3 Meet Our Partners It soon became obvious to me that there had to be a better way and the independent fiduciary model was exactly that. I spent 15 years as a client of big Wall Street firms and never felt confident that there was a cohesive strategy or that my interests were being considered. After retiring from the semiconductor industry, I spent time helping friends and family members invest their money. It soon became obvious to me that there had to be a better way and the independent fiduciary model was exactly that. I decided to create a firm that strived to always put the client s best interest first with a fair and transparent fee structure, an evidence-based investment philosophy and a desire to educate. This evolved into Talis Advisors, where our team members put these ideals into practice every day and serve a rapidly-growing client base of affluent families. Talis Advisors now offers wealth management services that range from financial planning to risk management. We apply our fiduciary duty to each piece of the process ensuring that our clients financial futures have been designed with their needs and goals in mind. J. Brent Everett talisadvisors.com

4 The Talis Difference Everyone should have a why. My why begins with my family. Though I am blessed, three of the closest men in my life passed away in their 50s. I have felt the impact of all three situations. My father and one brother-in-law had a plan in place to protect my mother and my sister. There was no plan in place to protect my sister-in-law and the result was devastating. My passion in life is to help people. There are some things we can control. Preparing by using a welldesigned financial plan is one of those things.

6 We serve our clients, we don t sell products. Certified Financial Planner Certified Public Accountant The CFP certification provides confidence that your financial planner has completed rigorous education and experience requirements including continuing education coursework designed to ensure competence in financial planning. A CFP professional has an ethical obligation to act in your best interest when providing financial planning advice.

CPAs have ranked among the most valued and respected professionals for more than 125 years.

7 Values. Expertise. Results. Modern finance is based primarily on scientific reasoning guided by theory, not subjectivity and speculation. John Mac McQuown John Mac McQuown s is most famously known for creating one of the original S&P 500 index funds in the early 1970s. He has been recognized by Bloomberg magazine as the 80-year-old whiz kid for his work reinventing the corporate bond. Different is better The Talis team s extensive experience in a variety of wealth management areas enables us to custom design a plan to accomplish your goals. Our philosophy is driven by science and evidence, and we share the philosophies of the world s most respected financial economists and cognitive psychologists, including Nobel laureates in both fields. Despite Wall Street s multi-billion dollar effort to convince investors otherwise, its results have been disappointing. Our commitment to portfolio design based on strong empirical evidence and rigorous academic research is a superior approach that increases the probability of capturing a higher expected rate of return. Applying this research to real-world portfolios through a systematic and structured implementation that effectively captures factor premiums increases an investor s chance of success. This multi-factor approach, combined with broad diversification, produces a robust and reliable strategy. Ultimately, the largest determinant of success is investor behavior and the ability to remain committed to a proven strategy. We remain true to our core principles of a consultative approach, goals-based solutions and the development of personal relationships that allow us to educate clients and filter out the noise. By doing so, we help clients feel confident in their ability to navigate financial challenges. talisadvisors.com
