This document summarizes the investment approach of BakerAvenue Asset Management. They practice an actively managed, prudent approach to asset allocation by considering macroeconomic factors, fundamental analysis, and technical indicators. This allows them to raise cash and reduce risk exposure when markets become overvalued or show signs of weakness. They offer multiple portfolio strategies that pursue this prudent, pragmatic approach across asset classes like equities, fixed income, and alternatives.
3. 3
There are a hundred ways to manage money.
And a hundred ways to manage money successfully.
We practice a prudent approach. By that
we mean actively managing asset allocation with
a pragmatic view to managing risk, rather than a
passive, conventional buy-and-hold method.
For example, on one end of the spectrum, if
the market moves from low risk to high risk, we
actively move to raise cash — in an attempt to
minimize capital losses. If the market moves on
the other end of the spectrum — from “risk-on” to
high-risk exuberance — we actively move to take
profits, and change the allocation.
Across all of our portfolio strategies
we pursue a point-of-view embracing three
perspectives: fundamental, technical, and macro.
These are at the heart of our actively managed mix
of prudence and pragmatism that has historically
given us solid performance while substantially
limiting downside risk.
Obviously, this is in stark contrast to those
funds or firms who actively seek the highest
returns — while assuming the accompanying
high levels of risk.
For our clients who wish to have a level of
peace of mind without moving into full-blown
conservatism, BakerAvenue has proven to be an
important performing part of their portfolio.
4. Pragmatism constantly identifies macro forces
that Prudence must consider.
Any one of which can throw us into another correction.

What happens without QE? Soft or Hard-Landing for China?
The S&P (in green) has mirrored the rise in the Fed’s
balance sheet (in grey).
The US GDP (the grey line) has mirrored the
China GDP (the orange line) for years.
If interest rates rise too quickly they could stall
the U.S. recovery just as it’s gaining traction.
Will interest rates rise? If so, how quickly?

The BakerAvenue Prudence Indicator™
Indicator: Characterized by
investor euphoria and high
complacency on stocks by
investors.
Emotion: Overexuberance.
Goal: To reduce market
exposure by taking profits
in stocks that have had
significant appreciation and/
or stocks that are showing
weakness.
Strategy: Raise cash levels
as stocks are generally not
replaced in an overbought
market condition until we see
evidence of market stability.
Indicator: Characterized by
broad-based sell-off in equities.
Emotion: Fear.
Goal: To have significantly
reduced market exposure since
the risk of a severe market
correction is elevated. (It is
important to highlight that we
have typically already reduced
market exposure by the time
we enter a negative zone in
the market.)
Strategy: High cash levels. We do
not add to our equity exposure
while market trends are down.
Indicator: Characterized
by high emotion and
significant volatility.
Emotion: Panic.
Goal: Very unusual, but
provides an exceptional
entry point back into
equities.
Strategy: We selectively
add market exposure with
expectations of a swift
market rebound.
Indicator: Characterized by a
broad-based rally in stocks.
Emotion: Greed.
Goal: To have full market
exposure in equities that
have the most attractive
fundamental and technical
characteristics.
Strategy: Lower cash levels.
Equities are typically replaced
when they are sold to take
advantage of market growth.

10. Prudence argues that the more dynamic the market,
the more pragmatic a money manager must be.
11. 11
There is no change in allocation in the Ride-the-Cycles
Strategy. By their own charter, traditional investment firms
must remain fully invested, regardless of whether the market
has moved from low risk to high risk.

BakerAvenue’s Balanced Dynamic Growth Model
reflects elevated cash levels BEFORE the fall of 2008.
Performance portrayed does not represent the results of actual trading but was achieved solely by means of retroactive application of a model designed with the benefit of
hindsight and modification (based on our initial design and assessment). Asset allocation, including cash holdings, were a part of the model design and benefited from hindsight.
The results may not reflect that material economic and market factors may have had an effect on our decision making at the time of the event had we actually been managing
client assets under this model. Past model performance is not indicative of future results. Performance returns are presented net of all applied management fees. Performance
results include reinvestment of all dividends, interest, and other income. The disclosures on the final page are an integral part of this presentation.

Fixed Income
The All Cap Core strategy seeks to
preserve and grow capital by investing
in fundamentally and technically
strong stocks and ETFs across all
market capitalizations in low risk
markets and protecting portfolio
principal by allocating up to 100% to
cash in high risk markets. The strategy
utilizes a quantitative and fundamental
approach supplemented by macro
analysis with prudent risk management
controls in an attempt to control
downside losses and protect capital.
All Cap Core
The Tactical Fixed Income strategy
seeks to provide current income,
capital appreciation and preservation
by investing in a broadly diversified
portfolio of bonds. The strategy
employs a quantitative approach to
opportunistically rotate between
multiple bond sectors in an attempt to
adjust the portfolio through shifting
interest rate and credit cycles.
Tactical Fixed Income
The Global Multi-Asset Class Income
strategy seeks to deliver above-average
market yields while maintaining
below-average market volatility by
investing in multiple asset classes of
income-producing securities. The
strategy employs a quantitative
approach to opportunistically rotate
between equity income and fixed
income securities in an attempt to
protect capital yet provide for income
in high risk markets.
Global Multi-Asset Class Income
Tactical Commodities
The objective of the Tactical
Commodities strategy is to tactically
represent commodities by using
a macro overlay coupled with the
concepts of relative strength to choose
among different commodity asset
classes for inclusion in the portfolio.
The Blue Chip Impact strategy seeks
capital appreciation with downside
protection by investing in a diversified
portfolio of Blue Chip stocks and ETFs
in low risk markets and protecting
principal in high risk markets by
moving up to 100% in cash. The
strategy considers both financial return
and social integrity by using a socially
responsible and impact-aware overlay.
Blue Chip Impact
The Global Tactical strategy seeks
long term capital appreciation with
downside protection by investing in
global asset classes and preserving
capital in severe down markets by
moving up to 100% in cash. The
strategy employs a quantitative
approach to opportunistically rotate
between investments in global asset
classes and cash in an attempt to
protect capital in high risk markets.

The Blue Chip Income strategy seeks
long term capital appreciation with
downside protection by investing in
a diversified portfolio of high quality
Blue Chip stocks and ETFs in low
risk markets and protecting principal
in high risk markets by moving up
to 100% in cash. Market exposure
is adjusted by monitoring long term
market trends to evaluate the risk
and reward of owning equities versus
protecting capital.

18. Custodians charge transaction fees for the purchases and sales of stocks and exchange
traded funds. These transaction fees vary depending upon custodian and broker but
rates are normally $7.95 for each securities transaction.
The ETF products utilized in the tactical indexing and bond strategies have low internal
expense ratios. The weighted average expense ratios in tactical indexing and bond
strategies are typically between 0.25%–0.35%.
BakerAvenue Asset Management does not share in any of the fees charged by a client’s
custodian (if any) or commissions charged to a client in relation to any security

The Balanced Dynamic Growth Model is a
hypothetical back tested model. The Model started
January 1, 2005 with a static allocation to 37.5%
of the All Cap Core strategy, 37.5% of the Global
Tactical Index strategy, 20% of the Tactical Fixed
Income strategy, and 5% in Tactical Commodities
strategy, and has made no additions or withdrawals.
Past results, including hypothetical and back-tested
results, are not a guarantee or predictor of future
results.
Performance portrayed does not represent the results
of actual trading but was achieved solely by means
of retroactive application of a model designed with
the benefit of hindsight and modification (based on
our initial design and assessment). The results may
not reflect that material economic and market factors
may have had an effect on our decision making at
the time of the event had we actually been managing
client assets under this model. The model changed
over time as we refined and finalized the strategy. At
this time, we do not know if actual trading results
would differ materially from the hypothetical back
tested results portrayed here. The purpose of back
tested performance is to test investment ideas,
develop strategies and modify those strategies to
achieve the intended results.
The model is measured against a blended index of
80% S&P 500 / 20% Barclays Aggregate. The S&P
500 Index measures the performance of 500 leading
companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy,
which represents over 80% of the investable U.S.
equity market and as such is not a global index. The
Barclays Aggregate Index is a broad based fixed
income index that includes most US treasuries,
All Cap Core Equity Strategy is an equity composite
of fully discretionary accounts that invest in all cap
equities and cash and are designed to generate a
positive return over the medium to long term, with
a focus on capital preservation. The All Cap Core
Composite may move to all cash when the investment
team decides to do so.
The Tactical Fixed Income Strategy is a hypothetical
back tested strategy that invests in exchange-traded
funds (ETFs) that invest in the following types of
fixed income asset classes: short-term investment
grade corporate, high yield (non-investment grade),
TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities), and
international bonds denominated in foreign currencies.
The Global Tactical Index Strategy is a blend of the
Global Tactical Index Composite, representing actual
accounts, from July 1, 2011 and a hypothetical back
tested application of this strategy from January 1,
2005 through June 30, 2011. The Global Tactical
Index Composite and the Global Tactical Index
Strategy represents an investment in exchange
traded funds (ETFs) across all asset classes including
companies of all market capitalizations, foreign and
domestic markets, and inverse hedging ETFs. The
strategy is designed to generate a positive return over
the medium to long term, with a focus on capital
growth and managing downside risk.
The Tactical Commodity Strategy is a hypothetical
back tested strategy which is designed to invest in
commodity and metals related exchange-traded funds
(ETFs) and equities.
mortgage backed and agency securities, and corporate
bonds. It is the most commonly used fixed income
proxy and most US traded investment grade bonds are
represented in the Index. The indices represent a total
return of the securities included in the indices. The
Balanced Dynamic Growth Model constituents are not
restricted to the securities included in these indices,
and unlike the indices, will include commodities and
cash. The underlying components of the Balanced
Dynamic Growth Model may move to 100% cash while
the indices are always fully invested.
The constituents of the Balanced Dynamic Growth
Model are outlined below. They are a combination of
active accounts grouped into composites based upon
similar strategy and hypothetical back tested strategies.
Since inception, one or more of the underlying
components may have moved to 100% cash, which
would result in a significant dispersion between the
performance of our model and the indexes as the
indexes are unmanaged and cannot move to cash.
Additional information is available upon request
outlining the policies for composite construction
and methods used to construct the hypothetical back
tested models. No representation is made that the
performance or volatility of the strategies will track
or otherwise reflect a particular index. Back tested
strategy performance is not predictive of future results.
