Important Disclosures NAVELLIER DYNAMIC LIBERTAS 20 MODEL: is a quantitatively driven investment strategy. The strategy is a global, tactical, defensive portfolio that invests in domestic equity sector ETFs, international ETFs, fixed income ETFs, ETFs representing alternative investments, and takes defensive positions by investing in a cash equivalent, such as money market funds. The strategy can raise up to 100% cash when conditions warrant. The strategy uses sine waves to measure the wave heights of the market. These sine waves produce signals that indicate when the portfolio should move in and out of ETFs and cash. This strategy is more moderate than other similar strategies and may have higher defensive allocations. There is no guarantee the adviser will be successful in achieving returns similar to the results presented herein, and in fact client returns may be significantly lower than the returns presented here after actual fees are taken into account, including management fees, brokerage or transaction costs, or other administrative or custodian fees a client may incur. As a matter of normal and important disclosures to you, as a potential investor, please consider the following. The returns presented reflect hypothetical performance an investor would have obtained had it invested in the manner shown and does not represent returns that an investor actually attained. Hypothetical back-tested performance has many inherent limitations. The performance numbers should be considered as Model Portfolio results and are mere paper or proforma performance results. There are material differences between Vireo Investment Product portfolios and the research and performance figures presented here. The performance and the research results (1) may contain ETFs that are illiquid and difficult to trade; (2) may contain ETF holdings materially different from actual funded Vireo Investment Product portfolios; and (3) may not reflect prices obtained in an actual funded Vireo Investment Product portfolio. As a matter of important disclosure regarding the hypothetical results presented in the accompanying charts and graphs, the following factors must be considered when evaluating the performance figures presented: 1) Historical or illustrated results presented herein do not indicate future performance; Investment in securities involves significant risk and has the potential for partial or complete loss of funds invested. 2) The results presented were generated during a period of mixed (improving and deteriorating) economic conditions in the U.S. and positive and negative market performance. There can be no assurance that the favorable market conditions will occur again in the future. Navellier has no data regarding actual performance in different economic or market cycles or conditions. 3) The results portrayed reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. 4) LIMITATIONS INHERENT IN HYPOTHETICAL RESULTS: The performance results presented are from an Index, not an actually funded portfolio, and may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on the adviser s decision-making if the adviser was actually managing clients money, and thus present returns which are greater than what a potential investor would have experienced for the time period. The results are presented for informational purposes only. No real money has been invested in this investment strategy. The investment strategy performance results should be considered mere paper or pro forma performance results. These results do not represent actual funded trades and may not reflect actual prices paid or received for actual funded trades. 5) The reported performances of Indexes presented in the accompanying charts and graphs do not reflect the performance results of Navellier s actually funded and traded Investment Products. 6) In most cases, the adviser s clients investment results would be materially lower than the results portrayed in these materials. 7) The performance results may or may not relate, or only partially relate, to the type of advisory services currently offered by Navellier & Associates, Inc. Navellier does not calculate the statistical information included herein. This material has been prepared solely for informative purposes. Although information contained herein is based on sources Navellier believes to be reliable, Navellier does not guarantee its accuracy, and the information may be incomplete or condensed. Statistical analyses of the data presented are provided by FactSet, a company not related to Navellier. Information presented herein and the related FactSet sourced information is provided on an as is basis. The user assumes the entire risk of any use made of this information. Investors should consider the report as only a single factor in making their investment decision. The report is for informational purposes only and is not intended as an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of a security. FactSet sourced information is the exclusive property of FactSet. Without prior written permission of FactSet, this information may not be reproduced, disseminated, or used to create any financial products. The results portrayed include investment advisory fees paid to the adviser equal to 0.75% plus an estimated custodian/brokerage fee to account for transaction/brokerage costs equal to 2.00%, for total fees equal to 2.75%. The adviser believes these fees represent the highest fees a client may incur with a brokerage firm or other financial intermediary. However, it may be that some financial intermediaries charge fees greater than the adviser is aware of. The pure gross results portrayed do not include any investment advisory fees, administrative fees, or transaction expenses, or other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid. The fees reflected in the net performance figures in this presentation may not include administrative fees, or transaction expenses, or other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid. The fees may also vary depending on the account size and estimated trading costs will be greater for smaller accounts. The ETFs invested in the model portfolios have their own expenses that are included in the gross and net returns presented. The benchmark that we use to compare against the, the Benchmark, is a blended benchmark using the following indices: S&P 500 (45%), MSCI World ex U.S. (25%), and Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (30%). The benchmark is rebalanced monthly. Prior to July 2013, this blended benchmark was referred to as the Allocator Benchmark. The S&P 500 Index measures the performance of the 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy, focusing on the large cap segment of the market, with approximately 75% coverage of U.S. equities. The MSCI World ex U.S. Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. As of June 2013, the MSCI World ex U.S. Index consisted of the following 23 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. MSCI World ex U.S. Index targets 85% of the free float adjusted market capitalization. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), ABS, and CMBS. Presentation of index data does not reflect a belief by Navellier that any stock index constitutes an investment alternative to any Navellier equity strategy presented in these materials, or is necessarily comparable to such strategies and an investor cannot invest directly in an index. Among the most important differences between the indexes and Navellier strategies are that the Navellier equity strategies may (1) incur material management fees, (2) concentrate investments in relatively few ETFs, industries, or sectors, (3) have significantly greater trading activity and related costs, and (4) be significantly more or less volatile than the indexes. All indexes are unmanaged and performance of the indices include reinvestment of dividends and interest income, unless otherwise noted, are not illustrative of any particular investment and an investment cannot be made in any index. Potential investors should consult with their financial adviser before investing in any Navellier Investment Product. 5

Compliance Statement Navellier & Associates, Inc. claims compliance with the Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with GIPS standards. Navellier & Associates, Inc. has been independently verified for the periods January 1, 1995 through March 31, 2014 by Ashland Partners & Company LLP. A copy of the verification report is available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation. 2. Definition of Firm - Navellier & Associates, Inc. is a registered investment adviser established in 1987. Navellier & Associates, Inc. manages a variety of equity assets for primarily U.S. and Canadian institutional and retail clients. The firm s list of composite descriptions as well as information regarding the firm s policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request. 3. Description - The Navellier Dynamic Institutional includes all discretionary equity accounts managed with similar objectives for a full month, including those accounts no longer with the firm. This global balanced strategy is a tactical, defensive portfolio that has the potential to invest in domestic equity sector ETFs, international ETFs, fixed income ETFs, ETFs representing alternative investments, and takes defensive positions by investing in a cash equivalent, such as money market funds. The strategy can raise up to 100% cash when conditions warrant. All ETFs in the universe are ranked based on a weighted, quantitative multi-factor model relative to the S&P 500 and to cash to determine timing, allocation, positioning, and overall portfolio risk. Based on the model ranking, the strategy typically holds 8 to 10 ETFs. The strategy uses sine waves to measure the wave heights of the market. These sine waves produce signals that indicate when the portfolio should move in and out of ETFs and cash. This strategy is more moderate than other similar Libertas strategies and cash and cash equivalents will be approximately equal to VIX. From inception, there is one non-management-fee paying account included in the composite. Performance is calculated on a time-weighted and asset-weighted basis. For the 2013, performance figures that are netof-fees are calculated using a 2.50% annualized advisory fee, which is the hightest bundled advisory fee we believe a client would incure with a brokerage firm or other financial intermediary. The advisory fee, which is applied monthly, includes a management fee and custodian/brokerage fees accounting for transaction/brokerage costs. Grossof-fees returns reflect the deduction of transaction costs/commissions, but do not reflect the deduction of any investment management fees. Performance results are total returns and include the reinvestment of all income, including dividends. The composite was created June 30, 2013. Valuations and returns are computed and stated in U.S. Dollars. 4. Management Fees - The management fee schedule for accounts ranges from 60 to 90 basis points, depending on account size and brokerage selected. Some incentive fee, fixed fee, and fulcrum fee accounts may be included. Fees are negotiable, and not all accounts included in the composite are charged the same rate. Fees are negotiable, and not all accounts included in the composite are charged the same rate. The client is referred to the firm s Form ADV Part 2A for a full disclosure of the fee schedule. 5. Dispersion - If applicable, the dispersion of annual returns is measured by the standard deviation across asset-weighted portfolio returns represented within the composite for the full year. 6. Benchmark - The Benchmark is a blended benchmark using the following indices: S&P 500 (45%), MSCI World ex U.S. (25%), and Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (30%). The benchmark is rebalanced monthly. Prior to July 2013, this blended benchmark was referred to as the Allocator Benchmark. The S&P 500 Index measures the performance of the 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy, focusing on the large cap segment of the market, with approximately 75% coverage of U.S. equities. The MSCI World ex U.S. Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets.
