INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

Brinker Capital isn’t like other investment management fi rms.

2

For more than 20 years, we’ve pioneered smarter investment strategies,innovative products, and new technology, all to provide excellent support to advisors.

3

Our approach to excellence in investment management is based on four core principles. They help us stay focused and fl exible, so that every decision we make and every strategy we implement serves the investor.

Diversifi cation

Diversifi cation

6

Our portfolios span six asset classes, including both traditional strategies—domestic equity, international equity, and fi xed income—and alternatives, including absolute return, real assets, and private equity.

We also offer a wide range of portfolios to serve the different needs of different investors, from the most conservative to the most aggressive strategy, from mutual funds to absolute return vehicles.

This broad diversifi cation translates into broader opportunities. It means investors have access to products and strategies that aren’t generally available to individuals. It means they may see reduced risk and increased returns over the long term. It means that both their money and their confi dence are well placed.

There is more than one way to be successful in investing. In fact, there are at least six.

Introduced managed accounts as part of a disciplined asset allocation process—the fi rst independent fi rm in the country to do so (1992).—Created a no-load, multiple-family mutual fund asset allocation program (1995).—Developed a personalized advisor and client services workstation for easy account access (2000).—Restructured a mutual fund program to lower fees and broaden diversifi cation (2004).

Introduced the Brinker Capital Unifi ed Managed Account, which allows a household to integrate a variety of investment products and services into a single account for easier management (2006).—Launched an online investment management proposal system (2007).—Formulated the dollar value averaging program, which enables investors to put more money into their portfolios when the market is undervalued and less when it’s overvalued, thus maximizing their input (2009).

Introduced the Personalized Distribution Strategy, which helps investors meet current spending needs without compromising long-term investment plans (2009).—Created a mobile application that allows investors to review their accounts anywhere, anytime (2010).

Because the portfolio investors have today won’t be the same as the portfolio they have in fi ve years, we continually look for ways to innovate.

We believe that the best way to inspire trust and confi dence is to reinforce the support we provide. We look beyond typical style boxes, the usual investment classes, and popular fund managers for better strategies. An intensive, team-based approach enables us to generate ideas, drawing on our long experience and newest insights.

We incorporate our best ideas into portfolios, so that they refl ect our most up-to-date approaches for the short and long term. All of this supplies you with a ready source for intelligent, useful solutions.

Following trends can get you lost. So we lead.

Through the years, we’ve stayed ahead of the times.

IndependentAnalysis

10

When we’re putting together a portfolio, we thoroughly research every asset manager and strategy under consideration to make sure they meet our standards.We start by analyzing strategy options based on expected returns, historic returns, and market volatility. Armed with our in-depth research, we can make informed, strategic decisions about how to allocate assets.

Then we turn our attention to asset management fi rms. With a careful, step-by-step process, we investigate the consistency of their performance, the shrewdness of their investment process, the quality of their associates, and the soundness of their business.

That way, you have a thoughtful, independent point of view on how to invest, and the proof to back it up.

To have confi dence, you have to have choices.

Hands-on Management

12

With more than 20 years of investment management experience, Brinker Capital has a wealth of expertise to draw on in day-to-day money management.

Because market conditions can change in the blink of an eye, we take an active approach to investing. That may mean capitalizing on ineffi ciencies, adapting investing styles, or implementing new strategies to take advantage of new market opportunities.

To ensure funds and fund managers are meeting the investor’s goals, we perform regular analyses on their performance. When appropriate, we’ll reallocate portfolios to target ineffi ciencies or eliminate fund managers.

Likewise, an investor’s needs, time horizon, risk tolerance, or tax situation may shift. We move quickly to ensure that their portfolio refl ects these changes.

By staying active and diligent, we can help investors pursue their goals without missing potential opportunities.

Building a portfolio is just the beginning. So we stay with you, every step of the way.

13

Knowing the pluses and minuses. Weighing the opportunities and risks.

14

That’s the Brinker Capital discipline.

HistoryandOverview

Experience. Reliability. Access. Insight. Intelligence. Excellence.

Brinker Capital, a leading investment management fi rm with over 120 employees, is headquartered in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. The company was founded by Charles Widger in 1987 based on the beliefs that individuals have diverse investment goals and that everyone should have access to the same investment services that are available to large institutions, foundations, and endowments. Because of this, Brinker Capital has seen substantial growth since its inception and has evolved into an investment management fi rm that provides competitive risk-adjusted returns and related investment management services to both investors and advisors.

Our portfolios span six asset classes, including both traditional strategies—domestic equity, international equity, and fi xed income—and alternatives, including absolute return, real assets, and private equity.

This broad diversifi cation translates into broader opportunities. It means investors have access to products and strategies that aren’t generally available to individuals.

Our approach to excellence in investment management is based on four core principles. They help us stay focused and fl exible, so that every decision we make and every strategy we implement serves the investor.

Diversifi cationWe invest in a full range of asset classes, offering traditional strategies (domestic equity, international equity, and fi xed income) and alternatives (including absolute return, real assets, and private equity). We ensure our clients have access to products and strategies usually only available to large, institutional investors.

InnovationWe continually look for ways to innovate, drawing on our extensive experience to fi nd better investment strategies for the long term. This combination of curiosity and fl exibility means that you have a ready source for new ideas and smart solutions.

Mutual Fund Investment Program:Destinations

Brinker Capital’s Destinations mutual fund program offers a variety of asset allocation strategies, each targeting a specifi c investment objective. Whatever an investor’s goals may be, we have a strategy to help reach them.

Our strategies offer different balances of risk and reward, depending on an investor’s risk tolerance and time horizon. They’re all designed to offer consistent, competitive performance while seeking to achieve better risk-adjusted returns over the long term.

DEFENSIVE(Qualifi ed and Taxable)

For the investor looking for low volatility with limited growth potential. Typically, it is a predominantly fi xed income portfolio with a small equity component and exposure to alternative asset classes.

CONSERVATIVE (Qualifi ed and Taxable)

For the investor focused on preserving wealth through low volatility and some growth potential. Typically, we build a conservative program with a predominance of fi xed income assets, as well as an equity component and exposure to alternative asset classes.

MODERATELY CONSERVATIVE (Qualifi ed and Taxable)

For the investor seeking long-term capital growth with a moderate level of volatility. This strategy usually includes a greater allocation to fi xed income than to equity, but also includes a substantial allocation to equity and exposure to alternative asset classes.

MODERATE (Qualifi ed and Taxable)

For the investor looking for long-term growth of capital, who can tolerate a moderate level of volatility. Most often this program emphasizes equity, but also contains a signifi cant allocation to fi xed income and exposure to alternative asset classes.

AGGRESSIVE(Qualifi ed and Taxable)

For the investor looking to achieve long-term capital appreciation without much concern for risk.

AGGRESSIVE EQUITY(Qualifi ed and Taxable)

For the investor who wants to maximize long-term capital appreciation and is willing to accept a high level of volatility.

MODERATELY AGGRESSIVE(Qualifi ed and Taxable)

For the investor who prioritizes long-term capital appreciation and is willing to take on a higher level of volatility than a balanced portfolio. Typically, we place the most emphasis on equity; however, we also make a meaningful allocation to fi xed income and alternative asset classes.

We also offer specialized strategies within Destinations.

Destinations features

CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT FOCUSED

For the investor who wants to minimize risk but does not require absolute stability of principal. This portfolio seeks to achieve more attractive returns over time than U.S. government money markets. We create this portfolio to perform well relative to other asset allocations when markets are risk-averse. However, because some holdings are longer in duration, the portfolio can be more susceptible to interest rate changes. Likewise, this portfolio can have negative returns in a rising rate environment or when markets are leaving U.S. treasuries for riskier assets. It is not a principal-protected product, nor a cash or money market substitute.

BALANCED INCOME STRATEGY(Qualifi ed and Taxable)

For the investor seeking to generate a high level of current income with a moderate level of principal volatility. Brinker Capital designed this portfolio to produce income and balance infl ation by investing approximately 60% in dividend-paying equities and 40% in fi xed income securities. It also includes a substantial allocation to equities and potentially some exposure to alternative asset classes. We use a value-style equity orientation in an effort to decrease overall volatility.

PERSONALIZED DISTRIBUTION STRATEGYFor the investor who wants to generate income for current spending needs. This customized solution involves a withdrawal strategy that delivers a “paycheck” for a specifi c period. It also manages reserves to provide for long-term needs through thoughtful cash replenishment based on technical analysis.

DOLLAR VALUE AVERAGINGFor the investor willing to take on risk over the long-term to meet goals. Brinker Capital created this strategy on the time-tested principle of “buy low, sell high.” When the market declines, more of the portfolio will be invested to maximize purchasing power. When the market rises in value, less of the portfolio will be invested in the market and more will remain in cash. We systematically increase market exposure from the start to a predetermined end date; however, investors can also discontinue this systematic plan and invest fully in the market any time they choose.

PersonalPortfoliosMade Simple

Investing can be complicated. But it doesn’t have to be. With Brinker Capital’s Unifi ed Managed Account Platform, managing money is even simpler.

This program includes a highly diversifi ed, long-term investment strategy, designed specifi cally for an investor’s goals, time horizon, and tax situation. A comprehensive portfolio can incorporate managed accounts, mutual funds, and ETFs, bringing them together for easier oversight. Likewise, a unifi ed managed account platform provides consolidated performance reporting, ongoing tax management, and risk and return management.

We also provide personalized tax transition services. By coordinating the taxable actions of asset managers, we can manage the tax, risk, and allocation consequences of any changes made to a portfolio.

Because each investor has different objectives, our Personal Portfolios delivered through the UMA platform offer multiple asset allocation strategies. Each strategy has been thoughtfully constructed and seeks to deliver consistent, competitive performance within its stated risk and return parameters.

For the investor focused on preserving wealth through low volatility and some growth potential.

UMA TAX TRANSITION FEATURE

The Personal Portfolios tax transition feature provides a thoughtful way to create, implement and manage a plan customized to meet your unique needs. These strategies are designed with the understanding that every client has a different tax situation and unique investment objectives. We take a hands-on approach to developing a transition strategy unique to each investor; working with you and your advisor we will review your risk tolerance, objectives and tax management priorities. Our investment professionals evaluate each case on an individual basis and will implement an effective strategy best suited to meet your needs. Depending on your objectives, the timing of the transition and the asset allocation will vary.

While often overlooked, tax management and the related transition planning are critical components of transferring your assets to a diversifi ed portfolio that meets your investment goals and objectives. The Personal Portfolios with the tax transition strategy combines tax management with a robust asset allocation that can incorporate managed accounts, mutual funds and ETFs in one fully diversifi ed portfolio. With a focus on tax-effi cient management and diversifi cation, these portfolios have the ability to manage the tax, risk and allocation consequences of transactions by coordinating the taxable actions of the managers

Core AssetManager:SeparatelyManagedAccounts(SMA)

With Brinker Capital’s Core Asset Manager, investors can directly own individual securities managed by investment managers that have been subjected to our rigorous screening. Direct ownership allows an investor to restrict certain securities or “social” investing classes from a portfolio, and take advantage of potential tax effi ciencies.

Based on specifi c investment objectives, Core Asset Manager offers a tailored investment strategy including stocks, bonds, cash, and other individual securities. Where appropriate, we also utilize mutual funds, ETFs, and limited partnerships.

To us, security and growth are not mutually exclusive. In addition to giving investors greater control over their investments, Core Asset Manager aims to protect the absolute value of core assets, while providing a competitive rate of return.

Investors don’t have the same goals. They shouldn’t have the same portfolios either.


Investment decisions should be made based on the investor’s specifi c fi nancial needs and objectives, goals, time horizon, tax liability, and risk tolerance. When

investing in managed accounts and wrap accounts, there may be additional fees and expenses added onto the fees of the underlying investment products.

CrystalStrategy I

Crystal Strategy I is an absolute return portfolio offered within a separately managed account structure that seeks to capture returns in both good and bad markets.

Utilizing both tactical and strategic process, Crystal Strategy I seeks to outpace infl ation by 3-5% over a full market cycle.

CS1_INTRO

1055 Westlakes Drive / Suite 250 / Berwyn, PA 19312800.333.4573Brinker Capital, Inc., a Registered Investment Advisor.

As an absolute return strategy, Crystal Strategy I uses a diversifi ed approach, active and passive strategies and strong risk management to reach a targeted return over a specifi c market cycle.

MANAGED VOLATILITY

Doesn’t Chase an Index – Crystal Strategy I is designed to reach a targeted return over a 3-year market cycle. This time-tested investment philosophy has been used successfully by large academic endowments and foundations.

SIX ASSET CLASS METHODOLOGY

Broad Asset Class Diversifi cation – Crystal Strategy I is broadly diversifi ed across six major asset classes and has an average of 40 different strategies at work at any given time. The portfolio uses multi-sector strategies that are transparent and offer daily liquidity. In addition to researching and adding industry-leading managers, Brinker employs a highly focused stock selection approach.

ACTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT

Hedge Market Risk – Crystal Strategy I may employ the following hedging methodologies to reduce overall portfolio risk: short positions in the market, reallocations to more stable asset classes such as fi xed income or absolute return, or placing an emphasis on specifi c strategies with less market risk.

Seeks to achieve “equity-like” capital appreciation with an emphasis on absolute (positive) returns and low correlation to the S&P 500 Index by diversifying heavily in both traditional and non-traditional asset classes.

For Financial Advisor use only in a one-on-one presentation.

Drawdowns, or the reduction a portfolio might experience when the market retraces, are an inevitable part of any investment. However, because Crystal Strategy I can go long or short, it has limited the drawdowns more effectively than the S&P 500 Index.

CrystalStrategy I

Asset allocation does not assure a profi t or protection against loss. Investing in any investment vehicle carries risk, including the possible loss of principal, and there can be no assurance that any investment strategy will provide positive performance over a period of time. The asset classes and/or investment strategies described in this publication may not be suitable for all investors. Investment decisions should be made based on the investor’s specifi c fi nancial needs and objectives, goals, time horizon, tax liability, and risk tolerance. When investing in managed accounts and wrap accounts, there may be additional fees and expenses added onto the fees of the underlying investment products.


Returns are based on actual market values and are weighted accordingly. Time periods were selected by Brinker Capital and are shown for illustrative purposes only. Returns are calculated gross (before the deduction) of advisory fees payable to Brinker Capital and any other expenses for services not covered by the advisory fee including administrative costs, which would reduce your return.

The net effect of the deduction of Brinker Capital’s fees on annualized performance, including the compounded effectover time, is determined by the relative size of the fee and the account’s investment performance. The chart to theright depicts the effect of a 1% management fee on the growth of one dollar over a ten year period at 10% (9% after fees), 5% (4% after fees) and 3% (2% after fees) assumed rates of return.

Brinker Capital Crystal Strategy I will vary its investment strategy depending on the perceived market and economic conditions. As a result, the portfolio is dynamic and will change over time.
