CHOOSING THE RIGHT ETF
NEW MODEL ADVISER
LYXOR ETF
FOR FINANCIAL ADVISERS ONLY
We recommend that investors read carefully the “risk factors” section of the Fund’s prospectus and the relevant Key Investor
Information Document*.
Any investment in these Funds involves certain risks, the main risks are as follows:
» CAPITAL AT RISK: ETFs are tracking instruments: Their risk profile is similar to a direct investment in the Underlying Index. Investors’
capital is fully at risk and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.
» REPLICATION RISK: The fund objectives might not be reached due to unexpected events on the underlying markets which will impact
the index calculation and the efficient fund replication.
» COUNTERPARTY RISK: Investors are exposed to risks resulting from the use of an OTC Swap with Societe Generale. In-line with
UCITS guidelines, the exposure to Societe Generale cannot exceed 10% of the total fund assets.
» UNDERLYING RISK: The Underlying Index of a Lyxor ETF may be complex and volatile. When investing in commodities, the Underlying
Index is calculated with reference to commodity futures contracts exposing the investor to a liquidity risk linked to costs such as cost of
carry and transportation. ETFs exposed to Emerging Markets carry a greater risk of potential loss than investment in Developed Markets
as they are exposed to a wide range of unpredictable Emerging Market risks.
» CURRENCY RISK: ETFs may be exposed to currency risk if the ETF is denominated in a currency different to that of the Underlying
Index they are tracking. This means that exchange rate fluctuations could have a negative or positive effect on returns.
» LIQIUIDITY RISK: Liquidity is provided by registered market-makers on the respective stock exchange where the ETF is listed, including
Societe Generale. On-exchange liquidity may be limited as a result of a suspension in the underlying market represented by the
Underlying Index tracked by the ETF; a failure in the systems of one of the relevant stock exchanges, Societe Generale or other market-
maker systems; or an abnormal trading situation or event. Trading prices will only be available in normal market conditions. For more
information regarding trading, please see the ‘Secondary Market’ section on page 31.
*The documentation (prospectus and Key Investor Information Documents) of the Funds are available upon request to Lyxor AM or on the
website www.sglistedproducts.co.uk. The prospectus of Lyxor Index Fund is only available in English.

» ETFs are used by all types of investor; from large institutions to individual retail clients
» As a passive tracking investment, the objective is simply to achieve the market return
» Creates a simple risk / reward profile; if the Index moves 5%, the ETF aims to move 5% too
» Covers the whole risk spectrum from Government Bonds to individual Emerging Markets

USING ETFS IN A PORTFOLIO SUITABLE FOR ANY KIND OF INVESTOR

» Build an efficient, low cost
core portfolio to capture
long term growth
» Invest tactically to take
advantage of shorter
trends or opportunities
» Advisers can diversify a portfolio to control risk and improve the potential for positive returns
» The idea is simple; by including different types of assets, regions or sectors in a portfolio you are
spreading risk and creating greater stability:
» As bonds fall equities and commodities may rise
» As Financial and IT stocks cool off, Utilities and other defensive stocks may benefit
» The right mix depends on investment horizon, risk profile, age and invariably, portfolio size

STEP 1: SELECT THE RIGHT INDEX
7
» With Active funds you buy the manager, with ETFs you buy the Index
» Take the well known FTSE 100 Index;
» 100 largest stocks listed on the LSE by market capitalisation
» Top 10 stocks are responsible for 43% of the performance
» Mainly Financials, Consumer Staples and Energy companies
» You typically have a choice of Indices – e.g US stockmarkets:
» Know what the Index does with dividends; most ETFs track Total
Return Indices which re-invest dividends. Price Return Indices don’t
» Check for currency risk; if the Index currency is different to the ETF
currency, the ETF performance is affected by changes in the
exchange rate between the two currencies

STEP 2: SELECT THE RIGHT ETF
12
PHYSICAL OR SYNTHETIC WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE ANYWAY?
The difference between Physical and Synthetic replication is not as great as
many might say
» Both start with a portfolio of physical assets, which is owned by the fund in a segregated account
» This means that regardless of what happens to the issuer of the fund, the assets can be sold in
order to re-pay investors in both cases
» Where the two types differ is in the role and composition of these physical assets;
» one uses the physical assets for performance (Physical),
» The other for security (Synthetic)
» The best way to track an index is a function of risk and reward
13
E.G. EUROPEAN GOVERNMENT BONDS
European government bonds are high quality
securities with good liquidity and offer limited
opportunity to enhance performance.
For this reason, we believe that the interests
of investors are better served by using a
“Physical Only” method.
PURE PHYSICAL REPLICATION WHEN SIMPLICITY IS KEY
Physical Funds purchase the stocks of the Benchmark Index in order to
create the performance of the fund
» As such, assets must be the same, or very similar to that of the Benchmark Index that they track
» This means that they work well for large, liquid markets where the component stocks or bonds
can be easily purchased and traded
» The ETF provider makes no attempt to optimise the fund’s performance or tracking
» As a result, the investor receives the “passed-through” performance of the fund’s underlying
assets, minus a deduction for fund expenses
14
E.G. EUROPEAN EQUITIES
Optimisation can be implemented
with equal effect through either
Securities Lending or a Synthetic
ETF structure. In the case of the
Euro STOXX 50 index, the
additional gains from optimising
aspects such as dividend tax can
be as much as 0.40%, twice the
average TER
PHYSICAL REPLICATION WITH SECURITIES LENDING WHEN PHYSICAL FUNDS NEED A BOOST
Some Indices can’t be replicated by buying all the same stocks or bonds.
Components may be too illiquid, or there may simply be too many of them
» Instead Physical Fund managers are forced to operate a sampling strategy, where only the
largest and most liquid securities are purchased
» This can create Tracking Error as the ETF assets are not the same as the Benchmark Index
» In order to improve performance, the fund manager can lend out the Fund’s assets to other
financial institutions to gain additional revenue. This is called Securities Lending
» The risk is that the institution borrowing the securities could default, in which case the securities
could be lost, and the fund value would suffer
» To mitigate this risk the ETF receives collateral as security
15
SYNTHETIC REPLICATION WHEN PRECISION IS KEY
Due to the way that performance is delivered, Synthetic ETFs can offer precise
tracking against even the most illiquid or hard to track Index
» This time the role of the physical assets is purely to act as security to the ETF
» The performance is instead provided by a financial instrument called a Performance Swap (Swap)
» A Swap is a contractual agreement negotiated over-the-counter (OTC) between two parties:
» The Swap Counterparty who commits to pay the precise daily performance of the Benchmark
Index, including any dividends to the ETF
» The ETF provider who pays the Swap Counterparty a fee for the Swap, and the performance
of the physical assets it holds, including any dividends
» The Swap can introduce Counterparty Risk to the issuer of the Swap
» Importantly, exposure to the Swap Counterparty cannot exceed 10% of the fund’s Net Asset Value
E.G. EMERGING MARKETS
Where the stocks are particularly
illiquid, or hard to trade, physical
replication can be hard to achieve.
The best way to gain exposure to
these indices without suffering
significant Tracking Error is to use
a Performance Swap.

LYXOR ETF - BEST PERFORMANCE ON THE MAIN EQUITY INDICES IN 2013
Sources: Bloomberg and Lyxor. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of furture returns
According to the ETF Indicator, Lyxor ranks number one on seven of the 10
main equity indices between May 31st 2012 and May 31st 2013
The performance of each ETF was determined by the difference in the Net Asset Value (NAV) between May 31st, 2012, and May 31st, 2013 with dividends reinvested.
Rankings are based on peer group analysis. One peer group was created for each benchmark index. Each peer group includes the 5 largest ETF share classes from the
Top 20 ETF providers as defined by ETFGI, an independent research and consultancy firm. The 5 largest ETF share classes were defined according to the average daily
Assets under Management observed between May 31st, 2012 and May 31st, 2013. The performance of each ETF was determined by the change in Net Asset Value
(NAV) from the NAV of May 31st, 2012 and the NAV of May 31st, 2013 with dividends reinvested. The observed performances were net of management fees. For those
indices not denominated in EUR, Lyxor has converted the currency value of each index into Euro using the Bloomberg index codes and the WM Reuters Forex Rate.

3. Minimise the cost of trading
Create a highly liquid trading
process on both the primary and
secondary market.
4. Maintain low Tracking Error
Employ the most suitable replication
technique for each Index.

WHO HOLDS THE ASSETS? IN A SEGREGATED ACCOUNT FOR USE BY THE ETF ONLY
26
• Shares are purchased and
held by the fund
• They appear in the fund's
balance sheet.
QUALITY IN ALL SITUATIONS
ENSURING QUALITY ASSETS FOR SYNTHETIC ETFS
One of the great advantages of Synthetic replication is that the physical assets
that the fund buys have no impact on the performance of the fund, and as such,
they can be quite different to that of the Benchmark Index
» This time the role of the physical assets is purely to act as security to the ETF
» For investors this means that they can gain exposure to remote and hard to access markets without
actually having to buy those illiquid stocks
» This not only helps to eradicate Tracking Error, but it also means that the physical assets owned by
the ETF can be more liquid, and better diversified than those of the index it is tracking
27
CONTROLLING COUNTERPARTY RISK
MANAGING SECURITIES LENDING ACTIVITIES
Assets held as collateral against Securities lending activities are subject to strict
minimum quality standards and held in a segregated account
» Counterparty Risk can be controlled by capping the amount lent out to 70% of fund holdings
» Daily monitoring ensures collateral continues to comply with minimum value and quality requirement
» Eligible borrowers are vetted by the Risk Divisions of both Societe Generale and Lyxor
» In compliance with the recent guidelines from the European Securities and Markets Association, all
profits generated from Lyxor’s Securities Lending programmes are re-invested into the fund

CONTROLLING COUNTERPARTY RISK
MANAGING SWAP EXPOSURES IN SYNTHETIC ETFS
» Counterparty Risk only exists when the Swap is
positive – i.e. the Index outperforms the ETF assets
» In an effort to remove Counterparty Risk, Lyxor re-
sets the Swap every day
» When the Benchmark Index out performs the physical
assets, the Swap Counterparty pays the ETF
» Lyxor uses this payment to buy more physical assets
in order to maintain a value of more than 100% of the
ETF Net Asset Value
» When the ETF assets outperform the Benchmark
Index, assets are sold to pay the Swap Counterparty
» This way any debt between the two parties is paid
each day and the Counterparty Risk is removed
The risk with a Synthetic ETF is that the Issuer of the Swap defaults and is
unable to pay the performance of the Benchmark Index to the fund
Average Swap level across all
Lyxor ETFs is -1.44%*

SECONDARY MARKET
Lyxor Investors can buy or sell an ETF at any time in the Secondary Market prior to the Exercise Date on any regular
LSE trading day from 8.15am to 4.30pm. The value of the ETF will vary on an intraday basis.
Liquidity is provided by registered market-makers on the respective stock exchange where the ETF is listed, including
Societe Generale. On-exchange liquidity may be limited as a result of a suspension in the underlying market
represented by the Underlying Index tracked by the ETF; a failure in the systems of one of the relevant stock
exchanges, Societe Generale or other market-maker systems; or an abnormal trading situation or event.
Cases in which there is no guarantee that liquidity will be available on the secondary market, and therefore normal
market conditions may not prevail, include where:
The Underlying Asset level is suspended or not tradable;
There is a failure in the LSE, Societe Generale or other market maker systems;
Abnormal trading conditions e.g. sudden and sharp volatility increase or lack of liquidity in the underlying.
This means that an investor may find it difficult or impossible in certain circumstances to sell the ETF or may be offered
a price less than they paid for it
