INTRODUCTION TO THE INVESTMENT INSTITUTE EDUCATIONAL FORUMS THAT INSPIRE A CULTURE OF COLLABORATION AND COMMUNITY

AMONG INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS, FAMILY OFFICES, CONSULTANTS AND ASSET MANAGERS

ANDREA SZIGETHY DONNA HOLLY Founder & CEO President

The Investment Institute (TII) was originally founded in 2008 specifically to educate the investment community in North Carolina as well as other southeastern states. In 2016, we expanded to include investors and managers from around the country, while still maintaining a strong emphasis on the southeast where our roots were formed. TII is an unbiased educational investment conference provider which offers non-commercial investor education and does not offer any other investment products or consulting services. Our membership and conference registration fees, along with our sponsorship contributions, are the sole revenue source of The Investment Institute. TII is co-owned by Andrea Szigethy, Founder & CEO, and Donna Holly, President, who have been working alongside each other as educators in the financial sector for over 18 years! Together they have built an organization that provides their clients a relaxed, comfortable, friendly, and non-sales type of atmosphere, fostering an environment to learn and connect with one another in a way that promotes lifelong relationships, trust and friendship among institutional and private investors, consultants and asset managers. Our meetings are just the right size! We typically limit our attendance at our Fall & Spring (Members Only) Forums, to less than 300 participants to enable members to meet almost everyone over the course of the meeting. As we continue to grow our organization, we welcome new investors into our circle of friends and family and are always interested in meeting and speaking with new niche managers who, when an available spot opens, we can allow access to join our membership community or attend one of our non-member events.

TII brings senior investment decision-makers from leading endowments, foundations, pension funds, single family offices (SFOs), multi-family offices (MFOs), RIAs, consultants, outsourced CIO firms, asset management firms and other financial institutions together for face-to-face conversations, debate and problem-solving. TII has become known as one of the leading conference providers that strives for a high percentage/good ratio of allocators to managers/service providers in the audience at each of the forums. TII features some of the most well-known and leading money managers, policy makers, economists, research strategists and business leadership gurus along with some of the most prominent institutional and private investors. The programs cover complex issues surrounding the financial industry and the speaker faculty analyzes risk while revealing many opportunities in the current market environment.

Our distinguished Editorial Committee, which reflects a cross section of various types of sophisticated institutional and private investors, engage with TII to set the direction and develop the cutting-edge timely topics and themes for all of our forums. It is with their guidance that we develop new and innovative ideas to educate our members. The Editorial Committee assists TII in the recruitment of speakers, drives the content by selecting topics, and also acts as an informal advisory board and strategic resource. It is our goal to keep our investment community abreast of industry practices on a “real-time” basis at each of our programs and to sharpen the understanding of critical factors impacting both long and short-term investment ideas leading to better investment returns.

At TII, we do our best to encourage members not to solicit fellow attendees for investments or services during our forums. Exchanging business cards is entirely appropriate and we specifically dedicate time during the opening evening of each of our forums to bring everyone together for a down-to-earth, relaxed networking dinner in a very comfortable setting, allowing members to get to know one another in a low-key and welcoming way.

A membership subscription is required to gain access to our Spring (May) & Fall (October) Forums. However, in February of 2020, we will be offering a new program, The Winter Investment Institute Forum, in Charlotte, NC. This will be open to non-members as well as to current members of TII (member discounts available). There will be limited seating at this new addition to our conference roster, which will take place on February 24-25, 2020. All of our programs are held strictly off-the-record with no media or press in attendance.

THE FALL INVESTMENT INSTITUTE FORUM OCTOBER 24-25, 2019

THE UMSTEAD HOTEL & SPA, CARY, NC

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2019 DAY ONE

10:00 am Registration Opens & Networking Time at The Umstead Hotel & Spa, Cary, NC 10:45 am Welcome to the Fall Investment Institute 2019 & Introduction to Forum Co-Chairs Andrea Szigethy, Founder & CEO, The Investment Institute Donna Holly, President, The Investment Institute TII Fall Forum Co-Chairs Jim Dunn, CEO & CIO, Verger Capital Management Vanita Gaonkar, Senior Investment Officer, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation 11:00 am Keynote Address: Powers of Yesterday, Powers of Tomorrow Americans believe that their greatest days are behind them and that a series of new powers is rising up to displace them. On the contrary, America’s best days — militarily, economically, financially and culturally — are still ahead of them. In fact, many of the states that the Americans feel are up-and-comers — most notably China, Russia and India — are merely experiencing a historical moment in the sun courtesy of factors utterly beyond their control. Most of the powers of tomorrow are countries that the Americans have very little knowledge of. The major powers of 2030 will not be based in Beijing or Moscow, but in Jakarta, Buenos Aires, Warsaw, Istanbul and Mexico City. Peter Zeihan, Geopolitical Strategist & Author, The Accidental Superpower/Absent Superpower & President, Zeihan on Geopolitics 11:50 am Keynote Address: Down Under Pressure: Things You Need to Know About Australia In this keynote session, Grant Williams will walk the audience through all of the things you need to know about Australia. Grant is well known for his charming, witty and charismatic way of blending history and humour with keen financial insight to produce his unique presentations. Grant has grown Things That Make You Go Hmmm… to become one of the most popular and widely-read financial publications in the world! Grant is also one of the co-founders of Real Vision Television – an online, on-demand TV channel featuring in-depth interviews with the brightest minds in the financial industry. Grant Williams, Author, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… 12:30 pm A Follow up Conversation: The Disruption of the Financial System: Which Countries & Sectors will be Winners & Losers? Moderator: Mark E. Roberts, Chief Investment Officer, Ironsides Asset Advisors Keynote Panelists: Constance Hunter, Principal & Chief Economist, KPMG Grant Williams, Author, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… Peter Zeihan, Geopolitical Strategist & Author, The Accidental Superpower/Absent Superpower

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2019 CONTINUED 1:00 pm Networking Luncheon – Time for Members to Reconnect with One Another 2:00 pm Keynote Address: Top Millennial Myths: Why Misunderstandings Stop Your Breakthroughs Are you tired of the same old conversation about Millennials? We all know Millennials are different. But, we don't want to change our whole way of managing just for a particular group. What's the value proposition? Many companies today struggle to innovate, to retain, to regain productivity and engagement. While talking about generations often devolves into humor or complaints, these stereotypes reflect a much deeper issue: resistance to changing from an Industrial Age to a Digital Age. It's these conversations and point of view that is holding organizations back. In this keynote, Crystal Kadakia will share her research published in her best-seller, The Millennial Myth and help you make the following powerful moves:

• Abandon today’s stereotype-laden Millennial language • Understand the inability of generational science to help you develop, retain, and engage talent • Demystify Millennial/Gen Z behavior by understanding the role of digital technology • Let go of Industrial Age thinking that no longer serves you or your business • Experiment with new workplace practices that make sense for your company in today's digital world

Crystal Kadakia, Author, The Millennial Myth: Transforming Misunderstanding into Workplace Breakthroughs & Founder, Invati Consulting 3:00 pm Asset-Owners Discussion: Private Equity Trends for Allocators Today Which types of thematic trends do you find your investment team is spending the most time discussing and focusing on internally and are geopolitics informing the way you make decisions on the economic themes you choose to implement into your portfolio? Can private equity continue to deliver big returns going forward? What are the most compelling trends in the private market space for allocators today? How are investors using innovation as a tool for more responsible investing? Moderator: Greg Brown, Executive Director, Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise; Sarah Graham Kenan Distinguished Professor of Finance, UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School Panelists: Kate Caldwell Nevin, Managing Director, TSWII Kevin Tunick, Vice President & Managing Director, Private Investments, UNC Management Company Elizabeth Weindruch, Managing Director, Barings 3:40 pm Anchors Away: A World Without Rulebooks for Markets & Policymakers Our guest speaker, Mr. Jason Bonanca, will give a 15-minute presentation followed by a moderated conversation on a world without rulebooks for markets and policymakers. Interviewer: David Gilmore, Managing Director, The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation Guest Speaker: Jason Bonanca, Partner & Portfolio Manager, MKP Capital Management 4:15 pm Late Afternoon Healthy Refreshment Break Followed by Mindful Movement Following our healthy afternoon break our special guest Lisa Sparagna will lead a few minutes of “Mindful Movement” to rejuvenate and energize our minds for the remainder of the afternoon sessions. Lisa has been practicing and teaching meditation and yoga for over fifteen years. She uses a variety of meditation techniques to help her students improve focus, reduce stress, and find calm and clarity in their lives. Lisa received her 200-hour yoga training certificate from the White Lotus Foundation (Santa Barbara, CA) and her 500-hour advanced yoga training certificate from Prairie Yoga (Lisle, Il). Her other formal studies include the completion of the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program, an eight week mindfulness course, and the Calm Monkey Meditation Facilitator Program.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2019 CONTINUED 4:45 pm Understanding Real Assets in Today’s Market Environment: How Should Institutional Investors Approach the Asset Class? Given the uncertainty of the markets, institutional investors today are looking at more innovative and creative ways when making allocations to real assets. Why is it important to have an integrated and diversified real assets strategy? What are the sources of returns and the risks and rewards of implementing natural resources, real estate, agriculture, infrastructure, etc. into your portfolio? What will the universe of energy opportunities look like in the future? What is the role of a fiduciary when considering investing in these sectors and how should investors position real assets going forward? What will the impact be on endowment, foundation, pension, healthcare and family office portfolios? Moderator: Mike Condon, Head of Portfolio Management, Fund Evaluation Group (FEG) Panelists: David Brief, Senior Managing Director, Angeles Investment Advisors Mark Corigliano, Private Capital Team Head, DUMAC (Duke University) Christopher Olson, Principal & Portfolio Manager, High Pointe Capital Management 5:30 pm Closing Day One Keynote Address: The State of the (AI) Artificial Intelligence Industry: Lessons Learned What are the significant barriers when it comes to AI and how do we get over them? Where are we now? How do allocators who have fewer resources than managers, cut through all of the noise and decide on who to invest with? How do investor/asset owners go about learning about AI and the proper governance structure? What are the right questions that investors should be asking about AI? Our keynote speaker will address the good the bad and the ugly from his personal experience and talk about why he wished he knew earlier what he knows now and what are the lessons learned from earlier mistakes. This presentation will run for approximately 30 minutes leaving 15 minutes for an interactive Q&A with the audience. Angelo Calvello, PhD., Co-Founder, Rosetta Analytics, Inc. 6:15 pm End of Day One Discussions 6:40 pm Transportation Departs from the Umstead Hotel to Vidrio in Downtown Raleigh Get ready for an evening filled with networking and fun with fellow members of The Investment Institute. We will have buses departing at 6:40pm. We will be sending buses back from the restaurant to the hotel throughout the evening. 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm Welcome Reception & Networking Dinner Party for All Attendees at Vidrio in Downtown Raleigh Vidrio is the bold vision of restauranteur Lou Moshakos. Built on the philosophy that “love is the most important ingredient,” Vidrio is a family dream years in the making. When Lou speaks of his family, it is always centered around the table and filled with laughter, stories, and love. This communal tradition of dining and sharing is captured in the essence of Vidrio. Vidrio embraces the Mediterranean dining philosophy – rooting it in the respect for the ingredient, the nourishment of food for our bodies and to use the time around the table to reconnect with one another. There couldn’t be a more perfect restaurant and atmosphere in downtown Raleigh to bring our “TII Family Members” together for a fun-filled evening of socializing and getting reacquainted with old friends or making new ones! Don’t miss this special evening where we will have the entire upstairs of this gorgeous dinner venue. Dress is business casual. We will also have a fantastic acoustic guitar player for our group at the upstairs bar area. We are truly grateful to our Investment Institute sponsors who have made this evening possible! https://www.vidrioraleigh.com.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2019 DAY TWO 7:30 am – 9:00 am “Allocators Only” – Breakfast Meeting Discussion Topic: Optimize Luck Facilitators: Steven R. Kim, Partner, Investment Strategy & Risk Management, Verdis Investment Management Cathleen M. Rittereiser, Executive Director, Commonfund Institute Mark Steed, Chief Investment Officer, Arizona PSPRS Trust At the May 2019 TII Allocators Only breakfast meeting, our group brainstormed and shared several new and intriguing ideas for stewarding capital into the future. One suggestion, “Optimize Luck”, inspires further exploration. In this session, Steve Kim of Verdis Investments and Mark Steed of Arizona PSPRS Trust will team with Cathleen Rittereiser, Executive Director of the Commonfund Institute, to lead our collaborative discussion. Working together, we will generate ideas for optimizing luck. About the “Allocators Only” – Breakfast Meeting This closed-door session creates the opportunity for LPs to come together to discuss the challenges they face and brainstorm solutions in an intimate, informal atmosphere. The interactive format allows time for candid conversations and enables participants to collaborate with one another. This is a great time for TII investor members to reconnect or meet new members. We will allow one senior investment professional from each of our sponsoring firms into the room to join in on the conversations. 8:15 am – 9:00 am Breakfast Will Be Available For All Other Attendees 9:10 am Keynote Address: Chindia Rising and the Incredible Power of the Emerging Asian Consumer For the bulk of the last two millennia, China and India were the center of economic power around the world. After two centuries of residence in the West, the geographic epicenter of economic power has begun an inexorable move back to the East. With 40% of the global population and a massive movement of the population of Chindia out of poverty over the past fifty years, the Asian Consumer is now the most powerful economic force on planet earth. Join us for a whirlwind tour of the region and discover why the best place to deploy investment capital in the coming decade will be in Chindia and how to best capitalize on the incredible opportunities in technology, healthcare and consumer products and services. Given the abundant forecasts for dismal prospective returns in the developed markets going forward, this is one session you literally can’t afford to miss as a good steward of institutional or family capital. Mark W. Yusko, CEO & Chief Investment Officer, Morgan Creek Capital Management 9:50 am Fireside Chat: Solving the Misalignment Issue Between Asset Owners and Asset Managers Using Innovative Performance Fees Jared A. Levy, author and Fox News contributor, will interview Phil DeSantis, CFA and SVP, Product Head at Westwood. DeSantis is the author of “Mission Possible: Changing the Probability of Winning for Active Investors” and creator of Sensible Fees™, which are new, innovative, risk-based performance fee structures. DeSantis will outline the state of the industry, which appears primed for a major change to better disaggregate active manager pricing for the value of beta and alpha in order to address the cyclicality and risks inherent in active management. This educational session will discuss risk-based performance fees that can dramatically improve alignment while giving investors an asymmetric performance advantage verses a traditional fixed fee structure. Jared and Phil will examine applications across long-only active equity, multi-asset, and alternatives that could set a new standard for alignment and alter manager allocation decisions in the future. Interviewer: Jared A. Levy, Author, CNBC & Fox News Contributor Speaker: Philip S. DeSantis, Senior Vice President, Head of Product Management, Westwood Holdings Group, Inc.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2019 CONTINUED 10:20 am Morning Networking Break 10:50 am Keynote Address: Gender Diversity in Asset Management Meredith is an alternative investment consultant and author of Women of The Street: Why Female Money Managers Generate Higher Returns (And How You Can Too), which won an Axiom Award Gold Medal in 2016. She was named one of Inc. magazine’s “17 Inspiring Women To Watch in 2017” and was named a Distinguished Author by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2018.

Meredith also serves on the Board of Directors for Rock the Street, Wall Street a non-profit that provides financial and investment literacy courses for high school girls. Meredith Jones, Alternative Investment Consultant & Author of Women of the Street: Why Female Money Managers Generate Higher Returns (And How You Can Too) 11:30 am Planting the Seed & Capturing the Outliers in Venture Capital The earliest stage of venture capital, the first institutional round invested in startups, has consistently driven the best returns. While roughly only a third of venture-funded companies manage to raise sufficient capital to survive, in the end, a small percentage of companies are creating an extraordinary amount of wealth, the outliers. Over time, outliers radically alter investment returns. When it comes to investing, what’s the math and power behind capturing outliers that produce these outsized returns? Which outliers have become household names and how did they get there? Does volume, sector diversity or geography matter? Our dynamic panelists will explore why there may be a renewed interest in the earliest stage of venture capital and the dynamics at play. Moderator: Eric Woo, Head of Institutional Capital, AngelList Panelists: Steven R. Kim, Partner, Investment Strategy & Risk Management, Verdis Investment Management Fernando Pontaza, Co-Founder & Managing General Partner, Invariantes Fund Mark Steed, Chief Investment Officer, Arizona PSPRS Trust Veronica Wu, Managing Partner, Hone Capital 12:00 pm Networking Luncheon to Connect with your TII Community 1:00 pm If You Had a Blank Slate How Would You Construct an Institutional Portfolio in 2020? This discussion will have three seasoned institutional investors who will each present for 10 minutes on how they would set their asset allocation direction today if they were to have a blank slate to work with and didn’t need to worry about their legacy investments. After the three concepts have been presented the panelists will take questions from the audience and open it up for discussion for the remaining time of the panel. Moderator: Libby George, Director of Investments, NC State University Panelists: Susanne Gealy, Senior Director, Investments, Dignity Health Fred Greear, Director of Investments, Carilion Clinic Christine Kelleher, Chief of Investments, National Gallery of Art

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2019 CONTINUED 1:45 pm The Great Separation: Is Now the Time to Embrace Long/Short Equity? A rising tide has lifted all boats the past decade due to unprecedented monetary stimulus from central banks in response to the Global Financial Crisis; however, the tides are shifting and we will soon find out who has been "swimming naked” (per Buffet). The panel will discuss the status of the equity market cycle and how to prepare your portfolio for its inevitable conclusion. We will explore the current state of fundamental investing and dive into a number of actionable long and short investment ideas from around the globe and across a variety of themes. Moderator: Beth Johnson, Partner & Senior Investment Consultant, Pavilion, a Mercer Practice Panelists: David Atterbury, Portfolio Manager & Managing Partner, Whetstone Capital Advisors, LLC. Cory Lester, Managing Director (NYC), Morgan Creek Capital Management Donna L. Snider, Managing Director, The Kresge Foundation 2:20 pm Closing Keynote Address: Global Trumpism: Lessons for Leaders The election of president Trump, Brexit, and the rise of populist politics in general has been both a long time coming...and yet was singularly unexpected. How come such an important shift in our politics and economics was so mis-priced? Mark Blyth, who predicted both Trump and Brexit in advance, walks us through a thirty year journey to the current moment that shows us how fragile seemingly stable institutions can be. From there, he asks ‘what do these political and economic surprises tell us about leadership and survivability in the corporate world?’ The answers are both simple, and compelling. Mark Blyth, Author, Teacher, Political Commentator, The William R. Rhodes ’57 Professor of International Economics, The Watson Institute for International & Public Affairs, Brown University 3:00 pm Closing Remarks & End of the 2019 Fall Investment Institute Forum

David Atterbury, Portfolio Manager & Managing Partner, Whetstone Capital Advisors, LLC David Atterbury is the Portfolio Manager and Managing Partner of Whetstone Capital Advisors, LLC. Before forming Whetstone, David worked for DS Advisors and the 1818 Partners Fund at Brown Brothers Harriman. Prior to Brown Brothers Harriman, David served as a principal at Return Holdings, an Associate at Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp and an analyst at Merrill Lynch. David received a BA degree in History from Dartmouth College and an MBA from Columbia University, where he participated in the value investing curriculum at the Heilbrunn Center for Graham & Dodd Investing. Mark Blyth, Author, Teacher, Political Commentator, The William R. Rhodes ’57 Professor of International Economics, The Watson Institute for International & Public Affairs Acclaimed for his stunning early predictions of Donald Trump’s victory and Brexit and for identifying the phenomenon that he named “Global Trumpism,” Brown University professor Mark Blyth energizes audiences with his sharp Scottish candor and no-nonsense insights into the interconnected impacts of global politics, economics and markets. Blyth’s ability to break down and clarify high-level financial and political issues for diverse audiences has made him a popular keynote for groups ranging from international investor conferences to trade associations. Blending essential knowledge with invaluable insights, Mark Blyth challenges conventional thinking and deeply informs economic, political, and technological forecasts. All with a thinking-person’s wit and insightful humor that make incredibly complex and difficult topics accessible, understandable, and refreshingly entertaining. Mark Blyth currently serves as the Eastman Professor of Political Economy at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. Blyth also recently became the Director of the William R. Rhodes Center at Brown University. His research focuses upon the causes of stability and change in the economy and “why people continue to believe stupid economic ideas despite buckets of evidence to the contrary.” Professor Blyth has authored several books, most recently Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea and The Future of the Euro.Austerity, which has been translated into 16 languages, won numerous awards, and the attention of Paul Krugman and Lawrence Summers. Reviewing Austerity in the Financial Times, Summers compared Blyth’s writing to that of John Maynard Keynes.
