11 MMI Investment Philosophy 11 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

12 What is Outcome Based Investing? Investment objective (how to achieve it) Goal (Liability) Results Outcome-based investing plans for the end goal as well as the journey that leads to the outcome Start (Assets) Time 12 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

13 Outcome-based investment philosophy Time frame Risk appetite (capital losses, market relevant, minimum returns, etc.) Investment goal (nominal amount, required level of growth, cash flow matching, etc.) 13 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

14 Outcomes-based investing principles Start by defining an end-state / outcome: A nominal rand amount A required level of growth (e.g. CPI+x%) A series of pre-defined cash flows A notional asset which is interest rate sensitive A market related / investable index Assess the length of time to reach the outcome What risks are you prepared to take Capital loss Minimum return (no more than -20% in any one year) Not less than the market return Is the outcome reasonably possible based on investment fundamentals Construct a portfolio that best matches the desired outcome 14 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

15 Outcome-based Investment process We believe in stress-free investing asset class strategy manager Multi-asset class For risk management at total portfolio level Multi-strategy For consistent returns in dynamic market conditions Multi-manager For specialist expertise in each style 15 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

18 3 Selecting the best provider Selection and construction principles to follow: Identify investment managers suiting identified strategies Only use active management where there is skill Where no potential for value add or consistent skill, liquidity, market depth, high cost of trading or for risk control, passive investing may be preferable Co-create strategies with investment managers where needed There should be a value add net of fees Most active investment managers are not strategy pure strategy mix should be accounted for in the process of portfolio construction Investment manager risk should not destroy the certainty in the outcome but add to it Investment manager contribution to active risk should relate to value add expectations A well-diversified investment manager blend is crucial to protect against concentrated risk and volatility in outcomes 18 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

23 Economic overview 23 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

24 Global economic overview Global US Eurozone UK Japan EM China Growth downgrades accelerated in DM but stabilising in EM Slower growth path than historically sluggish productivity gains + unfavourable demographics + limited policy room Firm consumption + services growth drag from oil + exports should fade Gradual strengthening in inflation Delayed tightening cycle in response to rising external risks Mild growth accommodative fiscal + monetary policy partly eroded by weak external demand + geopolitical risks Expected to avoid annual recession weaker sterling-induced boost to tourism + exports to partly counter blow to private sector confidence Slow reform momentum curtailing growth despite massive stimulus efforts Growth differential with DM expected to widen anaemic global trade + muted commodity prices + financial vulnerabilities limits extent of rebound Cyclical slowdown expected as policy turns more neutral trend growth supported by reforms 24 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

25 Local economic overview Growth Expect a gradual improvement towards trend by 2018 driven in outer years by firmer commodity prices + increase in energy supply + higher global growth Consumer Facing tepid jobs growth + lower real wage growth + stringent credit criteria Investment Dampened by policy uncertainty + weak demand + profitability strain Current account Fiscal Currency Currency benefit partly offset by high input costs + fragile global demand + structural drag from dividend payments Debt stabilisation threatened by slower revenue growth + political pressure to spend in lacklustre growth environment credit worthiness under scrutiny Positive real carry trade overshadowed by domestic political tensions Modest revival in commodity prices over medium term is rand positive Inflation Profile likely to improve in 2017 on lower food inflation risks: rand + wages Interest rates Real rates still viewed as accommodative rates could rise another 25bps in 2016 (limited space for unfavourable shocks) without unduly affecting growth 25 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

26 GDP: SA consumers are vulnerable Culprits include deteriorating (nominal + real) income growth + rising ST debt pressure + deteriorating wealth effects + job losses but 4Q16 could be a turning point Vulnerability index measures wealth (house + equity prices, debt to asset growth) + purchasing power (employment, inflation, consumer confidence, wages) + debt affordability (debt instalments, ST debt share, debt services costs, insolvencies, savings) 26 Source: Deutsche Bank Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

29 Impact of sub-ig status on the SA economy Immediate currency impact Sustained currency depreciation higher expected inflation interest rate response dampens domestic demand Tighter fiscal policy in an attempt to improve debt metrics + offset revenue slippage higher taxes + lower government expenditure Consumer hit negatively by rising interest rates + higher personal taxes + VAT + lower employment prospects + negative wealth effect Do not necessarily expect a negative feedback loop from poor economic growth + unfavourable political climate deteriorating fiscal position further downgrades (i.e. Brazil) 29 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

62 Active vs. Passive investing? Evan Gilbert 62

63 The Active vs. Passive Investing Debate Key questions : What is a benchmark? What are the key differences between Active and Passive investment approaches? What are the pros and cons of each approach? When is it best to use which approach? How do we use Active and Passive investments in the MOBS portfolios? Outcomes Based Investing Application to the Enhanced Range Classic Equity 63 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

64 What is a benchmark vs. an objective? This is a proxy for/represents the underlying investment universe in the portfolio Usually set at the asset class level e.g. JSE All Share Index Can be multi-asset class Any investment mandate has a benchmark Serves as a basis for performance assessment A good benchmark must be: Appropriate (match the investment environment) Investable (can be replicated) Properly weighted (aim to avoid concentration) Transparent and easy to understand Broad market indices based on market capitalisation are the most common/popular benchmarks at the asset class level, but there are others: Style-specific indices (e.g. value in equities or fixed income can be used for certain investment styles) Peer relative e.g. top quartile (useful for assessing how well your manager is doing compared to the competition) Can also have objectives (different to benchmarks): Absolute returns (normally defined in terms of returns above inflation) Custom (usually a combination of different asset classes e.g. 60% equity, 30% bonds, 10% cash) 64 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

65 Active vs. Passive What are the key differences? Active Managers Goal: benchmark outperformance An active manager tries to outperform a benchmark in a specific asset class (e.g. SA Equity - ALSI) Active positioning The portfolio composition is different to the index by design Investment Philosophy Differences to the index based on an investment philosophy e.g. value Performance: Alpha Evaluated on ability to produce alpha (outperformance relative to the benchmark on a risk adjusted basis) Cost experience Normally higher for the client Higher management fees More trading/transaction costs Passive Managers Goal: benchmark replication A passive manager tries to replicate the returns a benchmark in an asset class (e.g. ALSI) Passive positioning The portfolio is constructed the same as the benchmark (or as close to it as is possible) by design Investment philosophy None Performance Tracking error Tracking error how closely does its returns match those of the benchmark? Cost experience Lower cost experience for the client Very low manager fees JDJ1 Lower turnover, depending on strategy 65 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

66 Types of Passive Investing Strategies/Products Full replication Index tracking notes Benchmark Returns Partial replication Access via: Segregated mandates (if big enough) Unit Trusts Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) 66 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

67 Active vs. Passive investing The pros and cons Pros Cons Active Investing Offers the potential to outperform the index (if the manager s investment strategy works) Depending on the strategy, should deliver less volatile returns than traditional market cap indices Costs more than passive approaches It always needs to produce alpha on average to counteract the cost drag The alpha stream is lumpy and the strategy generally requires a long term investment horizon deliver benchmark beating returns Lots of active portfolios resemble the benchmark so you can end up paying a lot for a closet index tracker Passive Investing Accurate replication of asset class returns Relatively cheap Gives you the bulk of the returns you need to reach your investment objective Can only ever (at best) match the benchmark Will usually lag the benchmark because of fees Depending on a client s risk profile, passive investments may introduce more volatility/risk 67 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

68 Active vs. Passive When do you use which? You can come up with very good investment solutions built only from passive investment that are: Cheap Diversified Offer a reasonable chance of success But there are some very good reasons to at the very least complement this with active managers: Not all asset classes and investment strategies are represented in the passive world (Smart Beta is changing this) Some clients don t want average returns they want to back an active manager that seems to know what they are doing. 68 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

69 New developments in the Passive Space Smart Beta the best of both worlds? Systematic investment strategies that have elements of both passive and active investing There is a rule book that is followed there is no manager discretion like passive investing (other than setting the rules) Portfolio will be different to market-capitalisation benchmark possibility of outperformance like Active investments Smart Beta portfolios are usually based on a Factor RAFI stocks weighted by their fundamental performance (profits, sales, growth) not their prices (market capitalisation approach) Value consistent exposure to cheap assets Momentum consistent exposure to assets with both positive recent price changes and positive earning revisions Offers cheap access to active-type investment strategies Provides a cheaper alternative to active managers focussing on a style/factor Devil in the detail : definitions of factors and risk management in portfolio construction No rules works perfectly all the time an active manager could still perform better 69 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

70 Active and Passive Investments how do we choose between (or combine) them? OBI selection and building block construction principles : Identify investment managers that match the identified strategies Only use active management where there is demonstrable skill Passive investing may be preferable where No potential for value add or consistent skill; Liquidity, market depth, high cost of trading; or Risk control. There should always be a value add net of fees Risk management: Investment manager contribution to active risk should relate to value add expectations Investment manager risk should not destroy the certainty in the outcome but add to it A well-diversified investment manager blend is crucial to protect against concentrated risk and volatility in outcomes 70 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions

79 Summary Active vs. Passive is not really the question! We should rather ask: When is it best to use Active or Passive? What is the best combination of Active and Passive investments? Each have their pros and cons: Passive investments are cheap and gets you most of the way there (via Beta) But it can t always give you access to the investment strategies that you want Active investments can give you the extra performance (via Alpha) But it s more expensive and Alpha is not always consistently delivered Smart Beta offers the potential of the best of both approaches but is still very new We use a combination of active and passive investments in the Enhanced Factor Range Classic Equity building block: Passive core (SWIX tracker in Local Equity Building Block) Active managers Various specialised strategies We believe that this gives us the right combination of expected level of outperformance and cost for our clients 79 Momentum Outcome-based Solutions
