Source: Introducing our story The European ETF market is crowded but relatively inefficient

  Assets under management are growing but market penetration is still shallow Liquidity in Europe does not compare to the US

Source – one of the fastest growing ETF providers in Europe

 Outstanding AUM of over US$8.5 BN and trading turnover of US$200 BN in 2 year period since launch – one of the fastest growing ETF providers in Europe  Through its partners, Source is uniquely positioned to deliver highly liquid products and therefore significantly reduced trading costs.  Owned by five of the world’s largest equity trading houses – BofA Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Nomura  Source has leveraged its core partners, as well as 20 other partners including PIMCO and Man GLG, to deliver investors enhanced returns through reduced trading costs  Most robust and transparent solution to counterparty risk in the market: counterparty risk management incorporates counterparty diversification, strict risk limits, unparalleled investor transparency with full investment in listed equities. In the first 2 years, the amount owed to our funds by our swap counterparties has been close to zero

The ETP industry: European market is reaching an inflection point

The European ETP market has had a strong start. Will growth continue to accelerate? Total investment fund assets (TIFA) ETP market share of TIFA 2 US US$25 trillion US$1,140 BN (4.6%) Europe US$18 trillion US$364 BN (2.0%)

Even with no AuM growth, there is a US$473 BN opportunity in Europe if the ETP market share rises from 2.0% to 4.6%

Source P-ETCs: Precious metals have become a valuable financial investment

In recent years, with the introduction of ETPs secured by physical precious metals, demand has soared. To date, over US$120 BN have been invested in physical precious metal ETPs globally, making these products the single largest non-governmental holders of precious metals.

Investors often look to precious metals as a safe haven and store of value. Physical commodity ETPs provide an efficient and convenient exposure to precious metals.

Why physical investment?

   Accurate tracking of underlying spot price Transparency about the location and title of the underlying precious metal Ability to access the metal if need

Why Source Physical P-ETCs?

   Secured by physical precious metals Transparent and competitive cost structure Liquidity provided by world’s leading trading houses

Selecting a new vendor Why did Source need a new data centre partner:

 Our architecture has changed rapidly as we made the fundamental move from a trade workflow tool to a trade execution system

Primary requirements:

    A provider that has real credibility in the financial markets space A fully managed service Improved resiliency required to support real time trade execution Flexibility to add extra capacity and/or new capabilities to the platform without further change in data centre provider  Right sized platform that can be expanded vertically (more powerful hardware) and horizontally (additional hardware) and a strong local and international presence to support future growth plans

The vendor selection process

 Five vendors were shortlisted as potentially candidates. After initial due diligence, the shortlist was reduced to four vendors.
