…it is a misconception that bonds and real estate are highly correlated1.1.3
DPAM Quant team, 10/16
The Modeled Correlation is estimated by a DCC-Garch Model. This model works in 2 steps. In a first step it captures the stylized fact that volatility tends to cluster and is
subject to shocks. In a second step this time-varying volatility is filtered out and the remaining residuals are used to estimate the pure (and true) correlation behavior. The
behavior of the correlations is modeled in a similar manner as in the first step: correlation today is dependent on a momentum or autoregressive component (i.e. today's
correlations is linked to yesterday's correlation) and a shock component. Because of the autoregressive component the weights on the historical data decrease exponentially
as opposed to the traditional way of calculating correlation where each observation (no matter how long ago) is considered equally important.

BREXIT andendof UKproperty cycle are now a fact:
Values will go downin months to come andrents will stoprising
Balance sheet of UKcompanies are strongenoughto absorb20% decline in values
Shares are pricing in more than that and funding costs are at very low levels.
Financing of maturingdebt and refinancingof existingdebt is big theme withrates low cost of

Our stance on the UK3.4
In 2015 en 2016 YTD the UK was a major contributor to our relative performance
We reducedour overweight from4% at the end of H1 2015 to end EW at the end of 2015
(25% of portfolio). We soldto 5% UW andbought back onweakness in the secondpart of
February 2016. We were slightly UW goinginto the Brexit vote andare +/- 3% UW today.
We hada stronger active share (more OW’s andUW’s)in the UKthan in the past
We are OW operationally gearedcompanies,strongretail operators,student housingand self
storage (Unite,Safestore,NRR,…,)
We are UW Londonoffice companies,retail operators,industrials andhigh street shopping
We have almost no exposure to the expensive residential market
Debate on UK cycle, whereare we now?
The yield shift (= value increases due to lower yields)is behind us
How severe will the downturnbe, unclearas of today: estimates range from0 to 20%
Comparedto 2008,balance sheets are significantly stronger andbondyields are significantly lower
