risk-BaseD capitalTo potentially improve Risk-Based Capital for on-balance sheet assets, SG developed solutions that may receive favorable NAIC treatment*.

� For new investments made by the Insurance Company (as outright investments into: alternative asset classes, private equity, commodities or non-traditional assets may result in high Risk-Based Capital charges)

SERVICES FOR INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS

quantitatiVe expertiseOur ability to innovate and develop new strategies for our institutional clients is based in large part on our quantitative expertise. The financial engineering team runs sophisticated analysis on investment/hedging strategies to help them identify alpha-generating market opportunities.

Whether it be comparing option maturities and strike levels, simulating the impact of the option rolls, or searching which out-of-the-money options would potentially optimize the results of a strategy, our clients benefit from our advanced engineering capability.

the following are some examples of quantitative studies that we have conducted in order to develop potential customized products for our clients:

Example of quantitative studies #1:How to reduce equity drawdowns by efficiently implementing a call-writing program to buy downside protection?Study on the Enhanced Collar.

Example of quantitative studies #2:How to improve the volatility profile of an equity portfolio using systematic overlays?#1: Study on the Buy-Write Strategy.#2: Study on the Dynamic Hedging Strategy.

Example of quantitative studies #3:How to generate returns from mean-reversion patterns in the S&P 500 Index by capturing the spread between its daily and weekly variance?Study on alternatives to improve the strategy (daily-over-bi-weekly variance swaps vs. daily-over-weekly, rolling strategy, etc.).

custoM inDex DeVelopMentCustom indices are developed in order to best match the investment objectives and constraints of our client base.

We pride ourselves in maintaining an open culture where new strategies are encouraged and enacted:

� Extracting value from “hidden” assets (implied volatility, dispersion, correlation, etc.)

� Implementing cost-efficient hedging solutions (tail risk or full hedging)

� Facilitating access to “hard-to-reach” or “exclusive” asset classes

SGI proprietary strategies (single or multi-assets) are all rules-based investible indices that represent a wide universe of indexation possibilities for certain qualified institutional clients.
