The gradual recovery continues There are moments in markets when an invisible boundary is crossed, the psychology changes, the focus of investors shifts, events that were previously important become irrelevant while others move center stage. Negative psychological shifts of this type are often a response to single events such as a major bankruptcy. Positive shifts tend to be a reaction to a subtle accumulation of less dramatic events, yet when they happen, their impact can be just as powerful. In recent weeks, we seem to have passed such an invisible boundary. Key signals include the breaking of a key S&P 500 resistance at previous peaks around 1600; the weakening of safe-haven assets like CHF and gold; and the resilience of stock markets to sell-offs, with even the sharp one-day fall in the Nikkei of over 7% being (at time of writing) partially reversed almost immediately. Meanwhile the default on bank deposits in a Eurozone country caused barely a ripple in confidence. The recent soft patch in global economic indicators has been accompanied by an ongoing uptrend in global equities. A barrage of FOMC speeches showing an active, if unfinished, debate about Fed exit policy has attracted analyst attention and caused a few weak days for stocks and US Treasury bonds, but no sustained sell-off. Putting this all together, it seems that sentiment is no longer dominated by the old demons of Eurozone break-up, renewed recession, and the Fed inflating asset prices without helping the economy. Now, the dominant view seems centered around an ongoing recovery with modest inflation. Of course uncertainties abound, over the exact pace of recovery, the timing and style of Fed exit, the level to which equity multiples can rise, the risks of weaker credits. These are crucial issues that can cause brief setbacks but they sit within a psychological and actual environment that is very different, in a positive way, from where we were just a few months ago.

Low inflation allows easy money to underpin stocks uptrend
our strategic focus on stocks, and would look to enter attractively valued markets more forcefully in temporary setback phases. Fixed income: Credits remain underpinned, duration unattractive The three government bond markets that have consistently stood out with yields far apart from (below) their estimated fair values over recent months were Japanese government bonds (JGBs), German Bunds and the Swiss Eidgenossen. Consequently, they exhibit the greatest vulnerability to a correction. The JGB yield rise is testimony to that, although we do not think much more correction is likely from here over the next 612 months. Bunds, although very highly valued, still benefit from the possibility that the ECB could lower rates further. Swiss government bond yields, in contrast, could be the next to correct up closer to their fair value. With systemic risks receding, the attractiveness of un-remunerative Swiss assets has declined and outflows into better yielding alternatives can be expected. Credits remain favored within the fixed income class. We mostly recommend selected bank, corporate and emerging market bonds of short to medium tenor, also as part of our Top 2013 Investment Idea No. 1, Credits, not duration. Equities: Favorable environment for stocks; cyclicals with catch-up potential Within equities, we reiterate our current overweights in the USA and Japan. Further marked bond yield increases in Japan from current levels seem unlikely and the threat to Japanese stocks from there thus seems contained. Valuations are attractive and earnings prospects have improved markedly for Japanese companies, given the weaker JPY. In the USA, valuations are higher, but monetary policy and investor flows should remain very supportive. In Switzerland, higher bond yields could prove detrimental, but if they were to coincide with a slightly weaker CHF, then the downside could be quite limited. Even so, the rather defensive Swiss market could start underperforming after a strong first five months. Indeed, from a sector point of view, cyclicals have started to perform better than defensives over the past month. But the extent of cyclicals underperformance year-to-date leaves room for further catch-up, in our view. We accordingly maintain our Recovery stocks Investment Idea No. 2. Dividend investing (Investment Idea No. 3) remains a valid way for more risk-averse bondproxy investors to gain exposure to stock markets. Alternative Investments: Neutral outlook for commodities; hedge funds and real estate preferred We have revised our strategic outlook for commodities overall, and have turned neutral. Demand for raw materials is rising moderately, but some sectors have seen substantial supply additions. Spare production capacity has emerged, suggesting that upward price pressure for the asset class should remain limited. On gold, we believe that important performance drivers, such as the quest for protection against a general financial meltdown, are fading, while rising inflation expectations fail to materialize as real yields fall no further. But we do not think a proper bear market is likely to ensue as long as real
Low inflation allows Fed exit to be slow and gradual.

Conventional cyclical market mechanics back to the fore Five months into the year, signals are that quantitative easing is finally showing real results. This is when conventional relationships between interest rates, bond and equity valuations come back to the fore in financial markets mechanics as well as in investors minds. Two elements are decisive in determining the degree and imminence of interest rate risks to asset prices. One is whether better economic data are coinciding with rising inflation expectations, therefore resulting in rapidly rising interest rate expectations. Importantly, this is not the case in most developed countries. In the USA, low inflation will likely allow the Fed exit to be slow, with rates globally staying low for a prolonged period. The second is the extent to which asset valuations still have headroom with regard to fundamental anchors. Cheap valuations will allow better absorption of interest rate fluctuations even as the economy and earnings prospects improve. We think that stock valuations remain more attractive than those of bonds. We therefore maintain

yields are not clearly on the rise. Hedge funds and real estate offer better opportunities, in our view, and they remain our preferred alternative investments. We reiterate our Investment Idea No. 5 on US real estate. Currencies: GBP and AUD at risk of further weakening EUR/USD is likely to remain in its broad trading range for as long as interest differentials do not clearly shift in favor of the USD. For EUR/CHF, 1.20 remains a credible floor with a bias toward a weaker CHF. For USD/JPY, more sideward trading from here does not seem unlikely to us either. In our view, the two currencies most at risk of a depreciation are GBP and AUD. We see appreciation potential in MXN and a selection of Asian currencies, including the slowly appreciating CNY in our Investment Idea No. 6.

Strategic asset allocation (SAA) The neutral allocations serve as a guideline and represent the average weighting over an entire market cycle. Since the global strategy is based on a medium-term investment horizon, it deviates from the neutral position. We recommend an overweight in equities and alternative assets, particularly hedge funds and real estate (selected markets). Conversely, we recommend under weighting fixed income investments and liquidity.

Top Investment Ideas for 2013

Fixed Income 1. Beyond cash: Credit not duration Status Action Buy short dated AA- to BBB financials and A to BB non-financials (excluding auto) in CHF, EUR and GBP. Hold USD exposure. Rationale/update Cash is likely to continue to be unremunerative (near-zero yields) in most markets. Corporate bonds of short maturities still offer a reasonable yield pick-up versus cash, given essentially stable default rate expectations for 2013. Conservative investors should focus on investment grade credits. We keep the overall constructive status with more limited opportunities in USD.
Equities 2. Recovery stocks Buy US consumer, M&A and US recovery stocks. Among the three components of the recovery idea, the US recovery stocks have so far performed more modestly than the other two. Based on the expected re-acceleration of the global economy throughout H2 2013, we continue to view the US recovery idea as very attractive. All three components remain on green. For investors who are interested in absolute returns and have expectations of relatively high cash flow disbursements from dividends. Fundamental drivers for equity yield remain intact, despite strong YTD performance. We expect the crude oil price to be well-supported due to robust demand. This should benefit the energy sector, which already started to perform well in mid-April. Higher crude oil prices should disproportionately benefit oil and gas companies with new exploration technologies, or which have an interest in a yet unexploited shale gas, tight oil or deep water oil source, as they are becoming increasingly attractive and profitable the higher the crude oil price is.
3. Dividends and beyond
Buy high-dividend-yielding stocks and stocks generating high free cash flow as well as global convertibles, particularly high yield. Invest in upstream energy stocks.
4. New gas and oil sources
Alternative Investments 5. US real estate Invest in commercial and residential real estate, REITs as well as homebuilding-related stocks. Despite individual softer releases recently, US housing market indicators generally continued their gradual recovery trend. We see further upside in the coming quarters, given record-high homebuyer affordability. Attractive rental yields coupled with slightly positive rental growth prospects form the basis of our constructive view on US commercial real estate. German real estate also appears relatively inexpensive and can benefit from capital inflows.
Foreign Exchange 6. The new hard currencies Buy selected Asian currencies and other selected emerging market currencies funded in EUR or USD. Buy MXN, BRL, TRY, PLN and RUB vs. GBP. We continue to recommend diversification into selected EM currencies out of traditional hard currencies, such as EUR and USD. Further, we view GBP as increasingly becoming a new funding currency, especially for long positions in preferred EM currencies.

The gradual recovery continues
of monetary conditions becoming more accommodative. The differences within Europe nevertheless remain large. In France, investment confidence in particular has suffered strongly over the past year, whereas Germany remains on the stronger side of the spectrum. In the European periphery, order intake and exports have been stronger recently but unemployment remains very high. Overall, our outlook remains one of ongoing gradual improvement in the Eurozone. US consumer resilience versus production soft patch Regional and national manufacturing surveys in the US already indicate some softening in activity. This has now been confirmed by weaker-than-expected industrial production, with a broad-based decline in the April reading. On the more positive side, the latest consumer numbers, e.g., retail sales, remain resilient. Better labor market trends, rising house and stock prices support consumer wealth and sentiment, which helps offset fiscal headwinds. Overall, our outlook for the US economy remains constructive. If final demand continues to stay resilient, we continue to expect the current production weakness to remain temporary.
European demand likely to rise from depressed levels; US soft patch despite strong consumers; emerging markets softer than expected but still solid.
Monetary policy to remain easy as inflation low; Fed emphasis on flexibility to ensure smooth exit.
Thomas Herrmann thomas.herrmann@credit-suisse.com, +41 44 333 50 62
Flexible Fed policy should ensure smooth exit Fed communication continues to highlight greater flexibility. Following discussions about when the Fed might reduce asset purchases, the Fed has indicated that it could also raise purchases further or raise them again after an initial reduction. The Feds emphasis on two-way risk in asset purchases, i.e., less or more, probably aims to signal that it has the means to manage a smooth exit without unwanted market disruptions, such as a significant and sudden jump in yields. Emerging markets: Weaker than expected; trend solid Overall, indicators out of emerging markets have been unconvincing in recent months. In terms of business survey evidence, the majority of emerging market PMI readings are above the growth threshold of 50, but not by much. Especially data releases from the larger economies, such as China or Brazil, have been weaker than expected. In China, GDP growth is now running around 7%8%, in line with government plans for a more sustainable but still solid rate, and there seems little willingness to stimulate. Elsewhere, monetary policy can and is likely to turn more supportive and should help ensure somewhat stronger growth in the second half of the year. (24/05/2013)
We expect gradual global growth to continue and inflation to remain low. Central banks are thus likely to maintain their easy policy and some could even ease more. In Europe, GDP still contracted in Q1 but feeble signs of strengthening domestic demand from very depressed levels are emerging. Eurozone car sales are one example of this; while they are still down sharply from pre-crisis levels, they are beginning to improve. Financial markets are demanding lower risk premia from governments in the European periphery and this remains a key driver

tion of business cycles, with many emerging markets seeing slower growth as the US picks up. The second is the dramatic effect of quantitative easing by central banks on market prices. This has had the effect of driving cash rich investors into higher yielding sectors. Against this backdrop, at least two questions present themselves are defensives now expensive, and what catalysts are required to spur a cyclical rally? (having underperformed defensives by nearly 8% in the past 3 months, cyclicals have outperformed by 3% in the past month). Some defensives looking expensive First, on valuation, upside to consensus analysts targets looks meager for defensive markets, such as Switzerland (0%), and for industries, such as food, beverages and tobacco (1%). P/E ratios are looking full too, with the relative forward P/E for defensives/cyclicals at one standard deviation above its long-term average, though not as stretched as in 2009. Valuations of dividend yielding stocks are also full, with the forward P/E for the MSCI Dividends benchmark index relative to the broad market now close to its highs (our Defensive and Dynamic Dividend baskets, which include a valuation overlay, have forward P/Es close to average levels). In short, investors are paying a premium for defensives. Stay long selected cyclicals Second, the performance of cyclicals is not as bad if we isolate the metals and mining sector. For instance, the consumer durables and autos industries were the third and fourth best performers out of 31 industries in the past quarter. In general, the missing ingredient for cyclicals has been broader, stronger macro growth. If we examine periods in the past 20 years when cyclicals have led the MSCI World recovery/rally, one finds that it has invariably been backed by improving macro (US PMI as the proxy). And, in most of the cases, there was multiple expansion though this time the multiple expansion has been in defensives. As such, the current lull in macro momentum indicators has not helped cyclicals, though the ratio of negative macro surprises in the developed world looks like it is now bottoming. In this context, we reiterate our overweight recommendations on the industrials, consumer discretionary and IT sectors, and underweights in utilities, telecoms and consumer staples. Not to forget financials As a final point, it is also worth mentioning financials, which is not a traditional cyclical sector, though it does tend to perform well in the Recovery stage of the business cycle according to our Cycle Clock analysis. It is currently the sector with the best earnings momentum, and while we are overweight the insurance industry, any pullback in the broad market may present an opportunity to add broader financials exposure. (24/05/2013)
Defensive sectors have strongly outperformed cyclicals this quarter owing to demand for yield.
The metals and mining sector has been the notable laggard.
Michael O'Sullivan Head of Portfolio Strategy & Thematic Research michael.o'sullivan@credit-suisse.com, +44 20 7883 8228
Link between emerging markets and cyclical underperformance Headline equity indices have rallied strongly this year, though the pattern of performance at the sector and regional level has been atypical of what one might expect in the context of a market dominated by strong risk appetite and steadying economic growth. In particular, emerging markets have underperformed developed markets, and cyclicals have lagged defensives. Indeed, the relative performance of classic defensives (utilities, telecoms and staples) relative to cyclical (materials, consumer discretionary, industrials) is now more stretched than in 2009, and nearly as extended as during the aftermath of the dot.com bubble in 2002. This trend has been partly driven by the extreme performance of industries like healthcare, which while not a typical defensive sector, has attracted yield-oriented investors, and by the very poor performance of the metals & mining sector, which has fallen by 20% over the past quarter alone. The weak performance of metals and mining also flags the fact that from a macro point of view, this economic cycle is unusual in at least two respects. The first is the de-synchroniza-

Yield at reasonable risk: Corporate hybrids
redeemed for fixed amounts. Like equity, they are deeply subordinated, have optional coupon payments in certain circumstances without triggering a default, and do not have a fixed maturity (or the maturity date is well in the future, i.e. 60 years). Hybrids are, however, normally callable after 510 years, although there is no certainty that they will actually be called. On average, corporate hybrids in EUR currently offer a yield-to-call of 3.7% p.a., which corresponds to a yield pickup of 2.4% versus senior bonds of the same issuers. While this spread has narrowed in recent months, it still ranges about 0.5% above its historical average. The hybrids yield can also compete with the dividend yield of the STOXX Europe 50 Index (3.8%). Buoyant primary market activity New issues of corporate hybrid bonds have surged strongly this year, with volumes reaching close to EUR 15 bn YTD. We attribute this to the historically low interest rate environment, in which companies can bolster credit metrics at a relatively low cost with a generally tax-deductible instrument (for issuers), and investors search for yield and generally positive risk sentiment. The total return chart shows the outperformance of corporate vs. financial hybrids and vs. senior bonds, though it also reveals the high-beta nature of the hybrid asset class in times of market turmoil. New recommendations Despite the recent rally, we continue to see value in selected, fundamentally solid names, and have initiated new BUY recommendations on the asset class (see actionable ideas). In turn, we have downgraded hybrids issued by Bayer, Linde, Henkel and Siemens to HOLD (from BUY) as they have reached ambitious valuation levels. For more information on the asset class, please ask your Credit Suisse representative for the full report, Corporate hybrid debt on the rise, published on 7 May 2013. (23/05/2013)
Corporate hybrids on average offer a yield pick-up of 2.4% vs. senior bonds (in EUR), and their yield-to-call level (3.7%) is broadly on a par with dividend yields in Europe.
We recently initiated new BUY recommendations on corporate hybrids from somewhat lower-rated credits, which we deem attractive.

Megatrends: Frontier markets
tions, while growth rates have come down. Investors need to look beyond the traditional emerging market economies to frontier markets. Under our new Megatrends Framework, frontier markets constitute one of the Megatrend Investments within the Emerging World megatrend. What are frontier markets? Frontier markets are economies with small and illiquid capital markets, but high growth potential. The market capitalization of the group is just 0.5% of the MSCI AC World, compared to emerging markets, which account for 11.7%. They are a disparate group, with great variations in GDP per capita and population sizes. While poor, they enjoy high growth, demographic tailwinds, improving governance, diversification and attractive valuations. Gulf economies account for a high share of equity capitalization, but the group includes countries, such as Kenya, Nigeria and Bangladesh. Benefits of frontier market investing On aggregate, frontier markets account for 13.4% of the global population, but just 4.9% of global GDP. IMF forecasts indicate that in real terms they will grow by 4.2% p.a. over the next 5 years, i.e., double the rate of developed markets. Frontier markets populations are still young, while the rate of population growth there is expected to be twice that of emerging markets in the coming decades. Governance in the frontier markets is improving, with several countries having democratically elected governments. Africa exemplifies some of these changes, as fiscal and monetary policies are becoming more stable and exchange rates increasingly market-determined. Governments are retreating from their involvement in industry, while the debt write-downs completed in the middle of the last decade have provided relief. The diversification potential of frontier market investments is stronger than with emerging market investments, which now tend to increasingly move in tandem with global equities; the correlation coefficient of frontier markets is much lower than that of emerging markets (0.54 and 0.88, respectively). Additionally, frontier markets also offer a good pick-up in yield (4% against 2.7% for emerging markets) and trade at a discount on a price-to-book basis. Opportunities exist in both the equity and fixed income space. Investors can access local currency bonds via dedicated frontier market debt funds. Africa has some relatively liquid and growing local currency markets, with Nigeria the largest in terms of size (USD 33 bn) and accessibility. For more information, please see our report, Frontier markets to benefit from growth and reduced risk premia, published on 13 May 2013. (23/05/2013)
For risk-tolerant investors, frontier markets are an attractive source of diversification.
Low liquidity, impaired market access and political risks remain a challenge.

Global quantitative easing supporting EMU peripherals
over global government bonds. Further, we highlight our Top 2013 investment idea No. 1, Beyond cash: Credit, not duration, which we expect to perform in line with our moderate single-digit return expectations. We maintain our positive view on EMU peripherals At its last meeting, the ECB cut the main refinancing rate and left the door open to implement further measures to achieve its targets. We share the markets confidence that the ECB will do whatever is necessary to support the economic recovery. We continue to recommend selected peripheral government bonds, given the reasonable pick-up in yields. As we expect growth to return to the Eurozone in the second half of the year, we also accumulate corporate bonds from peripheralheavy sectors such as utilities, telecoms and subordinated financials.

Flattish 12M total return expectations for government bonds Most major 10-year government bond benchmarks have remained range bound since the start of the year. US Treasuries and UK Gilts trade around our fair value estimates, while the valuations of German, Swiss and Japanese paper appear stretched. In our view, the global monetary expansion in a bid to achieve higher growth and inflation should ultimately lead to sustainably favorable credit conditions. We thus reiterate our preference for corporate and emerging markets bonds
No bubble in high yield we remain constructive Given the continued relaxation of bank lending standards, expectations of a sustained economic upturn, as well as sound corporate balance sheets, we forecast essentially stable default rates globally 12 months from now. Further, we expect strong demand technicals to remain intact, as real short-term rates are likely to remain negative in most major currencies and investors continue their hunt for yield. Although absolute yields are at record lows, corporate high yield remains our preferred fixed income asset class, as credit spreads still more than compensate for expected default risk on a strategic horizon.

Equities
Central bank policy the main driver of equity prices
greater significance in the aftermath of the dot.com bubble, when central banking orthodoxy held that asset price bubbles were hard to identify and harder still to lance. Equities today are well off the high multiples reached in 2000, but the effect of central banks on asset prices (bonds as well as equities), and the interplay of this with fundamentals, is again becoming a debating point in the context of aggressive quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. Risk appetite is now high, close to what we would describe as euphoria territory, though when we dig into the detail of our risk appetite index, most of the rise in this index has been driven by the sharp rise in Japanese equities. Indeed, at the sector level (as we detail in this months featured topic on cyclicals and defensives), risk appetite is more muted, and in the expectation of a firmer business cycle, we advocate a move from the more expensive defensive industries toward selected cyclical industries, such as capital goods and consumer durables. We still favor US equities At the regional level, we continue to differentiate between markets where central banks are highly supportive (the US and Japan stand out here) and those where central banks are perhaps more restricted in terms of the options available to them (the Eurozone, for instance). It is also worth noting that both earnings growth and momentum are more promising for Japan and the US than for other regions. As such, we continue to favor these regions, underweighting the commodity-sensitive markets of Australia and Canada. We are also underweight Switzerland, where performance has been uncharacteristically strong this year for a typically defensive market, though we note that valuations for Switzerland are high and the market might be vulnerable if funds were to flow out of the Swiss market. Strategically, provided that central banks in the developed world do not relent in the inventive and supportive monetary policy that the Fed and Bank of Japan have demonstrated, equities are likely to be underpinned, especially in those countries where relatively stronger earnings combine with accommodative policy. (24/05/2013)
Japan stands out as the only region with positive earnings momentum.

Hedge funds and real estate to outperform commodities
weighing on commodities, but benefits real estate and certain hedge fund strategies. Selectivity remains key, and we have a clear preference for US real estate investments as well as directional hedge fund strategies. We are cautious on commodities. Commodities: A more cautious approach is warranted Commodities continue to be under selling pressure. The soft patch in global growth and the deterioration in technical indicators suggest that a more cautious investment approach is warranted at least until growth picks up more sustainably. We have downgraded our strategic outlook for commodities as a whole to neutral. Within commodities, performance can be quite divergent. Oil prices should have some upside amid slowing supply growth. In precious metals, gold is likely to remain under moderate pressure near term, given declining inflation expectations. Longer term, valuation should provide some support and limit the downside risks. Food prices are likely to decline amid overvaluation and surging supply. Hedge funds: Directional strategies continue to perform very well The DJ CS Hedge Fund Index was up 1.4% in April. With a year-to-date performance of 5.0%, hedge funds managed to deliver close to 60% of their average annual historical performance in the first four months of trading. Directional strategies, in particular, have continued their winning streak, with equity long/short and emerging market funds up more than 6.0%. As liquidity and volatility conditions remain supportive and herding tendencies among managers are limited, we think hedge funds have further upside potential. Within hedge funds, directional strategies such as long/short equity should continue to outperform, given low inter-stock market correlations. Real estate: Further upside for US property investments The performance of most direct and indirect US real estate investments has been strong in recent months. While the valuations of many listed US real estate investments are no longer cheap, we continue to see value strategically due to a promising fundamental outlook. We expect the US housing market recovery to broaden in the coming quarters, given record-high homebuyer affordability. Attractive rental yields coupled with slightly positive rental growth prospects form the basis of our constructive view on commercial real estate. (23/05/2013)
Hedge funds: Directional strategies remain supported by favorable volatility and liquidity conditions.
US real estate: Further upside for listed investments despite richer valuations due to robust fundamental outlook.

Less demand for safe haven currencies
Within emerging markets, currency selection will be key. The yield advantage has fallen further as central banks eased and currencies are no longer cheap. We continue to prefer the CNY. We still expect USD/CNY to fall to 6.00 over 12 months, driven by the current account surplus, capital inflows and possibly a widening of the trading band. Diversification out of traditional hard currencies, such as USD, EUR and GBP (Top Investment Idea No. 6: The new hard currencies) remains a topic as long as monetary stimulus in the major economies is not reduced. In Latin America, we prefer the MXN as it offers yield, is fairly valued and is in a technical uptrend. (24/05/2013)

USD base USD USD USD
EUR EUR MXN MXN
Our currency views are broadly unchanged compared to last month. Several central banks across the world have eased monetary policy further and yield compression has continued, even in emerging markets. We thus continue to expect EUR/USD to trade within its broad range of 1.25 to 1.35. We expect the pair to trade toward the upper part of that range given the positive technical trend rating. Further JPY weakness is very likely, in our view, as there are first signs of capital outflows out of Japan, but undervaluation of the JPY is now becoming more pronounced above 100. Within Europe, less demand for safe havens will also weigh on the CHF vs. EUR, especially as the CHF remains richly valued and yields are very low. SNB President Thomas Jordan has also left all options open as regards the EUR/CHF the floor. In our view, the UK needs a weaker currency to rebalance the economy as the current account deficit remains very high. We thus retain our strategic bearish view on GBP vs. USD and EUR. The current soft patch in global growth, little upside for commodity prices and overvaluation are likely to continue to weigh on the AUD and we thus remain negative on the AUD overall.

Important information on derivatives

Pricing Option premiums and prices mentioned are indicative only. Option premiums and prices can be subject to very rapid changes: The prices and premiums mentioned are as of the time indicated in the text and might have changed substantially in the meantime. Derivatives are complex instruments and are intended for sale only to investors who are capable of understanding and assuming all the risks involved. Investors must be aware that adding option positions to an existing portfolio may change the characteristics and behavior of that portfolio substantially. A portfolios sensitivity to certain market moves can be heavily impacted by the leverage effect of options. Investors who buy call options risk the loss of the entire premium paid if the underlying security trades below the strike price at expiration. Investors who buy put options risk loss of the entire premium paid if the underlying security finishes above the strike price at expiration. Investors who sell calls commit themselves to sell the underlying for the strike price, even if the market price of the underlying is substantially higher. Investors who sell covered calls (own the underlying security and sell a call) risk limiting their upside to the strike price plus the upfront premium received and may have their security called away if the security price exceeds the strike price of the short call. Additionally, the investor has full downside participation that is only partially offset by the premium received upfront. If investors are forced to sell the underlying they might be subject to taxing. Investors shorting naked calls (i.e. selling calls but without holding the underlying security) risk unlimited losses of security price less strike price. Put sellers commit to buying the underlying security at the strike price in the event the security falls below the strike price. The maximum loss is the full strike price less the premium received for selling the put. Investors who buy call spreads (buy a call and sell a call with a higher strike) risk the loss of the entire premium paid if the underlying trades below the lower strike price at expiration. The maximum gain from buying call spreads is the difference between the strike prices, less the upfront premium paid. Selling naked call spreads (sell a call and buy a farther out-of-the-money call with no underlying security position): Investors risk a maximum loss of the difference between the long call strike and the short call strike, less the upfront premium taken in, if the underlying security finishes above the long call strike at expiration. The maximum gain is the upfront premium taken in, if the security finishes below the short call strike at expiration. Investors who buy put spreads (buy a put and sell a put with a lower strike price) also have a maximum loss of the upfront premium paid. The maximum gain from buying put spreads is the difference between the strike prices, less the upfront premium paid. Buying strangles (buy put and buy call): The maximum loss is the entire premium paid for both options, if the underlying trades between the put strike and the call strike at expiration. Investors who are long a security and short a strangle or straddle risk capping their upside in the security to the strike price of the call that is sold plus the upfront premium received. Additionally, if the security trades below the strike price of the short put, investors risk losing the difference between the strike price and the security price (less the value of the premium received) on the short put and will also experience losses in the security position if they owns shares. The maximum potential loss is the full value of the strike price (less the value of the premium received) plus losses on the long security position. Investors who are short naked strangles or straddles have unlimited potential loss since, if the security trades above the call strike price, investors risk losing the difference between the strike price and the security price (less the value of the premium received) on the short call. In addition, they are obligated to buy the security at the put strike price (less upfront premium received) if the security finishes below the put strike price at expiration.

Risk disclaimer
Investors should consider this report as only a single factor in making their investment decision. For a discussion of the risks of investing in the securities mentioned in this report, please refer to the following Internet link: https://research.credit-suisse.com/riskdisclosure CS may not have taken any steps to ensure that the securities or financial instruments referred to in this report are suitable for any particular investor. CS will not treat recipients as its customers by virtue of their receiving the report. The investments or services contained or referred to in this report may not be suitable for you and it is recommended that you consult an independent investment advisor if you are in doubt about such investments or investment services. Nothing in this report constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice or a representation that any investment or strategy is suitable or appropriate to your individual circumstances or otherwise constitutes a personal recommendation to you. The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is affected by changes in spot or forward interest and exchange rates, economic indicators, the financial standing of any issuer or reference issuer, etc., that may have a positive or adverse effect on the income from or price of such securities or financial instruments. By purchasing securities or financial instruments, you may incur a loss or a loss in excess of the principal as a result of fluctuations in market prices or other financial indices, etc. Investors in securities such as ADRs, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Commission rates for brokerage transactions will be as per the rates agreed between CS and the investor. For transactions conducted on a principal-to-principal basis between CS
and the investor, the purchase or sale price will be the total consideration. Transactions conducted on a principal-to-principal basis, including over-the-counter derivative transactions, will be quoted as a purchase/bid price or sell/offer price, in which case a difference or spread may exist. Charges in relation to transactions will be agreed upon prior to transactions, in line with relevant laws and regulations. Please read the precontract documentation, etc., carefully for an explanation of risks and commissions, etc., of the relevant securities or financial instruments prior to purchase. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realized. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment, in such circumstances you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realizable and it may be difficult to sell or realize those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed. Please contact your Relationship Manager if you have any questions.

Credit Suisse HOLT With respect to the analysis in this report based on the HOLT(tm) methodology, Credit Suisse certifies that (1) the views expressed in this report accurately reflect the HOLT methodology and (2) no part of the Firm's compensation was, is, or will be directly related to the specific views disclosed in this report. The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign ratings to a security. It is an analytical tool that involves use of a set of proprietary quantitative algorithms and warranted value calculations, collectively called the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model, that are consistently ap-
22

plied to all the companies included in its database. Third-party data (including consensus earnings estimates) are systematically translated into a number of default variables and incorporated into the algorithms available in the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model. The source financial statement, pricing, and earnings data provided by outside data vendors are subject to quality control and may also be adjusted to more closely measure the underlying economics of firm performance. These adjustments provide consistency when analyzing a single company across time, or analyzing multiple companies across industries or national borders. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes the baseline valuation for a security, and a user then may adjust the default variables to produce alternative scenarios, any of which could occur. The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign a price target to a security. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes a warranted price for a security, and as the third-party data are updated, the warranted price may also change. The default variables may also be adjusted to produce alternative warranted prices, any of which could occur. Additional information about the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology is available on request.

HOLT is a corporate performance and valuation advisory service of Credit Suisse.
