1 RESEARCH PORTFOLIO STRATEGY & RESEARCH GROUP SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 Listed Investment Companies AUSTRALIA EWA TUREK Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Research MALCOLM WOOD Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Research SZE CHUAH Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Research In Vogue: Listed Investments Meeting Investor Demand for Listed Investments: Year to date, six new funds have listed on the ASX, taking the total number of exchange listed investment companies (LICs) to 60 and the market capitalisation of the space to ~$25.7 billion. The LIC market is set to continue to grow with the IPO pipeline showing no signs of slowing. Absolute Return Equity Strategies: With continued growth in the LIC space we add two new funds to our coverage, both of which offer investors an alternative to traditional long-only Australian equity exposure. Watermark Funds Management: We initiate coverage on the Watermark Market Neutral Fund (WMK), a market neutral domestic equities fund, with a Neutral weighting; and the Australian Leaders Fund (ALF), a variable beta fund, with an Underweight weighting. These weightings are driven by the MSWM LIC Quantitative Model. MSWM Recommended List: We add CDM and MLT to our recommended domestic equity exposure and, following strong performance, remove PMC from our core international equity exposure.

2 In Vogue: Listed Investments Listing on the ASX is gaining popularity as fund managers respond to growing investor demand for easily accessible investments. Year to date, six new funds have listed on the ASX, taking the total number of exchange listed investment companies (LICs) to 60 and the market capitalisation of the space to ~$25.7 billion (Figure 2). The LIC market is set to grow with the IPO pipeline showing no signs of slowing. This is good news for investors. For a start, half the funds to list this year have been in an asset class other than the crowded Australian shares category, (Figure 3) and domestic focused listings all have mandates outside the S&P/ASX 20. As a result, these listings offer investors new opportunities to add diversification to their portfolios (e.g. Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund (BAF) invests in a portfolio of alternative assets and PM Capital Asian Opportunities Fund (PAF) provides investors access to Asian equity markets). With the continued growth in the LIC space we add two new funds to our coverage, both of which offer investors an alternative to traditional long-only Australian equity exposure. Figure 2: The Market Capitalisation of LICs has Grown to $25.7 billion Absolute Return Equity Strategies A market neutral strategy aims to generate investment returns that are independent of the market environment - this type of fund looks to deliver consistent returns over diverse market cycles. In order to cancel out the impact of market fluctuations the portfolio will have an allocation to both long and short equity positions (resulting in a market neutral portfolio). In aggregate, the dollar value of long positions tends to be roughly equal to the dollar value of short positions. When markets fall, the shorts will provide a hedge against losses in the long positions in the Portfolio. A long/short strategy is another type of absolute return strategy. The key difference between a market neutral and long/short strategy is that in a long/short strategy the manager will tend to take active views on the market resulting in an unequal allocation between long and short positions. Watermark Market Neutral Fund Limited (WMK) The Watermark Market Neutral Fund was listed on the ASX in July WMK is an active, market neutral domestic equities Fund with an average net exposure of no more than 10%. The investment mandate is to profit from the mispricing of domestic equities while limiting downside risk through the use of long/short hedging strategies. Although the Company mainly invests in ASX listed Securities, the Fund also has the ability to invest offshore. The Fund scores well on value in our quantitative model. However, due to underperformance relative to its benchmark over the past 12 months its performance score was low. We initiate coverage with a Neutral weighting. Australian Leaders Fund (ALF) Source: ASX, Morningstar. Data as at 31 August Figure 3: The Asset Class Spread of LICs is Gradually Becoming more Diversified ALF is a variable beta fund that can adjust its net exposure to reflect the Manager s outlook on markets. When the market is cheap the Fund may be fully invested with a net exposure of 100%, while when market conditions are viewed as unfavourable net exposure can be negative. The Fund has an investment objective of 5% outperformance above the ASX All Ordinaries index over the medium term. While long term returns have been solid, the Fund has struggled to add alpha over recent timeframes. The combination of underperformance and high NTA volatility has contributed to a weak performance score. Moreover, the Fund is also trading at a significant premium to NTA. We initiate coverage with an Underweight weighting. MSWM Recommended List Source: ASX, Morningstar. Data as at 31 August International Equity Exposure: In our June 2014 piece, The Case for International LICs, we put forward three arguments in favour of international LICs. Since then our recommended international equity LICs have significantly outperformed their Please refer to important information, disclosures and qualifications at the end of this material. 2
3 domestic equity counterparts (Figure 4). Following this strong run we make the following recommendations: Platinum Capital (PMC) Having made strong gains PMC is now trading at a large ~7.3% premium to NTA. As a result we take profits and remove the Fund from our recommended list. Templeton Global Growth (TGG) Despite slipping into the Quality quadrant of our model, we continue to recommend TGG for international LIC exposure. Given its unhedged nature we expect the Fund to benefit from a weakening AUD. Our core domestic and international equity exposures are summarised in Figure 5 below.

Data as at 25 September Australian Equity Exposure: Collectively, domestic LICs continue to trade at a premium to NTA. Given the general lack of value in the domestic market, we prefer those Funds which rank attractively within our quantitative model and trade at a relatively smaller premium to NTA. We add the following funds to our recommended list: Cadence Capital (CDM) CDM invests in both long and short positions (with a long bias) and aims to deliver solid risk adjusted returns through different cycles. Despite trading at a small premium to NTA the Fund screens attractively in our model. Milton Corporation (MLT) MLT is a long only active fund that invests predominantly in Australian equities. Given a high allocation to banks, the fund is well positioned for a rebound in this sector.

WIC's investment strategy is based on the medium to long-term investment of funds and is consequently not suitable where large non-investment cash flows occur on a regular basis.
