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 -1.47%
gross of fees, underperforming its benchmark by -0.03%
• Global financial markets did not stage a year-end rally:
equities were mostly weaker, spreads widened, oil prices
continued to decline
• ECB stimulus measures did not meet high expectations, the
Fed on the other hand did what most expected and raised
rates for the first time since 2006
• 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 posted negative returns across the board,
the Eurostoxx 50 lost -6.81%. Spain’s IBEX equity index was particu-
larly weak (-8.11%) as elections in Spain resulted in the most frag-
mented parliament ever, raising concerns over Spain’s ongoing will-
ingness to continue on its path of austerity. On December 3rd, the
ECB announced a further cut of -0.1% in its deposit rate (to -0.3%)
and an extension of its bond-buying programme by 6 months.
Financial markets reacted disappointed, as many had expected a
deeper cut, a longer extension and possibly the announcement of
additional purchases. On the data front there were again no real sur-
prises; the Eurozone economy continues its slow march forward.
Leading indicators showed modest expansion, inflation remains low.
In the US, both the S&P 500 (-1.75%) and the technology led Nasdaq
Index (-1.98%) showed negative returns. On December 16, The
Federal Open Market Committee decided unanimously to hike the
Federal Funds Rate by +0.25%. The hike was widely anticipated and
did not affect markets much on announcement. Fed Chair Yellen
quoted the US economy’s considerable strength as the main reason
for the decision, and furthermore said the process of raising rates is
likely to proceed gradually. On the data front, leading indicators con-
tinued to show moderate expansion. The US labor market continues
to look reasonably firm, November’s nonfarm payroll number (+211k)
was stronger than expected. Unemployment remained constant at
5%, but has to be seen in the light of a very low labor participation
rate (of just 62.5%). The US Dollar weakened marginally versus the
Euro to close the year at 1.09.
In Asia, Chinese bourses posted their third consecutive positive
month after a difficult third quarter. The Shanghai Composite was
higher by +2.72%, the Shenzen Composite was better by +4.78%. In
Japan, the Topix equity index declined by -2.09%, not helped by a
stronger Yen.
Credit markets showed similar patterns in Europe and the US.
Spreads were wider in Europe (crossover +25bps, investment grade
+7bps), and the US (high yield +19bps, investment grade +4bps).
Interest rates edged higher across the board. German 10y Bund
yields closed +16bps for the month at 63bps. In the US, 10 year US
treasuries yields were higher by +6bps to close at 227bps.
Investment Performance
NN (L) Global Convertible Opportunities returned -1.47% gross of
fees, -0.03% worse than its benchmark.
The two main negative contributors to performance were electronic
component manufactures Taiyo Yuden (TAIYO, theme: electronic
components) and brand management company Iconix (ICON, theme:
US consumer growth). Despite showing strong growth in both reve-
nues and profits, TAIYO shares declined alongside other Apple suppli-
ers on reported slowing IPhone sales and subsequent broker down-
grades. We continue to believe in TAIYO’s strong product portfolio
and discounted valuation compared to peers. ICON traded lower on
the back of an SEC investigation into their accounting treatment of
joint ventures. We believe this is a formality as its accounting prac-
tices have just recently been verified by an independent audit com-
mittee.
Positive contributors for the month were Starwood Property (STWD,
theme: bank delevering) and Jarden Corporation (JAH, theme: US
consumer growth). Commercial mortgage REIT STWD gained as its
shares recovered from the fear of a rate hike that seemed to be
priced in in its share price. We believe STWD will continue to do well
as the company benefits from its scale, solid execution and conserva-
tive financing. JAH shares were higher after announcing a merger
with peer Newell Rubbermaid.
Outlook and Portfolio Positioning
Our outlook for financial markets in 2016 remains cautiously positive.
We do expect 2016 to be more challenging than 2015 as the US
Federal Reserve is now on a path of tightening, which is likely to have
effects on a global scale, particularly for emerging markets. Looking
forward we believe convertible bond investors are well positioned,
through the convex nature of the product, to navigate markets that
are likely to show 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 2016 can be achieved, but are not sure markets are
ready for sustained rate hikes. 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 emerging markets as we often struggle with the lack of vis-
ibility in these markets, we are able to maintain exposure to these
regions of high growth through convertible bonds issued by compa-
nies 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 delevering.
