Europe - What to Watch

The Eurozone remains in recession as significant austerity measures crimp short-term growth prospects

Austerity causes social and political unrest, leading to potential leadership changes as voters seek change

Sovereigns and banks in the periphery continue to face bailouts amid credit downgrades (Spain, Cyprus)

The regulatory Impact from Basel III may hinder loan supply and as banks restructure under the new rules

While the region is better off than last year, the euro debt crisis is far from being resolved and will continue to create headline risk that leads to enhanced volatility

1st Quarter Investment Strategy and Outlook

Investment Strategy• Focus on highest quality issuers, maintaining high degree of liquidity• Maintain flexibility within portfolios amid market volatility stemming from the Eurozone and debt

ceiling negotiations– Limit eurozone exposure to national champions in core countries– Limit issuer maturity tenors and credits to reflect fundamental and macro risks

Outlook• Europe will remain a source of potential volatility

– Sovereign fiscal imbalances may lead to potential ECB actions– Potential for additional ratings actions

• US outlook improved but will continue to be tested– Federal Reserve’s open-ended bond purchases aimed to stimulate job market – Potential volatility to arise from sequester and debt ceiling negotiations

• Federal Reserve and European Central Bank are expected to maintain interest rates at extraordinarily low levels to encourage economic growth

– Supply dynamics could ease rates lower in the months ahead • Additional regulatory reform remains under consideration

– FSOC– SEC

18




Regulatory Reform Update


SEC Staff Recommendations Rejected, Now Revisited

Floating NAV• Which funds will be covered – Treasury / Gov't / Muni vs. General Purpose?• Could funds be allowed to use amortized cost accounting for some instruments?

Combination of Capital and Redemption Restrictions• Capital – size, structure or source not clear

– Size – expected at less than 50 bps with some asset types excluded– Structure – SEC likely to allow flexibility– Source – Shareholders, fund sponsor or outside investors

• Redemption restriction could take several forms– Holdback on all trades of 3% for 30 days– Minimum balance requirement

Combination of Capital, Liquidity Fees and Redemption Restrictions– Capital requirements– Liquidity fees– Temporary gates on redemption

FSOC RecommendationsComment Period Extended to February 15th

Alternative 1: Floating NAV• Which funds will be covered – Treasury / Gov't / Muni vs. General Purpose?• Could funds be allowed to use amortized cost accounting for some instruments?

Alternative 2: Stable NAV with capital and redemption restrictions• Capital – NAV buffer of 1%• Minimum balance at risk ( MBR)– Requirement to holdback 3% of a shareholder' s highest

account value in excess of $ 100, 000 during the previous 30 days

Alternative 3: Stable NAV with higher capital requirement and “other measures”

– NAV buffer of 3%– Other measures – higher diversification, increased liquidity, and/or more disclosure
