At current levels, valuation looks fair for H-shares (hence Hold) but rich for A-shares (hence Sell). In this note, we summarize managements responses to 20 FAQs. Diminishing impact from coal-fired equipment downcycle The company sees manageable downside risk to its coal-fired equipment sales during 2017-18, as most of the projects to be delivered have already gone half way through their construction cycles, which means substantial losses for project owners if those projects get suspended. Management expects its coal- fired equipment sales to sustain at c.Rmb10bn toward 2020 (2016: Rmb12bn), which would account for only c.10% of its 2020 sales target of Rmb100bn. We are more cautious, expecting its coal-fired equipment revenue to drop by 8-10% in 2017-19 and account for 10% of its sales by 2019. Key drivers for power equipment: wind (2017-18) and nuclear (2019-20) Despite disappointing 2020 development targets for wind power announced by the government, management believes its unique positioning in offshore wind power equipment (c.50% market share globally in 2016) should allow its wind turbine segment to sustain growth at least during 2017-18. Nuclear power projects should see concrete resumption this year, and more projects are expected to kick off construction ahead. This should drive accelerating nuclear revenue recognition starting in 2019. We project a CAGR of 9% and 15% for its wind and nuclear equipment sales, respectively, over 2017-19. Key drivers for non-power equipment: overseas EPC and basic parts Elevator business should remain stable, with rising after-sales and escalator sales offsetting weakness in new sales for traditional elevators. Management expects the injection of SPM to bring immediate accretion (sales of Rmb7-8bn) and to strengthen its strategic positioning in the basic parts business, in light of the government’s strong push for localization of core components. For overseas EPC, it will mainly focus on the countries alongside the “One Belt One Road” and only undertakes projects that are on Sinosure’s list to manage risks. We project a 2017-19 CAGR of 3% for non-power equipment sales. Tweaking estimates and target prices while retaining ratings; dividend; risks Incorporating the 2016 results and guidance, we lowered our earnings estimates by 7% for 2017/18 and introduced our 2019 forecasts. We raised our target prices for H-shares to HKD3.6 and for A-shares to Rmb3.2 as we slightly lift our target P/B to 0.90x (vs. 0.85x previously) to reflect the potential for ROE accretion from the announced asset injections. We expect Shanghai Electric to resume dividend payout this year after completing its A-share placement. This, along with the distribution of deferred dividends for 2015-16, should lead to a 2017 dividend yield of c.4% for H-shares. We maintain Hold for H-shares and reiterate Sell for A-shares.

We hosted a post-results NDR with Shanghai Electric management in HK on March 20-22. The company expects its power equipment business to remain resilient, with rising offshore wind and nuclear equipment offsetting the coal-fired equipment downcycle. For non-power equipment, overseas EPC and basic parts business (through the upcoming asset injection) will likely be the two key drivers. We project an earnings CAGR of 6% over 2017-19. At current levels, valuation looks fair for H-shares (hence Hold) but rich for A-shares (hence Sell). In this note, we summarize managements responses to 20 FAQs.

20 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Overall outlook – revenue and margins

FAQ#1: What is the growth outlook for Shanghai Electric during the 13th Five-

Year-Plan period?

In short, the company expects to increase its sales to Rmb100bn by 2020, with

wind power equipment being a key driver in 2017-18 and nuclear power

equipment emerging as a key driver in 2019-20.

Shanghai Electric is expecting to grow its revenue to Rmb100bn by 2020

(2016: Rmb79bn). To accomplish this goal, the company expects:

Wind turbine business to remain a key growth driver during 2017-18

Nuclear power business to take off during 2019-20

Coal-fired power equipment business to sustain a revenue size of

Rmb10bn from 2019 onwards

Elevator business to remain steady, with rising after-sales service sales and

escalator sales offsetting the weakness in its traditional elevator business

Basic parts business to emerge as a new growth driver following its

acquisition of Shanghai Prime Machinery

Overseas EPC business to accelerate in light of China’s “One Belt One

Road” policy initiative

The company also aims to achieve profit growth that is faster than top-line

growth.

FAQ#2: What is the GP margin outlook in the coming years?

In short, Shanghai Electric expects a stable GP margin in the coming years.

Management expects its GP margin:

For the new energy and environment protection segment to expand, with

volume ramping up for both wind and nuclear island equipment

For the high-efficiency and clean energy equipment segment to see a

slight decline driven by coal-fired power equipment

For the industrial equipment segment to remain steady

For the modern service segment to remain stable

High-efficiency and clean energy equipment segment

FAQ#3: What are the implications for the company’s coal-fired power

equipment business from the government’s tightening control on thermal

power supply? Does the company see any near-term impact from the

suspension of 50GW coal power projects announced earlier this year?

In short, the impact to 2017-18 revenue should be limited, but it may negatively

affect the revenue outlook for 2019 and onwards.

Based on the company’s on-the-ground checks, the announced 50GW thermal

project suspension did not come with details – i.e. it has not yet been finalized

as to which project would be affected.

According to the company’s production plan, Shanghai Electric is still

expecting mild volume growth for 2017-18. In terms of revenue, the company

does not expect big drop in sales for the coming two years (2017-18), and the

sales decline is expected to be milder than what was seen in 2016 (i.e. down

14% yoy).

The typical construction cycle for a coal power plant is three to four years.

Most of the projects to be delivered in 2017-18 have already gone half way

through the cycle (one to two years), which means substantial losses for

project owners if those projects are suspended. This is unlikely, in

management’s view.

For 2019, the impact could be bigger, but the company expects its revenue for

coal-fired power equipment to sustain at c.Rmb10bn (vs. Rmb12bn in 2016)

from 2019 onwards. This, along with the company’s sales target of Rmb100bn

by 2020, means that coal-fired equipment will likely account for only c.10% of

its revenue by 2020 (Figure 1).

As of end-2016, total order backlog for coal-fired power equipment amounted

to Rmb97.2bn, of which Rmb47.3bn (Figure 2) has already come into effect

(covering 3.4x 2016 coal-fired equipment sales).

FAQ#4: What is the pricing trend in recent years for coal-fired power

equipment? How does the company plan to mitigate the margin pressure from

rising raw material costs?

In short, management sees mild pricing declines for its focused coal-fired

equipment (i.e. generators and turbines).

Rising raw materials may adversely affect its margin from 2019, but Shanghai

Electric is striving to mitigate the impact by 1) undertaking more high-margin

overseas projects; and 2) implementing more stringent cost-control measures.

Management noted that pricing competition is much fiercer for boilers

because of the pricing war initiated by Dongfang Electric and Harbin Electric.

As a result, most of Shanghai Electric’s boiler orders were in fact loss-making

in recent years. To avoid this, the company has been more disciplined in taking

boiler orders, and the percentage of boiler orders has been declining.

In the meantime, Shanghai Electric has been focusing more on generators and

turbines, in which the company believes that it has visible competitive

advantages over its local peers. Pricing decline for these two products has

been around 5% in recent years.

The recent hike in raw material pricing should only affect its GP margin from

2019, as the orders to be delivered in coming years were signed two to three

years ago and the pricing was locked in. In addition, the price hike for specialty

steel should be much milder than that for conventional steel.

To mitigate the cost pressure:

The company plans to undertake more overseas power EPC projects

(alongside “One Belt One Road”), as these projects typically generate

higher GPM (vs. domestic projects) for the equipment part.

Shanghai Electric will continue to strengthen its cost controls by raising

local contents.

In the mid-term to long term, the company believes that the sustainable GP

margin level for coal-fired power equipment should be slightly below 20%.

FAQ#5: How does the company see its gas turbine business evolving in the

longer term?

In short, its gas turbine sales will continue to grow off a low base in the near

term. Profitability should keep improving with volume ramping up. In the longer

term, its strategic partnership with Ansaldo (AEN) should bear fruit.

Shanghai Electric’s sales of gas turbines jumped by 84% yoy (to Rmb2bn) in

2016. Its GP margin also improved significantly to 8.6% (vs. -3.5% in 2015),

with volume ramping up rapidly. Its order intake also stayed at a high level in

2016 (Rmb3.6bn).

Partnering with AEN and Posteitaliane, Shanghai Electric is currently

developing H-class gas turbine technology, which is considered the highest

technology standard for gas turbines.

In addition, AEN’s competitive position has been further strengthened after it

acquired Alstom’s heavy-duty gas turbine assets, as required by European

regulators (avoiding monopoly following GE’s acquisition of Alstom’s energy

business).

New energy and environment protection segment

FAQ#6: The Chinese government’s 2020 capacity target for wind power looks a

bit disappointing; why is the company still upbeat on its wind power business?

In short, Shanghai Electric will continue to focus on the offshore wind power

equipment business and maintain its dominance. It will remain a key growth

driver in 2017-18.

Indeed, the 2020 wind capacity target of 210GW appears a bit disappointing,

as it suggests a visible decline in annual capacity addition in the coming years.

However, of the 210GW target, 5GW will be for offshore wind power capacity,

compared with 1.63GW as of end-2016 (Figure 3). This translates into an

annual capacity addition of 842.5MW in the coming four years (vs. capacity

FAQ#7: What are the company’s views on the economics of offshore wind

power projects?

In short, management believes that the economics of offshore wind power

projects should improve with volume gradually ramping up.

The economics for offshore power projects are not optimal at the moment, but

management believes that key competitive advantages include 1) proximity to

coastal regions where the economy is typically more developed; 2) higher

power generation capacity (mainstream type of onshore wind turbine is ≤2MV

vs. 4MV for offshore wind turbine); 3) a more stable source of wind power; 4)

easy connection to the grid; and 5) less land occupation. Upfront investment is

typically substantial, but management expects the economics to improve with

volume gradually ramping up.

FAQ#8: What is the outlook for nuclear power business?

In short, management believes that nuclear power equipment will emerge as a

meaningful growth driver from 2019 as project approvals accelerate. Scope for

market share gains exists with its likely certification of CAP1000 technology.

2017 is the year that will likely see concrete resumption of nuclear power

projects. Management expects a total of eight nuclear projects to receive

green lights from the government and kick start construction in 2017.

The company aims to grow its new orders for nuclear island to >Rmb3bn in

2017 (vs. 2016’s Rmb2.15bn). In terms of revenue, the company guides for

10% growth in 2017. GP margin contraction in 2016 was mainly driven by

product mix and higher R&D expenses for fourth-generation nuclear

technology. Scope for margin expansion exists with volume ramping up.

Going forward, to meet the government’s development targets for nuclear

power by 2020, management expects six to eight nuclear projects to obtain

approvals every year.

Given Shanghai Electric adopts a percentage of completion method for nuclear

revenue recognition and the construction cycle is typically three to six years,

sales should see significant acceleration from 2019.

The company estimates that 1GW of nuclear power investment will translate

into Rmb2bn in orders for nuclear island equipment and Rmb1bn in orders for

nuclear conventional island equipment. Historically, Shanghai Electric has 40%

market share in nuclear island equipment and 30% market share in

conventional island equipment.

Shanghai Electric expects successful certification of its CAP1000 technology to

facilitate its market share gain in nuclear pumps, in which it currently only has

single-digit market share.

Industrial equipment segment

FAQ#9: What is the growth outlook for elevator business?

In short, management expects revenue for the segment to remain steady, with

strength in escalators and after-sale services offsetting weakness in new sales

for traditional elevators.

Management expects a stable outlook for the elevator segment.

Sales volume is expected to sustain positive growth, but revenue may

remain steady, as pricing will likely keep trending down amid intensifying

pricing competition.

Escalator sales should see higher growth driven by infrastructure projects.

That said, revenue size is relatively small at the moment, only around 1/11-

1/10 of its sales for traditional elevators.

After-sales services will be the key growth driver. Revenue was up 12%

yoy in 2016, with its contribution rising to 25% vs. 23% one year ago

(Figure 9).

Out of the total installed base of 600k units sold by Shanghai Mitsubishi,

only 250k units currently receive after-sales services from the OEM. The

company expects to grow its after-sales service base to 300k units in 2017.

Globally, after-sales services typically generate higher margin (vs. new

sales), but this is not the case in China due to fierce competition with

independent contractors.

However, this (low profitability for after-sales services) is set to improve

with the enforcement of safety regulations for special equipment, which

should give OEMs more competitive advantages. Volume ramp-up should

also facilitate margin expansions.

FAQ#10: What does the company expect the acquisition of Shanghai Prime

Machinery (SPM) to bring to this segment?

In short, immediate profit accretion and the import substitution potential for key

components in the future.

In addition to immediate revenue accretion of Rmb7-8bn, management

expects the acquisition of SPM to strengthen its strategic positioning in basic

parts business. Localization of core components is one of the Chinese

government’s priorities under the “Made in China 2025” initiative.

SPM has four business segments (Figure 10):

Turbine blade: Profitability has been improving, driven by the internal

restructuring and rising export sales. The segment is a high-end

manufacturing business and is asset heavy in nature. Management,

however, does not expect high growth and expects sales revenue to be

largely capped at Rmb1bn going forward.

Cutting tool: SPM is the technology leader in the domestic market, but its

technology gap compared to global leaders is still substantial. Of its

revenue, 70% is derived from low-end products, as the high-end market is

currently dominated by foreign players. Revenue size is expected to be

around Rmb600-800m. Future growth will likely be driven by business

model innovation and consolidation of distribution channels, which are the

two priorities for Shanghai Electric following the acquisition.

Bearing: SPM has three production plants for this business: 1) large-scale

bearing (for wind power and rolling stocks); 2) automotive bearing; and 3)

precision bearing (for aviation and aerospace). These businesses, however,

are largely niche-market focused.

Fastener: This is by far the biggest segment for SPM. SPM recently

acquired Nedschroef, which supplies fasteners to big auto makers like

BMW and Mercedes-Benz. In the domestic market, auto fastener is

dominated by foreign makers. This should present huge opportunities for

SPM if the synergy is achieved as expected.

FAQ#11: What is the company’s strategy for industrial automation business?

In short, acquisitions will be the key driver, and automation system integrators

with a niche vertical focus will be Shanghai Electric’s key targets.

The expansion of its industrial automation business will be driven by

acquisitions, which will focus on automation system integrators for niche

verticals. This is in line with what the company has been doing lately

(acquisition of Manz, a leading new energy automation solution provider, and

Broetje Group, a leading automation solution provider for the aerospace

industry).

After these acquisitions, the company intends to further consolidate these

companies and help them penetrate into domestic markets. At the moment,

Shanghai Electric does not have plans to make big acquisitions in the industrial

robotics area.

Modern service segment

FAQ#12: Why did the segment’s operating profit margin drop in 2016?

The OPM contraction was mainly because of: 1) higher investment gains for

financial services in 2015; and 2) higher contribution of low-margin

photovoltaic EPC projects.

FAQ#13: What are the key opportunities for overseas EPC business, and how

does the company manage risks?

In short, Shanghai Electric will focus on the countries alongside the “One Belt

One Road,” and it only undertakes those projects that are on Sinosure’s list to

manage risks.

EPC is a more popular form of contract for power projects in the overseas

markets compared to the domestic market. For Shanghai Electric, overseas

EPC projects typically generate higher equipment margin (these projects

typically procure Shanghai Electric’s equipment) compared with domestic

projects. In light of the thermal downturn in the domestic market, the company

intends to undertake more overseas power EPC projects to mitigate the

negative impact.

Of the Rmb22.17bn new EPC orders signed in 2016, 85% are overseas EPC

projects.

Of the Rmb59.7bn EPC order backlog as of end-2016, 75% is overseas EPC

projects. Rmb45bn has not yet come into effect.

Currently, major overseas EPC projects signed or likely to be signed include:

The Pakistan project is expected to kick off contract signing this year after

signing the cooperative agreement in April 2016. Total size of this project

is expected to be USD1.8bn.

Shanghai Electric has been closely monitoring a number of EPC projects in

Iran and Iraq, which if secured could bring out billions of USD contracts.

The Egypt project (Rmb17.9bn) has not yet come into effect, as

prepayment has not yet received.

To manage risks, Shanghai Electric will mainly focus on the countries

alongside the “One Belt One Road,” and it only undertakes those projects that

are on Sinosure’s list.

FAQ#14: What are the key opportunities and challenges for revamping existing

coal-fired power plants?

In short, stricter emission requirements should drive power plant service

business, and the company targets to grow the business by 50% yoy per annum.

Shanghai Electric expects stricter regulation for environmental protection to

drive revamping opportunities for existing coal-fired power plants. This

business is included in its power plant service segment.

Currently, average coal consumption for coal-fired power plants is 310g/KW,

and the government intends to lower it to <300g/KW for >600MW power

plants in five years. Shanghai Electric’s 1000MW ultra-supercritical second

reheat technology can lower the coal consumption to only 254g/KW, which is

the leading level in China. In the coming years, the company aims to grow this

business by 50% yoy per annum. The key challenge is the competition with

IPPs’ internal engineering arms.

SOE reform and industry consolidation

FAQ#15: What is the SOE reform potential for Shanghai Electric?

In short, asset restructuring is coming to an end. Employee stock ownership

may not be the best option for Shanghai Electric to incentivize its employees

given the variety of its business operations.

After the two rounds of asset injections in 2015-16, its parent company’s

group restructuring is coming to an end, with most of its high-end

manufacturing assets having been injected into the listco. The priority for

Shanghai Electric in the coming years will be to further consolidate these

businesses through internal restructuring.

Employee stock ownership is a big part of SOE reform, but management

believes at the moment that it may not be the best option for Shanghai

Electric, as the company has so many business operations that having a

centralized stock ownership platform may not be a best way to incentivize

employees at each business segment level.

FAQ#16: What’s the company’s view on the possible merger between

Dongfang Electric and Harbin Electric?

In short, Shanghai Electric welcomes the merger and sees scope for market

share gain if the deal were to take place.

Shanghai Electric welcomes industry consolidation. The company believes

that, if the merger between Dongfang and Harbin materializes, Shanghai

Electric could be the key beneficiary, as the company believes that it would be

easier for two parties to reach consensus than for three parties. Moreover, if

the merger were to take place, Shanghai Electric is confident that it can

increase its market share to 50% from the current level of one-third.

Miscellaneous

FAQ#17: Why did the company decide not to pay a dividend in the past two

years?

According to CSRC regulation, dividend payout is not allowed when the listed

company is planning for equity placement. This was the case for Shanghai

Electric, as the company did back-to-back asset injections through A-share

placement over the past two years.

That said, dividend payout could be resumed once asset injection and A-share

placement finalize. However, the payout ratio will depend on its further capex

needs. Shanghai Electric’s stipulated dividend payout ratio is 20-30%.

FAQ#18: How does the company plan to manage and deploy its cash given its

strong cash position?

The company now holds Rmb30bn cash on hand. However, given SEC’s

holding structure, part of cash was held by its non-wholly-owned subsidiaries,

which SEC cannot use at will. Moreover, the cash balance also includes

prepayment from customers, which totaled Rmb43.6bn, and is deployed for

working capital.

FAQ#19: What exactly was the Rmb440m provision associated with AEN for?

Shanghai Electric had acquired AEN’s 40% equity stake in 2014. AEN

generated NP of EUR60m in 2016 (or share profits of EUR24m to Shanghai

Electric). However, stripping out the negative goodwill of EUR69.59m

generated from its acquisition of Alstom’s heavy-duty gas turbine business

(total consideration was less than net asset value), AEN was actually loss

making in 2016.

This has resulted in discrepancy between AEN’s actual financial results and

Shanghai Electric’s earnings estimates when it acquired AEN. To be

conservative, the company decided to book one-off provision for this, after

discussion with its auditors. Management noted that the disappointing

financial result for AEN was mainly driven by unexpected project delays in Iran.

FAQ#20: Why did the large forging business continue to generate losses after

the restructuring?

Following the restructuring of Shanghai Heavy Machinery, the company only

retained the large forging business while disposing the grinding equipment

businesses (back to its parent company). The transaction was completed in

August last year.

Those orders signed in the past were no longer on the new business entity’s

book, while new orders were relatively small last year. According to the

accounting standards, profit estimates for these new contracts for the new

business entity will be based on the pricing for historical orders, which has led

to the loss for almost all the new orders.

This, along with one-off restructuring costs, has led to a net loss of Rmb250m

in 2016 (vs. Rmb830m in 2015). However, with volume ramping up (especially

for nuclear power equipment), management expects profitability for this

business to recover gradually in the coming years.

Valuation and risks

P/B-based target price of HKD3.6 for H-shares and Rmb3.2 for A-shares; reiterating Hold on H-shares, Sell on A-shares

Incorporating the latest results and guidance, we lowered our earnings

estimates by 7% for 2017/18 and introduced our 2019 forecasts. We raised our

target price for H-shares to HKD3.6 (HKD3.5 previously) and our target price

for A-shares to Rmb3.2 (Rmb3.0 previously) as we slightly lift our target P/B to

0.90x (vs. 0.85x previously) to reflect the potential for ROE accretion from the

announced asset injections. Lacking earnings growth and trading at 1x BV

against c.5% ROE, valuation looks fair for H-shares (hence Hold) and rich for

A-shares (hence Sell).

Additional Information

The information and opinions in this report were prepared by Deutsche Bank AG or one of its affiliates (collectively

"Deutsche Bank"). Though the information herein is believed to be reliable and has been obtained from public sources

believed to be reliable, Deutsche Bank makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness.

If you use the services of Deutsche Bank in connection with a purchase or sale of a security that is discussed in this

report, or is included or discussed in another communication (oral or written) from a Deutsche Bank analyst, Deutsche

Bank may act as principal for its own account or as agent for another person.

Deutsche Bank may consider this report in deciding to trade as principal. It may also engage in transactions, for its own

account or with customers, in a manner inconsistent with the views taken in this research report. Others within

Deutsche Bank, including strategists, sales staff and other analysts, may take views that are inconsistent with those

taken in this research report. Deutsche Bank issues a variety of research products, including fundamental analysis,

equity-linked analysis, quantitative analysis and trade ideas. Recommendations contained in one type of communication

may differ from recommendations contained in others, whether as a result of differing time horizons, methodologies or

otherwise. Deutsche Bank and/or its affiliates may also be holding debt or equity securities of the issuers it writes on.

Analysts are paid in part based on the profitability of Deutsche Bank AG and its affiliates, which includes investment

banking, trading and principal trading revenues.

Opinions, estimates and projections constitute the current judgment of the author as of the date of this report. They do

not necessarily reflect the opinions of Deutsche Bank and are subject to change without notice. Deutsche Bank provides

liquidity for buyers and sellers of securities issued by the companies it covers. Deutsche Bank research analysts

sometimes have shorter-term trade ideas that are consistent or inconsistent with Deutsche Bank's existing longer term

ratings. Trade ideas for equities can be found at the SOLAR link at http://gm.db.com. A SOLAR idea represents a high

conviction belief by an analyst that a stock will outperform or underperform the market and/or sector delineated over a

time frame of no less than two weeks. In addition to SOLAR ideas, the analysts named in this report may from time to

time discuss with our clients, Deutsche Bank salespersons and Deutsche Bank traders, trading strategies or ideas that

reference catalysts or events that may have a near-term or medium-term impact on the market price of the securities

discussed in this report, which impact may be directionally counter to the analysts' current 12-month view of total return

or investment return as described herein. Deutsche Bank has no obligation to update, modify or amend this report or to

otherwise notify a recipient thereof if any opinion, forecast or estimate contained herein changes or subsequently

becomes inaccurate. Coverage and the frequency of changes in market conditions and in both general and company

specific economic prospects make it difficult to update research at defined intervals. Updates are at the sole discretion

of the coverage analyst concerned or of the Research Department Management and as such the majority of reports are

published at irregular intervals. This report is provided for informational purposes only and does not take into account

the particular investment objectives, financial situations, or needs of individual clients. It is not an offer or a solicitation

of an offer to buy or sell any financial instruments or to participate in any particular trading strategy. Target prices are

inherently imprecise and a product of the analyst’s judgment. The financial instruments discussed in this report may not

be suitable for all investors and investors must make their own informed investment decisions. Prices and availability of

financial instruments are subject to change without notice and investment transactions can lead to losses as a result of

price fluctuations and other factors. If a financial instrument is denominated in a currency other than an investor's

currency, a change in exchange rates may adversely affect the investment. Past performance is not necessarily

indicative of future results. Unless otherwise indicated, prices are current as of the end of the previous trading session,

and are sourced from local exchanges via Reuters, Bloomberg and other vendors. Data is sourced from Deutsche Bank,

subject companies, and in some cases, other parties.

our organizational arrangements and information barriers we have to prevent and avoid conflicts of interest with respect

to our research is available on our website under Disclaimer found on the Legal tab.

Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise

to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who is long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash

Page 20: China Shanghai Electricimg.zhitongcaijing.com/uploadfile/20170327/1490608631862453.pdf · China Industrials Manufacturing Industry Shanghai Electric Date 25 March 2017 ... (c.50%

flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a

loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the

loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse

macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation

(including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency

convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and

settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed

income instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to

FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in emerging markets. It is important to note that the

index fixings may -- by construction -- lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended

to track. The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon

rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is

also important to acknowledge that funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are

denominated carries FX risk. Naturally, options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to

the risks related to rates movements.

Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including, among others, market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk.

The appropriateness or otherwise of these products for use by investors is dependent on the investors' own

circumstances including their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and

liabilities, and as such, investors should take expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar

to or inspired by the contents of this publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can

be substantial. As a result of the high degree of leverage obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be

incurred that are greater than the amount of funds initially deposited. Trading in options involves risk and is not suitable

for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option investors must review the "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized

Options”, at http://www.optionsclearing.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp. If you are unable to access the

website please contact your Deutsche Bank representative for a copy of this important document.

Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including the following: ( i)

exchange rates can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; ( ii) the value of currencies may be affected by

numerous market factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity and

debt markets and changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government imposed

exchange controls which could affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are

affected by the currency of an underlying security, effectively assume currency risk.

Unless governing law provides otherwise, all transactions should be executed through the Deutsche Bank entity in the

investor's home jurisdiction. Aside from within this report, important conflict disclosures can also be found at

https://gm.db.com/equities under the "Disclosures Lookup" and "Legal" tabs. Investors are strongly encouraged to
