11 1. Approving ideas Idea 1: Diverging inflation Inflation US vs UK 1 Research Inflation expectations have moved significantly in the UK in response to the fall in sterling post the EU referendum. We think the level of inflation expectations have moved too far and are too high relative to the likely outcome for UK inflation going forward. In the US inflation expectations look too low for the likely continued pick-up in wages therefore we are long US inflation relative to UK inflation.

12 KRW billions Year on year growth % 1. Approving ideas Idea 2: Global competitiveness Currency Japanese Yen vs Korean Won 1 Research We favour the Japanese yen, a measurably cheap defensive currency relative to the Korean won which is yet to devalue and is expensive versus its trading partners. Policy in Japan appears to be edging away from outright currency devaluation and given high debt levels in South Korea there is pressure on policy makers to potentially ease policy further. The Japanese yen has started to appreciate versus the Korean won Debt levels have continued to rise in Korea, despite income growth rates declining Added to the fund 80 feb 14 feb 15 feb 16 Japanese yen vs US dollar Korean won vs US dollar Total household debt, lhs Household income, YoY Household loans, YoY Source: Bloomberg as at 31 December For illustrative purposes only.

13 1. Approving ideas Idea 3: Central bank policy Interest Rates European Curve Steepener 1 Research ECB policy is likely to stay anchored against a backdrop of subdued economic growth, therefore interest rates will stay low and QE is likely to continue. Against this policy backdrop the yield curve is likely to steepen as investors start to price reflation and a higher term premium. The spot curve has already steepened and we expect the forward curve to move in the same direction.

14 1. Approving ideas Idea 4: Strength of the corporate sector Equity European Divergence 1 Research There are signs of some economic recovery in Europe. Earnings are forecast to grow 6% and combined with a 4% yield suggest reasonable returns in European equities. We mirror the stock selection of two of our colleagues European equity strategies in segregated sleeves to add alpha to the beta of the idea. We also cushion the idea using volatility of Banks and the Swiss Market index.

15 Approving ideas Our central economic thesis 1 Research Challenging global growth may fragment Longer-term structural growth rates will remain subdued Possible fiscal boost to US economic growth while other headwinds remain Future growth momentum in Europe not helped by political uncertainty Policy effectiveness impacted by financial linkages, e.g. US dollar Official monetary and/or fiscal policy choices becoming more difficult Strains in funding markets already imply monetary tightening (e.g. EM) Lower trend growth and policy rates likely to cap the upside for bond yields Low inflation view being challenged Risk that wage, commodity and/or protectionism inflationary pressures persist Chinese liquidity measures a new source of upward pressure on inflation But disinflationary forces still in place e.g. debt overhang and Asian devaluation Select opportunities in risk assets Further equity and credit market returns dominated by income Seeking alternative return sources to reduce reliance on broad markets Diversified alpha as an additional source of value Uncertain macro environment to be reflected in higher volatility Conflict between cyclical and structural drivers will cause increased volatility Volatility likely from non-market forces (e.g. political uncertainty) Long-term impacts from the misallocation of capital (e.g. through leverage) Source: Invesco Perpetual as at 31 December For illustrative purposes only. 15

33 Removed idea: Currency Norwegian Krone vs UK Pound The Currency Norwegian Krone vs UK Pound initially saw declines due to the fall in oil prices. However, the idea contributed positively to the fund s performance in 2016 as oil prices recovered, boosting the Norwegian currency. At the same time, the pound has faltered pre and post the EU referendum. We review our investment ideas on a regular basis, and the decision was made to remove this idea as it reached its expected return.

34 Removed idea: Equity US Staples vs Discretionary The Equity US Consumer Staples vs Consumer Discretionary idea was removed from the portfolio in November After the US election results, the subsequent move in US 10 year Treasuries called into question the lower for longer view of yields in the US. While the team believes there are structural constraints on how high bond yields can go, the change in fundamentals and interest rate sensitivity of this idea provided rationale to remove the idea from the portfolio.

35 Removed idea: Interest Rates UK The Interest rates UK idea was based on a belief that real interest rates in the UK would rise. It had two components: UK interest rates and UK inflation. Post the EU referendum result UK bond yields fell as market participants downgraded their assessment of UK economic growth. The team reviewed the idea as it had started to underperform and made the decision to remove the interest rate component of the idea and isolate a view on UK inflation only. This is now embedded within the Inflation US vs UK idea.

36 Removed idea: Volatility Selective FX The Volatility Selective FX idea was based on the volatility of the euro rising relative to the volatility of sterling. However as uncertainty continued over the Brexit result, sterling remained very volatile. After a brief increase in the volatility of the euro the team decided to remove the idea from the portfolio as the central return expectation was downgraded and was not sufficient over our two- to three-year time horizon.

37 Index New/Removed idea: Interest Rates US Curve The Interest Rates US Curve idea was added to the portfolio in November 2016, but removed the following month. The idea performed well after a sharp sell-off in the belly of the curve (10-year Treasuries), relative to 5-year and 30-year Treasuries, following the Trump victory. However, this meant the idea s future return expectations were now too limited for inclusion in the fund.

38 New idea: Inflation US vs UK We believe the current inflation spike caused by sterling s fall in the UK is overdone. At the same time, we believe inflation expectations in the US are too modest, considering a continued pick-up in wages there. To implement this, we are buying a US inflation swap and selling the UK equivalent.

39 Major implementation changes of ideas Interest Rates Yield Compression (was Interest Rates US vs UK) We still believe US interest rates will converge towards UK interest rates but have added a position in Japanese rates. The US yield curve has steepened and if interest rates start to move back in line with their monetary policy cycles then the difference between long rates in the US versus the UK and Japan will converge, in our view. Inflation US vs UK We have changed the implementation of this investment idea to match the relative size of each leg of the idea. Interest Rates European Curve Steepener We have changed the implementation of this investment idea by buying 5-year forward interest rate swaps rather than 10-year interest rates and are selling 30-year forward interest rate swaps. The weight of the idea has also been increased. Interest Rates Australia vs US We have changed the implementation of this investment idea to remove the duration in the idea.

47 Cash management Invesco Global Liquidity Invesco Global Liquidity has US$84.1 billion in assets worldwide The senior investment team has worked together for over a decade The cash allocation pool will be invested in money market instruments The Global Liquidity team aims to achieve: Preservation of principal Liquidity Yield Credit risk is mitigated by investing in a portfolio of high quality and well diversified short-term debt instruments, supported by an independent credit approval and monitoring process. The approved list requires a minimum short-term credit rating of A1/P1/F1. Market risk is mitigated by limiting the weighted average maturity of the portfolio to a maximum of 60 days. Liquidity risk is mitigated by holding a high proportion of cash in overnight deposits and liquid money market securities. Where appropriate, high quality European bills may be used. The aim is to achieve a balance between liquidity and yield. Due to the use of commercial papers and certificates of deposit, the cash portfolio should generate a slightly higher yield than overnight deposits. Source: Invesco as at 31 December
