The Commodity Evolution:

The Changing Face of Commodity Investing

Credit Suisse AG, Investor Solutions July 2013

* None of the indices or instruments discussed herein provides investors with the rights to any physical commodities

 

Executive Summary

§ Commodities are an asset class included in a client’s portfolio, traditionally, for its diversification and inflation hedging characteristics.

§ However, investing in commodities has become more challenging in recent years as the returns of individual commodities have diverged significantly.

§ Commodity strategies have evolved from passive beta towards more dynamic, systematic strategies that can focus on individual commodity supply/demand fundamentals.

§ Dynamic long-only commodity index strategies using a rules-based, transparent methodology seek to provide the traditional benefits of passive commodity beta with potential for enhanced performance.

Super-cycle returns coincided with the surge in Chinese demand

Historical comparison of China industrial and export data vs. the SPGCCI

The Chinese economy grew steadily from the mid-1990s through 2001, when China joined the WTO (World Trading Organization).

From 2002 – 2007, demand for Chinese goods dramatically increased, accelerating China’s growth and demand for the raw materials needed for production.

From 2011 – mid-2013, Chinese industrial production, exports, and steel production have declined significantly.

Benchmark Index commodity selection and weighting methodology

Commodity Selection

The commodities and weightings to be used in the Benchmark Index are determined annually

§ Objective is to incorporate as many physical commodity futures as possible while maintaining the liquidity required

§ The commodities to be used in the Benchmark Index are filtered based on sufficient open interest (ability to absorb sizable positions) and volume of trading (ability to efficiently trade in and out of positions), as determined by the Benchmark Index framework steering committee pursuant to the Benchmark Index methodology

Weighting Methodology

Each commodity included in the Benchmark Index is assigned a fixed annual weight based on Relative Commodity Weight and Target Investment Weight mechanisms§ Relative Commodity Weight (‘RCW’) – measure of production weight, or percentage of worldwide production value divided by total production value of all commodities selected for inclusion in the Benchmark Index. RCW is then adjusted further for specified commodities in an effort to avoid over-influence§ Target Investment Weight (‘TIW’) – sequentially after determining RCW, weights are subject to liquidity control mechanisms in an effort to ensure there is sufficient market liquidity for each weighting§ Index investment support level – ensures no notional futures contract allocation exceeds 10% of average daily open interest for any one commodity at a total index size of US$7.0 billion (subject to annual adjustment)§ Marginal inflow test – ensures that any notional futures contract marginal inflow exceeding US$1.0 billion does not breach a given threshold of average daily volume

Benchm ark Index monthly rebalancing

Rebalancing:

The Benchmark Index weights are rebalanced to the specified weight monthly, maintaining index diversification over time. This seeks to decrease volatility by attempting to avoid excessive concentration.

Illustration: A component outperforming its peers

Selected risk considerations: Risks related to the Benchmark Index

Concentration risk – The Benchmark Index reflects a concentrated exposure to commodities and, therefore, could experience greater volatility than a more diversified investment and is exposed to significant market risks.

Commodity prices are characterized by high and unpredictable volatility, which could lead to high and unpredictable volatility in the Benchm ark Index – Market prices of the notional commodity futures contracts referenced in the Benchmark Index tend to be highly volatile. Commodity market prices are not related to the value of a future income or earnings stream, as tends to be the case with fixed-income and equity investments, but are subject to rapid fluctuations based on numerous factors, including changes in supply and demand relationships, governmental programs and policies, national and international monetary, trade, political and economic events, changes in interest and exchange rates, speculation and trading activities in commodities and related contracts, weather, and agricultural, trade, fiscal and exchange control policies.

The Benchm ark Index tracks prices of futures contracts with expiration dates approximately one to three months in the future, which m ay affect the level of the Benchm ark Index in various ways – A futures contract for a commodity typically specifies an expiration date, which is the date on which the contract will cease to trade, and a delivery date, which is the date on which the underlying physical commodity referenced by the futures contract is delivered. A

“front-month futures contract” refers to the futures contract that has the nearest expiration date. The Benchmark Index selects and rolls the underlying commodities futures contracts according to a rules-based strategy. As a result, the Benchmark Index provides exposure to futures contracts with varying maturities, and the performance of the Benchmark Index will differ from indices that track only front-month futures contracts.

The Benchm ark Index does not provide exposure to spot prices of com m odities – Price movements in futures contracts on commodities may not correlate with changes in the spot prices of commodities. A variety of factors can lead to a disparity between the price of a futures contract in a commodity and the spot price of that commodity, including storage costs, transportation costs, interest rates and expectations concerning supply and demand for the commodity. The Benchmark Index provides exposure to prices of futures contracts and not the spot prices of the commodities underlying the Benchmark Index.

You will not have any rights in any physical com m odities, or any rights in the com m odity futures contracts included in the Benchmark Index.

Potential conflicts – Credit Suisse and its affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the Benchmark Index, including acting as calculation agent and index sponsor, and expects to hedge its obligations under any financial instrument linked to the Benchmark Index. In performing these roles, the economic interests of the calculation agent, index sponsor and other affiliates of Credit Suisse are potentially adverse to the interests of an investor seeking exposure to the Benchmark Index.

The Benchm ark Index has limited perform ance history and m ay perform in unexpected ways.

Past perform ance of the Benchm ark Index is not indicative of future perform ance – The actual performance of the Benchmark Index may bear little relation to the historical values of the Benchmark Index. We cannot predict the future performance of the Benchmark Index.

These risks are not exhaustive – The selected risk considerations herein are not intended as a complete description of all the risks associated with the

Benchmark Index. For further information regarding risks, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the applicable pricing supplement.

Credit Suisse Commodity Backwardation Total Return Index

(the “Backwardation Index”)

Slide 19

 

Backwardation Index

The Backwardation Index follows a rules-based dynamic commodity strategy that attempts to optimize commodity weighting by emphasizing components with backwardated curve shapes*. Backwardated term structures have historically occurred at times of scarcity and can indicate that a long position can continue to experience positive movement over a longer time horizon. Backwardated commodities also historically have experienced positive returns from rolling futures contracts.

§ The possible investment universe consists of single commodity sub-indices whose underlying commodities are the 24 commodities currently part of the S&P GSCI index.

§ The level of backwardation / contango (the “basis”) is measured between two observation points on the curve (month 1 and, generally, month 6).

§ Each month, the Backwardation Index runs the allocation model, whereby the 8 components (subject to sector caps) with the greatest amount of backwardation, or least contango, are equally weighted 12.5% each.

§ Components are placed in months 4, 5, and 6 of their respective curves (subject to liquidity constraints).

§ The Backwardation index is always fully allocated to long exposure in the selected components and can’t short components

*“Backwardation” describes situations where, for any given commodity, the prices of futures contracts that are nearer to expiration are higher than the prices of futures contracts with longer to expiration. “Contango” describes situations where the prices of futures contracts nearer to expiration are lower than the prices of futures contracts Slide 20 with longer to expiration.

 

Backwardation Index - background

Backwardation and contango describe shapes of the forward curves for a given commodity. In a “normal” market, prices further out on the term structure are higher than nearby prices. This upward sloping shape is referred to as contango. Backwardation describes commodity curves where nearby prices are higher than forward prices. Backwardation indicates a downward sloping curve.

Contango

(Forward prices higher than nearby prices)§ Theoretically, in a “normal” market, prices further out on the term structure are higher than nearby prices (referred to as “contango”) due to costs related to: o Storage o Insurance Price o Financing Time to expiration

Backwardation

     (Forward prices lower than nearby prices)§ Market participants sometimes view backwardation as a signal that the underlying market for that commodity is “tight,” meaning in short supply and experiencing buying pressure for nearby deliveries: o When a commodity becomes scarce in the physical market, consumers in need of the commodity bid up its price Price o This behavior forces the front of the futures curve up, potentially bringing the term structure into backwardation§ The prices of com m odities in physically tighter markets, i.e. backwardation, Time to expiration historically tended to outperform those in less physically tight markets.

Selected risk considerations: Risks related to the Backwardation Index

Concentration risk – The Backwardation Index reflects a concentrated exposure to commodities and, therefore, could experience greater volatility than a more diversified investment and is exposed to significant market risks. In addition, the index methodology may result in concentration in commodity sectors.

Com m odity prices are characterized by high and unpredictable volatility, which could lead to high and unpredictable volatilit y in the Backwardation Index –Market prices of the notional commodity futures contracts referenced in the components of the Backwardation Index tend to be highly volatile. Commodity market prices are not related to the value of a future income or earnings stream, as tends to be the case with fixed-income and equity investments, but are subject to rapid fluctuations based on numerous factors, including changes in supply and demand relationships, governmental programs and policies, national and international monetary, trade, political and economic events, changes in interest and exchange rates, speculation and trading activities in commodities and related contracts, weather, and agricultural, trade, fiscal and exchange control policies.

The Backwardation Index tracks prices of futures contracts with expiration dates four to six m onths in the future, which m ay affect the level of the Backwardation Index in various ways – A futures contract for a commodity typically specifies an expiration date, which is the date on which the contract will cease to trade, and a delivery date, which is the date on which the underlying physical commodity referenced by the futures contract is delivered. A “front-month futures contract” refers to the futures contract that has the nearest expiration date. Each of the components referenced in the Backwardation Index selects and rolls the underlying commodities futures contracts according to a rules-based strategy. As a result, the Backwardation Index provides exposure to futures contracts with varying maturities, and the performance of the Backwardation Index will differ from indices that track only front-month futures contracts.

The Backwardation Index does not provide exposure to spot prices of com m odities – Price movements in futures contracts on commodities may not correlate with changes in the spot prices of commodities. A variety of factors can lead to a disparity between the price of a futures contract in a commodity and the spot price of that commodity, including storage costs, transportation costs, interest rates and expectations concerning supply and demand for the commodity. The Backwardation Index provides exposure to prices of futures contracts and not the spot prices of the commodities underlying the components comprising the Backwardation Index. Accordingly, increases in the spot prices of commodities may not result in increases in the prices of the futures contracts underlying the components comprising the Backwardation Index.

The index m ethodology m ay be ineffective, causing the Backwardation Index to produce returns that underperform other commodity indices and the level of the Backwardation Index to decrease –Although the index methodology seeks to capture returns by taking long positions in components whose underlying commodities exhibit the highest degree of backwardation (or lowest degree of contango), there can be no guarantee that the index methodology will succeed in these objectives. Furthermore, even if the index methodology is successful in identifying the components with the highest degree of backwardation, the degree of backwardation is not necessarily an accurate indication of future prices. If the components selected by the index methodology decrease in value, the level of the Backwardation Index will likely decline.

You will not have any rights in any physical com m odities, or any rights in the com m odity futures contracts included in the components comprising the Backwardation Index .

Potential conflicts – Credit Suisse and its affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the Backwardation Index, including acting as calculation agent and index sponsor, and expects to hedge its obligations under any financial instrument linked to the Backwardation Index. In performing these roles, the economic interests of the calculation agent, index sponsor and other affiliates of Credit Suisse are potentially adverse to the interests of an investor seeking exposure to the Backwardation Index.

The Backwardation Index has lim ited perform ance history and m ay perform in unexpected ways.

Slide 29

 

Selected risk considerations: Risks related to the ETNs (1 of 2)

The ETNs do not have a minimum redem ption or repurchase am ount and you m ay lose all or a significant portion of your investment in the ETNs – The ETNs do not have a minimum payment at maturity or daily repurchase value and are fully exposed to any decline in the indices. Furthermore, the return at maturity or upon repurchase will be reduced by the fees and charges associated with the ETNs. Therefore, the level of the relevant index must increase by an amount sufficient to offset the applicable fees and charges.

No interest payments – You will not receive any periodic interest payments on the ETNs.

The ETNs are subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse – Although the return on the ETNs will be based on the performance of the indices, the payment of any amount due on the ETNs, including any payment at maturity, upon early redemption or acceleration, is subject to the credit risk of

Credit Suisse. Investors are dependent on Credit Suisse’s ability to pay all amounts due on the ETNs, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk. In addition, any decline in our credit ratings, any adverse changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness or any increase in our credit spreads is likely to adversely affect the market value of the ETNs prior to maturity.

Your paym ent at maturity, upon early redem ption or acceleration will be reduced by the fees and charges associated with the E TNs and the underlying index.

Strategy risk – The performance of the indices will not be representative of the performance of the commodities market generally, and there is no assurance that the strategies on which the indices are based will be successful.

The ETNs are listed on NYSE Arca – We have listed the ETNs on NYSE Arca under the symbols “CSCB” (ETNs linked to the Benchmark Index) and “CSCR” (ETNs linked to the Backwardation Index). We expect that investors will purchase and sell the ETNs primarily in this secondary market. We have no obligation to maintain these listings on NYSE Arca or any listing on any other exchange or to issue any additional ETNs, and may delist the ETNs at any time.

The indicative value is not the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary m arket – The trading price of the ETNs at any time is the price at which you may be able to sell your ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the indicative value of such ETNs at such time. Before trading in the secondary market, you should compare the indicative value with the then-prevailing trading price of the ETNs.

Owning the ETNs is not the sam e as directly owning the futures contracts referenced in the underlying index.

Selected risk considerations: Risks related to the ETNs (2 of 2)

We have the right to accelerate the ETNs in whole or in part at any tim e – We have the right to accelerate the ETNs in whole or in part at any time. The amount you may receive upon an acceleration by Credit Suisse may be less than the amount you would receive on your investment at maturity or if you had elected to have us repurchase your ETNs at a time of your choosing.

Investm ent and tax risk – The information contained in this presentation does not provide personal investment or tax advice. Potential investors should consult their accounting, tax, legal and regulatory advisors regarding such matters as they may apply to your particular circumstances.

Executive Summary

§ The Benchmark Index seeks to provide wider diversification and a closer reflection of the overall global commodity universe than other peer indices:

v More commodities (34)v A longer roll period (15 business days)v Invests in futures contracts across multiple delivery period (where available)

§ The Backwardation Index takes innovation a step further and seeks to concentrate long exposure to commodities that are in relative physical scarcity:

v Historically, commodities in relative scarcity have tended to outperform those in oversupplyv A backwardated futures curve can be used as a signal for the market’s reflection of relative scarcityv Strategy dynamically allocates each month to the eight most backwardated (or least contangoed) commodities (out of S&P GSCI universe of 24), subject to applicable sector caps
