Anfield Capital Management, LLC
“Unconstrained” What it isn’t…and why it really matters right now!
a long time ago….in a galaxy far far
away……All heck broke loose!
And a generation of excess came home to roost in the form of a nasty debt, asset subordination and systemic leverage unwind
It was clear things would take a long time to normalize
And that fixed income investment management needed to adapt…….

Fast Forward to the Need
The historic interest rate bull market is coming to an end
Fiduciaries need a solution, a tool, to manage the next 5 years
Hence the birth of “unconstrained” fixed income investing
So there is no need to exit debt markets altogether

Unconstrained ≠ unpredictable The Goal: unconstrained opportunity set, not unconstrained
risk
In reality there are multiple rulers which should be:
1) Prospectus flexibility = 102) Management philosophy = 7 3) Risk adjusted performance/positioning = Ideally an 8 or 9 with typically ½ the risk of other
funds

Overcoming the traditional allocation dilemma
A Versatile Role in A Portfolio
Multiple ways investors can make Anfield Universal Fixed Income Fund part of their overall strategy:
As a core bond complement, with a distinct risk/return profile and absolute return orientation
As an equity diversifier, potentially reducing overall volatility
As a defensive holding, with the ability to pursue positive returns in any environment as well as manage duration amid challenging market conditions
As a single fund alternative to an array of Satellite funds
How the fund fits into a broader portfolio is ultimately a reflection of your individual circumstances.

Implications
1. The Fed and other central banks are behind and will be forced to raise rates sooner than expected
2. Risk assets can and will rally further
3. If the interest rate environment is normalized in a deliberate step-wise manner it does not have to be disorderly / disruptive to the real economy or capital markets – but the broad bond market will still suffer re-pricing
4. There is still time to adopt a defensive fixed income posture…but time is running short

Core of Fixed Income Market ≠ Core of Fixed Income Allocation Remember - the CORE is the foundational part, NOT a reflection of
fixed income issuance patterns which are driven by many forces
We now have to address the other misconception: “the Core must be generally stable or stationary”
While this makes it easier to define and explain, it also results in our Core being exposed to interest rate, credit and other cycles
To avoid this, we have to continuously adjust our Core as the world unfolds

Benchmarking- 2 Epic Fallacies
1. Started out as a way to measure ex-post performance, then morphed into a way to categorize investment managers becoming the ex-ante paradigm Now ALM drives Required Return, which drives asset allocation, and allocation
drives manager selection because you have to fit into a box to get funded.
2. Desire to define manager risk via benchmark relative guidelines This is in complete contravention to the reality and logic:
Increased concentration of risk factors Reduced manager diversification (all have to operate the same zones) And if you believe the opportunity set is non-stationary, and forced buying
and selling at ranges (guidelines) reduces tail risk; then the only logical conclusion is that stationary rules in a non-stationary world must result in a lower, flatter distribution of returns skewed to the left – and therefore a lower mean return with higher risk over time – the exact anti-thesis of the goal.

The Result?
A construct of “beat the benchmark” not “make smart investments and earn good risk adjusted returns”
Limitations for managers: their latitude and tools to get out of the way of trouble and capitalize on opportunity have been removed
Concentrating risk factors Many guidelines are in % NAV space Assets, however, operate in risk factor space % NAV space ≠ % risk factor space

Simulated Backtest Disclosure
27
Diversified Liquid Alternatives simulated backtest results were derived from the retroactive application of a model and do not represent actual investment performance or trading. Returns have not been reduced by trading costs which would be charged if the adviser were actually managing client’s money. Returns have been reduced by an annual management fee of 1.25% applied on a quarterly basis. The backtested results have inherent limitations as the results are derived from the retroactive application of a model developed with the benefit of hindsight. Performance may not reflect the impact that certain material economic and market factors might have had on the decision-making process if Anfield Capital Management was actually managing client assets according to the model. The strategy could not have been implemented before Jan 2011as this was the first date that the majority of the securities in the portfolio were available. Beginning May 2014, Anfield Capital Management started managing actual client accounts according to the Diversified Liquid Alternatives strategy

Total Yield Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that seek to generate superior yields over cash investments by blending securities with different sources of premium yield advantage over traditional cash, and to preserve capital by minimizing the risk of loss. The strategy harvests meaningful yield spreads where they naturally occur and blends the primarily "spread duration risks" to achieve an optimum yield vs. liquidity and risk. It is best thought of as substitute to conventional narrow cash management strategies and investments. The portfolio may invest in all sectors of the fixed income market via primarily either ETFs or mutual funds. Prior to January 2012, the Total Yield Composite was called Capital Preservation Composite. Core Fixed Income Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that seek total return through a combination of income and price appreciation. The strategy invests in a wide range of fixed income and related securities spanning all maturities, sectors and credit ratings. Our portfolios have assets diversified among equity and equity related instruments, fixed income securities, and cash or cash equivalents.

This strategy may be appropriate for investors seeking intermediate growth of capital combined with partial insulation from the impact of inflation.

Real Wealth Accumulation Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that emphasize growth of capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of primarily equities. The portfolio’s overall risk is tempered by allocations to fixed income and inflation-linked securities. The target equity allocation of the strategy will vary over time but typically consists of 60% of portfolio assets. This strategy may be appropriate for investors seeking intermediate to long-term growth of capital combined with insulation from the impact of inflation. Aggressive Real Growth Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that seek maximum capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio heavily weighted to equities. The strategy’s overall risk is similar to the broad stock market. The portfolio also holds modest allocations of inflation-linked securities. The target equity allocation of the strategy will vary over time but typically consists of 80% of portfolio assets. This strategy may be appropriate for investors seeking long to very long term growth of capital. Diversified Equity Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that seek maximum capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio consisting primarily of equity securities. The target equity allocation of the strategy will vary over time but typically consists of 100% of portfolio assets.

The portfolio may invest in all domestic and international asset classes, including but not limited to equity, debt, commodities, all categories of alternatives, real estate, etc. The portfolio will look to invest in a diverse set of assets classes, typically ten different markets, sectors, and themes with a target of approximately 20 to 30 different positions, dependent on market conditions.
