CORE AND SATELLITE PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION Building portfolios with a Core and Satellite investment approach involves balancing risk and return, asset class by asset class, to meet investor needs for financial security. Core and Satellite investing is based on the simple concept of splitting a portfolio into two segments. The Core represents the foundation of the strategy around which the more specialized Satellite(s) can be added. Why Core and Satellite matters! In recent years, investment markets with historically inverse relationships have reacted to turmoil by moving in similar fashion. We call this correlation. It can be a good thing when markets are rising, and just the opposite when markets are falling. Core and Satellite portfolio construction is designed to make sure you can participate in gains while reducing your downside risk. Covered Call Options Managed Futures Bonds 40% Stocks 60% Commodities Other REITs Satellites are typically the more targeted part of the portfolio and are designed with two goals: (1) reduce market correlation; and (2) provide additional returns (or alpha) above the market returns of the Core portfolio. Separately, Satellite investments typically carry higher risk; however, they can moderate volatility when added to a Core portfolio. Asset allocation cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. Diversifying investments does not guarantee against market loss.

THE CORE PORTFOLIO After consultation with clients, an investment strategy is created that will reflect the suitable blend of equities, fixed income and cash or cash equivalents. The Core investment usually takes the form of stocks and bonds, although it can be exclusively either, and represents the main part of the overall portfolio, typically 70-80%. The aim is to deliver a return marginally better than the market's performance (beta).

SATELLITES: COVERED CALL WRITING There is a conservative strategy involving listed equity options that many professional and individual investors are using today to generate income, achieve total return, and partially protect individual stock positions in an uncertain market. The strategy is called Covered Call Writing. This strategy allows you to generate cash, participate in an upward move in the stock up to your predetermined price ( strike price ), while simultaneously providing yourself with limited protection from a decline in the value of your stock position. When using covered calls, you give someone else the right to buy your shares from you at a certain price for a set period of time. You basically create a ceiling, or maximum value on your stock position until the expiration of the contract. In exchange for the ceiling you have put on your shares, someone will pay you a premium up front that you will keep regardless of the price of your shares. The premium received can provide you with limited protection if the stock should drop. The premium will likely not be enough to eliminate the substantial risk you may still have from a fall in the price of your stock. Ceiling Price Current XYZ Price Opportunity Cost You receive a cash payment up front for being willing to put a ceiling on shares until the expiration of the option Covered call writing can be utilized in any market condition in your Keogh, margin, cash account or IRA against stock you already own or are looking to purchase. The investor can still realize all of the benefits of the underlying stock ownership such as dividends and voting rights, unless the call is assigned prior to expiration. This strategy is considered slightly more conservative than owning the stock outright because your maximum loss is the value of the stock position less the premium you receive in selling the covered call. Before recommending or implementing covered call writing, it is recommended that you and your advisor perform the appropriate due diligence to make sure the stock is fundamentally and technically sound.
SATELLITES: COVERED CALL WRITING Covered call writing is generally considered a conservative and reliable investment strategy and is appropriate for investors who are: Neutral to bullish on the underlying stock position, Interested in generating cash (income resulting from option premiums), Interested in reducing volatility in a portfolio, Willing to give up ownership of the underlying stock at the strike price of the call, and Looking for limited downside protection. In exchange for the right to buy your stock, someone will pay you a premium up front. You keep this premium regardless of what happens to your stock. If the stock is not above the strike price at expiration and the call expires worthless, you keep your shares of stock as well as the premium you originally received. If the price of the stock is above the strike price of the covered call at expiration, it is bought by the long holder of the call at the strike price, and you receive the proceeds. If the price of the stock should drop, your loss in value is partially offset by the amount of premium you have received in selling the covered call. This is a hypothetical example and is not representative of any specific security. Actual results will vary and your experience may be different. This material has been prepared for illustrative purposes only. It is not an offer to sell, nor is it a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Prior to transacting in listed options you should consult with your financial advisor about all of the potential risks and benefits of such a strategy. This literature does not purport to be a complete description of the securities markets or any risks associated with trading options. Since options strategies involve unique risk considerations, tax consequences, and commission costs, options are not suitable for all investors. When participating in a covered call strategy, the investor is at risk of having to sell the stock if the stock s price rises above the strike price. Remember, in exchange for receiving the premium of having sold the calls, the investor is obligated to sell the stock if the option is exercised. This material must be preceded or accompanied by a copy of Characteristics and Risks of Listed Options, given to you by your advisor or by Nate Deal at 901 East Byrd Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. Finally, you should consult a tax expert regarding any potential tax implications involved with any potential options strategy prior to placing a trade.

SATELLITES: MANAGED FUTURES Managed futures consist of commodities and financial futures. The broad variety of global investments combined with the historical tendency of low correlation of the investments to traditional assets can help increase the diversification of your portfolio. By their very nature, managed futures provide a diversified investment opportunity. Trading advisors can participate in more than 150 global markets; from grains to gold to currencies and stock indices. While managed futures can decrease portfolio risk, they also simultaneously enhance overall portfolio performance. Including up to 20% of total investments in managed futures funds enhances portfolio diversity and therefore promotes greater independence from general market moves.
