Investment Objective
The objective of this Core Balanced approach is to provide over the life of the Strategy and over every three-year period an investment return superior to that of an appropriate Balanced Index, typically weighted 60% S&P 500 Index, 30% Barclays Capital Intermediate Treasury Index, and 10% U.S. Treasury bills.

Investment Philosophy
The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), which questions the ability of active equity management to outperform the market indexes on a consistent basis, is largely valid; however, there are three exploitable anomalies within the EMH:

Combining the three sets of buy/sell disciplines exploiting these anomalies produces consistently superior investment returns from the portfolio’s equity component. A fixed income component further stabilizes the pattern of these returns.

Investment Process
The Growth & Value 20 Balanced Strategy is a combination of Nottinghill’s Growth & Value 20 Equity Strategy and a passively managed fixed income component. The latter at all times consists of several Treasury notes with staggered maturities between two and 10 years. The Growth & Value 20 equity sector typically consists of 20 stocks in three independently managed groups:

The five-stock Momentum Group is selected from the entire S&P 500 on the basis of superior corporate and stock-price performance. Group stocks are held only as long as they remain superior performers. The 10 Yield Group stocks are selected from the 75-candidate Nottinghill LARGCAP Universe on the basis of high dividend yield; each Group stock then is sold only when its yield is no longer competitive. Finally, the five-stock Contrarian Group also is selected from the LARGCAP Universe, in this case on the basis of multi-year underperformance. The Group then is held for a multi-year period of recovery. During certain periods of above-average stock market risk, which are determined objectively, intermediate-term Treasuries are held instead of the growth-oriented Momentum Group. Equities, therefore, constitute 75- 100% of the portfolio’s equity sector, and utilizing multiple Growth and Value disciplines to select those equities results in a more consistent pattern of superior investment returns. The portfolio’s fixed income (Treasury) sector further stabilizes the pattern of returns, and provides a good measure of sanctuary in times of stress.

2. The Growth & Value 20 Balanced performance composite (Composite A: all non-wrap fee accounts and those with a fixed annual broker charge less than 0.25% of assets) officially was created on January 1, 2002; however, the composite as currently defined has an effective date of compliance with the AIMR-PPS™ of April 1, 1999.

3. No segments of other portfolio composites and no accounts with a fixed annual broker charge are included in the Growth & Value 20 Balanced composite.

4. The most appropriate benchmark for the Growth & Value 20 Balanced strategy is the Balanced Index, an unmanaged, 60%/30%/10% blend of S&P 500 Index, Barclays Capital Intermediate Treasury Index, and 90- day Treasury bill returns. Index performance includes price change and income, however, the Index has no expenses. The Balanced Index has been the benchmark since inception.

5. Investment results have been calculated net-of-the management fee, which was deducted from the results achieved by every account in the composite. The annual fee schedule associated with the equity sector is 1.0% of the first $1 million, 0.75% of the next $14 million, 0.65% of the next $35 million, and 0.50% of the next $50 million. The fee schedule associated with the fixed income sector is 0.25% of assets.

6. Investment results calculated net-of-the management fee are appropriate for presentation or redistribution in all settings, but must be accompanied by this disclosure language.

7. All performance calculations are based upon trade-date accounting, and, except where otherwise noted, are associated with time periods ending December 31.

8. Performance is expressed in U.S. Dollars.

9. Annual composite dispersion is the asset-weighted standard deviation of gross investment returns.

10. Exchange-Traded Fund shares may be utilized in this strategy from time to time. No other derivatives and no leverage are employed.

11. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
