"The fiduciary acts at all times for the sole benefit and interests of another, with loyalty

to those interests. A fiduciary must not put personal interests before that duty, and must not

be in a situation where his fiduciary duty to clients conflicts with a fiduciary duty to any

other entity."

- John Bogle, founder and former CEO of Vanguard

About Truepoint Inc.Who We Are

We believe in challenging the industry’s traditional model of wealth management

True advisory firms are in the minority

– Independent, unbiased advice necessitates a fee-only compensation model

– A client-first focus is most effectively achieved in a privately owned firm that is fully controlled

by the same professionals who actively deliver advice to clients

It is the integration of expertise in multiple financial specializations that produces the

most value

A narrow focus only on the investment portfolio sacrifices the significant opportunity to add

value through integrated financial management

The seamless coordination of expertise across areas such as investment management, tax

management, wealth planning and estate & trust services is most powerful

The investment industry often exploits human emotion and lack of consumer awareness

The industry is designed to give advice based on the belief that the very markets they trade in

do not work

The overarching flaw is the concept that someone can predict the future—all traditional Wall

Street-investment advice involves forecasting some future event

About Truepoint Inc.Our Core Beliefs

About Truepoint Inc.National Recognition

AdvisorOne– AdvisorOne magazine’s annual Top Wealth Managers listing has acknowledged

Truepoint as one of the nation's top 100 wealth managers since 2001.

Barron’s – Michael J. Chasnoff and Truepoint are named to Barron‟s 2008 and

2011 Top 100 Independent Financial Advisors listing.

Worth – Michael J. Chasnoff and Truepoint have been named to Worth‟s Top Wealth Advisors listing

thirteen times since 1994. Worth discontinued its ranking post its 2008 listing.

Medical Economics – Michael J. Chasnoff and Truepoint have been included on Medical Economics’

biennial Best Advisors for Doctors listing since 2002.

Financial Advisor – Truepoint has been repeatedly recognized in Financial

Advisor magazine’s Top RIA ranking.

Accounting Today – Accounting Today ranks Truepoint 15th in its Top Wealth Magnets listing in 2011.

This is the fourth year in a row that Truepoint has been named to this list.

Cincinnati –Cincinnati magazine named Truepoint advisors among a listing of the best wealth managers

in the city for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, as judged by client satisfaction ratings.

Third-party rankings and recognition from publications are no guarantee of future investment success. Working with a highly rated advisor does not ensure that a client or

prospective client will experience a higher level of performance or results. Generally, ratings, rankings and recognition are based on information prepared and submitted by the

advisor and not all investment advisors participate in the process. A more thorough disclosure of the criteria used in making these rankings is available through each publication.

Investment strategy should be rooted not in speculation, but rather in the science of

the capital markets

Decades of academic research and empirical data provide clear guidance for most

effectively capturing financial market returns

We focus on factors within the investor’s control

We focus on what works, versus what sells

We don’t speculate. We invest.

Our Investment PhilosophyBetter Investing Through Science

8

Conventional wisdom suggests that smart people, working diligently, can select stocks which are

mispriced by the market. These informed investors are also assumed to be able to time the market.

A study of the returns of 3,156 U.S. stock mutual funds from 1984 to 2006 generated these findings:

− Most funds achieving some of level of market outperformance did so simply by chance

− Only zero to 3% of active managers exhibit the skill sufficient to outperform

− Even if ―skilled‖ managers exist, they are indistinguishable on a forward-looking basis

Given the cost of active management, approximately three-quarters of investment managers have,

and will continue over the long-term, to underperform the overall market.

The Myth of Active ManagementFooled by Randomness

“Most investors, both institutional and individual, will find that the best way to own common stocks is through an index fund that

charges minimal fees. Those following this path are sure to beat the net results (after fees and expenses) delivered by the great majority of investment professionals.”

Warren Buffett

Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway

9

In the face of overwhelming evidence, why do investors keep playing a game they are likely to lose?

It is consistently encouraged by those who stand to profit the most—Wall Street and the

financial media

Investors are overconfident—a natural human condition not limited to investing

Active management is the triumph of hope over experience—but hope does spring eternal

Active investing is more exciting, and provides better cocktail chatter, than passive investing

The Myth of Active ManagementPlaying a Loser’s Game

“What‟s really quite remarkable in the investment world is that people are playing a game which, in some sense, cannot be played.

There are so many people out there in the market; the idea that any single individual without extra information or extra market

power can beat the market is extraordinarily unlikely.

“Yet the market is full of people who think they can do it and full of other people who believe them. This is one of the great mysteries of finance: Why do people believe they can do the impossible? And why do other people believe them?”

Daniel Kahneman

2002 Nobel Laureate (Economics)

Markets Work

– Prices reflect all available information and the aggregate opinion of market participants

– Prices move only in response to new information, which may be better or worse than expected

Diversification is Essential

– Diversification reduces uncertainty

– Concentrated investments add risk, with no additional expected return

Risk and Return are Related

– Exposure to meaningful risk factors determines expected return

– Asset allocation along size, value and market dimensions primarily determines the returns of a broadly

diversified portfolio

Control What You Can

– Maintain discipline and have a long-term view of investing

– Consider expenses and tax-efficiency of investment vehicles

The Behavior GapDiscipline is Critical to Success

Total returns are annualized and represent the 20-year period ending 12/31/10. Average Investor return is based on an analysis by Dalbar Inc., which utilizes the net of

aggregate mutual fund sales, redemptions and exchanges each month as a measure of investor behavior.

Investors often impair their returns through emotional reactions (fear or greed) to market performance

A 2009 study concluded that aggressive trading by individuals reduces returns by about 4% per year

“The investor’s chief problem—and even his worst enemy—is likely to be himself.”

Emotion over LogicBuying High and Selling Low

On average, investors repeatedly invest in stocks at high points, and sell at low points

“If you can plug your ears to every attempt (by anyone) to predict what the markets will do, you will outperform nearly every other investor alive over the long run. Only the mantra

of „don‟t know and, I don‟t care‟ will get you there.”

The 100/0 Portfolio Composite contains fully discretionary portfolios seeking extremely aggressive long-term growth while tolerating extreme fluctuations in market value, especially over the short-term.

Approximate neutral allocation of portfolios is 100% equity. Effective December 31, 2008, the minimum account size for this composite is $10,000. As of December 31, 2011, the three-year annualized

standard deviation for the 100/0 Portfolio Composite was 21.79%. The three-year annualized standard deviation for the 100/0 Benchmark was 21.01% through December 31, 2011.

For comparison purposes the composite is measured against the 100/0 Benchmark which consists of the following Morningstar categories: 45.00% Large Blend, 15.00% Small Blend, 18.00% Foreign Large

Blend, 6.00% Foreign Small/Mid Value, 6.00% Diversified Emerging Markets, 5.00% Global Real Estate, 5.00% Real Estate. The benchmark weighting is static. As of January 1, 2006, the benchmark return

is calculated annually, prior the benchmark return was calculated quarterly. As of January 1, 2009, the benchmark was revised with an increase in the foreign allocation to reflect the growth in foreign capital

markets (on April 1, 2009, the real estate segment was revised to include both Global Real Estate and Real Estate retroactive to January 1, 2009).

Truepoint is an independent, fee-only wealth management firm. Prior to December 31, 2003, the firm was known as Advanced Capital Strategies, Inc. The firm maintains a complete list and description of

composites, which is available upon request.

As of 12/31/2010, the composite contains 100% bundled fee accounts, prior to 2010 the composite did not contain any bundled fee accounts. Net Returns are presented net of the highest fee schedule and

include the reinvestment of all income.. Other than brokerage commissions this fee includes investment management and in some cases custodial services.

Results are based on fully discretionary accounts under management, including those accounts no longer with the firm. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

The U.S. Dollar is the currency used to express performance. Effective January 1, 2010, returns are presented net of a bundled fee composed of management and trading fees and include the reinvestment of

all income. Prior to this date, net of fee performance was calculated using the highest applicable annual investment management fee of 0.50% applied quarterly. Annual fees, including those as part of the

bundled fee arrangement, for investment advisory services are applied to portfolio values on a graduated basis as follows: amounts less than $5,000,000 = 0.50%; $5,000,001 to $10,000,000 = 0.40%;

$10,000,001 to $20,000,000 = 0.30%; amounts in excess of $20,000,000 = 0.25%. Different fee schedules apply for more comprehensive service offerings. The annual composite dispersion presented is an

asset-weighted standard deviation calculated for the accounts in the composite the entire year. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available

upon request.

The 100/0 Portfolio Composite was created January 1, 2001. Truepoint Inc. claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in

compliance with GIPS standards. Truepoint has been independently verified for the period January 1, 2001, through December 31, 2011. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the

composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis (2) the firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with GIPS standards.

The 100/0 Portfolio Composite has been examined for the period January 1, 2001, through December 31, 2011. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.

The 80/20 Portfolio Composite contains fully discretionary portfolios seeking aggressive long-term growth while tolerating wide fluctuations in market value, especially over the short-term. Approximate

neutral allocation of portfolios is 80% equity, 20% fixed income and cash. The minimum account size for this composite is $250,000. As of December 31, 2011, the annualized standard deviation for the
