EFFECTIVE RANKING SYSTEM
New purchases must enhance expected return of portfolio
In-depth analysis determines a target price for current holdings and ranks expected returns from high to low
New purchases must rank above median in appreciation potential
Upside potential is weighed against stock-specific risk assessment focusing on the balance sheet and stress testing
Final decisions are made by the CIO
Projected EPS x Projected P/E = Target Price
(Target Price - Current Price) x 100
(Current Price) = % Appreciation

SUMMARY
1. We do one thing and one thing only – deep value equity investing.
2. Consistent investment philosophy and discipline since 1996. 3. Single decision maker – Arnie Schneider – with over 25 years of portfolio management
experience 4. Experienced, dedicated research team – no internal competition for resources. 5. Nimble boutique firm – streamlined information flow enhances timely decision making. 6. Focus on long-term investing, not short-term trading – patience and persistence are
paramount to our style of investing. 7. Invest in companies that are selling at a large discount to what we believe is their true
intrinsic value. 8. Invest in companies that we believe will begin the return to a normalized level of earnings
within 12-18 months – not to an unrealistic level of expansion or success. 9. Focused on being the best investment manager, not the biggest – history of closing products
to new investors to preserve portfolio integrity. 10. 100% Employee owned – no external financial or organizational influences.

LARGE CAP VALUE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE
Disclosure: Schneider Capital Management (“SCM”) claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with GIPS standards. SCM has been independently verified for the periods January 1, 1997 through December 31, 2013.
Verification assess whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and(2) the firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The Large Cap Value Composite has been examined for the periods June 1, 1999 through December 31, 2013. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request
1. SCM is an independent investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. SCM was founded on December 5, 1996 and is 100% employee owned. 2. The Large Cap Value Composite (the “Composite”) includes all actual, fee-paying, discretionary portfolios with a mandate to invest primarily in common stocks of companies that have value characteristics and market capitalizations that are generally within the range of companies in the Russell 1000 Index at the time of initial purchase. The creation date of the Composite is June 1, 1999. 3. The Large Cap Value Composite is compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index, a subset of the Russell 1000 Index, which measures the performance of the stocks of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, based on market capitalization. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of those stocks of the Russell 1000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower relative forecasted growth rates. The returns of the index include the reinvestment of dividends but do not account for transaction costs or other expenses which an investor might incur in attempting to obtain such returns. You cannot invest directly in these indices. Benchmark returns are not covered by the report of independent verifiers. 4. The Large Cap Value Composite is one of several composites managed by SCM. All fee-paying discretionary portfolios, including those portfolios no longer with the firm, are included in at least one composite. SCM's list of composite descriptions is available upon request. 5. Total Firm Assets as used herein consist of the aggregate value of all discretionary and non-discretionary portfolios under management at the end of the measurement period. 6. Rates of return are expressed in US dollars. Composite results reflect the reinvestment of any dividend or investment income and include returns on all cash and cash equivalents. Returns are presented net of any non-reclaimable withholding taxes. Partial year returns have not been annualized. 7. SCM’s policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request. 8. Composite Dispersion is measured using an asset-weighted standard deviation of gross returns of the portfolios that were included in the Composite for the entire measurement period. For those annual periods with less than five portfolios included for the entire year, dispersion is not presented as it is not considered meaningful.9. Gross of fee returns are presented before management fees and reflect the deduction of direct trading expenses. A Client’s return will be reduced by the advisor fees it will incur in the management of its investment advisory accounts.10. The Large Cap Value Fee Schedule: 0.70% on the first $25 million; 0.50% on the next $25 million; 0.40% over $50 million. Net of Fee returns reflect the deduction of direct trading expenses and the actual management fee as per the investment advisory agreements. Fees paid by certain clients may be different from the current fee schedule. SCM's investment advisory fees are described in Part 2A of Form ADV.11. From 2002-2011, the Large Cap Value Composite includes one portfolio whose gross and net returns reflect the deduction of custody and other administrative expenses. 12. Effective January 1, 2012, the Large Cap Value Composite includes one portfolio whose net return reflects the deduction of custody and other administrative expenses. 13. The three-year annualized ex-post standard deviation measure the variability of the composite (using gross returns) and the benchmark for the preceding 36-month period. The three-year annualized ex-post standard deviation is not required to be presented for periods prior to 2011.14. The performance data quoted above represents past performance; past performance is not indicative of future results.
