BigSur's mission is to provide customized and holistic solutions to select global wealthy families, aiming to meet all of their wealth management needs.

Why BigSur

• Wealth is destroyed in 3 generations. We are helping our families “manage” their wealth to avoid this trend, so that they can leave a legacy

• We found that there was no one in the industry doing this the right way, so we decided to be a market leader and just do it ourselves

“We wanted a better way” Industry is structurally organized in a conflictive way for clients- not aligned for best interests of clients. Pushing product, multiple fee schedules, high banker turnover, limited access to products and investment opportunity

BigSur’s Compensation Structure Allows for Total Independence− No “product-based” compensation (no “related party” agreements)− Rebates paid back to clients− No transaction fees− All cost-savings are 100% passed on to the client

Independent Perspective− Goal to find “best-in-class” products based on their own merit−View based mainly on “buy-side” research

100% Open Architecture−Access multiple trading counterparts and third party managers− No ties with any financial institution (banks, brokers, product-producers)

Our motto is “The Value of Independence”

We analyze data and information from “best in class” research providers across asset types/markets to support our investment recommendations

II. Investment Research

Page 21: Why how what 3.26

“Cross-referencing” is core to our investment approach: we are constantly looking at a variety of sources when creating our views. Below is an example of one approach we use to identify high yield bonds

21

II. Cross Referencing

Analyze new buys, sells & reductions/additions to portfolio

For those new buys/adds we look to see the CreditSights view & analyst insights on positions

For niche or specialized markets we can ask for specialist views (ie long only managers, traders)

BigSur Client

BigSur’s model is built around the “Instividual”: giving clients the benefits of the institutional and private banking worlds

• Customized relationships to fit our clients profiles and needs• Upgrading our client’s level of service via institutional execution and investment opportunities

Page 24: Why how what 3.26

III. Club of Investors

Institutional Investment Opportunities through “Club of Investors” • Provide BigSur clients access to illiquid assets and “institutional” opportunities by pooling capital of our private investors with institutional capital

• Opportunistic in areas of private equity, real estate and other illiquid hands-on investments

• Clients can choose to participate or not, given profiles, preferences and exposures

Page 25: Why how what 3.26

25

Private equity direct investment• “Pure” exposure to real estate as an asset class • Greater control/choice

Core investments• Well located, well built and significantly leased real estate properties‐ ‐• Characterized by low to moderate risk and stable to moderate returns• Not focused on:

− Value-added: restoring and re-occupying properties in need of financial/physical revival− Opportunistic: ground-up development, land plays, distressed portfolios

Income producing investments• Substitute for fixed income in portfolio: steady income stream • Significantly leased properties- high occupancy rates • High quality tenants

III. BigSur Focus within Commercial Real Estate

BigSur Scoresheet • Qualitative score: average score based on ratings of several qualitative factors• Return analysis: expected return based on three different scenarios• See Scoresheet in following pages

Page 26: Why how what 3.26

Institutional share classes of mutual funds Access to institutional share classes: clients pay lower fees for the same product. Examples include:

Legg Mason US High Yield, Templeton Offshore funds

Ability to execute cross sale transactionsIf a client wants to sell a bond and another client wants to buy the same bond, we can execute a direct cross sale between the two accounts. Example: A General Electric Float Bond On Feb 23 traded between 94.80 and 97.50 We executed at a mid point (96.15) for our clients and they are not charged any commission and are given the most fair pricing.

Volume

We look to provide best execution for our clients. One way is through BigSur’s prime brokerage relationship with Pershing Advisor Solutions, a subsidiary of the Bank of New York Mellon • BNY Mellon has $27.9 trillion assets under custody or administration
