Sectio 2 Idex level calculatios 2.0 Idex level calculatios This sectio details the commo idex level calculatios that are used across differet FTSE fixed icome idex families, which refer to this guide. For each idex calculatio, a descriptio is give alog with the formulae, ad a list of the idex families that the calculatio applies to. The key to the otatio used i this documet ca be foud i Appedix 1. 2.1 Total Retur Idex (TRI) The total retur idex seeks to replicate the retur from holdig the idex portfolio; it gives the market value weighted retur of the idex costituets, takig ito accout price movemets, accrued iterest ad cash-flows from the bods (icludig coupo paymets, redemptios or repurchases). 2.1.1 TRI: Stadard Formula Applies to: FTSE Global Bods FTSE BOCHK Offshore RMB FTSE TMX Caada FTSE MTS FTSE ASFA Australia FTSE Chia Oshore The geeralised total retur idex formula ca be expressed as: TR t = TR t-1 P i,t +AI i,t +XDIV i,t.

For idexes that do ot have bods that go ex-divided or do ot cotai cappig, the formula ca further be simplified: TR t =TR t-1 P i,t +AI i,t. FFXX ii,tt.n. i,t-1. R i,t +Cash i,t P i,t-1 +AI i,t-1. FFXX ii,tt 1.N i,t-1..r i,t-1 +Cash i,t-1 FTSE Russell Guide to Calculatio Methods for the Fixed Icome Idexes, v1.5, December 2015 5 of 19

2.1.2 Idex Cash The cash term i the total retur formula, Cash i,t is the sum of ay coupos, G i,t ad ay pricipal repaymets, RD i,t from bod i, which have accumulated sice the last cashflow re-ivestmet date util the calculatio date, t ad ca be expressed as: where: ad: Cash i,t =Cash i,t-1 + G i,t +RD i,t G i,t = c i f i XD_Marker i. FFXX ii,tt.n i,t-1.r i,c.cf i,t RD i,t = R i,t-1 -R i,t RP i,t.n i,t-1 CF i,t For idexes that re-ivest cash o a daily basis, such as the FTSE TMX ad MTS idices, Cash i,t-1, is always zero. For idexes that re-ivest cash o a mothly basis, Cash i,t-1 is the cashflow assiged to the bod o the previous calculatio date, uless t-1 is the cash re-ivestmet date, i which case it is set to zero. 2.1.3 Ex-Divided treatmet For bods that go ex-divided, bodholders are ot eligible to receive the ext coupo if they are ot the holder of the bod prior to the ex-divided date. This has two implicatios o the total retur, which are accouted for the total retur idex formula i sectio 2.1.1 1. Accrued Iterest Whe a bod is tradig ex-divided the accrued iterest turs egative. Whe chai-likig with the previous calculatio day s accrued iterest, a adjustmet eeds to be made to reflect this drop. This is doe via XDIV i,t : XDIV i,t = c i f i.xd_marker i.n i,t.r i,c.cf i,t For bods which do ot have coupos that go ex-divided XDIV i,t =0. 2. Idex Rebalacig. If a bod eters a idex durig its ex-divided period, the ext coupo paymet will ot be recogised i the total retur as it is assumed that ayoe replicatig the idex will have bought the bod durig its ex-divided period, ad will ot be eligible to receive the ext coupo paymet. If a bod does eter the idex durig its ex-divided period, XD_Marker i =0, otherwise it is XD_Marker i =1. 2.1.4 Cappig Factors The total retur formula i sectio 2.1.1 takes ito accout ay cappig that is applicable to bod i. CF i,t = Capped Bod Notioal i N i,t If the idex does ot iclude ay cappig, or the bod is ot capped, the Cappig Factor, CF i,t is equal to 1. The cappig factor is reset o ay date that the idex cappig is applied, which is usually the same day as the idex is rebalaced.

2.1.5 Pricipal Redemptios Ay partial or complete redemptios eed to be accouted for i the calculatio of the total retur, so that i) ay redemptio icome is realised ad ii) the market value of the remaiig bod is adjusted dowward, proportioal to the amout that is redeemed. I the total retur idex formula i sectio 2.1.1, this is hadled by the redemptio factor, R i,t. New Bod Outstadig Amout R i,t = N i,t As N i,t is reset to the curret bod outstadig amout o each rebalacig date, R i,t is reset to equal 1 o each rebalacig date. 2.1.6 TRI: Ex-div Re-ivestmet Applies to: FTSE Actuaries UK Gilts For idexes which iclude bods whose coupos go ex-divided ad ay coupo icome is reivested o the ex-divided date, the total retur idex ca be expressed as: 2.2 Clea Price Idex (PRI) 2.2.1 PRI: Stadard Formula TR t =TR t-1 Applies to: FTSE Global Bods FTSE TMX Caada FTSE MTS FTSE ASFA Australia FTSE Chia Oshore P i,t +AI i,t.

Sectio 3 Bod level calculatios 3.0 Bod level calculatios This sectio details bod level calculatios that are used across differet FTSE fixed icome idex families. The formulae for the calculatios are geerally the same; however, they accout for local market covetios, such as day cout covetios or roudig. Where these occur, they are highlighted. 3.1 Accrued Iterest The accrued iterest is calculated as the iterest payable whe purchasig a bod, this is to accout for the iterest icome that is due to the previous ower of the bod, who will ot be receivig the ext coupo paymet. Accrued iterest is calculated as follows: A i,t =fractioal iterest period i,t C i f i For bods whose coupos do ot go ex-divided, or are ot i their ex-divided period, fractioal iterest period i,t is calculated as the time betwee the previous coupo date ad the settlemet date, i terms of coupo periods, accordig to the day cout covetio of the bod. More specifically, the fractioal iterest period i,t is: Settlemet Date-Previous Coupo Date fractioal iterest period i,t = Number of days i coupo period The umber of days i the umerator ad the deomiator are calculated accordig to the day cout covetio of the bod. For further details o day cout covetios, please cosult Appedix 2. For bods which are curretly i the ex-divided coupo period, the fractioal coupo period is calculated as the time betwee the ext coupo date ad the settlemet date, i terms of coupo periods, accordig to the day cout covetio of the bod. Sice the ext coupo date is always after the settlemet date, the fractioal coupo period is egative. More specifically, the fractioal iterest period i,t for bods i their ex-divided period is: Next Coupo Date-Settlemet Date fractioal iterest period i,t = Number of days i coupo period The calculatio of accrued iterest, accouts for odd first ad last coupos.

3.1.1 Accrued Iterest: Bak of Caada Method For CAD$ bods, accrued iterest is calculated accordig to the ACT/365 day cout covetio. This affects the calculatio of reported accrued iterest used for the cash settlemet of the bod; however, the accrued iterest for the purpose of the gross price calculatio (to be used i the followig Yield ad Duratio calculatios) is calculated o a ACT/ACT basis. 3.2 Yield to Maturity The yield to maturity of a bod is the costat discout rate which will discout all future cashflows of a bod to equal its curret clea price plus accrued iterest (dirty price). The yield to maturity is foud by solvig the followig formula iteratively: mm PP ii,tt + AA ii,tt =. kk=1 CCCCCChFFFFFFww ii,kk (1 + YY ii,tt ff ii,tt ) vv rr +kk 1 The compoudig frequecy of the calculated yield to maturity, Y i,t correspods to the compoudig frequecy of the bod. For example, if the coupo frequecy is semi-aual (f i =2), the the calculated yield will be compouded o a semi-aual basis. 3.2.1 Yield Coversios I order to aualise a semi-aually compouded yield, the followig formula is used: aual yield= 1+ Y i,t 2 2-1 I order to derive a semi-aually compouded yield from a aual yield, the followig formula is used: 3.2.2 Simple Yield semi_aual yield=2 aual yield i,t +1-2 For bods eterig their fial coupo period, the simple yield is calculated, o a moey market basis (ACT/360 or ACT/365) istead of yield to maturity. SY i,t = FV i-(p i,t +A i,t ) 360 or 365. P i,t +A i,t v 3.3 Macaulay Duratio 3.3.1 The Macaulay duratio of a bod is the time weighted average of the remaiig cashflows. It ca be calculated as: 3.4 Modified Duratio MacDur i,t = M k=1 CashFlow k. P i,t +A i,t.f i k 1+ Y i,t f i 3.4.1 The modified duratio of a bod is the percetage chage i the price arisig from a 1% chage i the yield to maturity.

Appedix 2: Day to Cout Covetios Bod level calculatios such as yield, accrued iterest, duratio ad covexity rely o the day-cout covetio of each bod. These covetios describe the assumptios that are used whe calculatig the umber of days betwee two dates. The mai day cout covetios are: ACT/ACT ACT/365 ACT/360 30/360 30/360 (US) 30/360 (Eurobod) The first part of the covetio ame, before the /, idicates the assumed umber of days i a moth betwee two dates. The part after the / idicates the umber of assumed days i a year. Whe usig the 30/360 covetio for example, the 30 meas that there are a assumed 30 days i each moth betwee two dates, ad the 360 meas that there are 360 days i each year betwee two dates. ACT meas that the actual umber of days are couted. The 30/360 (US) ad the 30/360 (Euro) covetios are similar to the 30/360, but vary i the adjustmets to the start ad ed dates: 30/360 (US) 1. If the day of the start date (D1) is 31, D1 is chaged to 30, the 2. If the day of the ed date (D2) is 31, ad D1 is 30, the chage D2 to 30. 30/360 (Euro) 1. If the day of the start date (D1) is 31, the D1 is chaged to 30, the 2. If the day of the ed date (D2) is 31, the chage D2 to 30. Additioally, there are covetios o the treatmet of o-busiess days, such as: Followig - If a date falls o a o-busiess day, it is moved forward to the ext busiess day. Modified Followig - If a date falls o a o-busiess day, it is moved forward to the ext busiess day, uless that day is i the ext caledar moth, i which case the previous busiess day is used. Ed of Moth - This meas that each date is adjusted so that it falls at the o the last caledar day of the moth. I order to illustrate the differet day cout covetios, the examples below show how the accrued iterest is calculated for a bod uder various scearios. FTSE Russell Guide to Calculatio Methods for the Fixed Icome Idexes, v1.5, December 2015 16 of 19

Example 1 ACT/ACT Coupo 2.75% semi-aual Maturity 21 Apr 2024 Settlemet Date 04 Aug 2014 Previous Coupo Date 21 Apr 2014 Next Coupo date 21 Oct 2014 I this example, the bod pays a coupo of 2.75 semi-aually, ad uses the ACT/ACT day cout covetio. The accrued iterest ca be calculated as: A i,t =fractioal iterest period i,t C i f i where: Settlemet Date-Previous Coupo Date fractioal iterest period_(i,t)= Number of days i coupo period Usig the ACT/ACT covetio, the actual umber of caledar days betwee the settlemet date of 04 August 2014 ad the previous coupo date of 21 Apr 2014 is 105 days. The actual umber of days i the coupo period, betwee the ext coupo date of 21 October 2014 ad the ext coupo date of 21 October 2014 is 183 days. This gives the fractioal iterest period i,t as: The accrued iterest is therefore: Example 2 ACT/365 fractioal iterest period i,t = 105 183 = 0.57377 AA ii,tt = 0.57377 2.75% 2 = 0.78893 Usig the ACT/365covetio, the actual umber of days i a moth are used, but each year is assumed to cosist of 365 days. Usig the example above, the umerator ad the deomiated of the fractioal iterest period (i,t) is calculated as follows: Settlemet date Previous Coupo Date = 04 August 2014 21 April 2014 = 105 days Number of Days i coupo period = 365days i a year/2 coupos per year = 182.5days The accrued iterest is therefore: A i,t = 105 182.5 2.75% =0.79110 2 FTSE Russell Guide to Calculatio Methods for the Fixed Icome Idexes, v1.5, December 2015 17 of 19

Example 3 30/360 Uder the 30/360 day cout covetio, it is assumed that there are 30 days i a moth, ad 360 days i a whole year. I order to calculate the period betwee two dates; first the umber of moths betwee the two dates is foud ad multiplied by 30; this is added to the differece betwee the day compoet of the dates. Usig the same details as the bod i example 1, the calculatio is as follows: Settlemet date Previous Coupo Date = 04 August 2014 21 April 2014 = (August April) x 30 days + (4-21) days = (4 * 30) days 17 days = 103 days Number of Days i coupo period = 360 i a year/2 coupos per year The accrued iterest is therefore: Example 4 ACT/365, followig busiess day = 180 days A i,t = 103 180 2.75% =0.78681 2 Agai usig example 1, but with a settlemet date of 07 Mar 2024. This meas that the previous coupo date is 21 Oct 2023. As the previous coupo date falls o a Saturday, usig the followig busiess day covetio, this date is moved to the ext busiess day: 23 October 2023. Settlemet date Previous Coupo Date = 07 Mar 2024 21 Oct 2023 = 136 days Number of Days i coupo period = 365days i a year/2 coupos per year = 182.5 The accrued iterest is therefore: A i,t = 136 182.5 2.75% =1.02466 2 FTSE Russell Guide to Calculatio Methods for the Fixed Icome Idexes, v1.5, December 2015 18 of 19
