We See A Compelling Opportunity In Healthcare

• The resurgence of the healthcare sector has been unsung and largely unnoticed

– Healthcare has been an unloved sector – drug patent expirations, healthcare reform and government austerity have

together led investors to question the growth opportunities – recent interest has focused on defensive growth

• Underlying fundamentals have not changed and are still positive

– An aging population in the developed world will demand more healthcare and GDP growth is set to drive increased

healthcare spending in emerging markets

• We think healthcare systems across the world have begun a process of major structural change

– Technological innovation is the catalyst for what we think will be a “once in a generation” transformation

• Government austerity plans accelerate the need to reform the 20th century infrastructure

– Companies with products or services that deliver better healthcare for less will be able to grow despite a difficult

macroeconomic environment

• To take advantage of the investment opportunities we think you need to have a broad investment universe

– Healthcare investing is not about big drug stocks, our investment universe covers the entire value chain

Aging Populations Point To A Key Inflection Point

• The first of the US baby-boomers reached retirement age last year

– The baby boomers expect a higher quality of life than their parents’ generation

• Developed markets will witness strong growth in demand for at least a decade

– We expect to see a large increase in chronic conditions associated with old age

Controlling Costs Is A Long-Term Issue

• OECD health spending has been increasing well above GDP growth for the last decade

– We believe that this is unsustainable but an aging population creates upward pressure on budgets

• It would be politically “difficult” for a Western government to cut its healthcare budget

– But governments can change the way money is spent and we see a focus on improving efficiency

Governments need to manage the growth of health spending

The Investment Strategy Has to Change

• Healthcare used to be about growing the size of the pie with little regard to cost

‒ We think less will be spent on people and buildings and more allocated to drugs, devices and technology

We think the mix of healthcare spending will change

• In the US, changes in healthcare insurance have made individuals more cost-conscious

– In particular, annual deductibles and co-pays have risen significantly over the last decade

• Even in Europe, some parts of healthcare are discretionary

– Most dental procedures are out-of-pocket and cosmetic procedures are more like luxury goods

• Healthcare companies have to show that their products/services deliver value

– Companies can maintain pricing power if they add real value but the era of “me too” drugs and modest technical

improvements seems to have come to an end

• Inefficiency is a major problem in healthcare systems across the world

– Most healthcare systems reward volume not quality – we think reimbursement systems are beginning to change

• Innovation is the best way to improve quality and reduce costs

– We look to invest in companies with new drugs or technologies that can change the way medicine is practised or target

unmet medical needs

• Infrastructure is critical in both emerging markets and developed countries

– Countries such as China are at the start of building an integrated healthcare system while developed countries, such as

Germany, look to the private sector to cut costs

Value means improving outcomes and cutting costs

Healthcare Is Cheap And Has Rebounded

• Historically, healthcare has traded at a premium to the market

‒ The two exceptions are related to the election of a Democrat as US President

• Slowing top-line growth for pharmaceutical companies has not helped

‒ However, we believe that the catalysts are in place for a sector recovery

Republican

• If President Obama is re-elected then the expansion of healthcare provision will remain on track

– This will be a positive for hospitals and Medicaid managed care stocks

• The composition of the Senate is less certain but is critical for fiscal cliff discussions in 2013

– The concern is that healthcare spending may come under pressure when the fiscal deficit is addressed

R&D Productivity May Be Starting To Improve

• We think that we may be at the beginning of a new wave of drugs

– We think the low level of productivity seen over the last decade may be a function of the innovation cycle – similar to the

fallow period seen in the 1970s

• Technology is the driver – it is now possible to sequence a human genome for $1,000

– The first human genome sequence cost over $1 billion back in 1999/2000

• After a decade of basic research, there is now a more detailed understanding of disease at the molecular level

– This means scientists have found new, and potentially better, ways of targeting disease

• The biotechnology sector is leading the way but pharmaceutical companies are not far behind

– Some made significant advances have been made in rare genetic diseases, cancer and inflammatory disease

• Diagnostics tests will be an essential of this new era of medicine

– Nearly all drug development programmes now incorporate a biomarker strategy to either select the right patients,

monitor drug activity or identify potential safety issues

• Companion diagnostics are already here – the era of personalised medicine has begun

– Qiagen launched two tests this year that determine whether a colorectal cancer patient is eligible to receive an

expensive cancer drug – saving money by targeting the right drug to the right patient

Improving Efficiency In The Service Sector

• Accountable care and evidence-based medicine are the new buzz words

– We are seeing similar trends across all developed and developing markets

• These changes have a massive impact for the entire healthcare value chain

– All companies, whether they sell products or services, will need to focus on delivering value

Reimbursement systems will reward quality and not volume

• As part of the 2010 stimulus package, the US will spend $36 billion from 2010-2015 on healthcare IT

– The US is a long way behind the rest of the world but looks set to overtake in the hospital setting

• IT will enable not only better cost management but also the “consumerisation” of healthcare

– There are many “easy” gains to be made from implementing IT systems – i.e. on-line booking of appointments

– Ultimately, we see the potential for making individuals more responsible for their own care

Healthcare IT is a critical driver of change in healthcare

The Healthcare IT Era Has Just Begun

• Medicare Advantage programme began under President Bush but penetration is still low

– We see Humana and UnitedHealth as the best-positioned to take advantage of this move from fee for service to

– This could be a $300 billion opportunity compared to the current health insurance market of $600 billion

1. The operating leverage impact of new products can be underestimated

– Detailed financial modelling can reveal the effect of a new product on operating margins and is also important when assessing

the potential negative impact of competition

2. A longer investment horizon to exploit the time-value proposition of healthcare

– Given the long development times and product cycles in the drug and device industry, product candidates in early

development are often under-valued

3. Specialist or niche markets are regularly overlooked by investors

– Small markets can create a significant commercial opportunity for a mid-sized company

4. M&A activity is often under-rated by the market

– M&A has been shown to drive long-term value for some healthcare companies but is often not reflected in the initial stock

reaction to the news

5. New technologies can generate significant investor returns

– Healthcare relies on innovation and so keeping abreast of new breakthroughs creates an opportunity to profit from increased

awareness of a new drug, device or technology

6. Geographical and sector anomalies in valuation

– US healthcare companies are often priced at a premium to global peers, especially in sectors such as biotechnology

Holdings

This portfolio data is “as of” the date indicated and should not be relied upon as a complete or current listing of the holdings (or top holdings) of the fund. The holdings may represent only a small percentage of the

aggregate portfolio holdings, are subject to change without notice, and may not represent current or future portfolio composition. Information on particular holdings may be withheld if it is in the fund’s best interest to

do so. A complete list of the portfolio holdings may be made available upon request. It should not be assumed that any of the securities transactions or holdings discussed was or will prove to be profitable, or that

Benchmarks

The following benchmark index is used: MSCI All Country World Index/Healthcare. These benchmarks are generally considered to be representative of the Global Healthcare market universe. These benchmarks are

broad-based indices which are used for comparative/illustrative purposes only and have been selected as they are well known and are easily recognizable by investors. Please refer to www.mscibarra.com for further

information on these indices.Comparisons to benchmarks have limitations because benchmarks have volatility and other material characteristics that may differ from the fund. For example, investments made for the

fund may differ significantly in terms of security holdings, industry weightings and asset allocation from those of the benchmark. Accordingly, investment results and volatility of the fund may differ from those of the

benchmark. Also, the indices noted in this presentation are unmanaged, are not available for direct investment, and are not subject to management fees, transaction costs or other types of expenses that the fund

may incur. In addition, the performance of the indices reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital gain distributions. Therefore, investors should carefully consider these limitations and differences

when evaluating the comparative benchmark data performance. The information regarding the indices are included merely to show the general trends in the periods indicated and is not intended to imply that the fund

was similar to any of the indices in composition or risk.
