CAC 40 Performance DAX 30 Performance $Val Billions $Val Billions North American investments in CAC 40 vs. DAX 30 Ipreo analysed the aggregated trend of North American institutional ownership in CAC 40 companies over the period Q4 2011 to Q4 2015 using publicly available data, focusing on: Investment analysis by region and investment styles of investors Top holders, buyers and sellers Largest hedge fund ownership CAC 40 vs. DAX 30 North American investments in CAC 40 companies increased more than a third between Q4 2011 and Q4 2015, showing their fastest growth between Q4 2012 and Q4 2013 (+11%), in line with the CAC 40 (up 18% in the same period) if at a lower level. The CAC 40 index increased nearly 50% between Q4 2011 and Q4 2015 while remaining flat between Q4 2013 and Q4 2014, after experiencing a 35% increase between Q4 2011 and Q4 2013. The DAX 30 saw investments from North American institutions going up at a much lower rate during the same period (+10%), with the peak of the buying happening between Q4 2012 and Q4 2013 (+7%) following a slight 1% decline between Q4 2011 and Q4 2012. The DAX 30 index rose more than 50% over the same period.

New York and Toronto had the highest number of identified institutions using an active management style in Q4 2015, with 82 and 41 respectively, followed by Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco with more than 20 each. Index funds massively increased their exposure to CAC 40 companies, experiencing a 63% increase between Q4 2013 and Q4 2015. Two institutions largely contributed to this increase, The Vanguard Group and BlackRock Fund Advisors. Value investors reduced their investments by 8% between Q4 2014 and Q4 2015, while remaining the largest style identified in Q4 2015. Hedge funds saw a noticeable ownership increase between Q4 2014 and Q4 2015, with a total of $1.6B invested in CAC 40 companies in Q4 2015. The funds are for the most part based in Boston and New York. taken by any person as a result of any information contained herein. 2

$ Val Billions North American institutional ownership by region (active management) The Northeast and the Pacific Coast are by far the two largest regions invested in CAC 40 companies since 2011. New York and Los Angeles saw record investments in 2011, with more than $24B each. Boston overtook Los Angeles in 2013 and has since been the second largest city invested in the CAC 40 companies, with $27B in 2014, just behind New York with $31B. The major one third divestment from Los-Angeles based institution Capital World Investors since Q4 2011 ($10B invested in Q4 2015) partially explains this, on the back of buying from Boston-based Northern Cross ($8B invested in Q4 2015), MFS Investment Management ($7B) and Fidelity Management & Research Company ($3B). On the Pacific Coast, San Francisco has the highest exposure to CAC 40 companies just behind Los Angeles at $17B, with more than $8B. San-Francisco based Dodge & Cox ($6B) and Franklin Advisers ($1B) saw their investments multiplied by two or more times between Q4 2011 and Q4 2015, reaching their highest level in Q4 2015. In the Midwest, Chicago-based Harris Associates is by far the largest institution invested in CAC 40 companies with $5B in Q4 2015, having more than doubled their investments since Q4 2011. In Canada, TD Asset Management located in Toronto had invested the most in CAC 40 companies in Q4 2015 ($2B), increasing their investments eight fold since Q4 2011.

Value investors massively increased their investments in 2014 with $78B identified in total, and made up more than 46% of the total identified in 2013 and 2014, before moving down to 41% in 2015. This decline can be mainly attributed to selling from six institutions that were part of the top ten sellers overall in Q4 2015, among them Capital World Investors (- $2.3B), Grantham Mayo Van Otterloo & Co. (-$1.9B), MFS Investment Management (-$1.9B) and Northern Cross (-$1.1B). Index investors doubled their exposure to CAC 40 companies between 2013 and 2015, with The Vanguard Group ($19B in Q4 2015) and BlackRock Fund Advisors ($14B) among the largest institutions identified, both of which as a result were ranked among the top holders in Q4 2015. These two institutions were also ranked first and third respectively among the largest buyers identified between Q4 2014 and Q4 2015. Growth funds experienced a 5% increase between Q4 2013 and Q4 2015, with only two institutions being ranked among the top fifteen buyers in Q4 2015, TD Asset Management (+$1B) and Morgan Stanley Investment Management (+$640M). taken by any person as a result of any information contained herein. 5
