56 Strengthening Local Capital Markets International tranches are being used to diversify investor base and create greater price tension for relatively large offerings However, sizeable issues solely focused on local distribution are becoming more commonplace depth of capital markets driven by developed private pension funds and need for longterm instruments strong liquidity of domestic retail financial sector and increasing significance of onshore wealth management scarcity value of local securities different risk appetite/profile of local investors vis-à-vis international dedicated funds increasing focus of international emerging market funds on Eastern Europe and Asia Going forward, we believe this trend, which begun in Chile, could strengthen in Mexico and potentially develop in Brazil and other LatAm markets In the long term, the need for a more diversified investor base and diversified investment portfolios will eventually stabilize this trend

57 Strengthening Local Capital Markets As witnessed in Chile and Brazil, local institutional and retail investors have demonstrated a strong demand for equity and fixed income securities 15 Indexed Performance (US$) /14/4 7/14/4 1/14/4 1/13/5 4/15/5 Brazil Bovespa Mexico Bolsa Argentina Merval Chile IGPA MSCI LatAm S&P 5

62 Development of Local Debt Capital Markets Due to a sharp decrease in interest rates and increased stability in recent years, companies have accessed domestic financing options on a greater scale The privatization of social security throughout Latin America has created new pension fund companies (i.e Afore in Mexico, AFPs in Chile), which have grown to be the largest institutional investors. The rise of this institutions, along with a growing mutual fund industry, has accounted for a large growth in domestically invested funds Afores in Mexico have approximately US$4 billion in assets under management, with mandatory contributions of approximately US$5mm every few months In Mexico for instance, commercial banks and mortgage banks are striving to gain market share or a dominant position in the country s fast-growing mortgage sector mortgages growing at 14.4% (3-6E)

64 Corporate Restructuring Key Themes Inflection point in economy and markets rising interest rates in the US less certain perceptions of political risks booming equity capital markets, but for how long? Increased relevance of local players emergence of local companies wanting to build regional platforms and consolidate markets local knowledge as a competitive advantage particularly in a time of uncertain local risks Transition in family own companies Redefinition of Latin American Competitive Landscape Consolidation reactivated across the board with local players taking the lead Local conglomerates building regional platforms Regionalization effect expected to continue considerable discussion within some family led companies on the transformational transaction with some international players already or potentially moving into the game
