A Legacy of Success. A Tradition of Excellence. Roosevelt Investments is a privately held asset management

advisory firm P. James Roosevelt, Inc.

Sheer Asset Management, Inc., an investment advisory firm

founded by Arthur Sheer in 1990, retaining The Roosevelt

Investment Group, Inc. as the name of the combined firm.

To this day, The Roosevelt Investment Group, Inc. manages

investment assets of the Theodore Roosevelt Association in

addition to several members of the Roosevelt family.*

Roosevelt Investments is rooted in the principles of honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Over the past four decades, our exceptional client service, experienced personnel, and operational excellence have contributed to our growth and success. We constantly strive to provide unparalleled client service and innovative products.

Our approach to investing is predicated on proprietary research performed

by our teams of investment professionals. Using fundamental analysis, due

diligence, third-party research, and data services, our portfolio managers

seek to uncover hidden investment opportunities. These are reflected

across our domestic equity, international equity, and fixed income strategies,

which are available through separately managed accounts and mutual fund

products. Ultimately, our strategies and products seek to provide a balance of

protection and growth.

We focus on risk management during every step of the investment process. At Roosevelt Investments, our actively-managed domestic equity strategies embrace a

flexible approach. We search domestically and overseas for companies that are undervalued,

out-of-favor, or undiscovered with exceptional growth potential. Flexibility gives us the ability to

react to changing market conditions and to employ a global economic perspective.

We begin our investment process by identifying transformational change, which are translated into

investment themes that capitalize on the undercurrents of:

Capital preservation is a top priority. Over a full market cycle we aim to participate in upswings

while providing protection in downturns. We seek to accomplish this goal by actively utilizing a

variety of risk management tools.

Our All Cap Core Equity and Select Equity strategies are not restricted to companies of a certain

market capitalization. And our Select Equity portfolio allows for a degree of customization based

on a client’s particular financial circumstances or objectives, providing for equity exposure with the

potential for capital appreciation and risk management.

Domestic Equity. Manage for risk, returns can follow.

We conduct extensive global country allocation research. For the past 18 years, we have

been generating research upon which all of our international equity portfolios are based.

Our proprietary country-allocation models assess investment prospects in developed and emerging

market countries. Ultimately, we select investments based on our philosophy that:

Country allocation drives excess returns in international/global equity portfolios

Alpha can be captured through a disciplined approach to country allocation and enhanced

portfolio construction

Quantitative methodologies exploit human emotions and market segmentation which can

create valuation anomalies and macro-economic inefficiencies in global equity markets

Risk controls are applied to ensure proper diversification

We focus on top-down country allocation.Proprietary research states that country allocation can be a significant driver of performance.

Our team of international equity experts employs a time-tested investment process that focuses

on four fundamental investment factors: valuation, growth, risk, and sentiment/momentum.

Through careful analysis of these factors they determine whether to underweight or overallocate a

particular country market. Weightings are generally implemented through either optimized baskets

of local shares, American Depository Receipts (ADRs), or country Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).

International Equity. Award-winning research drives country allocations.
