“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-te

rmance inves

ting to

low-cost ind

exing."

- 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

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

Foreign currency risk

· Portfolios with global equities are exposed to several currency risks at the same time.

· Exchange rate fluctuations primarily have a major impact on the investment returns of GBP, EUR, CHF, and JPY investors.

· GBP investors are exposed to foreign currency risks of 90.80%.

· For USD investors, almost half of the portfolio is exposed to foreign currencies.

Past trends in currency marketsExchange-rate developments against the GBP

Currency trends versus the GBP (Sep.'10 – Sep.'15; 28 Sep. 2010 = 100)

• 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

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.

Hedging of foreign currency in the desired home currency

1. The return of the non-currency hedged indices in the selected home currency.

2. The profit or loss arising from the forward contract in the selected home currency.

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. Every fund has specific risks, which may increase considerably in unusual market conditions. Please contact your client advisor if you wish to receive further information on the investment risks associated with this product.

UBS ETFs investing in MetalsThe UBS Exchange Traded Fund investing in metals may be subject to considerable fluctuations in value. Investors therefore require an investment horizon of at least five years and corresponding risk tolerance and capacity. All investments are subject to market fluctuations.

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 Agriculture, Oil and CommoditiesThe Fund delivers the returns of a broadly diversified commodity index and may therefore be subject to high fluctuations in value.

In the event that the Swap Counterparty defaults under the terms of the Relevant Swap, the Fund may suffer a loss. Assets are passively managed meaning losses that could be avoided via active management will not be offset. The net asset value of the Fund’s assets are materially dependent on the performance of the underlying investments. In case the currency of the product is different from your reference currency, the return may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. Every fund has specific risks, which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions.
