Investment PhilosophyThese are the core beliefs that drive our investment decision-making

Long-term fundamental

value

Multiple diversified

strategies

Markets often misprice securities. Prices can deviate from fundamental fair value, but

over time, they typically adjust to reflect inflation, credit quality fundamentals and liquidity

conditions. Consistently investing in undervalued securities may deliver attractive

investment returns.

We can systematically identify mispricings. We believe we can identify and capitalize

on markets and securities that are priced below fundamental fair value. We do this

through disciplined and rigorous analysis, comparing prices to the fundamental fair values

estimated by our macroeconomic and credit research teams around the globe.

Our portfolios emphasize our highest convictions. The greater the difference between

our view of fair value and markets’ pricing, the bigger the potential value opportunity. The

greater the degree of confidence in our view of fundamentals, the greater the emphasis of

the strategies in our portfolios.

We seek diversified sources of returns. Our objective is to meet or exceed our

investors’ performance objectives within their tolerances for risk. We seek to diversify

investments and add value across interest rate duration, yield curve, sector allocation,

security selection, country and currency strategies. We deploy multiple diversified

strategies that benefit in different environments so no one strategy dominates

performance, helping to dampen volatility.

Portfolio Guidelines

Eligible Securities

Any of the following fixed income securities, individually or in commingled

vehicles, subject to credit, diversification and marketability guidelines below,

may be held outright and under resale agreement.

(1) Inflation-Indexed and Non-Inflation-Indexed obligations issued or

guaranteed by the U.S. Federal Government, U.S. Federal agencies or U.S.

government-sponsored corporations and agencies;

(2) Inflation-Indexed and Non-Inflation-Indexed obligations of U.S. and non-

U.S. corporations such as debentures, mortgage bonds, commercial paper,

certificates of deposit and bankers acceptances issued by industrial, utility,

finance, commercial banking or bank holding company organizations;

(3) Inflation-Indexed and Non-Inflation-Indexed obligations denominated in

U.S. dollars or foreign currencies of international agencies, supranational

entities and foreign governments (or their subdivisions or agencies), as well

as foreign currency exchange-related securities, warrants, and forward

contracts;

(4) Inflation-Indexed and Non-Inflation-Indexed obligations issued or

guaranteed by U.S. local, city and state governments and agencies; and

(5) Inflation-Indexed securities defined under Rule 144A;

(6) Foreign exchange contracts

Duration Exposure

The modified duration of portfolio security holdings is expected to range

within + 30% of the benchmark.

Credit Quality

In all categories, emphasis will be on high-quality securities and the

weighted average of portfolio holdings will not fall below AA- or equivalent.

Holdings are subject to the following limitations:

(1) Rated Securities: 100% of the portfolio will be of "investment grade", i.e.

rated as high as or higher than the following standards or their equivalent

by two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations

(NRSRO): Standard & Poor's BBB-, or A-2, or Moody's Baa3, or Prime-2,

or Fitch BBB-, or F-2

(2) Other Unrated Securities: Securities not covered by the standards in (1)

above will normally be, in the judgment of WAMCO, at least equal in credit

quality to the criteria implied in those standards. Obligations in unrated

securities are limited to 10% of the total portfolio.

(3) Downgraded Securities: Securities which fall below the stated minimum

credit requirements subsequent to initial purchase may be held at

WAMCO’s, discretion. WPERP should be notified of these securities.

(4) Securities Inside 270 Days: For securities with legal final maturities of

270 days or less, WAMCO may use the underlying credit’s short term

ratings as proxy for establishing the minimum credit requirement.

(continues)

Page 19: December 12, 2018 - Retirement · 12/12/2018  · Macro / Derivatives Global Investment Strategy Committee S. Kenneth Leech Chief Investment Officer Chia-Liang Lian, CFA Emerging

17

Portfolio Guidelines (continued)

Diversification

(1) Maturity: Maturity: Inflation-Indexed and Non-Inflation-Indexed

securities covering the full range of available maturities are acceptable.

(2) Sector: subject to the following limitations:

(a) Up to 25% of the portfolio may be invested in non-inflation-

indexed securities.

(3) Issuer: Holdings are subject to the following limitations:

(a) Obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, U.S.

agencies or U.S. government-sponsored corporations and

agencies are eligible without limit.

(b) Obligations of other national governments are limited to 50%

per issuer.

(c) Obligations of other issuers are subject to a 5% per issuer limit

excluding investments in commingled vehicles.

(4) Cash: The cash equivalent portion should not normally exceed 10% of

the portfolio.

(5) Currency: Both long and short currency exposures are permitted.

However, the aggregate of all active long exposures (local country bond

plus currency position) will not exceed 5% of the portfolio. (For example, a

5% local bond position in a country combined with a short (-5%) position in

that country’s currency is fully hedged and, therefore, has 0% active long

currency exposure. A 5% local bond position in a country with an

“additional” 5% currency position represents a 10% active long currency

exposure).

Marketability

All holdings will be of sufficient size and held in issues that are traded

actively enough to facilitate transactions at minimum cost and accurate

market valuation.

Performance Objectives

On an annual basis, WAMCO is expected to outperform the BC Global

Inflation Linked USD Hedged Index return, net of fees, to be measured over

a market cycle of three-to-five years. In addition a second objective is that,

over a three-to-five year market cycle, realized tracking error should not

exceed 1.25% versus the BC Global Inflation Linked USD Hedged Index.

Performance shown is gross of fees. The account's actual return will be reduced by those fees and any other expenses chargeable to the account. As fees are deducted quarterly,

the compounding effect will be to increase the impact of the fees by an amount directly related to the gross account performance. For example, on an account with a 1% annual fee,

if the gross performance were 10%, the compounding effect of the fees would result in a net performance of approximately 8.93%. Returns for periods greater than one year are

annualized. Returns since inception are as of the indicated close of business day.

Los Angeles Water & Power Employees’ Retirement PlanPerformance Summary – Global Inflation LinkedOctober 31, 2018

Source: Western Asset

Western Asset believes that attribution is not a hard science, but rather a means of evaluating strategies to determine their relative impact on overall portfolio performance. The intent of the

manager, therefore, is critical in the evaluation of different strategies, and the return attribution for any sector or strategy could be over or understated due to its inclusion in another

component. Data may not sum to total due to rounding.

Main Risk Positions

As of 26 Nov 18

Country Strategy Position Rationale Risks

UK Curve Underweight 20-30yrs on the curve Less supply in the wings More long dated supply

Duration Underweight real yields Less inflation, BoE stirrings, expensive cross market Equity rally led de-risking

No deal Brexit

US Duration Neutral real yields/Long nominals Growth slowing modestly in 2019, Inflation calm - Fed goes slower Pension fund buying

Curve Bias towards 30yr real yields Ongoing program to reduce the curve flattener More Fed without inflation

Europe Breakeven Neutral Prefer to overweight nominals tactically than breakevens Oil rebound and tight labour markets - upside

inflation prints

Duration Short French real yields Upcoming supply - less pension buying when deeply negative Worse growth outcome

Breakeven Long French BE Cheaper way to play gradual pick up in EZ inflation

Country Overweight Italy Trading cheap to ratings/risk Complete breakdown in relationship with the EZ

Japan Duration Short real yields Growth-inflation better versus BOJ stimulus Better inflation pushes RY more negative

FX FX Long GBP tactically Too much Brexit pessimism - medium term cheap Can be very volatile

FX Long SEK vs EUR Riksbank super dovish in the face of better data/inflation Riksbank ignores the data

FX Long MXN Strong fundamentals Political risk surrounding new President

A. The Board shall pay the Contractor an annual flat fee of 17.5 basis points calculated as follows:

The basis would be the aggregated average market value of the total managed assets in the Accounts as valued by the Custodian

and reconciled by the Contractor hereunder as of the last business day of each calendar month.

B. The Contractor warrants that the annual fee set forth above will not result in payment by the Board of fees

exceeding those that would be payable for management of assets equal in value to the Accounts by any of

the Contractor’s other clients for whom it provides the same or similar services. In the event that the

Contractor enters into a future agreement with another client to provide the same or similar services that

would produce a lower fee for investing assets equal in value to the Accounts, said lower fee shall

automatically apply to this Contract and shall supersede the annual fee set forth above.

C. The contractor shall bill 1/4th of the fees above every quarter and in arrears.

D. For the initial quarter of service hereunder, the fee will be prorated beginning with the first day that funds are

made available for investment. In the event of termination, expiration, and/or resignation of this Contract, the

fee shall be prorated to the date of such termination, expiration, and/or resignation.

E. The annual fees shall be the sole compensation paid to the Contractor by the Board for the services provided

and expenses incurred by the Contractor hereunder. No additional amounts shall be due the Contractor for

overhead, out-of-pocket or other expenses incurred in connection with this agreement.

Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS)

Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) refer to a treasury security that is indexed to inflation in order to

protect investors from the negative effects of inflation. TIPS are considered an extremely low-risk investment since

they are backed by the U.S. government and because the par value rises with inflation, as measured by the

Consumer Price Index, while the interest rate remains fixed.

Real Yield to Maturity

The nominal return an investor would require on a normal bond that would make the real return equal to that of the

inflation-indexed bond, assuming a constant inflation rate.

Nominal Yield to Maturity

The yield to maturity is the internal rate of return on the bond's cash flows: the purchase price, the coupons

received and the principal at maturity.

Break Even Inflation Rate

That average rate of actual inflation which if experienced, would make the return on the TIP identical to that on a

similar maturity Nominal Bond.

Forward Break Even Inflation Rate

That future/forward average rate of actual inflation which if experienced, would make the return on the TIP

identical to that on a similar maturity Nominal Bond
