PAYDEN US DOLLAR LIQUIDITY FUND - UCITS 31 JANUARY 2016 FUND HIGHLIGHTS & STRATEGY MARKET § Invests in short-term investment-grade US dollar-denominated instruments § The year began with heightened market volatility on concerns over economic conditions and a continued slide in oil prices. The Federal Reserve left the Fed Funds rate unchanged, but has not ruled out another hike in March. Two-year maturity Treasuries ended the month at 0.77%. § Fund investments in US Government and agency securities provide high degree of liquidity § Over $100 billion was issued in the primary markets for investment-grade corporate securities, but could have been higher as some issuers stood down given the market conditions. Commodity-sensitive businesses led the declines in the corporate sector. § Diversified portfolio holdings § Moody’s placed 55 metals and mining companies on review for a downgrade, adding to the challenging environment that these companies operate in. OUTLOOK § The Federal Open Market Committee should continue to raise the Fed funds target if solid economic data persists, hiking at least twice this year. TRAILING RETURNS - USD DISTRIBUTING SHARE CLASS 0.6% 0.54% 0.54% § An increase in corporate leveraging, in addition to mergers and acquisitions activities, will provide opportunities to benefit from total return potential through new issue concessions in the primary markets. 0.5% 0.4% 0.3% 0.20% 0.2% 0.1% 0.0% 0.09% 0.00% YTD (31.01.16) § High levels of volatility will persist as the uncertainty over monetary policy, geopolitical factors and regulatory changes affect market dynamics. 0.00% Jan 16 1 Year 3 Year 5 Year Since Inception (01.07.07) SECTOR ALLOCATION Asset-Backed Mortgage-Backed 1% 6% Money Markets 25% CREDIT ALLOCATION DOMICILE OF ISSUERS Euroland 5% Other 5% Scandinavia 2% UK 5% BBB 19% Corporates 40% AAA 56% A 19% Government/ Gov't Related 28% AA 6% US 83% .
