No part of this presentation may be reproduced or redistributed in any form, or referred to in any publication, without express written permission of UBS Asset Management. This material supports the presentation(s) given on the specific date(s) noted. It is not intended to be read in isolation and may not provide a full explanation of all the topics that were presented and discussed. The information and opinions contained in this document have been complied or arrived at based upon information obtained from sources believed to be reliable and in good faith. All such information and opinions are subject to change without notice. A number of the comments in this document are based on current expectations and are considered “forward-looking statements.” Actual future results, however, may prove to be different from expectations. The opinions expressed are a reflection of UBS Asset Management’s best judgment at the time this report is compiled, and any obligation to update or alter forward- looking statement as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise is disclaimed. UBS Group AG and/or its affiliates may have a position in and may make a purchase and/or sale of any of the securities or other financial instruments mentioned in this document. The information contained in this presentation should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security. There is no assurance that any securities discussed herein will remain in an account’s portfolio at the time you receive this information or that securities sold have not been repurchased. The securities discussed do not represent an account’s entire portfolio over the course of a full market cycle. It should not be assumed that any of the securities transactions or holdings referred to herein were or will prove to be profitable, or that the investment recommendations or decisions we make in the future will be profitable or will equal the investment performance of the securities referred to in this presentation. The gross performance figures reflect the deduction of transaction costs but not investment advisory fees or external custodial charges. A client's actual return will be reduced by investment advisory fees and other expenses. The deduction of investment advisory fees would have a compounding effect, which will increase the impact of the fees by an amount directly related to the gross account performance. For example, on an account with an initial value of $10,000 and a 0.5% annual fee, if the gross performance is 10% per year over a five-year period, the annual compound net rate of return would be 9.45% per year and the total value of the client's portfolio at the end of the five-year period would be $16,105 without the fee and $15,707 with the fee. Performance results include all cash and cash equivalents, are time weighted, annualized for time periods greater than one year and include realized and unrealized capital gains and losses and reinvestment of dividends, interest and other income. A client's returns will be reduced by advisory fees and other expenses incurred by the client. Advisory fees are described in Part 2A of Form ADV for UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc.
