CST ® Defined
CST is the acronym for our proprietary Core, Satellite, Tacticalportfolio management strategy.
Our CST strategy is very similar to that used by large endowments,foundations and pension plans. It brings a multi-dimensional view tothe role that each asset plays in a portfolio.
Today’sinvestment climatedemandsunconventionalthinking.
CST provides the framework for Global, Diversified portfolio construction.
September 11 3
Why did CST come about in the first place?
Most of our clients view the assets that we manage as their long-term,family nest egg.
Larger institutional investors, especially endowments (accountsdesigned to be managed in perpetuity] approach the market differently.
Because of our long experience in the market, we realize that the onlyway to create meaningful returns over time is to have a good plan, andstick to it in both good and bad markets.
There are lots of risks that are not captured in traditional models.Some of these risks include: Liquidity, transparency, exposure, leverage,time horizon, sector or industry concentration
We needed to find a structural way to keep clients from making manyof the mistakes that hurt their investment returns.
CST was developed toenhance traditional portfoliomanagement for clients whounderstand the long-termnature to their assets.

What is CST designed to do?
Commit the client to being an investor.
Use cutting-edge portfolio construction techniques.
Limit the amount of the portfolio dedicated to speculativeinvestments.
