Investor Mind Set Post<br />

Financial Crisis<br />

35


Legacy of a Crisis<br />

• Reaction to the Financial Crisis will result in more onerous regulatory<br />

environment, but also a more sophisticated and demanding Investor<br />

base.<br />

Features of the Crisis<br />

Collapsing Asset Values<br />

Corporate Solvency Issues<br />

Systemic Risk<br />

Madoff Scandal<br />

Redemption Restrictions<br />

Lack of Investor Transparency<br />

Reaction – Asset Management Centres of Influence<br />

Investors<br />

Regulators<br />

Governments<br />

• More demanding of Asset Manager performance/governance<br />

• Increasing sophistication to mitigate risks/recover losses<br />

• Driving industry transparency re end-Investors, e.g.; UCITS IV<br />

• Pushing liability of future crisis to industry, e.g.; AIFMD<br />

• Enhanced capital requirements on financial firms, e.g.; Basel III<br />

• Limitation in high-risk activities, e.g.; Dodd-Frank<br />

36


A New Wave of Sophistication<br />

• Both Institutional and Retail / HNWI Investor segments becoming more<br />

sophisticated, though dynamics vary between segments.<br />

The Sophistication Trend in Institutional and Retail / HNWI Investor Segments<br />

Institutional<br />

• More rigorous evaluation criteria prior to investment:<br />

– Lengthier, more structured reviews of processes/controls<br />

– Require greater transparency, less discretionary style drift<br />

• Improved oversight of investments:<br />

– Better internal risk-management processes/governance<br />

– Improved use of risk metrics and Investment Committees<br />

• Increased use of Investment Consultants:<br />

– 2009 BCG survey of European Institutional Asset Mgrs<br />

– 33% expect consultants role to increase in developed markets,<br />

e.g.; UK, Germany, France<br />

– 50% expect greater consultant involvement in Middle East and<br />

Asia<br />

Retail / HNWI<br />

• Expectation for Distributors to provide better service:<br />

– Need for more professional and transparent service<br />

– Seek clarity regarding products, fees, and risk<br />

• Returning appetite for new and alternative offerings:<br />

– Sales of retail structured products growing in 2010<br />

– Focus on more informed buying of these products<br />

• Distributors in turn expect better service from Asset Managers:<br />

– Demand client-tailored, transparent, competitive offerings<br />

– In some cases are reducing the number of managers used<br />

– Expect enhanced support model to their retail networks from<br />

their asset management suppliers<br />

Combined Implications<br />

• Investor activity aligning with regulatory/governmental focus.<br />

• Emphasis on end-to-end transparency in product content and investment process<br />

• Also an expectation for improved service and value-added tools/capabilities<br />

37


Investment Orientation<br />

• Across Institutional, HNWI, and Retail investor segments, there is riskdriven<br />

retrenchment, supported an opportunistic approach to achieving<br />

alpha.<br />

• Ongoing concerns re lack of transparency and complexity of investment products.<br />

• Core and Explore – simplicity, safety and quality are the core; improving alternatives are the explore<br />

Institutional<br />

• Looking at investments into alternatives, as markets emerge from the crisis<br />

• Supported by a more rigorous approach to vetting and understanding investments.<br />

• More pragmatic approach than retail investors, with allocation to active/passive long-only as core<br />

• Pre-crisis HNWI had large positions in hedge funds<br />

HNWI<br />

• Allocations to alternatives lower than pre-crisis levels, with a more opportunistic orientation<br />

• Focused on exit-enabling requirements; liquidity and robust redemption processes<br />

• The “new” HNWI from Asia/Middle-East is more suspicious of western generated alternative strategies<br />

• Were most vulnerable investor class during the financial crisis<br />

• Tended to buy the “latest trend” product; bank-dominated distribution offered limited support<br />

Retail<br />

• Post-crisis focussing on capital protection and tax efficiency as core investment strategy<br />

• Supported by opportunistic forays into alpha products such as absolute return funds.<br />

• Accumulation, rather than speculation, is now the key focus; as well as product transparency<br />

Global Trends in Asset Management<br />

From unregulated to regulated<br />

From less regulated to more regulated<br />

• Fund migrations<br />

• Fund re-domiciliations<br />

42


Re-domiciliation<br />

Drivers for re-domiciliation<br />

• G20 discussions<br />

• Prohibition on investors investing in the so-called “offshore tax haven funds”<br />

• Increasing pressure by home country regulators<br />

43


Re-domicilation<br />

Re-domiciliation of funds (incl. UCITS) from end 2007 to end 2009<br />

Countries of origin<br />

Target countries<br />

Over 30% of re-domiciliations of funds between<br />

2007-2009 were to <strong>Luxembourg</strong><br />

UCITS III latest developments<br />

II. What are the protections for investors<br />

• Convergence trends between traditional and hedge fund management are accelerating:<br />

‣ UCITS can accommodate certain hedge fund strategies<br />

‣ AIFM Directive : UCITS may become the « recipient » of hedge fund managers<br />

BUT UCITS is a retail product<br />

• Eligibility : UCITS can accommodate alternative strategies but within certain parameters<br />

• Volatility: VaR limits to be complied with<br />

• Liquidity : UCITS should be able to meet redemption request at any time<br />

• New sophisticated products under UCITS III BUT reputation of the UCITS brand has to<br />

be maintained<br />

‣ Through adequate management of all types of risks<br />

UCITS IV: What is it about<br />

• <strong>Luxembourg</strong> timelines for implementation<br />

• Management Company passport<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Objective: consolidation – economies of scale – cost reduction<br />

Optional regime<br />

Principle: management company located in one member state can provide<br />

full management company services to a UCITS located in another member<br />

state (administration/management/distribution)<br />

‣ For you: subject to regulatory clearance in your jurisdiction – no major<br />

changes<br />

‣ For <strong>Luxembourg</strong>: opportunity to become the centre of choice for location of<br />

Management Companies (also for your products)<br />

50


UCITS IV: What is it about<br />

• Simplified Notification Procedure<br />

<br />

<br />

Objective: improve time to market – reduction of costs – improve<br />

competitiveness v. other products, national products<br />

Principle:<br />

• Time to market in the EU significantly reduced<br />

• Submission of documents on a regulator to regulator basis<br />

‣ For you: No substantial change<br />

‣ For <strong>Luxembourg</strong>: overall efficiency gain in view of the submission of<br />

documents<br />

51


UCITS IV: What is it about<br />

• Cross Border Mergers<br />

<br />

<br />

Objective: facilitate consolidation of European Fund Industry – economies of<br />

scale – reduction of costs<br />

Principle: establish a single merger procedure ( recognising the specificities<br />

of different legal systems<br />

‣ For you: benefit from a more concentrated and cost-effective product; your<br />

regulator needs to get comfortable with the proposed procedures and<br />

timings<br />

‣ For <strong>Luxembourg</strong>: attract other structures and consolidate in existing<br />

<strong>Luxembourg</strong> based UCITS flagships:<br />

• Already an existing trend without these regulatory changes<br />

52


UCITS IV: What is it about<br />

• Master – Feeder Structures<br />

Objective: permit pooling of assets by allowing UCITS feeder vehicles –<br />

reduction of costs<br />

<br />

Principle: feeder UCITS must invest at least 85% of their net assets into one<br />

master UCITS<br />

‣ For you: a <strong>Luxembourg</strong> feeder just for you <br />

‣ For <strong>Luxembourg</strong>: the opportunity to become main master-fund hub<br />

UCITS IV: What is it about<br />

• KII<br />

<br />

<br />

Objective: improve investor protection by making disclosure more<br />

understandable to the retail investor<br />

Principle: provide a short clear and standardised 2 page document to<br />

investors permitting them to compare different funds from different<br />

promoters/jurisdictions<br />

‣ For you: a document for use also in your jurisdiction (Japanese mandatory<br />

prospectus)<br />

‣ For <strong>Luxembourg</strong>: a useful tool towards improved distribution<br />

54


UCITS cross-border distribution drivers<br />

• Growth of guided architecture<br />

• Local investor demand for international products<br />

• Growth of more sophisticated TA & fund admin businesses<br />

• UCITS III & expanded products<br />

• Elimination of national tax & regulatory barriers<br />

• “Cross-border” increasingly viewed as a core business<br />

• Belief that cross-border generates greater profits & efficiencies<br />

• Asian investor demand for UCITS<br />

• Lack of competition<br />
