Deutsche Bank Markets Research North America United States Synthetic Equity & Index Strategy Date 18 November 2016 US Equities remain top destination for ETF flows post US election (Update 1) US Equity ETFs received largest 7day inflows on record (~$40bn) after the US election ETF investors have poured $39.4bn inflows into US equity vehicles following the US election, this is not just a large number but it is also its largest 7day inflow run on record in absolute terms. In the meantime, EM equity ETF flows continued in reversal mode with outflows reaching $2.1bn since the election. On the other hand, ETF flows in other DM outside the US began to shift directions with Japan ($0.7bn) and DM Intl ($0.7bn) receiving inflows, and European outflows flattening. Sebastian Mercado, CFA Strategist +12122508690 In the US, Large Cap ($26.2bn), Small Cap ($6.9bn), Financials ($6.9bn), Health Care ($3.1bn), and Industrials ($3.1bn) remain top inflow destinations This week, Large Cap ETFs continued receiving strong inflows totaling $26.2bn since the election, while Small Cap ETFs slowed down their asset gathering capabilities this week adding only $1.0bn since last Friday for a total of $6.9bn since Nov 8. Among US sector ETFs, Financials ($6.9bn), and Industrials ($3.1bn) continued receiving large new allocations both in absolute and relative to assets terms, however Health Care flows have remained flat since last Friday; Financials and Industrials have been the best performing sectors since the election advancing 10.9%, and 5.3%, respectively. Within Financials, and Health Care, we highlight Banks which continued to add inflows (+$1.2bn flow, +15.0% returns) and Biotechnology which remained mostly flat since last Friday (+$1.4bn flow, +10.3% returns), respectively. On the flip side, bond substitutes (Dividend, Real Estate, Utilities, Cons. Staples) which initially experienced outflows began to reverse that trend and received inflows this week. Lastly, Low Risk ETF flows continued on the weak side totaling outflows of almost $0.5bn. Outflows among EM Debt, and Gold ETFs continued this week outside equities Since last Friday, EM Debt and Gold ETF outflows continued this week adding to a total of $1.0bn and $2.0bn since the election, respectively. Meanwhile Corporate HY ETF flows turned negative, and Corporate IG ETF flows flattened. Furthermore, the flow trend for Inflation ETFs still continues on its preelection path, and totaled inflows of $0.4bn since the election. On the other hand, Rates seem to have begun to experienced weakness across the board with flows turning negative across all terms since the election.

In addition, the undersigned lead analyst(s) has not and will not receive any compensation for providing a specific recommendation or view in this report. Sebastian Mercado Hypothetical Disclaimer Backtested, hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record based on trading actual client portfolios, simulated results are achieved by means of the retroactive application of a backtested model itself designed with the benefit of hindsight. Taking into account historical events the backtesting of performance also differs from actual account performance because an actual investment strategy may be adjusted any time, for any reason, including a response to material, economic or market factors. The backtested performance includes hypothetical results that do not reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings or the deduction of advisory fees, brokerage or other commissions, and any other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid. No representation is made that any trading strategy or account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different results and prove to be more appropriate. Past hypothetical backtest results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the analysis. Equity rating key Buy: Based on a current 12 month view of total shareholder return (TSR = percentage change in share price from current price to projected target price plus projected dividend yield ), we recommend that investors buy the stock. Sell: Based on a current 12month view of total shareholder return, we recommend that investors sell the stock Hold: We take a neutral view on the stock 12months out and, based on this time horizon, do not recommend either a Buy or Sell. Newly issued research recommendations and target prices supersede previously published research.

Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who is long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a loss. Page 8

The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation (including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed income instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates these are common in emerging markets. It is important to note that the index fixings may by construction lag or mismeasure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to track. The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically shortdated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is also important to acknowledge that funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are denominated carries FX risk. Naturally, options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to the risks related to rates movements. Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including, among others, market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk. The appropriateness or otherwise of these products for use by investors is dependent on the investors' own circumstances including their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and liabilities, and as such, investors should take expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar to or inspired by the contents of this publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can be substantial. As a result of the high degree of leverage obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be incurred that are greater than the amount of funds initially deposited. Trading in options involves risk and is not suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option investors must review the "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, at http:// www.optionsclearing.com/about/publications/characterrisks.jsp. If you are unable to access the website please contact your Deutsche Bank representative for a copy of this important document. Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including the following: ( i) exchange rates can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; ( ii) the value of currencies may be affected by numerous market factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity and debt markets and changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government imposed exchange controls which could affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are affected by the currency of an underlying security, effectively assume currency risk. Unless governing law provides otherwise, all transactions should be executed through the Deutsche Bank entity in the investor's home jurisdiction.
