6 Global (Ex-US) Equity: Sector Strategy June 30, 2003 Source: UBS Global Asset Managemet Largest over (+)/under (-) weights relative to benchmark MSCI Index as of 6/30/03. Media - A mix of electronic and traditional media companies. Publishers are expanding distribution by using the Internet. Pharmaceuticals – Attractive valuations relative to other sectors with improving product pipelines in selected stocks after a period of R & D stagnation. Paper – European paper industry shows rising cash flow, a strong competitive position in the industry and excellent capital controls. Industrial Conglomerates – Acquisition led growth and opaque accounting are negatives for this sector. Metals & Mining – A weak pricing environment coupled with overcapacity in most metals makes the environment very difficult. Financials – Capital markets exposure, low commercial loan growth, and credit quality continue to be concerns for the sector.

7 Global (Ex-US) Equity: Current Views June 30, 2003 There were no major changes to our sector bets over the quarter. Pharmaceuticals, banks and media remained significant overweights. Consumer durables dropped out of the top overweights to be replaced by food, beverages and tobacco This addition to the food sector was driven at the stock level where we took an overweight position in Swiss food producer Nestle – the largest food company in the world. Nestle has superior sustainable growth to its competitors due to its exposure to faster growing divisions, such as Water. The group has a restructuring programme to focus on coordinating buying and selling on a global basis, which should lead to significant margin improvement. With interest cover of 16x there is also clear opportunity for share buybacks Country positions wer also largely unchanged. We did halve the underweight to Japan. This does not reflect a change of view on the market as a whole – we still fail to see any positive signs of economic restructuring. Our positions in Japan continue to be concentrated on the exporters, over the quarter we topped up Nintendo, Honda and Toyota into weakness Health care2.1 Consumer discretionary1.4 Energy0.7 IT0.6 Telecoms0.3 Materials0.1 Consumer Staples0.1 Utilities-0.9 Industrials -2.1 Financials -2.2 Sector positions 1 Positive (overweight)% Gallaher+1.76 VNU +1.66 Reed Elsevier +1.64 Nestle+1.63 Aventis+1.60 Stock positions 1 Negative (underweight)% Royal Dutch-1.57 HSBC -1.26 UBS -1.07 HBOS -0.79 Siemens -0.64 1 Global ex US Equity Model
