“Consistently Good Advice in a Constantly Changing World”®
AEPG® Wealth Strategies’ Investment Model makes a clear distinction between risk-based
and lower-risk assets.

•     Risk-based assets include: a Core portfolio of low-cost equity exchange-traded funds
      (ETFs) is designed for long-term growth; tracking the global equity markets through the
      use of indexing; and an Opportunistic ("satellite") portfolio that allows us to invest
      more tactically, increasing risk-adjusted returns. Each Opportunistic investment has its
      own entry and exit points and risk management parameters. We monitor the markets
      for additional opportunities that present an attractive risk reward ratio.

•     Lower-Risk high quality fixed income serves as the primary safety net in your portfolio.
      Our experience and research has demonstrated that high quality fixed income,
      particularly US Treasuries, provide true risk diversification – especially in times of
      market stress, when diversification is needed most. In addition to high quality fixed
      income, AEPG® Wealth Strategies offers other fixed income solutions to address client
      specific needs for yield or tax efficiencies.

                                                        cost beta (or market) exposure. Exposure is gained
                                                        through low cost Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and

                                                        is also tax-optimized, allowing for capital losses to be

                                                        generate alpha (or excess market return) by allocating to

  purchasing power).

$225,675. Therefore, the Doctor in this example could save an additional $176,675 for an additional cost of only $4,350.

Exchange traded funds (ETF)


  ETFs are open-ended funds that trade on registered national security
   exchanges similar to stocks.

  While mutual funds are bought and sold based on end of day pricing, ETFs
   trade at different prices throughout the course of the day.

  Most ETFs seek to track the performance of an index by holding all or a
   representative portion of the underlying index.

  ETFs can track equity, fixed income, commodity or other indices.

  ETFs generally entail lower fee structures and are more tax efficient than
   mutual funds.

  Unlike mutual funds, ETFs do not subject you to taxable events due to other
   investors selling shares in the fund.

  More recently, actively managed ETFs are being created where investors are
   able to receive the benefits of a tax efficient ETF while in turn receiving the
   benefits of active management.




“Consistently Good Advice in a Constantly Changing World”®
Manager Model Studies


  Manager Model Strategies are investment portfolios of stocks, bonds or
   other securities that can be customized on an individualized basis.

  Manager Model Strategies offer full, real-time transparency of all
   underlying securities and trades since the investor owns the actual
   securities (as opposed to owning shares of a mutual fund).

  Manager Model Strategies offer high degrees of tax efficiency. Since cost
   basis is known for each security, tax harvesting can be done on a
   continuous basis. Also, since the investor owns the individual securities,
   you are not subject to taxable events by other investors selling as you
   would with a mutual fund.

  Unlike mutual funds, Manager Model Strategies allow investors to
   customize portfolios by including preferences and/or restrictions on the
   purchases of specific securities. This is especially helpful for those who
   hold company stock from their employer and do not wish to hold an
   additional position in the company.

  • 13. AEPG® Wealth Strategies’ Investment Model makes a clear distinction between risk-based and lower-risk assets. • Risk-based assets include: a Core portfolio of low-cost equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is designed for long-term growth; tracking the global equity markets through the use of indexing; and an Opportunistic ("satellite") portfolio that allows us to invest more tactically, increasing risk-adjusted returns. Each Opportunistic investment has its own entry and exit points and risk management parameters. We monitor the markets for additional opportunities that present an attractive risk reward ratio. • Lower-Risk high quality fixed income serves as the primary safety net in your portfolio. Our experience and research has demonstrated that high quality fixed income, particularly US Treasuries, provide true risk diversification – especially in times of market stress, when diversification is needed most. In addition to high quality fixed income, AEPG® Wealth Strategies offers other fixed income solutions to address client specific needs for yield or tax efficiencies. “Consistently Good Advice in a Constantly Changing World”®

  • 15. Risk-based portfolio investments  AEPG® Wealth Strategies utilizes a core Risk-Based equity/opportunistic structure for investing the risk- based assets in the portfolio. Lower-Risk  The Core portion of the portfolio is designed to offer low cost beta (or market) exposure. Exposure is gained through low cost Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and ‘Manager Model Strategies’. Where appropriate the core is also tax-optimized, allowing for capital losses to be realized in the portfolio.  The Opportunistic portion of the portfolio is designed to generate alpha (or excess market return) by allocating to undervalued sectors, asset classes or investment styles. High Quality Core Equity Opportunistic Active management is applied both to manager selection Fixed Income Investments Investments and style/sector allocations.  The ratio of the allocation to core and opportunistic is dependent upon:  Expected after-tax return of the market benchmark Tactical Short  Expected manager after-tax alpha Strategic Long Term Term  Expected opportunistic tracking error  Expected active manager turnover “Consistently Good Advice in a Constantly Changing World”®
  • 16. Lower-risk portfolio investments  The AEPG® Wealth Strategies lower-risk portfolio is comprised of high quality fixed income with a Lower-Risk Risk- Based significant allocation to US Treasuries. We continuously monitor the yield curve and interest rates and make adjustments to the portfolio as needed. Additional fixed income related risks are constantly monitored. AEPG® Wealth Strategies manages these risks carefully.  High quality fixed income is considered lower-risk due to its low default risk and ability to appreciate or maintain value during times of market stress High Quality Core Equity Opportunistic Fixed Income Investments Investments  The lower-risk portfolio can consist of individual bonds, mutual funds and/or ETFs. The duration of the lower-risk model will be carefully managed and the maturity schedule any individual bonds may change at any time. Strategic Long Term Tactical Short  In addition to high quality fixed income, AEPG® Term Wealth Strategies offers other fixed income solutions to address client specific needs for yield or tax efficiencies. “Consistently Good Advice in a Constantly Changing World”®

  • 35. Exchange traded funds (ETF)  ETFs are open-ended funds that trade on registered national security exchanges similar to stocks.  While mutual funds are bought and sold based on end of day pricing, ETFs trade at different prices throughout the course of the day.  Most ETFs seek to track the performance of an index by holding all or a representative portion of the underlying index.  ETFs can track equity, fixed income, commodity or other indices.  ETFs generally entail lower fee structures and are more tax efficient than mutual funds.  Unlike mutual funds, ETFs do not subject you to taxable events due to other investors selling shares in the fund.  More recently, actively managed ETFs are being created where investors are able to receive the benefits of a tax efficient ETF while in turn receiving the benefits of active management. “Consistently Good Advice in a Constantly Changing World”®
  • 36. Manager Model Studies  Manager Model Strategies are investment portfolios of stocks, bonds or other securities that can be customized on an individualized basis.  Manager Model Strategies offer full, real-time transparency of all underlying securities and trades since the investor owns the actual securities (as opposed to owning shares of a mutual fund).  Manager Model Strategies offer high degrees of tax efficiency. Since cost basis is known for each security, tax harvesting can be done on a continuous basis. Also, since the investor owns the individual securities, you are not subject to taxable events by other investors selling as you would with a mutual fund.  Unlike mutual funds, Manager Model Strategies allow investors to customize portfolios by including preferences and/or restrictions on the purchases of specific securities. This is especially helpful for those who hold company stock from their employer and do not wish to hold an additional position in the company. “Consistently Good Advice in a Constantly Changing World”®
