capital for this period

Non-Reliance on Historic

Returns

Past performance does not guarantee future performance investment in the fund should be based upon

a complete assessment of their terms

Limitations of Simulated

Returns

Certain presentations and back-testing or other statistical analysis materials that may have been

provided in connection with explanations of the mechanics andor potential returns of the Notes use pro

forma analysis and hypothetical circumstances to estimate how the Reference Portfolio may have

performed prior to its actual existence Harvest provides no assurance or guarantee that the Notes will

operate or would have operated in the past in a manner consistent with those materials As such any

historical returns projected in such material or any hypothetical simulations based on this analysis

provided in relation to the fund may not reflect the performance of and are no guarantee or assurance

in respect of the performance or returns of the fund

Non-Linear Returns Absent the occurrence of a Knock Out the return on the Notes will be based on the performance of the

Reference Portfolio over time As such it is not possible to predict the return on the fund simply by

reference to the initial and final values of the Reference Portfolio The application of the Fundrsquos

Mechanics may result in an opportunity cost when the return on the fund is compared to either a direct

investment in the Reference Portfolio or as the underline assets principal protected investment where

the exposure to the Reference Portfolio is achieved through a conventional call option issued by the

product providers

of the fund a rapid decline in interest rates a Clean Up Event may occur Under both such

circumstances the return on the fund will cease to offer any potential capital gain as a function of the

future performance of the Underlying Fund and will effectively become that of the remaining asset

classes

Credit Risk The value of the fund may decline dramatically based on market conditions Investors understand that

there are risks involved and capital may decline due to market conditions and valuations Past

performance is not guaranteed for future returns

THE IMPORTANCE OF ASSET CLASSES

The

Fund

The most popular traditional asset classes are cash bonds equities real estate

futures forex and energy hedge funds Harvest Stargate Fund Ltd combines these

asset classes with the exception of cash in order to create the next generation of

multi asset Global Macro investments

The different asset classes will perform their best at different stages of a normal

investment cycle When building a portfolio it is therefore essential that it should not

only be spread between different asset classes but should also make an allocation to

the asset class that is likely to provide the best return in the following year Whilst

equities may be rising bonds or property could be falling and when equities fall

hedge funds could perform well

The Stargate Fund is an aggressive market neutral fund with a return objective of 10-

15 annually with a standard deviation of approximately 4-7 It allocates capital

among managers who have stated investment objective of returns in excess of 15

per annum It is expected that the fund will have higher than average volatility but

through diversification of strategies can mitigate drawdowns during bear market

environments In positive market periods the fund should produce returns above

market benchmarks

bull The First and core strategy seeks to buy undervalued equities either on an individual or sector basis and hold them for capital appreciation and income for the medium term The Fund will engage models prior in investing in speculative investments and simulate possible return vs risk prior of entering in such transactions

bull The strategy also seeks to identify major changes of direction in key markets through independent analysis of relevant macro-economic factors trend developments and investor sentiment Harvest seeks to vary overall market exposure accordingly either through further allocationsreductions to existing holdings or investmentdivestments in market heavy weights The strategy does not aim at a particular geographical exposure but rather is driven by a sector approach Historically Europe and US have provided the main holdings for the strategy but Israel and Russia are currently in focus

World LNG Production May Double by 2016

LNG hub in Cyprus seems most likely

Cyprus seems to be gaining popularity as a potential hub for a future LNG facility that would help pump natural

gas upstream from the Israeli and adjacent Cypriot offshore fields and use the island to transport the product to

customers Two reports have cited the current geopolitical climate in the Middle East and North Africa as

reinforcing the case for Israeli gas while looking at Cyprus as an alternative solution to lengthy and politically

sensitive pipelines in other countries Recent natural gas discoveries halfway between Cyprus and Israel at the

Tamar and Leviathan fields estimates gas reserves at 25 tr cubic feet (705 bln cum) enough to meet domestic

demand for several decades and enough to transform Israel into an energy exporter the Middle East Economic

Survey

are Rony Halman and Uri Aldubi the general partners of Israel Opportunity The Norwegian shareholders are the owners of

AGR Group Inc which is jointly bidding with Cyprus Opportunity for two of the offshore exploration licenses that the Cypriot

government is offering - Block 2 and Block 8

bull The two companies submitted their bids on May 11 as part of the 2nd Licensing Round tender for 12 offshore licenses

Cyprus Opportunity acquired 2D seismic data on which it has already performed preliminary analysis as part of its business

strategy The Cypriot government is due to publish the results of the tender in November Cyprus Opportunity says that even if

it does not win in the tender it will continue to operate in the Cypriot offshore oil and gas exploration business through joint

ventures with third parties

bull Israel Opportunity owns 5-10 of the five of the deep-water Pelagic licenses - Aditya Ishai Lela Yahav and Yoad - covering

INDUSTRY FOCUS ndash REGIONAL EFFECTS

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

More meaningful results of geological tests on oil are expected in late 2013

THE IMPORTANCE OF ASSET CLASSES

The

Fund

The most popular traditional asset classes are cash bonds equities real estate

futures forex and energy hedge funds Harvest Stargate Fund Ltd combines these

asset classes with the exception of cash in order to create the next generation of

multi asset Global Macro investments

The different asset classes will perform their best at different stages of a normal

investment cycle When building a portfolio it is therefore essential that it should not

only be spread between different asset classes but should also make an allocation to

the asset class that is likely to provide the best return in the following year Whilst

equities may be rising bonds or property could be falling and when equities fall

hedge funds could perform well

The Stargate Fund is an aggressive market neutral fund with a return objective of 10-

15 annually with a standard deviation of approximately 4-7 It allocates capital

among managers who have stated investment objective of returns in excess of 15

per annum It is expected that the fund will have higher than average volatility but

through diversification of strategies can mitigate drawdowns during bear market

environments In positive market periods the fund should produce returns above

market benchmarks

bull The strategy also seeks to identify major changes of direction in key markets through independent analysis of relevant macro-economic factors trend developments and investor sentiment Harvest seeks to vary overall market exposure accordingly either through further allocationsreductions to existing holdings or investmentdivestments in market heavy weights The strategy does not aim at a particular geographical exposure but rather is driven by a sector approach Historically Europe and US have provided the main holdings for the strategy but Israel and Russia are currently in focus

World LNG Production May Double by 2016

LNG hub in Cyprus seems most likely

Cyprus seems to be gaining popularity as a potential hub for a future LNG facility that would help pump natural

gas upstream from the Israeli and adjacent Cypriot offshore fields and use the island to transport the product to

customers Two reports have cited the current geopolitical climate in the Middle East and North Africa as

reinforcing the case for Israeli gas while looking at Cyprus as an alternative solution to lengthy and politically

sensitive pipelines in other countries Recent natural gas discoveries halfway between Cyprus and Israel at the

Tamar and Leviathan fields estimates gas reserves at 25 tr cubic feet (705 bln cum) enough to meet domestic

demand for several decades and enough to transform Israel into an energy exporter the Middle East Economic

INDUSTRY FOCUS ndash REGIONAL EFFECTS

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

More meaningful results of geological tests on oil are expected in late 2013

reinforcing the case for Israeli gas while looking at Cyprus as an alternative solution to lengthy and politically

sensitive pipelines in other countries Recent natural gas discoveries halfway between Cyprus and Israel at the

INDUSTRY FOCUS ndash REGIONAL EFFECTS

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

More meaningful results of geological tests on oil are expected in late 2013

THE IMPORTANCE OF ASSET CLASSES

The

Fund

The most popular traditional asset classes are cash bonds equities real estate

futures forex and energy hedge funds Harvest Stargate Fund Ltd combines these

asset classes with the exception of cash in order to create the next generation of

multi asset Global Macro investments

The different asset classes will perform their best at different stages of a normal

investment cycle When building a portfolio it is therefore essential that it should not

only be spread between different asset classes but should also make an allocation to

the asset class that is likely to provide the best return in the following year Whilst

equities may be rising bonds or property could be falling and when equities fall

hedge funds could perform well

The Stargate Fund is an aggressive market neutral fund with a return objective of 10-

15 annually with a standard deviation of approximately 4-7 It allocates capital

among managers who have stated investment objective of returns in excess of 15

per annum It is expected that the fund will have higher than average volatility but

through diversification of strategies can mitigate drawdowns during bear market

environments In positive market periods the fund should produce returns above

market benchmarks

THE IMPORTANCE OF ASSET CLASSES

The

Fund

The most popular traditional asset classes are cash bonds equities real estate

futures forex and energy hedge funds Harvest Stargate Fund Ltd combines these

asset classes with the exception of cash in order to create the next generation of

multi asset Global Macro investments

The different asset classes will perform their best at different stages of a normal

investment cycle When building a portfolio it is therefore essential that it should not

only be spread between different asset classes but should also make an allocation to

the asset class that is likely to provide the best return in the following year Whilst

equities may be rising bonds or property could be falling and when equities fall

hedge funds could perform well

The Stargate Fund is an aggressive market neutral fund with a return objective of 10-

15 annually with a standard deviation of approximately 4-7 It allocates capital

among managers who have stated investment objective of returns in excess of 15

per annum It is expected that the fund will have higher than average volatility but

through diversification of strategies can mitigate drawdowns during bear market

environments In positive market periods the fund should produce returns above

market benchmarks

bull The First and core strategy seeks to buy undervalued equities either on an individual or sector basis and hold them for capital appreciation and income for the medium term The Fund will engage models prior in investing in speculative investments and simulate possible return vs risk prior of entering in such transactions

bull The strategy also seeks to identify major changes of direction in key markets through independent analysis of relevant macro-economic factors trend developments and investor sentiment Harvest seeks to vary overall market exposure accordingly either through further allocationsreductions to existing holdings or investmentdivestments in market heavy weights The strategy does not aim at a particular geographical exposure but rather is driven by a sector approach Historically Europe and US have provided the main holdings for the strategy but Israel and Russia are currently in focus

World LNG Production May Double by 2016

LNG hub in Cyprus seems most likely

Cyprus seems to be gaining popularity as a potential hub for a future LNG facility that would help pump natural

gas upstream from the Israeli and adjacent Cypriot offshore fields and use the island to transport the product to

customers Two reports have cited the current geopolitical climate in the Middle East and North Africa as

reinforcing the case for Israeli gas while looking at Cyprus as an alternative solution to lengthy and politically

sensitive pipelines in other countries Recent natural gas discoveries halfway between Cyprus and Israel at the

Tamar and Leviathan fields estimates gas reserves at 25 tr cubic feet (705 bln cum) enough to meet domestic

demand for several decades and enough to transform Israel into an energy exporter the Middle East Economic

THE IMPORTANCE OF ASSET CLASSES

The

Fund

The most popular traditional asset classes are cash bonds equities real estate

futures forex and energy hedge funds Harvest Stargate Fund Ltd combines these

asset classes with the exception of cash in order to create the next generation of

multi asset Global Macro investments

The different asset classes will perform their best at different stages of a normal

investment cycle When building a portfolio it is therefore essential that it should not

only be spread between different asset classes but should also make an allocation to

the asset class that is likely to provide the best return in the following year Whilst

equities may be rising bonds or property could be falling and when equities fall

hedge funds could perform well

The Stargate Fund is an aggressive market neutral fund with a return objective of 10-

15 annually with a standard deviation of approximately 4-7 It allocates capital

among managers who have stated investment objective of returns in excess of 15

per annum It is expected that the fund will have higher than average volatility but

through diversification of strategies can mitigate drawdowns during bear market

environments In positive market periods the fund should produce returns above

market benchmarks

bull The First and core strategy seeks to buy undervalued equities either on an individual or sector basis and hold them for capital appreciation and income for the medium term The Fund will engage models prior in investing in speculative investments and simulate possible return vs risk prior of entering in such transactions

bull The strategy also seeks to identify major changes of direction in key markets through independent analysis of relevant macro-economic factors trend developments and investor sentiment Harvest seeks to vary overall market exposure accordingly either through further allocationsreductions to existing holdings or investmentdivestments in market heavy weights The strategy does not aim at a particular geographical exposure but rather is driven by a sector approach Historically Europe and US have provided the main holdings for the strategy but Israel and Russia are currently in focus

World LNG Production May Double by 2016

LNG hub in Cyprus seems most likely

Cyprus seems to be gaining popularity as a potential hub for a future LNG facility that would help pump natural

gas upstream from the Israeli and adjacent Cypriot offshore fields and use the island to transport the product to

customers Two reports have cited the current geopolitical climate in the Middle East and North Africa as

reinforcing the case for Israeli gas while looking at Cyprus as an alternative solution to lengthy and politically

sensitive pipelines in other countries Recent natural gas discoveries halfway between Cyprus and Israel at the

Tamar and Leviathan fields estimates gas reserves at 25 tr cubic feet (705 bln cum) enough to meet domestic

demand for several decades and enough to transform Israel into an energy exporter the Middle East Economic

Survey

INDUSTRY FOCUS ndash REGIONAL EFFECTS

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

More meaningful results of geological tests on oil are expected in late 2013

LNG hub in Cyprus seems most likely

Cyprus seems to be gaining popularity as a potential hub for a future LNG facility that would help pump natural

gas upstream from the Israeli and adjacent Cypriot offshore fields and use the island to transport the product to

customers Two reports have cited the current geopolitical climate in the Middle East and North Africa as

reinforcing the case for Israeli gas while looking at Cyprus as an alternative solution to lengthy and politically

sensitive pipelines in other countries Recent natural gas discoveries halfway between Cyprus and Israel at the

INDUSTRY FOCUS ndash REGIONAL EFFECTS

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

More meaningful results of geological tests on oil are expected in late 2013

THE IMPORTANCE OF ASSET CLASSES

The

Fund

The most popular traditional asset classes are cash bonds equities real estate

futures forex and energy hedge funds Harvest Stargate Fund Ltd combines these

asset classes with the exception of cash in order to create the next generation of

multi asset Global Macro investments

The different asset classes will perform their best at different stages of a normal

investment cycle When building a portfolio it is therefore essential that it should not

only be spread between different asset classes but should also make an allocation to

the asset class that is likely to provide the best return in the following year Whilst

equities may be rising bonds or property could be falling and when equities fall

hedge funds could perform well

The Stargate Fund is an aggressive market neutral fund with a return objective of 10-

15 annually with a standard deviation of approximately 4-7 It allocates capital

among managers who have stated investment objective of returns in excess of 15

per annum It is expected that the fund will have higher than average volatility but

through diversification of strategies can mitigate drawdowns during bear market

environments In positive market periods the fund should produce returns above

market benchmarks

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

World LNG Production May Double by 2016

LNG hub in Cyprus seems most likely

Cyprus seems to be gaining popularity as a potential hub for a future LNG facility that would help pump natural

gas upstream from the Israeli and adjacent Cypriot offshore fields and use the island to transport the product to

customers Two reports have cited the current geopolitical climate in the Middle East and North Africa as

reinforcing the case for Israeli gas while looking at Cyprus as an alternative solution to lengthy and politically

sensitive pipelines in other countries Recent natural gas discoveries halfway between Cyprus and Israel at the

Tamar and Leviathan fields estimates gas reserves at 25 tr cubic feet (705 bln cum) enough to meet domestic

demand for several decades and enough to transform Israel into an energy exporter the Middle East Economic

Survey

bull Primary Strategy FOCUS ON ENERGY-NATURAL GAS AND OIL (60 ASSET ALLOCATION)

bull The First and core strategy seeks to buy undervalued equities either on an individual or sector basis and hold them for capital appreciation and income for the medium term The Fund will engage models prior in investing in speculative investments and simulate possible return vs risk prior of entering in such transactions

bull The strategy also seeks to identify major changes of direction in key markets through independent analysis of relevant macro-economic factors trend developments and investor sentiment Harvest seeks to vary overall market exposure accordingly either through further allocationsreductions to existing holdings or investmentdivestments in market heavy weights The strategy does not aim at a particular geographical exposure but rather is driven by a sector approach Historically Europe and US have provided the main holdings for the strategy but Israel and Russia are currently in focus

World LNG Production May Double by 2016

LNG hub in Cyprus seems most likely

Cyprus seems to be gaining popularity as a potential hub for a future LNG facility that would help pump natural

gas upstream from the Israeli and adjacent Cypriot offshore fields and use the island to transport the product to

customers Two reports have cited the current geopolitical climate in the Middle East and North Africa as

reinforcing the case for Israeli gas while looking at Cyprus as an alternative solution to lengthy and politically

sensitive pipelines in other countries Recent natural gas discoveries halfway between Cyprus and Israel at the

Tamar and Leviathan fields estimates gas reserves at 25 tr cubic feet (705 bln cum) enough to meet domestic

demand for several decades and enough to transform Israel into an energy exporter the Middle East Economic

Survey

ldquoWith the increasing financial burdens clouding Europes future it is crucial to ascertain how we can explore new opportunities to gauge how the new discoveries will help pave the way out of an economic crisis and lead to forming new business alliances shape difficult strategic relations and of course determine how new energy will bring about a wealth of positive change in old watersrdquo

INDUSTRY FOCUS ndash REGIONAL EFFECTS

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

More meaningful results of geological tests on oil are expected in late 2013

INDUSTRY FOCUS ndash REGIONAL EFFECTS

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

More meaningful results of geological tests on oil are expected in late 2013

INDUSTRY FOCUS ndash REGIONAL EFFECTS

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

More meaningful results of geological tests on oil are expected in late 2013

World LNG Production May Double by 2016

LNG hub in Cyprus seems most likely

Cyprus seems to be gaining popularity as a potential hub for a future LNG facility that would help pump natural

gas upstream from the Israeli and adjacent Cypriot offshore fields and use the island to transport the product to

customers Two reports have cited the current geopolitical climate in the Middle East and North Africa as

reinforcing the case for Israeli gas while looking at Cyprus as an alternative solution to lengthy and politically

sensitive pipelines in other countries Recent natural gas discoveries halfway between Cyprus and Israel at the

Tamar and Leviathan fields estimates gas reserves at 25 tr cubic feet (705 bln cum) enough to meet domestic

demand for several decades and enough to transform Israel into an energy exporter the Middle East Economic

INDUSTRY FOCUS ndash REGIONAL EFFECTS

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

More meaningful results of geological tests on oil are expected in late 2013

INDUSTRY FOCUS ndash REGIONAL EFFECTS

bull Shekel appreciation and ldquoDutch diseaserdquo to be mitigated through a SWF

With Israelrsquos current account surplus likely to get even bigger in the future concerns have been

raised about ldquoDutch diseaserdquo ie a large appreciation of the shekel damaging the competitiveness

of Israelrsquos non-energy exports While further shekel appreciation appears very likely we think the

extent of appreciation can be reduced through the establishment and careful management of a

SWF that would help to sterilize a large part of the natural gas-related FX inflows

bull The real game-changer could be oil

Geological tests suggest a possibility that in addition to natural gas Israel might also find sizeable

quantities of offshore oil While the lsquoprobability of successrsquo is currently considered to be low our

calculations suggest that in the event of success oil could potentially deliver a boost to GDP

growth the budget and the external balance that might potentially be even bigger than the impact

from natural gas This would also imply a larger appreciation potential for the shekel and an even

greater requirement to manage the resulting macroeconomic challenges through a carefully

managed sovereign wealth fund

More meaningful results of geological tests on oil are expected in late 2013
