1 Investing in Gender Equality Take a stand for women in the workforce with the Solactive Equileap Global Gender Equality index FOR QUALIFIED INVESTORS ONLY This document is reserved and must be given in Switzerland exclusively to Qualified Investors as defined by the Swiss Collective Investment Scheme Act of 23 June 2006 (as amended from time to time, CISA). ESG February 2018
2 Doing justice to gender equality Achieving gender equality is a path to better well-being for families and communities, while at the same time encouraging productivity and economic growth. Directing capital towards those companies that manage their gender balance effectively is not only a means to promote equality, but should also be a source of incremental returns over time. In spite of its importance, gender equality remains under the radar for many investors, with few ESG screens incorporating it into their analysis. As a result, the gender dividend is not fully reflected in market pricing and investment strategies. As companies face increasing pressure from society and regulators to address their gender balance across their organisations, we believe there is a real opportunity to harness a developing story, and make an impact. The world is finally waking up to the social and economic benefits of gender equality Clarisse Djabbari Deputy Head, ETFs & Indexing Lyxor Asset Management Did you know? According to the G20 Green Finance Study Group, Gender Equality is one of the Top 3 UN Sustainable Development Goals which global investors are currently focusing on, along with Climate Action, and Affordable and Clean Energy. 2
3 Understanding the opportunity There are clear social and economic reasons to prioritise companies managing gender equality effectively. Investing in companies promoting gender equality can accelerate this change. Performance Investors can do well by doing good. There is evidence that companies promoting gender equality among their workforce and senior management team have outpaced their peers. Over the last six years, the Solactive Equileap Global Gender Equality index has outperformed the MSCI World Index by 10.7%. 1 The dispersion is likely to become wider as regulators encourage greater transparency. Good citizenship Encouraging gender equality has tangible benefits for society: increasing the share of household income controlled by women changes spending in ways that benefit children, while increasing educational attainment for women reduces child mortality. 2 Promoting long-term economic growth Greater female representation in the workplace is beneficial for the long-term growth of the economy. Up to $28 trillion could be added to global GDP by 2025 if full gender equality is achieved in the workforce. 3 Promoting greater equality Directing capital to those companies with an enlightened approach to gender relations encourages wider adoption of these values. As transparency increases, those companies with a poor record will increasingly find themselves on the wrong side of regulation and investor sentiment. Did you know? Research suggests that gender-diverse companies are 15% more likely to financially outperform 4. 1 Source: Bloomberg, daily data from 30/09/2011 to 29/09/2017.

4 How the Solactive index works was designed by Equileap, an independent gender equality research organisation. It aims to identify those companies that are strongest among their global peers in promoting gender equality Index design The index comprises 150 companies, ranked by their Equileap Gender Equality Score. In assigning its scores, Equileap screens over 3,000 global companies from 23 countries on 19 criteria to measure their progress towards gender equality. This score prioritises those companies with: Gender balance in leadership and workforce Equal compensation & work life balance Policies promoting gender equality Commitment to transparency and accountability Information is drawn from public sources and researched by the Sustainable Finance Group at Maastricht University. The companies in the index have all shown a significant commitment to gender equality in the way they conduct their business. Diversified and investible Companies are equal weighted, ensuring no premium is given for size. There is also a limit on the weighting to US companies, and a cap of 10% for other countries. No one industry represents more than 25% of the index. Size and liquidity filters are also applied, with a US$2bn market capitalization and a minimum US$5m average daily traded volume. Ethical An ethical screen is applied, excluding companies involved in weapons, gambling and tobacco, and those on the Norwegian Ethics Council list. Companies involved in gender-related legal cases are also excluded. 4
5 The role of Equileap Equileap is an independent gender equality research organisation that aims to accelerate progress towards gender equality in the workplace, using the power of investments, grants and knowledge. Equileap strives to cut the 217 years the World Economic Forum estimates it will take for equality to be achieved at present rates of change. Improving equal opportunities promises to take millions of women and their families out of poverty and move the world closer to achieving the UN s Sustainable Development Goals by How the Equileap gender scores are calculated Category Equileap criteria Factors measured Weight Non-executive board What is the percentage split of males/females on the board of directors?

11 Knowing your risk It is important for potential investors to evaluate the 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 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 resulting from the use of a securities lending programme. Underlying risk The Underlying index of a Lyxor ETF may be complex and volatile. 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. 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. 11
