A UIT is a type of investment vehicle defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 as having a fixed portfolio of specified securities that it holds for a defined period of time, after which it terminates.

Unlike actively managed funds, a UIT does not trade its portfolio during its lifetime. Main advantages are lower costs, tax efficiency, and more predictable returns due to its static portfolio, but risks include lack of active management and sales charges.

Central counterparties (CCPs) clear trades by becoming the buyer to every seller and seller to every buyer, guaranteeing contract performance. CCPs use initial and variation margin, stress testing, and oversight of clearing members to manage risk.

This document provides an introduction to speculative markets, derivatives, and financial engineering. It defines speculative markets as markets that deal in derivative securities to manage financial risk. Derivatives derive their value from underlying assets and are created through financial engineering. Financial engineering is designing innovative financial instruments and processes to provide customized solutions to firms' financial risk management problems, such as interest rate and currency risk. It involves creating new securities and organizations through applying advances in related technologies. Financial innovation meets demands for risk sharing and transfer and lowers transaction costs.

FERMA member association Airmic is grateful to Chartis for producing this guide to captive insurance companies.
Airmic invited partners to select an area of expertise and produce an introductory to intermediate level guide for the benefit of Airmic members. The intention of this guide is to provide members with an overview of the topic and provide information on the practical considerations when managing this important insurance issue.
This guide has been written with a view to providing members with support when faced with such questions as...
- “What alternatives are available to buying cover in the commercial market?”
- “Can we save on premium spend and can we take more control of our risks?”
- “What do we need to do and what will it cost?”
If you already have a captive you may be asked to explain why and what it provides that the commercial market does not.
This is by no means a definitive guide; however we hope it will go some way to answer these questions and to help in your understanding of the world of captives and how they may work for your organisation.
This guide will take you through the life cycle of a captive from initial concept through to the benefit and uses and finally to exit strategies.

This document discusses Shariah non-compliance risk in Islamic finance. It begins by defining Shariah non-compliance risk as the risk arising from a failure of Islamic banks to comply with Shariah rules and principles as determined by their Shariah boards.

The document then outlines various measures that can be taken to manage this risk, such as ensuring contracts are structured to fulfill the pillars of a valid Islamic contract. Several examples of potential Shariah non-compliance in contracts like tawarruq, mudharabah and istisna' are also provided.
Structured funds combine financial instruments like equities, bonds, and derivatives to achieve specific risk and return profiles. Structured exchange-traded funds (ETFs) do the same but trade on an exchange. Structured funds use derivatives to synthetically replicate returns of an underlying asset.

Structured funds can be designed for capital preservation, regular income payments, and participation in market returns. They carry risks from their use of derivatives and guarantees only applying at maturity.

firm’s business culture and has been instrumental to the development of the firm’s excellent reputation amongst
investors. This is evidenced by our low client turnover. GAM does not take proprietary positions.

Investment Committee
• GAM’s Investment Committee is responsible for building model portfolios for a range of investment objectives and time
horizons. These models are used as a basis to build a portfolio for an individual client.
• Our approach to portfolio construction is to:
1) Identify the best assets to invest in
2) Combine them to minimise volatility
3) Establish the best investment route for each asset class
• Asset allocation is at the core of investment success-research has shown that 90% of returns come from the way you spread
your holdings across different asset classes, not through stock picking. The more asset classes one includes, the greater
potential there is for reduced volatility and enhanced returns.
• Our model portfolios reflect recommended asset allocations to equities, special situations, commodities & fixed interest. By
way of example, for an investor with a medium attitude to risk and a medium time horizon, GAM uses the following portfolios
as a template for subsequent investment dependent upon their investment objectives – balanced, income or capital growth.

Now we discuss these individual asset classes in turn.
As an independent stockbroker, we select the best investment route for each asset class based on value. As our income is derived from our transparent
pricing structure we tend to prefer direct investments and low cost exchange traded funds to expensive unit trusts and structured products. Costs chip away
at performance year after year and their impact compounds over time. There are few factors as predictive of future success as fees-they are the only
variable known at the outset. We believe our approach aligns GAM’s interests directly with those of the client.

Equities
GAM manages it’s equity allocation with the following principles in mind:
• Diversification - we invest in a total of 20 shares. This reduces company specific risk to the theoretical maximum level.
• Risk management – our investment managers are restricted to investing no more than 5% of the equity allocation in any one stock and 15% in any one sector.
Regarding the selection of stocks, GAM considers both technical and fundamental factors. Our criteria include:
• Low debt levels – We invest predominantly in companies with low debt levels, particularly important post credit crunch.
• Good earnings visibility – good forward visibility of earnings ensures a company has the ability to survive an economic downturn.
• Dividend yield - We invest predominantly in good dividend-paying companies whose dividends are well covered. Stocks with good dividends are less affected by market
volatility and over the long term, studies have found that dividend yield accounts for a greater proportion of total returns than capital gains.
• Value – We focus on companies that are inexpensive as measured by either price earnings multiples, price earnings growth or price to book value.
• Simplicity – We only invest in companies we understand.
The categories of shares we purchase come under the following broad headings – core defensive, cyclical and thematic.

12. Services – Discretionary
• Core Defensive
10 defensive sectors form the core of the equity allocation where the best in class companies are selected that are expected to perform
well irrespective of economic conditions. Our past stock selection has included:
Company Sector
Astrazeneca Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology
BP Oil & Gas Producers
BAE Systems Aerospace & Defence
British American Tobacco Tobacco
Diageo Beverages
Scottish & Southern Energy Electricity
Tesco Food & Drug Retailers
Unilever Food Producers
United Utilities Gas, Water & Multiutilities
Vodafone Mobile Telecommunications
These shares are bought to be held for the long term and are generally held for the long term unless an adverse situation happens with
the company or a more attractive proposition appears.
Over time these core defensive shares have tended to outperform the FTSE 100, whilst exhibiting lower levels of volatility. Thus this
selection provides the investor with a solid core from which to build a diversified portfolio & seek more adventurous returns.

13. Services – Discretionary
• Cyclical
A further 5 companies are selected from sectors that are in the current (or soon to be expected) economic cycle, such as:
Early Cycle = Automobiles & Parts, General Retailers, Household Goods, Leisure Goods, Life Insurance, Media and Travel & Leisure
Mid Cycle = Industrial Transportation, Mining, Oil & Gas Producers, Oil Equipment & Services, Real Estate, Software & Computer
Services and Technology Hardware & Equipment
Late Cycle = Banks, Chemicals, Construction & Materials, Electronic & Electrical Engineering, Equity Investment Instruments, Forestry
& Paper, General Industrials, General Financial, Industrial Engineering, Industrial Metals and Support Services
Our past stock selection has included:
Company Sector
Balfour Beatty Construction & Materials
BHP Biliton Mining
Clarkson Industrial Transportation
Royal Dutch Shell B Oil & Gas Producers
Standard Chartered Banks
These shares are generally bought for the short term.

14. Services – Discretionary
• Thematic
The final 5 investments are selected from themes that we believe will benefit from some underlying trend or catalyst.
Our past stock selection has included:
Company Sector Rationale
Chesnara Life Insurance High yielding, low-risk company yielding 8%
Halfords General Retailers Will benefit from consumer belt tightening
iShares Emg Mkts Equity Investment Instruments Higher GDP growth vs. developed markets
LVMH Personal goods Exposed to the high growth emerging markets
Syngenta Chemicals Will benefit from global shortage of food
These investments are generally bought for the medium term.

15. Services – Discretionary
Special Situations
Special situations is an asset class where we attempt to take advantage of short-term anomalies in the market and seek absolute returns that are
uncorrelated with the wider equity market.
For example, market anomalies occasionally present themselves in takeovers where the price of the target company does not rise to the bid price
(less the time cost of money). Bid arbitrage occurs in times of high market volatility and presents very attractive risk/return profiles.
Alternatively there may be a specific event that will trigger a rise in the share price.
Our past stock selection has included:
Company Sector Rationale
Amlin Non-life Insurance Share price should rise on the back of a benign hurricane season and low valuation
BG Group Oil & Gas Producers Potential takeover target for the likes of ExxonMobil
Carillion Support Services Will benefit from government cost cutting
Centamin Egypt Mining Potential takeover target, the AIM markets largest gold producer
These shares are bought with a very short term time horizon.

Special Situations (cont)
For investors with a higher risk tolerance, we can manage between 25% and 100% of the special situations allocation in either options or CFDs.
Options
Options are derivative contracts which can be used by investors in a diverse set of contexts - to insure their portfolios, purchase shares at a lower level
than the prevailing market price, enhance the yield of their equity portfolios or take leveraged positions whilst carrying a limited amount of risk. GAM
has traded options for many years, predominantly using the following trading strategies:
Covered calls
Selling out-of-the-money covered calls (where the option writer owns the obligated quantity of the underlying security and is obligated to
deliver the shares should they reach a certain level) is a popular strategy that enables the stockowner to generate additional income which
is similar to receiving an additional dividend.
Naked Puts
GAM recommends writing puts(where the option writer is obligated to purchase shares should it fall below a certain level) on key stocks it
recommends, selecting strike prices based upon a combination of fundamental and technical analysis, which fall into the core defensive and
cyclical categories
FTSE 100 Strangle
This strategy allows investors to trade the range of the FTSE 100 rather than the direction using options contracts by selling high strike price
call options whilst simultaneously selling low strike price put options. If the market stays within the range, the entire option premium is
retained
CFDs
Contracts for Difference are agreements to exchange the difference in value of a particular security, from when you enter into the contract to when you
close it, without the requirement to own the physical asset. CFDs are traded on margin, so you can take a position without having to pay the full value
of the transaction. The margin requirements are commonly just 10% for major shares. CFDs benefit from low commission rates, low margin and zero
stamp duty plus the facility to go short as well as long - thus profiting from falling as well as rising markets.
Our CFD offering covers over 7,000 shares worldwide, FX, indices, commodities and bonds. FX, indices and commodities can be traded commission
free, 24-hours a day. Clients can trade online as well as on their iPhone, Blackberry or iPad.
Disclaimer: Trading options & CFDs is a high risk strategy which can result in losses than exceed your initial deposit. Trading derivatives may not be suitable for everyone, so ensure that
your fully understand the risks involved.

17. Services – Discretionary
Commodities
Commodities add further diversification benefits to a portfolio. Gold, for example has a correlation of just 0.09 with the FTSE 100. Over long periods of
time the CFA Institute has found that portfolio’s containing a significant exposure to precious metals experience higher average annual returns whilst
exhibiting lower levels of volatility.
Our current investment selection includes:
Commodity Rationale
Gold Protects portfolio against inflation, particularly topical given the current debt levels and QE programmes. Gold is regarded
as a ‘safe haven’. The high reached in the 1980s equates to $2,200 today in inflation-adjusted terms.
Silver Similar to gold in that it is a store of value – the words for silver and money are in fact the same in 14 different languages.
Is trading at a historic low vs. the gold price. Unlike gold, silver is “consumed” in industrial processes which will support
the spot price.
Platinum Will benefit for increasing Chinese demand for cars, rising inflows into ETFs and its reputation as a store of value.
Palladium Will benefit for increasing Chinese demand for cars, tight supply and its reputation as a store of value.
Exposure is obtained by purchasing exchange traded funds that are listed on the London Stock Exchange, which hold the physical allocated metal
under trust in a vault at HSBC and have very low management fees.

Fixed Interest
Fixed interest forms an important part of a diversified portfolio that is often overlooked by private investors. You can get approximately the same return with lower risk by
adding corporate bonds to your portfolio. GAM manages it’s fixed interest allocation with the following principles in mind:
• Diversification - We invest in a total of 10 different bonds. This reduces company specific risk to a comfortable level. In the unlikely event of liquidation, corporate
bondholders have traditionally received 50 pence in the pound. If the bond allocation yielded 5%, that equates to a year’s worth of interest lost – not pleasant but not a
disaster neither.
• Risk management – Our investment managers are restricted to investing no more than 10% of the fixed interest allocation with any one company and 15% in any one
sector.
• Investment grade bonds - We only seek investment grade bonds from stable, defensive companies which boast a high level of interest cover. High yield bonds, or junk
bonds as they are known, are precisely that and are avoided.
• Bond Ladder – GAM specialises in investing in a bond strategy known as a bond ladder – where 10 bonds are purchased, each one maturing every year out to ten
years. When the first bond matures, it is reinvested back out at the end of the ladder. This strategy attempts to minimise risks associated with fixed-income securities
while managing cash flows for the individual investor.
Buying a bond ladder has the following advantages:
1) Interest rate forecasting is made redundant. If interest rates remain low, the majority of the portfolio is already invested in longer dated issues. If interest rates start to
rise, there is always a bond coming up for maturity which can be reinvested at the higher prevailing interest rate. Such a strategy obtains greater returns than from
holding only short-dated bonds, but with lower risk than holding only long-dated bonds. In any case, economists only have a 35% success of correctly forecasting
interest rates so why even try?
2) It provides investors with a constant stream of liquidity in two ways. First through interest payments which occur throughout the year (corporate bonds generally pay
interest payments once a year) and second by having steadily maturing bonds, investors also have a major source of liquidity through redemptions.
3) It reduces the reinvestment risk associated with rolling over maturing bonds into similar fixed-interest securities all at once.
4) It replaces the need to buy a diversified bond fund, which is similar to a share in that you are reliant upon the future price to get your money back. With a bond ladder
the investor knows what he will receive at the outset if the bonds are held to maturity no matter what the underlying movement in interest rates. Bond fund managers
have a poor record of achieving prudent outperformance and their high fees negate the pick-up in yield obtained from investing in investment grade corporate bonds.

Bond Ladder Example
A typical bond ladder constructed to give 10 rolling holdings maturing over the next decade may be composed as follows:
S&P Security Maturity
A- Centrica 5.375% 19/12/2012
BBB- British American Tobacco 5.75% 09/12/2013
BBB+ Pearson 7% 27/10/2014
AA- Nationwide 7.971% PIB 13/03/2015
A- Rolls Royce 7.375% 14/06/2016
A- National Grid 6% 07/06/2017
AAA European Investment Bank 4.75% 15/10/2018
A- Tesco 5.5% 13/12/2019
BBB+ Axa 7.125% 15/12/2020
Baa1 National Grid 1.25% I/L 06/10/2021
The bottom line is that by adopting this approach you should not get stuck one way or the other and can instead focus on the factors that are most important to the
fixed income investor - safety, high current income, predictability of future income and adaptability to changing conditions.
