Our investment philosophy

Our investment philosophy, rooted in academia and nurtured by real world experience, is designed to
provide "optimal" before and after tax returns to investors. We use the term "optimal" because our
investment philosophy has at its origin the widely accepted Modern Portfolio Theory, whose theory
says that for every level of risk an investor is willing to assume there is an optimal asset allocation that
is expected to produce the highest result.

We also subscribe to The Efficient Market Hypothesis which proposes that security markets are
efficient at distributing and incorporating information into security prices. Therefore the theory asserts
that no one can predict accurately over a statistically significant period of time, changes in stock
prices.

We also believe that taxes matter and utilize ETFs in our accounts due to their tax efficiency. We also
use ETFs because not only because they carry low expense ratios but because they trade their
securities infrequently and incur very little in the way of internal commission costs.




                                                                                                               6
Asset classes and categories

Asset allocation is the primary determinant of a portfolios return and EMA’s investment philosophy
emphasizes top down, macroeconomic research in creating an active asset allocation strategy. This
strategy is implemented through fifteen unique time and risk based portfolios. Passive security selection is
the use of an index based vehicle to gain diversified exposure to a desired asset class or category.

We use the following asset classes and categories may include:


  Equities (stocks): U.S. or foreign: large cap, mid      Alternative Investments (absolute return):
  cap, small cap, real estate investment trusts,          Commodities, precious metals, currencies,
  sector or industry as well as emerging markets          timber, agriculture, managed futures, hedge
                                                          fund replication, arbitrage and others
  Fixed Income (bonds): Investment grade, high
  yield, preferred stocks foreign or domestic             Cash: Money market and bank deposit
  government and agency bonds emerging market             accounts
  bonds




                                                                                                          7
Our investment process
Our investment process contains strategic, tactical and opportunistic elements. We emphasize top down,
macroeconomic research in creating an active asset allocation strategy. This strategy is implemented
through fifteen unique time and risk based portfolios.

                                                                 Tactical

Our investment process




                         9
Our strategic asset allocation approach

Strategic asset allocation considers an investor’s time horizon and the historical interrelation of asset
class prices irrespective of the current macro economic environment or the state of the business cycle. We
use this historical perspective to create the base upon which our investment thesis and opinions are
implemented.


Optimize Core Asset Class Weightings
 • Time horizon
 • Historical asset class performance & correlations
     • Stocks
     • Bonds
     • Alternatives
     • Cash

 • No consideration given to economic or market view
 • Pure “mathematical optimization”
 • Problems with a purely strategic approach
     • Statistically significant data set not available
     • Rules and definitions change over time, data not “ceteris paribus”




                                                                                                             10
Our tactical asset allocation approach

Tactical asset allocation is the process whereby a money manager implements their macroeconomic view by
adjusting upward or downward the various asset class weightings in a portfolio. We use a top down approach which
considers multiple variables including relative valuation, economic cycle positioning, interest rate spreads, monetary
and fiscal policy, political factors, yield curve analyses, industry and sector valuations.

Enact marginal changes around long term strategic weights for each “Time Horizon Portfolio”



  Equity Allocation                     Alternative Investments                  Fixed Income Allocation
  2. Cycle state analyses               2. Commodity valuation                   2. Yield curve analyses
  3. Relative valuation                 3. Return expectation in                 3. Credit quality analyses
                                           traditional asset classes
  4. Domestic vs.                                                                4. Inflation expectations
     international                      4. Currency expectations
                                                                                 5. Spread analyses
  5. REIT valuations                    5. Merger arbitrage




                                                                                                                  11
Opportunistic investing

Opportunistic investing recognizes that unexpected events occur periodically in capital markets.
These events generally manifest themselves in the form of an extreme over or under valuation of an
asset class, sector of industry. EMA believes there is an opportunity to add “alpha” or “value” to an
investor’s portfolio by maintaining sufficient flexibility and the willingness to act when such scenarios
present themselves.

Small “bets” around market dislocation or severe over/under valuation of an asset class

 • Took REIT weight to zero
    • Extreme valuation resulting from leveraged buyout frenzy

 • Took commodity weight to zero
    • Extreme valuation resulting form emerging market demand and oil hype

 • Sector Bet
    • Homebuilders extremely oversold

 • Preferred stocks in credit crisis
 • High yield when spreads widened to record levels
 • Rebalanced off cycle and added to equity weight during extreme market selloff




                                                                                                            12
Our portfolios

EMA has 15 Efficient Market Portfolios models, all of which have been constructed using Modern
Portfolio theory and sophisticated financial modeling software. Target weightings of each asset class
have been determined using a complex mathematical technique known as optimization. Model
portfolios may change periodically as additional asset class performance data is included in our
optimization process.

Five time horizon portfolios with three “tilts”

 • Taking Income          Conservative, Moderate or Aggressive

 • 2-5 Years              Conservative, Moderate or Aggressive

 • 6-10 Years             Conservative, Moderate or Aggressive

 • 11-19 Years            Conservative, Moderate or Aggressive

 • 20 Plus Years          Conservative, Moderate or Aggressive




                                                                                                        13
Rebalancing

One critical component to success in investing many believe is to follow the age-old maxim "buy low
and sell high". Rebalancing is the process of selling portions of ones investment in a particular asset
class or security that has grown as a percentage of the portfolio to a level beyond its intended or
target allocation. Proceeds from the sale are used to buy additional portions in another asset class or
security that has fallen below its intended target allocation. For many investors, this means a
smoother ride towards their financial goals making the process of investing less emotional. Not only
can rebalancing between asset classes and investment styles reduce your portfolios volatility it may
also enhance it's returns over time.

Disclosure
The composite figures illustrated represent the returns only for the time periods indicated. These returns reflect the actual
investment results of a composite of clients participating in the asset allocation program. Returns shown reflect reinvestment of
all dividends and interest. Accounts less than $25,000, or with custom non model holdings or significant cash flow events are
not included in the composite. All accounts not included in this composite are in the composite Managed Account. Managed
Account results are available on request. Accounts are first added to the composite the month after the first complete month of
management by EMA. All investments, including investments in the mutual funds in the managed accounts, involve the risk of
potential investment losses as well as the potential for investment gains. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and
there can be no assurance, and clients should not assume, that future performance of any of the managed accounts will be
comparable to past performance. The performance of the managed accounts should be viewed in the context of the broad
market and general economic conditions prevailing during the periods covered by the performance information. Standard
Deviation- A measurement of dispersion about an average, depicting how widely a stock or portfolio’s returns varied over a
certain period of time. Used by investors to try to predict the range of returns that is most likely for a given investment. When an
investment or portfolio has a high standard deviation, the predicted range of performance is wide, and implies greater volatility.
Beta-The measure of an asset or portfolio’s sensitivity to the market as a whole. A beta of 1.10 shows that the asset or portfolio
has performed 10% better than its benchmark in up markets and 10% worse in down markets, assuming all other factors remain
constant. Conversely, a beta of 0.85 indicates that the asset or portfolio’s excess return is expected to perform 15% worse than
the benchmark’s excess return during up markets and 15% better during down markets. Beta performance is since inception of
the managed account. The performance numbers reported is not a solicitation to buy or sell securities, nor does it make any
claim to the suitability of the investment strategy for the individual. Securities prices may vary dramatically over time and results
will vary due to changing economic or market conditions. There is no guarantee that results will prove profitable. Actual client
results are impacted by start and end dates, withdrawals, additional deposits, and any charges imposed by the investment
custodian, which may materially affect client performance returns. Investing may involve risk including loss of principal.
Investment returns, particularly over shorter time periods are highly dependent on trends in the various investment markets.
Investment management services are generally suitable for long-term investment objectives or strategies, rather than for short-
term trading purposes. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the underlying funds
that make up the managed accounts carefully before investing. Prospectuses or offering documents contain this and other
important information about the fund. Please call your financial advisor to obtain the prospectuses of the current underlying
funds. Prospectuses should be read carefully before investing. For current month end performance numbers please contact our

general.

Know the differences
ETFs and mutual funds each hold baskets of securities. ETFs trade on exchanges intraday at market price, which may be greater or less than net asset
value. Shares of ETFs are not individually redeemed from the fund. Transactions in shares of ETFs result in brokerage commissions and generate tax
consequences. Index ETFs are passively managed; they seek to track a market index, before fees and expenses, and do not attempt to outperform during
rising or declining markets. ETF performance may diverge from the ETF's underlying index. Mutual funds are accessed directly from the fund company or
through a select broker, pricing generally occurs once a day, and investors buy or redeem shares at the end-of-day net asset value, less any applicable
fees. Some mutual funds may charge sales loads or redemption fees. Active mutual funds seek to outperform their benchmark while the goal of index
mutual funds is to track their index. Consequently, active funds typically charge more than index-linked products for the increased trading and research
expenses that may be incurred. Mutual funds and ETFs are obliged to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Diversification and asset allocation may not protect
against market risk.

Investment comparisons are for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to be all-inclusive. To better understand the similarities and differences
between investments, including investment objectives, risks, fees, and expenses, it is important to read the products’ prospectuses'.

  • 2. Firm overview Efficient Market Advisors, LLC is a SEC-registered, separate account management firm that constructs investment portfolios using Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). We are 100% employee owned and serve high net worth investors, trusts, foundations, retirement plans and institutions. Founded in 2004 for the sole purpose of managing ETF based separate accounts, we boast one of the longest pure ETF track records in the investment management industry. We utilize both in-house and third-party research to construct ETF portfolios and believe that ETFs offer investors highly diversified asset class exposure that is transparent, liquid, low cost and tax efficient. Our mission is to deliver superior investment returns over full market cycles through the implementation of our proprietary asset allocation process. 2

  • 4. EMA is frequently quoted in the media "Efficient Market Advisors dominated the managed ETF us balanced universe" - informa investment solutions April 20, 2011. 4
  • 5. Principal Biographies Herb W. Morgan, President and Chief Investment Officer Mr. Morgan founded and has served as the President and Chief Investment Officer since the firm’s inception in 2004.

Appointed by the Mayor, Mr. Morgan also serves as President of the Board of Administration of the San Diego City Employees Retirement System.

  • 6. Our investment philosophy Our investment philosophy, rooted in academia and nurtured by real world experience, is designed to provide "optimal" before and after tax returns to investors. We use the term "optimal" because our investment philosophy has at its origin the widely accepted Modern Portfolio Theory, whose theory says that for every level of risk an investor is willing to assume there is an optimal asset allocation that is expected to produce the highest result. We also subscribe to The Efficient Market Hypothesis which proposes that security markets are efficient at distributing and incorporating information into security prices. Therefore the theory asserts that no one can predict accurately over a statistically significant period of time, changes in stock prices. We also believe that taxes matter and utilize ETFs in our accounts due to their tax efficiency. We also use ETFs because not only because they carry low expense ratios but because they trade their securities infrequently and incur very little in the way of internal commission costs. 6
  • 7. Asset classes and categories Asset allocation is the primary determinant of a portfolios return and EMA’s investment philosophy emphasizes top down, macroeconomic research in creating an active asset allocation strategy. This strategy is implemented through fifteen unique time and risk based portfolios. Passive security selection is the use of an index based vehicle to gain diversified exposure to a desired asset class or category.

  • 8. Our investment process Our investment process contains strategic, tactical and opportunistic elements. We emphasize top down, macroeconomic research in creating an active asset allocation strategy. This strategy is implemented through fifteen unique time and risk based portfolios. Opportunistic Tactical Strategic Tactical 8
  • 10. Our strategic asset allocation approach Strategic asset allocation considers an investor’s time horizon and the historical interrelation of asset class prices irrespective of the current macro economic environment or the state of the business cycle. We use this historical perspective to create the base upon which our investment thesis and opinions are implemented. Optimize Core Asset Class Weightings • Time horizon • Historical asset class performance & correlations • Stocks • Bonds • Alternatives • Cash • No consideration given to economic or market view • Pure “mathematical optimization” • Problems with a purely strategic approach • Statistically significant data set not available • Rules and definitions change over time, data not “ceteris paribus” 10
  • 11. Our tactical asset allocation approach Tactical asset allocation is the process whereby a money manager implements their macroeconomic view by adjusting upward or downward the various asset class weightings in a portfolio. We use a top down approach which considers multiple variables including relative valuation, economic cycle positioning, interest rate spreads, monetary and fiscal policy, political factors, yield curve analyses, industry and sector valuations.

  • 12. Opportunistic investing Opportunistic investing recognizes that unexpected events occur periodically in capital markets. These events generally manifest themselves in the form of an extreme over or under valuation of an asset class, sector of industry. EMA believes there is an opportunity to add “alpha” or “value” to an investor’s portfolio by maintaining sufficient flexibility and the willingness to act when such scenarios present themselves. Small “bets” around market dislocation or severe over/under valuation of an asset class • Took REIT weight to zero • Extreme valuation resulting from leveraged buyout frenzy • Took commodity weight to zero • Extreme valuation resulting form emerging market demand and oil hype • Sector Bet • Homebuilders extremely oversold • Preferred stocks in credit crisis • High yield when spreads widened to record levels • Rebalanced off cycle and added to equity weight during extreme market selloff 12
  • 13. Our portfolios EMA has 15 Efficient Market Portfolios models, all of which have been constructed using Modern Portfolio theory and sophisticated financial modeling software. Target weightings of each asset class have been determined using a complex mathematical technique known as optimization. Model portfolios may change periodically as additional asset class performance data is included in our optimization process. Five time horizon portfolios with three “tilts” • Taking Income Conservative, Moderate or Aggressive • 2-5 Years Conservative, Moderate or Aggressive • 6-10 Years Conservative, Moderate or Aggressive • 11-19 Years Conservative, Moderate or Aggressive • 20 Plus Years Conservative, Moderate or Aggressive 13
  • 14. Rebalancing One critical component to success in investing many believe is to follow the age-old maxim "buy low and sell high". Rebalancing is the process of selling portions of ones investment in a particular asset class or security that has grown as a percentage of the portfolio to a level beyond its intended or target allocation. Proceeds from the sale are used to buy additional portions in another asset class or security that has fallen below its intended target allocation. For many investors, this means a smoother ride towards their financial goals making the process of investing less emotional. Not only can rebalancing between asset classes and investment styles reduce your portfolios volatility it may also enhance it's returns over time. 14

  • 16. Composite performance (period ended January 31, 2012) 16
  • 17. Disclosure The composite figures illustrated represent the returns only for the time periods indicated. These returns reflect the actual investment results of a composite of clients participating in the asset allocation program. Returns shown reflect reinvestment of all dividends and interest. Accounts less than $25,000, or with custom non model holdings or significant cash flow events are not included in the composite. All accounts not included in this composite are in the composite Managed Account. Managed Account results are available on request. Accounts are first added to the composite the month after the first complete month of management by EMA. All investments, including investments in the mutual funds in the managed accounts, involve the risk of potential investment losses as well as the potential for investment gains. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and there can be no assurance, and clients should not assume, that future performance of any of the managed accounts will be comparable to past performance. The performance of the managed accounts should be viewed in the context of the broad market and general economic conditions prevailing during the periods covered by the performance information. Standard Deviation- A measurement of dispersion about an average, depicting how widely a stock or portfolio’s returns varied over a certain period of time. Used by investors to try to predict the range of returns that is most likely for a given investment. When an investment or portfolio has a high standard deviation, the predicted range of performance is wide, and implies greater volatility. Beta-The measure of an asset or portfolio’s sensitivity to the market as a whole. A beta of 1.10 shows that the asset or portfolio has performed 10% better than its benchmark in up markets and 10% worse in down markets, assuming all other factors remain constant. Conversely, a beta of 0.85 indicates that the asset or portfolio’s excess return is expected to perform 15% worse than the benchmark’s excess return during up markets and 15% better during down markets. Beta performance is since inception of the managed account. The performance numbers reported is not a solicitation to buy or sell securities, nor does it make any claim to the suitability of the investment strategy for the individual. Securities prices may vary dramatically over time and results will vary due to changing economic or market conditions. There is no guarantee that results will prove profitable. Actual client results are impacted by start and end dates, withdrawals, additional deposits, and any charges imposed by the investment custodian, which may materially affect client performance returns. Investing may involve risk including loss of principal. Investment returns, particularly over shorter time periods are highly dependent on trends in the various investment markets. Investment management services are generally suitable for long-term investment objectives or strategies, rather than for short- term trading purposes. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the underlying funds that make up the managed accounts carefully before investing. Prospectuses or offering documents contain this and other important information about the fund. Please call your financial advisor to obtain the prospectuses of the current underlying funds. Prospectuses should be read carefully before investing. For current month end performance numbers please contact our office at 888-327-4600. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged group of securities considered to be representative of the market in general. 17

  • 19. Disclosure Know the differences ETFs and mutual funds each hold baskets of securities. ETFs trade on exchanges intraday at market price, which may be greater or less than net asset value. Shares of ETFs are not individually redeemed from the fund. Transactions in shares of ETFs result in brokerage commissions and generate tax consequences. Index ETFs are passively managed; they seek to track a market index, before fees and expenses, and do not attempt to outperform during rising or declining markets. ETF performance may diverge from the ETF's underlying index. Mutual funds are accessed directly from the fund company or through a select broker, pricing generally occurs once a day, and investors buy or redeem shares at the end-of-day net asset value, less any applicable fees. Some mutual funds may charge sales loads or redemption fees. Active mutual funds seek to outperform their benchmark while the goal of index mutual funds is to track their index. Consequently, active funds typically charge more than index-linked products for the increased trading and research expenses that may be incurred. Mutual funds and ETFs are obliged to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Diversification and asset allocation may not protect against market risk. Investment comparisons are for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to be all-inclusive. To better understand the similarities and differences between investments, including investment objectives, risks, fees, and expenses, it is important to read the products’ prospectuses'. 19

  1. ETFs have experienced tremendous growth, more than doubling in AUM since 2005 and approaching nearly 1000 products. As the chart shows, ETF assets increased to over $ 1 trillion at the end of 2010, representing a compounded 5-year annual growth rate of about 20 percent per year. ETFs have become the growth engine of the fund industry.           ETFs represent roughly 11.3% of the U.S. fund industry in terms of AUM. (source: Strategic Insight, and BlackRock; as of 12/31/10) •           For the 12-month period ending 2010, ETFs captured 30% of all fund (ETF & MF) flows. (Source: Strategic Insight and BlackRock) •           ETF flows increased by 6% in 2010 vs 2009, while Mutual Fund Flows decreased by 6%. (Source: Strategic Insight and BlackRock) •           Over 28% of all equity trades on U.S. exchanges are comprised of exchange-traded funds (Source: NYSE Arca, FactSet, and BlackRock). The resilience, growth, and volume of interest in ETFs - despite market volatility - speaks to the breadth and depth of exposure available through ETFs and their applications. Today, ETFs offer access to nearly any asset class or targeted segment of the market – in a cost-effective, tax-efficient way.
