SPY IPOM STRATEGY

�e performance presentation shown above represents the performance of the Watts Gwilliam & Company IPOM (Income Producing Options Model) Strategy. �e performance shown prior to August of 2009 was calculated using a hypothetical model portfolio. �e results for periods before August 2009 do not represent the results of actual trading by Watts Gwilliam & Company (WGC) using client assets but were achieved by means of retroactive application of a back-tested model that was designed with the benefit of hindsight. For periods before August 2009, assumptions were made and used to calculate the performance shown including historical interest rates, implied volatilities, dividends, option expirations, and option strike prices. Had actual historical information been used the performance might have been materially di�erent. �e data used to calculate hypothetical backtested performace and benchmark performance was obtained from sources we believe to be reliable. Sources of data include Bloomberg, Morningstar, the CBOE (Chicago Board of Options Exchange)and the iVolatilty website.

Future securities market conditions may be a�ected by factors that cannot be accounted for using historical modeling techniques. While it is WGC’s goal that the IPOM Strategy adds value to investment portfolios, especially in flat or down markets, portfolios might underperform in rising markets. �e performance presentation shown above does not reflect the e�ect of paying taxes which may be a significant consideration for taxable accounts. �e performance of the Watts Gwilliam IPOM Strategy shown for periods prior to August 2009 does not include the reinvestment of interest, dividends and other earnings. Returns for the Watts Gwilliam & Company Income Producing Options Model were calculated using the time-weighted rate of return method by geometrically linking daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly returns. For periods shown after August 2009 the results achieved by individual clients did and will vary from the actual performance of the performance composite and will depend on a number of factors including the particular underlying stock and its dividend yield, option market liquidity, interest rate levels, implied volatilities, and the client’s expressed return and risk parameters at the time the service is initiated and during the term.

�e results shown reflect the deduction of all investment management fees, commissions, and other expenses actually paid by clients for periods after August 2009. For periods shown before August 2009 the highest investment advisory fee, and highest commission rates charged by the custodian for this strategy were applied when calculating the model portfolio results. �e results shown for periods after August 2009 reflect the addition of dividends and interest if any to the account. �e Watts Gwilliam IPOM Strategy results shown for periods after August 2009 include only actual client portfolios greater than $150,000 in value, invested for the full calendar quarter and managed on a fully discretionary basis with no investment restrictions imposed by the client. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and there is the potential for loss of capital.

�e results shown above are compared with a benchmark index. Indices are unmanaged, hypothetical portfolios of securities that are often used as a benchmark in evaluating the relative performance of a particular investment. An index should only be compared with a mandate that has a similar investment objective. An Index is not available for direct investment, and does not reflect any of the costs associated with buying and selling individual securities or management fees. �e benchmark indicies’ performance includes dividends and interest. �e benchmark index used in this presentation is the S&P 500 Index and/or the CBOE Buywrite Monthly Index (BXM), as noted. �e S&P 500 measures the performance of the 500 largest US companies based on total market capitalization. S&P ranks the US common stocks from largest to smallest market capitalization at each annual reconstitution period. BXM is a benchmark index designed to track the performance of a hypothetical buy-write strategy on the S&P 500 index. For more information on the Buywrite Monthly Index please see www.cboe.com.
