9 Our Current Views Outlook Continued supportive monetary policy and falling oil prices should be good for global growth Risks remain Uncertainty around the timing and impact of US interest rate rises Deflation in the Eurozone Continued political tensions (the rise of Syriza, Russia/Ukraine conflict, Middle East) Valuation Many asset classes appear priced to deliver lower returns than in recent years 8
10 Appendices
11 Diversified Growth Team Dedicated team. Three managers plus three analysts and two investment assistants Gradual increase in resources since inception Continue to draw upon a wealth of internal and external resources Regular meetings with Baillie Gifford Rates and Currencies, Credit and Equity teams Patrick Edwardson Head of Diversified Growth David McIntyre Investment Manager James Squires Investment Manager No change in investment process Partner 22 yrs experience 22 yrs with Baillie Gifford 7 yrs experience 7 yrs with Baillie Gifford 9 yrs experience 9 yrs with Baillie Gifford A team-based approach 9
12 Internal Resources 10
13 Our Long Term Return Expectations We have made a small reduction to our tenyear estimate for inflation, largely to reflect current environment Prospective nominal returns remain low, though many asset classes still offer a decent return over short term interest rates Some market valuations are higher than six months ago, hence the lower return expectation This is the case for equities, infrastucture, high yield bonds and insurance linked securities As at 31 st December Year % Long Term % Expected Return on Cash (UK base rate) Expected UK CPI Inflation Expected Return over Cash 10 Year % Long Term % UK Government Bonds UK Index Linked Government Bonds Investment Grade (sterling) High Yield Bonds Senior Loans Equities UK Property Infrastructure Emerging Market Bonds Commodities Insurance Linked Note: Expected returns exclude alpha generation from our exposure 11
14 Robust Risk Management Central to our investment process Four key pillars to our risk management process: Diversification guidelines Pragmatic use of risk models Scenario analysis Peer review and challenge Focus on risk reflected in: Low volatility since inception Resilience in periods of market stress istockphoto.com 12
