The group’s net debt is now at its lowest level for more than a decade and its robust balance sheet provides plenty of headroom for the group to pursue its acquisition strategy. As highlighted in previous trading updates, market conditions became noticeably tougher from June. The uncertainty over Europe remains, as does a solution to the pending US fiscal cliff. Meanwhile global financial institutions face the combined challenges of difficult markets, increased capital requirements and a tougher regulatory environment. Inevitably they have responded by cutting costs, particularly people, and exiting some parts of their business. However, the outlook for emerging markets, which account for more than a third of the group’s revenues, is more positive. The board expects this challenging trading background to continue at least into the early part of 2013. 04 Euromoney AR2012.indd 4 13/12/2012 15:54:31 21833.04 13/12/12 Proof 7 Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2012 www.euromoneyplc.com Chairman’s Statement Chairman’s Our Performance Strategy Driving revenue growth from existing as well Acquisitions remain a key part of the group’s The group’s strategy remains the building of as new products is a key part of the group’s strategy.

  • Global Opportunistic Absolute Return Strategy Profile
    STRATEGY OVERVIEW 2Q 2015 | As of June 30, 2015 Global Opportunistic Absolute Return Strategy Profile OBJECTIVE We strive to generate positive absolute returns over a full market cycle regardless of market conditions. The portfolio's goal is to outperform the Citigroup 3-Month T-Bill Index on a rolling 36-month basis by 300 bps net of fees annualized. INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY We believe currencies and interest rates serve as economic regulators. As valuations overextend, currencies and interest rates will adjust accordingly, eventually impacting economic behavior and setting economic forces in motion that renormalize valuations in the opposite direction. INVESTMENT PROCESS SUMMARY We apply a top-down, macro-driven investment process and invest only where we believe opportunities exist with respect to interest rate levels and currency valuations. Bond markets that provide the highest or lowest real yields are identified as potential longs or shorts, respectively. Currency valuations are also monitored for extreme valuation. THE LONG-SHORT APPROACH The long-short approach enables us to take equally substantial positions in markets we believe to be overvalued as in markets we believe to be undervalued as long as the market size and liquidity characteristics are supportive. OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Furthermore, market forces supporting mean reversion must also be present. We concentrate long positions in 8 to 16 markets with the highest return potential. Short positions are taken in markets we believe are overvalued. The strategy is designed to isolate Fundamental factors, secular trends, political and monetary conditions, and business cycle risks drive the the Global Fixed Income team’s country-weighting process.

UNIVERSE Sovereign debt and currencies of countries in the JP Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index and or countries considered "emerging" by the portfolio managers. We also may invest in corporate debt issued in these countries. INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY We believe in mean reversion with respect to the valuation of bonds and currencies. At extremes, interest rates and exchange rates affect economic activity, thus creating a feedback cycle that supports mean reversion. This tendency has existed for decades, and we believe that it will continue to work due to the importance of the business cycle on asset prices and economic trends. INVESTMENT PROCESS SUMMARY Our approach is to seek undervalued assets globally by utilizing a top-down macroeconomic framework and a value-driven process. Real yield is our primary measure of value in the global bond market. We also actively OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE manage our currency exposures and focus on owning undervalued currencies with the potential for appreciation.
