NN Global Convertible Opportunities
Strategy Brief
Portfolio management Strategy description
The NN (L) Global Convertible Opportunities fund invests long-only in a port-
folio of thoroughly researched convertible bonds. Convertible bonds are sen-
ior unsecured bonds that are convertible into shares at a fixed price, they typi-
cally have short durations and are well suited to diversify classic portfolios of
stocks and bonds.
The fund is actively managed and invested in balanced convertibles that pro-
vide asymmetrical returns.
Objective
The fund aims to outperform the global convertible universe (measured by
the Thomson Reuters Global Focus Index – Hedged) by 200bps pa.
Investment Process
The investment process is designed to capture the benefits of convertible
bonds: downside protection and equity upside participation.
The team is very selective with regard to the credit quality of the issuers it
selects through in-depth in house analysis.
Convertibles from screened issuers are chosen for both their equity potential
and convex structure.
Investments are grouped by theme rather than by sector, where a theme is
a name given to the (main) common driver of a group of investments. We
find that a thematic approach allows us to express our top down views
more accurately than a traditional sectoral approach, as sectors often
have a very dispersed set of return drivers.
Aggregate risks of the portfolio such as equity risk and equity sensitivity are
closely monitored, and sector concentration is limited to 20% for any single
sector.

NN Global Convertible Opportunities - Strategy Brief
Main Points
•	 NN (L) Global Convertible Opportunities returned -0.77%
gross of fees, underperforming its benchmark by -0.93%
•	 After a very strong month of October, convertible bond
returns were more muted in November, in line with most
global equity and corporate bond markets
•	 Global commodity markets continue to struggle, as finan-
cial markets await the next move of the ECB and Federal
Reserve in December
•	 We maintain our cautious stance on global financial mar-
kets and choose to take conviction based positions in busi-
nesses that are likely to benefit from favorable (sub)sector
dynamics, using a theme based framework
Market Review
European equity markets showed positive returns in a month that
will be remembered for its tragic events in Paris. The Eurostoxx 50
gained +2.58%, the German DAX equity index was particularly firm
and advanced by +4.90%, helped by a weakening euro. Expectations
of monetary policy divergence (more policy easing in Europe, policy
tightening in the US) pushed the euro further down from 1.10 to 1.06
versus the US Dollar during the course of the month. On the data
front there were no real surprises; the Eurozone economy seems to
continue its slow yet steady march forward. Leading indicators con-
tinue to show modest expansion, economic sentiment is improving,
year on year euro area GDP growth came in at +1.6%.
In the US, both the S&P 500 (+0.05%) and the technology led Nasdaq
Index (+1.09%) showed positive returns. The S&P 500 has been very
volatile during the month, as it recovered from a c.-3% drawdown
intra month. Strong employment data, nonfarm payrolls exceeded
expectations at +271k in October, caused the odds of a December
rate hike in to increase to c.75%. Leading indicators showed similar
positive signs. As mentioned earlier, the US Dollar continued its path
of strengthening versus the euro on the back of expected monetary
policy divergence.
In Asia, Chinese bourses continued to recover from a very weak Q3.
The Shanghai Composite was higher by +1.86%, the Shenzen
Composite was better by +9.37%. Even though economic indicators
continue to come in fairly weak, fears of a significant slowdown
appear to have receded. In Japan, the economy slipped into a techni-
cal recession, printing its second consecutive quarter of economic
contraction. This is the fourth such recession in 5 years, and shows
that the so called Abenomics programme is struggling to lift eco-
nomic activity. The Topix equity index nonetheless advanced by
+1.42%.
Credit markets showed different patterns in Europe and the US.
Spreads were tighter in Europe (crossover -8bps, investment grade
-1bp), and wider the US (high yield +24bps, investment grade +5bps).
Interest rates showed equally mixed paths. German 10y Bund yields
closed -4bps lower for the month at 47bps. In the US, 10 year US
treasuries yields were higher by +6bps to close at 221bps.
Investment Performance
NN (L) Global Convertible Opportunities returned -0.77% gross of
fees, -0.93% worse than its benchmark.
The two main negative contributors to performance were online
travel agent Priceline (PCLN, theme: online spending) and brand
management company Iconix (ICON, theme: US consumer growth).
Even though PCLN beat expectations both on revenues and profits in
Q3, investors were disappointed in the companies’ Q4 guidance. On
top of that, sentiment was hurt by a fear people would travel less as
a result of the tragic events in Paris during the month. ICON traded
lower on the back of the (pre-announced) restatement of some of
their past accounts.
Positive contributors for the month were Taiyo Yuden (TAIYO, theme:
electronic components) and Huron Consulting (HURN, theme: health-
care spending). Electronic component manufacturer TAIYO gained on
the back of positive results and subsequent broker upgrades.
Consultancy firm HURN shares recovered after a tough month of
October when they published their Q3 results that disappointed
investors.
Outlook and Portfolio Positioning
Our outlook on financial markets remains cautiously positive.
Looking forward we believe convertible bond investors are well posi-
tioned, through the convex nature of the product, to navigate mar-
kets that are likely to show more divergence, and possibly even
decoupling, going forward.
In Europe, we believe QE will continue to support risk asset valua-
tions, should spur growth and employment, and will eventually lead
to inflation. With respect to the US, we believe it’s expected growth
rate of 2-3% in 2015 can be achieved, but are not sure markets are
ready for the anticipated path of tightening, now expected to start
in Q4 2015. As for Japan, we believe financial stimulus measures will
continue to support risk asset valuations. Our Fund tends to be
underweight convertible bonds that are issued in China and emerg-
ing markets as we often struggle with the lack of visibility in these
markets, we are able to maintain exposure to these regions of high
growth through convertible bonds issued by companies in developed
markets.
We continue to be invested in a portfolio of convertible bonds that
have solid credit fundamentals and either material equity upside, an
attractive yield, or both. In identifying investment opportunities we
use themes to group drivers of return. Our four biggest themes are
currently Cloud computing, Corporate Rationalization, Healthcare
spending and Bank deleveraging.

[LATAM ES] Strategy Brief / Global Convertible Opportunities / November 2015

  • 1. formerly known as Ivan Nikolov Senior Portfolio Manager Experience since: 2008 With ING/NN since: 2015 Integrated in the Global Credit boutique with access to the NN Equity research team of 25 Analysts www.nnip.com Month ending 30 November 2015For professional use only Tarek Saber Lead Portfolio Manager Experience since: 1986 With ING/NN since: 2014 Jasper van Ingen Senior Portfolio Manager Experience since: 2002 With ING/NN since: 2014 NN Global Convertible Opportunities Strategy Brief Portfolio management Strategy description The NN (L) Global Convertible Opportunities fund invests long-only in a port- folio of thoroughly researched convertible bonds. Convertible bonds are sen- ior unsecured bonds that are convertible into shares at a fixed price, they typi- cally have short durations and are well suited to diversify classic portfolios of stocks and bonds. The fund is actively managed and invested in balanced convertibles that pro- vide asymmetrical returns. Objective The fund aims to outperform the global convertible universe (measured by the Thomson Reuters Global Focus Index – Hedged) by 200bps pa. Investment Process The investment process is designed to capture the benefits of convertible bonds: downside protection and equity upside participation. The team is very selective with regard to the credit quality of the issuers it selects through in-depth in house analysis. Convertibles from screened issuers are chosen for both their equity potential and convex structure. Investments are grouped by theme rather than by sector, where a theme is a name given to the (main) common driver of a group of investments. We find that a thematic approach allows us to express our top down views more accurately than a traditional sectoral approach, as sectors often have a very dispersed set of return drivers. Aggregate risks of the portfolio such as equity risk and equity sensitivity are closely monitored, and sector concentration is limited to 20% for any single sector. Contribution to process and returns Key Elements of the Strategy • Experienced convertible team with access to broad research resources within NN IP • High conviction process with proven track record • Process designed to maximize the benefits of convertible investment with downside protection , limited equity risk and strong equity upside participation • Focus on mixed convertibles with reasonable valuations Security Selection Based on both bottom up credit research aimed at providing capi- tal protection, and convertible selection with optimal convex characteristics Top Down Allocation Theme based underlying equity selection with identified catalysts HIGH HIGH LOW LOW NN Investment Partners at a Glance NN Investment Partners is the asset manager of NN Group N.V., a publicly traded corpora­tion. NN IP is head-quartered in The Hague, The Netherlands. NN IP manages in aggregate approximately EUR 180bln* (USD 202bln*) in assets for institutions and individual investors worldwide. NN IP employs over 1200 staff and is active in 16 countries across Europe, Middle East, Asia and U.S. *Figures as of 30 September 2015 For more information on NN IP’s investment strategies or our mutual funds, please contact your sales representative or relationship manager.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results and the possibility of loss does exist. 2 NN Global Convertible Opportunities - Strategy Brief Main Points • NN (L) Global Convertible Opportunities returned -0.77% gross of fees, underperforming its benchmark by -0.93% • After a very strong month of October, convertible bond returns were more muted in November, in line with most global equity and corporate bond markets • Global commodity markets continue to struggle, as finan- cial markets await the next move of the ECB and Federal Reserve in December • We maintain our cautious stance on global financial mar- kets and choose to take conviction based positions in busi- nesses that are likely to benefit from favorable (sub)sector dynamics, using a theme based framework Market Review European equity markets showed positive returns in a month that will be remembered for its tragic events in Paris. The Eurostoxx 50 gained +2.58%, the German DAX equity index was particularly firm and advanced by +4.90%, helped by a weakening euro. Expectations of monetary policy divergence (more policy easing in Europe, policy tightening in the US) pushed the euro further down from 1.10 to 1.06 versus the US Dollar during the course of the month. On the data front there were no real surprises; the Eurozone economy seems to continue its slow yet steady march forward. Leading indicators con- tinue to show modest expansion, economic sentiment is improving, year on year euro area GDP growth came in at +1.6%. In the US, both the S&P 500 (+0.05%) and the technology led Nasdaq Index (+1.09%) showed positive returns. The S&P 500 has been very volatile during the month, as it recovered from a c.-3% drawdown intra month. Strong employment data, nonfarm payrolls exceeded expectations at +271k in October, caused the odds of a December rate hike in to increase to c.75%. Leading indicators showed similar positive signs. As mentioned earlier, the US Dollar continued its path of strengthening versus the euro on the back of expected monetary policy divergence. In Asia, Chinese bourses continued to recover from a very weak Q3. The Shanghai Composite was higher by +1.86%, the Shenzen Composite was better by +9.37%. Even though economic indicators continue to come in fairly weak, fears of a significant slowdown appear to have receded. In Japan, the economy slipped into a techni- cal recession, printing its second consecutive quarter of economic contraction. This is the fourth such recession in 5 years, and shows that the so called Abenomics programme is struggling to lift eco- nomic activity. The Topix equity index nonetheless advanced by +1.42%. Credit markets showed different patterns in Europe and the US. Spreads were tighter in Europe (crossover -8bps, investment grade -1bp), and wider the US (high yield +24bps, investment grade +5bps). Interest rates showed equally mixed paths. German 10y Bund yields closed -4bps lower for the month at 47bps. In the US, 10 year US treasuries yields were higher by +6bps to close at 221bps. Investment Performance NN (L) Global Convertible Opportunities returned -0.77% gross of fees, -0.93% worse than its benchmark. The two main negative contributors to performance were online travel agent Priceline (PCLN, theme: online spending) and brand management company Iconix (ICON, theme: US consumer growth). Even though PCLN beat expectations both on revenues and profits in Q3, investors were disappointed in the companies’ Q4 guidance. On top of that, sentiment was hurt by a fear people would travel less as a result of the tragic events in Paris during the month. ICON traded lower on the back of the (pre-announced) restatement of some of their past accounts. Positive contributors for the month were Taiyo Yuden (TAIYO, theme: electronic components) and Huron Consulting (HURN, theme: health- care spending). Electronic component manufacturer TAIYO gained on the back of positive results and subsequent broker upgrades. Consultancy firm HURN shares recovered after a tough month of October when they published their Q3 results that disappointed investors. Outlook and Portfolio Positioning Our outlook on financial markets remains cautiously positive. Looking forward we believe convertible bond investors are well posi- tioned, through the convex nature of the product, to navigate mar- kets that are likely to show more divergence, and possibly even decoupling, going forward. In Europe, we believe QE will continue to support risk asset valua- tions, should spur growth and employment, and will eventually lead to inflation. With respect to the US, we believe it’s expected growth rate of 2-3% in 2015 can be achieved, but are not sure markets are ready for the anticipated path of tightening, now expected to start in Q4 2015. As for Japan, we believe financial stimulus measures will continue to support risk asset valuations. Our Fund tends to be underweight convertible bonds that are issued in China and emerg- ing markets as we often struggle with the lack of visibility in these markets, we are able to maintain exposure to these regions of high growth through convertible bonds issued by companies in developed markets. We continue to be invested in a portfolio of convertible bonds that have solid credit fundamentals and either material equity upside, an attractive yield, or both. In identifying investment opportunities we use themes to group drivers of return. Our four biggest themes are currently Cloud computing, Corporate Rationalization, Healthcare spending and Bank deleveraging.
