Understanding Index Requirement

4

• Why do we need an index?

• Represents the return to an investment strategy in an investment universe

• Can One Set of Indices Meet All Needs?

• No: Indices are used for a myriad of reasons and can be constructed according to varying needs.

• Global investors place different priorities on size, market coverage, stability and liquidity. One suite of indices cannot comprehensively and efficiently measure all of

these criteria without emphasizing one over the other.

• For an index to be most effective, it must not only differentiate between developed and emerging markets, but also take local market idiosyncrasies into consideration.

• Is There a Need to Differentiate Between Tradable and Benchmark Indices?

• Yes: Tradable and benchmark indices fulfill two very distinct needs.

• An index provider must acknowledge which need it is addressing in order to provide an accurate measure of the market:

• When constructing a benchmark index, comprehensiveness and transparency are key.

• When constructing a Tradable index, liquidity of the constituents is key.

Investment Strategy

• Growth – looking for the big winners; companies that traditionally have high growing

earnings – High growth equals high stock prices and in turn, high profits – Growth investing is usually considered more risky

This investment strategy offers risk reward ratios that are quite drastic. While the rewards can be very high in growth investing, the risks are high as well.

• Value – Stocks with expected higher intrinsic values than currently priced by the market. – Shares that are attractively priced, relative to the earnings or the internal value

of the company – or, in some cases, relative to the market. – Price of these companies will eventually rise to reflect the true value.

Many consider value investing safer than growth investing, since prices of value stocks tend to be less volatile

• Income

– Most conservative and easy to understand – Target companies that consistently pay high stock dividends – Looks for companies that tend to be large and well-established

Often known as defensive investing because it tends to protect the trader

– Classes of assets -Equity, bonds, Commodities, cash, etc – Conservative: Capital Preservation, Heavy allocation to fixed return assets

– Moderate : Protecting current assets along with achieving long term investment growth

– Aggressive : Maximise potential returns at a higher risk

– Strategic An asset mix providing the optimal balance between expected risk and return for a long-term investment horizon. Some exposure to equity and then offset it with a certain percentage fixed income that‟s suitable as per the age or risk tolerance

– Tactical Try to ride the tide and buy into asset classes that are on the move. Riskier as it takes an active approach and not well suited for long term investments.

– Core and Satellite A hybrid of both the strategic and tactical allocations. Made of two components

– A core holding of stocks, bonds, or index funds making up anywhere from 50-80% of your total portfolio.

– Satellite allocation which may implement more of a tactical approach which allows to still scope out opportunities in the market

– Geographic

Exchange Traded Funds

December 2012

Introduction to Exchange Traded Fund

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a mutual fund traded on stock exchanges, much like stocks. An

ETF holds assets such as stocks, commodities, or bonds, and endeavours to trade close to its net asset

value over the course of the trading day. Most ETFs track an index, such as a stock index or bond index.

ETFs may be attractive as investments because of their low costs, tax efficiency, and stock-like features.

Index tracking – a long term winner for investments

It has been proved that it is not possible to consistently outperform the overall stock market

Index tracking is a relatively cost effective strategy to implement

Indices are dynamic, transparent and have high investor recall

Eliminates the risk of individual stocks, sectors, individual fund manager etc. i.e. all „unsystemic risks‟ only

the „systemic‟ or market risk remains which is common to all equity investments

either up or down, VIP may generate less return compared to SIP. • If the NAV of the Goldman Sachs S&P CNX 500 Fund continuously decreases, the absolute

loss to the investor would be more than what the investor would have incurred by investing in SIP.

expenses which would reduce returns. Investors cannot invest directly in indices.

The indices referenced herein have been selected because they are well known, easily recognized by investors, and reflect those indices that the Investment Manager

believes, in part based on industry practice, provide a suitable benchmark against which to evaluate the investment or broader market described herein. The exclusion of

“failed” or closed hedge funds may mean that each index overstates the performance of hedge funds generally.
