9 UBAM Report of the Board of Directors 1. MANAGER'S REPORT 1.1 Retrospective on financial markets Global growth driven by consumer spending As 2015 began, observers were confident that US and European monetary policy would diverge, and that is indeed what happened, particularly at the end of the year when the Fed raised interest rates. The other major theme of 2015, which was less predictable, was the divergence between manufacturing and consumer spending in almost all of the world's regions. US manufacturing is highly exposed to the oil sector and was badly hurt by the slump in the oil price, as well as by the strong dollar. That was reflected by the decline in business confidence in the manufacturing sector, especially in the second half of the year. After a tough start to the year, once again caused by very harsh weather conditions, it became clear that US consumer spending was being supported by a very buoyant labour market. The US unemployment rate fell from 5.7% in January to 5% in December. Although wages did not rise much in nominal terms, improving consumer confidence, lower petrol prices and realestate wealth effects prompted Americans to spend money, on new cars for example. Overall, US GDP growth in 2015 was very similar to the 2014 figure at around 2.5%. The eurozone has very little exposure to the oil sector and benefited greatly from lower energy prices, which boosted real incomes and therefore consumer spending. In addition, the European manufacturing sector, helped by a significantly weaker euro, coped admirably with the Greek crisis and the slowdown in emerging markets. As in previous years, the outlook for most emerging countries worsened as the year wore on. The Brazilian and Russian economies were badly affected by falling commodity prices and were mired in deep recession. However, observers focused mainly on activity levels in China, where consumer spending and the service sector were also strong, allowing growth to stabilise at just below 7%. Like many central banks around the world, the People's Bank of China worked hard to support growth and boost inflation by cutting policy interest rates and the bank reserve ratio several times, as well as taking other more targeted measures. As expected, the ECB finally decided in January to launch a real quantitative easing programme of its own, extending its asset purchases to sovereign bonds. The ECB's communication task was more difficult in the second half, since Mario Draghi's emphasis on the inflation and growth risks stemming from emerging markets prompted investors to raise their expectations about what the ECB would do in December. In the end, the markets were disappointed with the ECB's actions, which consisted of cutting its deposit rate by 10bp to 0.3% and extending its asset purchase programme until spring The Fed prepared the markets for an initial rate hike as early as the spring, but it did not happen even in September, mainly because the market had a major bout of nerves following the surprise devaluation of China's currency in the middle of the quiet summer period. For once, the Swiss National Bank sprang the year's biggest surprise, scrapping its floor EUR/CHF rate and cutting its key interest rate by 50bp to 0.75%, just a few days before the ECB's meeting in January. By contrast, monetary policy remained unchanged at the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England. Bond markets: investors focusing on central banks Despite diverging monetary policies, bond yields in the world's various regions remained closely in step. The ECB's announcement of a QE programme contributed heavily to a sharp fall in developedcountry yields at the start of the year. In midapril, German yields were negative for maturities of up to eight years. The prospect of a rate hike in the USA and an improving economic outlook in the eurozone then pushed yields higher, and they remained broadly stable in the second half of the year. Overall, yield movements in 2015 were very small. German 10year yields rose from 0.5% in January to 0.6% in December and US 10year yields from 2.2% to 2.3%. This led to very limited returns for sovereign bonds in Germany (0.3% according to BofA ML indexes) and the USA (0.8%). For outperformance, investors had to look to debt in peripheral countries (+3.8%) and, highly unexpectedly, Switzerland (+2.6%). Corporate bonds suffered from wider credit spreads. Although widening was moderate for investmentgrade paper, returns were very slightly negative in both EUR (0.4%) and USD (0.6%). However, US highyield bonds, which are heavily exposed to the oil and gas sector, saw risk premiums rise sharply and posted a return of 4.6%. Dollardenominated bonds Page 9

10 UBAM Report of the Board of Directors (continued) issued by emergingmarket governments and companies were highly resilient given the circumstances and delivered a return of just over 1% on average. Currencies and commodities Another major theme of 2015 was clearly the strong dollar. The dollar rose 9% against a basket of other major currencies. As a result the euro fell 10% against the dollar, but many commodity currencies fell even further, examples being the Canadian dollar (16%), the Russian rouble (16%) and the Brazilian real (33%). The yen, meanwhile, was almost unchanged, while sterling was down only 6%. Finally, despite shooting up by around 20% against all currencies on 15 January, the Swiss franc ended the year almost unchanged against the dollar, close to parity. As everyone will remember, there were a few days in 2015 when a Swiss franc was worth more than a euro, but the euro then rallied to around CHF1.05 in late January and stabilised at around CHF1.09 in the second half of Because of oil's major economic and financial implications, investors paid very close attention to oil prices, which hit their lowest level since The Brent crude price fell 35% during 2015 and the WTI price 31%. However, almost all commodity prices fell sharply, mainly because of the strong dollar, concerns about the Chinese economy, excessive supply in many cases and oilspecific geopolitical factors. The general slide also affected the gold price, which fell 10% despite the significant increase in geopolitical risk and terrorist attacks around the world. Equity markets: almost unchanged The MSCI All Country World index went almost nowhere in 2015 as a whole, posting a gain of 1.3% in localcurrency terms with net dividends reinvested. However, this ignores the frequent market dips during the year. In particular, the latest flareup in the Greek crisis took place in early summer, followed by concern about China in August, which was also the month when the VIX index hit its highest level since 2008 on the back of serious worries about the world economy. Then, fears about the fundamentals of certain companies, particularly in the auto sector, arose in September. On the plus side, the eurozone market (+9.8% for the MSCI index) and Japan (+9.9%) outperformed strongly and the Swiss market (+1.2%) recovered from a disastrous start to the year. Although certain flagship US tech stocks posted extraordinary gains, such as Amazon (+118%) and Netflix (+134%), the return from the US market as a whole was only just positive (+0.7%), and even then only because of dividends was not kind to emerging markets, which posted a 5.8% decline in localcurrency terms and 14.9% in dollars, substantially underperforming developed markets for the third straight year. Given the major concern about the Chinese economy, investors kept a particularly close eye on the swings in the Shanghai Composite index, which was up 60% in midjune before losing more than 40% in two and a half months, ending the year with an overall gain of 9%.

15 UBAM Report of the Board of Directors (continued) 1.2. Outlook 2016 outlook: growth likely to stabilise but numerous risks remain Global growth is likely to be between 3% and 3.5% in 2016, maintaining the pace seen in late The upturn in developed countries in 2015 is likely to continue, and activity levels in emergingmarket countries should stabilise after a difficult year. However, major risks remain: the geopolitical situation remains highly uncertain, particularly in the Middle East, and there is a busy political schedule in developed countries, including the US presidential election and a likely EU membership referendum in the UK. These factors could significantly affect the growth scenario. Developed countries have the best prospects, and should achieve growth of 2%, up from 1.9% in 2015 and 1.7% in That growth will be driven mainly by domestic demand, and consumer demand in particular, supported by job creation, lower unemployment and rising incomes. However, business investment, the realestate sector and global trade are likely to provide greater support across the various regions, so that economies will be less dependent on consumer spending alone. Among developed countries, the recovery taking place in the eurozone and Japan should continue. With monetary policy still very loose and fiscal policy easier than in recent years, growth is likely to be 1% in Japan and 1.7% in the eurozone. The USA and UK should post growth of around 2.5% in 2016, very close to their figures for Both the USA and UK are further along the economic cycle than other developed countries and their economic policies are likely to provide less stimulus. The growth outlook for 2016 in emerging economies remains uncertain. Low commodity prices, the normalisation of US official interest rates and a lack of structural reform will remain serious drags on many countries, putting their currencies and external balances under pressure. We are likely to continue seeing major differences between countries that export and those that import commodities. In addition, slowing growth is creating fears that the sharp rise in credit levels since 2008 could cause a financial crisis. This is also the case in China, even though growth there is likely to stabilise between 6% and 6.5% due to various industryspecific support plans and measures to loosen monetary policy, both past and expected. In these circumstances, inflation is likely to remain low. In developed countries, the low base for comparison caused by the oil price slump in 2015 will automatically push inflation higher in early 2016, but the underlying price trend remains moderate. In the USA, inflation is likely to move close to the 2% level expected by the Fed, while in the eurozone it should remain between 1% and 1.5%, below the centralbank target range. Despite sharply lower unemployment rates in some countries the USA, the UK, Germany and Japan wage growth is likely to remain limited, although some bouts of upward pressure could occur in Monetary policies should continue to diverge, possibly at a faster pace than before. Policies are likely to fall into two camps: gradual tightening in the USA, the UK (provided economic figures remain in line with central bank forecasts) and some Latin American countries, and further loosening in the eurozone, Japan and Asia. As a result, the financial markets will probably remain volatile. However, we believe that the outlook is good for risk assets, particularly equities. Earnings growth should be in line with expected economic growth, i.e. between 5% and 7% globally. We still believe that developed countries represent the best market opportunities because of their recovering economies, support from economic policy, M&A activity and ongoing share buybacks. The consumer goods, technology and healthcare sectors should continue to outperform over the medium term. More broadly, we still favour new technologies and growth stocks, even though valuations are high in some cases. Corporate bonds are still more attractive than government bonds in our view. The yields on government paper are low because of unconventional monetary policies, but bond yields could rise slightly given that growth is strengthening. In the credit segment, we regard spreads on US highyield paper as excessively wide given likely moderate growth in the US economy, despite the segment's heavy exposure to the oil and gas sector. Page 15

16 UBAM Report of the Board of Directors (continued) Diverging monetary policies should support the dollar against other currencies, but exchange rates will remain volatile and still highly dependent on comments by central bank officials. Finally, returns from gold look likely to be modest, unless we see a strong increase in geopolitical and systemic risk. Page 16
