Dear Fellow Investor:

I have entered the asset management business. My company, ARL Advisers, LLC, is a registered investment

advisory in the State of Kentucky, and I am seeking your business.

With all the options out there, why consider what I have to offer?

First, I like to think that what I do is unique, but not special. I will not be selling you hype or the latest and greatest.

My methodology is driven by my own research and the data, and all investing decisions are objective. Second, my

market edge is the ability to use my computer, and I level the playing field even more by investing in markets not

companies. Third, I put a great emphasis on risk management as it is one of the few aspects of the markets that I can

control.

Please take 15 minutes to review my presentation. Here I outline my approach to the markets, and the types of

portfolios that we customize for our clients. More importantly, you will understand what I have been doing for the

past 10 years of my life, and I hope you will come away with the notion that I am committed to providing you with

the best service possible.

As you review the material, ask yourself these three questions: 1) what was my financial plan for the past 10 years?;

2) how will I navigate the markets in the next 10 years?; 3) what is my plan to capture new opportunities and reduce

risks in the future? I don’t have a crystal ball nor do I need one. However, I do have a plan and a methodology that

should capture the major themes. My emphasis is on a disciplined strategy. In essence, I am offering highly

stylized, institutional quality portfolios but without the churn of excessive trading and without the high fees.

I look forward to talking to you soon, and thank you for your time.

Guy

Page 10: Arl advisers main presentation

the benefits of passive asset allocation are well known*

returns

ability to profit in any economic environment

next slide

Page 13: Arl advisers main presentation

Step 1: strategic asset allocation

tactical or strategic asset allocation directs funds toward asset

classes with the highest potential for appreciation and away

from asset classes with greater potential for loss

proprietary, quantitative models are utilized to generate buy

and sell signals

models utilize fundamental and technical inputs

click here for

next slide

Page 14: Arl advisers main presentation

Step 2: risk management

risk management is achieved through a balanced

portfolio that it is constructed from diversified, non-

correlated assets

the diversified, non-correlated assets and money

management strategy will seek to mitigate risk without

decreasing returns

click here for

next slide

Page 15: Arl advisers main presentation

Step 3: targeted returns

each investor has their own level of acceptable risk and their

own expectations for returns

through the selection of different assets and the use of a

money management strategy, the return/ risk level is targeted

for each investor

level of return correlates with level of risk

Drawdown is the peak-to-trough decline (in

percentage terms) of an investment, and it is

measured from the time a retrenchment

reached. Drawdown is a measure of risk.

On the use of models and back testing to “predict” the

future:

past performance does not ensure future results

there is no assurance that ARL Advisers, LLC will achieve its investment objectives

however….

next slide

Page 30: Arl advisers main presentation

you cannot understand the present if you don’t know what worked in the past

key to superior long-term returns is to take investment opportunities when the evidence suggests high return/risk tradeoffs on average, and to avoid situations when the evidence suggests low return/risk tradeoffs on average

back testing puts an emphasis on a disciplined strategy and ensures the conviction to execute the strategy
