1 Value Creation with ETFs: Case Study Graham Westmacott MBA, CFA Portfolio Manager ETF Summit, Toronto 3 rd October 2018
2 Current State vs Future State: ETFs alone are not enough Not drowning. But waving.
3 The Big Picture Value creation for clients requires: A shift from portfolio alpha to advisor alpha Mass customisation that focuses on client s goals and delivers a consistent client experience Sources: Mass Customisation versus Mass Production in Retirement Investment Management, Lionel Martellini & Vincent Milhau, 2017 Noise: How to Overcome the High, Hidden Cost of Inconsistent Decisions Making, Daniel Kahneman, Andrew R Rosenfield, Linnea Gandhi and Tom Blaser,2016
4 Improving the Signal to Noise ratio ETF tracking error is biased (e.g. fees) and noisy (e.g. mostly everything else) But small compared to advisor tracking error: Your had lunch with your favourite fund salesperson You delegated the portfolio design You last ate six hours ago You are late for your child s hockey game Bias Noise
5 Some ETF Housekeeping items Fees (MERs and TERs) Tracking Error Trading Practices Index quirks Reconstitution Effects Currency hedging
6 The anxiety of simplicity Build me a portfolio of interesting ideas backed by original research. It does not take much to tell me to buy an ETF or to design a 60/40 asset allocation Client quote from Sarah Grillo, CFA. Advisor Perspective, 18 th July 2018
7 And Yet.. The nastiest, hardest problem in finance William Sharpe, 1990 Nobel prize for economics, on decumulation in retirement, June 2017 Image Source:
8 Alice & Bob Contemplate Retirement Alice (age 62), Bob (age 62) Retire at end of 2018 Investment Capital Owner Account Market Value Alice RRSP $240,000 Alice TFSA $60,000 Bob LIRA $300,000 Bob RRSP $400,000 Alice/Bob Investment $500,000 Total $1,500,000 Source: Morningstar Direct, PWL Capital
9 Alice s & Bob s perspective They don t understand how current holdings deliver their income goals: Required Real Income: $35,000 Desired Real Income: $52,500, after fees. Bob worries about spending too little, Alice worries about spending too much. What is a safe withdrawal? Focused on asset volatility rather than income security Concerned about fees (as a measure of value) Concerned about tax (over time and across accounts)
10 Tax (I): The Capital Gains Trap 100% 90% 80% 70% Example: Cumulative Portfolio Value & Capital Gains 60% 50% 40% Portfolio Capital Gain 30% 20% 10% 0% % of capital gains concentrated in 5 stocks! Use ETFs to systematically harvest capital losses and defer capital gains Source: PWL Capital
11 Tax(II): Withholding Taxes (WHT) WHT can be more of a performance drag (~0.30%) than ETF fees. US-listed ETFs have a tax advantage in RRSPs but incur currency conversion costs. Avoid Canadian-listed ETFs that hold U.S. ETFs of international stocks in registered accounts. Source:

14 Safe Withdrawal:3.5%? $2,000,000 $1,800,000 $1,600,000 $1,400,000 $1,200,000 $1,000,000 $800,000 $600,000 $400,000 $200,000 Portfolio Value: Impact of Fees $ Average Worst Best Average+0.5% Worst+0.5% Best+0.5% Source: PWL Capital
15 The challenge: secure stable income from volatile assets Maximize lifetime withdrawal (ARVA) Safe withdrawal is a function of: Portfolio Value Time to Go (Mortality) Real interest rates Minimize risk of income shortfall (ALM) Use bond ETFs to match future liability Partial hedge against interest rate changes Smooth income variability Source: The Only Spending Rule Article You Will Ever Need, M.Barton Waring and Laurence B. Siegel, FAJ, Vol 71, 2015
16 The Retirement Income Process Retirement Plan T, X Retirement Plan Required Income Desired Income Desired Income Security Portfolio Growth Portfolio Dynamic Spending Rule Required Income Total Return Cash Client Security Portfolio Duration Matching Dynamic asset allocation Bond ETFs Growth Portfolio Diversified Long Horizon Positive real return Bond/equity mix
17 Alice & Bob s: Income Goals Required Income: $35,000 Desired Income: $52,500 Assets last until age 95 (with mortality weighted residual) $120,000 $100,000 $80,000 Projected Withdrawals $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 $0 Average Worst Best Required Age Source: PWL Capital

30 Optimal Asset Allocation for Retirement Success Given annual savings and retirement spending over a specified period, what is the optimal investment strategy that maximizes success?
31 Optimal Lifecycle Asset Allocation Method Terminal Wealth (thousand $) Terminal Standard Deviation (thousand $) 5% CVAR (thousand $) Stocks = 35% Target Date Stocks = 55% Stocks = 75% Optimal Control Source: Forsyth, P., Vetzal, K. and Westmacott, G. (2018) in preparation Example: Joe, age 50, retires age 65. Initial capital, $500K. Invest $20K(real) for 15 years, spend $40K(real) for 30 years. Two-security portfolio: risk free asset, risky asset (global index fund)
32 The optimal asset allocation is an output not an input. 100% 90% Optimal Control: Fraction in Risk Free Asset Asset allocation determined by time to go and minimize quadratic deviation from target. 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% Retirement Median 5th Percentile Easily implemented using ETFs. Mass customization of the retirement problem? 0% Age (years) Source: Forsyth, P., Vetzal, K. and Westmacott, G. (2018) in preparation
