… via a differentiating investment approach

* The investment portfolio consists of at least 30 holdings

Covering the entire disruption

value chain by investing in firms

spearheading technological

innovation (“Enablers”) and those

benefiting from its adoption

(“Beneficiaries”)

Hybrid allocation integrating

cutting-edge disruptive growth

stories with more stable businesses

Superior diversification by

investing across sectors and

industries, rather than only in the

Technology sector*

Three core themes to invest

across the disruption universe

rather than focusing on individual

trends or technologies

Ability to flexibly adjust

allocation among themes,

capitalizing on technological and

macroeconomic cycles

Low level of correlation between

holdings, thanks to a high degree

of diversification in terms of themes,

technologies, and value chains

High conviction portfolio capable

of identifying and magnifying

specific investment opportunities

Multi-layered integration of

specialized research insights

throughout the investment process

Focus on mid-cap growth

companies with identifiable “paths

to success”, following in-depth

valuation-driven and sustainability-

focused research

…more than just technology…

…more than just one theme…

…more than just the “big names”…

COVID19 update

Key observations and actions

Source: Bank J. Safra Sarasin Ltd.

■ KPIs to monitor (order of relevance):

⮚ Mortality rate and total number of cases

⮚ Governmental actions

⮚ Clustering/density in specific regions/countries

⮚ Treatment and vaccine development

■ Our base case: New Flu-like disease, continues spreading worldwide in the coming weeks,

resulting in disruptions and uncertainties. However, the current market share price correction largely

reflects that case.

■ Impact on Tech: broad based and two sided: supply and consumption. Yet, it will accelerate the

adoption of certain technologies

■ Our actions:

⮚ Developed KPIs, bull/bear/base scenarios

⮚ Reviewed the portfolio structure

⮚ Analyzed the liquidity profile of selected holdings and the portfolio

⮚ Defined COVID19 company exposure scorecard and executed on the selected trades

⮚ Rebalanced the portfolio once the excesses became too large

Business critical vs. discretionary spending

Recurring vs. short cyclical business models

Growth & Low Leverage vs. Value & High Leverage

Products benefitting from the “stay at home” trend

Exposure to cybersecurity, monitoring, alerting

Intel, Rohm

Given the magnitude of the monetary and fiscal stimulus that central banks and governments have

injected into the economies, the rebound will be led by the value and cyclical stocks (e.g.

Semiconductors) in the first phase and growth and quality (e.g. Software) in the second phase

Therefore, we remained disciplined and rebalanced the portfolio structure when the relative weight of cyclical

& value versus quality & growth has dropped by 15%

The current situation will have long lasting implications and will change the future behaviours

of corporates and consumers.

The rising need for faster internet bandwidth, innovative cybersecurity solutions, decentralized

computing and more localized supply chains is set to rapidly increase in the coming years
