  6. Depending On How Large A Portfolio Is Down… Asymmetry of Negative Returns

  7. Especially If Investors Fled To “SAFETY” What is left? Where is the “Real” return? Subtract for inflation? Then for taxes where they apply ?

  8. A Permanent “Flight To Safety” Will Not Work Today Reality Check: An investor sells for a loss and buys a 5 year GIC at 3.25%

  10. Market Exposure with Capital Protection CPPI & Option Based Notes – There is a Difference

  11. Increasing Increasing Exposure to the Exposure to the Underlying Asset Underlying Asset Value Value Basket NAV Basket NAV Distance (D Distance (D ) ) $100 $100 T T Initial Initial Investment Investment Bond Price Bond Price Time Time Decreasing Exposure to Decreasing Exposure to Maturity Maturity the Underlying Asset the Underlying Asset CPPI/ Dynamic Allocation Structure Allocation is determined by the difference between the value of the basket and the value of a theoretical zero coupon bond (DT)

  12. The CPPI Structure in Summary • More robust tracking to underlying • Ability to create distribution paying products • Potential hedge against a rising interest rate environment • Potential for >100% participation • Less inputs into determining notes NAV Plus’s Minus’s • ‘Ejection’ risk • Path dependency • Distributions, if any, may be variable • Performance in a rebounding market • Volatile underlying asset may be problematic

  13. Benefits Of An Option Based Structure Clean structure • Contains two inputs, a Zero Coupon Bond and a Call Option • The bond delivers the guarantee of $100.00 at maturity and the option provides the performance participation into the underlying basket Zero risk of de-leveraging or encountering a Capital Preservation Event • Exposure level to the underlying is pre-determined and set for the entire term of the note Lower volatility • Structure generally lends to lower volatility than owning the basket of stocks outright

  14. Pricing Dynamics Interest rate influences • Principal protection is effectively provided by a “zero coupon bond”, thus the secondary price will be affected by interest rates Equity market influences • The payout on maturity is determined by the performance of the underlying index, thus during the term the value of the note will be affected by fluctuations in equity markets Option valuation influences • Participation in the index is provided via an option, thus the value of the note will be influenced by traditional option pricing metrics like volatility and “delta”

  15. The Option-based Structure $100 Option Zero Coupon Bond Maturity When the Investor buys an option-based principal protected note, they are effectively buying a package. They are buying effectively a strip bond which provides the principal protection, and an option that provides the participation in the underlying investment

  16. The Option-based Structure Price of the Note $100 Maturity The price of the Note can be determined by a number of different factors including interest rates, the price of the underlying investment, volatility and the inherent characteristics of the option. However, it is important to recognize that with the option-based model despite what happens to the markets, there is no risk of levering and de-levering

  17. The Impact of Changes in Interest Rates $100 Zero Coupon Bond Maturity Since the instrument that provides the protection of capital is effectively a zero coupon bond, as interest rates fluctuate, so does the value of the zero coupon bond and in turn the note. If interest rates go up, all things being held equal the price of the note will generally go down. However, just like a bond, as the note gets closer to maturity it will become less sensitive to changes in interest rates

  18. The Tracking issue of Option-based notes Price of the Underlying Asset Price of the Note $100 Option Maturity Inherent characteristics of option-based principal protected notes are such that the full value of the performance of the note is reflected the closer we get to maturity. This attribute also means that the note will generally have lower volatility than the underlying asset. In this example, the note paid 100% of the price performance on maturity which is why the lines converged at maturity. However, this payout profile is not the case with every deposit note

  19. Real Life Example – JHN204

  20. The Option-based Structure in Summary • No risk of levering and de-levering • Generally lower volatility than the underlying asset • Calculating variable interest can be more easily determined Plus’s Minus’s • Inherent characteristics of option-based principal protected notes are such that the full value of the performance of the note is reflected the closer we get to maturity • Interest rate sensitivity

  22. BANK OF MONTREAL CI C.A.P.I.T.A.L. DEPOSIT NOTES CALLABLE CLASS, SERIES 4 • Term of 6 years • Callable: by Bank of Montreal (Issuer) on May 5th, 2014 at $133.10 which is equivalent to a 10% compound rate of return. • If not called: by Bank of Montreal on May 5th, 2014 the holder will receive a return at maturity equal to the percentage increase, if any, of the Reference Portfolio from the Closing Date to and including the Final Valuation Date. • Fees: An all-in fee of 2.95% is charged to the Reference Portfolio which represents a cost of 0.905% above the average current MER of the Class A unites of the underlying CI Funds • 100% Principal Protected by Bank of Montreal, as issuer, if held to maturity. • Selling Commission: 3.00% • FundServ Code: JHN232
