3 [ Thesis] Risk Approach Ideas Equities Fund Investments Summary The Team THE THESIS Role of risk management We believe an investment strategy that is measured, diversified, opportunistic and concentrates on daily risk management, holds the key to building long term wealth. Dual perspective Endeavoring to provide broad access to selective global investments, our analytical approach operates on two levels: We focus on top-down, macro-economic indicators, as well as undertake a rigorous bottom-up analysis of company-by-company fundamentals 3
4 Thesis [ Risk ] Approach Ideas Equities Fund Investments Summary The Team ASSESSING AND MANAGING RISK We believe in the importance of measuring the level of portfolio risk relative to the risk budget we have assigned for a specific strategy. This process allows Fuchs Schulman Wealth Management Group to pursue capital growth and/or income over long term trends while preserving during significant market pullbacks. 4
5 Thesis [ Risk ] Approach Ideas Equities Fund Investments Summary The Team MANAGING RISK Measured Each FSG Strategy strives to stay within its target risk budget This is designed to keep each strategy in line with its respective goal, while managing portfolio volatility as market conditions change Diversified Diversification has the ability to decrease risk while potentially increasing return By investing in low-correlated investments we strive to minimize total portfolio risk Flexible To pursue its measured risk targets. each FSG Strategy retains a flexible mandate The mandate includes: The ability to raise cash Differ substantially from designated benchmarks Employ option strategies Investing in funds that are directionally short the equity and/or fixed income markets when warranted Diversification does not guarantee profit or protect against loss in declining markets. 5

7 Thesis Risk [ Approach ] Ideas Equities Fund Investments Summary The Team GLOBAL ASSET ALLOCATION: THE BIG PICTURE Top down analysis for macro-allocation and position weightings First, we construct our allocation by viewing potential global opportunities Then, we develop targets for weighting equity and fixed income positions We categorize our weightings by: Country Market capitalization Sectors Bottom up analysis for individual security selection We conduct in-depth analysis on a position level basis We generate individual security ideas through Proprietary quantitative screens Sell-side presentations Analyst and industry reports Technical analysis research Top down macro-economic considerations Central bank policies International trade balances Consumer spending Interest rate trends Unemployment Bottom up fundamental considerations Company cash flow Sector research Product strength Management abilities Other technical indicators: Price/Earnings ; Price/Book, etc. 7

Dynamic Management Asset allocation These ideas are the keystone to our portfolio allocation. 2. Tactical Allocation Seeks to takes advantage of short- to medium-term deviations from strategic ideas and long- term trends. Market Factors Risk Levels Dislocations of Value Macro Environment 3. Dynamic Management Our ability to manage and monitor individual positions on a daily basis Allocation changes Investment selection opportunities Hedging to seek to reduce risk when warranted Asset allocation cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. 8
9 Thesis Risk Approach [ Ideas] Equities Fund Investments Summary The Team THE RESEARCH PROCESS: IDEA GENERATION Our investment team is accomplished with respect to investment experience while also bringing a diversity of backgrounds and industry experience We are in constant contact with investment banks, mutual funds, economists and strategists, public/private companies, and regularly attend industry conferences The extensive network and due diligence necessary to effectively run our business provides fertile ground for idea generation Global economic trends Our team conducts extensive due diligence with global economic data to uncover trends and opportunities Quarterly analysis of global economics, asset classes, correlations, valuations, money supply, interest rates, inflation and sovereign stability Quantitative screening We maintain access to quantitative screening tools and extensive financial databases Proprietary quantitative screens are performed with the goal of identifying high-quality companies that show financial strength and maintain reasonable equity valuations Fund selection screening We utilize third party research companies for screening the mutual fund & ETF universe and generating a watch list for new positions to consider 9
10 Thesis Risk Approach [ Ideas] Equities Fund Investments Summary The Team RIGOROUS FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH We conduct fundamental analysis to: Assess the strength of our individual securities Monitor existing positions Provide extensive opportunities for idea generation We analyze a company s entire value chain and assess its competition Investigating the reasons behind margin pressure or subtle decline in market share for a potentially attractive investment opportunity At the opposite end of the spectrum, a company s increasing success could open the door to potential investment ideas: Both within and outside of the direct supply chain From peripheral beneficiaries from both within and outside of the company s industry Company-specific research and monitoring also incorporates macro-economic insights in overall portfolio positioning with respect to asset allocation 10
11 Thesis Risk Approach Ideas [Equities] Funds Summary The Team SELECTING EQUITIES From Individual Equity Analysis and Idea Generation; through Sub-Portfolio and Strategy-Level Analyses, our process is both bottom-up and opportunistic We endeavor to recognize high-quality companies with strong balance sheets and cash flows that have historically demonstrated an ability to achieve superior sustainable growth Individual securities are identified through our proprietary screening process and then evaluated thoroughly via fundamental security analysis We focus on finding best-in-class selections that we believe may outperform in both positive and negative market conditions The process involves evaluation and selection of individual equity securities, evaluation of the equity portfolio as a standalone component and evaluation as a complete portfolio at the FSG Strategy level. Generally, we employ a value-based bias, but may pay a premium for pursuing higher sustainable growth 11
12 Thesis Risk Approach Ideas [Equities] Funds Summary The Team EQUITY SELECTION; PROPRIETARY SCREENING Focuses on company-specific metrics, technical indicators Evidence of potential for long-term sustainable growth and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) relative to the cost of capital Metrics include growth rates of revenue, earnings and cash flow, ROIC, debt-to-total capital and profit margins Model used for: Initial equity selection Evaluation of existing positions Development of watch lists 12
13 Thesis Risk Approach Ideas [Equities] Funds Summary The Team THE ROLE OF FUNDAMENTAL SECURITY ANALYSIS Involves an in-depth analysis of the financial statements Assessment of the financial statements focuses heavily on quality of earnings and evaluation of cash oriented metrics. Assessment of the business is conducted at the macro-economic, industry and company level. Considerations include the impact of the macro-economic environment, the company s competitive position within its industry and the growth, profitability, financial health and management of the company. No single metric is relied upon Heavier weight is given to metrics that are less susceptible to the intricacies of accrual accounting such as the P/E ratio 13

23 Volatility/Risk Analysis Defined: Standard deviation of return measures the average deviations of a return series from its mean, and is often used as a measure of risk. A large standard deviation implies that there have been large swings in the return series of the manager. The Sharpe Ratio of a manager series is the quotient of the annualized excess return of the manager over the cash equivalent and the annualized standard deviation of the manager return. The Sortino Ratio is an analog to the Sharpe Ratio, with the standard deviation replaced by the downside deviation. Accordingly, there are two versions: one uses the downside deviation with constant MAR, the other uses the downside deviation with cash as the MAR. A manager s drawdown at time t is defined as follows: Find the time s where the maximum of the manager s cumulative return from the beginning of the analysis period to time t occurs. The drawdown at time t is the manager s cumulative return from time s to time t. Note that this cumulative return must be zero or a loss, because the manager s high water mark from the beginning of the analysis period to time t occurs at s. The downside standard deviation, also referred to as downside risk, differs from the ordinary standard deviation insofar as the sum is restricted to those returns that are less than the mean. The up and down capture is a measure of how well a manager was able to replicate or improve on phases of positive benchmark returns, and how badly the manager was affected by phases of negative benchmark returns. To calculate the up capture, we first form new series from the manager and benchmark series by dropping all time periods where the benchmark return is zero or negative. The up capture is then the quotient of the annualized return of the resulting manager series, divided by the annualized return of the resulting benchmark series. The down capture is calculated analogously.

24 As each Private Investment Management (PIM ) program account is individually managed, construction and ongoing management of portfolios may vary from those discussed in this Philosophy Statement. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and there is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful. The value style of investing cannot guarantee appreciation in the market value of an investment's holdings. The return and principal value of stocks fluctuate with changes in market conditions. The value type of investing tends to shift in and out of favor. Investments and investment strategies contained herein are provided for informational purposes only. We would need to review your individual situation before recommending appropriate strategies to you. All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stocks offer long-term growth potential, but may fluctuate more and provide less current income than other investments. Advisory programs are not designed for excessively traded or inactive accounts and are not suitable for all investors. Please carefully review the Wells Fargo Advisors advisory disclosure document for a full description of our services. The minimum account size for this program is $50,000. Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. Before opening an option position, a person must receive a copy of Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options.
