Choosing an ETF

Source EURO STOXX Optimised Banks UCITS ETF

Performance data from 31 August 2014 to 31 August 2015. Tracking difference is the proportional difference between the ETF and the benchmark index performance. Spread is the average between 1 and 24 September 2015 on the LSE. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Insert chart here

· Performance- Does the ETF deliver the expected

performance i.e. index performance less fees· Tracking

- Does the ETF track the index accurately?· Transparency

- Can I see what assets the ETF holds?· Trading costs

- Bid / offer spread- Any broker commissions

Common approaches to index replication

Physical Synthetic (physical with swap overlay) Synthetic (swap-based with collateral)

How it works

• The ETF owns the constituents of the benchmark index

• It may lend out some constituents (stock lending)

• It may own only a sample of the index constituents (optimisation)

• The ETF owns a portfolio of listed securities, not necessarily from benchmark index

• The ETF contracts with a counterparty, who agrees to pay any difference between portfolio performance and index performance (unfunded swap contract)

• The ETF exchanges investment proceeds for index performance (funded swap contract)

• To reduce counterparty exposure, swap counterparty pledges collateral, held in a segregated account

Pros • Stock lending may enhance returns• Optimisation may reduce operational

costs

• Accurate index tracking • Accurate index tracking

Cons • High operational costs (dividend reinvestment, rebalancing)

• Stock lending introduces counterparty risk• Optimisation may cause tracking error

• Use of swaps introduces counterparty risk (see overleaf)

• ETF does not own securities• Use of swaps introduces counterparty risk

Important information

Investors in Source products should note that the price of your investment may go down as well as up. As a result you may not get back the amount of capital you invest.

Investors in Source products should note that the price of your investment may go down as well as up. As a result, you may not get back the amount of capital you invest. This factsheet is intended for individuals who are familiar with investment terminology. Please contact your financial adviser if you need an explanation of the terms used. This factsheet is not for distribution to, or for the attention of, US or Canadian persons. When making an investment decision, you should rely solely on the KIID and prospectus, which can be downloaded at www.SourceETF.com . Other languages are available. The investment policy is set out in the prospectus supplement. Without limitation, this factsheet does not constitute an offer or a recommendation to enter into any transaction.

Investment strategies involve numerous risks. Investors should consult their own business, tax, legal and accounting advisors with respect to this proposed transaction and they should refrain from entering into a transaction with us unless they have fully understood the associated risks and have independently determined that the transaction is appropriate for them. In no way should Source UK Services Limited be deemed to be holding itself out as a financial adviser or a fiduciary.

Source ETFs are issued by Source Markets plc, an Irish domiciled company with limited liability regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. The ETFs entitle the holder to receive a return linked to the performance of the benchmark index. Investors are therefore at risk that the level of the index may cause any amounts payable under the product to be less than the amount paid for the ETFs. The historical level of the index should not be taken as an indication of the index’s future performance during the term of the ETFs. Investment risks from market and currency losses as well as high volatility and concentration risk cannot be excluded. The performance of the ETF may differ from the performance of the index.

“Active / Passive Debate”

“Passive cash flows surge”

"The best way in my view

is to just buy a low-cost

index fund and keep buying it regularly over

time, because you'll be buying into a wonderful

industry…...People ought

to sit back and relax and

keep accumulating over

time.” - Warren

Buffett, Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway

"The long-term

data repeated

ly

document that

investors woul

d

benefit by swi

tching from

active perform

ance investing

to

low-cost index

ing."

- Charles Ellis, Ph.D.

Unless an investor has access to

‘incredibly high-qualified

professionals’, they should be 100

percent passive - that includes

almost all individual investors and

most institutional investors."

- David Swensen, chief investment officer, Yale

University Endowment Fund

“Vanguard becomes largest mutual fund family”(Globally)

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Source: Vanguard calculations, using data from calculations using Morningstar, Inc.Notes: All mutual funds in each Morningstar category were ranked by their expense ratios as of 31 December 2014. They were then divided into four equal groups, from the lowest-cost to the highest-cost funds. The chart shows the ten-year annualised returns for the median funds in the lowest cost and highest cost quartiles. Returns are in sterling terms with income reinvested, net of expenses, excluding loads and taxes. Both actively managed and indexed funds are included. For funds with both income and accumulation share classes, we use only accumulation share classes to avoid double counting.

Myths and misconceptions of indexing

“Active works best in inefficient markets”- Relative performance often weaker as a result of higher costs

“Active can outperform in bull/bear markets”- Timing market cycles is difficult and no evidence to support

“Returns matter more than costs”- Costs reduce returns pound for pound

“I don’t invest in average funds”- Little performance persistence makes selection difficult

“Active managers can better manage risks in a portfolio”- Active funds tend to have higher volatility

Indexing can permit greater control of asset class risks in a portfolio• Using a concentrated active fund can lead to a portfolio with risk and return characteristics

differing from the equity market

Greater diversification• Actively managed funds tend to hold fewer securities with varying degrees of return correlation

Portfolio consistency• An index fund should maintain its style consistency by closely tracking the characteristics of

the index and market

Indexing offers additional benefits in portfolio construction

• The key currencies, Japanese yen (JPY) and Euro (EUR), have significantly fallen in value against the British pound (GBP) over the last 5 years. Only the Swiss Franc (CHF) and the US dollar yielded marginally positive performances against the GBP over this period.

• Clients with home currency GBP and foreign equity, benefit from currency hedging when foreign currencies are getting weaker.

Numerical example – Eurozone equities Impact of currency hedging on portfolio returns: MSCI EMU (Sep. '10 – Sep. '15)

Performance of MSCI EMU Indices and the EURGBP exchange rate

· Currency fluctuations have a major impact on the investment returns, due to currency volatility (weakening EUR due to ECB monetary stimulus - > asset purchase program running over Mar. '15 to Sep. 16')

· The MSCI EMU unhedged GBP has delivered an annualized return of 3.45% compared to an annual return of 6.38% for the MSCI EMU in its base currency (EUR).

· If the MSCI EMU GBP hedged exposure had been chosen the annual return would have been 6.72%.· The hedge ratio (kept constant intra-month) of the currency hedge as well as interest rate differential (cost of

currency hedge) can have a negative or positive impact on the performance -> positive in case of EURGBP in the last few years Source: Bloomberg, data as of 25/09/2015. Performance based on the period: 28/09/2010– 25/09/2015

Operational framework – monthly hedging process

Hedge frequency driven by trade-off between tracking error and trading costs

Annualized Tracking ErrorCurrency hedging accuracy is defined by….i. the frequency a profit or loss resulted of a currency hedge

transaction is rolled and,ii. the ratio between the Hedge Nominal on t-1 and the

Total Net Assets of the foreign currency portfolio on t

𝐻𝑒𝑑𝑔𝑒 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑡 = 𝐻𝑒𝑑𝑔𝑒 𝑁𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑓𝑐,𝑡−1 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠𝑓𝑐,𝑡

Hedge Ratiot: proportion of Hedge Nominal on t-1 and the Total Net Assets on tHedge Nominalfc,t-1: the amount in foreign currency sold forward on t-1Total Net Assetsfc,t: the total net assets in foreign currency on tt: the current business dayt-1: last business day of the previous month (hedge frequency = monthly), previous business day ( hedge frequency = daily)fc: foreign currency is the local currency of the portfolio

Trade-off between Hedge Frequency and Tracking Error / Trading Costs • The Hedge Ratio is defined as the nominal amount

to be hedged relative to the ETF's asset under management

• Predefined (by index provider) hedging methodology decides about the ETFs' hedging quality

• The higher the hedge frequency and the closer the hedge ratio to 100%, the lower the Tracking Error

• The higher the hedge frequency, the higher the turnover and hence the higher portfolio trading costs

UBS ETFs – currency hedging methodology

UBS ETF hedge the foreign currencies of the standard indices in the selected home currency by selling each foreign currency forward at the one-month forward rate. The sum of the sold forwards as at the last trading day of the month corresponds to the market capitalization weighting of the securities contained in the standard index.These are valued in both of the respective currencies two trading days before the first calendar day of the following month. The hedged value remains constant over the entire month.

Currency hedging methodology of UBS ETF

• The securities contained in the index are valued.

• Foreign currency forwards are sold at the one-month forward rate.

• Hedged amount remains constant over the entire month.

Impact on currency hedged ETF performancePerformance is impacted by direct and indirect costs

Direct costs

A reliable estimate of cost in advance for the currency hedge is almost impossible.

Indirect costs

• Higher TER¹ due to currency hedging management (physical replication)

• Spread on currency forwards

• These costs deteriorate the performance

Description Performance impact

• Potential inaccuracy of the currency hedge, due to intra-monthly changes of the underlying (e.g. unhedged equity index)- Over- / underinvestment in

equities- Over- / underhedge, due to

market volatility

• Positive or negative effect on performance (example of a positive effect: The underlying index is decreasing while gaining a positive return out of the currency hedge at the same time)

¹Higher drag-level for swap based ETFs (synthetic replication). Currency hedging management costs and spread for currency forwards are included in the drag-level.

UBS ETFs investing in equitiesUBS Exchange Traded Funds invest in equities and may therefore be subject to high fluctuations in value. For this reason, an investment horizon of at least five years and corresponding risk tolerance and capacity are required. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. Every fund has specific risks, which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions. The fund’s assets are passively managed. As a result, the net asset value of the fund’s assets is directly dependent on the performance of the underlying equities. Losses that could be avoided via active management will not be offset.UBS ETFs investing in Real Estate FundsThe funds invest in real estate funds under Swiss law that are denominated in CHF and invest exclusively in Swiss properties. The price of the underlying fund units is not determined by estimates of market value but by investor supply and demand. All investments are subject to market fluctuations.

Defining and using smart betaDr Christopher Mellor, CFA30 September 2015

Page 88: 05112015 Presentation 2

88

What is smart beta?

· Between alpha and beta (Towers Watson)· The middle of the passive-to-active spectrum (Morningstar)· Investment strategies based on one or more of the five equity factors (SSGA)· Indices that are not weighted by market capitalisation (Russell)

It depends who you talk to…

“Terrible name, interesting trend”

The Economist, July 2013

Page 89: 05112015 Presentation 2

What is smart beta?

There are many names for essentially the same thing

· Smart beta

· Strategic beta

· Enhanced beta

· Smart passive

· Non-market-cap indices

· Advanced beta

· Beta plus

· Enhanced indices

· Factor-based indices

· Alternative beta

· Non-traditional indices

· Alternative beta

· Alternatively-weighted indices

· Engineered beta

· Second generation indices

Page 90: 05112015 Presentation 2

90

Back to basics: what is beta?· “Buying the market”· Passive, long-only exposure to a particular market segment· Market cap weighted indices· Some examples:

‒ FTSE 100, S&P 500, SMI, MSCI World, MSCI Emerging Markets, FTSE China A50

· Pros and cons:

‒ Market cap weighted indices are good at measuring market performance

‒ Used to benchmark

‒ But market cap weighted indices overweight overpriced stocks and underweight undervalued stocks when markets are extended (e.g. Tech was 25% of S&P 500 in 1999)

Page 91: 05112015 Presentation 2

91

Deviating from the benchmark

· Filtering, e.g. selecting only stocks with high dividend yield

‒ Note that standard beta indices apply simple filtering (e.g. by size, country of listing, etc.)· Alternative weighting, e.g. weighting a bond portfolio by GDP rather than market cap· or a combination of both

· Can be done on a discretionary basis (human intervention) = Active Management· Can be done on a systematic basis (rules based indices) = Smart Beta

There are two ways that you can move away from benchmark

However you define it, smart beta assets are growing

Assets in global “strategic beta” ETPs

Data: Morningstar database, Feb 2015

· Morningstar data suggests US$ 418 bn in “strategic beta” ETPs globally (16% of ETP assets)

· Deutsche Bank estimates US$ 410 bn in “enhanced beta” ETFs (25% of equity ETFs)

· But still only around 1.3% of global fund assets

Smart beta in a portfolio

Page 96: 05112015 Presentation 2

96

What does smart beta mean for investors?

· More choice of market-type exposure

‒ Existing exposure can be “sliced and diced” in more precise ways

· More control over risk and reward

‒ Portfolios can be tweaked to express different views e.g. lower risk, value

· More opportunity to outperform or underperform

Understanding how to select and combine products is key

Page 97: 05112015 Presentation 2

97

Products are typically “tools” or “strategies”

· Allow investors to isolate a particular factor / risk premium / theme

· Often single factor products· Don’t specifically target outperformance· May be used short-term / tactically· More likely to be “satellite” products· Examples include STOXX International

Exposure indices and MSCI Europe Value

· Designed to replace traditional beta exposure· Typically broad and diversified· Often multi-factor or multi-asset · May specifically target outperformance or

better risk-adjusted returns· Likely to be “core” products· Examples include fundamental indices and

multi-factor strategies (GS EFI)

Tools Strategies

Can I use it to generate outperformance in my portfolio? Does it outperform?

Page 98: 05112015 Presentation 2

98

Conclusion

· There is no single, accepted definition of smart beta· In practice, the term is used for a wide range of passive products with alternative filtering and/or

weighting schemes· The key question is where each product fits in a portfolio

‒ A tool to isolate specific market characteristics?

‒ A broader investment strategy designed to replace “beta” benchmarks?· Source is a pioneer in smart beta ETFs

‒ Carefully selected range of products

‒ Expert partners

Goldman Sachs Equity Factor Indices:Efficient factor exposure can be a challenge

Data: Goldman Sachs International

· Systematic factors are well-known sources of outperformance

· However

‒ Different factors perform well at different times

‒ Some factors are negatively correlated

· Efficient exposure must be diversified across factors, and consider the correlations between them

Simulated performance is calculated using the index rules, published at www.source.info, but has at times used different data sources and a slightly different methodology. Past performance (actual or simulated) is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Performance does not include fund costs (0.65% per annum for the Source Goldman Sachs Equity Factor Index World UCITS ETF, 0.45% per annum for a typical ETF tracking MSCI World Daily Net TR Index). * Performance of GS EFI World divided by performance of MSCI World Daily Net TR Index (adjusted so as to have similar beta).

Investors in Source products should note that the price of your investment may go down as well as up. As a result, you may not get back the amount of capital you invest. This factsheet is intended for individuals who are familiar with investment terminology. Please contact your financial adviser if you need an explanation of the terms used. This factsheet is not for distribution to, or for the attention of, US or Canadian persons. When making an investment decision, you should rely solely on the KIID and prospectus, which can be downloaded at www.SourceETF.com . Other languages are available. The investment policy is set out in the prospectus supplement. Without limitation, this factsheet does not constitute an offer or a recommendation to enter into any transaction.

Investment strategies involve numerous risks. Investors should consult their own business, tax, legal and accounting advisors with respect to this proposed transaction and they should refrain from entering into a transaction with us unless they have fully understood the associated risks and have independently determined that the transaction is appropriate for them. In no way should Source UK Services Limited be deemed to be holding itself out as a financial adviser or a fiduciary.

Source ETFs are issued by Source Markets plc, an Irish domiciled company with limited liability regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. The ETFs entitle the holder to receive a return linked to the performance of the benchmark index. Investors are therefore at risk that the level of the index may cause any amounts payable under the product to be less than the amount paid for the ETFs. The historical level of the index should not be taken as an indication of the index’s future performance during the term of the ETFs. Investment risks from market and currency losses as well as high volatility and concentration risk cannot be excluded. The performance of the ETF may differ from the performance of the index.
