1 A simple objective To create a global fixed income portfolio targeting specific yield levels (two offerings: +3% or +4%) above short-term U.S. with minimum volatility. A consistent process Applies a robust optimization process to identify the optimal mix of asset classes to achieve the target yield level. A thoughtful design Checks whether achieving the target yield level requires too much risk; if so, reduces target yield level by 25bps and re-optimizes. Note: There is no guarantee that the products will be able to achieve their targeted excess yield. 1
2 STEP 1: DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT UNIVERSE Broad universe provides the raw material for the portfolio to adapt to ever changing market dynamics. 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bills 3-7 Year U.S. U.S. TREASURY 1-3 Year U.S Year U.S. Short-Term Corporates Investment Grade Corporates CREDIT Short-Term High Yield Bonds High Yield Bonds Year U.S. 20+ Year U.S. Floating Rate Notes INTERNATIONAL OTHER Short-Term Int. International Agency Bond Commercial Paper Local Currency E.M. Bonds USD E.M. Bonds MBS Repurchase Agreements The universe as well as the ETFs used to implement the positions in the universe can change at Newfound s discretion. 2
3 STEP 2: DYNAMICALLY EVALUATE YIELD TO RISK TRADEOFF Constant re-evaluation of the universe followed by dynamic portfolio management is crucial since the risk/reward trade-off can vary substantially across market environments. Excess Yield-to-Risk Example: The excess yield (over 1-3 Year U.S. ) per unit volatility offered by 7-10 Year U.S. has dramatically evolved over the last 11 years. When the excess yield-to-risk is high, increasing duration is compelling; when it is low, there is little benefit offered In 2003, 7-10 Year U.S. offered an excess of nearly 70 basis points of yield for each unit of volatility Source: Yahoo! Finance, Newfound Research. Data is through 3/31/15. Yield is calculated as smoothed 12-month trailing dividends divided by price. Volatility is the standard deviation of daily log returns over the period. Excess Yield-to-Risk is the ratio of the excess yield offered by 7-10 Year U.S. (ishares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF, ticker: IEF) over the yield offered by 1-3 Year U.S. (ishares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF, ticker: SHY) to the volatility of 7-10 Year U.S. (ishares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF, ticker: IEF). 3 In 2008, the yield curve was so flat that there was little excess yield generated per unit volatility. While not at 2004 levels, more recent yield-curve dynamics have resulted in 7-10 Year U.S. offering the most attractive excess yield per unit risk since early 2005.
4 STEP 3: CONSTRUCT PORTFOLIO AND ENFORCE RISK LIMITS Thoughtfully reaching for yield requires knowing when to dial back risk by lowering yield targets. Construct all portfolios that offer the target yield (3%/4% above short-term ). Select the portfolio with the lowest volatility. No Lower yield target by 25 bps Is the portfolio within pre-set risk limits? Yes Is the new portfolio sufficiently different from the existing portfolio? Yes No Rebalance No Action There is no guarantee that the strategy will achieve its objectives. There are no guarantees that the strategy will be positioned correctly for any given market environment. The strategy utilizes various rebalance techniques designed to reducing transaction costs and turnover, which may result in the strategy s actual allocation straying from its target allocation. 4
