10 Traditional multi asset approaches A well trodden path

11 Traditional multi asset investing Investing in asset classes has risks Asset classes can be driven by the similar factors Correlations between asset classes change daily Traditional asset allocation may not provide the diversification benefits hoped for 11

12 An alternative approach to multi asset Investing in ideas

21 Good risk management essential to smooth the path

22 Derivatives are an important tool to access different return streams Derivatives allow investors to take pinpoint exposure in markets Using derivatives can change the payout profile of an investment Derivatives can provide downside as well as upside protection Illustrating an asymmetric payoff structure Chart: For Illustrative purposes only. The dark blue line shows a payoff structure that has cushioned downside risk versus the light blue line. 22

25 Conclusion There are always storms on the horizon therefore we believe a balanced approach to protecting capital whilst aiming to generate returns is needed at all times Asset class labels can restrict an investor s ability to seek out consistent return opportunities and do not always provide diversification for a multi asset portfolio Investing in ideas rather than asset classes provides an alternative approach to a dual risk and return target through building a well diversified portfolio 25

26 Important information This presentation is for Professional Clients only and is not for consumer use. Please do not redistribute. Past performance is not a guide to future returns. Where Richard Batty has expressed opinions, they are based on current market conditions and are subject to change without notice. These opinions may differ from those of Invesco investment professionals. The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Where securities are mentioned in this document they do not necessarily represent a specific portfolio holding and do not constitute a recommendation to purchase or sell. The Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund makes significant use of financial derivatives (complex instruments) which will result in the fund being leveraged and may result in large fluctuations in the value of the fund. Leverage on certain types of transactions including derivatives may impair the fund s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at unfavourable times or otherwise cause the fund not to achieve its intended objective. Leverage occurs when the economic exposure created by the use of derivatives is greater than the amount invested resulting in the fund being exposed to a greater loss than the initial investment. The fund may be exposed to counterparty risk should an entity with which the fund does business become insolvent resulting in financial loss. This counterparty risk is reduced by the Manager, through the use of collateral management. The securities that the fund invests in may not always make interest and other payments nor is the solvency of the issuers guaranteed. Market conditions, such as a decrease in market liquidity for the securities in which the Fund invests, may mean that the Fund may not be able to sell those securities at their true value. These risks increase where the Fund invests in high yield or lower credit quality bonds and where we use derivatives. For the most up to date information on our funds, please refer to the relevant fund and share class-specific Key Investor Information Documents, the Supplementary Information Document, the Annual or Interim Short Reports and the Prospectus, which are available using the contact details shown.
