LYXOR EXCH AN G E T R AD ED F UND S 15 YEARS OF ETFS WITH LYXOR With the launch of our CAC 40 ETF in Paris in 2001, Lyxor became the first European provider of ETFs, and only the second provider to launch in Europe since the market began. Fifteen years later the European ETF market is worth €452bn, there are 51 different issuers and over 1500 ETFs listed on 24 exchanges2. The market has grown by an average of 24% per year for the last 3 years, and in 2015 alone €72bn of new money was collected, which was 61% more than 20141. The remarkable growth of the ETF industry is symbolic of a changing investor. In an environment where costs and transparency matter more than ever before, ETFs are providing increasingly efficient access to practically every corner of the financial markets.

We have never accepted the status quo, but have continuously pushed for newer, better ways to access the markets. Ours is a more sophisticated approach, which is grounded on the simple idea of delivering the best possible result for our investors. Today with 240 products spanning all asset classes, geographies, sectors and types, our investors enjoy the freedom to choose precisely where they want to invest. But it’s more than just the choice; it is our absolute commitment to tracking efficiency, and our relentless focus on quality that tells investors they can trust us wherever they want to invest, and whatever their investment goals.

This is our goal for all 240 of our funds, regardless of asset class, region or investment strategy. This means that no matter how far off the beaten track you go, or how sophisticated the investment strategy you choose, you know that our funds are designed to perform. “Achieving the highest levels of efficiency across a range as diverse as ours demands flexibility. There is simply no single replication method that works best in every case. We aim to take the best of both worlds, and use each method where it works best for investors.” Arnaud Llinas Global Head of ETF & Indexing A PRAGMATIC APPROACH We have an extensive range of 240 ETFs, which spans all asset classes, regions, sectors and investment styles. We decided back in 2012 to be pragmatic about replication, to recognise the strength of each method, and to deploy them where they work best for investors. We have developed a clear framework over how we operate the range, with simple exposures delivered with Physical Replication, and more complex or niche exposures using Synthetic Replication where it offers greater efficiency. Currently 40% of our assets are in Physical ETFs but by the end of 2016 we will operate a truly balanced model with 50% of assets under each form of replication1. OUR PHILOSOPHY Our choice of replication is driven by: • The specifics of the underlying market • The ability of the portfolio manager to deliver the most efficient tracking • The best interest of our clients THE EVOLUTION OF OUR SET UP 2012 Physical <2% Synthetic 98% Oct-2015 End of 2015 Physical 25% Physical Synthetic 60% Synthetic 75% 40% End of 20161 Synthetic Physical 48% 52% BREAKDOWN OF LYXOR ETF ASSETS 1) Source: Lyxor International Asset Management. Based on current fund valuations as of February, 2016. 3 LY X O R E X CHA NGE T R A D E D F U N DS 15 YEARS OF ETFS WITH LYXOR 15 YEARS OF QUALITY CONTROL Our aim from the start has been to create ETFs of the highest calibre that can be trusted in any market conditions, and for any market opportunity. In 2011 we introduced our ETF Quality Charter to ensure that every one of our 240 funds meets the same exacting standards for tracking precision, product liquidity, risk management and transparency. The standards imposed by the Lyxor ETF Quality Charter go above and beyond the requirements of both the European UCITS IV Directive and the ESMA Guidelines published in July 2012. What this all means is that you can buy a Lyxor ETF in confidence, knowing that it will perform as you expect it to, trade efficiently and keep your money as safe as possible. CONTROLLING YOUR RISK FUND ASSETS • Fund assets are held in a segregated account • Strict criteria governing eligible securities: –– UCITS rules of diversification –– In line with index holdings –– Geographic and sector rules –– Blue Chip equities/ Issuances from major developed countries –– Minimum liquidity & market capitalisation for equities –– Minimum size and Credit Rating standards for bonds COUNTERPARTY RISK • Daily management of Counterparty risk • Daily 0% risk target • No securities lending in synthetic ETFs • Maximum 25% of fund assets lent in physical ETF • Fully collateralised structure for securities lending in physical ETFs TRANSPARENCY • Daily publication of information on the website –– Counterparty risk –– Fund performance –– Fund holdings • Supported by core ETF literature –– KIIDS –– Factsheets –– Prospectus –– Brochures/Guides 15 YEARS OF LIQUID TRADING MORE MARKET MAKERS TIGHTER BID/ASK SPREADS VIRTUOUS CIRCLE HIGHER ONEXCHANGE TURNOVER MORE ORDERS Lyxor is the second most liquid ETF provider in Europe, which means our ETFs are some of the most frequently traded in the market1. This is the reward that comes from being in the market from the start. It took time to build the infrastructure and reach the critical size needed for true liquidity. Today we have one of the broadest networks of market makers (20) and Authorised Participants (45), and some of the largest funds in Europe, which is why 20% of all Europe’s reported ETF trading is with Lyxor*. The importance of liquidity cannot be over stated. It is what tells investors they can trade with confidence, knowing that they will be able to buy or sell when they need to. It can also make a big difference to your trading costs as more liquid funds attract more market makers, and more market makers means more competition for pricing. 1) Source Lyxor International Asset Management.

RISK FACTORS: It is important for potential investors to evaluate the risks described below and in the fund prospectus which can be found on www.lyxoretf.com 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. Physically replicated ETFs may have counterparty risk resulting from the use of a Securities Lending Programme. 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. LIQUIDITY RISK: Liquidity is provided by registered marketmakers 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. 6 In accordance with MiFID as implemented in France and applicable to Lyxor International Asset Management, this publication should be treated as a marketing communication providing general investment recommendations.
