4 GMO: This is Who We Are A long history of value, patience, and conviction The 1970s: Nifty Fifty Bubble Bellbottoms were popular. So were large cap stocks. Small caps are the first of many GMO big bets. The 1990s: TMT Bubble The Internet was going to change the world. It did. Internet stocks were going to rise forever. They did not. We observed that small cap value, REITs, and Emerging Markets stocks were much less popular, and much cheaper : GMO Founded The 1980s: Japan Bubble The land under Japan s emperor s palace was said to be worth more than all the real estate in California. Japanese stocks were similarly expensive and made up 60% of EAFE. To avoid these overvaluations, we had to look very different. The 2000s: Risk Bubble This time it was going to be different. The first truly global bubble sent prices of risky assets to record highs. GMO found value in the highest quality, least risky stocks. FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.

These forecasts are forward-looking statements based upon the reasonable beliefs of GMO and are not a guarantee of future performance. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and GMO assumes no duty to and does not undertake to update forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. U.S. inflation is assumed to mean revert to long-term inflation of 2.2% over 15 years.

7 Getting the Big Picture Right Can Be Enormously Powerful Emerging Int l Small 11.0% spread, compounded for 10 years US Value 8.7% spread, compounded for 7 years US Large 12.7% spread, compounded for 7 years Int l Large By Region (10 years ending 2011) US Growth By Style (7 years ending 2006) By Market Cap (7 years ending 2005) Source: GMO Date: The examples above highlight instances where one group of securities was considerably cheaper than the other based on GMO s asset class forecasts and the cheaper group subsequently outperformed. For example, in 2001, GMO s forecasts indicated that Emerging Markets equities were cheaper than US Large Cap equities; Emerging Markets equities outperformed US Large Caps by 11% annually over the next 10 years. In 1999, GMO s forecasts indicated that US Value equities were cheaper than US Growth equities; US Value equities outperformed US Growth equities by 12.7% annually over the next 7 years. And in 1998, GMO s forecasts indicated that International Small Cap equities were cheaper than International Large Cap equities; International Small Cap equities outperformed International Large Cap equities by 8.7% annually over the next 7 years. As these examples highlight, in each of these instances, buying the cheaper group, with no additional stock selection, generated a significant return differential.

8 Mean Reversion Drives Everything The realized performance of our forecasts since June Median Real Return Over Next 7 Years (%) to -8-8 to -6-6 to -4-4 to -2-2 to 0 0 to 2 As of 12/31/14 Source: GMO Analysis uses 7-year GMO asset class forecasts for 16 equity asset classes from June-1994 until Dec-2006 (start date is September-1996 for REITS and July-2004 for U.S. Quality and U.S. Junk). GMO began making 7-year asset class forecasts in 2002 and previously made 10-year asset class forecasts. 10-year asset class forecasts are converted into 7-year forecasts by assuming 3 years of equilibrium returns at the end of the 7-year period. These forecasts are forward-looking statements based upon the reasonable beliefs of GMO and are not a guarantee of future performance. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and GMO assumes no duty to and does not undertake to update forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. Returns and forecasts are annualized. 2 to 4 Real Return Forecast (%) 4 to 6 6 to 8 8 to to to 14 Source: GMO As of 8/31/14 FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.

14 GMO s Approach To Fundamental Analysis Sound familiar? One true advantage: the long horizon Industry: short-horizon and benchmark-relative analysis GMO: what the company is worth in the long-term, not just what it will earn next quarter Overpaying is the greatest risk Industry: themes, trends, and benchmark weight GMO: whether the company is trading for less than it s worth Career risk governs the short run Industry: don t be different, don t get fired GMO: focus on process, be willing to take career risk, and own only best ideas FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.
