Asset Class Trends

The evolving HF landscapeRecent returns have been disappointing leading to some redemption pressure, but overall we believe this is healthy for the industry.The focus by investors on diversity and value for the money will continue to dominate, and facilitating this effort is the recognition that“hedge funds” are not an asset class. There are diversifying return drivers that are best sourced outside of the traditional hedge fundstructure and for fees that are much less – commonly referred to as alternative beta strategies and include strategies such asreinsurance, carry, value, and merger arbitrage.However, given the rapid growth in this emerging space, there is some risk of crowding, and investors who don’t fully understand therisks of investing here should work with an advisor or outsource. This is especially important among the quantitative and factor-basedstrategies, many of which carry left tail risks and are managed using an antiquated or less differentiated approach.Further, while they are called alternative “beta” strategies, there usually is some element of manager skill necessary despite themechanical approach to implementation – for instance in screening, sourcing, modelling, risk management and execution. In termsof alpha seeking managers - that bar is high but there are definitely good opportunities for skillful managers; managers must be ableto prove they can add both diversity and incremental returns. Importantly, investors and consultants need to recognize the importanceof alpha diversity when building portfolios now more than ever; if not done correctly they can indirectly be making outsized “bets” onfactors such as style, sector, capitalization – which for instance hurt a number of investors and equity long/short managers in 1Q2016.Future outlookWhile there have been performance headwinds for hedge funds, the need for diversity away from traditional equities is the strongestit has been in several years in our opinion. Hedge funds and alternative beta strategies, which can be broadly categorized as liquidalternatives, are uniquely equipped to deliver returns while helping investors mitigate downside risks.While we anticipate that some capital will be withdrawn from the industry, especially the hedge fund of funds industry given the highfees traditionally charged by these organizations, overall we continue to see value to be had if done correctly, and we are advisingour clients to increase their allocations generally. Industry wide, we anticipate continued growth in alternative beta strategies andassets, perhaps offsetting any redemptions from alpha seeking managers who have struggled to perform.

Private Equity - Key Trends

© 2016 Willis Towers Watson. All rights reserved. Proprietary and Confidential. For Willis Towers Watson and Willis Towers Watson client use only. 7

The evolving private equity landscapeFundraising in private equity is buoyant off the heels of three years of very strong distributions and with investors looking for alphaafter other asset classes of late have not delivered on generating excess returns. The market had been somewhat bifurcated withthose managers boasting exceptional short- and long-term track records raising capital particularly quickly while others took longer tosecure capital. However, this trend has been less prevalent recently with the fund-raising tailwind meaning most institutional qualitymanagers have been able to raise capital, especially in the larger end of the market.With all this influx of capital and cheap financing with little to no covenants, pricing both in the US and Europe are at or near all-timehighs though deal flow for both markets have cooled given the pricing. Meticulous selectivity with managers who have provendiscipline in prior cycles and have a range of skills to bring to bear on their portfolio companies will become critical in the next phaseof the cycle.The secondary market continues to mature and grow in prominence, increasing the liquidity of the asset class though pricing hascome down a bit since the highs of last year. This has been due more towards public market sentiment rather than a drastic changein supply and demand.Future outlookLast year we noted that the pressure on fees will be volatile and tends to be inversely correlated with positive market sentiment andindeed that has been the case with some managers getting terms that were very manager friendly. However, we expect continueddownward pressure on fees over the long term. Part of that pressure will be from the on-going dis-intermediation story in privateequity with large asset owners doing deals themselves or at the very least investing in fund directly without the need of a fund offunds. For fund of fund managers, they have been moving more towards separate accounts and away from commingled funds.Going forward, we would expect to see more development in customized portfolios for investors, especially from the larger managerswho have created asset management business instead of pure play private equity ones. For private equity managers in the small andmid-market space, we expect more of the same with those managers providing exposure through commingled funds with some co-investment opportunities.

Asset Class Trends

The evolving real estate landscapeReal estate markets have continued to perform strongly driven by investors’ desire for attractive yields in a low (or in some cases negative)bond yield environment and, in many markets, healthy rental growth. In many ways it feels like 2007. Double digit returns, transactionvolumes at multi-year highs, yields reaching multi-year lows, debt costs at ever lower levels on higher loan-to-value terms, regional (non-gateway) locations seeing increased investor interest, speculative development starting to re-emerge and fund raising breaking records interms of speed and size. We have also seen a growing trend of private real estate funds acquiring listed property companies, a trend whichwe last saw emerge at the previous peak in markets. This being said, unlike 2007, the property yield spread relative to long termgovernment bonds shows a healthy spread, which provides some investor comfort. Further, much of continental Europe hasn’t seen asmuch of the rally in recent years and appears some way from peak cycle behaviours.Listed property companies in aggregate are trading at higher relative valuations to long run averages. However, there are some notableexceptions such as the UK, where the listed market appears to be more pessimistic relative to the unlisted market around Brexit fears, andthe Hong Kong market where stock market pricing appears to be taking a more negative view of a Chinese slowdown compared to unlistedmarkets.Long lease property strategies in Europe have continued to see interest from de-risking pension funds given the expected return differentialrelative to bonds. In many regions around the world we are seeing growing interest in alternative property sectors such as healthcare,storage, student assets or the Private Rented Sector (PRS) in the UK. Strategically, the addition of these alternative sectors generally helpsdiversify against the cyclicality of offices which can often be a disproportional contributor to risk in portfolios.

Future outlookDespite real estate in many regions looking attractive relative to bonds, we believe investors should be more patient and selective wheninvesting new real estate allocations at the current time. We believe US and UK markets are at higher points in their real estate cycles,meaning one needs to be increasingly cautious of higher risk property strategies, particularly those using high levels of debt. TheContinental European market appears further away from peak cycle. Despite its economic issues, with low (or negative) interest ratesproperty looks reasonably supported as long as prolonged deflation can be avoided. Emerging market property markets have been weakand although near term catalysts remain uncertain, there could be attractive entry points for long term investments in certain sectors.We believe future demand for long lease property strategy is likely to persist as long as bond yields remain low. The ability to sourceattractive assets however is becoming more difficult and so subscription queues for such strategies may well increase.We expect greater defensiveness from certain property sectors more aligned with thematic tailwinds such as like student assets (growingemerging market wealth), property healthcare (demographics), logistics (e-commerce) and residential/storage (urbanization).

Infrastructure - Key Trends

Asset Class Trends

The evolving infrastructure landscapeDeployment by institutional investors into the infrastructure asset class has increased again. As can be seen elsewhere in the investment universe, there is a trend for the more successful funds to increase in size, sometimes quite substantially. On the other hand, a significant number of funds who were among the early closed-ended fund offerings are reaching the end of their lives and are finding that the future looks uncertain. This is driving activity around extensions, stapled offerings, etc. As the industry has matured, better discipline can be seen by the manager universe regarding deal selection and pricing as well as asset management. It is in the area of fund size and terms where there is a lot more work to be done although progress here can also be identified. The trend of large institutional investors seeking to access deals directly continues in the infrastructure space which makes sense given the size of assets which are available in this asset class. We are also seeing governments becoming more vocal and active in attempting to encourage institutional investors to invest in infrastructure in their jurisdictions.

Future outlookThe increased institutional investor interest in infrastructure investments has both cyclical and structural aspects. Cyclically investorsare facing an uncertain economic outlook and are seeking opportunities to diversify risks and return drivers. Structurally almost allinstitutions are either not yet invested in infrastructure or are below their target allocation. Despite the headlines which suggest thatinvestor demand is outpacing supply and therefore driving up asset prices, the reality is that the requirement for private investment ininfrastructure is immense in all geographic regions.We will continue to see managers develop in order to capture these opportunities through more engagement with stakeholders(governments, regulators, communities), possibly more specialisation and definitely a higher appreciation of the asset managementskills required to manage the risks inherent in an infrastructure portfolio. We will also continue to see the range of implementationoptions for investors increase beyond the traditional private equity-like pooled fund model and the in-house direct investment model.

Commodities - Key Trends

Asset Class Trends

The evolving real assets landscapeIncreased volatility and a weakening in some of the major commodity markets – led by the energy sector in particular – reduced investor confidence in 2015. A general trend of net outflows has persisted in the industry, while performance has struggled since 2011. Recent years have also seen several big managers exit the space. Although investors do still seek commodity exposure within their diversifying portfolios, the asset class has been de-emphasised relative to its heightened popularity in the early 2000s when strong performance attracted investors into the space. While we do not encourage investors to chase returns, it remains that commodities face an uncertain outlook over the coming years and this is being reflected in investor preference.

Future outlookOur medium-term view on commodities remains neutral. Our outlook is primarily driven by energy, due to its high weighting in themajor commodities indices, DJ UBS and S&P GSC. Whilst oil markets have begun the process of rebalancing, political decisions,Iran’s re-entrance into the oil market and declining costs of extraction have factored into our market outlook. These conditions arecurrently offsetting moderate demand increases and we predict that oversupply conditions will persist at least until the end of 2016.Over the medium term we believe the forward curve represents a reasonable outlook for medium term oil prices.In the other extractive resources, whilst there are idiosyncratic factors, the shift in China’s economy from a resource driven,investment led economy towards consumer based economic growth has led to a downward pressure on prices for many industrialmetals. Copper and aluminium prices bottomed at the beginning of the year, but are yet to undergo a durable recovery (in anabsolute sense), we remain cautious over the medium term outlook for these metals.

Asset Class Trends

The evolving real assets landscapeReal assets are experiencing increased investor interest for their diversification benefits in a world where the economic outlook is mostly uninspiring. New managers and strategies continue to appear on a regular basis. In agriculture, substantial allocations have been made by a range of institutional investors. Managers are beginning to look beyond land-only strategies to also focus on how supply chain initiatives can help boost returns and dampen volatility. We have also seen the appearance of a few water strategies which is a popular theme with investors. The timberland market seems to have flattened somewhat which may not be surprising given that it is the most mature area of real assets. And finally, there are a large number of managers seeking to exploit the opportunity in the mining sector caused by the lack of access to traditional sources of finance, banks and the public equity markets.Future outlookInvestments by institutional investors in real assets is still at a very nascent stage despite the ever increasing amount of interest. Asthe asset class matures, we expect it to follow the trajectories of the real estate and infrastructure sectors. We are seeing a widerrange of strategies, vehicles and alignment structures being introduced into the market. This is a natural part of the development ofthe asset class and should enable more institutions to find implementation routes which suit them.In the key agricultural markets of the US and Brazil, dampening prices and a more attractive entry level from a currency perspectivecould drive an uptick in interest in those two regions respectively. However, in the short team the pressure on US farmland pricesseems to be causing a certain amount of nervousness in the market. Timberland managers will continue to develop their capabilitiesoutside of the US which will enable investors to access an opportunity set which is at a more interesting stage of development thanthe one in the US. We are likely to continue to see new strategies emerge which are related to water and other environmental orsustainability themes.

Illiquid Credit - Key Trends

© 2016 Willis Towers Watson. All rights reserved. Proprietary and Confidential. For Willis Towers Watson and Willis Towers Watson client use only. 12

The evolving illiquid credit landscapeThe illiquid credit category is inclusive of all closed-end funds with a predominant focus on credit, with the most common beingprivate debt (e.g. direct lending, commercial real estate debt, mezzanine, etc.) and distressed debt.The key trend has been the continued growth of the institutional lending landscape, with numerous new funds being raised globally, and increasing interest in private debt strategies by investors globally. We expect this trend to continue.Investor appetite also continues apace as investors consider taking on both greater illiquidity and risk in their credit portfolios to compensate for lower yields in public markets. Additionally, investors appear ever more comfortable allocating to specialist strategies, recognizing that the private debt space is becoming a much more varied marketplace today.There are some concerns that as competition has increased in some markets that yields are not always offering sufficient compensation for the illiquidity and risk being assumed, so we would urge caution when reviewing private debt strategies today.Talking to distressed debt, volatility in commodity markets in 2015 and continuing into 2016 has seen a resumption of interest in that asset class, with defaults predicted to rise. Whether this remains specific to metals, mining, oil and gas or is the start of a broader pick up in defaults remains to be seen.

Future outlookWe expect that demand for private debt strategies will remain high, particularly for those asset classes offering floating rate yields.Some asset classes will, however, become less attractive as ever more institutional capital flows into the asset class. We would alsoexpect that more specialist strategies will attract greater interest.

Insurance-Linked Investments - Key Trends

Asset Class Trends

The evolving insurance-linked investments landscapeInstitutional investors continue to allocate to Insurance-Linked Investments (ILI) in order to build diversity into portfolios. The greater acceptance of ILI by pension funds in particular has led to increasing inflows into the asset class, which in turn has led some industry observers commenting that the flow of pension investments are only temporary and that the funds will flow back out following a large natural catastrophe loss or an increase in interest rates. We believe that most of the institutional allocations in recent years were made for strategic reasons and that the institutional demand for ILI is here to stay.

Future outlookThe premiums for catastrophe reinsurance have been coming down in recent years. This has been a result of not just the inflow ofinstitutional capital, but moreover as a result of the limited natural catastrophe losses in recent years which has led to reinsurancecompanies having stronger balance sheets and having less need to transfer certain risks as a result. That said, we have seenpremiums stabilise in recent renewal seasons and expect this to continue over the next 12 months. ILI funds targeting higher returns,have seen increased competition and capacity constraints as a result of the broader “chase for yield”.On the flip side, the ILI funds targeting more remote and lower risk events are likely to continue to generate an attractive risk-rewardratio, as competition in this segment of the market is less given the high return requirements of the traditional reinsurance companies(who have a higher cost of capital). Further the larger and well-managed funds are expected to outperform their smaller rivals, byusing their economies of scale to cut out costs and source the most attractive deals. We expect managers that have been sellingoverpriced ILI beta to come under pressure, with the more innovative and well-resourced managers continuing the flourish.

Glossary

Funds of Hedge Funds: A Hedge Fund of Funds is an investment structure that pools capital from investors within a commingled vehicle that allocates it to Hedge Funds, instead of investing directly into opportunities.

Direct Hedge Funds: Hedge Funds are private, offshore domiciled investment vehicles seeking to generate absolute returns regardless of the performance of overall markets. To achieve that, hedge funds can take advantage of a broad spectrum of tools including leverage and short selling and they are typically not subject to any formal investment restrictions. Hedge Funds are usually at the more liquid end of the investment spectrum.

Private Equity FoF: A Private Equity Fund of Funds is an investment structure that pools capital from investors and commits it to direct private equity funds, this includes secondary managers.

Direct Private Equity Funds: Private Equity is equity capital that is not quoted on a public exchange. It consists of investors and funds that make investments directly into private companies or conduct buyouts of public companies that result in a delisting of public equity.

Direct Real Estate Funds: Real estate strategies are those substantially investing directly or indirectly in buildings or land, largely without any operational business exposure attached (aside from hotels). This would include both listed and unlisted securities, and equity and debt investments in real estate. We would exclude securities debt from our definition (e.g. RMBS or CMBS).

Direct Commodities Funds: Commodities are a distinct asset used in the production of good and services. Price is determined by supply and demand dynamicsrather than future cash flows, which implies that traditional valuation methods do not apply. Participants in this market include commodity producers and speculators. Producers trade mostly physical assets, but use derivatives to hedge against price movement, whilst speculators trade mostly derivatives given the costs associated with storage. Some examples of commodities include coffee, oil and gold.

Direct Infrastructure Funds: Infrastructure assets are the facilities and structures essential for the orderly operations of an economy. Infrastructure assets generally also demonstrate monopolistic characteristics and high barriers to entry for competitors. Examples of infrastructure assets include transportation networks, health and education facilities, communications networks, water and energy distribution systems provide essential services to communities.

Real Assets (eg agriculture, timber, water): Real assets strategies include a wide range of investment opportunities, ie in agriculture/farmland, timberland, water (including water rights), natural resources, etc. The distinctive characteristic of real asset is tangible underlying asset and its connection to food and resource scarcity theme. The strategies may be focused either on delivering cash yield to investors (limited exposure to operational business) or on capital appreciation (significant exposure to operational business).

Illiquid Credit: Illiquid credit strategies encompass private debt opportunities, for example real estate debt, direct lending, mezzanine etc., and other private equity style funds with a predominant focus on distressed debt-biased strategies (for example non-performing loans) where there is not expected to be equity control.

Insurance-Linked Investments: An Insurance-Linked Investment product is an investment fund that offers investors exposure to insurance-related premium, predominantly related to P&C risk (mainly property catastrophe risk).

Pension funds: Includes public pension funds, private sector pension funds and superannuation schemes.

Wealth managers: Includes high net worth individuals, family offices, asset managers, corporate investors, private companies and investment companies.
