Why is High Yield still an opportunity?

One of a few assets offering positive real yield in a low growth world:

• Monetary policy and regulation combining to suppress real yields of higher rated government and

corporate bonds

• Central banks providing liquidity on an unprecedented scale

• High real yielding assets will remain in demand whilst this supportive backdrop remains

Macro environment remains supportive of High Yield:

• Historically a low growth economic backdrop has been positive for High Yield returns

• Company management remain conservative when faced with an uncertain economic outlook

• Sound credit fundamentals and easy access to liquidity should combine to keep default rates low

Portfolio Characteristics

Guidelines for our High Yield portfolios

• Portfolios well-diversified at issuer and industry levels

– Typically hold up to 125 issues

– Single-name exposures generally limited to 2%

– Industry sectors generally limited to 3x the index weight for sectors < 5% of the index and 2x the

index weight for sectors > 5% of the index, subject to a maximum of 25%

– Cash holdings typically 0-5% (generally to accommodate flows)

• Returns expected to depend heavily on our fundamental credit analysis

– 80-85% of portfolio return typically from bottom-up security selection

– 15-20% typically from top-down sector allocation

• Sector rotation generally takes place as our view of the economic cycle changes

• Annual portfolio turnover expected to be typically 35-40%

• Focus on middle market credits, with $200 million to $1 billion of total debt outstanding

– 15-20% typically invested in the top 100 largest high yield issuers

– 80-85% of the portfolio typically invested in middle market issuers

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The statements above represent how the portfolio management team generally implements its investment process under normal market conditions.

9 Page


Middle Market High Yield

Typically, middle market issues will provide:

• Superior yields

• Higher coupons

• Shorter maturities

• Lower volatility

• Default rates in line with broader market

The higher coupons and shorter

maturities of middle market issuers

typically translate into lower duration,

which we view as attractive during

the current period of macro risk and

rate volatility

During a typical sell-off, the hard-to-

find nature of smaller middle market

deals usually makes them less likely

to be sold

Middle market issuers have

outperformed the broader market

with lower volatility and made

portfolios risk / return profiles more

attractive

Current High Yield Bond Strategy (March 2013)1

Current Themes

• Focus on B-rated issuers

• Identifying winners and avoiding losers is key to outperformance

• Underweight issuers with a large percentage of European-related business

• Target industrials with pricing power and ability to pass through raw material inflation. See risks to margins.

• Overweight quality middle market issuers that offer a yield advantage over the largest high yield issuers

• Event risk often positive to High Yield, e.g. re-equitization: IPO / shareholder contributions / asset sales

• M&A: potential to be bought by cash-rich IG companies

Sector Choice

• Overweights: Packaging,, Aerospace, Building Materials, Gaming, Cyclical Consumer Services, Consumer Products, Food and Beverage Transportation Services

• Underweights: Metals and Mining, Paper, Media, Wirelines, Airlines, Home Construction, Energy, Utilities,

Good Fundamentals Dependent on Eurozone

• Slow global economic recovery; economic data plateaus

• Eurozone will still dominate headlines

• China growth important to global demand, but moderating

• Monetary policy easy; fiscal policies tighter

• 4Q12 Earnings mixed

• Default rates low, expected to remain low in 2013

Forward Indicators Mixed

• Global Confidence indicators diverging

• Austerity plans a likely drag on growth in Europe • Bank deleveraging to impact growth

• Moderate US GDP growth of around +2% for 2013

• Continued high unemployment, improving housing market

• China slowdown, global growth implications

Technicals Still Positive

• Demand for credit strong; net new corporate supply moderate

• Dealer balance sheets significantly reduced

• Price moves exaggerated by thin trading

Valuation Remains Attractive

• Spreads still attractive on a leverage-adjusted basis

• Implied default rates much higher than actual defaults

Positive Real Yielding Assets Stand to Benefit

From Unconventional Policy Easing

Aligning Investments with Policy: Buying Assets with Positive Real Yields

Both the Fed and ECB are

committed to unconventional

easing in unlimited size and with

no expiration date. This has the

effect of reflating asset prices

and reducing risk premiums.

Asset reflation is the

transmission mechanism for

unconventional policy easing

which will have the effect of

pushing real yields lower.

As a result, assets with positive

real yields stand to benefit.

Note: Real yields as the nominal yield of the asset less longer-term inflation implied by the 5y breakeven

market rates. Dividend yields are viewed as real because inflation is already netted out.

Risk Disclosure

Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. The value of the investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and an investor may not get back the amount invested. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

Investments may be in a variety of currencies and therefore changes in rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to decrease or increase. Furthermore, the value of investments may be adversely affected by fluctuations in exchange rates between the investor’s reference currency and the base currency of the investments.

For investments in emerging markets, the volatility and risk to your capital may be greater due to potential price volatility, political and/or economic risks. Debt securities may not be rated by a recognized rating agency.

High yield fixed income securities are considered speculative, involve greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than investment grade fixed income securities. Securities of small capitalization companies: these securities involve greater risk and the markets for such securities may be more volatile and less liquid.

Funds that specialize in a particular region or market sector are more risky than those which hold a very broad spread of investments. Where portfolio concentration is in one sector it is subject to greater risk and volatility than other portfolios that are more diversified and the value of its shares may be more substantially affected by economic events in the real estate industry.

Investments in derivative instruments carry certain inherent risks such as the risk of counter party default and before investing you should ensure you fully understand these risks. Use of leverage may also magnify losses as well as gains to the extent that leverage is employed.

These investments are designed for investors who understand and are willing to accept these risks. Performance may be volatile, and an investor could lose all or a substantial portion of his or her investment.
