38 Short interest: United States listed ETF and HOLDRS short interest The rules on shorting ETFs on financial indices and the use of inverse and leveraged inverse ETFs on financial indices in the various markets are continually being updated as regulators react to market conditions and the actions of other regulators so the position is quite fluid. Date avg avg 5 avg 6 avg 7 avg 8 avg 9 avg Short interest (Mn shares) ,,69,65 of shares outstanding S&P 5 Index Level 98,7,6,8,75,9 98 On 6 February, the SEC approved a new rule that places restrictions on short selling a security when it has experienced a price decline of at least in a single day. If this level is reached, short selling is only allowed if the price of the security is above the current national best bid. Short interest in United States listed ETFs reached the highest ever during. Based on data through to December the average number of ETF shares short during was,7 Mn shares, with an average of,65 Mn in 9 and,69 Mn in 8. The January short interest level for United Stateslisted ETFs was 8.9 of shares outstanding or,56 Mn shares, down.9 from,6 Mn in December. avg,7.8,5 Investors are using ETFs for long/short and hedging strategies. Jan,56 8.9,9 At end of January, there were 9 ETFs listed in the United States and,5 ETFs worldwide, which provide exposure to equity sectors, styles, countries and regional indices as well as fixed income, commodity indices and currencies. Security lending revenue on ETFs can be attractive. For investors who own ETF shares, the lending revenue that can be earned on ETFs, may at times, and for some ETFs, more than cover the annual Total Expense Ratio (TER). Short interest is often considered an indication of the level of scepticism in the market. Short interest data is captured for United States listed securities on the 5th of each month or the next business day and reflects the number of shares that have yet to be repurchased to give back to lenders. The higher the short interest, the more investors are expecting a downturn. Short positions fall in value as stocks rise, and vice versa. Note: With short sales, the investor faces the potential for unlimited losses as the security's price rises. Data as at mid January.

84 Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): product overview Most ETFs in Europe are UCITS funds which are the same as traditional mutual funds in Europe. In the United States, most ETFs are registered investment companies regulated under the Investment Company Act of 9 (the 9 Act ), the same as traditional mutual funds. ETFs in the United States require special exemptions from the Securities and Exchange Commission since they buy and sell shares at Net Asset Value ( NAV ) at the end of each day to a limited group of institutional investors. As a result, other shareholders in the United States who wish to buy or sell shares must trade in the secondary market, rather than directly with the fund unlike mutual funds. ETFs are openended index tracking funds. ETFs are managed by asset managers. ETFs are bought and sold through brokers. Trade on the exchange like any other stock. Settle like any other share on the exchange. Can be purchased, cleared and held in brokerage or custodial account. Can go long or short. Are lendable and marginable. Transparent underlying portfolios generally available daily. Real time indicative NAV. ETFs will generally price around their NAV due to the creation/ redemption process. Benefits: ETFs are not a derivative. Flexible. Transparent. Liquid. Small minimum investment. Ability to trade with multiple counterparties. ETFs are generally liquid: Liquidity reflects liquidity of underlying basket of shares not the trading volume of the ETF as long as trading with a broker which is an authorised participant. Creation/redemption process makes ETFs as liquid as their underlying shares. Unique structure for brokers who enter into legal agreements with the ETF asset managers to be authorised participants, creation/ redemption agents or liquidity providers: Portfolio of securities can be exchanged for Creation Units. Creation Units can be redeemed for underlying portfolio. Creation/redemption ( in kind ) feature allows for arbitrage and results in the fund trading near NAV.. Note a few active funds which disclose their portfolios daily have been approved and listed. 8

85 Exchange Traded Products (ETPs): product overview ETPs are products that have similarities to ETFs in the way they trade and settle but they do not use a mutual fund structure. The use of other structures by ETPs can create different tax and regulatory implications for investors when compared to ETFs which are funds. ETPs may not provide transparency on the underlying portfolio. ETPs may not have a real time indicative NAV. ETPs may expose the investor with up to counterparty risk. ETPs typically do not have an inkind creation/redemption process. Structures often used by ETPs: ETPs are openended. Grantor Trusts. ETPs are bought and sold through brokers. Delaware Statutory Trust. Trade on the exchange like any other stock. New York Grantor Trust. Settle like any other share on the exchange. Special Purpose Company. Partnerships. Secured Note.

92 Asian institutions build out investment capabilities Asian institutions appetite for using external asset managers is growing slowly with the recovery in global markets. Although a recent flurry of RFPs marked a resumption in manager hiring after a near deadstop during the market crisis, institutional investors in Asia continue to build out their own investment management capabilities with an eye towards internalising assets for specific investment strategies. In addition, Asian institutions are not planning to limit their internal management to passive strategies; many are looking to go toe to toe with external managers in active strategies with the goal of generating alpha. These conclusions are drawn from the results of Greenwich Associates Asian Investment Management Study, in which 8 of the largest institutional investors in Hong Kong, Macau, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and other Asian countries were interviewed. These institutions together manage some $5 trillion in assets, a sum that was roughly unchanged from 9 to. About one third of Asian institutions use ETFs as part of their investment strategies. ETFs are most widely employed due to their relatively high levels of liquidity and flexibility, and for their ability to provide institutions with a means of accessing specific investment strategies or exposures.. Greenwich Associates conducted interviews with 8 of the largest institutions in Brunei, China, Hong Kong/Macau, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. Interview topics included asset allocation, product fees paid and compensation.

93 ETFs gain foothold in institutional market In the United States, where ETFs are most commonly thought of as a retail product, institutional investors are finding that ETFs can be helpful tools for cash equitisation, transition management, rebalancing, and obtaining hard to achieve exposures. According to a recent survey by Greenwich Associates, ETF use among United States pension funds, endowments and foundations has grown to about, according to the results of Greenwich Associates most recent annual study of the United States investment management market. How ETFs are used by United States Institutions Tactical adjustments Transitions Despite that relatively modest share, institutions actually represent roughly half the assets invested in ETFs in the United States according to recent industry estimates. Cash equitisation 6 Almost half the institutional users in the Greenwich Associates annual study say they employ ETFs for what they consider tactical tasks related to the management of their portfolios. Approximately of institutional ETF users say they employ the funds to implement strategic or longterm investment decisions, and an equal share report that they use ETFs for both tactical and strategic purposes. Greenwich Associates asked the institutions participating in the survey to name the providers they use for ETFs. The results revealed the following: ishares/blackrock is by far the most widely used provider of ETFs among United States institutions; and Core/satellite Rebalancing Portfolio completion ETF overlay Most institutions that employ ETFs use more than one provider: 89 of institutional ETF users obtain ETFs from ishares/blackrock, whereas 6 use SPDRs/State Street and 5 use Vanguard. Other Plan sponsors Money managers. Greenwich Associates surveyed United States pension funds, endowments, foundations, and money managers that identified themselves as ETF users. Seventy institutions participated in the survey, including plan sponsors and 7 money managers. The survey was conducted from 8 March to 6 March.. Based on responses from 7 United States plan sponsors and money managers using ETFs. Source Greenwich Market Pulse ETFs.

94 ETFs gain foothold in institutional market (continued) Institutions cite a range of criteria used in selecting an ETF provider. In addition to the obvious consideration of fees, institutions rank four factors as particularly important in selecting an ETF provider: liquidity, benchmark, the track record of the fund, and reputation of the company behind the fund. Expected change in asset allocation to ETFs Increase > Almost 55 of institutions currently employing ETFs expect their usage of the product to increase in the next three years, including nearly that expect the amount of assets dedicated to ETFs to grow by 5 in that period. Money managers are slightly more apt to predict an increase in use: approximately 65 expect to be devoting more assets to ETFs in the next months, compared with half of plan sponsors. About of plan sponsors expect to reduce their use of ETFs. Increase 5 Increase No change 8 5 Nearly of institutions that do not use ETFs say they lack familiarity with the product. Decrease (8) One way to address this lack of information would be for providers to win over investment consultants, who would then be in a position to explain the product to their institutional clients as both a tool for tactical adjustments and a means of obtaining desired exposures. Decrease 5 (5) The results of this recent Greenwich Market Pulse suggest that many investment consultants are not currently recommending ETFs or even initiating discussions with their clients about the product.
