5 Section 1: Summary Sponsored by

6 Section 1: 1. The DGF Story For pension fund investment, the 1990s were all about balanced funds, where fund managers managed a static allocation between bonds and equities. In order to help pension schemes track their balanced fund performance, benchmarks were created that mimicked the static asset mix for example 50% *FTSE All Share/ 50% ML Broad Market. When CAPS launched their Pooled Balanced Median and peer group reports, managers started to herd towards the median and benchmark. This resulted in a homogeneous universe which either tracked its performance against itself or against market indices. Using market indices allows the manager to have periods of negative performance when markets perform negatively. And if managers outperform the benchmark, but still have negative performance, they can do so with a smile on their face. By the early 2000s, some managers and consultants were questioning this behaviour. They wanted positive performance in all markets and a diverse universe which allowed managers to do what they are good at, not what the market dictated. The market downturn in early 2000s highlighted some big US public plans and endowment funds which had survived the period with a positive return. They had done so by holding a diversified pot of assets with static allocation. By the mid 2000s, the Pensions Regulator introduced the statutory funding objective for pension schemes to replace the minimum funding requirement. This started to change the way pension scheme assets were viewed by trustees and the sponsoring company. New language started to emerge like growth assets and matching assets which helped develop conversations away from just discussing equities and bonds. In 2004, P-Solve were already actively rotating capital across asset classes for fiduciary clients. For traditional advisory clients with different governance structures, they began introducing swing portfolios by investing in Dynamic Asset Allocation funds. In 2005 Schroders designed a DGF strategy for their own pension scheme which was similar to the US endowment funds but which rotated dynamically through the growth asset classes. Their consultant at the time was AON Hewitt and in 2006 they launched a fund making the strategy accessible to small and medium sized pension schemes. By the early 2000s, some managers and consultants were questioning this behaviour. They wanted positive performance in all markets and a diverse universe which allowed managers to do what they are good at, not what the market dictated The second half of the 2000s saw interest and activity in the DGF snowball. HSBC Actuaries & Consultants (now JLT Employee Benefits) was joined by P-Solve as the two main consultants who were directing pension fund assets into DGFs. There was a raft of funds launched to cater for the demand from smaller pension schemes. When the credit crunch struck, all eyes turned to the DGF managers; this would be their first real test. Could they preserve capital or at least not experience such deep drawdowns as equity funds? Some didn t survive whilst others, like Barings DAA fund and the Standard Life GARS fund did, proving the DGF concept and carrying on to become significant success stories.

7 Section 1: 2. Survey highlights The number of DGF products available in GBP as at 30th June 2015 is 85. Of these there are 67 products which have 3 years or more track records and 18 products which have less than 3 years history. Assets under management, in these DGF products, now total over 126bn. In the last quarter DGF assets grew by 2.5bn with Standard Life being the largest winner with asset inflows of 1.4bn during the quarter. First Quadrant, L.P. achieved the largest percentage growth seeing their assets increase by 23.77% over the quarter. Standard Life is still by far the manager with the largest share of assets in DGF products with over 42bn under management. The top 5 managers, with the largest AuM of DGF sterling products, are: Standard Life; Ruffer; BlackRock; Newton and Schroder. In June 2015 DGF products had their worst monthly performance in a year with all products producing negative returns of between -0.58% and -5.14%. DGFs with an objective of cash plus less than three percent achieved a median return of 3.5% over the last year. DGFs with an objective of cash plus three to five percent achieved a median return of 6.4% over the last year. DGFs with an objective of cash plus five to seven percent achieved a median return of 4.9% over the last year. True to their objective DGFs achieved monthly median returns of between -3% and 3% over a three year period, providing a much smoother ride than the MSCI world index which achieved monthly returns ranging from -6% and 8%. According to the CAMRADATA IQ quant screens for the 3 years to 30 June 2015, stand out products with an objective of cash plus less than three percent are from UBS, M&G and Momentum. Stand out products with an objective of cash plus three to five percent are from Fulcrum, LGT Capital Partners and Jupiter. Stand out products with an objective of cash plus five to seven percent are from Nordea, Standard Life, and PineBridge Investments. For new comers to the DGF universe, the CAMRADATA IQ quant screen over one year rather than the usual three show the stand out products with an objective of cash plus three to five percent are Ruffer LLP, Aberdeen and Baring Asset Management (London). DGFs fees appear to be coming down with new product launches. The maximum fee for DGF products with an objective of cash plus three to five with a track record less than three years is 0.8% compared to 1.0% for products with a longer track record.
