PVG DYNAMIC CORE

➢ The strategy follows the moving averages of each Index. (S&P 500, NASDAQ, EAFE, RUSSELL 2K)

➢ When the market is in a bear market PVG uses the 20-day moving average and 50-day moving

average to try and find a market bottom. Otherwise it will move back to a long position when the

market breaks back above the 200-day moving average.

➢ Below is an example of a buy and sell signal using the 200-day moving average. The algorithm is a bit

more complex; this is just a sample illustration.

➢ The Strategy invests in both Common Stocks and Income Stocks to generate a 4%-6% Yield

➢ When the market is overvalued the strategy migrates to a more “market neutral” position using inverse

ETFs to protect against systemic risk

➢ The strategy will be more tilted to Value and Income Stocks or defensive positions such as cash and

inverse ETFs at market tops

➢ The strategy will be more tilted to Growth Stocks with little to no hedge after significant bear markets

Stock and Bond Market ValuationBoth stocks and bonds are overvalued

The yield of the 10 year treasury iscurrently 2.96%. Generally, the 10 yearnote trends around the nominal GDPgrowth rate. For instance, real GDPgrowth of 3% plus inflation rate of 3%,plus a risk premium, gets an expectedyield on the 10 year treasury of 6-7%.When the bond yields more than 6% itgenerally represents good value, andbelow 4% has a high degree of risk.

The current S&P 500 Shiller P/E ratio shows31.88x. Generally, 15 times earnings orlower, represents attractive periods forowning stocks, and above 15 times, higherrisk periods. It should be noted that thereare periods during recessions whenearnings fall to very low levels and shouldnot be used to assess the value of theequity markets for these purposes like in2008 and 2009.

Technicals

➢ During the last year, value stocks have dramatically underperformed growth stocks.

➢ Value stocks are generally much more dependent on the economy, and this underperformance disparity tends to happen at the end of a bull market.

➢ Many value stocks also tend to be nice income producers as well.

Investment Products:

Risk Considerations:

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Performance results are presented in U.S. dollars and are net-of-actual-management fees and trading expenses of the composite and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Actual fees may vary based on, among other factors, account

size and custodial relationship. *Annual returns are compounded over the specified period. The current dividend yield is calculated gross of fees as of quarter end date and is the expected forward yield. No current or prospective client should assume

future performance of any specific investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Changes in investment strategies, contributions or withdrawals may cause the

performance results of your portfolio to differ materially from the reported composite performance. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment will either be suitable or

profitable for a client's investment portfolio. PVG’s Portfolio Risk Spectrum is based off a number of factors including portfolio structure, holdings, weighting and risk measures. It is not meant to define the client’s risk profile or appetite when

investing with PVG. The Portfolio Risk Spectrum may change from the current position at any time depending on the factors stated for measurement. Historical performance results for market indices generally do not reflect the deduction of

transaction and/or custodial charges or the deduction of an investment-management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results. Economic factors, market conditions, and investment strategies will

affect the performance of any portfolio and there are no assurances that it will match or outperform any particular benchmark. Portfolios in the composite utilize levered index products. Leveraged ETFs are considered risky. The use of leverage

strategies by a fund increases the risk to the fund and magnifies gains or losses on the investment. You could incur significant losses even if the long-term performance of the underlying index showed a gain. Most leveraged ETFs “reset” daily. Due to

the effect of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are offered by prospectus

only. Investors should consider a fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus, which contains this and other important information, is available from your Financial Advisor and should be read

carefully before investing. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETFs trade like stocks and may trade for less than

their net asset value. The S&P500 Total Return Index is the total return version of the S&P 500 Index which includes the effects of reinvested dividends. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure

performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The 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. The U.S. Aggregate rolls up into other Barclay’s flagship

indices, such as the multi-currency Global Aggregate Index and the U.S. Universal Index, which includes high yield and emerging markets debt. The U.S. Aggregate Index was created in 1986, with index history backfilled to January 1, 1976.The

investment strategy and types of securities held by the comparison indices may be substantially different from the investment strategy and the types of securities held by the PVG Equity Income strategy. PVG Asset Management (“PVG”) is a

registered investment advisor with the United States Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). SEC registration does not constitute an endorsement of the firm by the Commission nor does it indicate that the advisor has attained a particular

level of skill or ability. Inception for the Equity Income strategy is 10/1/2010; prior performance represents the Income portion of the Balanced Strategy Composite, which PVG believes was managed with the same investment goals. Inception for the

Tactical Total Return strategy is 09/30/2001. Composite performance represents the results of the PVG management team, which has changed over time due to retirements and new staff. Additional information is available upon request.
