Improving global environment and strong earnings growth profile
 We expect global economic growth to improve in 2015-16, driven by the US and Europe. This is positive
for many companies’ end-users and is generally positive for equity markets as a whole.
 Swiss small- and mid-caps have strong earnings growth profiles. Over the next 3 years, SPI Extra
earnings are expected to grow at a rate of 12% vs. 9% for large-caps.

The Swiss Small- and Mid-Cap Market
Strong balance sheets and cash returns to investors
 Swiss small- and mid-cap companies boast solid balance sheets given a history of conservative
management. The SPI Extra can claim a majority of net cash companies.
 With zero-to-negative yield on cash, cheap debt financing available and a high cost of equity, we expect
increased cash returns to shareholders (dividends, buybacks) and for M&A opportunities to emerge.

Investment Philosophy
CFROI-based investing with active management of tracking error
 Income statements can be misleading and/or manipulated; cash flows are more accurate and more
indicative in the long run.
 Cash flow return on investment (CFROI) best reflects the decision-making process of company’s
management, and is a consistent indicator of its ability to create value for investors.
 Corporations tend to follow a similar life cycle of profitability, reflected by their respective CFROI which
is an efficient tool for comparing companies across sectors and countries.
 We seek undervalued stocks along the company CFROI life cycle. We build conviction by in-depth
analysis of companies and their environment.
 Active stock picking is necessary to deliver long run outperformance for our investors…
 …but it is important to manage the degree of active risk. Active management of portfolio tracking error
is a key part of our approach to portfolio construction and risk.
Union Bancaire Privée, UBP SA │ Asset Management
15
Investment Philosophy
Examining the corporate life cycle
Above-average share performance will typically be achieved by companies that are:
 Well-established and able to “beat the fade” i.e. surprising the market by maintaining the spread CFROI > CoC
 Expanding and delivering strong growth
 Able to reinvent themselves in difficult times
Three alpha opportunities along the CFROI life cycle
CONCEPT
During a typical company’s life, its business generates varying levels of cash flow return on investment (CFROI) reflecting its stage of development: growth, maturity or decline.
While superior CFROIs tend to fade down to the Cost of Capital (CoC) as value creation attracts competition, inferior returns may “fade up” to the CoC as a result of restructuring
or competitors exiting the market. The team seeks to find companies with consistent, superior CFROIs and that steadily create value over the long term but that are not yet
discounted by the market. We also look for turnaround stories that are drastically undervalued and for companies that are experiencing a phase of accelerating growth that may
not yet be fully appreciated in terms of the magnitude and duration of the widening positive spread between CFROI and CoC.

Conclusion
 The Swiss small- and mid-cap equity space, represented by the SPI Extra, has generated strong long-
term returns, outperforming Swiss all cap (SPI) and large cap (SMI) indices, as well as the global equity
markets. The SPI Extra also has greater underlying diversification and reduced concentration risk, both
on a stock and on a sector level.
 Though Switzerland is recognized for its large global industry leaders, many of which household names
(e.g. Nestlé, Novartis, Roche, UBS), the Swiss small- and mid-cap space also contains global industry
leaders, often in more niche yet attractive markets.
 That said, the SPI Extra’s performance has significantly trailed the SMI in recent years and relative
valuations are at the (attractive) lower-end of their range. We attribute this to reduced sell-side focus
and certain investor misconceptions.
 The UBP Swiss & Global Equity Team has been investing in the Swiss small- and mid-cap space for
numerous years within all cap strategies. We expect our depth of knowledge in the area along with our
strong investment process to create good alpha-generation opportunities.
