5 Structured Products – Brief Background
Now 1970s Early 2000s Jan 2018 The industry responded by enhancing education, transparency and governance.: 2011: FCA Thematic Review 1 2012: Retail Distribution Review 2015: FCA Thematic Review 2018: MiFID II & PRIIPs During the 1970s, institutional investors began to use new variations on traditional bonds to modify their risk exposures – structured products were born Structured products enjoyed strong growth in the number of issuers, types of products offered and assets raised The introduction of PRIIPs & MiFID II Product Governance legislation brings the rest of the asset management industry in line with the FCA’s Thematic Review 1990s Sep 2008 2015 Mar 2018 First retail-focused structured products appear in the UK market, typically linked to the FTSE 100 index The failure of Lehman Brothers during the global financial crisis (managing circa £100m out of £5.4bn UK structured products) raised for the first time the issue of default on structured product’s underlying investments The FCA’s Thematic Review acknowledged structured products as an important component of the financial services industry The review ensured providers have robust controls and corporate governance in place, alongside a product development process placing customers at the forefront of product design Dura Capital launches

6 FCA View “Structured products form an important component of the financial services industry. Products range from alternatives to cash deposits to complex investments referencing multiple financial assets or indices. This large and diverse market serves individual savers as well as sophisticated investors, corporates and financial institutions.” FCA Thematic review TR15/2 Source: FCA, 31 August 2016

10 Types of Structured Product?
Unlike traditional fund investments, structured products do not physically hold the underlying assets on which returns are based. Instead they offer exposure to the performance of an equity index or another asset class delivered at a defined date (the ‘maturity date’) There are many potential types/variations of structured products. Currently, Dura Capital focusses on the below:   DEFINED RETURN AUTOCALLS INCOME Sit alongside: Equity income funds and absolute return funds  Can be thought of as part of a Defensive Equity or Alternatives Allocation Sit alongside: Equity income funds Can be thought of as part of a Defensive Equity or Alternatives Allocation

14 Structured Product Risks
Market Risk: capital repayment depends on the performance of the underlying equity index or asset class, the future performance of which cannot be guaranteed Time Horizon: Whilst an investor might be happy with the capital erosion prospects at maturity, the reference index/indices may fall throughout the life of the structured product and might fall by more than the investor expects Issuer Default Risk: If the issuer of the structured product fails or becomes insolvent, investors could lose some or all of their investment Inflation Risk: The real value of your return will be reduced Exit Risk: The secondary market price of a structured product will depend on many factors including, but not limited to, the value and volatility of the underlying index, interest rates, dividend rates, time remaining to maturity and the creditworthiness of the issuer. Prior to maturity, the price may be less than the amount the holder invested or could have received on maturity of the investment Tax Risk: The tax treatment of structured products can be complex may change during the term of an investor’s investment. Investors should seek their own professional tax advice The risks outlined above are not intended to be a complete list of all risks associated with investing in structured products. Any investment in structured products should only be made having read and reviewed all the relevant product literature, including the risk warnings outlined therein.

The price will be influenced by: The performance of the referenced equity index or asset class Dividend yield Implied volatility Market correlation (where relevant) Interest rates The issuing counterparty’s funding requirements Dura Capital will provide daily pricing, details of which can be found on the website:

28 Autocall barrier 65% with lower coupon vs. 75% with higher coupon
The majority of ‘defensive’ Autocalls in the retail market have Autocall barriers set at 65% of the index’ starting value The typical Autocall barrier in the institutional market tends to be at 75% of the index’ starting value (with a higher coupon offered vs. a 65% capital barrier) Why?

29 Paths of the three Autocalls is similar
Autocall with first call opportunity Year 1 vs. Year 2 Depends on the forward of the underlying index on whether this feature will improve or worsen terms Often it will worsen terms An Issuer option, not an Investor option Helps Issuers who have steep funding curves Terms: Index: FTSE 100/EuroStoxx 50 Currency: GBP Tenor: 7 years Autocall 1: 100/100/95/95/90/85/75 Autocall 2: NC/100/95/95/90/85/75 Autocall 3: NC/100/95/95/90/85/65 Issuer: Citi EKIP: 65% at maturity Paths of the three Autocalls is similar

30 Paths of the three Autocalls is similar
Dual index vs. single index Advisers have historically tended to avoid dual index structured products as they are perceived as being more complex vs. single index products Whilst the probability of capital loss can increase with dual index products, for clients with a suitable risk appetite the uptick in the coupon offered can be considerable Below models a new FTSE, FTSE/S&P and FTSE/EuroStoxx being launched every day between 1987 and The paths of the three Autocalls is similar Common Autocall Terms: 7 year term to maturity Autocall barriers: 100/100/95/90/85/80/75 Conditional capital protection: 65% Paths of the three Autocalls is similar Source: Catley Lakeman Securities, as at 10/04/2018.

31 Structured Products – Today
Annual Sales averaging >£750m p.a. since 2008 >£2bn in clients assets >450 structured products issued since 2017 Retail Structured Products – The UK Market today Where Dura Capital See Opportunity The structured product retail market has shrunk in recent years, whilst the institutional market has grown significantly – thematic reviews, RDR, PRIIPs, MIFID and industry inertia have lead to this trend Since the mid 2000s the retail market has not progressed in terms of issuers, product design or product access Dura Capital sees an opportunity to provide advisers and their clients with clear, good value products, providing investors with defined return investments and compelling probability of returns Source: SRP Europe Awards Report 2017.

32 Financial Planning - Example 1
Background: Harry, 50 and Sue, 53 are married with two teenage children They are both in full time work in the legal profession They both have £500k each in their SIPPs, savings of £1m in investment portfolios, no mortgage and moderate attitude to risk They are looking to consolidate gains they have made, whilst staying fully in the market Growth example Solution: Their financial adviser suggests maintaining a diversified and balanced approach Suggests reallocating from more traditional OEIC funds and harvesting gains from equity bucket, by selling 10% weighting in equity bucket and allocating to 2 structured products They each allocate £50k from their SIPP and £100k from their investment portfolios into a FTSE 100 flat autocall, with a 9% annual coupon, 60% capital at risk barrier & a dual FTSE 100 & EuroStoxx 50, with a 9% annual coupon, 65% capital at risk barrier Expectation: They realise they are giving up potential upside to markets, but given the value of their pensions and savings they would be delighted with a 6% annual, compound return after fees

33 Financial Planning - Example 2
Background: A private engineering company based in the South West England. The company has a turnover of £20m, £5m in profits and £5m in cash Cash reserves are sitting in a zero interest bearing bank account The company directors would like to retain £2m in cash and invest £3m with medium to longer term outlook and a balanced attitude to risk Growth example Solution: Their financial adviser suggests a portfolio of 40% bonds, 20% equities, 20% commercial property and 20% structured products. They are targeting 5-6% annual returns net of fees. They invest £600k into 4 structured products, £150k each. This is in the form of single and dual index products, with different counterparties. They range in returns from 7-10% per annum, with at least, 60% capital at risk barrier. Expectation: They realise they are giving up risk free returns in cash, but the company directors have explicitly asked to take greater risk to generate returns

34 Financial Planning - Example 3
Background: Jack and Isobel both aged 72, retired doctors. They are both in good health and have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. They both have £750k each in their SIPPs, £1m in ISA’s, £500k in general investment account, no mortgage and moderate attitude to risk. Their investment portfolio including the SIPP’s is around £3m. They have an in possession trust in place for their children established 7 years ago. They are looking for an income of around £100k per annum c.3% yield net. Income example Solution: Their financial adviser suggests maintaining a diversified and balanced approach with a focus on income. The adviser invests in a combination of multi-asset portfolios and suggests a 10% weighting to structured products in two products. They each allocate £75k from their SIPP, 100k from the ISA’s and £50k. With an explicit requirement for income they invest in 2 ‘Income Autocall’ products. This provides 1.25% income per quarter. It has a 60% barrier and a can auto-call from year 2 if the product s above 105%. Expectation: With a 6% annual income this product is perfectly suited to their risk/return profile in the context of an overall, diversified asset allocation mix. They understand the risks and whilst the plan is not designed to provide capital growth, it does provide almost twice the income requirements they need, with some capital protection built in.

35 Structured Products - Accelerator
Example: FTSE 100 Accelerator (249%) EIS Terms Payoff Pricing Date September 2017 Issuer Assuming A+ issuer Ratings Currency GBP Term 6 years Upside 249% of any increase in the level of index from its initial strike level The potential return is uncapped Conditional capital protection: 65% EKIP If at maturity the index closes: below 65% of its initial level = 1p capital lost for every 1% fall in the index Type EIS – CGT wrapper (under current rules) Eligibility Direct investments, ISAs, SIPP, SSAS, most trusts (not offshore bonds)
