Kjøp og salg, juli 2015 Kjøp Ettersom spreaden mellom Samsung Electronics ordinære aksjer og selskapets preferanseaksjer har krympet, har vi flyttet deler av vår posisjon inn i de mer likvide ordinære aksjene. China Mobile ble tatt inn som et nytt selskap i porteføljen i juli. Det likviditetsdrevne fallet i kinesiske aksjer har gitt oss mulighet til å kjøpe et solid (62 milliarder USD i netto kontantbeholdning) og voksende selskap i en bransje som er i en konsolideringsfase, til russisk verdsettelse. Ytterligere analyser vi har gjort av CK Hutchison Holdings sine eiendeler innen infrastruktur har økt vår overbevisning om selskapet. Vi dro nytte av den likviditetsdrevne og panikkartede nedgangen vi så i Hong Kong til å øke vår posisjon. Nyheter de siste månedene har økt vår tro på Carlsberg sin vilje til å redusere kostnader. Fornyet økning i russiske risikopremier har gjort det mulig for oss å øke vår posisjon i selskapet på attraktive nivåer. Salg Ettersom spreaden mellom Samsung Electronics preferanseaksjer og selskapets ordinære aksjer har krympet, har vi flyttet deler av vår posisjon i preferanseaksjene over i de mer likvide ordinære aksjene. Det koreanske solselskapet OCI ble solgt ut etter en solid avkastning i år. OCI driver i en veldig syklisk bransjem og etter den sterke utviklingen i aksjen, virker risk-reward-forholdet nå mindre fordelaktig. Ettersom det sterke resultatet i Citigroup ikke har endret vårt kursmål, så har vi redusert vår posisjon på bakgrunn av sterk aksjekursutvikling. Vi reduserte vår posisjon i TEVA på bakgrunn av stert utvikling i aksjen etter oppkjøpet av Allergan sin virksomhet innenfor generiske legemidler. Storebrand ble solgt ut i juli. Selv om ledelsen tar de rette grepene, så forblir aksjekursen i Storebrand tett knyttet til den norske rentekurven. Etter den siste tids opptur i aksjen ser ikke vi riskreward-forholdet som like fordelaktig. 9

Key earnings releases and corporate news, June 2015 AIG (5.3%) Shareholder (pre-financial crisis CEO) was awarded zero damages in court ruling for his claim that he lost money due to the government s unduly harsh treatment of AIG in the 2008 bailout Summary: Judge Thomas Wheeler announced that Starr International (Former AIG CEO Hank Greenberg) had won the case against the US government but will be awarded zero damages. Key passages in our view from the judge's ruling: " Although the Federal Reserve Bank may exercise all powers specifically granted by the provisions of this chapter and such incidental powers as shall be necessary to carry on the business of banking within the limitations prescribed by this chapter, 12 U.S.C. 341, this language does not authorize the taking of equity. ; " With some reluctance, the Court must leave that question for another day. The end point for this case is that, however harshly or improperly the Government acted in nationalizing AIG, it saved AIG from bankruptcy. Therefore, application of the economic loss doctrine results in damages to the shareholders of zero." Investment case implications: Positive. Though there will undoubtedly be continued legal maneuvering related to this case, we believe the risk of AIG having to pay meaningful damages has been substantially reduced. This is obviously positive as AIG could theoretically have been on the hook for payment of damages of over USD 20bn due to an indemnification provision in the 2008 bailout agreement. In summary, the tail risk of the investment has reduced significantly. GE (4.9%) Fleet management operations sold for $7 bn Summary: GE has announced that it s selling the majority of its global fleet business to Element Financial Corporation for $6.9 bn or around 3.0x tangible book. It has also signed an MoU with Arval, a fully owned subsidiary of BNP Paribas, for the sale of the European arm of the operations. The fleet operations provide commercial car and truck financing and fleet management services to more than 1.5 million vehicles around the world. GE will retain only the vertical part of the operations that support manufacturing. The transactions are expected to close in 2015 Q3/Q4. Note that the Japanese fleet business is not included in the announced sales. Investment case implications: Small positive. GE s $200 bn garage-sale is gaining steam, showing a skeptical market that the company has the ability and willingness to divest the GE Capital assets as previously communicated, perhaps even at an accelerated pace. Both Element and Arval specialize in full service fleet leasing and are therefore more natural owners of the business than an industrial company focusing on the production and service of aircraft engines, power units and health care equipment. Upon closure, this transaction will contribute nearly $2 bn of net capital toward GE s targeted $35 bn of capital return to parent, comprising part of the $90 bn highlighted for potential shareholder return through dividends, buybacks and Synchrony exchange. The price tag, equivalent of 3x tangible book, looks attractive and can be compared to the expected average exit multiple of around 1x tangible book (sales thus far average 1.9x tangible book); admittedly, the best assets will be the easiest ones to sell, so late-stage sales will probably come at less exciting multiples. Looking forward, we expect more sales announcements to follow over the next few weeks (and months). 15

Key earnings releases and corporate news, June 2015 Heidelberg Cement (2.1%) Capital Markets Day in London with management setting lofty targets Summary: Ambitious new targets from management at their Capital Markets Day in London. Growth targets of 15% EBITDA CAGR, 18% FCF CAGR and 30% EPS CAGR between 2015 and 2019. If they deliver on those promises then the stock will be trading at P/E multiple of less than 7,5x in 2019. We like their guidance although it might be a bit optimistic. We focus on their ability to generate FCF and increase dividends and buy back shares firstly, and there is evidence of this happening from 2015. The 2015 dividend payout ratio has been increased and dividend expectations from management is at 1,63/sh., up from 0,75/sh. for 2014 and 40% ahead of consensus expectations for 2015. So what are the main reasons behind the management s bullish outlook and guidance? First, they have introduced a concept called Heidelberg Premium, an operating model that is superior to the industry average and will lead to better earnings growth during the period. Second, their North American business volumes are still well behind those of the previous peak in cement, supporting the view that the mid-cycle is still ahead. Volumes in the US are 36% below 2006 peak and only 10% above the 2009 trough. Cash flow will be strong in the years to come if they can execute their strategy and there should ample room for both shareholder returns and also potential new M&A. Investment case implications: We continue to like the good execution from the company and with that comes better cash flow and a more robust balance sheet. We would have liked to see the increase in dividend higher as we believe they have the balance sheet to pay close to 3/sh. for 2015. As long as they are moving in the right direction then we are happy to own the stock and by looking 2-3 years out we could see the stock trading below 10x earnings and that is cheap compared to their 10-year average of 13x. We have a target price of 90 for 2017 as the stock should trade at 13x + dividends. This gives us 30% upside. Yazicilar (0.6%) Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for hydropower plant in Georgia Summary: Yazicilar announced that it has signed an MoU with the Georgia Energy Ministry for feasibility, field work and a planned hydropower plant with a capacity of 51MW. The study will run for a maximum of 18 months and, if successful, total investment could reach USD 100m (TRY 270m). Investment case implications: Neutral. USD 100m equals 8% of market cap, but likely positive long term as the project looks pretty profitable. Yazicilar already has two hydropower plants in operation with an installed capacity of 210MW. We calculate NAV per share at TRY 33.4 or a P/NAV of 63% where its 27.7% in the brewer Anadolu Efes alone represents TRY 23.4 or 10% more than the share price. In addition, you get TRY 4.5 per share in net cash (mainly indirectly), while the put option for its 17% holding in Alternatifbank would release TRY 1.4 from July 2016. Admittedly, Anadolu Efes at EV/EBITDA of 11x is not grossly undervalued, but at a meaningful discount to EM average of 14x and strong earnings momentum with upside on a normalization in Russia. Complicated corporate structure is a negative, but offers upside potential. Forthcoming acquisition of a 27.4% stake in #2 grocery retailer, Migros, for TRY 1.3bn is interesting and will make this investment 24% of NAV. 16

Key earnings releases and corporate news, June 2015 Hyundai Motor (1.8%) Very weak May unit shipments - but recovery should come in 2H15 Summary: Unit shipment of 389,299 for May fell 6% YoY marking the worst decline since the financial crises and a worsening from -1% YoY displayed in April. China plant shipment of 80,000 units fell 12% YoY, while shipment from its Brazil plant of 13,609 units was down 17% (in line with the market). Shipments from the US plant of 26,100 declined 17% YoY (weak end sale and increasing inventory contributing). Domestic sales declined 8% YoY to 54,990 units (losing market share to foreign brands), while export out of Korean plants of 93,277 units declined 6%. The only halfbright spot was shipment from Czech plant 28,740 units up 8% signaling a better trend in European sales. Investment case implications: Clearly negative. In order to meet its FY15 volume target of 5 mn units (+2% YoY), we will need to see 6% YoY growth for the remaining of the year which now looks challenging. Domestic OEMs in China are gaining market share with affordable SUV offerings. Overall utilization in China is on a decline amid slowing sales and increasing capacity. The two new Hyundai factories in China coming on stream in 2H16 (600k total capacity), now seem ill-timed. The channel stuffing in December 2015 (global shipment +19% YoY) also hurts, although the pain should have diminished sharply by now. New models will be supportive with US and European launch of Tuscon small SUV early 3Q15 (11% of global shipment) and refreshed Avante/Elantra (19% of global shipment) in Korea early 4Q14 with global launch late 2015/early 2016. This should support volumes and margins from 3Q15 onwards. The likelihood of introduction of an interim dividend should also be marginally supportive. Our pref. shares now trade at a P/BV of 0.44x with net cash per share in the auto operation of KRW 54k or 52% of pref. share price. Share is down 18% yearto-date mainly due to weak shipment. Is Hyundai turning into a value trap? With RoE of 11% on depressed earnings, we don t think so. Clearly, the company faces some headwinds and the China capacity expansion seems ill timed, but model portfolio refreshment should create tailwind. Japanese peers benefit from the weak JPY but trade on 2015 P/E of 12x with 11% RoE and 2% dividend yield after the 41% average bounce in FY15. The European peers are on average at exactly the same key ratios. Emerging market peers are higher but with better capital returns. Hyundai seems to have been overly penalized by an emotional market. We think most of the incremental sellers have left by now, leaving the stock with a fairly attractive risk-reward at current levels. Volvo (1.5%) Divests remaining stake in Eicher Motors Summary: Volvo sold its remaining stake in Eicher Motors (Indian producer of commercial vehicles/trucks) for SEK 2.2bn. A capital gain of c. SEK 2bn will be included in the Q215 accounts. Investment case implications: Minor positive. Volvo strengthens its balance sheet (but some of the money is likely to be used for future fines related to EU price fixing on trucks). Importantly, the joint venture with Eicher in India will continue as before. Volvo is a long term case with ability to improve FCF/share to SEK 10-11 which implies upside to at least SEK 120/share. 17
