Index enhancement of UK portfolio prior to launch of Index Opportunities Fund

Performance of a sub portfolio targeting a return of 0.25% p.a.

This is the outperformance of an UK FTSE All Share index tracking sub portfolio, with NAV of over £5bn. The primary objective of the portfolio is to replicate the FTSE All Share. The outperformance enhancement is achieved using similar arbitrage techniques to those used in Aviva Investors Index Opportunities Fund

Typical risk analysis

Rexel (Bloomberg ticker: RXL FP): added to FTSE Europe, September 2010

Risk factor Result of analysisPre-Announcement Date confidence level Very high confidence that stock would be included

Trading volumes required for index funds to rebalance 6 days average daily volume

Stock specific risk No company announcements forecast for RXL or similar companies during anticipated holding period

Liquidity for exit Medium size company, easy to sell on exit

Position size 1.25% appropriate

Hedge available European futures

Execution:• Bought RXL FP on 31 August 2010, sold futures as hedge• Continuous monitoring of fundamental news flow and trading volumes during the trade lifetime• Close out position and hedge on 13 September 2010

Page 37: Aviva   index opportunities fund standard presentation - 310311

Hedging beta risk

Strategy success depends on effective hedging

• Initial objective is to create market neutral baskets within the same country or currency – hedging longs (inclusions) with appropriate shorts (exclusions).

• If there are insufficient stocks to balance the portfolio, we hedge the mismatch with an appropriate future or ETF (dependent on region, country, currency or sector)

• Beta is monitored using our desktop risk package to ensure the portfolio has beta as close to zero as possible – both at the implementation of the trade, and for its duration.

• We monitor the “beta curve” of each stock and basket continuously – looking at beta horizons of 30 days out to two years.
