Subject: FW: indication on WTI risk reversals [C] From: Andrew King ‹ > Date: Thu, 09 Jun 2016 15:04:21 -0400 To: Stewart Oldfield ‹ > Classification: Confidential FYI From: Vahe Stepanian Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2016 2:55 PM To: Andrew King Subject: RE: indication on WTI risk reversals [C] Classification: Confidential Andrew — not sure as we don't get this request too often. My initial thought is to wait and see if they have any feedback on your email first. Don't want to spin AFS or Global Markets wheels if there isn't anything actionable. Best, Vahe From: Andrew King Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2016 1:56 PM To: Vahe Stepanian Subject: FW: indication on WTI risk reversals [C] Classification: Confidential Vahe, EFTA01414900 Are we able to do TRS on a SMA strategy or basked of preferreds? If not, maybe we should look at a TRS on a preferred index or ETF? Open to other ideas you might have around getting leverage on preferreds.

We are also working on the preferred request you sent. We have a manager that runs SMAs of preferreds for our clients that can be levered in a margin account. I think it could make sense for you to pursue a more diversified and active strategy in that space given the unique characteristics of each issue. It's likely the most straightforward way to get exposure. We just need to sort out what the margin release will be. I don't see a good way for us to recommend specific preferred issues to you, but would happily look at leverage on a basket that you select. EFTA01414901 On the structured note front, I haven't seen preferreds put into a levered note structure. If you just want levered exposure, margin or swap will be the cleanest way to do that. If you are looking for yield and aren't wed to buying preferreds, the notes structures can be useful there. We will be back to you shortly.
