14 Taxes Trevor Magyar
15 Our Goal: Maximize Your Long-Term After-Tax Return Long-term pre-tax investment outcomes are the primary driver of your long-term after-tax return. Sequoia Fund remains one of the lowest-turnover, most highly taxefficient vehicles in the active mutual fund industry.
16 Investment Considerations Come First Two Refinements It pays to hold a profitable investment for more than one year to avoid punitive short-term capital gains. Because recognizing a gain produces a certain tax bill and an uncertain improvement in the Fund s future pre-tax return, it makes sense to limit turnover to those situations in which the anticipated positive impact on the Fund s pre-tax return is significant.
17 Putting Turnover Into Perspective 10-Year Compounded After-Tax Return (Assuming Market Return of 7.0%) * 8.0% 6.0% 4.0% 2.0% 0.0% Annual Turnover Gains at Long- Term Rates Pre-Tax Outperformance Annualized 4.6% 100% 0% 0bps 5.9% 0% 100% 0bps * All return calculations assume a 20.0% tax rate on realized long-term capital gains and a 35.0% tax rate on realized short-term gains. In the case 0% turnover, the return calculation assumes all the investments are sold and all associated gains are realized at the end of the 10-year period.
18 Putting Turnover Into Perspective 10-Year Compounded After-Tax Return (Assuming Market Return of 7.0%) * 8.0% 6.0% 4.6% 5.9% +130bps 8.1% Defer Gains +30bps 4.0% 2.0% 0.0% Annual Turnover 100% 0% 18% Avoid ST Gains +100bps Gains at Long- Term Rates 0% 100% 98% Pre-Tax Outperformance Annualized 0bps 0bps 265bps * All return calculations assume a 20.0% tax rate on realized long-term capital gains and a 35.0% tax rate on realized short-term gains. In the case 0% turnover, the return calculation assumes all the investments are sold and all associated gains are realized at the end of the 10-year period.

33 Conclusion John Harris
34 Conclusion So far, so good, but stay tuned it s still early, and we have much to prove. If you own companies that are better and faster-growing than the typical business, and if you mostly buy cheap and sell dear, you should outperform significantly. We are pleased that we ve kept up with a strong market and have a portfolio today that we like better than the one we had two years ago. While paying taxes is never enjoyable, what matters is maximizing after-tax performance not minimizing taxes. We remain among the most tax-efficient investment managers of which we are aware and we expect to stay that way. We have made very significant investments in our administrative infrastructure, leaving the back end of Ruane Cunniff stronger than ever. We have shown you a lot of numbers and information, but not everything that counts in our business can be counted, and nothing counts more than culture.
