Betashares Active Australian Hybrids ETF (HBRD) – Sold – whilst our conviction remains here, new
               product developments in the ETF market have resulted in a pivot to a broader bond exposure (across
               security types and regions) and a more active approach to managing bond assets.

               Betashares Australian Major Banks Hybrid Index ETF (BHYB) – Sold – whilst our conviction remains
               here, new product developments in the ETF market have resulted in a pivot to a broader bond
               exposure (across security types and regions) and a more active approach to managing bond assets.

               Macquarie Income Opportunities Active ETF (MQIO) – Bought – this is a new ETF which is based on a
               fund that we’ve covered for more than 17 years now. We like the active and flexible approach that
               seeks out opportunities both locally and offshore in bond markets. The investment philosophy is clear
               and simple in seeking to deliver attractive returns across different market conditions. The strategy is
               powering a core portfolio of highly rated investment grade securities, supplemented by opportunistic
               allocations to more riskier parts of the bond spectrum. The team here is very large and highly
               experienced, with stable leadership at the top.

               Macquarie Dynamic Bond Active ETF (MQDB) – Bought – this is a new ETF which is based on a fund
               that we’ve covered for more than 17 years now. We like the active and flexible approach that seeks
               out opportunities both locally and offshore in bond markets. The investment philosophy is clear and
               simple with a focus on capital preservation and liquidity. The very large and highly experienced team
               seeks out the best opportunities available across the global bond spectrum. The highly flexible
               approach sees the team adopt a strategic approach to interest rate exposure (duration) which may
               bear little resemblance to the benchmark, whilst also taking advantage (to a lesser extent) of more
               opportunistic ideas in riskier parts of the bond spectrum.
               Vaughan Nelson Global SMID Fund – Bought – this ETF is run by one of our highest conviction picks in
               the global small and mid-size company peer group. This ETF provides exposure to an attractive
               segment of the market, with valuation support and significant upside potential. The investment
               process is clear, with a focus on either undervalued earnings growth, discount to asset value or
               attractive dividend yield.
