Like your Apollo shares, the broader Alternative Asset Manager group has benefitted from a gearing to rising asset prices; strong performance on underlying funds are translating to performance return participation and greater the earnings at the company level, not to mention that meaningful inflows to alternative investments are leading to increased AUM fee collection. I like this structure below. The underlying companies (Blackstone and Carlyle) may have run, but earnings outlook appears solid and this structure is a way to monetize vol with an attractive risk/return profile. Base case of getting called in year-one with a 25% coupon and having that 35% downside protection. Downside participation if the worst- of breaches the 65% barrier; max loss 100%. Issuer: Structure: Underlyings: Tenor: DIP Barrier: KO Barrier: Redemption Barrier: Snowball Coupon: Autocall: Max Gain: 75% over 3yrs (25% p.a.) Max Loss: 100% DB Knock In - Knock Out Barrier Note with Snowball Coupon Worst of BX US and CG US 3 Yrs 65% (European) 112% (if worst-of is above KO Barrier on any day then DIP knocks out and note becomes principal protected) 100% (autocalled if both underliers are above initial level upon annual observation) 25% p.a. (snowballing, client can receive up to 75% coupon over 3yrs...50% y2 if not called, 75% if matures) Annual observation, if both underliers are > initial level at annual observation Indicative levels only, subject to market movement.

Low on O6/24/13 24.19 V Used with permission of Bloomberg Finance LP -.2 al the Alternative Asset Managers; BX is top pick We initiate coverage of 5 alternative asset managers (the "Alit) with Buys on Blackstone (BX). Carlyle Group (CG), & Oaknee Capital (OAK) & Hold ratings on Apollo Global Mgmt (APO) & KKR & Co (KKR). Overall, these Alts are welipositioned amid favorable cyclical tailwinds & strong secular dynamics, while valuations remain attractive. We favor the more-diversified Alts possessing less earnings variability & good distributable earnings (DE) growth profiles for 2014- 2015; this dynamic favors BX & CG over APO & KKR for now, in ow view. & we see 4Q earnings as a positive catalyst upon a better DE outlook for next 1-2 years. We also like OAK's more-traditional asset manager business profile. Valuations still alliaclise as debate on s al Lan5 the Alts ownUwe, With volatile and less predictable earnings, the market has been reluctant to EFTA01187602 assign a comparable traditional asset manager PPE on the Alts' carried interest income stream, which accounted for over half of Alt's pretax income over the past 2 years. However, we see limitations in this legacy sum-of-parts valuation approach (valuing fee-earnings at much higher multiples than carried interest) primarily because of the longer-term reliability of carried interest convening into cash distributions for public unit holders. Thus. we prefer to value the Alts on longer-tear 'distributable earnings' (DE). which is a proxy for cash flow and the basis for cash distributions to unit holders. On this approach, we think these 5 Alt managers can trade at a median 12-13x P/E on our 2015 DE forecasts, a year from now, which implies about 2 points of multiple expansion and over 15% price appreciation, and about 22% total return inclusive of median 6-7% distribution yields at current price levels. Roth cyclical and SO:Illar themes are eery In the currant economic/capital markets cycle, the Alts are likely to increasingly benefit from realizing the value of their long-term investments (from sales via M&A, IPOs, etc.) and distributing more cash to unit holders over 2014-15. Thus, we sec a greater convergence of DE and the more volatile mark-tomarket- driven economic net income (EN1), as the realization cycle gains momentum in 2014. Asset organic growth rates should remain healthy as strong investment performance track records enable fundraising to outpace outflows from realized distribution to LPs. Key secular trends favoring Alts are I) rising allocations globally to alternative assets by institutions, and increasingly, individuals. 2) a major competitive advantage in ability to generate patient capital and invest long-term and influence investment outcomes. 3) a greater role for Alts in financing. creating more capital deployment opportunities globally, & 4) increasing concentration of asset flows to the largest Alts, which favors these 5 stocks.
