  4. RESULTS/RETURNS: SEE PGS. 2 & 7

    The investment process that Dave Rosen described has produced excellent results on a CONSISTENT BASIS: see pg. 2
    Since inception our average annualized gross rate of return on our U.S. large cap value equity portfolio composite has been 10.32% Vs. 4.99% for the Russell 1000 Benchmark Index and 2.67% for the S&P 500.
  5. Both our People and our Process lead us to healthy returns not only OUTRIGHT but on a RISK ADJUSTED BASIS as well:
    Lets take a look at some of those measurements of risks: see pg. 5
    HIGH ALPHA & HIGH INFORMAITON RATIO INDICATES CONSISTENTLY HIGH RISK ADJUSTED RETURNS FOR EVERY UNIT OF RISK TAKEN.

    * A) ALPHA = 4.87% since inception & 5.49% over the last 5yrs.

    * B) INFORMATION RATIO = .58 OVER THE LAST 5YRS.

    *Higher IR shows that the manager is consistently outperforming the benchmark. It also means a manager can achieve higher returns more efficiently than one with a low ratio by taking on additional units of risk.

    • *C) UP-SIDE CAPTURE = 116%
    • DOWN-SIDE CAPTURE = 95%

    ***ESSENTIALLY WE PARTICIPATE MORE ON THE UPSIDE THEN WE DO ON THE DOWNSIDE. SO EITHER WAY WE'RE ALWAYS OUTPERFORMING THE MARKET.

  7. IN SUMMARY:

    II. WE HAVE A PROVEN, REPEATABLE PROCESS EVIDENCED BY OUR CONSISTENTLY HIGH, RISK ADJUSTED RETURNS SINCE INCEPTION.

    III. SO TO WRAP THIS UP:

    IT'S OUR VIEW THAT THESE TRAITS WILL PRODUCE THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME FOR PLAN SPONORS.
