4 Introducton The S&P/NZX New Zealand Fxed Interest Index Seres s a broad benchmark ndex famly desgned to measure the performance of the New Zealand bond market, whle meetng certan nvestablty crtera. Ths methodology was created by S&P Dow Jones Indces to acheve the aforementoned objectve of measurng the underlyng nterest of each ndex governed by ths methodology document. Any changes to or devatons from ths methodology are made n the sole judgment and dscreton of S&P Dow Jones Indces so that the ndex contnues to acheve ts objectve. Collaboraton In July 2015, pursuant to an agreement between S&P Dow Jones Indces and NZX Lmted, the exstng sute of NZX Indces was co-branded and S&P Dow Jones Indces assumed responsblty for calculatng, mantanng and lcensng the ndces. NZX contnues to dstrbute and lcense the real-tme and delayed ndex values va ts data feed product. Wth the ntroducton of the ndex seres, New Zealand s ndces have been placed at the forefront of the global market. The ndces showcase the performance of the New Zealand fxed nterest market. Index Famly S&P/NZX Bond Indces. The S&P/NZX Bond Indces consst of the followng: S&P/NZX Government Bond Index. The ndex s comprsed of soveregn bonds ssued by the New Zealand Government. In addton to the man ndex, ndces coverng varous maturty bands are also calculated. S&P/NZX Government Inflaton-Lnked Bond Index. The ndex s comprsed of nflaton-lnked bonds ssued by the New Zealand government. The consttuents of ths ndex are excluded from the S&P/NZX Government Bond Index. S&P/NZX Local Authorty Bond Index. The ndex s comprsed of bonds ssued by Local Authortes n New Zealand, as well as bonds ssued by the New Zealand Local Government Fundng Agency. Bonds ssued by Watercare Servces Ltd., a councl-controlled organzaton, wholly-owned by Auckland Councl, are also elgble for ncluson n the ndex. S&P Dow Jones Indces: S&P/NZX New Zealand Fxed Interest Index Seres Methodology 3
5 S&P/NZX Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index. The ndex s comprsed of nvestment grade, non-new Zealand government bonds ssued by domestc enttes n local currency. A sub-ndex comprsng bonds wth credt ratngs of A- or above s also calculated (the S&P/NZX A-Grade Corporate Bond Index), as are composte ndces combnng the nvestment grade corporate and government bond ndces, and A-grade corporate and government bond ndces (the S&P/NZX Composte Investment Grade Bond Index and S&P/NZX Composte A-Grade Corporate Bond Index, respectvely). S&P/NZX Kaur Bond Index. The ndex s comprsed of nvestment grade bonds ssued n New Zealand dollars by foregn enttes ( Kaur bonds ). An ndex comprsng elgble Kaur bonds and New Zealand government bonds s also calculated (the S&P/NZX Composte Kaur Bond Index). S&P/NZX Swap Indces. Ths ndex famly comprses nne ndces representng the return of an ndvdual swap maturty and a further sx aggregate ndces representng the average return of two or more ndvdual maturtes. S&P/NZX Bank Bll Indces. These ndces are desgned to measure the performance of shorter-dated securtes. 30-day and 90-day versons of the ndces are calculated, representng a hypothetcal portfolo of blls valued at ether the 30-day, 60-day or 90-day market yeld, dependng on the number of days to maturty. S&P/NZX Call Rate Depost Index. Ths ndex represents the performance of a rollng overnght depost at the New Zealand Reserve Bank Offcal Cash Rate (OCR).

6 Elgblty Crtera Elgblty Factors Currency and Market of Issue. Only New Zealand dollar-denomnated bonds that are ssued n the New Zealand market are elgble. Bonds ssued through prvate placements are excluded from the ndex. Maturty. Bonds must be of bullet maturty wth no embedded optonally (no callable or extendable structures). Securtes must have an ntal term to maturty greater than or equal to one year. Ratng. Each S&P/NZX New Zealand Fxed Interest Index consttuent must be rated by Standard & Poor s, Moody's, or Ftch. The mnmum credt ratng for ncluson s BBB-/Baa3/BBB-, dependng on the agency s ratng scheme, to ensure that only nvestment-grade ssues are ncluded. For an ssue rated by more than one ratngs agency, the lowest of the ratngs s used as the ssue's credt ratng. For each of the credt ratng bands ndces, the lowest ratng allocated by any of the ratng agences for each correspondng bond determnes whch ratng band a bond belongs to. Prcng. Daly prcng s provded by Thomson Reuters Md-prcng. Coupon. Only fxed rate, non-zero coupon bonds are elgble. Fxed rate bonds wth step-up, or extendable coupons, are excluded.

7 Tmng of Changes S&P/NZX Bond Indces. The ndces are revewed and rebalanced on a monthly bass, wth selecton takng place fve busness days pror to the last busness day of the month (T-5, Selecton Date ). Based on new ssuance, sze, and maturty, the bonds n the ndces are subject to change every month, effectve after the close of the last busness day of the month. Addtons, deletons and other changes to the ndces arsng from the monthly rebalancng are publshed after the close of busness, no earler than three busness days pror to the last busness day of the month (the announcement date). Bonds that are settled on or before fve busness days pror to the last busness day of the month make the cut-off for rebalancng screenng. Newly-ssued bonds that do not settle for the frst tme on or before fve busness days pror to the last busness day of the month are added at the subsequent month s rebalancng. Changes become effectve after the close on the last busness day of the month (the rebalancng date). S&P/NZX Swap Indces. The ndces are rebalanced on the last busness day of each month. On the rebalancng date, mmedately pror to rebalancng, each swap s one month shorter than at ncepton. S&P/NZX Bank Bll Indces. The ndces undergo a theoretcal rebalancng on a daly bass. S&P/NZX Call Rate Depost Index. The ndex represents the performance of a rollng overnght depost and does not undergo a rebalancng n the manner of the ndces descrbed above.

8 Index Constructon Index Calculatons The ndces are market-value-weghted. The total return s calculated by aggregatng the nterest return, reflectng the return due to pad and accrued nterest, and prce return, reflectng the gans or losses due to changes n the end-of-day prce and prncpal repayments. For further detals regardng Index Calculatons please refer to Appendces I-IV. S&P Dow Jones Indces: S&P/NZX New Zealand Fxed Interest Index Seres Methodology 7
9 Index Mantenance S&P/NZX Bond Indces. The ndces are mantaned n accordance wth the followng rules: Elgble bonds are added to the relevant ndex on the next rebalancng date, subject to the schedule of the monthly rebalancng procedure. Any ndex bond falng to meet any one of the elgblty factors s removed from the ndex on the rebalancng date. Par amounts of ndex bonds are adjusted on the rebalancng date to reflect any changes that have occurred snce the prevous rebalancng date, due to partal calls, tenders, etc. Smlarly, changes to par amounts due to mandatory snkng fund payments and scheduled amortzaton payments are made effectve after the close on the payment date. Any ndex bond that s downgraded below nvestment grade between rebalancng dates s removed at the next rebalancng. Bonds mature n the ndex, wth proceeds renvested n the ndex after the close of busness on the maturty date. Where an ndex bond s n default or msses an nterest payment, the prce reported by our prmary data vendor s used. However, the Index Commttee may determne that the bond be removed from the ndex at a dfferent prce and may specfy a prce of $0.00. The decson of the Index Commttee s fnal. Rebalancng S&P/NZX Bond Indces. The ndces are revewed and rebalanced on a monthly bass. The Index Commttee, nevertheless, reserves the rght to make adjustments to an ndex at any tme that t beleves approprate. Pro-forma addtons, deletons and other changes to the ndces arsng from the monthly rebalancng are publshed, after the close of busness, no earler than three busness days pror to the last busness day of the month. Bonds that are settled on or before fve busness days pror to the last busness day of the month make the cut-off for the rebalance screenng. Newly-ssued bonds that do not settle for the frst tme on or before fve busness days pror to the last busness day of the month are added at the subsequent month s rebalancng. Changes become effectve after the close on the last busness day of the month (the rebalancng date). S&P Dow Jones Indces: S&P/NZX New Zealand Fxed Interest Index Seres Methodology 8

16 Appendx I Bond Index Calculatons Calculaton of Index Bond Market Values and Relatve Weghts A market value s calculated for each ndex bond as of the close on each calendar day. The market value of an ndex bond on day t s calculated as follows: ( Pt + AIt) MVt = PARt (1) 100 where: MV t = Market value of the ndex bond on day t. PAR t = Par amount of the ndex bond as of the last monthly rebalancng, adjusted for prncpal pre-payments and mandatory snkng fund payments up to and ncludng day t. P t = Prce of the ndex bond on day t. AI t = Accrued nterest 1 on the ndex bond up to and ncludng day t. If the valuaton date s not a busness day, the market value s based on the prce as of the mmedate pror busness day, plus nterest accrued to the valuaton date. The relatve weght of an ndex bond s defned as the market value of that bond expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value of all ndex bonds n the ndex portfolo, as follows: MVk weght k = (2) MVk k The market value for an nflaton-lnked bond s adjusted by the CPI from ts ssue date to the trade date. 1 AIt n (1) s calculated on a calendar date bass and uses the conventons for calculatng settlement accrued. Accordngly, accrued nterest s zero on a coupon payment date. S&P Dow Jones Indces: S&P/NZX New Zealand Fxed Interest Index Seres Methodology 15
17 Calculaton of Index Total Returns Daly returns are calculated for all ndex bonds on every calendar day. Total Return The total return, TR, of an ndex bond on day t s the sum of the market prce return and the nterest return on day t: TR + t = IRt PRt (3) where: IR t = Interest return on day t. PR t = Prce return on day t. Prce return measures the return due to the change n the market prce of the bond. Interest return (or coupon return) ncludes the return due to the nterest earned on that bond. In the case of zero coupon bonds, the accreton n prce due to nterest return s reported as prce return. Interest Return The formula for the nterest return on an ndvdual ndex bond on day t s as follows: IRt AIt PARt PAR 100 = MV t 1 Beg AI 100 t 1 + Intt (4) where: IR t = Interest return at tme t. PAR t = Par amount of the ndex bond as of the last monthly rebalancng, adjusted for prncpal pre-payments and mandatory snkng fund payments up to and ncludng day t. AI t = Accrued nterest, up to and ncludng day t. AI t-1 = Accrued nterest, up to and ncludng day t-1. PAR t-1 = Par amount of the ndex bond as of the last monthly rebalancng, adjusted for prncpal pre-payments and mandatory snkng fund payments up to and ncludng day t-1. Int t = Interest payment on day t. MV Beg = Market value at the begnnng of day t. S&P Dow Jones Indces: S&P/NZX New Zealand Fxed Interest Index Seres Methodology 16
18 Prce Return The formula for the prce return for an ndex bond at tme t s as follows: PRt Pt Pt 1 RP Pt 1 PARt + Prnt = (5) MVBeg where: PR t = Prce return on day t. PAR t = Par amount of the ndex bond as of the last monthly rebalancng, adjusted for prncpal repayments and mandatory snkng fund payments up to and ncludng day t. P t = Prce of the ndex bond on day t. P t-1 = Prce of the ndex bond on day t-1. Prn t = Prncpal prepayments or mandatory snkng fund payments on day t. RP = Redempton prce. MV Beg = Market value at the begnnng of day t. Note that the formula for prce return (5) has two components. The frst term, n the numerator on the left sde, represents the unrealzed return due to any change n the prce, whle the second term (on the rght) represents the realzed return due to recevng a prncpal repayment at the redempton prce (whch could dffer from par) rather than at the current end of day prce. Calculaton of Index Returns and Levels Daly Index Returns The ndvdual ndex bond returns are aggregated to calculate returns for the ndex. Specfcally, the total return, nterest return and prce return for the ndex, on a gven day, are equal to a weghted average of the returns of the ndex bonds that consttute the ndex. The weght of each ndex bond return s equal to the relatve weght of that ndex bond n the ndex as of the prevous calendar day (adjusted for prncpal pre-payments and mandatory snkng fund payments). Thus, the begnnng day ndex value may dffer from the end of day ndex value due to consttuent adjustments. The formulas are as follows: IndexTR t = MV, Beg MV TR, Beg, t (6) S&P Dow Jones Indces: S&P/NZX New Zealand Fxed Interest Index Seres Methodology 17
19 IndexIR t = MV, Beg MV IR, Beg, t (7) where: IndexPR t = MV, Beg MV PR, Beg, t TR, t = Total return of ndex bond on day t. IR, t = Interest return of ndex bond on day t. PR, t = Prce return of ndex bond on day t. MV, Beg = Market value of ndex bond, at the begnnng of day t. (8) Daly Index Values Index values are calculated each day by applyng the current day s ndex return to the prevous day s ndex value, as follows: TRIV t TRIVt 1 + ( 1 TRt) = (9) PRIV t PRIVt 1 + ( 1 PRt) = (10) ( 1 IRt) = IRIV (11) IRIV t t 1 + where: TRIV t = Total return ndex value on day t. PRIV t = Prce return ndex value on day t. IRIV t = Interest return ndex value on day t. Monthly Cash flows All nterest payments, pre-payments, pay-downs, snkng fund payments, and other forms of cash flow are renvested n the ndex on the payment date.

20 Appendx II Swap Index Calculaton Index values are calculated by takng the rato of the present value of the swap today and after the prevous rebalancng and multplyng ths by the ndex value at the prevous rebalancng: IndexTR t = PV PV, t, Re balance * IndexTR Re balance Inputs: Settlement Dates: Spot Rate: Day Count: Conventon: Interpolaton: Md-market swap and bll rates from Thomson Reuters; New Zealand Reserve Bank Offcal Cash Rate (OCR) Same day (T) for cash and bll rates; T+2 for swap rates OCR compounded for two days Actual/365 Interest rate swaps are sem-quarterly Lnear nterpolaton of market rates s used to derve rates for ntervenng dates S&P Dow Jones Indces: S&P/NZX New Zealand Fxed Interest Index Seres Methodology 19
21 Appendx III Bank Bll Index Calculatons 30-Day Bank Bll Index Calculaton Index values are calculated by multplyng the prevous day s ndex value by the rato of the market value of the bank bll portfolo today to the market value on the prevous day: IndexTR t = MVPortfolo MVPortfolo t * IndexTRt 1 t 1 MVPortfol o t = 29 1 = = 0 1+ R30 ( / 365) where: MVPortfol o t = = = 1 1+ R30 ( / 365) MV Portfolo t = Market value of Bank Bll portfolo on day t. IndexTR t = Index value on day t. = The number of days to maturty. 90-Day Bank Bll Index Calculaton Index values are calculated by multplyng the prevous day s ndex value by the rato of the market value of the bank bll portfolo today to the market value on the prevous day: IndexTR t = MVPortfolo MVPortfolo t * IndexTRt 1 t 1 MVPortfol o t = = 30 1 = 60 1 = = 0 = 31 = R30 ( / 365) 1+ R60 ( / 365) 1+ R90 ( / 365) where: MVPortfol o t 1 = = 30 1 = 60 1 = = 1 = 31 = R30 ( / 365) 1+ R60 ( / 365) 1+ R90 ( / 365) MV Portfolo t = Market value of Bank Bll portfolo on day t.
