In the event that the investment portfolio administration and follow-up program is approved by the Commission, operations with Derivatives may be resumed in the terms indicated by said program.

Article 124.- Investment Societies and, in their case, Mandatories may enter into Derivative operations with the following persons:

Financial Intermediaries authorized in the Derivatives Exchanges referred to in article 126 of these Provisions, or

Article 125.- Investment Societies may not carry out Derivative operations on individual Commodities. Without prejudice to the foregoing, Investment Societies may acquire exposure with Derivatives on Commodity indices using authorized mechanisms.

Article 129.- For Derivative operations carried out both in over-the-counter markets and in Derivatives Exchanges, the confirmation area must receive the confirmation from the Counterparty, review it against the Administrator's records, and in case of coincidence, the authorized persons must ratify it to the Counterparty. In case of non-coincidence, in order to maintain the independence of the process, the operation will be reviewed with the Counterparty's confirmation area and against the magnetic and electronic record of the operation.

It must be guaranteed that all arranged operations are captured and reflected in the accounting of the Investment Society.

Article 130.- The Derivative operations referred to in these Provisions may not have as an underlying asset any asset not provided for in the General Provisions establishing the investment regime to which Investment Societies must be subject or another Derivative, except for those assets or Derivatives authorized by the Bank of Mexico for such purposes.

Article 131.- Administrators operating Investment Societies that intend to enter into the Derivative operations provided for in Circular 6/2013 containing the "Rules to which Specialized Retirement Fund Investment Societies must be subject in the carrying out of derivative operations" issued by the Bank of Mexico in terms of article 48 fraction IX of the Law, must previously demonstrate to the Commission compliance with the requirements provided for in these Provisions.

The Commission, after the evaluation it carries out for such purposes and once it has accredited such compliance, will express its non-objection for the Derivative operations provided for in the General Provisions establishing the investment regime to which Investment Societies must be subject to be entered into.

The non-objection to carry out Derivative operations issued by the Commission will remain valid for a period of three years, and as long as the Administrator continues to comply, during the validity of the certification, with the requirements and procedures established in article 122, fraction III of these Provisions and regarding the logistics for operating with Derivatives provided for in article 16, fraction XIII of these Provisions.

In the event that the Commission detects in the exercise of its supervisory powers that the Administrator has ceased to comply with any of the cited requirements and procedures, it must notify it, so that the Administrator in question and, in its case, the Mandatories suspend all Derivative operations of their Investment Societies.

In the event that the suspension referred to in the previous paragraph is determined, the Investment Society and, in its case, the Mandatories may not enter into new Derivative operations, except for the operations necessary to rebalance the portfolio and with respect to operations previously entered into, must be subject to what is established in these Provisions regarding portfolio rebalancing for failing to comply with the limits established in the Investment Regime Authorized by acquisition or sale of Investment Assets, and for the violation of investment limits established for Investment Assets due to causes attributable to the Administrator, without understanding the suspension of Derivative operations as a violation of the Investment Regime.

Mandatories may operate with authorized Derivatives and authorized underlying assets as long as the Administrator that hires them has the non-objection of the Commission for the Investment Societies they administer to enter into operations with said Derivatives. For the evaluation carried out by the Commission for the purposes provided for in this paragraph, it must consider the reduction in the Administrator's operational risks when employing an eligible Mandatory.

ANNEX D

Currency Classification

Investment Societies may operate with any Currency authorized in this annex, whose

quotation markets are regulated and supervised by an authority belonging to an Eligible Country for

Investments, considering the common name used in financial markets; likewise, they may only

carry out the authorized operations of the Currencies of the Eligible Countries for Investments in accordance

with the following three groups:

Group I: It is composed of those Currencies authorized to settle permitted instruments, hedge

exposure to the Currency and take Pure Positions in Currencies. This group is composed of the following currencies:

Group II: It is composed of those Currencies authorized only to settle permitted instruments or

hedge the exposure to the Currency of the underlying, which are listed below.

The elements of this group of Currencies may be evaluated, individually, by the Committee of

Risk Analysis for the purpose that in the future they are considered within Group I or if applicable within

Group III.

Group III: It is composed of the Currencies authorized only to settle permitted instruments or hedge

exposure to the Currency, which are listed below.

In the future, some of these Currencies could be transferred to Group II, if the market development conditions

allow it, prior to opinion and approval of the Risk Analysis Committee.

In case there are different nomenclatures for the same Currency and one of them can be

classified in a Currency Group different from those provided for in this Annex, it will be classified within the

most conservative Group.

The modifications and additions that the Risk Analysis Committee determines to this, will be

published on the Commission's Internet page. It is the responsibility of the Administradoras to comply

with the criteria approved by the Risk Analysis Committee and to follow up on any

updates and publications that arise regarding the aforementioned modifications and additions.

ANNEX E

Methodology to calculate the Market Value of Currency positions

For the purpose of verifying compliance with the limit applicable to positions in Currencies established in

the General Provisions issued by the Commission, the following shall be considered:

Total Currency Exposure.

The Currency exposure of the Total Asset of the Investment Society, derived from the investment in the

Investment Object Assets, both by the Investment Society and its Mandataries, shall

be calculated considering the following criteria and formulas:

Independent positions are considered those of the Asset Managed by the Society

of Investment and those of the Asset Managed by each of the Mandataries. This implies that no

netting is performed of the positions of the Asset Managed by the Society of Investment with those of the

Asset

Managed by any Mandatary, nor are the positions of the Assets

Managed between Mandataries netted;

For Currency positions of the Asset Managed by the Society of Investment:

Long and short positions in the same Currency are netted;

ii.

Long and short positions between different Currencies are not netted, and

iii.

The net Currency position of the Asset Managed by the Society of

Investment is obtained by summing the net positions in each Currency.

The same mechanism as in subsection b) above is applied to the Currency positions of the Asset

Managed by each Mandatary individually, and

The net Currency position of the Asset Managed by the Society of Investment and those of the

Assets Managed by each of the Mandataries, obtained in accordance with subsections a), b)

and c) above, are summed to determine the Currency exposure of the Total Asset of the

Society of Investment.

The above is achieved by summing the absolute value of the Currency exposure of the Asset Managed by the

Society of Investment and the absolute values of the Currency exposures of the Asset Managed by each

Mandatary. Finally, the result of these sums is divided by the Total Asset of the Society of

Investment. The following formula shows algebraically the previous mechanism:

ANNEX G

Methodology to calculate the market value of operations that must be considered

within the

limits of Issuers or Counterparties

Total Exposure to an Authorized Issuer or Counterparty.

The exposure to an Authorized Issuer or Counterparty of the Total Asset of the Investment Society, derived

from the investment in the Investment Object Assets, both by the Investment Society and its

Mandataries, shall be calculated considering the following criteria and formulas.

The exposure to an Authorized Issuer or Counterparty of the Total Asset of the Investment Society as

a percentage of the Total Asset of the Investment Society must be less than or equal to the limits provided for in the

General Provisions that establish the investment regime to which the

Investment Societies must be subject.

For such purposes, the level of concentration at each Counterparty and Issuer that observes the

Total Asset of the Investment Society will be computed, for which the weighted average of the concentration

observed in the operations carried out with the Assets Managed by the Society of Investment and the

Assets Managed by each Mandatary will be used. Said average will be calculated using the Assets Managed by

the Society of Investment and those corresponding to each Mandatary.

II. Consumption of Issuer or Counterparty limit through the Asset Managed by the Society

Investment.

To calculate the market value of the concentration maintained by the Asset Managed by the

Society of Investment, in securities and operations of the same issuer or Counterparty, it must adhere to

the following:

For the purpose of verifying the concentration limits applicable to Counterparties or Issuers

established in the General Provisions issued by the Commission, the

compensated market values of operations with Derivatives carried out in over-the-counter markets

with each Counterparty, the market values of repo and Securities Lending operations,

celebrated with each Counterparty, net of the guarantees received for this purpose, the value of cash deposits

celebrated with each Counterparty, as well as the instruments issued by said Counterparty or issuer,

according to the following formula:

ANNEX H

Methodology to calculate the exposure of the Investment Society to Investment Object Assets denominated in Investment Units (UDI) or whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or

greater than the UDI or to the National Consumer Price Index

The following criteria will be applied for the purpose of verifying compliance with the limits referred to the

positions that Investment Societies must maintain in Investment Object Assets that are

denominated in Investment Units (UDI) or in those whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or

greater than the UDI or to the National Consumer Price Index.

The sum of the positions maintained by the Asset Managed by the Society

of Investment plus the positions maintained by the Asset Managed by each of the

Mandataries will be considered. The aforementioned positions will be considered independently, that is,

without performing netting between the positions maintained with the Asset Managed by

each Mandatary nor with the positions of the Asset Managed by the Society of Investment.

The computation will be carried out as follows:

For Derivative instruments known in practice as call, future, and forward, whose

underlying is denominated in UDIs or whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or

greater than the UDI or to the National Consumer Price Index, their market value will be added

when the position in the Derivative Instruments described above is long, and it will

be subtracted when it is short;

For the Derivative instrument known as put whose underlying is denominated in

UDIs or whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or greater than the UDI or to the National Consumer

Price Index, the market value will be added when the position is short and it will

be subtracted when the position is long;

For Derivative instruments known as swaps that have at least one

underlying that is denominated in UDIs or whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or

greater than the UDI or to the National Consumer Price Index, they will be computed according to

the following:

If in the operation one is in a long position with respect to a rate linked to a notional amount

denominated in Investment Units, with respect to instruments referenced

to Investment Units, or with respect to instruments referenced to the National

Consumer Price Index, its market value will be added, and

ii.

If in the operation one is in a short position with respect to a rate linked to a notional amount

denominated in Investment Units, with respect to instruments referenced

to Investment Units, or with respect to instruments referenced to the National

Consumer Price Index, its market value will be subtracted.

ANNEX I

Methodology to calculate exposure to Commodities

Exposure to Commodities must be calculated through the following authorized investment

instruments: Structures Linked to Underlyings, Vehicles, Debt Instruments backed by

Commodities, as well as Derivatives, through the procedure described in this Annex. Structured Instruments

linked to Commodities will not count for the purposes of this Annex.

For the purposes of this Annex, Structures Linked to Underlyings refer to Debt Instruments or Foreign Debt Securities whose returns are linked to Commodities. For the computation of

the exposure referred to in this Annex, the debt component of the

Structures Linked to Underlyings whose underlyings are Commodities will not be considered.

Exposure to Commodities through authorized investment mechanisms:

To determine the exposure to Commodities of the Asset Managed by the Society of Investment, and if applicable,

of the Asset Managed by the Mandataries that it has hired, the 'Deltas' of

all authorized investment mechanisms referred to Commodities directly or through the

Vehicles that contain them will be used.

The 'Delta' will be:

In the case of Vehicles that confer rights over Goods, Debt Instruments and Foreign Securities, as well as futures, forwards and swaps referred to said underlyings, equal to one, and

In the case of options contracts, they shall be calculated by the Price Provider contracted by the Investment Society. Such Delta shall be calculated per contract unit and assuming a long position.

The amount exposed to each Good "i" that forms part of the investment portfolio through the authorized investment mechanisms j, shall be calculated as follows:

For the case of the maximum investment limits provided for in these Provisions, the negotiation prices of the operations carried out with the asset or assets with which the investment regime is breached and the closing prices of said assets on the date of the breach will be used.

For the case of minimum limits, the shortfall will be calculated based on the difference, when it is positive, of the closing price minus the acquisition price, or in its case the valuation price of the previous day.

II.

The exchange rates of the currency operations carried out by the Investment Society, which in its case are associated with the transaction of the asset that breaches the Investment Regime and the Exchange Rate determined on the date the Investment Regime is breached.

ANNEX U

Methodology to calculate maximum investment limits for the set of Investment Societies operated by the same Administrator, in Structured Instruments.

The maximum amount to be invested by the set of Investment Societies eligible for investments in Structured Instruments must obey the following criteria:

Basic Investment Societies 1 may only invest in Structured Instruments that meet the following:

Are invested in, at least 80% of the maximum amount of the Structured Instrument issuance, and committed in at least 90% of the maximum amount of the Structured Instrument issuance,

ii.

Are transferred by means of the transfer of resources from the Individual Accounts of Workers by age in accordance with the General Provisions on matters of operations of Retirement Savings Systems.

Administrators must ensure that the amount invested by the set of Investment Societies they operate, at no time exceeds 50% of the value of a project financed through Structured Instruments intended to finance the same project, regardless of the administrator. The foregoing is not applicable for investment in a project financed through a single Structured Instrument, whose issuance value is lower than the Threshold defined in this annex.

When the co-investor and the Administrator have Property Links jointly, they may not exceed 35% of the value of each financed project.

The Threshold referred to in the Twenty-Fourth Provision, fraction IV of the General Provisions establishing the investment regime to which specialized retirement fund investment societies must be subject is equivalent to 4,078 million pesos, and will be updated once every calendar year in the same proportion as the increase in the value of investment units (UDIs). The previous value corresponds to December 31, 2016.

The Commission will periodically inform Administrators of the value of the Threshold, as well as the value of the Total Asset.

In the case of primary offerings of Structured Instruments and for the purpose of complying with the limits provided in this annex and in the General Provisions establishing the investment regime of specialized retirement fund investment societies, Administrators must request in writing from the administrator of said instruments and leave evidence thereof, that they commit to diversifying the investor base so that Investment Societies do not fail to comply with the limits referred to in this paragraph.

Administrators must inform the administrator of the absolute amount and the range to be invested, the latter as a percentage of the total notional value of the Structured Instrument in question, which must be recorded in the Detailed Minutes of the corresponding session. For these purposes, the policy must provide for adjustments that the administrator may apply for the purposes of: i) compliance with the limits provided in these Provisions and ii) defining the allocation of amounts of Structured Instruments that may vary with respect to the bids of Administrators as long as they are based on policies provided in the issuance prospectus, among which may be pro-rata adjustments.

For the purposes of this Annex, it will be understood that the administrators of Structured Instruments are different when:

They are distinct legal entities;

ii.

They have distinct administration teams, that is, when the strategy, execution of investments, and administration of each Structured Instrument depend on teams formed by distinct natural persons, with areas of knowledge and experience directed specifically to the administration of the projects financed by the corresponding Structured Instrument, and

iii.

They have distinct investment theses developed for each Structured Instrument, which are oriented towards distinct economic areas or activities.
