Exceeding Your Expectations
500 West Madison Street, Suite 1700 | Chicago, IL 60661 | 312.853.1000
Quarterly ConsiderationsQ yPlan SponsorsSave More ‐ 401(k) plan contribution limits rise to $17,500 in 2013. For participants age 50 and older, catch‐up contributions rise to $5,500. Approximately 5 percent of the 60+ million 401(k) plan participants maximize contributions.
Save Less? ‐ The tax deferral advantage for retirement savings will get plenty of attention in tax‐reform talks. 2013’s fiscal budget proposed budget estimates that during the g g g p y g p p g gnext five years alone, retirement tax deductions add up to $419 billion in lost tax revenue. We’ll keep you informed of developments.
Roth & Roll ‐ As part of the fiscal cliff deal, new legislation permits any amounts in 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans to be converted to Roth. Conversions are taxed at today’s rates, but allow for tax‐free distributions under the Roth provision. The plan must permit Roth deferral contributions and conversions. Let us assist you in analyzing a Roth feature.
Positively Funded Status ‐ Rising equity markets and falling liabilities combined to improve the funded status of the typical U.S. corporate pension plan in 2012. The funded
Non-Profit Organizationsstatus rose 1% to 76.3%, according to BNY Mellon.
Foreign Impact ‐ 2012 fiscal returns were much lower than returns for fiscal 2011 for endowments of all sizes. Playing into weaker returns were poor relative results from international equities. As of June 30th, the average equity allocation, including domestic, international and emerging markets, was 26.8%.
More Forgiving ‐ The IRS updated its voluntary program to allow for corrections that were previously limited or made unavailable due to a number of 403(b) plan operational and
Th W lth Offi ™
More Forgiving ‐ The IRS updated its voluntary program to allow for corrections that were previously limited or made unavailable due to a number of 403(b) plan operational and documentation errors. This update is important because, now, employers who missed the written plan document deadline of December 31st, 2009, can correct the problem with the IRS’s blessing.
Charitable Reach ‐ Foundation investments have a much wider reach than the support they provide to specific causes, according to a recent study by the Philanthropic Collaborative. For instance, there are approximately 1 million jobs created over the span of a year after grants trickle throughout the economy.
The Wealth Office™Step Back from the Ledge ‐ Less than 12‐hours into 2013, Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 which averted the so‐called ‘fiscal cliff’, at least for now. Subsequently, many are trying to understand the Act’s impact on their individual situations. To that end, Nick Breit, a Senior Consultant in The Wealth OfficeTM, recently authored a summary of the Act’s main provisions. Please contact The Wealth OfficeTM to obtain a copy of the publication which is also available in the Research & Resource Center on the DiMeo Schneider website.
Give ‘Til it Hurts ‐ A provision in The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the qualified charitable distribution [QCD] provisions for 2012 and 2013. Provided certain timing restrictions are met, an IRA owner can treat a contribution made to a qualified charity in January 2013 as a 2012 QCD. Additionally, a QCD made in January 2013 that is treated as a 2012 QCD can satisfy an IRA owners 2012 required minimum distribution provided the amount equals or exceeds the 2012 RMD amount. Please contact The Wealth OfficeTM if you’re interested in learning more about this opportunity.
Song Remains the Same: While the potential for further change exists, the tax‐exempt status of municipal bond income was not altered as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. After flows turned negative in December of last year, municipal bond investors cheered this news and resumed pouring assets into municipal bond mutual funds. The Wealth OfficeTM can help you understand how changes with respect to the tax‐exempt status of muni bond income might affect your fixed income assets.

Fixed Income The yield curve steepened modestly during the quarter after the Fed announced a new commitment to purchase an additional $45 billion per month of

nominal treasuries. Longer maturities sold off due to higher duration securities being more sensitive to heightened inflation expectations as the result of the Fed’s new commitment requiring a further increase in the money supply. The Fed opted not to extend “Operation Twist” into 2013 since inflation has continued to keep pace with the Fed’s expectations. Investor appetite for yield remained plentiful during the fourth quarter, with investment grade corporates and high yield outperforming treasuries and most securitized sectors. Overall, investment grade credit spreads were mostly unchanged during the quarter and remain at pre-financial crisis levels, but credit spreads of financial corporates tightened by 27 basis points during the quarter, outperforming industrial and utility corporate bonds, and driving performance of the sector. High yield spreads tightened 50, 30, and 40 basis points for CCC, B, and BB rated debt, respectively Overall corporate balance sheets remain strong relative to history and corporate debt issuance is expected to remain at its current brisk pacerespectively. Overall, corporate balance sheets remain strong relative to history, and corporate debt issuance is expected to remain at its current brisk pace as a result of low historical credit spreads. As sentiment improved somewhat in continental Europe, fixed income investors were attracted to wider spreads in European bonds as a result of the macro E.U. concerns that remain. However, disparity remains in the Eurozone with 10-year German bunds trading at significant premiums to Greek, Spanish, and Italian bonds despite the ECB’s explicit commitment to support the bond markets of overleveraged nations. Due to the yen’s considerable deprecation relative to the U.S. dollar, Japanese denominated bonds declined significantly for U.S. investors. Emerging markets debt was a strong performer as economic fundamentals associated with modest debt positions continue to be attractive for emerging nations. However yields in Brazil Russia and India highlight continued inflation fearsHowever, yields in Brazil, Russia, and India highlight continued inflation fears.
TIPS TIPS modestly outperformed treasuries during the quarter, partly due to a new purchase commitment by the Fed that investors expect to put upward pressure on inflation. The 10-year breakeven rate inched up modestly during the quarter, which was due to a 20 basis point pick up in the 10-year treasury yield, and offset by a 10 basis point increase in the 10-year TIPS yield to -0.7%. Overall, the short and intermediate part of the real yield curve remains negative within a range of 0.5% to -1.5% and the 20 and 30-year maturities remain at modestly positive real yields. Market implied inflation of 2.5% remains g g y y p y pright on top of the Fed’s recently released threshold for the metric, which suggests the Fed beginning a tightening cycle remains unlikely in the near term.
Munis Muni bonds outperformed treasuries during the quarter, but lagged higher-yielding spread sectors such as investment grade corporates and high yield. Despite challenging credit profiles of many high profile states, such as California and Illinois, lower-quality municipals outperformed higher rated issues by significant margins for calendar year 2012 (BBB +9.8% vs. AAA +4.5%). Overall, state revenues increased modestly during 2012, but revenue at the local level remains constrained. Additionally, rating downgrades in the space continue to outpace upgrades by a 4 to 1 margin. Cautious investors will continue to view municipalities in California as a key consideration for the creditworthiness of much of the muni market. Although the January 1, 2013 congressional budget deal did not include a cap on municipal income, the increase in the top-bracket rate to 39.6% will affect investors that have an income in excess of $400,000. However, higher tax rates are generally viewed as a positive for the space, since the tax-efficiency of munis becomes more prevalent in higher tax environments.

Emerging markets debt was a strong performer as economic fundamentals associated with modest debt positions continue to be attractive for emerging nations.

High Yield High yield bonds outperformed other domestic fixed income sectors, mainly due to investors continuing to search for yield and corporate balance sheets being in good shape. High yield spreads tightened 50, 30, and 40 basis points for CCC, B, and BB rated debt, respectively. Corporate debt issuance is expected to remain at its current brisk pace as a result of low historical credit spreads. Fund flows into high yield have also been strong during the last three years as investors have sold out of money market and equity funds in favor of corporate bond funds generating yield.
Balanced U.S. equity markets ended the final quarter of 2012 with mostly positive results amid optimism U.S. policymakers would reach an agreement and avoid the year-end ‘fiscal cliff’. For the quarter, the S&P 500 Index ended modestly lower, while the Russell 2000 Index of smaller companies gained 2%. Financials, industrials and materials were among the top performing sectors, while utilities, information technology and telecom lagged. Across market capitalizations, small- and mid-cap issues outperformed large-cap companies. Meanwhile, value stocks outperformed their growth counterparts. U.S. fixed income markets posted flat to generally positive results. Lower quality, higher yielding corporate securities performed strongly during the quarter. Investment grade p g y p q y, g y g p p g y g q gcorporates also moved higher. Treasuries were among the worst performing sector as risk assets outperformed. Mortgage-backed securities moved slightly lower as investors feared record low mortgage rates would lead to an uptick in refinancing activity.
Broad Equity Domestic stock owners entered the fourth quarter with some concern. The presidential election, pending negotiations on the ‘fiscal cliff’, and tepid economic growth provided enough grounds for domestic stock investors to slow their advance from the third quarter. Subsequently, stocks fell throughout October and early November rebounding only after the newly reelected President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner agreed to work together. As domestic stocks rallied in December the major indices fell short of producing positive returns for the quarter. The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and NASDAQ Composite Index each fell 0.4%, 1.7%, and 2.5% respectively. These returns were in stark contrast to international and emerging equity markets. Asian, European, and most Latin American stock indices rose on encouraging economic data from China. Europe continued to benefit from a powerful rally that started in the third quarter off of Mario Draghi’s proclamation that the European Central Bank (ECB) is prepared to do whatever it takes to maintain the Eurozone. The MSCI EAFE returned 6.6% for the quarter increasing its stellar performance for the year to 17.9%.

While Congress provided welcome tax relief for many, a significant portion of the nation’s fiscal debate surrounding spending cuts was delayed two months and is now set to begin on March 1st, 2013. Additionally, the legislation did not include an increase to the current debt ceiling. On December 31st, 2012, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner noted that the U.S. had once again reached its statutory debt ceiling, making spending negotiations even more critical.

REITs, the second largest financial component of the Index, contributed the most to returns. Utilities were the largest drag on performance over the quarter. Historically viewed as a defensive sector due to high regulation, barriers to entry, and stable demand, utility stocks were out of favor as other risk assets were in greater demand for the quarter.

experienced the largest decline, losing over 10%, while livestock rallied almost 5%. 12 of 27 subsectors declined for the year led by coffee, orange juice and natural gas. A strong harvest season in Brazil specifically weighed on coffee prices. Feeder cattle delivered solid returns in the fourth quarter thanks to lower input prices. Within energy, WTI Crude declined while Brent rallied. Forecasts of warmer weather further depressed natural gas prices. Declines in December as a result of the looming fiscal cliff led to precious metals declining for the quarter. Supply and demand dynamics caused soybean meal to rebound from a weak 2011 and return 49% in 2012. Grains reversed course and saw generally lower prices because of improved supply expectations.
Global Real EstateGlobal Real Estate With the exception of Mexico, real estate markets globally produced very strong gains during 2012 and positive results for each quarter of the year. Domestic REITs returned 18% for the year but still lagged the surging international markets. Quarterly performance was positive for all domestic property types, led by industrial, regional mall and shopping center owners. Improved consumer spending and sentiment contributed to the sectors strong gains. Office/industrial declined for the quarter and apartments lagged as investors anticipated an improving housing market.

Norway was the only declining country for the quarter due to stock specific issues. Asia rebounded from a material decline in 2011 to deliver the highest regional performance for the year. Above average performance can be seen across almost every country in the region. Favorable macroeconomic tail winds led to real estate developers in China and Japan returning over 20% for the quarter. However, valuation concerns weighed on J-REIT quarterly performance. Wide dispersion of returns was seen within emerging markets REITs. An improved residential sector and retail sales plus a favorable change in leadership caused China to deliver the highest return for the quarter and year. Mexico trailed for the year as homebuilders struggled under difficult business conditions, as new mortgage requirements have made it difficult to generate cash flows from operations. Additionally, the Macquarie Mexico REIT IPO was poorly received.q g p y, q p y
Hedge Funds (based on preliminary reports according to Hedge Fund Research, Inc.)Hedge fund returns during the fourth quarter were strong and broad based. Event driven produced steady results throughout the quarter as renewed strength in the M&A environment, distressed situations and special distributions drove gains. Notably, the strategy produced positive results over the last seven months of the year. Relative value continued to benefit from the structured credit tailwind, ending the year as the top performing strategy in the industry. Equity hedge managers produced positive results as fundamental managers were able to navigate choppy markets early in the quarter and participate in the upside through December. Short-biased and energy-focused struggles persisted during the quarter leading them to be the two strategies which lost the most capital over the span of 2012. Tactical trading managers delivered negative results during the quarter, ending the year roughly flat. Trend following and other systematic/quantitative strategies continued to weigh on results through October and November but finished with a strong December to limit quarterly losses. Fund of hedge funds produced stable returns throughout the quarter but modestly underperformed direct hedge funds for the year. While the industry experienced modest outflows over the course of 2012, those investors that are putting capital to work continue to gravitate toward structured credit and relative value-based strategies.

regulatory concerns, and tax related selling by retail investors led to December weakness. The Alerian MLP Index returned 4.8% for 2012, trailing the S&P 500 Index for only the third time in the past ten years. As shown by positive distribution growth, heightened capital raises, and a strong development pipeline, MLP fundamentals remain robust. Sector dispersion of returns was above historical norms for the year. During the fourth quarter, crude oil sensitive MLPs and general partners outperformed while weakness in natural gas and natural gas liquids weighed on the space. Access to prime regions, such as the Bakken and the Northeast, drove relative performance for individual MLPs throughout the year. Regulatory reforms and tax changes continue to be primarily only headline risks and do not pose an immediate threat to the asset class.

What's Left OutU.S. Debt Ceiling Resolution
U.S. had reached its $16.4 trillion debt ceiling. The Treasury Department will now take extraordinary measures to avoid a default as long as possible (projected for late February 2013). As a result, Congress will need to agree upon additional legislation in order to raise the current debt ceiling.
The payroll tax cut (which had been in effect for 2011 and 2012) was not extended by the legislation. As a result, workers will see their Social Security withholding on 2013 earned income increase from 4.2% to 6.2%, up to the Social Security wage base ($113,700 for 2013).

ConclusionConclusionThe legislation passed on January 1st has taken measures to ensure that the U.S. did not encounter what many call the “fiscal cliff.” However, the countrymay not be “out of the woods” as far as fiscal obstacles are concerned. The country’s focus now turns toward the next impasse of how to close the long-termgap between tax revenues and spending promises. As previously noted, the New Year’s resolution does not explicitly address how to revise the increasinglycomplicated tax code or stymie rising entitlement spending. Both of which are crucial concerns for lawmakers charged with closing the gap.

The Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Index returned 2.1% for the period. The Inflation-Protected Securities Fund closely tracked theTIPS index and outperformed its peer group during the quarter. The fund invests almost exclusively in TIPS, and its performance can vary fromthat of competing funds that may hold other types of securities.During the quarter, 10-year break-even rates widened from 2.13% to 2.42% as inflationary concerns increased following the Federal Reserve'sannouncement of a third round of QE.

FUND OBJECTIVE
QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND
This fund is managed to take full advantage of the 35% limit on below investment-grade bonds, which tends to generate a higher risk/rewardprofile. In addition, management is willing to take on added interest rate risk through obtaining longer-duration bonds in order to gain higher yields.To ease some of this interest rate risk, the fund is structured with counter cyclical elements. In doing so, it will utilize convertible bonds, municipalbonds, preferred stocks and foreign corporate and government bonds, in addition to the domestic corporate bonds which make up the majority of
the fund.

The fund’s investment grade financial holdings and an out of benchmark allocation to high yield and non-US dollar denominated securities droverelative outperformance.Positions in the euro, Canadian dollar, New Zealand dollar and British pound all helped results as they appreciated vs. the US dollar.Within the high yield sector, the fund’s allocations to industrial, financial, and utility securities all helped results.A large underweight to US Treasuries helped results as they underperformed both corporate and mortgage bonds.An overweight to the defensive utility sector within investment grade fixed hurt results as investors favored higher yielding issues.The fund’s technology holdings detracted from results as they did not keep pace with other industries.

The fund outperformed in the third quarter’s “risk on” environment that resulted from further quantitative easing programs announced by theFederal Reserve and the European Central Bank.The fund remains underweight to government-related securities, and is positioned with an overweight to TIPS, an underweight to nominaltreasuries, and an overweight to the “belly of the curve” (6-10 year maturities) while being underweight short and long term maturities.The fund is positioned with an underweight position to investment grade credit, but remains overweight to financials due to 15 of the largest 19U.S. banks passing PIMCO’s most stringent (and unlikely) stress testing scenario, which includes a 13% unemployment rate, a 50% drop inequity markets, and a 21% reduction in home prices.Although the fund is underweight credit, PIMCO views the fund’s tactical positions in municipal bonds and “Build America Bonds” as substitutes to credit that are trading at more attractive yield spreads above treasuries than other traditional investment grade credits.The fund’s foreign holdings remain in Canadian, Mexican and Brazilian issues, but the fund also started purchasing Italian sovereign bondsduring the quarter due to the ECB’s support for euro-denominated sovereign bonds.

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND
The fund utilizes a bottom-up, fundamental, value-oriented approach to analyze the issuer's business prospectus, management, capitalrequirements, capital structure, enterprise value, and security structure and covenants. Credit analysts focusing solely on high yield havesignificant influence on buy/sell decisions, industry weighting, and risk profile within an industry. The analysts keep a performance rating on eachindustry they follow, which determines relative weightings in the portfolio. Relative positions within each industry in terms of credit quality alsoresult from analyst ratings. Management may shift from weaker to stronger credits and from cyclical to non-cyclical sectors if they believe the
economic environment will weaken and vice versa if they believe the economy will strengthen.

During the third quarter, security selection in the basic materials and utilities sectors detracted. At the industry level, an underweight position toutilities issuers along with an overweight position in transportation credits also negatively impacted returns.On the positive side, security selection in the capital goods, communications, consumer cyclicals, consumer non-cyclicals, energy and financialservices sectors contributed positively. At the industry level, underweighting basic materials, capital goods and consumer non-cyclicals issuerswas also positive.

The fund underperformed modestly during the quarter as overweights to Brazil and Mexico underperformed modestly, and underweights tostrong performers Turkey and Hungary detracted from performance.Chinese exposure was scaled back slightly to reflect lower growth expectations.The fund remains overweight to local duration as yields are expected to decline as EM inflation concerns abate.An overweight to EM currencies is the result of PIMCO’s perception of weakness in the U.S. dollar and Euro given recent announcements of further quantitative easing.EM corporates continue to remain attractive in some areas when compared to their sovereign counterparts, specifically in areas like Russiawhere barriers to local market access exist.

Positioning within information technology contributed positively during the fourth quarter. Finland-based Nokia surged 53% amid favorable newsfor its new Lumina smartphone and optimism over the company’s expansion plans in China.Within financials, higher quality lending-oriented banks which are beneficiaries of stable-to-slightly rising U.S. housing prices, aided results.Performing particularly well was Bank of America, which rallied 32% during the quarter.Elsewhere, the fund’s positioning within the consumer discretionary space aided results. Notable contributors were media-related holdings.Comcast advanced 5% after posting better-than-expected subscriber growth and higher average revenue per user. Time Warner alsocontributed positively, rising 6%.On the negative side, holdings within the energy and industrial-related sectors detracted. Conglomerate General Electric fell 7% after earningsmissed expectations.GE reported that order growth had slowed as businesses remained cautious.

The DFA Small Cap Value fund outperformed its benchmark for the quarter in part due to relative outperformance from market-cap weighting.Both a relatively higher allocation to large and micro cap stocks, respectively, contributed to relative performance.The strongest-performing sectors in the quarter were energy, materials, consumer staples, and consumer discretionary. The portfolio generatednearly all of its relative outperformance over the quarter on the back of strong stock selection within each of these sectors.Not having exposure within telecommunication services detracted from relative results, as the sector was a market leader over the quarter.

Negative stock selection effects in every sector other than technology detracted from relative performance over the quarter.The largest contributing stock for the quarter was Bottomline Technologies, a developer of banking and payment software services for financialinstitutions. The company has been transitioning to a cloud-based delivery of its software, which has significantly boosted revenue growth.Positive stock selection within technology, however, was largely mitigated by an unfavorable significant overweight to the sector.Energy and healthcare were the largest sector laggards over the quarter.Within healthcare, several positions lagged the benchmark, including Quality Systems Inc. (QSII); Neogen Corp. (NEOG) and MeridianBioscience Inc. (VIVO). Conestoga sold QSII in early October after reviewing the results of a proxy battle over board positions.The strategy’s three positions in the energy sector all suffered modestly from declines in natural gas prices.The weakest stock in the portfolio from a contribution to return standpoint was Raven Industries Inc., a Sioux Falls, SD-based mini-conglomerate.

The fund’s holdings of firms domiciled in theemerging markets was also positive, particularly India and South Korea. However, the fund was held back by a relatively low concentration of companies located in Australia and Singapore.From a sector perspective, limited exposure to utility companies was beneficial since firms in this sector lagged the broader market, but a
cautious stance in the financial services sector detracted from overall results.Among individual contributors, Canadian oil producer Nexen rallied after it received a takeover bid. Among financials, U.K. bank Barclays and India’s Housing Development Finance were positive contributors. However, in the telecom sector, Mexican provider America Movil detractedafter reporting disappointing results. Hong Kong-based trading and logistics group Li & Fung struggled following the release of weak results,which indicated that it was being affected by the slowdown in global demand.

FUND OBJECTIVE
QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND
The fund seeks to invest in high quality companies when they are trading at a discounted price. High quality companies are defined as those withrecurring revenue growth, a quality management team, a “core” business, and strong balance sheet. Fundamental research is conducted byAberdeen's global team to understand the growth prospects of the firm and the quality of the financials. The valuation metrics used are determined by the type of company and its economic sector. Within risk controls, portfolios are constructed on a bottom-up basis using a very long-termoutlook that has led to a low turnover rate, but can also produce higher tracking error. The portfolio will typically hold 50 - 70 securities. Expensecap of 0.95% expires on 11/23/11. Expenses after 11/23 will reflect actual fees capped at 1.10% through 2/27/13 (reviewed annually thereafter).Actual fees were 1.05% for the year ending 10/31/10.

From a sector perspective, positioning in South Korea, Chile and Turkey detracted in the third quarter. In South Korea, an underweight position,coupled with negative stock selection, detracted from results. Notable decliners included BS Financial Group, E Mart and Shinsegae. In Chile,Banco Santander disappointed on the back of weak loan growth and reduced net margins.Meanwhile, the fund’s positioning in India (overweight), China (underweight) and Thailand proved positive to overall results. Among the fund’sThai holdings, Siam Cement and Siam Commercial Bank posted solid returns. Exposure to non-Index Argentina also aided results as Tenarisrallied on the back of strong revenues and a continued recovery in margins.

The portfolio had a flat return for the quarter and modestly underperformed its benchmark.Top advancing sectors, relative to the benchmark, were office, net lease and community centers.A almost 3% overweight in National Retail Properties Inc., a net lease REIT, was the primary driver of outperformance in a sector that posted the second strongest absolute returns within the asset class.Malls and health care REITs were the two primary areas of relative underperformance for the quarter. A 6% underweight to healthcare REITsnegatively impacted results as the sector modestly outperformed the broader benchmark.An overweight to the underperforming apartments sector was a top detractor from results.Small out of index allocations produced solid gains across infrastructure, international REITs and healthcare operators.

FUND OBJECTIVE
QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND
The fund combines a position in commodity-linked derivative instruments, primarily swaps through an offshore subsidiary, with an actively
managed portfolio principally consisting of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). The derivatives only require the fund to hold around 15%
of its assets as collateral. The commodity-linked derivatives capture the return potential and diversification benefits of the commodity futures
market, while PIMCO's active fixed income management seeks to outperform T-Bills, net of fees. The strategy has the added advantage of
benefiting concurrently from the inflation hedging properties of both commodity futures and TIPS (Double Real).

Driven by a variety of factors, the fund significantly outperformed its benchmark for the quarter.TIPs collateral outperformed the T-Bills collateral within the index. However, a preference for the middle of the TIPS curve while beingunderweight TIPS overall limited gains.As a whole, commodity alpha strategies, particularly substitution trades, produced positive results over the quarter. However, long positions in soybeans vs. corn negatively impacted results.Noteworthy profits came from exposure to Australian inflation-linked bonds, non-agency mortgages and Brazil.Going forward, the fund will continue to be defensively positioned with a neutral duration position and a focus on intermediate maturity TIPS.

Grosvenor Institutional Partners (“GIP”) is a globally diversified, multi-strategy, multi-manager portfolio that allocates its assets to hedge fundmanagers that specialize in a wide range of alternative investment strategies. GIP has two primary investment objectives: to provide its investorswith a superior long-term, risk-adjusted rate of return and to preserve capital. The Fund will allocate to approximately 40 managers.
Six out of eight sub-strategies delivered positive quarterly results as most funds produced solid gains.Structured credit and RMBS positions drove outperformance within credit and multi-strategy. Positive market technicals and another LehmanBrothers bankruptcy distribution contributed to results.Equity managers produced muted results while continuing to increase net exposures. Strong results within healthcare, telecommunications andfinancials were offset by hedges and deep value positions.Macro was the leading detractor from relative performance due to short Euro and systematic relative value trades within commodities.Following a strategic review after the quarter, Grosvenor streamlined and reorganized the team to better reflect the current and future opportunityset.

Magnitude International is a globally diversified multi-strategy FOHF which targets attractive risk-adjusted returns with limited exposure to passive
risk factors. Management displays a quantitative, arbitrage and relative value bias and will evaluate “corners of the market” for small positions.
All strategies contributed positively during the quarter with only cash marginally detracting from results.The Fund benefited from an overweight to credit relative value. The strategy continued to be the primary portfolio driver as each manager generated quarterly gains. The Fund’s top contributor returned over 10%, benefiting from RMBS exposure.Distressed was the second largest contributor driven by a wide range of exposures including profits from Greek bonds and several liquidationevents.Equity hedge generated a modest return overall with underlying managers delivering mixed results. The team expects to increase the strategy’sallocation over the next few quarters.A less than 1% allocation to a trading strategy produced a noteworthy loss as the fund was impacted negatively by exposure to Midwest weather contracts.During the quarter, the firm added Kristen Clark and Jessica Waring to the operations team and Alfredo Ramirez as an Associate on the portfoliomanagement team.

DEFINITION OF KEY STATISTICS
Returns Time-weighted average annual returns for the time periods indicated. Time weighted returns seek to eliminate the impact of external cash flows on the rate of return calculations. All returns are annualized if the period for which they are calculated exceeds one year.
Universe Comparison The universe compares the fund's returns to a group of other investment portfolios with similar investment strategies. The returns for the fund, the index and the universe percentiles are displayed. A percentile ranking of 1 is the best, while a percentile ranking of 100 is the worst. For example, a ranking of 50 indicates the fund outperformed half of the universe. A ranking of 25 indicates the fund was in the top 25% of the universe, outperforming 75%.
Returns In Up/Down Markets This measures how the fund performed in both up and down markets. The methodology is to segregate the performance for each time period into the quarters in which the market, as defined by the index, was positive and negative. Quarters with negative index returns are treated as down markets, and quarters with positive index returns are treated as up markets. Thus, in a 3 year or 12 quarter period, there might be 4 down quarters and 8 up quarters. A simple arithmetic average of returns is calculated for the fund and the index based on the up quarters. A simple arithmetic average of returns is calculated for the fund and the index based on the down quarters. The up market capture ratio is the ratio of the fund's return in up markets to the index. The down market capture ratio is the ratio of the fund's return in down markets to the index. Ideally, the fund would have a greater up market capture ratio than down market capture ratio.
Standard Deviation Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the range of performance within which the total returns of a fund fall. When a fund has a high standard deviation, the range of performance is very wide, meaning there is a greater volatility. Approximately 68% of the time, the total return of any given fund will differ from the average total return by no more than plus or minus the standard deviation figure. Ninety-five percent of the time, a fund’s total return will be within a range of plus or minus two times the standard deviation from the average total return. If the quarterly or monthly returns are all the same the standard deviation will be zero. The more they vary from one another, the higher the standard deviation. Standard deviation can be misleading as a risk indicator for funds with high total returns because large positive deviations will increase the standard deviation without a corresponding increase in the risk of the fund. While positive volatility is welcome, negative is not.
R-Squared This reflects the percentage of a fund’s movements that are explained by movements in its benchmark index. An R-squared of 100 means that all movements of a fund are completely explained by movements in the index. Conversely, a
low R-squared indicates very few of the fund’s movements are explained by movements in the benchmark index. R-squared can also be used to ascertain the significance of a particular beta. Generally, a higher R-squared will indicate a more reliable beta figure. If the R-squared is lower, then the beta is less relevant to the fund’s performance. A measure of diversification, R-squared indicates the extent to which fluctuations in portfolio returns are explained by market. An R-squared = 0.70 implies that 70% of the fluctuation in a portfolio's return is explained by the fluctuation in the market. In this instance, overweighting or underweighting of industry groups or individual securities is responsible for 30% of the fund's movement.
Beta This is a measure of a fund’s market risk. The beta of the market is 1.00. Accordingly, a fund with a 1.10 beta is expected to perform 10% better than the market in up markets and 10% worse that the market in down markets. It is
important to note, however, a low fund beta does not imply the fund has a low level of volatility; rather, a low beta means only that the fund’s market-related risk is low. Because beta analyzes the market risk of a fund by showing how responsive the fund is to the market, its usefulness depends on the degree to which the markets determine the fund's total risk (indicated by R-squared ).
Alpha The Alpha is the nonsystematic return, or the return that can’t be attributed to the market. It can be thought of as how the manager performed if the market’s return was zero. A positive alpha implies the manager added value to the return of the portfolio over that of the market. A negative alpha implies the manager did not contribute any value over the performance of the market.
Sharpe Ratio The Sharpe ratio is the excess return per unit of total risk as measured by standard deviation. Higher numbers are better, indicating more return for the level of risk experienced. The ratio is a fund's return minus the risk-free rate of return
(30-day T-Bill rate) divided by the fund’s standard deviation. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the more reward you are receiving per unit of total risk. This measure can be used to rank the performance of mutual funds or other portfolios.
Treynor Ratio The Treynor ratio measures returns earned in excess of that which could have been earned on a riskless investment per each unit of market risk. The ratio relates excess return over the risk-free rate to the additional risk taken; however, systematic risk is used instead of total risk. The Treynor ratio is similar to the Sharpe ratio, except in the fact that it uses the beta to evaluate the returns rather than the standard deviation of portfolio returns. High values mean better return for risk taken.
Tracking Error Tracking error measures the volatility of the difference in annual returns between the manager and the index. This value is calculated by measuring the standard deviation of the difference between the manager and index returns. For example, a tracking error of +/- 5 would mean there is about a 68% chance (1 standard deviation event) that the manager's returns will fall within +/- 5% of the benchmark's annual return.
Information Ratio The information ratio is a measure of the consistency of excess return. This value is determined by taking the annualized excess return over a benchmark (style benchmark by default) and dividing it by the standard deviation of excess return.
Consistency Consistency shows the percent of the periods the fund has beaten the index and the percent of the periods the index has beat the fund. A high average for the fund (e.g. over 50) is desirable, indicating the fund has beaten the index frequently.
Downside Risk Downside risk is a measure similar to standard deviation, but focuses only on the negative movements of the return series. It is calculated by taking the standard deviation of the negative quarterly set of returns. The higher the factor, the riskier the product.
M-Squared M-squared, or the Modigliani risk-adjusted performance measure is used to characterize how well a portfolio’s return rewards an investor for the amount of risk taken, relative to that of some benchmark portfolio and to the risk-free rate.
