A review of post election flows to date: US, Financials, andIndustrials dominate

Summary of post election ETP activityAlmost immediately following the last US Presidential Election on November 8th,ETPs began to record significant activity across the board. The current analysisrevisits this activity through March 14th 2017 in an effort to review the main trendsand determine whether some of the initial trends have strengthened, remained,weakened, or disappeared. For the purpose of our analysis we only considervehicles offering long exposure, or in other words, we exclude any leveraged orinverse products.

On a high level, US equities have been the clear winners in terms of both inflowsand performance. US equities have received $147bn inflows since the electionday, and returned almost 12% during the same period. Within US equities, SmallCaps have received strong relative inflows with $23bn equivalent to 20% of theassets on election day. Similarly, Financials and Industrials have posted strongflow and performance activity; Financials have received close to $14bn (47% ofassets) in new cash flows and advanced almost 25% in value, while Industrialshave recorded inflows of almost $7bn (51% of assets) and returned near 13% inthe period since the election.

International equities have also experienced positive activity, but less significantthan US equities. Intl DM equities have gathered $24bn of inflows (9% of assets)with gains of 7.0% since the election. While EM equities have received $7bn ofinflows (5% of assets) with positive returns of 3.4% during the same period.

Outside equities, most fixed income asset classes with high exposure to rate riskand investment grade credit have experienced negative returns, however flowswere mixed and only pure rate exposures such as Intermediate and Long durationUS Treasuries experienced outflows. On the other hand, Senior Loans, very shortUS Treasuries, and Inflation recorded the strongest relative inflows with 43% ofassets, 23%, and 13%, respectively. On the Commodity front, Gold and Crude Oilproducts experienced weakness. Gold has recorded almost $6bn of outflows witha loss of 6.2% since election day; while Crude Oil experienced negative flows of$0.7bn and just above flat performance through Mar 14th .

As the numbers suggest, and with just over 4 months since the election day,ETP flows clearly reflect the Trump trade. Overall, the "America First" chant isclearly heard with US-focused ETFs dominating the flow activity. Moreover, theinflows into the small cap segment highlights the focus on the domestic economy.The inflows into Industrials reflect the focus in revitalizing manufacturing andinfrastructure, the inflows into Financials and particularly Banks echo the effortsto roll back regulation, the inflows in Aerospace & Defense speak loudly tothe proposed increases in Defense budget, and the erratic flows in Health Caresuggest just the uncertainty related to the success of the policies in such space.Inflows into Intl DM and EM equities suggest the benefits to the global economyfrom stronger US economic growth, while specific country flows reflect the toneof Trump's foreign policy. And lastly inflows into Inflation and outflows from Goldand Rates support a stronger growth story with a more benevolent environmentfor risky assets.

Appendix C: DefinitionsETP Universe Definitions

Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs)We define an exchange-traded product (ETP) as a secure (funded or collateralized)open-ended exchange-traded equity with no embedded optionality and market-wide appeal to investors. This includes exchange traded funds (ETF), andexchange-traded vehicles (ETV). The vast majority of instruments are ETFs (~98%in AUM).

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)ETFs are open-ended funds which are listed on an exchange and offer intra-daydual liquidity to access diversified investments in a transparent, cheap, and taxefficient way. ETFs indexed to equity and fixed income benchmarks are registeredunder the investment company act of 1940. Only physical index replicationtechniques are permissible by this legislation while synthetic replication is notallowed.

Exchange-traded vehicles (ETVs)This terminology typically refers to grantor trusts that exist in the US market.These instruments track primarily commodity benchmarks. They differ fromETFs in that they are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and not theInvestment Company Act of 1940, hence they are not classed as funds. Vehiclesthat replicate commodity benchmarks, more often known as pools, and fundstargeting alternative index returns are formed under the Commodities ExchangeAct and are listed under the 33 Securities Act, and report under 34 Corporate Act.

Management Style or Product Strategy Definitions

BetaThis is the main group with the largest number of products and assets.Within this category we account for all those ETFs that track an index whichemploys a market capitalization weighting methodology, and a simple selectionmethodology usually involving screenings such as minimum market cap andliquidity levels, or profitability levels. ETFs in this group are also referred to as“plain-vanilla” ETFs. Some examples of indices falling within this category are:S&P 500, S&P 400, S&P 600, MSCI EAFE, MSCI EM, Russell 2000, and Russell1000, to name a few.

Beta+In this group we include every product that offers any level of leverage or inverseimplementation. For example, an ETF offering access to twice the daily returnsof the S&P 500 on either direction (long or short) would be classified under thiscategory.

ActiveClassifying products in this group is still easy; basically if the ETF doesn’t trackany index then we classify the fund as active.

Enhanced Beta (aka Smart Beta)This category is reserved for those ETFs that also track an index, but whichfollow more elaborated strategies. After defining an index universe, there aretwo main levers that determine most of the risk/return profile of the index: (1)

the selection criteria, and (2) the weighting criteria. In their selection process,enhanced beta ETFs usually employ additional screening processes and scoringsystems involving multiple factors beyond just minimum market cap and liquiditylevels. For example, they could include growth or value scores, dividends paidor dividend yield, earnings, volatility, or momentum screens, to name a few. Theweighting methodology of enhanced beta ETFs is usually anything but marketcap weighted, it can include simple equal weighting or variations of it, optimizedweights, and other metric-specific weights such as those based on dividendspaid, inverse volatility, dividend yield, fundamental multi factor scores, earnings,and revenues, to name a few. An enhanced beta ETF will either have a non-traditional selection methodology, a non-traditional weighting methodology, or acombination of both.

Product Type Definitions

Asset Allocation ETFsThis group covers all ETFs with exception of levered and inverse products. Theseare usually good products for market access strategies, portfolio completion, andcore positions. They are also efficient building blocks for multi asset strategies.When selecting these products, major emphasis should be set on the desiredexposure, tracking efficiency, primary liquidity (i.e. the liquidity of the underlyingbasket), and cost.

Cash Management ETFsThis group covers a more selected group of ETFs which in addition to beinggood asset allocation tools, also serves a series of cash management portfolioneeds. For example, these products are very good for equitizing cash betweentransitions, around reporting periods (window dressing), and during tax lossharvesting. These ETFs usually have good liquidity, large fund size, and lowcost, all of which makes it easier to execute sizeable short-term transactions,therefore secondary market liquidity and fund size tend to be a more relevantfactor compared to asset allocation ETFs. The most popular asset allocation usageof these funds is as core building blocks.

Pseudo Futures ETFsThis group covers an even more selected sample of ETFs which in additionto being good asset allocation and cash management tools can also be usedfor fulfilling risk management functions such as risk hedging, portable alphastrategies, or tactical shorts. Many times they also trade at a cheaper level thantheir underlying basket, and offer large amounts of liquidity which can make themattractive for market making activities as well. Secondary and short liquidity (easeto borrow), and fund size tend to be more relevant characteristics at the momentof selecting this type of ETFs. There is usually no more than one pseudo futuresETF per asset class. The most popular asset allocation usage of these fundsis among portfolios that require more liquidity given their size or more tacticalnature.

For an investor who is long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash flows),increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a loss.

The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be theloss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adversemacroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation(including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency convertibility(which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and settlement issuesrelated to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed income instrumentsto macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX depreciation, or tospecified interest rates – these are common in emerging markets. It is important to note that the index fixings may -- byconstruction -- lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to track. The choice of theproper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexed toa typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is also important to acknowledgethat funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are denominated carries FX risk. Naturally,options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to the risks related to rates movements.??Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including, among others, market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk.The appropriateness or otherwise of these products for use by investors is dependent on the investors' own circumstancesincluding their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and liabilities, and as such,investors should take expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar to or inspired by thecontents of this publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can be substantial. As aresult of the high degree of leverage obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be incurred that are greaterthan the amount of funds initially deposited. Trading in options involves risk and is not suitable for all investors. Priorto buying or selling an option investors must review the "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options”, at http://www.optionsclearing.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp. If you are unable to access the website please contactyour Deutsche Bank representative for a copy of this important document.?

Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including the following: ( i)exchange rates can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; ( ii) the value of currencies may be affected bynumerous market factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity anddebt markets and changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government imposedexchange controls which could affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values areaffected by the currency of an underlying security, effectively assume currency risk.?
