10 Investment process Unconstrained approach driven by best ideas Creating an inventory of approved ideas Constructing a robust diversified portfolio House View Idea Generation Idea Evaluation Idea Selection Portfolio Construction & Risk Implementation Global collaboration in idea generation Dedicated AIMS team managing the portfolio 10

11 The House View Harnessing our firm wide expertise in identifying macro themes Our central case across markets and key themes e.g.) Normalisation in inflation The House View defines: The key macro risks to the central case e.g.) Secular stagnation Global Investment Solutions Global Responsible Investment House View Forum Euan Munro, CEO, Chair Global Multi-assets Global Fixed Income Our global investment teams debate macro themes: Quarterly HV Forum - 1 full day Focus on key risks in separate sessions Starting point for investment teams to generate ideas Global Real Estate Global Equities The House View is driven: Bottom-up views from asset class specialists Top-down views from the multi-asset team 11

12 Idea generation Robust framework for assessing ideas Key criteria: Ideas are expected to perform positively in the context of the House View macro framework Ideas consistent with 3 year investment horizon Liquid & scalable Description of the opportunity What is the upside / downside return potential? Why is the opportunity available? What generic market circumstances will make or break this idea? What are the key idiosyncratic risk factors? Are there any ESG risk factors? Source: Aviva Investors.

15 Idea sizing Hypothetical example Pre-trade risk analysis example: Add 10yr Australian government bond to multi-strategy portfolio. SIG note indicated an expected return of 35 basis points if bond yields fell 1%. Start analysis by sizing the position to target 1 year of duration. Therefore, expect this position to deliver 35 basis points of expected return at portfolio level. Current Portfolio Whatif Portfolio Strategy Vol. Position Position Corr. Ex Corr. Corr. Ex Pos Vol. Corr. Removal Removal Pos Duration EM Debt 1.84% 0.64% 55% 12% 1.83% 0.69% 57% 14% 2.07% Europe Equity 1.31% 0.91% 78% 59% 1.31% 0.87% 75% 55% -0.07% Short GBP v USD 0.58% -0.09% -10% -23% 0.58% -0.08% -8% -21% 0.00% Global Equity 0.59% 0.37% 67% 58% 0.59% 0.36% 66% 56% 0.00% Australia rates 0.48% -0.05% -4% -15% 1.00% European inflation 0.44% 0.19% 48% 39% 0.43% 0.18% 47% 38% 0.00% Long USD v CNH 0.44% -0.09% -14% -25% 0.44% -0.08% -12% -23% 0.00% US Rates Volatility 0.38% -0.04% -6% -15% 0.38% -0.03% -4% -13% -0.37%. Total 13.77% 14.20% 1.58% Diversified Risk 4.13% 4.07% Diversification Benefit -9.64% % Is the new idea s risk level appropriate for a single idea? Volatility of 0.48% represents only 3.4% of undiversified risk of the portfolio. How does the new idea interact with the rest of the portfolio? Negative correlation of idea to pre-trade portfolio of -15% indicates strong diversification potential. What is the overall impact on the portfolio? Total portfolio risk falls to 4.07% from 4.13% after adding the idea to the pre-trade portfolio. Conclusion of pre-trade risk analysis: Sizing is reasonable but could be increased given strong diversification benefit to the overall portfolio. Qualitative analysis: Does the SIG note discuss the drivers of this diversification? Do we believe it is a reliable relationship? If so, re-run pre-trade risk for larger position size, and re-evaluate pre-trade risk analysis. Source: Aviva Investors. The data is for illustrative purpose only. 15
