I do not think we have enough equity ri=k in the portfolio right now. While we feel very good about our
mortgages =nd credit exposure, the upside in credit feels limited. Therefore I would like to selectively add some equity
exposure with names =hat have underperformed the broader market yet maintain some buffers to pr=tect us on the
downside.
We recently added Merck to our focus li=t. I think we should consider a Market Plus Note on MRK (Overweight
with a=$52 price target)
18 month
Greater of the upside or a 3% coup=n so long as we don't finish below 80% at expiry.</=>
Would consider $1MM<=span>
Background:
Merck is the 2nd largest pha=maceutical company globally with a broad portfolio of market-leading medic=nes
and vaccines. International revenues represent 62% of total, while the U.S. represents - 38%. Highest selling products
include= Singulair (asthma/allergies) and Januvia (diabetes)<=p>
• Pullback presents opportunity i= a favored sector (the cheapest defensive sector)<=>
- MRK is down -14% over last 4 month= vs. PFE at up 7% and S&P at up 4%

— Delay in filing of odanacatib, MRK=92s phase III osteoporosis drug and investor concern about upcoming
trial =ata have hurt sentiment. We believe this pullback is overdone and at current levels potential downside from
upcoming trial info=mation appears limited.
• Upcoming pipeline data points e=pected in 2H13 and 2014 provide catalysts and higher EPS growth
potential =han peers
— MRK has a solid pipeline beyond od=nacatib (suvorexant - insomnia, anacetrapib - cholesterol, PD-1-
oncology,=BACE - Alzheimers) as well as healthy core product portfolio (Januvia -diabetes and vaccines).
- JPMS LLC expects strong EPS gro=th of - 8% through 2020
• Valuation attractive both versus peers and historical averages; high dividend should support the stock
- MRK trades at 11.2x F13EPS vs. 12.=x five-yr avg, PFE at 12.0x and at a 20% discount to larger cap pharma
pee=s, despite higher growth potential
— 4.2% div yield, which we view as s=stainable given 7.8% FCF yld
