3 3 Extraordinary monetary policy has forced many investors into equity markets for yield, capital return or long-term inflation protection - who are not naturally comfortable with volatility. Yet volatility is here to stay, and valuations are stretched, so discomfort could soon turn to something far worse - especially if the political climate changes dramatically. Stepping into the unknown can be unnerving, even for the most experienced investors. When things get rough, you need a portfolio that can handle the pressure and allow you to identify the risks that really are worth taking. That s where minimum variance comes in. Minimum variance strategies won t eliminate the possibility of loss, but they can help dampen volatility and smooth returns, allowing you to step more confidently into new equity markets. François Millet Head of ETF and Index Product Development
4 Protect myself Minimum Variance Navigating a safer path Strategies aimed at reducing volatility have proliferated in recent years. Some, like factor-based low volatility strategies, tilt more towards performance than reducing risk, while standard minimum variance strategies focus more overtly on risk reduction. Albeit superficially similar their approaches are in fact very different, yet in our view equally flawed. Traditional low volatility strategies tend to hold only the least volatile stocks, or re-weight an existing index around its less volatile performers. Standard minimum variance strategies consider not just volatility, but correlations too. Yet both routes point to so few stocks, countries or sectors that overcrowding, or concentn risk can become an issue. Don t concentrate too hard Some countries and sectors are naturally less volatile than others, but limiting yourself to these areas poses unintended risks, especially with the investment world as it is today. Since the financial crisis, investors have favoured a relatively small number of high quality, low volatility stocks. Such crowding leaves them poorly diversified and vulnerable to a change in sentiment. More effective diversification is vitally important given more markets and sectors are moving in the same direction at the same time. Volatility
5 5 Our approach We work unceasingly to determine the indices most capable of providing solutions for the problems you face today. When it came to reducing risk, we chose the FTSE Minimum Variance indices because we believed they could deliver the best outcome for you. Diversification Correlations FTSE Minimum Variance indices can reduce risk by approx. 20% 1 1 Source: Lyxor International Asset Management, Bloomberg. Data based on annualised volatility reduction of FTSE Developed Europe Minimum Variance, FTSE Developed Eurozone Minimum Variance, FTSE USA Minimum Variance, FTSE Emerging Minimum Variance and FTSE All World Minimum Variance indices over period from 30/12/2006 to 29/03/2018. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.
6 Protect myself Minimum Variance Adding a new dimension Unlike conventional strategies, our diversified minimum variance ETFs take a truly multi-dimensional approach to reducing risk.
7 7 Reducing volatility shouldn t have to come at the cost of greater concentn and less agility. We d rather prepare for any eventuality by spreading risk wider and distributing it more evenly. 1. Optimised portfolio We believe it s smarter to build an optimised portfolio that factors in stock volatilities and correlations to minimise index risk. Measurements are based on FTSE s research over rolling 24-month periods. The result is a more stable portfolio of stocks that are less volatile and move relatively independently. 2. More is more We operate some of the strictest diversification targets in the industry. Our ETFs tend to hold between two and four times as many stocks as other strategies (over 300 more for the FTSE USA Minimum Variance example). This means that your risk is spread over more than twice as many stocks as similar minimum variance strategies Balanced targets Setting global diversification targets helps us to prevent stock specific risks, avoid herding into the most crowded trades and smooth portfolio returns. We limit the weight of any individual stock to a maximum of 1.5%, and ensure that no sector accounts for more than 20% of the portfolio. This helps to prevent any extreme weighting in our portfolios. This works in conjunction with the index level diversification targets to ensure the indices have diversified stock names as well as diversified stock weightings. The result The resulting indices strike a balance between volatility reduction and diversification. This added dimension of diversification creates more robust portfolios. Over time, these indices have shown they can reduce risk by approximately 20% 2. They have also shown they can outperform their parent indices, like the FTSE Europe for example. 1 Source: Lyxor International Asset Management, March Comparison drawn between all five of our FTSE Minimum Variance indices and other leading products in the European ETF market. 2 Source: Lyxor International Asset Management, Bloomberg.

9 9 Comparing the indices The chart below highlights how the design of a diversified minimum variance index differs naturally from the original universe. As you can see, it has less exposure to traditionally more volatile sectors like financials, information technology and energy. But retaining most of the original index still allows you to invest almost as if you were still buying your chosen market.

10 Protect myself Minimum Variance Does it work? The table below shows how the FTSE Minimum Variance indices have reduced volatility by, on average, over 26%. It also shows they have generated a consistent pattern of excess returns over the past ten years, all the while being very diversified indeed. Wherever possible, we retain at least 55% of the original indices.

14 Protect myself Minimum Variance Knowing your risk It is important for potential investors to evaluate the general risks described below and in the fund prospectus on our website Capital at risk ETFs are tracking instruments: Their risk profile is similar to a direct investment in the Underlying index. Investors capital is fully at risk and investors may not get back the amount originally invested Replication risk The fund objectives might not be reached due to unexpected events on the underlying markets which will impact the index calculation and the efficient fund replication. Counterparty risk With synthetic ETFs, investors are exposed to risks resulting from the use of an OTC swap with Société Générale. In-line with UCITs guidelines, the exposure to Société Générale cannot exceed 10% of the total fund assets. Physically replicated ETFs may have counterparty risk if they use a securities lending programme. Concentn Risk Smart Beta ETFs select stocks or bonds for their portfolio from the original benchmark index. Where selection rules are extensive it can lead to a more concentrated portfolio where risk is spread over fewer stocks than the original benchmark. Underlying risk The Underlying index of a Lyxor ETF may be complex and volatile. For example, when investing in commodities, the Underlying index is calculated with reference to commodity futures contracts exposing the investor to a liquidity risk linked to costs such as cost of carry and transportation. ETFs exposed to Emerging Markets carry a greater risk of potential loss than investment in Developed Markets as they are exposed to a wide range of unpredictable Emerging Market risks. Currency risk ETFs may be exposed to currency risk if the ETF is denominated in a currency different to that of the Underlying index they are tracking. This means that exchange rate fluctuations could have a negative or positive effect on returns. Liquidity risk Liquidity is provided by registered market-makers on the respective stock exchange where the ETF is listed, including Société Générale. On exchange, liquidity may be limited as a result of a suspension in the underlying market represented by the Underlying index tracked by the ETF; a failure in the systems of one of the relevant stock exchanges, or other market-maker systems; or an abnormal trading situation or event.
