1 FA AR ALTERNATIVE INCOME FUND *For professional investors only - Not for onwards distribution A MULTI STRATEGY APPROACH THAT YIELDS TO YOUR INCOME NEEDS OCTOBER 2012 DIVIDENDS AND COMPOUNDING: THE EIGhTH WONDER OF THE WORLD ARIA and ARIA Capital Management are trading names of Absolute Return Investment Advisers (ARIA) Ltd.
2 The Importance of Income There s no shortage of research to demonstrate how long-run returns are influenced by the reinvestment of dividends. 100,000,000 This is because the reinvestment of modest dividend amounts can soon grow to become a dominant part of the total return. 10,000,000 1,000,000 Inflation 2.2% pa Indeed, those stocks that are able to offer a consistent and rising level of dividend tend to strongly outperform during periods of flat stock market performance, and as a result of investor demand for income particularly when interest rates globally are at historically low levels. 100,000 10,000 1,000 Dividends 4.8% pa Capital Growth 2.2% pa The following chart breaks down total return into its known components, and shows the importance of income over the long run.

3 Asset Class Universe POTENTIAL ASSET CLASS EXPOSURE Yielding Asset Classes Risk/Return Spectrum Lowest Risk/ Expected Return (within fixed income universe) Inflation-Linked Bonds (eg. TIPs) Global Government Bonds Senior Rated Loans Investment Grade Bonds High Yield Bonds Infrastructure Real Estate Convertibles and Mezzanine Debt At any one time, the Fund will seek to adjust its exposure to those asset classes offering the best risk adjusted returns. For example, currently whilst government bonds may not offer attractive yields when viewed from a historical perspective, given the Fund s capital preservation priorities, it may be advantageous to increased exposure to them during a flight to quality, as they are often considered safe havens when panic sets in. Equity income will constitute an important contributor to returns, typically focusing on large cap value orientated plays which have historically demonstrated increasing dividends.

Past performance is not a guide to future returns.
5 THE HISTORY OF INTEREST RATES Interest rates are the dominant factor in determining the path of credit markets over the medium to long term over this timeframe, interest rates are almost certain to rise. Over the past10 years, quantitative easing by central banks has kept interest rates artificially low; as these easing programmes are reduced, interest rates should start to increase and normalise. Falling Rates A 30-Year Tailwind for Bond Returns Long-term treasury rates since 1871 (%) One also needs to view the current interest rate environment in the context of long-term historical patterns. The following chart shows that current yields are near the interest rate lowest levels in 140 years, levels achieved at only one other time in the aftermath of the Great Depression. Whilst we view rate rises as unlikely, in the short term, rising rates will eventually hit prices of fixed income investments. Therefore, the ability to move to other yielding asset classes will be critical, particularly those that can perform against a backdrop of rising rates or inflationary pressures Oct 2010 Source: Robert Shiller long-term interest rate series through 1961, Federal Reserve 10-year constant maturity series beginning 1962, as at Oct Past performance is not a guide to future returns.
6 Flexible Asset Allocation: Correlation analysis At a point in the economic cycle where the economy and most financial assets are recovering, the opportunity in the credit space would generally be focused on securities which provide some of the upside of equities. Without being affected by rising interest rates examples would include convertible bonds and mezzanine debt (the coupon on mezzanine is typically LIBOR linked). Most investors fixed income exposures are there to provide a counterbalance to the risks and volatility of equities, so adding credit securities with a high correlation to equities may not be a desirable option. The FA AR Alternative Income Fund however seeks to provide an all terrain income orientated portfolio.

7 The Investment Case for Senior Loans Correlations with Inflation (since 1980) This table shows how senior loans have had the highest correlation with inflation The growing wealth of emerging markets has pushed up wages and the prices of commodities in those countries, thus increasing input costs for developed countries as well, contributing to the rising inflationary pressures we are currently witnessing. It s interesting to note how over the long term, equity markets do not seem to offer a good inflation hedge.

A macro currency overlay is another tool at our disposal. Exposing the Fund to high grade investment bonds, whilst varying its exposure to safe haven assets, should contribute to a lower volatility profile.
11 performance and investment profile suitability* of FA AR ALTERNATIVE INCOME Strongly rising stock prices OR Strongly falling stock prices Likely to Underperform stock markets Potential to Outperform May be suitable for investors With a long-term investment time horizon Seeking a quarterly income Looking for some long-term growth potential Comfortable with the risks associated with an equity based investment. Not suitable for investors Requiring capital security Looking for short-term returns Uncomfortable with the level of risk associated with equity based investment Looking for a fixed quarterly income. * Please note the above is a general view of the Fund and its suitability. Each potential investors suitability is dependant on the investors personal circumstances.
12 CONCLUSION more money has been lost reaching for yield than at the point of a gun Ray DeVoe, Legg Mason We believe that investors need to rebalance their portfolios away from securities with high duration risk arising due to the potential for increasing interest rates and inflation in the overall economy. At times, the Fund may wish to benefit from the equity upside from the economic recovery, in which case they should target convertibles. Ray DeVoe of Legg Mason Wood Walker said after the bond market meltdown in 1994 that more money has been lost reaching for yield than at the point of a gun. Investor s search for higher yields and higher returns often leads them to take a disproportionate amount of risk and causes them to lose money when a safer, lower return is available. The Fund aims to provide safer return while managing risk. in summary SECURITY BENEFITS DRAWBACKS WHEN TO INVEST TIPS (inflation linked treasury) Government Bonds Senior Loans Inflation-linked, governmentbacked credit rating Government-backed credit rating, low default rates Interest rate protection, same credit rating as high yield but higher up the capital structure Low yields, which declines further when inflation declines Low yields Lower yields, callable at par at any time In declining interest rate or rising inflation rate environments When interest rates peak, recessionary environments Before interest rate increases High Yield Bonds High return when prices are stable Higher default risk, lower recovery rates on defaults Before periods of fast dropping default rates and during periods of fast growth Convertibles and Mezzanine Equity option, mezzanine has interest rate protection Lower recovery rate when defaulted, expensive for borrowers so limited depth of market Before periods of growth and inflation Source: Dexion Capital, March 2011

15 RISK WARNINGS The target yield expected is not guaranteed and may change any time without notice. Telephone calls are recorded to ensure compliance with our legal and regulatory obligations and internal policies. The information in this document is based on our understanding of law and regulation at the time of print and is subject to change. The value of investments and the income from them may fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Please note that bond funds may not behave like direct investments in the underlying bonds themselves. By investing in bond funds the certainty of a fixed income for a fixed period with a fixed return of capital are lost. Investments in smaller companies may involve a higher degree of risk as small cap markets tend to be much more volatile than their larger capitalisation counterparts. Investments may be concentrated in any one country, sector or issuer. The Fund may have a significant exposure to high yield bonds, emerging market bonds or non investment grade or unrated bonds at any time. Non investment grade bonds may increase the risk to capital. ARIA and ARIA Capital Management are trading names of Absolute Return Investment Advisers (ARIA) Ltd. Issued by Absolute Return Investment Advisers (ARIA) Ltd which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. Investment is subject to documentation (Prospectus, Simplified Prospectus and Terms and Conditions), copies of which can be obtained from ARIA, 4 Duke Street, Richmond, Surrey TW91HP Derivatives may be used to achieve Fund objectives and allocations may vary significantly over time. The yield or the capital value of the Fund (or both) can fluctuate and investors may not get back their original investment. In the case of a new Fund, there is a risk that if the anticipated size of the Fund is not achieved, the proportion of charges and expenses allocated to the investment may be higher and the value of the investment consequently reduced. Please note that investments in foreign markets are subject to special currency, political, and economic risks. Exchange rates may cause the value of underlying overseas investments to go down or up. Investments in emerging markets may be more volatile than other markets and the risk to capital is therefore greater. Also, the economic and political situations may be more volatile than in established economies and these may adversely influence the value of investments made.
