From: Paul Barrett < Sent: Monday, June 25, 2018 6:38 PM To: Jeffrey E. Cc: Richard Kahn Subject: RE: New Idea for your approval I think most of the regional banks represented in the ETF have faced similar headwinds with respect to increased compliance costs and caps on divididend distributions. This is expected to ease. With the recent SIFI changes I also think we will see an M&A wave. The U.S does not need 6,000 regional banks. I don't know which banks get acquired but owning the ETF will allow us to capture all these themes.

Would rather re-allocate to KRE (regional bank exposure). $213K; P/L +$112K. I think KRE is well positioned given the regulatory tailwinds, strength on Main Street, no FICC reliance etc. Just to maintain Fins exposure. It would top KRE up to $2MM. 3. MSFT, AVGO and Equinix — part of the data center theme. I think this theme has legs but MSFT and EQIX positions too small. Sell those. MSFT $508K. P/L +$11K; EQIX $497K P/L +54K. 4. JD.Com - sell if it drops below $38. It is the Amazon of China. However it cannot seem to break higher due to margin concerns. $1.9MM; P/L -$59K at current level.

The risk around retaliation is growing but if we can buy these calls with a 10% implied vol, I think these could work very well at the first sign of any reconciliatory comments from Washington. I would look to trade out of these if we get a bounce back to 2750 on SPX this week. If we don't get the bounce by Friday I would sell. Also to further clean up the portfolio I would recommend the following over the coming days: 1. Sell BUD. It is a small position with too much reliance on EM to make a meaningful impact right now. 2. Sell BAC. Also a very small position. Would rather re-allocate to KRE (regional bank exposure}. 3. MSFT, AVGO and Equinix — part of the data center theme. I think this theme has legs but MSFT and EQIX positions too small. Sell those. 4. JD.Com - sell if it drops below $38. It is the Amazon of China. However it cannot seem to break higher due to margin concerns. Currently at $39.43.
