Danish government-guaranteed bank issues Because of the crisis in the financial sector many banks had to apply for a government-guarantee to raise cash in the capital markets Purchase of Danish government-guaranteed bank issues • And sale of e. g. short-term Danish government bonds with similar maturities • I. e. no interest-rate risk or credit risk associated with debt issued by the Danish government • Yield pick-up of 80 basis points • De facto we have hedged the interest-rate risk through the use of interest-rate swaps (credit risk associated with Denmark) • The risk is one of liquidity shortages and spread widening in a stressed market • In terms of risk, bonds are treated as a combination of AAA rated covered bonds and government bonds 6 6

Swedish bostäder I The figure shows the yield pickup on a 4 -year AAA rated Swedish mortgage bond (Stadshypotek) The bond is trading at a relatively high premium in a historical perspective The red dots indicate how much the yield spread may rise on a 3, 6 and 12 -month horizon before leading to a negative return on the investment The investment has been hedged. Thus the return will be inde-pendent of the underlying trend in interest rates Turbulence in the SEK money market has been the driver of the recent spread widening Strategy: Purchase of bostad bonds funded through repo trades. Hedging of interest-rate risk through a matching interest-rate swap Strategy Buy/Sell Buy 7 Bond SM 1576 (4½-årig) Fixed leg YTM, bond YTM, swap 3. 86 -3. 16 Floating leg 3 M REPO 3 M Stibor -1. 90 2. 02 Total yield 0. 82 7

Swedish bostäder II The figure shows the ASW structure for Swedish bostäder Bonds with shorter maturities are more expensive (lower risk premium) than bonds with longer maturities However, this trend is reversed around a maturity of 5 -6 years 10 -year bostäder appear relatively expensive compared to 5 -year bonds Primarily because of the lack of issuance of 10 -year maturities and heavy issuance of 5 year maturities In our opinion investors are not sufficiently compensated for the (spread) risk in the 10 year segment Strategi: Buy 5 -year bonds and sell 10 -years (on an ASW basis) in a spread risk neutral ratio (2: 1) Risk: The price of 10 -year bonds will exceed that of 5 -year bonds on an ASW basis 8 8

Outright: Long-term EUR forward rates are considered overbought Source: Danske Analytics and Danske Capital. Historical performance is not indicative of future performance The figure shows the development in the level of 20 -year rates in 20 years in Euroland since 2004. Long-term EUR forward rates appear overbought. The reason for this is the risk aversion caused by the South European sovereign debt crisis and fears of recession which have prompted/led to a demand for long-term swap rates by European pension funds. 9 9

Relative Value (RV): 10 s 30 s steepening 4 y forward Strategy: Pay 30 s and receive 10 s with a 4 -year forward start. Beta-neutral ratio no has positive roll-down/carry Risk: The curve (10 s 30 s) is flattening further because of increased risk aversion 10 underlying interest-rate risk. Strategy 10

Danish long dated bonds (30 year) rich compared to Germany 11 11

Danish medium term bonds (6 year) rich compared to Germany on a relative basis (vs. swapcurve) 12 12

On the USD curve 5 -year looks cheap compared to 2 -year. We believe the curve is to steep and position for a flatter curve 13 13

2011 forecast, strategies and returns • Short-term Danish non-callable mortgage bonds • Perhaps hedged through the use of government bonds • Swedish bostäder where the interest-rate risk has been hedged through the use of interest-rate swaps (attractive spread curve on a 5 -year horizon looks attractive) • New positions in short-term European AAA-rated mortgage bonds (< 3 years) • Relative value strategies • Higher yields • Steeper curves • Country spreads • As basic return is provided on the basis of our current holding of Danish governmentguaranteed bank issues and EUR covered bonds 14 14
