1 Alpha investing the quest for exceptional performance The focus on absolute returns, management expertise unleashed United Financial focuses on partnering with investment managers who add value beyond the indexes, and we take it a step further by offering a truly distinct alternative known as alpha investing. Alpha refers to returns greater than what the benchmark index provides. Our alpha mandates are concentrated portfolios of selected investment managers very best ideas. These mandates cover Canadian, U.S. and international equities, and have been crafted to maximize risk-adjusted performance. What are our alpha mandates? Concentrated portfolios Our alpha managers create concentrated portfolios of stocks of approximately 20 to 60 quality companies, selected for their attractive valuation and/or growth prospects. Characteristics unlike the index The managers ignore the benchmark index when they construct their portfolios. Sector exposure and other characteristics of the alpha mandates can be very different from the index, and because of this, the difference between the performance of the alpha mandates and the benchmark could be significant, both in the short and long term. Potential to enhance performance and reduce risk The appeal of alpha investing is its potential to enhance the performance of your portfolio. While the managers may take on different risk than the benchmark and their performance may vary significantly from the benchmark index, they will be reducing the absolute risk of their portfolios by buying a very select group of what they determine to be attractively valued companies with excellent upside potential. This means that the alpha mandates may be appropriate as part of, or as a replacement for, your core equity holdings.
2 United Canadian Equity Alpha Joe Jugovic on the Canadian alpha mandate: This is a unique portfolio offering medium risk with concentrated positions in Canadian companies that we have a lot of confidence in because of their strong management and their attractive valuations. We re buying high-quality businesses when they are on sale and offer us a good opportunity. Since its launch in September 2008, United Canadian Equity Alpha Corporate Class has proven its ability to add alpha, as shown in this chart, which compares the growth of invested in United Canadian Equity Alpha Corporate Class versus the benchmark.

QV Investors Inc. was selected for its ability to provide alpha over the long term.

Both mandates are separately managed accounts available only to high net worth and institutional investors. Performance does not include management fees or expenses.

3 United US Equity Alpha Danny Bubis describes the U.S. alpha mandate: Our alpha approach is to buy shares of companies that have very good upside potential versus downside risk. The more conviction we have in any individual company, the more we ll put of it in the portfolio. But we re also going to make sure the holdings are not all in one industry sector because we want to be relatively diversified. Mr. Bubis s U.S. equity mandate avoided the tech bubble of in a contrarian call that proved the value of his disciplined approach. In contrast to many investors, he decided to underweight technology stocks, relative to their representation in the benchmark S&P 500 Index. It was a move that meant his mandate underperformed the benchmark by 44% (13% versus 57%) during the tech run-up. But it paid off when the bubble burst in 2000: Over the following two years, his mandate outperformed the benchmark by 66 percentage points (54% versus -12%).

4 United International Equity Alpha David Picton and Michael Kuan describe the potential of the international alpha mandate: What makes this mandate different is its unconstrained stock selection. It s basically pure alpha, which we believe over time will result in higher performance. One of the most consistent ways to add value is by finding stocks with positive fundamental change stocks that are improving for the better, where the earnings growth rate is accelerating or where they re beating analysts and investors expectations. Our approach is to deliver alpha with a healthy dose of risk control, which includes having a number of sectors and countries represented at all times.
