Advisory Services
Our Global MultiCap, Diversified Equity, U.S. All Cap Equity and Diversified Equity Income strategies
provide clients an efficient and diversified portfolio of individual stocks and exchange traded funds
(“ETFs”). This is accomplished by employing a dynamic asset allocation process using our
institutional investment capabilities. The resulting portfolio consists of large, mid, and small cap
stocks and ETFs in the domestic and international asset classes.
Our Institutional Core strategies (including GARP Plus (growth at a reasonable price), Large Cap
Core and Diversified Equity) select companies with above-average earnings growth potential and
reasonable valuations. This is accomplished by employing classic fundamental securities analysis
to identify the highest quality companies in terms of competitive advantage, profit margin
expansion, balance sheet strength, conservative accounting, corporate governance issues, and
management integrity. Our private client investment management GARP strategy is often managed
and customized for individual taxable clients. The different tax profile and often differing
investment time horizon of each client lead to differences in the types of investment themes
pursued in portfolio strategy and in the turnover of the portfolio.
Our Fixed Income strategies (taxable and tax exempt) seek income production, preservation of
capital, and a total rate of return through investments in high quality bonds. We actively manage
portfolios using individual bonds that are commensurate with the client’s income needs, tax
situation, and risk tolerance. Mutual funds or ETFs are also used for some
clients for the purpose of
improving diversification and liquidity. Our fixed income products primarily include US government,
corporate, mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and municipal securities.
Our Balanced portfolios are constructed using active strategies in both their equity and the fixed
income portions. Asset allocation weights are managed within ranges established in client
investment guidelines.
Our Relative Value Credit strategies seek to build a portfolio for which returns are not predicated on
market direction. We allocate capital dynamically across corporate and mortgage credit markets.
For certain clients we use a low net risk approach to credit spreads and interest rates. We specialize
in trading non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, agency credit risk transfer securities,

CLOs, and credit derivatives. Given the market inefficiencies in these areas, our proprietary analytics
provide a unique advantage in finding undervalued optionality.
Additional Advisory Services
Solution Products: Upon client request, we will combine two or more investment strategies tailored
to certain investment objectives or benchmark weightings. In combining these investment
strategies, we will deliver either an account that fully replicates the underlying strategies or, where
requested, an optimized approach to reduce the number of securities and portfolio turnover.
We act as a subadviser to a registered mutual fund. In this engagement we provide professional
investment advisory services on a discretionary basis. Investments for advised and subadvised
mutual funds are managed in accordance with each fund’s investment objective, strategies, and
restrictions and they are not tailored to the individualized needs of any particular fund investor.
We also act as subadviser to MassMutual Trust Company providing investment management
services to their clients pursuant to their overall asset allocation.
Wrap Fee/Sponsored Programs: We participate in wrap fee advisory programs sponsored by
unaffiliated advisors, broker-dealers, and banks (collectively, the “Sponsors”). Under these programs,
the Sponsors are responsible for selecting or facilitating the selection of advisers, pre-screening
client suitability, most aspects of direct client servicing, and operations. We provide separate
account advisory services with various investing strategies to clients of the Sponsors. Trades are
generally placed with brokers designated by the Sponsors, although we may use other brokers. See
