Insurer Investment Forum VIII Agenda • U.S. Macroeconomic Overview • Securitized Investment Positioning and Risk within Insurance Strategies • Relative Value in Asset-backed Securities (ABS) • Relative Value in Commercial Mortgage-backed Securities (CMBS) • The Housing Recovery and Non-Agency Residential Mortgage-backed-Securities (RMBS) • Appendix • Modeling Processes and Case Studies • Biography

3. Insurer Investment Forum VIII The U.S. Macroeconomic Overview • An Overview of our Economic Forecast • Despite larger than anticipated fiscal drag, we are maintaining our projection for 1.5% real GDP growth this year • There has been improvement in the composition of growth over the past few quarters • Private demand (e.g. consumer spending, business investment and housing) added 2.7% to growth in the 4th quarter • The economy may be poised to rebound from below trend growth from last year • The economy grew at an annual rate of just 1.5% last year versus trend growth of 2.1% since the recovery began in 2009. It appears reasonable that in the long run, below trend growth would be offset by slightly higher trend growth going forward. • Our baseline for 2013 real GDP growth is in the 2.4% to 2.7% range. • Subtract fiscal drag of 2.2% of GDP, which occurs mostly in the second and third quarter when sequestration hits

4. Insurer Investment Forum VIII The U.S. Macroeconomic Overview • January FOMC Summary • Largely in line with market expectations. • Fed views the economy on a moderate growth path with downside risks declining; however: • Concern over automatic spending cuts associated with sequestration • Household balance sheets are improving, which should support spending; though increases from payroll taxes could have a negative impact • More businesses reported an improvement in confidence and the prospects of an improved economic outlook • Extensive and somewhat divided discussion about the efficacy of the Fed’s QE program • Most participants believe asset purchases have been effective in easing financial conditions, though not as fast as the Committee would like • Some expressed concern over costs and risks arising from further asset purchases • Some participants emphasized the Committee should be prepared to vary the pace of purchases, in response to either changes economic outlook or efficacy and costs of such purchases

5. Insurer Investment Forum VIII Positioning and Risk within Insurance Strategies • Current Strategies and Positioning • Most of our multi-sector insurance strategies are slightly short duration in the ten (10) year part of the curve (e.g. 0.1 – 0.2 of year) • Accounts are primarily underweight US Government and Agency securities while correspondingly overweight spread sectors (e.g. Investment grade credit, ABS and CMBS) • Securitized strategies within insurance mandates consist primarily of investment grade Auto and Equipment ABS, along with well structured legacy CMBS and 2.0/3.0 and five (5) year new issue AAA-rated CMBS • Given the richness of the new issue non-agency RMBS market and the ratings constraints of our insurance clients, we hold minimal credit sensitive RMBS.

6. Insurer Investment Forum VIIIRelative Value in Asset-backed Securities (ABS) • “It is not the return on my investment that I am concerned about. It’s the return of my investment.” - Will Rogers

7. Insurer Investment Forum VIII Relative Value in Asset-backed Securities (ABS) • Consider the Investment Landscape and Current Market Challenges, Risks, and Needs: • Investors face historic low levels of global interest rates • Given the state of the global economy, monetary policy is likely to remain accommodative for the next several years • Investors face asymmetric risk/return for extending duration out the yield curve. Real yields are in fact negative • Investors must navigate continued fiscal turmoil in Europe’s peripheral economies • Sovereign debt risks continue to pose potential for greater financial contagion, introducing increased counterparty risk • Investors require a need for diversification, current yield, a return on investment, and critically, a return of investment

8. Insurer Investment Forum VIII Relative Value in Asset-back Securities (ABS) Consumer Finance ABS • Primary ABS Sectors: • Automobile Loan and Lease securities • Equipment Loan and Lease securities • Bank Sponsored, and Retail Credit Card loan-backed securities • Government and select private issued Student loan-backed securities • The above asset classes represent historically some of the highest quality, best performing sectors, even during the peak of the global financial crisis. • Newly issued securities in these asset classes are generally characterized by conservative underwriting.

9. Insurer Investment Forum VIII Relative Value In Asset-backed Securities (ABS) • What Consumer ABS Investments Offer: • High Quality and Strong Fundamentals: • Strong historical credit performance, even during periods of unprecedented stress • Investments backed by homogenous and diversified collateral pools that have been underwritten to conservative standards. • History of positive ratings actions • While sovereign and corporate ratings under pressure since the onset of the crisis, the ABS ratings remains largely stable to positive • Liquidity: • Self liquidating structures, special purpose bankruptcy remote structures that mitigate individual counterparty risks. • Historically a safe haven for excess liquidity; returns above cash and money market instruments • Short duration alternative to corporate debt • Expected continued strong issuance (Note: $175 Billion in 2012) • TRACE reporting enhances liquidity and increases transparency • Attractive Risk/Yield Characteristics: • Low interest rate duration risk (e.g. 1 – 3 years) • Attractive yield spread premiums (e.g. margins of +15 to +150 bps vs. swaps or LIBOR based on defined risk tolerances) • A modest return on investment and the expected full return of principal

11. Insurer Investment Forum VIII Relative Value in Asset-backed Securities (ABS) • Consider de-leveraging consumers and stronger household balance sheets: • De-leveraging consumer household balance sheets should translate into continued strong credit performance Source: Bloomberg, Federal Reserve as of January 25, 2013. *DSR (Debt Service Ratio) - estimate of the ratio of debt payments on mortgage and consumer debt to disposable personal income.FOR( Financial Obligations Ratio) - takes DSR and adds other payments such as auto leases, rents, homeowners insurance, and property taxes.

12. Insurer Investment Forum VIII Relative Value in Asset-backed Securities (ABS) • Tactical and Strategic • ABS investments can be both tactical and strategic. Consider the tactical approach: • Attractive return given lower term structure of interest rates • Shorter duration. Asymmetric risks associated with extending duration out the curve (e.g. Long spread duration and negative inflation adjusted returns • Global economic and fiscal uncertainty • The tactical play: As monetary policy shifts from accommodative, other more attractive investments may arise • Conversely consider a strategic approach: ABS investments can be strategic and defensive against rising interest rates • Liquidity Considerations • Tactical: If longer duration alternatives become more attractive, the tactical strategy can be easily unwound • ABS duration “roll-down” (e.g. 0-1 years) allows for more liquid sales transactions • ABS portfolios can be designed to self liquidate through amortization, eliminating need for sales, permitting reinvestment of pay downs in other strategies • Strategic: If short term rates rise, the ABS portfolio re-prices with the market • Higher current coupons • Low duration risk • Less price sensitivity

22. Insurer Investment Forum VIIIThe Housing Recovery and Non-Agency RMBS • “The dream of our older generation was to pay off the mortgage. The dream of our current generation is to get one.” - Unknown

23. Insurer Investment Forum VIII The Housing Recovery and Non-Agency RMBS • Supply is beginning to reach an equilibrium with demand. • Over-supply was result of over-building when home prices were rising and high defaults when home prices were declining. • Existing home sales inventory has fallen to 1.74 million homes* from a peak of 4.04 million homes in July 2007. This is now close to historical norms. • Shadow Inventory is the number of properties that are either in foreclosure or real estate owned but not listed for sale. Shadow inventory is down 34% since the peak of 5.370 million home in January Q4 2009. • We expect the shadow inventory to continue to decline, leading to less distressed sales. * Source: National Association of Realtors as of January 2013

24. Insurer Investment Forum VIIIThe Housing Recovery and Non-Agency RMBS • Home sales have been trending upward for several months. • Existing home sales are up 1.9% in January 2013 versus a year ago. • New home sales have risen 28.9% in January 2013 versus a year ago, but are still close to historic lows. • Pending home sales, which tracks the number of home re-sales under contract, have been increasing. Pending home sales is a leading indicator of existing home sales by one or two months.

25. Insurer Investment Forum VIII The Housing Recovery and Non-Agency RMBS • Home affordability is close to all-time highs. High levels of affordability have traditionally translated into more home sales • At the current level of the NAR Homebuyer Affordability Index, a borrower who earns the median income in the U.S. can afford 201% of a median-priced existing single family home • Lack of job growth during the recession led to many echo boomers, those born between 1982 and 1995, staying at home or renting. New household formation ran below trend from 2007-2011 and suggests that lack of demand was one of the causes of the excess housing supply. • Estimates are that actual household formation is more than two million households below trend. We expect that an economic recovery will boost the momentum in housing as this pent-up demand eventually absorbs the excess housing inventory.

26. Insurer Investment Forum VIII The Housing Recovery and Non-Agency RMBS • Home prices are a lagging indicator of a housing recovery, but the data is starting to turn more positive. • The Case Shiller Index is up 6.8% in December 2012 from December 2011. The CoreLogic Home Price Index rose 8.3% in the same period. • Median prices on existing and new home sales are also rising. The median price of existing homes is up 12.3% in January from a year earlier. The median price of new homes is up 2.1% in January from a year earlier. • The mix of sales has contributed to the better year-over-year home price numbers. There have been fewer distressed home sales, as well as an improvement in pricing on distressed sales. Modification programs, increased short sales, and REO to Rental programs have all helped to improve pricing on sales. • We still expect seasonal weakness through the winter, but feel that prices have bottomed and should begin rising in 2013.

28. AppendixABS Modeling Process • Standish’s ABS modeling process is a comprehensive approach that considers issuer-specific collateral credit and prepayment behavior, while also considering deal- and vintage- specific characteristics. Its process is dynamic and continuously calibrated to consider the effects of changing collateral performance, loan prepayment patterns, and servicer behavior. Highlights of our process include: • Expected Loss • Loss to liquidation projection. • Assumptions periodically adjusted to reflect changing collateral performance. • Default Propensity • Default timing curves fit to modeled deal expected loss. • Adjusted for issuer, collateral characteristics, and macro environment. • Loss Severity • Collateral and vintage specific assigned severities. • Adjusted periodically given performance and outlook for after market disposition. • Voluntary Prepayments • Collateral and vintage specific assigned speeds. • Pricing speeds adjusted to incorporate expected defaults (involuntary prepays). • Other • Intex used as primary cash flow engine. • Utilize third party and internally developed research to analyze collateral at a granular level. • A multi-scenario approach to evaluate risk across a range of outcomes.

29. Appendix ABS Investment Process Example – Auto ABS Case Study: 2010 Vintage Subprime Auto ABS C Tranche CONCLUSION: Tighter issuer underwriting standards and higher required credit enhancement from the rating agencies should help this deal perform at least in-line with historical issuance. Our stress scenario attempts to approximate what a 'double-dip' scenario may look like and assumes a repeat of the increased default rates seen in 2008/2009. We are comfortable that this harsh scenario results in implied ratings that are only one rating category below our base case ratings. Given the de-leveraging nature of the structure, the break-even default rates will increase over time and provide added protection to these deals. Standish, Intex as of December 2012.

33. Appendix CMBS Cash Flow Modeling Process • Standish’s CMBS modeling process is a comprehensive approach that utilizes a combination of structural and loan-level analysis. Its process is dynamic and continuously calibrated to consider the effects of property income, refinancing and modification options, and servicer/special servicer behavior. Highlights of our process include: • Default Propensity • MSA and property type specific NOI vectors, cap rate assumptions, and refinance requirements determine involuntary term defaults and balloon extensions • Factor adjustments for modification and servicer behavior • Loss Severity • Customized default timing and severity expectations based on vintage and status • Calibrated for modification and servicer/special servicer behavior • Dynamic collateral loss severity, formulated through capital markets refinance methods • Voluntary Prepayments • Call protection and voluntary prepayments • Evolution of cap rates • Term structure of interest rates, yield curve shape, and volatility • Other • Trepp used as primary cash flow engine • Other structural features including credit enhancement, transaction triggers, covenants and other factors • Utilize third party and internally developed research to analyze collateral at a granular level • A multi-scenario approach to evaluate risk across a range of probable outcomes
