Investing to maximise returnsLife in the New Normal

What is the New Normal

– Changes to the fundamental structure of the global economy

– An era of shifting geo-political power and influence

Implications for investors

– An era of lower returns on stocks and bonds

– Challenge to pre-conceived wisdom which will require investors to think differently

The drivers of structural growthOften referenced but rarely understood

Structural growth drivers

The Facts – Global population grows from 6 to 9 billion people in 2050

– 98% of the population growth comes from developing markets

– Ageing:16% of population over 60 years old by 2050. Japan population half in 2100

– “New industrial revolution”

– Scientific evidence now substantial and driving public policy

– Emissions per unit GDP need to be 25% of current levels by 2050 to avert disaster

– Will require $20,000bn investment in energy infrastructure by 2030

– Increasing importance of Emerging Markets in global economy, with Emerging Markets now accounting for 1/3 of global GDP

– Globally infrastructure needs until 2030 are estimated at $32 trillion for transport, energy, water and communications infrastructure

What this means in practiceResources are a key beneficiary of structural growth drivers

Demand

– Demand for resources continues to rise

– Although cyclical in nature, structural drivers dominate

Supply

– Resources increasingly constrained

– Limited capacity to deal with demand shocks

Implications for investors

– Resource prices set to rise in the long term

– Demand/supply imbalance creates opportunities for investors

– A source of visible growth underpinning a strategic allocation

– An efficient hedge against inflation

10

10

How do we exploit these opportunitiesResources equities – the best of both worlds

Equities

Correlated to equity returns

Exposure to commodities that

are not accessible directly via

– 2 Sources of alpha

–Appreciation in the underlying commodity/resource price

–company specific catalysts including changes in the operational and financial performance of the company

– No negative effect of roll yield typically experienced by commodity futures when markets are in contango

– Can accommodate long term strategic positions

Identify growth gapThe inefficiencies we look to exploit – Poor broker forecasts

– Market reacts slowly to the changing supply/demand dynamics in individual commodity markets

– Broker commodity price forecasts (positive and negative) are frequently conservative and driven-off spot prices

– This presents opportunities to identify companies that are positively exposed to rising resource prices ahead of market consensus

Broker commodity price forecasts – invariably wrong!

Identify growth gapPoor broker forecasts – Stock example

Walter Energy WLT

– Adverse weather affecting a number of regions & starting to have significant effect on supply

– Floods in Queensland have major impact on coking & thermal coal supplies. The state supplies two thirds of the world’s coking coal and 8% of the world’s thermal coal

– Approximately 75% of Queensland mines are not operating because of flooding

– In 2008, flooding reduced coal production by roughly 8-10 million tonnes. The recent flood appears to be worse. Market slow to recognise the impact of unseasonal weather & price forecasts for coking coal fail to keep pace with deteriorating supply outlook

Identify growth gapThe inefficiencies we look to exploit – Market’s failure to fully appraise the asset base

– Market lacks insight into the bottom-up operational characteristics of different mining projects to value these projects appropriately

– We believe that better insight about the geological certainty and feasibility of economic recovery allows us to ascribe a more accurate value to a company’s assets

– Detailed cash flow forecasting at an individual asset level allows us to identify mis-priced securities

First Quantum – Share price performance in USDFirst Quantum FQM.L

– Shares suffer from negative sentiment over the potential (now realised) loss of assets in DRC

– Ascribing zero value to all of First Quantum’s DRC assets, shares appear attractive relative to peer group and on sum of the parts valuation

– Market fails to recognise the value in Ravensthorpe and attach low probability of project being delivered successfully

Negative sentiment over DRC

- Ravensthorpe acquired by FQM in 2009 from BHP- BHP sold the project in light of rising capex and complex geology. BHP

had spent c US$3bn - FQM secure the asset for US$340m with capex budget of US$190m- FQM believes it can deliver project with capex budget of US$190m due to

its in-house engineering expertise, which is one of the key strengths of the company

17

Global Resources – Near term outlookShort term positive – Waiting for the Chinese Rebound

Demand

– Underlying demand drivers remains robust. Data remains solid (i.e. PMI indices, IP)

– Strong restock in China expected Q2 2011. Significant destocking seen through 2010

– Commodity prices have remained at historically elevated levels (and in some cases record levels), despite mass Chinese destocking during 2010 and with anaemic demand in the developed world

– Western world (specifically US) recovery has been largely ex-construction based to date. Lead indicators suggest this might be turning

Supply

– Supply side will continue to disappoint. Supply disruption risk remains – there is limited flexibility in the supply chain

Valuation

– Sentiment has been very weak in recent months given caution over MENA activity and Chinese tightening activity

– We stick to the fundamentals. When sentiment turns, significant upside for many resources equities. We are well positioned
