Our Investment Philosophy


Our Philosophy

× We invest for the long term

× We are independent thinkers

× We employ a disciplined, consistent investment process

× We actively manage portfolios

× We are sensitive to costs and taxes

× We invest clients’ money as if it were our own

× We communicate in a timely and candid fashion


How We Build Portfolios

× Look through the lens of a long-term investor

× Stress diversification

× Rigorous fundamental research

× Bottoms-up

× Macro informs, doesn’t govern, how we construct portfolios

× We “tilt” our portfolios toward areas that appear mispriced

× Also, cognizant of risks, adjust accordingly


The Big Picture


Questions

× Will the economy sustain its growth?

× Will the jobs picture brighten?

× Will real estate emerge from the doldrums?

× Will leaders contain the sovereign debt crisis?

× Will tightening in emerging markets produce a soft landing?

× Will commodities prices spike anew?


Answers

Question Answer

Economic growth Muted, uneven growth

Jobs improvement Sluggish and patchy, reflecting small-business unease

Real estate Gradual improvement; no “correction”

Debt crisis Containable, but window closing; tepid Eurozone growth

Emerging markets Bumpy transition, but growth to continue

Commodities Spike possible, but prize as currency, inflation hedge


The Debt Ceiling

× Potentially de-stabilizing

× A political, not economic, phenomenon

× Bi-partisan sport

× Discomfort = leverage

× Expect agreement at 11th hour

× Reference: “Hitting the Roof: Thoughts on the Debt Ceiling” (May 2011)

Appendix: Disclosures

Portfolio Performance The portfolio returns presented are derived from portfolios seeded on the Inception Dates noted in the table. Portfolios designated with a roman numeral were created due to closures of certain underlying funds to new investors within the original portfolios. Except for the underlying funds replacing those that are closed to new investors, these portfolios have the same underlying funds, investment objective, and time horizon as the original same strategy portfolios. Therefore, the historical performance for a portfolio designated with a roman numeral is a blend of the performance of the original portfolio and successive same strategy portfolios as detailed under the Inception Dates. Except for the closures of some underlying funds to new investors in the original portfolios, these portfolios have the same objective, underlying funds and time horizon. Portfolios designated with an “R” are those containing certain underlying funds that are closed to new investors within the original portfolios. The historical performance for a portfolio designated with an “R” is the performance of the original portfolio and that of the closed fund; the historical performance of the portfolio of the same name is a blend of the performance of the original portfolio and successive same strategy portfolios. Except for the underlying funds replacing those that are closed to new investors, these portfolios have the same underlying funds, investment objective, and time horizon as the original same strategy portfolios.

Return calculations do not include the Total Maximum Annual Program Fee (see fee table below) and assume all dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested, are net of fund expenses and are based on the underlying funds’ net asset value as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange at the last business day of a month. The Seeded Portfolios have similar investment objectives and strategies as the portfolios recommended to individual clients. The purpose in presenting the Seeded Portfolio performance is to provide a historical indication of the performance of the portfolio’s strategy. The Seeded Portfolios may not have contained the same holdings that are currently underlying the portfolios provided to individual clients. Past performance does not guarantee future results. In no way should the Seeded Portfolio performance be considered indicative of a portfolio’s future performance nor should it be viewed as a substitute to the actual portfolios being recommended to individual clients. Results of an investment made today in the Morningstar Managed Portfolios Program may differ substantially from the historical performance shown and as a result, an individual client may incur a loss. Returns greater than one year are annualized.

Total Maximum Annual Program Fee: Mutual Fund – 150 bps, ETF – 141 bps, SSB – 165 bps
