4 Why do investors go passive in U.S. Large Cap? The Problem Percentage of U.S. Large Cap Core Managers Outperforming S&P 500 1, U.S. large cap core managers have lagged the S&P 500 historically Since the GFC (i.e. the last 8 years), U.S. large cap core managers, on average, have underperformed every calendar year Mutual Funds: 36% Institutional Managers: 44% For illustrative purposes only. 1 Institutional manager data subtracts 50bps in fees from managers reported returns in evestment. Mutual fund data is net of fees. 2 The ea U.S. Large Cap Core Equity Universe is compiled by evestment Alliance based on the product characteristics submitted by the participating investment managers (each manager is counted as an observation). The 25 largest Managers are those with the highest AUM as of 12/31/2015.

5 Why the Dynamic U.S. Equity Strategy? Uncorrelated source of excess returns diversifies traditional approaches A Secondary Problem U.S. large cap core managers typically outperform their respective benchmarks when small cap outperforms large cap (i.e. the managers buy small cap stocks outside the benchmark) Traditional Approaches: Highly Correlated to Large Cap Small Cap Spread September 1989 March ,2 Large Small is defined as the monthly return difference between the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000 Correlation of Gross Excess Returns (Rolling 3 Years) Dynamic U.S. Equity Composite v. ea US Large Cap Core Equity Universe September 1989 March ,2 Dynamic U.S. Equity has no factor or sector bias Dynamic U.S. Equity has virtually zero correlation to U.S. large cap core managers For illustrative purposes only.
