Source: Datastream, UBS Quant and UBS European Equity Strategy as at 29 February 2016. 1Using a ‘value’ composite (price/earnings.
price to book and dividend yield) every month each sector within the MSCI Europe is broken down into 3 groups – top, middle and
bottom. The price to book of the bottom third is then deducted from the top third, divided by the price to book of the median of the
middle group. All individual sector scores are then aggregated to calculate the overall valuation dispersion at a market level. The higher
the dispersion typically indicates less faith in a greater proportion of the companies within a sector.

Price to Book and dividend yield) every month each sector within the MSCI Europe is broken down into 3 groups – top, middle and
bottom. Then the performance of the ‘cheap’ third minus the ‘expensive’ third is calculated. All individual sector performances are then
aggregated to calculate the overall performance at a market level. Using a ‘quality’ composite (equal weightings of ROCE, gross profit
margins and average daily stock price volatility over 365 days) every month each sector within the MSCI Europe is broken down into 3
groups – top middle and bottom. Then the performance of the ‘high quality’ third minus the ‘low quality ’ third is calculated. All
individual sector performances are then aggregated to calculate the overall performance at a market level.

Why is value so cheap in Europe?
Number of concerns:
 Potential for external events to impact Europe
 Resilience of European banking system
 Deflationary pressures
 Lack of corporate earnings growth since 2012
 Politics e.g. UK referendum

Global Oil & Gas Demand

Demand for oil is still growing by in excess of
1m barrel of oil equivalent per day

Natural depletion rates of existing fields is
estimated at +/- 4% pa

Non-OPEC supply is expected to fall in 2016,
as US shale oil has peaked, capex cuts
exacerbate depletion rates and a short term
boost to 2015 production growth falls away

OPEC supply boosts from some countries will
be at least partly offset by production
constraints due to underinvestment by others

Strategic petroleum reserve accumulation is
likely to continue

Starting Cyclically Adjusted PE – MSCI Europe(x)
Past performance is not a guide to future returns.
Source: Citi, Thomson Datastream as at 28 March 2016. Each square/data point on the chart (monthly frequency) maps the starting
cyclically adjusted PE ratio from 31 December 1979 to 28 March 2006 (based on ten years average historic earnings with the underlying
data starting from 31 December 1969) to the subsequent ten year total nominal return up until 28 March 2016 (expressed as an
average annual nominal growth rate and based on historic data). Through regression analysis a line of best fit is calculated, based on the
two data sets that make up each square (all historic data). 1The current cyclically adjusted PE is highlighted – this provides an indication
of what potential returns could be generated based on the line of best fit if the future replicates history.

Typically, Style Research provide the following guidelines: Any tilt between -0.5 and +0.5 are probably not significant, any tilt less than

economic growth and inflation…
 ….and UK referendum more in focus
 Despite several challenges facing the global economy not all is
bad
 The focus on these concerns is providing some attractive
valuation opportunities…
 …in sectors such as Financials/Basic resources/Energy & some

top quartile of MSCI Europe index ranked according to ROE, net debt/equity and earnings variability, rebalanced monthly. "Value" is the
best quartile according to 12 month forward PE, trailing price/book and trailing dividend yield. "Growth" is similarly the best quartile
according to analysts' consensus forecasts for 3 year forward EPS growth, long-term EPS growth and the internal growth rate (defined as
ROE retention ratio).

Source: Style Research, Invesco as at 31 March 2016. The chart shows how the Invesco Pan European Equity Fund is positioned or
“tilted” relative to MSCI Europe – maximum, minimum, current and median values are provided. Based on the default setting as
provided by Style Research. For “value” six factors are included and equally weighted: Book to Price, Dividend yield, Earnings yield,
Cashflow yield, Sales to Price and EBITDA to price (all historic). For “growth” six factors are included and equally weighted: Return on
Equity, Earnings Growth, Income/Sales, Sales Growth, IBES 12mths Forward Earnings Growth and IBES Full Year 1 Earnings Revisions.
Typically, Style Research provide the following guidelines: Any tilt between -0.5 and +0.5 are probably not significant, any tilt less than
-0.5 or more than +0.5 indicate a tilt exists but many not be significant, and tilt less than -1 or more than +1 are significant and less
than -2 or more than +2 are very significant.

Investment philosophy
 Valuation is the key determinant of future returns over the longer term
 Market inefficiencies create valuation opportunities
 As active Fund Managers we look to take advantage of these opportunities
 We are agnostic with regards to investment style, country or sector positioning
 We are reference index aware not reference index driven
 ‘Bottom up’ and ‘top down’ factors both add value
Our fundamental investment approach combines bottom up and
top down analysis to capitalise on valuation opportunities

Portfolio construction
Stock weightings are determined by a number of factors:
Size of holding influenced by:
 Our assessment of potential upside
 Our assessment of risk
 Individual stock contribution to risk
 Liquidity of stock
Other considerations:
 Reference Index aware but not reference
index driven
 Impact on the shape of the portfolio of new
purchase/sale
 Top down factors/turning points can also be
relevant at specific times
Portfolio
 Portfolio typically consists of between 65 to 75 stocks
 Active position typically not over 3% in any one stock
 Typically no more than 5% in any one stock
 Active share typically over 70%
 Cash position: Portfolio intended to be fully invested
We aim to create a well diversified portfolio of
active positions

Valuation monitoring at a stock level
Our fundamental
research, incorporating
the key structural,
cyclical and company
specific drivers,
provides the basis for
our long term
valuation scenarios.
Incorporating our own
assumptions into
models provided by
trusted 3rd party
analysts is an
important part of
generating our long
term valuation
scenarios.
For illustrative purposes only.
57
We continuously
monitor these drivers
& risks and, if
required, adjust our
valuation scenarios
accordingly.
Greater/lower
confidence in the
delivery of the
individual drivers will
determine the potential
upside/downside.
We focus on the long
term.
Selling a holding is
normally due to:
 The drivers are fully
appreciated in the
share price.
 The anticipated
delivery of some or
all of the key drivers
have failed to
materialise.
 Another stock with
better risk/reward
characteristics

This framework
highlights:
- Pan European sector
valuations
- Country valuations
within each sector
- Any Pan European
sector valuations
which are
cheap/expensive
against their history
- Which countries
within Europe are
cheap/expensive
against their history
at a sector level
- Our positioning on
the same basis
We then compare
these valuations with
our positioning
Valuation metrics
used:
- Cyclically adjusted PE (x)
- Price-to-Book (x)
Any anomalies are
flagged and further
investigated.
Anomalies can include:
1) Portfolio being high
exposed a sector in a
country whilst cheaper
opportunities in the
same sector exist in
another country
2) Portfolio being low
exposed a sector in a
country whilst being
high exposed in the
same sector in another
country
