3 About Cornerstone Investment Partners Cornerstone Investment Partners is an independent asset manager headquartered in Atlanta, GA that specializes in managing equity investment strategies for both institutional and individual investors with approximately $2.7 billion in assets under advisement.* Cornerstone s investment team shares almost 125 years of investment analysis and portfolio management experience, which they bring to SCAP. Cornerstone delivers uncommon portfolio management team continuity. They have worked together adhering to the same investment philosophy, exercising the same approach to security selection and employing the same discipline throughout their careers together. At its core, Cornerstone focuses on buying high quality companies at attractive prices while exercising the patience necessary to unlock value. *As of 3/31/ Next slide: Investment Strategy Overview

4 Investment Strategy Overview SCAP is a diversified, small-cap equity strategy that seeks to provide total return through long-term capital appreciation and current income, using a rules-based approach that focuses on investing in companies with fundamental characteristics that are underappreciated by the market. The strategy is selective and disciplined, which follows Cornerstone s belief that the market can both often misprice fundamental improvements as well as be slow to recognize improving fundamentals, particularly among small cap equities. SCAP delivers an alpha-seeking strategy that aims to identify companies that are demonstrating fundamental improvement, have a history of achieving expected results and maintain robust balance sheets and cash flows. Through diversification, the strategy seeks to minimize individual, stock-specific risks but also avoid unattractive small cap offerings that can be problematic for index-based ETFs. SCAP became the first actively managed ETF to successfully convert its prior track record from another investment structure. While SCAP began trading as an actively managed ETF in July 2016, the strategy s actual performance history begins in Next slide: Investment Process Overview

5 Investment Process Overview Invests primarily in U.S. exchange-listed securities including common and preferred stock, ADRs, and publicly-traded REITs. Utilizes a disciplined process that begins with an investable universe constructed by Cornerstone s investment team of approximately 1,800 securities designed to mimic the market capitalization range of the largest 90% of the Russell 2000 index. Seeks to identify companies with favorable characteristics that include improving underlying fundamentals, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility. The portfolio is diversified, typically comprising the most compelling 240 small-cap equities within its investible universe. The portfolio is reconstituted each quarter, which ensures SCAP responds to changes in market conditions and targets the most attractive securities, while limiting annual turnover. 5 Next slide: Small Cap Historical Performance

10 Portfolio Reconstituting & Risk Management Every quarter 60 securities are replaced based on relative attractiveness New positions begin with a modified equal weighting Sectors are constrained at the index weight plus or minus 15% Existing positions capped at 5% Diversified portfolio of ~240 small-cap equities seeks to mitigate idiosyncratic risks associated with individual securities 10 Next slide: The Case for SCAP

11 The Case for SCAP Small-cap equities have demonstrated an established history of outperforming large-cap equities. Rules-based, alpha-seeking strategy seeks companies that are demonstrating improving fundamentals, strong execution, and a robust balance sheet and cash flows. Disciplined approach designed to avoid behavioral mistakes as the market can often misprice small-caps and be slow to recognize improving fundamentals. A selective, diversified portfolio that seeks to avoid unattractive offerings that can be problematic for index-based ETFs. 11 Next slide: How SCAP Fits Within a Portfolio

12 How SCAP Fits Within a Portfolio SCAP can serve as a core allocation of small-cap equities and as an alternative to an index-based small-cap allocation. SCAP provides a selective, diversified investment strategy that seeks to deliver alpha against its Russell 2000 Index benchmark. SCAP 12 Next slide: Strategy Summary

13 Strategy Summary - SCAP SCAP is a diversified, small-cap equity strategy that seeks to provide total return through long-term capital appreciation and current income. Seeks to amplify small-cap investment opportunities through a disciplined, rules-based approach designed to identify companies with favorable characteristics that include improving underlying fundamentals, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility. Selective, alpha-seeking strategy seeking attractive risk-adjusted returns relative to its core benchmark, designed to mitigate the risks associated with individual small-cap names, and avoids buying unattractive small-cap names that index-based ETFs cannot.
