CHOOSING THE RIGHT ETF

NEW MODEL ADVISER

LYXOR ETF

FOR FINANCIAL ADVISERS ONLY

Page 2: Nma pres final

We recommend that investors read carefully the “risk factors” section of the Fund’s prospectus and the relevant Key Investor

Information Document*.

Any investment in these Funds involves certain risks, the main risks are as follows:

» CAPITAL AT RISK: ETFs are tracking instruments: Their risk profile is similar to a direct investment in the Underlying Index. Investors’

capital is fully at risk and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

» REPLICATION RISK: The fund objectives might not be reached due to unexpected events on the underlying markets which will impact

the index calculation and the efficient fund replication.

» COUNTERPARTY RISK: Investors are exposed to risks resulting from the use of an OTC Swap with Societe Generale. In-line with

UCITS guidelines, the exposure to Societe Generale cannot exceed 10% of the total fund assets.

» UNDERLYING RISK: The Underlying Index of a Lyxor ETF may be complex and volatile. When investing in commodities, the Underlying

Index is calculated with reference to commodity futures contracts exposing the investor to a liquidity risk linked to costs such as cost of

carry and transportation. ETFs exposed to Emerging Markets carry a greater risk of potential loss than investment in Developed Markets

as they are exposed to a wide range of unpredictable Emerging Market risks.

» CURRENCY RISK: ETFs may be exposed to currency risk if the ETF is denominated in a currency different to that of the Underlying

Index they are tracking. This means that exchange rate fluctuations could have a negative or positive effect on returns.

» LIQIUIDITY RISK: Liquidity is provided by registered market-makers on the respective stock exchange where the ETF is listed, including

Societe Generale. On-exchange liquidity may be limited as a result of a suspension in the underlying market represented by the

Underlying Index tracked by the ETF; a failure in the systems of one of the relevant stock exchanges, Societe Generale or other market-

maker systems; or an abnormal trading situation or event. Trading prices will only be available in normal market conditions. For more

information regarding trading, please see the ‘Secondary Market’ section on page 31.

*The documentation (prospectus and Key Investor Information Documents) of the Funds are available upon request to Lyxor AM or on the

website www.sglistedproducts.co.uk. The prospectus of Lyxor Index Fund is only available in English.

» ETFs are used by all types of investor; from large institutions to individual retail clients

» As a passive tracking investment, the objective is simply to achieve the market return

» Creates a simple risk / reward profile; if the Index moves 5%, the ETF aims to move 5% too

» Covers the whole risk spectrum from Government Bonds to individual Emerging Markets

» Used for either capital growth (Capitalising ETFs), or income (Distributing ETFs)

» Advisers can diversify a portfolio to control risk and improve the potential for positive returns

» The idea is simple; by including different types of assets, regions or sectors in a portfolio you are

spreading risk and creating greater stability:

» As bonds fall equities and commodities may rise

» As Financial and IT stocks cool off, Utilities and other defensive stocks may benefit

» The right mix depends on investment horizon, risk profile, age and invariably, portfolio size

STEP 1: SELECT THE RIGHT INDEX

Page 8: Nma pres final

» With Active funds you buy the manager, with ETFs you buy the Index

» Take the well known FTSE 100 Index;

» 100 largest stocks listed on the LSE by market capitalisation

» Top 10 stocks are responsible for 43% of the performance

» Mainly Financials, Consumer Staples and Energy companies

» You typically have a choice of Indices – e.g US stockmarkets:

» Know what the Index does with dividends; most ETFs track Total

Return Indices which re-invest dividends. Price Return Indices don’t

» Check for currency risk; if the Index currency is different to the ETF

currency, the ETF performance is affected by changes in the

exchange rate between the two currencies

STEP 2: SELECT THE RIGHT ETF

12

Page 13: Nma pres final

PHYSICAL OR SYNTHETIC WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE ANYWAY?

The difference between Physical and Synthetic replication is not as great as

many might say

» Both start with a portfolio of physical assets, which is owned by the fund in a segregated account

» This means that regardless of what happens to the issuer of the fund, the assets can be sold in

order to re-pay investors in both cases

» Where the two types differ is in the role and composition of these physical assets;

» one uses the physical assets for performance (Physical),

» The other for security (Synthetic)

» The best way to track an index is a function of risk and reward

13

Page 14: Nma pres final

E.G. EUROPEAN GOVERNMENT BONDS

European government bonds are high quality

securities with good liquidity and offer limited

opportunity to enhance performance.

For this reason, we believe that the interests

of investors are better served by using a

“Physical Only” method.

PURE PHYSICAL REPLICATION WHEN SIMPLICITY IS KEY

Physical Funds purchase the stocks of the Benchmark Index in order to

create the performance of the fund

» As such, assets must be the same, or very similar to that of the Benchmark Index that they track

» This means that they work well for large, liquid markets where the component stocks or bonds

can be easily purchased and traded

» The ETF provider makes no attempt to optimise the fund’s performance or tracking

» As a result, the investor receives the “passed-through” performance of the fund’s underlying

assets, minus a deduction for fund expenses

14

Page 15: Nma pres final

E.G. EUROPEAN EQUITIES

Optimisation can be implemented

with equal effect through either

Securities Lending or a Synthetic

ETF structure. In the case of the

Euro STOXX 50 index, the

additional gains from optimising

aspects such as dividend tax can

be as much as 0.40%, twice the

average TER

PHYSICAL REPLICATION WITH SECURITIES LENDING WHEN PHYSICAL FUNDS NEED A BOOST

Some Indices can’t be replicated by buying all the same stocks or bonds.

Components may be too illiquid, or there may simply be too many of them

» Instead Physical Fund managers are forced to operate a sampling strategy, where only the

largest and most liquid securities are purchased

» This can create Tracking Error as the ETF assets are not the same as the Benchmark Index

» In order to improve performance, the fund manager can lend out the Fund’s assets to other

financial institutions to gain additional revenue. This is called Securities Lending

» The risk is that the institution borrowing the securities could default, in which case the securities

could be lost, and the fund value would suffer

» To mitigate this risk the ETF receives collateral as security

15

Page 16: Nma pres final

SYNTHETIC REPLICATION WHEN PRECISION IS KEY

Due to the way that performance is delivered, Synthetic ETFs can offer precise

tracking against even the most illiquid or hard to track Index

» This time the role of the physical assets is purely to act as security to the ETF

» The performance is instead provided by a financial instrument called a Performance Swap (Swap)

» A Swap is a contractual agreement negotiated over-the-counter (OTC) between two parties:

» The Swap Counterparty who commits to pay the precise daily performance of the Benchmark

Index, including any dividends to the ETF

» The ETF provider who pays the Swap Counterparty a fee for the Swap, and the performance

of the physical assets it holds, including any dividends

» The Swap can introduce Counterparty Risk to the issuer of the Swap

» Importantly, exposure to the Swap Counterparty cannot exceed 10% of the fund’s Net Asset Value

E.G. EMERGING MARKETS

Where the stocks are particularly

illiquid, or hard to trade, physical

replication can be hard to achieve.

The best way to gain exposure to

these indices without suffering

significant Tracking Error is to use

a Performance Swap.

LYXOR ETF - BEST PERFORMANCE ON THE MAIN EQUITY INDICES IN 2013

Sources: Bloomberg and Lyxor. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of furture returns

According to the ETF Indicator, Lyxor ranks number one on seven of the 10

main equity indices between May 31st 2012 and May 31st 2013

The performance of each ETF was determined by the difference in the Net Asset Value (NAV) between May 31st, 2012, and May 31st, 2013 with dividends reinvested.

Rankings are based on peer group analysis. One peer group was created for each benchmark index. Each peer group includes the 5 largest ETF share classes from the

Top 20 ETF providers as defined by ETFGI, an independent research and consultancy firm. The 5 largest ETF share classes were defined according to the average daily

Assets under Management observed between May 31st, 2012 and May 31st, 2013. The performance of each ETF was determined by the change in Net Asset Value

(NAV) from the NAV of May 31st, 2012 and the NAV of May 31st, 2013 with dividends reinvested. The observed performances were net of management fees. For those

indices not denominated in EUR, Lyxor has converted the currency value of each index into Euro using the Bloomberg index codes and the WM Reuters Forex Rate.

QUALITY IN ALL SITUATIONS

ENSURING QUALITY ASSETS FOR SYNTHETIC ETFS

One of the great advantages of Synthetic replication is that the physical assets

that the fund buys have no impact on the performance of the fund, and as such,

they can be quite different to that of the Benchmark Index

» This time the role of the physical assets is purely to act as security to the ETF

» For investors this means that they can gain exposure to remote and hard to access markets without

actually having to buy those illiquid stocks

» This not only helps to eradicate Tracking Error, but it also means that the physical assets owned by

the ETF can be more liquid, and better diversified than those of the index it is tracking

CONTROLLING COUNTERPARTY RISK

MANAGING SECURITIES LENDING ACTIVITIES

Assets held as collateral against Securities lending activities are subject to strict

minimum quality standards and held in a segregated account

» Counterparty Risk can be controlled by capping the amount lent out to 70% of fund holdings

» Daily monitoring ensures collateral continues to comply with minimum value and quality requirement

» Eligible borrowers are vetted by the Risk Divisions of both Societe Generale and Lyxor

» In compliance with the recent guidelines from the European Securities and Markets Association, all

profits generated from Lyxor’s Securities Lending programmes are re-invested into the fund

CONTROLLING COUNTERPARTY RISK

MANAGING SWAP EXPOSURES IN SYNTHETIC ETFS

» Counterparty Risk only exists when the Swap is

positive – i.e. the Index outperforms the ETF assets

» In an effort to remove Counterparty Risk, Lyxor re-

sets the Swap every day

» When the Benchmark Index out performs the physical

assets, the Swap Counterparty pays the ETF

» Lyxor uses this payment to buy more physical assets

in order to maintain a value of more than 100% of the

ETF Net Asset Value

» When the ETF assets outperform the Benchmark

Index, assets are sold to pay the Swap Counterparty

» This way any debt between the two parties is paid

each day and the Counterparty Risk is removed

The risk with a Synthetic ETF is that the Issuer of the Swap defaults and is

unable to pay the performance of the Benchmark Index to the fund

Average Swap level across all

Lyxor ETFs is -1.44%*

SECONDARY MARKET

Lyxor Investors can buy or sell an ETF at any time in the Secondary Market prior to the Exercise Date on any regular

LSE trading day from 8.15am to 4.30pm. The value of the ETF will vary on an intraday basis.

Liquidity is provided by registered market-makers on the respective stock exchange where the ETF is listed, including

Societe Generale. On-exchange liquidity may be limited as a result of a suspension in the underlying market

represented by the Underlying Index tracked by the ETF; a failure in the systems of one of the relevant stock

exchanges, Societe Generale or other market-maker systems; or an abnormal trading situation or event.

Cases in which there is no guarantee that liquidity will be available on the secondary market, and therefore normal

market conditions may not prevail, include where:

The Underlying Asset level is suspended or not tradable;

There is a failure in the LSE, Societe Generale or other market maker systems;

Abnormal trading conditions e.g. sudden and sharp volatility increase or lack of liquidity in the underlying.

This means that an investor may find it difficult or impossible in certain circumstances to sell the ETF or may be offered

a price less than they paid for it
