How do we seek to do this? A pan-european equity long short fund: that combines a fundamental approach to stock selection while seeking to prevent capital losses during weak market conditions through the use of option strategies that has been producing annualised returns of 7.5% per annum Sharpe Ratio of 1.3 Past performance is no indication of current or future performance, doesn t take into account commissions and costs incurred on the issue/redemption of shares. Source: Morningstar/FE, Jupiter Asset Management as at 31.01.18. Note: Returns and risks based on the Jupiter Europa Fund L EUR A Acc share class over 5 years from 01.01.13 to 31.01.18. Gross income reinvested, net of fees in EUR. The Sharpe Ratio is calculated by dividing the fund s annualised excess returns over the risk free rate by its annualised standard deviation. Risk free rate used is 0%. 7

Edge 1 in theory Combining fundamentals with strategic value Fundamental-only funds Tend to dismiss strategic value as speculation rather than investment May miss out on opportunities Limit upside potential Reluctant to challenge management or work with other shareholders Access full value of investment Strategic value Fundamental value Putting fundamentals first allows you to patiently hold until strategic value is crystallised Event-only hedge funds Specifically not long-term investors Scarcity of events can lead to turning a blind eye to fundamental flaws Mandate problems Short holding periods Requires perfect timing Large downside risk Exposure to profit warnings The views expressed are those of the presenter at the time of preparation and may change in the future. 9

Edge 2 why could it be achieved? Actively managing options portfolio Naïve Out-of-the money options used as blunt instrument to reduce premium paid Long-dated options used with high premium paid justified as budgeted insurance cost No attempt to respond to market moves to manage volatility, time decay, etc. In response to well-known discrete events Sophisticated Combination of ATM and OTM used to optimise premium paid Short-dated options, regularly restruck in response to conditions Cost of strategy considered in terms of daily time decay rather than premium at outset Time decay of long put option positions on the index offset with positive theta from writing options on single-stock names Flexibility to switch between stocks and options as required Actively managing the Greeks at a portfolio level Theoretical illustrations 120 100 80 120 110 100 90 80 Naive, passive options strategy Put option, strike 100, premium 5 Underlying Day 1 Day 3 Day 5 Day 7 Day 9 Day 11 Day 13 Day 15 Day 17 Day 19 Day 21 Day 23 Day 25 Day 27 Day 29 Day 31 Sophisticated, active options strategy (but takes skill, attention, and time) Portfolio of options, frequently rebalanced Underlying Day 1 Day 3 Day 5 Day 7 Day 9 Day 11 Day 13 Day 15 Day 17 Day 19 Day 21 Day 23 Day 25 Day 27 Day 29 Day 31 The views expressed are those of the presenter at the time of preparation and may change in the future.
