19 Evolution of Portfolio Management We believe that building, managing and increasing wealth requires categorizing, organizing and analyzing the universe of investment opportunities differently than has been done in traditional allocation models. Modern Portfolio Theory Post-Modern Portfolio Theory Guggenheim Approach Cash Stocks Alternatives Cash Real Assets Low Beta Cash Stocks Bonds Bonds High Beta Traditional Assets Diversification Harry Markowitz (1950s) Introduction of Alternatives Endowment Model (1970s 2000s) Forward Looking Innovation Based Integrated Alpha & Beta Approach

20 Portfolio Construction & Management Our approach is reinforced by example when one observes the evolution of some of the industry s most admired endowments. As illustrated below, the Yale University endowment over the past 20 years has moved from a classical Modern Portfolio Theory allocation 10% to a much more innovative and diversified portfolio mix. 10% 14% 10% 25% 25% 5% 15% 65% 20% 20% 15% 10% 17 % 25% 14% U.S. Equity Foreign Equity Absolute Return U.S. Bonds Real Assets Private Equity. Harvard Domestic Equities 15% Foreign Equities 10% Emerging Markets 5% Private Equities 13% Absolute Return 12% High-Yield 5% Commodities 13% Real Estate 10% Domestic Bonds 11% Foreign Bonds 5% Inflation-Indexed Bonds 6% Cash (5%) Stanford Public Equity 40% Real Estate 16% Private Equity 10% Natural Resources 7% Absolute Return 15% Fixed Income 12% Endowments $1B+ U.S. Equity 28% Non-U.S. Equity 17% Hedge Funds 22% U.S. Fixed Income 12% Non-U.S. Fixed Income 2% Private Equity 6% Venture Capital 4% Natural Resources 3% Real Estate - Private 3% Real Estate - Public 1%

21 Yale is not alone in this pursuit of less traditional allocations. Harvard, Stanford and many of the nation s largest endowments and foundations employ equally creative and less traditional approaches to allocation, with widely noted success
