Reporting Procedures

The following may be implemented when evaluating performance reporting:

• Our custodian shall provide the investor with a statement no less than monthly that lists all assets held by the investor, values for each asset and all transactions affecting assets within the portfolio, including additions and withdrawals.
• The investor may receive no less frequently than on a quarterly basis and within 30 days within the end of each such quarter the following management reports:
• Portfolio performance results over the last quarter, year, 3 years and 5 years.
• Performance results of comparative benchmarks for the same periods.
• Performance shall be reported on a time-weighted and/or dollar-weighted rate of return basis.

Rebalancing Procedures

From time to time, market conditions may cause the portfolio’s investment in various asset classes to vary from the target allocation. To remain consistent with the asset allocation guidelines established, each asset class shall be reviewed regularly and may be rebalanced back to the recommended weighting if it varies significantly.

Rebalancing maintains the portfolio at the previously agreed upon risk/reward levels. Prior to rebalancing, consideration will be given to any tax implications and fees. When new money is being added to the portfolio, rebalancing can be accomplished by investing in asset classes requiring additional funds, while the remaining money to be invested will be allocated according to the established target percentages.
