The Boston Company Asset Management LLC
U.S. Market Environment at Fund’s Launch • The U.S. market correction that began in March and continued into April spurred a rotation away from 2013’s leaders.
• Correlations rose during the rotation into defensive names (primarily Energy, Utilities and Consumer Staples), absent any
fundamental changes.
• Growth stocks were affected by headline events, such as cold weather, Fed tapering, the Russia/Ukraine conflict, but the decline still had no fundamental basis.
• Sentiment and valuation drove the decline, with biotech, retailers, social media and technology among the hardest hit. The Boston Company’s Reaction • We reduced risk and repositioned into fundamentally stronger companies with less valuation risk.
• We favored cheaper beneficiaries with current fundamental tailwinds, such as Apple and UnitedHealth Group. Into the summer • We bought/added to growth stocks that were more attractively valued and sold stocks with potentially extended valuations.
• We also identified new opportunities that benefited, especially as the market broadened out.
• Notable sectors of activity were Consumer, Industrials, Health Care and Technology.
No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Statements made herein reflect the current opinion of The Boston Company Asset Management, LLC and are subject to change.

2014 so far
Investment roadmap views stand firm
Investment Theme True? Year to date
US and UK outperformance Global growth momentum is positive led by US and UK signalling higher rates
ECB Policy Error Downward pressures remain, ECB is yet to implement monetary policy
Emerging market differentiation is key Currency volatility declining, local rates
attractive
FX as a monetary policy tool ECB has yet to act, strength of the Euro stifling growth
Source: Schroders
THEMES WE ARE LOOKING TO EXPLOIT
Trade expression
Investment Theme Trade Rationale YTD Performance
US and UK outperformance
Underweight duration in the US/UK
Global growth increasing, inflation increasing, allocate duration away from US/UK into Europe
ECB Policy Error
Tactical exposure to periphery, country allocation of US/UK into Europe, short EUR
Peripheral spreads have tightened, positioned to benefit if ECB does finally act on strength of EUR
Emerging market differentiation is key
Long select EM currencies
“Former fragile five” continue improving, offering investment opportunities
FX as a monetary policy tool Long USD vs. short EUR
Strength of the EUR remains too strong, the ECB will need to act to weaken the currency

FUND STRATEGY - SEPTEMBER 2014
What we like
o Corporate bonds spreads are historically around average
o But still represent better risk/return than Gilts
What we don’t like
o The UK economy is recovering
o Interest rates will need to normalise should this performance continue
How we are positioned
o The UK Bond fund is invested with less Gilts and a lower duration than the benchmark
o Allocation to Gilts is around 10% less than the benchmark
o Offset by an overweight to cash and corporate bonds
