16 Portfolio positioning

17 Our outlook for global equities in 2015 Equities look broadly fair value at a global level But economic growth looks underpinned, hence we would expect continued earnings growth Valuations look better in Europe, Japan and Asia versus the US on most valuation measures Europe is our biggest overweight, we are more optimistic than consensus on the growth outlook We have a clear preference for economically sensitive stocks, defensive earnings/bond proxies are overvalued in our view Signs of structural change in Japan interest us, though identifying attractive companies fulfilling our criteria is proving more difficult Source; Invesco as at June Opinions are based on current market conditions and are subject to change without notice. 17

18 Invesco Global Equity Income Fund Current sector positioning We see economically sensitive sectors looking better value than defensives or bond proxies We are cautious on utilities and technology stocks We like financials and industrials, particularly in Europe We have neutralised our long standing underweight in the energy Remain focused on companies that fulfil our quality criteria Source; Invesco as at June

Calculations assume minimum mortgage risk-weights of 15% with a +50% surcharge on internal model-based market risk RWAs. Target B3 CET 1 ratio is calculated by applying a B3 fully loaded ratio of between 10%-14.5% to each bank (based on Citi 2016E target forecasts). Each bank s corresponding deficit/surplus has been calculated and cumulatively added to generate a sector deficit/surplus.
