Country Allocation Report— Footnotes
www.Borealisga.com | 13 Richmond Lane | Columbia, SC 29223 | 803-319-6628
The BGA Short-term Country Score is based on factor signals developed using a proprietary BGA
Global Country Allocation Framework (BGA G-CAF™) for projecting a country’s one- to six-
month return forecast. The score is scaled above and below zero. The countries with positive
scores have an allocation in the BGA model portfolio. The positive score followed by an upward
arrow reflects improvement, while positive score followed by a downward arrow shows a decline in
the return forecast. The countries with negative scores have no allocation in the portfolio. The
short term is defined as one to six months.
The Weighting is our proprietary portfolio weighting for this country, for the current month, rela-
tive to its weight in the benchmark. The potential values for this measure are Over-/Under-/
Market-/Zero- Weight. This weighting reflects the BGA short-term country score. The benchmark
is MSCI All Country World Index Ex USA.
Calendar Year Forecast Percentile Rank is the relative rank of a country in percentile terms based
on its calendar year return forecast expressed in real terms. The forecast is obtained by netting its
compounded cumulative market returns for the trailing five (full calendar) years from its com-
pounded cumulative returns over a six-year (full calendar) period based on its medium-term yield
forecast (CY-M™) from five years ago. For example, if the medium-term country yield forecast (CY
-M™) as of end of calendar year 2010 for the period 2011-2016 was 8%, which is an average annu-
al real return estimate and represents approximately 48% cumulatively over six years; is com-
pared to the actual 2011–2015 cumulative real return of 20%, the resulting calendar year estimate
would be approximately 28% (48% less 20%). The higher the rank the better.
The Medium-term Performance Quintile reflects the average annual real return forecast of a coun-
try for successive six years as it ranks relative to all countries in the benchmark. The average an-
nual real return forecast of the country for the successive six years is expressed by CY-M™ derived
from the proprietary modified CAPE model.
The Medium-term Country Yield Forecast (CY-M™)is the average annual real return expectations
of a country over successive six years based on our proprietary modified CAPE model, the Country
Yield Forecasting Mechanism (CY-FOREM™). The measure should not be used as a specific fore-
cast measure, but only as a comparative forecast measure. For example, we should be more opti-
mistic about the returns prospects of a country, over the next six years ,with a CY-M™ measure of
13% compared to a country with a measure of 9%. Correspondingly, a country with a negative CY-
M™ measure, we should be highly pessimistic about its return prospects. In other words, higher
the measure, the more optimistic, we should be of the country’s prospects and the lesser the meas-
ure, the more pessimistic of the country’s prospects.
Quantitative Factor Strength Charts:
BGA uses a proprietary multi-factor model, the BGA Global Country Allocation Model (BGA G-
CAM™) to forecast country prospects for successive one- to six- month horizon. The strength
charts reflect both the level and relative impact of the various factors in the model to determine
the country’s short-term score. The factors are scaled above and below zero, meaning factors above
zero are contributing positively, while those below zero have a negative impact on the country
score. The colors within the stacked bar chart represent the attribution of the factors in the model
estimating the country’s short-term return forecast, and they are as follows:
Value Factors Volatility Factors
Currency Factors Dividend Factors
Momentum Factor
Additional notes: BGA has for the time being excluded the following countries that exist in the benchmark from this chart
book - Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Qatar, and UAE. Czech Republic and Hungary have been excluded because of lack
of appropriate single-country ETFs in the market, UAE and Qatar for lack of sufficient data history, and Finland is under
review for inclusion in our model next month.

BGA Quantitative Factor Strength
Look for strength in the number of factors and their sizes as
they rise above the zero score line. In addition, a rising score
line (in red), as it moves above the zero level is useful for short-
term forecasts. The rankings to the left (blue side panel) show
BGA’s short-term scoring as well as weighting relative to
benchmark.
BGA Medium-term Forecast
Look for a positive stable or a slowly rising line with projected
real returns above 0% or a chart with a significant rising valua-
tion line both in time-frame and degree from historic lows. The
calendar year forecast percentile rank is based on the inferred
CY-M™ for the current calendar year (see footnotes). The Medi-
um-term measures in the left panel reflect the real return fore-
cast for the coming six-year period.
Alert: Charts of Qatar and UAE have been excluded from the chart book due to limited
data history and lack of ETFs. Chart of Finland has been excluded as its ETF has been
in the market for less than five years.

  • 2. 2 Country Allocation Report— Footnotes www.Borealisga.com | 13 Richmond Lane | Columbia, SC 29223 | 803-319-6628 The BGA Short-term Country Score is based on factor signals developed using a proprietary BGA Global Country Allocation Framework (BGA G-CAF™) for projecting a country’s one- to six- month return forecast. The score is scaled above and below zero. The countries with positive scores have an allocation in the BGA model portfolio. The positive score followed by an upward arrow reflects improvement, while positive score followed by a downward arrow shows a decline in the return forecast. The countries with negative scores have no allocation in the portfolio. The short term is defined as one to six months. The Weighting is our proprietary portfolio weighting for this country, for the current month, rela- tive to its weight in the benchmark. The potential values for this measure are Over-/Under-/ Market-/Zero- Weight. This weighting reflects the BGA short-term country score. The benchmark is MSCI All Country World Index Ex USA. Calendar Year Forecast Percentile Rank is the relative rank of a country in percentile terms based on its calendar year return forecast expressed in real terms. The forecast is obtained by netting its compounded cumulative market returns for the trailing five (full calendar) years from its com- pounded cumulative returns over a six-year (full calendar) period based on its medium-term yield forecast (CY-M™) from five years ago. For example, if the medium-term country yield forecast (CY -M™) as of end of calendar year 2010 for the period 2011-2016 was 8%, which is an average annu- al real return estimate and represents approximately 48% cumulatively over six years; is com- pared to the actual 2011–2015 cumulative real return of 20%, the resulting calendar year estimate would be approximately 28% (48% less 20%). The higher the rank the better. The Medium-term Performance Quintile reflects the average annual real return forecast of a coun- try for successive six years as it ranks relative to all countries in the benchmark. The average an- nual real return forecast of the country for the successive six years is expressed by CY-M™ derived from the proprietary modified CAPE model. The Medium-term Country Yield Forecast (CY-M™)is the average annual real return expectations of a country over successive six years based on our proprietary modified CAPE model, the Country Yield Forecasting Mechanism (CY-FOREM™). The measure should not be used as a specific fore- cast measure, but only as a comparative forecast measure. For example, we should be more opti- mistic about the returns prospects of a country, over the next six years ,with a CY-M™ measure of 13% compared to a country with a measure of 9%. Correspondingly, a country with a negative CY- M™ measure, we should be highly pessimistic about its return prospects. In other words, higher the measure, the more optimistic, we should be of the country’s prospects and the lesser the meas- ure, the more pessimistic of the country’s prospects. Quantitative Factor Strength Charts: BGA uses a proprietary multi-factor model, the BGA Global Country Allocation Model (BGA G- CAM™) to forecast country prospects for successive one- to six- month horizon. The strength charts reflect both the level and relative impact of the various factors in the model to determine the country’s short-term score. The factors are scaled above and below zero, meaning factors above zero are contributing positively, while those below zero have a negative impact on the country score. The colors within the stacked bar chart represent the attribution of the factors in the model estimating the country’s short-term return forecast, and they are as follows: Value Factors Volatility Factors Currency Factors Dividend Factors Momentum Factor Additional notes: BGA has for the time being excluded the following countries that exist in the benchmark from this chart book - Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Qatar, and UAE. Czech Republic and Hungary have been excluded because of lack of appropriate single-country ETFs in the market, UAE and Qatar for lack of sufficient data history, and Finland is under review for inclusion in our model next month.

  • 3. 3 How to Decipher the Graphs? www.Borealisga.com | 13 Richmond Lane | Columbia, SC 29223 | 803-319-6628 BGA Quantitative Factor Strength Look for strength in the number of factors and their sizes as they rise above the zero score line. In addition, a rising score line (in red), as it moves above the zero level is useful for short- term forecasts. The rankings to the left (blue side panel) show BGA’s short-term scoring as well as weighting relative to benchmark. BGA Medium-term Forecast Look for a positive stable or a slowly rising line with projected real returns above 0% or a chart with a significant rising valua- tion line both in time-frame and degree from historic lows. The calendar year forecast percentile rank is based on the inferred CY-M™ for the current calendar year (see footnotes). The Medi- um-term measures in the left panel reflect the real return fore- cast for the coming six-year period. Alert: Charts of Qatar and UAE have been excluded from the chart book due to limited data history and lack of ETFs. Chart of Finland has been excluded as its ETF has been in the market for less than five years.
