Absolute Return

Risk can be defined in a number of ways. In its simplest definition, risk is thought of to be the likelihood of a complete loss. At Truth Investments, we assume that this risk of loss exists regardless of the type of investment. Therefore, we are also concerned with other factors that are more manageable. We will ask ourselves three questions before investing: 1) What is the variability or ‘choppiness’ of actual returns over any given time period? 2) What is the probability of a loss? 3) What is the probability of a complete loss?

When determining risk, we weigh these three factors equally using a mixture of judgment and mathematics on a one-year and long-term basis. Risk can range from low, to moderate, to high. Equities are more risky than fixed income. Typically, investors should expect higher returns as justification for accepting higher risk. Conversely, low returns are usually associated with low risk. However, this rule of thumb is not always the case and results may vary.

Accessing Your Money You own a separate account. Account funds can normally be

raised relatively easily in taxable accounts. Upon request to Truth

Investments, securities in your account are sold immediately.

It takes 3-4 business days for trades to settle and money to be ready for withdraw*.

Help accessing your money is available online or at your closest Scottrade office. Scottrade has the largest branch

network in the country among online brokers.

Money is typically raised via bank transfers or requesting checks.

Scottrade offices do not carry cash.* Best practice is to discuss funding/defunding needs with us at least 3 months in advance; particularly if invested in a Fixed Income or Absolute Return product. Certain securities have maturity dates that decrease liquidity. If such securities are sold prior to maturity, value can be lost.

Joseif started his career as an international equity investment analyst at the State Board of Administration (SBA), helping to manage the Florida Retirement System (FRS); one of the largest pension funds in the United States. After two years, he was promoted to portfolio manager where he helped operate a $100 million internally managed portfolio. In addition, Joseif and his colleagues were responsible for overseeing roughly $70 billion in global assets that were managed by over 40 external equity managers. It was in this job capacity that Joseif gained valuable insights into the management styles of some of the worlds most successful money managers. Communicating with and analyzing the styles of these managers, along with education and extensive research, gave Joseif the knowledge to develop his own style. Joseif worked at the SBA from July 2002 until April 2012 before starting Truth Investments.

Prior to Truth Investments, Remington operated an asset management firm called Noble Capital Management (Atlanta, GA), in which he rose money for clients to purchase QSR franchises. From July 2008 to June 2010, Remington worked as an analyst for Citigroup (New York, NY) in terms of equity swaps and non-agency mortgage trading. From May 2006 to April 2008, Remington garnered knowledge and experience through eclectic internships at the SBA (Tallahassee, FL), J.P.
