Hilary Kramer’s ABSOLUTE CAPITAL RETURN PORTFOLIO

February 26, 2013

Yours at last…

  Front-row access to the abnormal profits, smoothed out returns, expert risk management, and PEACE OF MIND historically reserved for high-net-worth hedge fund investors…

 MINUS the steep investment minimums… exclusionary income/net worth requirements… and onerous “lock up” restrictions associated with traditional hedge funds.

Target Performance

 Absolute Positive Returns – Consistent, wealth-building returns of 15% to 20% annually – defending your wealth against dramatic sell-offs you’ve come to expect

  Lower portfolio volatility – Individual stock positions paired with long/short exchange-traded funds (ETFs), put and call options, commodities, currencies, and other alternative investments to hedge portfolio risk and smooth out returns

 Expert risk management – Achieved through a disciplined approach to portfolio construction and management, balancing short-term portfolio volatility, overall risk profile, and long-term total portfolio return

Our Comprehensive Investment Approach

Bottom up security analysis–

  Front-row access to the abnormal profits, smoothed out returns, expert risk management, and PEACE OF MIND historically reserved for high-net-worth hedge fund investors…

  Intense focus on management quality, industry leadership, business and financial strength, quality of earnings, competitive advantage, and long-term growth prospects.

  Fundamental: Thorough review of quality and valuation measures, including free cash-flow, enterprise value to EBITDA/EBIT, price to earnings, dividend yield, PGET, among other conventional and proprietary metrics.

  Technical: Thorough review of price history, volume, institutional and short interest, among other technical factors to identify optimal entry/exit points.

Top down sector and market analysis–

  Ongoing assessment of global and U.S. market conditions, interest rates, policy, and trends to identify specific sectors, industries, geographies and other market segments poised for out-performance.

Our Process in Action…

  Idea ggeneration – Exhaustive review of Wall Street research, proprietary qualitative and quantitative screening, technical analysis, primary company, industry, and market research.

  Security selection – Hand-review screened results, fundamental company and sector research, competitive analysis, thorough review of public documents and newswires, SEC filings review, valuation and technical chart analysis.

  Position Sizing – Thorough review of active portfolio positions and leading candidates to determine optimal initial position size, entry and exit points to achieve maximum total return/diversification profile.

Target Portfolio Construction…

  15 to 20 individual security holdings (long or short) drawing from a wide universe of investment vehicles, including fundamentally superior, reasonably priced common stocks, PLUS…

  Put and call options… ETFs (long and short)… commodity funds (long and short)… currencies (long and short)… other more sophisticated trading vehicles as appropriate.

 General long bias, hedged for safety and lower volatility. No common stock holding exceeding 8% of the total value of the fund.

Why Long/Short Equity Hedge Funds…

 Absolute Performance – High-net-worth investors have long relied on long/short equity hedge funds for their unique ability to deliver consistent results in excess of the returns available to long-only stock investors.

 Reduced volatility – The ability to go both long and short smoothes out overall portfolio volatility and decreases correlation with the broader stock market, especially during periods of severe market turbulence.

 Keeps you in the market – Consistent returns, participation in strong markets, and lower volatility in bad markets give you the PEACE OF MIND you need to stay invested – decreasing the likelihood you will miss out on the market’s best days.

Why Long/Short Equity Hedge Funds NOW…  Geopolitical uncertainty – Mounting debt crises in Europe, tensions in the Middle East, instability in North Korea, and our own debt and budget crises, among other factors, all threaten the current bull market.

  Bull market matures – U.S. stocks have recovered all the ground lost during the last market sell-off. The current five year bull market run leaves valuations slightly stretched and the broader market vulnerable to a pullback – or worse.

  Bond bubble? – Historic low bond yields and record high bond prices make future gains unlikely for bond investors – dramatically increasing the overall wealth threat of a looming stock market correction or bear market.
