14 Section 3 Investing in 2015
15 Equities: US and Euro vs EM US equities have superior earnings growth Equities not cheap; earnings growth to drive returns OW US equities: steady earnings growth amid a strong domestic economy OW Eurozone equities: EUR weakening supportive of European exporters' earnings UW EM equities: falling commodity prices weigh on earnings US 12m trailing earnings-per-share Emerging markets 12m trailing earnings-per-share Source: Bloomberg, UBS.
16 Bonds: Credit vs high grade Investors should seek higher yields in credit Yields exceptionally low vs history: returns likely to be limited UW high grade bonds: Low level of yields, expected to rise (US in particular) OW credit: Low default rate and supportive growth and financing conditions, focused on US high yield UW EM bonds in USD Yield and subsequent performance (%) 20% 18% 16% 14% 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% US corporate operating profits and interest payments (USDbn) 1,800 1,600 1,400 1,200 1, US government bond yield Performance next 5y Operating profits Interest payments Source: Bloomberg, BEA, UBS.
17 Alternatives: Equity long-short and private debt opportunities Alternatives play an important role in improving portfolio returns Comparatively attractive returns as equity/bonds returns moderate Hedge funds: prefer equity long-short funds.

18 Foreign exchange: US dollar vs euro Monetary policy divergences will continue in 2015 In general, investors should hedge currency exposure A diverging world presents some tactical opportunities while increasing currency volatility The US and UK to begin normalising monetary policy; ECB still on the easing path OW USD and GBP UW EUR and CHF 10-year government bond yield (%) JP Morgan FX Volatility Index (%) /10 02/11 06/11 10/11 02/12 US 06/12 10/12 02/13 Germany 06/13 10/13 02/14 06/14 10/ /09 04/10 10/10 04/11 10/11 04/12 10/12 04/13 10/13 04/14 Source: Bloomberg, UBS.
19 Key takeaways Growth Divergence in growth with solid and resilient US and UK growth, while Eurozone slowly improves and China's growth weakens. Policy Divergence in monetary policy, as the US and UK begin raising interest rates while Eurozone and Japan are forced to loosen policy further. Equities Overweight US assets specifically US equities relative to EM equities. We also have a small overweight position in Eurozone equities. Bonds Prefer developed market corporate bonds (Investment grade and high yield), over high grade and EM bonds. FX and AI Overweight USD and GBP vs. EUR and CHF. Prefer equity long/short within hedge funds. Final message Monitor cash levels within portfolios given continued burden on overall returns. Avoid excessive home bias as markets diverge and volatility rises "Diversification is the only free lunch in finance. Harry Markowitz
