2. Lessons from existing Life-Cycle offerings

3. Target-Date «Life-Cycle» Funds Definition • Target date funds, which are also called lifecycle funds, are designed to offer a convenient way to invest for a person expecting to retire around a particular date. A target date fund pursues a long-term investment strategy, using a mix of asset classes (or asset allocation) that the fund provider adjusts to become more conservative over time. Research shows that asset allocation is one of the most important factors in long-term portfolio performance. • Diversification across asset classes • Avoiding extreme asset allocations • Automatic rebalancing • Automatic adjustment for changing risk profile • Source: www.ici.org Features

4. Target-Date «Life-Cycle» Funds US MARKET • The target-date fund industry continues to have some of the most consistent cash flows among all open-end mutual funds For the past five years, net flows into these funds have averaged about USD 48 billion per year • In 2013 target-date funds took in nearly USD 51 billion in net new assets, bringing the industry’s total net assets up to USD 621 billion • Target date strategies is expected to capture 63.4% of 401(k) contributions in 2018 Source: Ibbotson; Global analytics firm Cerulli Associates

5. Target-Date «Life-Cycle» Funds …and in Europe? • European Life-Cycle funds are structurally different to US funds and take a far more aggressive approach. • Some experiences: Austria: first introduced lifecycle investing in 2004 as a “target risk fund”. Now almost all schemes to secure retirement for employees (Pensionskasse) offer a lifecycle option Netherland: lifecycle funds have grown to such an extent that in 2007, the Pension Act required all defined contribution schemed to have a lifecycle default. Sweden: in 1998, the government passed pension reforms increasing the use of lifecycle funds. Although lifecycle represent only a small segment of the market, their role has endured for over a decade

6. With previous offers, risk of sacrificing protection or performance • Target date offers with 100% max NAV formal protection • Risk of sacrificing upside potential in low interest rate environments • Opportunity cost for investment occurring in high rate context • Target date offers de-risking over time (“glide-path”) but no formal protection • Risk of protection being insufficient for some investors • Need to develop a new type of offering, combining protection and upside potential Source: BNPP IP, for illustrative purposes only

7. Need for a solution adaptative to various interest rate regime Swap rates Interest rates: currently low… and unpredictable over a long term savings horizon ? • Our starting point to develop BNP Paribas Plan Easy Future Source: BNPP IP

8. Innovation 1 • Protection mechanism Easy Future: ouranswer, based on two innovations • Protection and upside potential reconciled • Adaptation to market changes • An offer built to remain relevant in the future • Potential good news to come Aiming to reconciliate • - Value formally protected at maturity • Protection adaptative to: • Interest rate • Time remaining to maturity • Innovation 2 • Management of the risky assets • Reasonable sized cushion • High diversification • Risk-controlled leverage • A breakthrough approach documented in a white paper

9. Easy Future for the investor in a nutshell Range of 8 open-ended target dated sub-funds ranging from 2018 to 2043, allowing to invest at one’s own pace and respect one’s own horizon, well-adapted to progressive savings Aiming to offer a good balance between: • capital growth potential: • a well-calibrated portion of funds invested in performance engines • an adaptative Formal Protection: • a formally protected value at maturity for each fund which can only increase over time & A Cushion Portfolio Insurance range of funds with relevant value proposal whatever time left to maturity & interest rates, hence well-adapted to progressive savings

10. An adaptative protection mechanism • A formally protected Value at maturity, which can only increase over time • Common to all the investors of a given sub-fund • Formal protection given by the BNP Paribas Group • A daily calculation to determine the protection • Daily calculation of new potential value at maturity: • New value at maturity only taken into account if above previous one Protected Value at maturity = Current NAV x Current Protection Ratio The best of 2 1. Linked to time remaining to maturity 2. Linked to interest rate conditions Introducing a new approach: PIWAP = Portfolio Insurance With Adaptative Protection

12. 2nd protection: paradigm change by linking it to interest rates Our proposition = adapt protection to interest rate conditions Invest a reasonably-sizedcushion in riskyassets Deduct the relevant protection giveninterest rates 1 2 Case 1: low interest rates (1.5%) Case 2: high interest rates (5%) ? 200 ? 25 years Cushioninvestable in riskyassets Cushioninvestable in riskyassets 25 85 25 25 years 75 75 Assetsensuring protection Assetsensuring protection NAV=100€ Protected NAV at maturity = 200€ NAV=100€ Protected NAV at maturity=85€ Protection and upside potential combined ; value proposition aiming at being relevant whatever interest rates Source: BNPP IP; for illustrative purpose only ; Management fees assumption: 1% - * Level of the cushion if a new protection is given

14. Protection at maturity ensured by low risk fixed income assets • A synthetic fixed income portfolio specific to each BNP Paribas Easy Future fund with a maturity matching the fund’s maturity • A zero coupon behavior • A synthetic exposure replication to a BNP Paribas collateralized bond • BNP Paribas ratings (4 April 2014): A+ (S&P), A1 (Moody’s), A+ (Fitch) • Maturity of the synthetic BNP Paribas bond matching the fund’s maturity • Funding level reflecting BNP Paribas rating and BNP Paribas UCI funding vehicles • An active duration management to optimize rebalancing between the Low risk fixed income portfolio and the cushion invested in risky asset Cushion invested in risky asset Low risk Fixed income Fixed income assets following strict guidelines

15. Risky asset portfolio specifically designed for CPPI structure Cushion invested in Risky asset • Designed and managed to be used in CPPI structures with a controlled downside risk to minimize monetization: • Global diversification aiming at reducing downside risk • Leverage to boost returns but a flexible leverage aiming at reducing drawdown risk • A model portfolio based on risk budgeting approach to ensure diversification over time • 80 % of the risk budget allocated to directional exposure on traditional asset classes • 20% of the risk budget allocated to a largely diversified portfolio of absolute return strategies • An active management that can deviate from the model portfolio to benefit from market opportunities or protect from market threats • risk budget allocated to directional exposure can vary from 50% and 100% • risk budget allocated to absolute return leeway can vary from 0% and 50% Low risk Fixed income Combination aiming at being well-prepared to face different market conditions Source: BNPP IP; for illustrative purpose only
