Geographic exposure to banks (% of total MMF assets): Europe: 24.2% (decreasing) Eurozone: 8.2% (decreasing) Japan: 11.8% (increasing) Largest exposures to individual banks (% of total MMF assets): Credit Suisse: 4.0% National Australia Bank: 3.7% Bank of America: 3.4% Total exposure to Treasurys and Agencies (direct holdings and through repos): 32.2%. Eurozone Drop Resumes: U.S. prime money market fund (MMF) exposures to eurozone banks fell by 33% since the prior reporting period and, as of end-june 2012, represent roughly 8% of total MMF assets in Fitch s sample, a record low during Fitch s period of study starting in end-2006. (See Eurozone Decline Resumes chart below.) Since end-may 2011, allocations to eurozone banks have dropped by almost 80% on a dollar basis. (See Change in Exposure [on a Dollar Basis] table.) This deepening disengagement stems both from ongoing MMF risk aversion to this sector as well as heightened caution by both some European banks and their regulators on the use of this potentially volatile form of funding. Aggregate MMF allocations to European banks outside of the eurozone declined moderately, with decreasing exposure to UK banks partially offset by increased allocations to Nordic banks. Outside of Europe, MMF exposures to Japanese banks continued to rise, with relative stability in MMF holdings of Canadian and Australian banks.

MMF Risk Aversion Persists: Declining MMF allocations to eurozone banks are at least partly a reflection of ongoing investor concern about the region. Of MMF allocations to European banks, more than onethird is secured in the form of repos. (See the Repos Continue to Rise chart.) It is important to note that the quality of repo collateral can vary, as illustrated in Fitch s report, Repo Emerges from the Shadow, dated February 2012. In another ongoing sign of risk aversion, holdings of short-term U.S. Treasurys and agencies continue to exceed 20% of MMF assets. (See the Treasurys and Agencies (Including Repo) Reflect Ongoing Risk Aversion chart.) Additionally, almost 10% of MMF assets are in the form of repos collateralized by Treasurys and Agencies, meaning in effect that roughly one-third of prime MMF assets represent Treasury and Agency exposure, versus 20% as of end-may 2011. These sizable allocations to Treasurys and Agencies are particularly noteworthy in the current low-yield environment. For context, the median expense ratio for the 10 prime MMFs in Fitch s sample exceeds the median yield on their Treasury and Agency exposures.

Fitch s sample represents 44% of the Investment Company Institute s estimate of approximately $1.39 trillion in total U.S. prime MMF assets under management. This study focuses on aggregate MMF exposure to banks CDs, CP, asset-backed CP, repos, and other shortterm notes and deposits. Largest Bank Exposures: The 15 largest exposures to individual banks, as a group, comprise approximately 43% of total MMF assets. (See the Largest MMF Exposures Financial Institutions table on page 2.) Deutsche Bank remains the only eurozone institution within the top 15, contrasted with three eurozone institutions in the top 15 at end-may 2012 and seven institutions at end-may 2011. Collectively, Australian, Canadian, and Japanese banks represent a majority of the top 15 names. There is considerable variety in the form of MMF exposure to these top 15 institutions. MMF exposures to banks that serve as primary dealers are often largely in the form of repos (e.g, Bank of America, Credit Suisse), with exposures to some other banks predominated by certificates of deposit (e.g, Bank of Nova Scotia, National Australia Bank, and Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi). Reliance on MMF Funding: The Bank Reliance on MMF Funding table illustrates bank reliance on MMFs, expressed as the ratio of MMF exposure to a given institution (based on Fitch s sample of the 10 largest MMFs) as a percentage of that institution s total deposits, money market, and short-term funding. Of the top 15 MMF exposures to global banks, MMF funding accounts for at least 3% of short-term liabilities for five institutions.

Background on Fitch Study This research study is intended to provide market participants with information on MMF exposures to European banks, and does not comment specifically on Fitch-rated MMFs. At present, the report does not have any rating implications. For the most recent observation period (i.e. June 30, 2012), the MMFs in Fitch s sample represent roughly $614 billion, or 44%, of the Investment Company Institute s estimate of approximately $1.39 trillion in total U.S. prime MMF assets under management. The sample set is based on public filings from the 10 largest prime institutional and retail MMFs as of each observation period. To identify the 10 largest funds that make up Fitch s sample, Fitch uses rankings of fund assets under management sourced from Crane Data LLC. Fitch sources all of the underlying fund exposure data directly from MMF public disclosures, not through a third party data source. In some cases, the MMFs sampled differ slightly from period to period. Because this analysis is based on aggregated data for the 10 MMFs sampled, it does not capture potential differences in exposure profiles across individual funds. MMF exposure to banks encompasses the following instrument types: CDs, CP, asset-backed CP, repos, and other notes (e.g. time deposits). Bank exposure data for foreign branches is consolidated within the banking group s home jurisdiction. Exposures to foreign subsidiaries are generally categorized based on the country classification designated by Fitch s financial institutions group. Bank exposure data includes state-controlled financial institutions, where applicable. To maintain data integrity, Fitch periodically reviews raw exposure-level holdings data and, if warranted, may reclassify specific exposures (e.g. by asset type, industry sector, counterparty, or country). Reclassification and/or revisions to the dataset can result in (generally minor) changes to the historical time series of MMF exposures. The period of observation covers nine distinct semiannual periods, month-end for February 2011, and month-end for May 2011 through June 2012. Note that prior to 2011, financial reporting dates often varied across MMFs. Therefore, Fitch has applied a degree of judgment in categorizing individual MMF filings into the appropriate semiannual bucket within its historical time series. 3 July 26, 2012

ALL FITCH CREDIT RATINGS ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS. PLEASE READ THESE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS BY FOLLOWING THIS LINK: HTTP://FITCHRATINGS.COM/UNDERSTANDINGCREDITRATINGS. IN ADDITION, RATING DEFINITIONS AND THE TERMS OF USE OF SUCH RATINGS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE AGENCY S PUBLIC WEB SITE AT WWW.FITCHRATINGS.COM. PUBLISHED RATINGS, CRITERIA, AND METHODOLOGIES ARE AVAILABLE FROM THIS SITE AT ALL TIMES. FITCH S CODE OF CONDUCT, CONFIDENTIALITY, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, AFFILIATE FIREWALL, COMPLIANCE, AND OTHER RELEVANT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FROM THE CODE OF CONDUCT SECTION OF THIS SITE. Copyright 2012 by Fitch, Inc., Fitch Ratings Ltd. and its subsidiaries. One State Street Plaza, NY, NY 10004.Telephone: 1-800-753-4824, (212) 908-0500. Fax: (212) 480-4435. Reproduction or retransmission in whole or in part is prohibited except by permission. All rights reserved. In issuing and maintaining its ratings, Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch s factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third-party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch s ratings should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts. As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating was issued or affirmed. The information in this report is provided as is without any representation or warranty of any kind. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion is based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identified in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at anytime for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction. Due to the relative efficiency of electronic publishing and distribution, Fitch research may be available to electronic subscribers up to three days earlier than to print subscribers. 6 July 26, 2012
