Global Investment Committee (GIC) Views

Opinions expressed herein may differ from the opinions expressed by other businesses or affiliates of Citigroup, Inc., and are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results for investment advice, and are subject to change based on market and other conditions.

Top 3 overweights

US large cap equity +3.0%

Europe (ex UK) large cap equity +1.9%

Emerging Asia equity +1.5%

Top 3 underweights

Japan sovereign bonds –2.6%

Europe (ex UK) sovereign bonds –1.3%

US sovereign bonds –1.0%

Meeting right before the US Federal Reserve’s policy update on September 17th and the Scottish independence vote on September 18th, the Citi Private Bank Global Investment Committee (GIC) reiterated its existing asset allocation, staying moderately overweight in global equities and comparably underweight in fixed income.

The GIC awaited the binary outcome of the Scottish referendum in judging the impact on UK and wider European assets. The vote to remain in union subsequently bolstered UK markets and benefitted GIC positioning. Beyond these near-term events, elections in Brazil and Ukraine, as well as European bank stress-tests loom over the markets in the coming month.

Since the last GIC meeting in August, government bond yields have risen, largely driven by the view that the Fed would raise interest rates sooner than previously expected. While this benefited the GIC’s underweight positions in high-grade bonds, the committee doubted the Fed would make the timing of eventual rate-hikes significantly clearer. The FOMC statement and press conference also largely confirmed that view. Importantly, more than half of central banks around the world seem set to be easing policy as they enter 2015. While US policy rates are clearly the most influential single-country driver of global yields, easing across much of the world is still likely to limit the upward pressure going forward, even on US yields.

Beyond near-term speculation over the Fed’s message, monetary-policy divergence appears poised to favor US dollar assets heading into 2015. With US long-term inflation-adjusted bond yields nearly one percentage point higher than Germany’s, global flows are likely to be drawn towards US equities and other risky assets, barring a highly localized disruption to the US economy, which is unlikely. Valuations still favor equities over fixed income, and especially so outside the US However, US dollar strength may undermine emerging-market assets that are most sensitive to dollar savings flows and funding costs, as happened in 2013.

Historically, US rate-hiking cycles have had a fairly benign impact on most asset markets when economic recoveries were not threatened. While we see no threat to the US and global recovery from the Fed’s likely hikes in 2015, the risk of unusual outcomes seems higher this time round. For the first time, the Fed would be shifting from quantitative easing to rate-hikes rather than from rate-cuts to rate-hikes. Central-bank influences on asset prices – particularly on rates and credit markets - have been much deeper than in other periods. The US economic recovery also seems more advanced than many acknowledge.

With these risks in mind, the committee continues to see the best opportunities over the next 12-18 months in risky assets, but is more cautious looking further out.

Note: Allocations are as of GIC meeting September 17, 2014.

Asset class Tactical positioning

Investment rationale Underweight Neutral Overweight

North American large cap equity

Our expectation for high single digit US earnings per share growth this year and next, low interest rates and rapidly growing dividends leaves us expecting further US market gains

Core European large cap equity1

Falling sovereign credit risk pricing in Europe, coupled with periphery share markets that remain well below levels of 2007 suggest a greater opportunity for “catch up” gains in Europe. If political tensions surrounding Ukraine do not escalate, the recent improvements in European credit markets and forward-looking indicators of growth suggest a resumption of the European equity rally

Japan large cap equity We maintain our modest overweight to the strategic benchmark. While we expect the radical course of monetary easing in Japan to ultimately win out over fiscal tightening, the dual and conflicting fiscal and monetary policy in Japan bears close monitoring, particularly as tightening may be repeated in 2015

Emerging market equity Emerging Markets (EM) equities have modestly outperformed developed market shares year to date. North Asian markets still continue to be our favorite region within EM

Emerging Asia With US and European growth likely to accelerate in coming quarters, we maintain our overweights to export-oriented surplus countries (China, Taiwan and Korea) trading at low valuations

EU periphery large cap equity2

We maintain our overweight positions in Spain and Italy. We expect the depressed equity markets in the periphery to benefit the most from large declines in sovereign bond yields and ECB easing steps ahead

Asia ex Japan large cap equity3

With a more neutral view of commodities prices, we keep our single underweight to Australia relative to the strategic benchmark, raised earlier this year

Emerging EMEA We remain at a slight underweight on Emerging EMEA shares, with all of the underweight allocation coming from Turkey. The weakness in EM with external deficits could be a rising risk in EMEA going forward even as these markets have performed well this year

Emerging Latin America

As policy changes have improved Mexico’s outlook, we remain bullish on Mexico equity shares. Due to interest rate concerns, worries over external savings requirements and long-term commodity price trends, the GIC has maintained its underweight position in Brazil, though sovereign debt returns have improved as yields have risen. Notably, national election results present binary possibilities for Brazil

Developed small and mid cap equity

European equities have underperformed the US stock market since 2007. We think this offers some opportunity in Europe (ex UK) small and mid cap (Smid) equities. We maintain a neutral position on U.S. SMID as large caps offer better value

Asset class Tactical positioning

Investment rationale Underweight Neutral Overweight

Developed market core sovereign bonds (DM)1

Yields to remain low near term, but we are defensive on duration as higher rates are expected. German Bund yields have fallen to record lows compared to the US, and this seems to be exerting downward pressure on US yields and upward pressure on the US dollar

EU periphery sovereign bonds2

Higher near-term volatility as geopolitical events fuel risk aversion. Growth and banking concerns persist, but have improved. Financial conditions to remain resilient and further spread compression likely, particularly if the ECB broadens QE.

Emerging market (EM) sovereign bonds

Valuations fully-valued relative to largely unchanged fundamentals. Gains likely to hold near term given excess liquidity provided by major central banks. However, FX-related concern may challenge local currency bonds

Global Inflation-linked Low real yields and only modest inflation pressures limit prospective returns. We maintain an underweight to US TIPS

Supranationals/ agencies

Proposed GSE legislation in the US is unlikely to aversely effect bondholders. Spreads are likely to remain tight. We favor this sector over Treasuries

Securitized fixed income We recommend an underweight given our expectations for rising government rates, which heightens extension risks and negatively impacts performance. US agency MBS is also vulnerable as the Federal Reserve continues to taper asset purchases this year

Corporate investment grade

Direction of rates key to performance. Favor financials over non-financials. Despite some balance sheet releveraging, we prefer to hold corporates in conjunction with our underweight in sovereigns to express a moderate underweight to fixed income overall.

Corporate high yield Remain constructive, although returns are likely to be modest going forward. Carry (not spreads) likely to drive future performance. We maintain our overweight conviction to European and US HY issuers

GIC Asset Class Views: Fixed Income

Hedge Funds Over the last twelve months, the “Long-Short” and “Event Driven” funds have performed well, while Macro and CTA managers have lagged due to low levels of interest rates and low overall volatility.

Commodities

We hold no “long-only” index exposures given a mixed, asynchronous outlook. We are warming to equity exposures for select commodity countries, having made some earlier, upward adjustments.

Structural Risks to GIC Positioning

US momentum fades Europe falls back Dollar falls, EM Surges

Risk

• Positive economic momentum begins to fade and US loses cyclical leadership

• Earnings fall as top line growth shrinks and margins compress

• European policy cohesion frays

• Sovereign debt and banking sectors weaken

• Russian energy supplies to Europe are severely disrupted

• Oil prices surge as incremental U.S. supplies are insufficient for world markets. The dollar begins a new weakening trend undermining U.S. assets

Likely impact on asset markets

• US stocks fall • Spreads widen • Treasuries rally

• European equity shares drop

• Broader risk markets weaken in sympathy

• US dollar falls • US shares underperform • Commodities surge • EM commodity-related

assets outperform

2. 2014 Global Investment Themes

14

2014 Investment Themes Our investment themes for 2014 reflect four core principles

All forecasts are expressions of opinion, are not a guarantee of future results, are subject to change without notice and may not meet our expectations due to a variety of economic, market and other factors. This information does not constitute, and should not be construed as, investment advice or recommendations with respect to asset classes, portfolio allocations or investments. Not all investments are suitable for all investors, nor available to investors in each jurisdiction.

Shifting Growth Opportunities We favor Developed Markets (DM) over Emerging Markets (EM) generally, and identify equity opportunities in select EMs with external surpluses and low valuations

The Liquidity Trade Off In their search for yield, investors should consider raising exposures to less liquid investments that may have stronger return prospects

Hedging Portfolio Risk Given relatively low market volatility and the correspondingly cheap cost of hedging instruments, now is the right time to consider hedging investment portfolios Harnessing Global Change As the world is transitioning from a severe crisis, we see a number of structural changes in the economic and financial landscape

Glossary ADXY Index is a spot index of emerging Asia's most actively traded currency pairs valued against the US dollar. Asia Pacific ex Japan equities are measured against the MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan Large Cap Index, which is free-float adjusted and weighted by market capitalization. The index is designed to measure the performance of large cap stocks in Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Singapore. Barclay CTA Index is a leading industry benchmark of representative performance of commodity trading advisors. There are currently 565 programs included in the calculation of the Barclay CTA Index for the year 2011, which is unweighted and rebalanced at the beginning of each year. Cash is measured against the three-month LIBOR, which is the interest rate that banks charge each other in the international inter-bank market for three-month loans (usually denominated in Eurodollars). CBOE Volatility Index® (VIX®) is a key measure of market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index option prices. Citigroup GRAMI (Global Risk Aversion Macro Index) measures risk aversion across asset classes. It is an equally weighted index of developed and emerging market sovereign spreads, US credit spreads, TED spread and implied FX, equity and swap volatility. GRAMI is shown as standard deviations from the mean. Citigroup USBIG Corporate, 7–10 year Index consists of publicly issued, non-convertible corporate bonds rated Aa or Aaa that have at least $2.5 million par value outstanding. It is a value-weighted, total return index, that includes approximately 800 issues with maturities of 7–10 years. Commodities are measured against the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index, which is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities traded on exchanges, with the exception of aluminum, nickel and zinc, which trade on the London Metal Exchange (LME). The major commodity sectors are represented, including energy, petroleum, precious metals, industrial metals, grains, livestock, softs, agriculture and ex. energy. Corporate high yield is measured against the Citigroup US High Yield Market Index, which includes all issues rated between CCC and BB+. The minimum issue size is $50 million. All issues are individually trader priced monthly. Corporate investment grade is measured against the Citi World Broad Investment Grade Index (WBIG) – Corporate, a subsector of the WBIG. This index includes fixed rate global investment grade corporate debt within the finance, industrial and utility sectors, denominated in the domestic currency. The index is rebalanced monthly. Developed market large cap equities are measured against the MSCI World Large Cap Index. This is a free-float adjusted, market-capitalization weighted index designed to measure the equity market performance of the large cap stocks in 23 developed markets. Large cap is defined as stocks representing roughly 70% of each market’s capitalization. Developed market small and mid cap equities are measured against the MSCI World Small Cap Index, a capitalization-weighted index that measures small cap stock performance in 23 developed equity markets. Developed sovereign is measured against the Citi World Government Bond Index (WGBI), which consists of the major global investment grade government bond markets and is composed of sovereign debt, denominated in the domestic currency. To join the WGBI, the market must satisfy size, credit and barriers-to-entry requirements. In order to ensure that the WGBI remains an investment grade benchmark, a minimum credit quality of BBB–/Baa3 by either S&P or Moody's is imposed. The index is rebalanced monthly. Emerging markets equities are measured against the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which is free-float adjusted and weighted by market capitalization. The index is designed to measure equity market performance of 22 emerging markets. Emerging sovereign is measured against the Citi Emerging Market Sovereign Bond Index (ESBI). This index includes Brady bonds and US dollar-denominated emerging market sovereign debt issued in the global, Yankee and Eurodollar markets, excluding loans. It is composed of debt in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. We classify an emerging market as a sovereign with a maximum foreign debt rating of BBB+/Baa1 by S&P or Moody's. Defaulted issues are excluded.

Fund must have at least $50 million under management or have been actively trading for at least 12 months. HFRI Event-Driven (Total) Index: event driven is also known as ‘corporate life cycle’ investing. This involves investing in opportunities created by significant transactional events, such as spin-offs, mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy reorganizations, recapitalizations and share buybacks. Returns for HFRI indices are to be considered estimated returns for the previous stated quarter as HFRI may revise index data from time to time, as necessary. Generally final index returns are made available by HFRI four months after a particular month end. Japan equities are measured against the MSCI Japan Large Cap Index. A free-float-adjusted market-capitalization-weighted index designed to measure large-cap stock performance in Japan.

This document is for informational purposes only and the views expressed in this document by the Global Investment Committee. Bonds are affected by a number of risks, including fluctuations in interest rates, credit risk and prepayment risk. In general, as prevailing interest rates rise, fixed income securities prices will fall. Bonds face credit risk if a decline in an issuer’s credit rating, or creditworthiness, causes a bond’s price to decline. High yield bonds are subject to additional risks such as increased risk of default and greater volatility because of the lower credit quality of the issues. Finally, bonds can be subject to prepayment risk. When interest rates fall, an issuer may choose to borrow money at a lower interest rate, while paying off its previously issued bonds. As a consequence, underlying bonds will lose the interest payments from the investment and will be forced to reinvest in a market where prevailing interest rates are lower than when the initial investment was made. Alternative investments referenced in this report are speculative and entail significant risks that can include losses due to leveraging or other speculative investment practices, lack of liquidity, volatility of returns, restrictions on transferring interests in the fund, potential lack of diversification, absence of information regarding valuations and pricing, complex tax structures and delays in tax reporting, less regulation and higher fees than mutual funds and advisor risk. Asset allocation does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in declining financial markets. Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), which include collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), also referred to as real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”), may not be suitable for all investors. There is the possibility of early return of principal due to mortgage prepayments, which can reduce expected yield and result in reinvestment risk. Conversely, return of principal may be slower than initial prepayment speed assumptions, extending the average life of the security up to its listed maturity date (also referred to as extension risk). Additionally, the underlying collateral supporting non-Agency MBS may default on principal and interest payments. In certain cases, this could cause the income stream of the security to decline and result in loss of principal. Further, an insufficient level of credit support may result in a downgrade of a mortgage bond's credit rating and lead to a higher probability of principal loss and increased price volatility. Investments in subordinated MBS involve greater credit risk of default than the senior classes of the same issue. Default risk may be pronounced in cases where the MBS security is secured by, or evidencing an interest in, a relatively small or less diverse pool of underlying mortgage loans.

21

Important Information MBS are also sensitive to interest rate changes which can negatively impact the market value of the security. During times of heightened volatility, MBS can experience greater levels of illiquidity and larger price movements. Price volatility may also occur from other factors including, but not limited to, prepayments, future prepayment expectations, credit concerns, underlying collateral performance and technical changes in the market. The indexes are unmanaged. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. They are shown for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the performance of any specific investment. Index returns do not include any expenses, fees or sales charges, which would lower performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. International investing entails greater risk, as well as greater potential rewards compared to US investing. These risks include political and economic uncertainties of foreign countries as well as the risk of currency fluctuations. These risks are magnified in countries with emerging markets, since these countries may have relatively unstable governments and less established markets and economics. Investing in smaller companies involves greater risks not associated with investing in more established companies, such as business risk, significant stock price fluctuations and illiquidity. Factors affecting commodities generally, index components composed of futures contracts on nickel or copper, which are industrial metals, may be subject to a number of additional factors specific to industrial metals that might cause price volatility. These include changes in the level of industrial activity using industrial metals (including the availability of substitutes such as man-made or synthetic substitutes); disruptions in the supply chain, from mining to storage to smelting or refining; adjustments to inventory; variations in production costs, including storage, labor and energy costs; costs associated with regulatory compliance, including environmental regulations; and changes in industrial, government and consumer demand, both in individual consuming nations and internationally. Index components concentrated in futures contracts on agricultural products, including grains, may be subject to a number of additional factors specific to agricultural products that might cause price volatility. These include weather conditions, including floods, drought and freezing conditions; changes in government policies; planting decisions; and changes in demand for agricultural products, both with end users and as inputs into various industries The information contained herein is not intended to be an exhaustive discussion of the strategies or concepts mentioned herein or tax or legal advice.
