Capital International LimitedKinesisAntony Kelsey This presentation is intended for FSA authorised persons, high net worth individuals and professional investors
Agenda Introduction to Kinesis History of the market Advantages / Disadvantages of the market Dismissing the stereotypes Kinesis in detail Kinesis v direct investment Kinesis benefit comparison Kinesis investment options Kinesis fees Regulation Doing business
Introduction to Kinesis An alternative to direct investment, delivering equivalent   investment performance But Kinesis returns are tax free (no CGT and no income tax) Clients, and advisers, define the investment strategy Kinesis is as low risk as clients want it to be Tax treatment occurs because Kinesis is structured as a spread bet Returns from spread bets are tax free in the UK
What is Spread Betting? A method of speculating on the price of an instrument without actually owning any shares or derivatives A financial spread bet allows a trader to bet on whether they believe that the price quoted for a particular financial instrument, such as shares or the FTSE 100 index, is likely to go up in value or go down in value Contracts are often leveraged as clients make only a small deposit relative to the size of the bet (e.g. £10k for £100k bet):
History of Spread Betting in UK 1974 ‘Investors Gold Index’ was created to allow investors to trade on the price of gold IG Index quickly introduced forex and commodities 1980s and 90s very niche – low financial sophistication and poor technology Around 2000 dot.com boom brought greater public focus on share prices and massive online trading improvements Crash allowed spread bet traders to profit by short-selling Professional traders recognise spread betting as a high risk alternative investment strategy to yield quick tax-free profits Today it is increasingly “retail”
Spread Betting today Beginners Guides / Free education Bets from as lows as 10p per point Bets on shares, indices, forex, commodities, property price indices, interest rates, options, sports results Margin variable but typically 10% No longer just professionals…  adverts in newspapers, billboards, television… Well established and accepted taxation treatment
Advantages Returns are tax free in the UK* No direct ownership of underlying assets Deposit only required (meaning that capital works harder) Streamlined pricing Reduced currency risk Easy to go “short” as well as “long” Disadvantages ,[object Object]
Limited choice of assets
Specialist reputation*	Note: losses cannot be offset against other capital gains and returns can be taxed as income if client has 	no income from other sources aside from spread betting activity
Dismissing the stereotypes Spread betting… is not inherently risky does allow virtually any type of asset to be held in a spread-bet in any combination does not have to be leveraged is not just for professionals does not have to be complicated has a generous tax treatment which is unlikely to change
Why does HMRC allow it? As many make losses as make gains via spread bets HMRC enjoy gaming duty and corporate tax on spread betting firm profits Returns are taxed as income if client’s spread-betting activity is sufficient to be deemed a “trade”
Kinesis in Detail Kinesis is a spread bet account Each client can set up their own bespoke Specialist Reference Index (SRI) Client and adviser define the assets to be included in the SRI (it can replicate existing client portfolios or investment strategies) Assets can be: equities, gilts, corporate bonds, unit trusts, OEICs, hedge funds, loan notes, private equity, structured products… Index priced monthly – for every £1 the index increases, clients win £1 and for every £1 the index decreases, clients lose £1
Kinesis in Detail cont’d Capital require 100% margin from client (i.e. no leverage risk) By holding investments via a spread bet, rather than directly, clients create tax free returns Clients and their advisers define the risk of assets held Contract rolls every three months so clients can access all their money every 3 months – there is no lock-in and no surrender fees Tax treatment is also “locked in” every 3 months
Kinesis in Detail cont’d Capital use the 100% margin to purchase the assets selected in the SRI via a dedicated subsidiary company (CFM) Price of the SRI reflects the value and price movements of the assets     in CFM So, although CFM own the investment assets,  the client receives the performance via the index price to which the spread bet account is linked Capital’s liabilities are therefore 100% hedged at all times CFM’s assets are completely ring-fenced from all other activity and from Capital’s own assets
Kinesis v Direct Investment While Kinesis can replicate the investment returns of existing portfolios via the creation of bespoke SRIs, it is via its tax savings that Kinesis outperforms:
Kinesis Benefit Comparison Kinesis	SIPP	         Offshore Bond            Direct Max investment Withdrawals Capital Gains Tax Income Tax Unlimited Unlimited £1.8 million Unlimited Annual CGT allowance 5% capital  withdrawals 3 monthly Post 55 0% 0% 0% 28% Relief on  Contributions but up to 50%  On benefits taken Up to 50% Up to 50% 0%
Kinesis Investment Options Clients and their advisers have complete flexibility to nominate assets   for their SRI Assets can be: equities, gilts, corporate bonds, unit trusts, OEICs,   hedge funds, loan notes, private equity, structured products… Discretionary Fund Managers (including Capital) can be appointed to make asset selection Capital discretionary managed portfolio service (Fusion) can be included Cash only cannot be selected – could be deemed a “one-way” bet
Kinesis Fees Each 3 month bet (open & roll) has 0.1% Fee SRI Set up Fee of 1% SRI Annual Management Charge of 0.7% Adviser commission added to SRI fees SRI performance will also reflect costs of underlying investments (just as if the client were holding the investments directly) Therefore Capital’s Kinesis fees are the opportunity cost of the Kinesis tax savings
Key Reminders Clients own Kinesis (not underlying assets) Clients define the investment risk of Kinesis by nominating the assets in their own bespoke SRI Clients must pay 100% margin into Kinesis Losses are limited to their margin (just as if they invested directly), assuming bet is “long” Returns from Kinesis are currently tax free Clients assets are available every 3 months Clients assets are ring-fenced

Kinesis Spread Betting Presentation

  • 1. Capital International LimitedKinesisAntony Kelsey This presentation is intended for FSA authorised persons, high net worth individuals and professional investors
  • 2. Agenda Introduction to Kinesis History of the market Advantages / Disadvantages of the market Dismissing the stereotypes Kinesis in detail Kinesis v direct investment Kinesis benefit comparison Kinesis investment options Kinesis fees Regulation Doing business
  • 3. Introduction to Kinesis An alternative to direct investment, delivering equivalent investment performance But Kinesis returns are tax free (no CGT and no income tax) Clients, and advisers, define the investment strategy Kinesis is as low risk as clients want it to be Tax treatment occurs because Kinesis is structured as a spread bet Returns from spread bets are tax free in the UK
  • 4. What is Spread Betting? A method of speculating on the price of an instrument without actually owning any shares or derivatives A financial spread bet allows a trader to bet on whether they believe that the price quoted for a particular financial instrument, such as shares or the FTSE 100 index, is likely to go up in value or go down in value Contracts are often leveraged as clients make only a small deposit relative to the size of the bet (e.g. £10k for £100k bet):
  • 5. History of Spread Betting in UK 1974 ‘Investors Gold Index’ was created to allow investors to trade on the price of gold IG Index quickly introduced forex and commodities 1980s and 90s very niche – low financial sophistication and poor technology Around 2000 dot.com boom brought greater public focus on share prices and massive online trading improvements Crash allowed spread bet traders to profit by short-selling Professional traders recognise spread betting as a high risk alternative investment strategy to yield quick tax-free profits Today it is increasingly “retail”
  • 6. Spread Betting today Beginners Guides / Free education Bets from as lows as 10p per point Bets on shares, indices, forex, commodities, property price indices, interest rates, options, sports results Margin variable but typically 10% No longer just professionals… adverts in newspapers, billboards, television… Well established and accepted taxation treatment
  • 7.
  • 9. Specialist reputation* Note: losses cannot be offset against other capital gains and returns can be taxed as income if client has no income from other sources aside from spread betting activity
  • 10. Dismissing the stereotypes Spread betting… is not inherently risky does allow virtually any type of asset to be held in a spread-bet in any combination does not have to be leveraged is not just for professionals does not have to be complicated has a generous tax treatment which is unlikely to change
  • 11. Why does HMRC allow it? As many make losses as make gains via spread bets HMRC enjoy gaming duty and corporate tax on spread betting firm profits Returns are taxed as income if client’s spread-betting activity is sufficient to be deemed a “trade”
  • 12.
