15 Risk Management We take several steps to lower the risk of our portfolios Monitor volatility (i.e. standard deviation) of individual stocks Diversification punishes volatile stocks and combines stocks to build a less volatile portfolio Focus on fundamentally superior stocks relative to market benchmarks International diversification with exposure to all major emerging markets Specific band variance versus the benchmark for each country Country weighting system designed for risk mitigation Stringent sell discipline: sell stocks with deteriorating quantitative or fundamental criteria 15

16 Sell Discipline Sell if a stock drops out of the top tier of reward/risk ratio rankings Sell if a stock deteriorates in Navellier s multi-factor fundamental model Sell or trim stocks after quarterly, country reward/risk rebalancing Sell or trim if a stock has excess risk Sell good stocks to buy better stocks 16

27 Summary Navellier s dynamic, disciplined, quantitative approach is designed to build portfolios that significantly outperform the market over the long-term, while maintaining style consistency. Emerging Market Portfolio uses reward/risk to overweight strong countries and underweight weaker countries. No end point sensitivity Implementation of the investment process has resulted in long-term outperformance and superior risk adjusted relative returns. Investment process takes the emotion out of buying and selling stocks. 27

28 Financial Terms Definitions Alpha: Risk adjusted return using beta as the risk measure. The higher the alpha the better as it describes the level of risk adjusted performance in excess of the benchmark (i.e., S&P 500, NASDAQ Composite, etc.). Beta: Measure of systematic risk, or the sensitivity of a manager or stock to movements in the benchmark. Beta attempts to measure the movement of an asset relative to the broad market. A beta of 1 implies that you can expect the movement of a stock or portfolio to match that of the benchmark used to measure beta. In other words, if a stock or portfolio had a beta of 1.10, it can be said that the asset has historically moved higher and lower than the market by 10%. Similarly, if an asset had a beta of 0.80 then it has historically moved 20% less than the market both up and down. Down Capture: A statistical measure of an portfolio s overall performance in down markets. The down market capture ratio is used to evaluate how well or poorly a portfolio performed relative to an index during periods when that index has ropped. R Squared: A measurement of how closely a portfolio's performance correlates with the performance of a benchmark index. Sharpe Ratio: A risk adjusted measure developed by William F. Sharpe, calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the portfolio s historical risk adjusted performance. Sortino Ratio: Differentiates between good and bad volatility in the Sharpe ratio. This differentiation of upwards and downwards volatility allows the calculation to provide a risk adjusted measure of a security or fund's performance without penalizing it for upward price changes. Standard Deviation: Measure the volatility of returns for an investment versus its average return for a given period of time. 28

This presentation is for informational purposes only and is not intended as an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of a security. This presentation does not constitute an offer of securities. Any decision to purchase securities mentioned in this research must take into account existing public information on such security or any registered prospectus. As a matter of normal and important disclosures to you, as a potential investor, please consider the following: The performances presented in the accompanying Reward/Risk Ratio Analysis and Fundamental Factor charts and graphs are not based on any actual securities trading, portfolio, or accounts, and should be considered mere "paper" or proforma performance results based on Navellier s research. The model portfolios, charts and other information presented do not represent actual funded trades and are not actual funded portfolios. There are material differences between Navellier Investment Products' portfolios and the model portfolios, research, and performance figures presented here. The model portfolios and the research results (1) may contain stocks that are illiquid and difficult to trade; (2) may contain stock holdings materially different from actual funded Navellier Investment Product portfolios; (3) do not include trading costs, commissions, or management fees; and, (4) may not reflect prices obtained in an actual funded Navellier Investment Product portfolio. In most cases, Navellier's Investment Products have materially lower performance results than the performances of the model portfolios presented. As a matter of important disclosure regarding the Reward/Risk Ratio Analysis and Fundamental Factor charts and graphs, the following factors must be considered when evaluating the performance figures presented: 1. Historical or illustrated results presented herein do not indicate future performance; Investment in securities involves significant risk and has the potential for partial or complete loss of funds invested. 2. The results presented were generated during a period of generally improving economic conditions in the U.S. and positive market performance.

Navellier has no data regarding actual performance in different economic or market cycles or conditions. 3. The results portrayed reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. 4. The results portrayed do not include any investment advisory fees, administrative fees, or transaction expenses, or other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid. 5. LIMITATIONS INHERENT IN MODEL RESULTS: The performance results presented are from a model portfolio, not an actually funded portfolio, and may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on the adviser s decision making if the adviser were actually managing clients money, and thus present returns which are greater than what a potential investor would have experienced for the time period. The results are presented for informational purposes only. No real money has been invested in this model portfolio. The model performance results should be considered mere 'paper' or pro forma performance results. The model results do not represent actual funded trades and may not reflect actual prices paid or received for actual funded trades. 6. The model results may or may not relate, or only partially relate, to the type of advisory services currently offered by Navellier & Associates, Inc. 7. In most cases, the adviser s clients had investment results materially lower than the results portrayed in the model.

30 1. Compliance Statement Navellier & Associates, Inc. claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with GIPS standards. Navellier & Associates, Inc. has been independently verified for the periods January 1, 1995 through September 30, 2013 by Ashland Partners & Company LLP. A copy of the verification report is available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm wide basis and (2) the firm s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation. 2. Definition of Firm Navellier & Associates, Inc. is a registered investment adviser established in Navellier & Associates, Inc. manages a variety of equity assets for primarily U.S. and Canadian institutional and retail clients. The firm s list of composite descriptions as well as information regarding the firm s policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request. 3. Composite Description The Navellier Emerging Markets Wrap Composite includes all discretionary Emerging Markets equity accounts that are charged a wrap fee and are managed with similar objectives for a full month, including those accounts no longer with the firm. The strategy is designed for aggressive investors and to take advantage of the global emerging market economies while achieving long term capital appreciation and seeks to achieve the highest possible returns while controlling risk. The strategy invests in emerging markets through the use of sponsored and unsponsored foreign listed securities and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) without market capitalization restrictions. At any given time, the strategy may hold up to 100% in ADRs. Typically, the strategy invests in approximately stocks that pass Navellier's stringent quantitative and fundamental criteria. Due to the risk in investing in emerging markets, there could be at times high turnover and volatility. The strategy invests in smaller capitalization stocks that may trade fewer shares than larger capitalization stocks; the liquidity risk among these types of stocks may increase the strategy s risk. From inception to April 2013, there is one nonmanagement fee paying account included in the composite; from April 2013 to present, there are two non management fee paying accounts included in the composite. Performance is calculated on a timeweighted and asset weighted basis. Performance figures that are net of fees take into account advisory fees and any brokerage fees or commissions that have been deducted from the account. Pure gross of fees returns do not reflect the deduction of any trading costs, fees, or expenses, and are presented only as supplemental information. Performance results are total returns and include the reinvestment of all income, including dividends. Returns are generally presented net of foreign withholding taxes; however, returns for some accounts are presented gross of foreign taxes depending on the treatment by their custodian. The composite was created June 29, Valuations and returns are computed and stated in U.S. Dollars. 4. Management Fees The management fee schedule for accounts is generally 45 to 90 basis points; however, some incentive fee, fixed fee, and fulcrum fee accounts may be included. Fees are negotiable, and not all accounts included in the composite are charged the same rate. Bundled fee accounts make up 100% of the composite for all periods shown. Wrap fee schedules are provided by independent wrap sponsors and are available upon request from the respective wrap sponsor. Wrap fees generally range from 100 to 200 basis points and include custody, trading expenses, and other expenses associated with the management of the account. The client is referred to the firm's Form ADV Part 2A for a full disclosure of the fee schedule. 5. Composite Dispersion If applicable, the dispersion of annual returns is measured by the standard deviation across asset weighted portfolio returns represented within the composite for the full year. 6. Benchmark The primary benchmark for the composite is the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. As of June 2014, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index consisted of the following 21 emerging market country indices: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey. MSCI Emerging Markets targets 85% of the free float adjusted market capitalization. The returns for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index include the reinvestment of any dividends. The asset mix of emerging markets equity accounts may not be precisely comparable to the presented indices. Presentation of index data does not reflect a belief by the Firm that the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, or any other index, constitutes an investment alternative to any investment strategy presented in these materials or is necessarily comparable to such strategies. 7. General Disclosure The three year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36 month period. The standard deviation is not presented for 2006 through 2008 because 36 months of history were not available. Actual results may differ from composite results depending upon the size of the account, custodian related costs, the inception date of the account and other factors. Performance results presented herein do not necessarily indicate future performance. Investment in equity strategies involves substantial risk and has the potential for partial or complete loss of funds invested.
