Global Franchise Strategy

A concentrated high quality global portfolio of companies with sustainable high ROIC from dominant “intangible assets” such as brands

…companies with shareholder-friendly managementswho will allocate capital to help protect the franchises

… purchased at the right priceOur cash flow-driven valuation means we are less likely to overpay for stocks

…a strategy that is managed by a disciplined, stable and experienced investment team with the AUM and relationships that help ensure access to company management

Key Highlights

Source:Morgan Stanley Investment Management. There is no guarantee that the strategy will achieve its benchmark. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Key benefit of our robust bottom up, research based process has beenstrong historic long-term returns, and a measure of downside protection relative to the index / benchmark

How We Find Compounders

Definitions: ROIC= EBIT / PPE + trade working capital. Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital spending, working capital growth, interest and taxes

Intangible assets – portfolio of strong brands, copyrights, licenses or networks Dominant market shares helping to protect against new entrants Stable sales – often through repeat business driving recurring revenues Geographic spread Steady organic growth

2. Make Sure Returns can be Sustained

High and unlevered returns on invested capital (ROIC) High gross margins (pricing power) Capital-light business models driving free cash flow (FCF) generation Balance sheet strength

1. Find High Return Companies

Committed to innovation and investment in brands Focus on returns on capital rather than sales or EPS growth Capital discipline (reinvest FCF at a sustainably high ROIC or return the

excess capital to shareholders) Wary of “strategic” acquisitions and incentives unaligned with shareholders

3. Check Management Looking to Sustain

Returns

Nestlé’s Economic Performance Looks Boring…

Organic Growth

Data as of December 31, 2011. Source: From 1989 to 2010 RBS / from 2011 onwards Nestle Annual Report. Data shown is for a 22 year period from 1989 to 2011. This example is provided for illustrative purposes only. This should not be construed as a recommendation, but as an illustration of a broader theme. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Within an investment portfolio, this security would be one of many holdings and is not representative of how all holdings in a portfolio would have, or will, perform. The portfolio did not hold this security during the entire time period reflected above and may have bought and sold the security (at a gain or loss) at various points thorough this period. There is no guarantee securities will perform well and compound shareholder returns over time.

Nestle economics have been very stable over the last two decades

Organic sales growth generally 4 – 7%. No year saw a fall in organic sales

Slow but steady rise in trading margin from 11% to 15% and minimal volatility in face of economic cycles and input price spikes

Importantly, steady progress has been at sustained high ROIC

How We Avoid Paying Too Much

Source:MSIM / Internal firm reports as o January 29th,, 2013. Forecasts / estimates are based on current market conditions, subject to change, and may not necessarily come to pass

Two routes to permanent loss of capital:1) Permanent disappearance

of free cash flows2) Permanent disappearance

of multiples

We try to avoid both forms of permanent loss

Focus on free cash flow rather than earnings Free cash flow pays for dividends and buy-backs Non-cash earnings often a danger signal

Reluctant to pay too high a multiple of free-cash flow Share prices over 20 times free cash-flow assume fast growth Disappointments on future growth can permanently hit share prices

Portfolio currently priced at 16 times 2014 Free Cash Flow or 6.2% FCF yield vs. 2.0% for U.S. government bonds

We Worry About Permanent Loss of Capital

Franchise vulnerable to disruption New or better mousetrap Patent or license expiry Dependence on single brand or product Lack of recurring revenues Top-line demand macro sensitive

Regulatory risk Governments attacking monopoly positions Very profitable companies a natural target

Management risk Insufficient innovation / A&P (1) spend Poor pricing policies Failing to focus investment on high ROIC areas ‘Strategic’ M&A / EPS targets at expense of ROIC Management remuneration

Overpaying

Risks We Worry About

Tracking error Missing out on latest investment trend Short term macro noise

Risks We don’t

Pharmaceuticals – More Investible Today

Some companies are also diversifying into longer duration franchises: consumer health (strong brands), animal health and vaccines (where manufacturing complexity is a barrier to entry)

Growth contribution from Emerging Markets to Global Pharma Market expected to be >70%

Stock selection remains critical: Sanofi passes through the trough of “patent cliff” this year, and has a leading position in emerging markets, a diversified mix of consumer health, animal health and vaccines, and excellent diabetes franchise with market leading Lantus

Pharma is high ROIC, high gross margin, low capital intensity, low leverage – but patent expiry raises questions about sustainability of returns…the key reason we haven’t invested in the sector to date

Much anticipated industry “patent cliff” (2010 – 2014) has seen the sector derate from 30x PE in late 90s to recent lows of 10x. Through the patent cliff we see another 10 – 12 year window of renewed visibility with an opportunity for strong revenues, profits, cash flows and dividends. We expect pharma companies to rerate

High Quality Valuations Not Stretched Relative to History

S&P 500 High vs. Low Quality Indices

Source:S&P, Bloomberg

(1) Data at December 31, 2012. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

S&P awards all equities a quality rating based around sustainability and robustness of earnings and balance sheets

High and low quality indices for top and bottom quality tranches of S&P 500 were established in 2010 dating back to 1997

High quality rerated in 2000-2 and 2008-9, but in general the last decade has seen a relative derating of quality. Current relative rating of high quality to low quality is close to 2000 and 2008 lows

Compounding Has Helped Protect the Portfolio Despite High Quality Stocks Derating

Morgan Stanley Global Franchise Composite Relative Performance vs. Quality Rerating (3-Year Annualised)

Morgan Stanley Global Franchise Composite has outperformed MSCI World strongly at times where quality rerated (2002-3, 2008-9)

Morgan Stanley Global Franchise Composite also managed to beat the index (by a smaller margin) in the face of a major derating of quality in 2004-8

We believe the portfolio looks well positioned given current lowly relative rating of high quality stocks

Outlook

Households, Governments and Financial Sector all continue to de-leverage in the developed world

Fiscal drag may ease slightly in Europe but could increase in the U.S. potentially offsetting housing recovery

Consensus expects Euro zone and Japan to emerge from recession and growth to accelerate in U.S. but overall activity remains well below trend

Beware growing imbalances in some Emerging Markets

Euro-zone tail risk reduced for time being. Merkel wants no drama before German elections in September but another crisis is always lurking just around the corner

Strategy

We will continue to seek companies demonstrating exceptional quality and compelling value – strong business franchises built on dominant and durable intangible assets which possess pricing power and low capital intensity

This involves investing in well-run companies that have capitalized on their intangible assets to compound shareholder wealth at an attractive rate over the long-term

The portfolio’s asymmetric profile means it is likely to underperform sharply rising markets and provide a measure of downside protection relative to the benchmark / index in weaker markets

There is no guarantee that the strategy will achieve its objectives.

The Investment Philosophy and Process Remains Unchanged

Morgan Stanley Investment Management “MSIM” claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS® standards. MSIM has been independently verified for the periods January 1, 1994 through December 31, 2009. The verification reports are available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and presentperformance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation.MSIM is the asset management business of Morgan Stanley. Assets are managed by teams representing different MSIM legal entities; portfolio management teams are primarily located in New York, Philadelphia, London, Amsterdam, Singapore and Mumbai offices. The firm is defined as all assets managed by MSIM, excluding those associated with the Alternative Investments and Merchant Banking Divisions.

Prior to January 1, 2002, the firm was defined as an investment management firm consisting of investment advisory operations within various legal entities. As of January 1, 2002, the firm definition was expanded to include all investment advisory operations within MSIM excluding affiliated and unaffiliated wrap fee programs. From January 1, 2007 to May 31, 2010, the firm definition included affiliated and unaffiliated wrap fee programs. Returns for the period prior to January 1, 1994 were not calculated in accordance to GIPS because not all fee paying, fully discretionary accounts were included in composites prior to January 1 1994.

The Global Franchise Composite was created on July 28, 2000 and its inception date is March 31, 1996. The composite includes all segregated portfolios managed on a fully discretionary basis according to the Global Franchise strategy. With the exception of forward exchange contracts, no derivatives are included in the composite. The strategy seeks capital appreciation by constructing a concentrated portfolio of high quality franchise stocks, characterized by dominant intangible assets, high returns on invested capital and strong free cash flow generation. As of June 2009, William Lock and Peter Wright were named co-lead managers of the strategy. Prior to that, Hassan Elmasry was the lead manager.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. The composite results shown are GROSS and NET of investment advisory / management fees. Returns are computed and based in US$ and are inclusive of currency fluctuations. The dispersion of annual returns is measured by the standard deviation of asset-weighted portfolio returns included in the composite for the full year. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.

The MSCI World Index is used as a benchmark. The benchmark is calculated with net dividends reinvested and is used for comparative purposes only.

Gross performance is net of all transaction costs, and net performance is net of transaction costs and investment management / advisory fees. The firm’s standard fee schedule is as follows: 0.80% per annum on first US$25 million of assets; 0.75% per annum on next US$25 million of assets; 0.70% per annum on next US$50 million of assets; 0.65% per annum on assets in excess of US$100 million
