Polen Focus Growth
September 30, 2015
Our Focus Growth strategy seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital by building a concentrated portfolio of
outstanding businesses with competitive advantages and the potential for sustained superior growth.
Investment Philosophy
We believe consistent earnings growth is the primary driver of intrinsic value and long-term stock appreciation. Accordingly, our
efforts focus on identifying and then investing in a concentrated portfolio of Large Cap Growth companies that we believe are
capable of delivering sustainable, above-average earnings growth.
We seek to invest in companies with growing earnings driven by a sustainable competitive advantage, superior financial strength,
proven management teams and powerful products/services. We hold the view that such exceptional companies not only have the
potential to contribute outsized returns but are also inherently less risky. Their greater earnings' stability and financial strength
offer a "Margin of Safety" that typically results in less volatility during declining markets.

Performance Disclosure:
Polen Capital Management, LLC is an independent registered investment advisor. The firm has been managing large cap growth equity portfolios for institutional and high net worth individual clients since 1989.
PCM claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS). This presentation is supplemental information to the fully compliant composite performance disclosure available at
www.polencapital.com.
All performance is calculated in US Dollars. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income.
The primary benchmark for the large capitalization equity composite is the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Russell 1000® Growth Index (R1000G) is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the
large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000® Growth Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. It is impossible to invest directly in
an index. The performance of an index does not reflect any transactions costs, management fees, or taxes.
*Holdings are subject to change. The top holdings, as well as other data, are as of the period indicated, and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase, hold, or sell any particular security. There is no
assurance that any of the securities noted will remain in a portfolio at the time you receive this fact sheet. Actual holdings and percentage allocation in individual client portfolios may vary and are subject to change. It
should not be assumed that any of the holdings discussed were, or will prove to be, profitable, or that the investment recommendations or decisions we make in the future will be profitable. A list of all securities held in
this strategy in the prior year is available upon request.
**Long-term EPS Growth estimates for the Focus Growth portfolio are Polen Capital estimates. Our long-term estimates for the market indices are based off of 10 year historical data capturing different market cycles.
1 The inception date of the large cap equity composite is 1/1/1989

Polen Focus Growth Factsheet Sept 2015 (Institutional)

  • 1. Polen Focus Growth September 30, 2015 Our Focus Growth strategy seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital by building a concentrated portfolio of outstanding businesses with competitive advantages and the potential for sustained superior growth. Investment Philosophy We believe consistent earnings growth is the primary driver of intrinsic value and long-term stock appreciation. Accordingly, our efforts focus on identifying and then investing in a concentrated portfolio of Large Cap Growth companies that we believe are capable of delivering sustainable, above-average earnings growth. We seek to invest in companies with growing earnings driven by a sustainable competitive advantage, superior financial strength, proven management teams and powerful products/services. We hold the view that such exceptional companies not only have the potential to contribute outsized returns but are also inherently less risky. Their greater earnings' stability and financial strength offer a "Margin of Safety" that typically results in less volatility during declining markets. Investment Objective Performance Relative to Peer Group Peer Group (5-95%): Separate Accounts/CITs - U.S. - Large Growth Top Quartile 2nd Quartile 3rd Quartile Bottom Quartile Return -7.5 -5.0 -2.5 0.0 2.5 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 7 Years 10 Years 15 Years 20 Years Since Inception 5.0 7.5 10.0 12.5 15.0 17.5 Polen Focus Growth Russell 1000 Growth TR USD Trailing Returns as of 9/30/2015 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 7 Years 10 Years 15 Years 20 Years Since Inception (12/31/88) Polen Large Cap Growth (Gross) Polen Large Cap Growth (Net) Russell 1000 Growth TR USD 17.16 13.79 14.18 11.67 9.30 6.13 10.26 12.39 3.17 13.61 14.47 11.73 8.09 2.20 7.49 9.67 18.20 15.17 15.65 13.16 10.75 7.60 11.91 14.26 Trailing Annualized Performance as of 9/30/2015 Return 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 7 Years 10 Years 15 Years 20 Years Since Inception (12/31/88) 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 12.0 14.0 16.0 18.0 20.0 Polen Focus Growth (Gross) Polen Focus Growth (Net) Russell 1000 Growth TR USD POLEN CAPITAL CONTACTS (800) 358-1887 Jim Haymes Director of Institutional Relations ext:226 Email:jhaymes@polencapital.com ______________________________ Anthony Xuereb Relationship Manager ext:207 Email: axuereb@polencapital.com _____________________________ Svet Bilsky Sr. Relationship Associate ext:235 Email: sbilsky@polencapital.com _____________________________ Christian Baena Relationship Associate ext:236 Email: cbaena@polencapital.com _____________________________ Eric Jensen Performance Analyst ext:229 Email: ejensen@polencapital.com PRODUCT PROFILE Firm Profile: Polen Capital was founded in 1979.

  • 2. Polen Focus Growth September 30, 2015 Page 2 Performance Disclosure: Polen Capital Management, LLC is an independent registered investment advisor. The firm has been managing large cap growth equity portfolios for institutional and high net worth individual clients since 1989. PCM claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS). This presentation is supplemental information to the fully compliant composite performance disclosure available at www.polencapital.com. All performance is calculated in US Dollars. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. The primary benchmark for the large capitalization equity composite is the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Russell 1000® Growth Index (R1000G) is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000® Growth Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. It is impossible to invest directly in an index. The performance of an index does not reflect any transactions costs, management fees, or taxes. *Holdings are subject to change. The top holdings, as well as other data, are as of the period indicated, and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase, hold, or sell any particular security. There is no assurance that any of the securities noted will remain in a portfolio at the time you receive this fact sheet. Actual holdings and percentage allocation in individual client portfolios may vary and are subject to change. It should not be assumed that any of the holdings discussed were, or will prove to be, profitable, or that the investment recommendations or decisions we make in the future will be profitable. A list of all securities held in this strategy in the prior year is available upon request. **Long-term EPS Growth estimates for the Focus Growth portfolio are Polen Capital estimates. Our long-term estimates for the market indices are based off of 10 year historical data capturing different market cycles. 1 The inception date of the large cap equity composite is 1/1/1989 2 Source: Morningstar Direct Dan Davidowitz, CIO & Portfolio Manager Mr. Davidowitz joined Polen Capital in 2005.
