  36. MLC’s Diversified Debt Fund and Horizon 1 – Bond Portfolio Update Market update • Anticipation of an economic recovery has started to feed into the debt market which has improved liquidity over the last quarter. • Money is now flowing from the “safe haven” of government debt, into higher credit risk markets. That’s why 3 mth returns are so high but 1 and 3 year are still poor – they still have a way to go to recover the losses after Lehman Brothers’ collapsed in September 2008. • Yields on inflation linked securities have risen because the market expects the government to increase issuance (supply) of these securities, pushing prices down and yields up. Source: MLC Investment Management 36

  37. MLC Diversified Debt Fund Update Strategy update • We are seeing a reversal in the ground we lost in the few months after Lehman Brother’s collapsed. • MLC’s position relative to peers and the market that hurt performance after Lehman’s collapsed, are now helping returns - overweight to credit risk (and underweight to government securities) and overweight to global nominal bonds (and underweight to Australian) • Overweight exposure to inflation linked securities, which helped returns in the “flight to quality” after Lehman’s collapse, has hurt returns in recent months. 37

  38. MLC Diversified Debt Fund Update High yield bond story – Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC (TCEH) • TCEH is a successful power producer. It is the 2nd largest deregulated power generator in the US and the largest retail electricity provider in Texas. It has relatively steady operating cash flow due mostly to the consistent demand for power in Texas where it’s generating facilities are located. It also has no significant debt maturities in the next few years. • But because of the forced selling of high yield securities following Lehman Brothers’ collapse, the price of the bond in MLC’s portfolio fell sharply and yields rose. • WR Huff continued to believe the bond was “money good” and TCEH continued to operate as normal and honour interest payments. 38

  39. MLC Horizon 1 – Bond Portfolio Update Strategy update – at last the low risk portfolio has come into its own! • Because the Portfolio is designed to provide capital preservation it has been well insulated from credit market gyrations over the past year. The portfolio has achieved a consistently solid positive annual return. • Some exposure to the credit market has helped to boost returns recently but is really just recovering lost returns post Lehman Brothers’ collapse. • Exposure to inflation linked securities, which helped returns in the “flight to quality” after Lehman’s collapse, has hurt returns in recent months. • Cash was one of the better performing types of debt this past year. Now that the official cash rate has remained at 3% since beginning of April, prospective returns are not great. That’s why the cash exposure is a focal point for the debt review, underway at present. • This last year, the benefits of a diversified debt portfolio have been evident. 39

  40. MLC Horizon 1 – Bond Portfolio Update Strategy story • Horizon 1 investors experienced capital preservation despite gyrations in most debt markets over the past year. That’s because more than 70% is invested in our lowest risk debt strategies (circled). 40

  45. The Outlook • Global leading indicators, (consumer and business sentiment, and sharemarkets) are telling us economic recovery is starting despite lagging indicators (GDP, unemployment) still weakening • The recovery seems likely to be VERY subdued – consumers (especially in the English speaking world) will take time to repair balance sheets and re-build savings • Inflation whilst not a short term risk remains a medium term risk • Emerging nations may recover more strongly than developed economies • The Australian economy has so far held up well and is well positioned to benefit from a potential shift in global growth towards developing economies, particularly in Asia • Investment return potential in this recovery is more modest than we’ve been used to and volatility is likely to remain high • Diversification & discipline are still your best friends! 45
