Company A is a classic Blue Chip company. Company A has highly persistent cash flow return on investment (CFROI®) and moderate to low asset growth.

Company B return and asset growth profile are higher and more volatile than what is historically observed for Blue Chip companies.

Sustainable Growth strategies invest in companies rapidly growing their economic profits

Economic Profits (EP) represent the Economic Earnings of a firm. Economic Profit is proportional to the spread on company’s return on capital and the cost of capital.

Economic Profits increase when a company increases CFROI or Asset Growth (holding other inputs constant). If a

firm earns the cost of capital, EP is zero. CFROI below the cost of capital or negative asset growth destroys shareholder

value.

High & increasing returns

well above the cost of capital

Company has reinvested heavily into the

business and grown at an average 25% Y/Y

Economic Profit has grown

rapidly particularly in the last two

years as returns increased

There is a positive relationship between Economic Profit and

market capitalization.

• Over time, market cap tends to increase with a company’s

ability to grow Economic Profit year-over-year, and shrink when

Economic Profit declines.

• The correlation between change in Economic Profit and change in

market cap for the current Russell 1000 universe is 69%

companies that are reinvesting as much capital in their business as possible.

Our Sustainable Dividend portfolios emphasize companies who have struck the correct balance between growing their

business and returning capital to shareholders.

deduction of withholding taxes. 4 Returns based characteristics are gross of fees for the European Sustainable Dividend Equity Composite.

The European Sustainable Dividend Composite includes all fully discretionary portfolios that are managed to the European Sustainable Dividend Strategy. Prior to April 30, 2015, accounts were initially included when 95% of assets in the

account were tracking the model and the cash balance comprises less than 2.5%. Beginning April 30, 2015, accounts will be initially included when the cash balance is less than 7.5% of the account. Portfolios included in the composite are

not necessarily 100% invested to the model for all time periods. All accounts pay a "wrap fee" based on a percentage of assets under management. The maximum wrap fee schedule charged to accounts in the composite is 2.0%. Actual fees

incurred by clients may vary. Past performance reflects the reinvestment of all dividends, gains, earnings and income. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.

Gross-of-fees results are gross of the entire wrap fee and are shown as supplemental information. Net-of-fees results are net of the entire wrap fee. Both gross and net results are reduced by execution costs. See last page for

additional information. Past performance is not indicative of future results. This information presented is supplemental to a GIPS®-compliant presentation, which is included in the appendix to this material. For illustrative

3 S&P/TSX Composite Index is a capitalization-weighted index designed to measure activity of stocks listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). . 4 Returns based characteristics are gross of fees for the Canada Model Portfolio.

Net performance is calculated by taking into account an annual fee. The fee covers investment advice, execution, custody, administrative and account reporting services. Gross performance is computed before deducting annual fees. Actual

investment advisory fees incurred by clients may vary. For comparison purposes, the HOLT Canada Portfolio is measured against the S&P /TSX. It should not be assumed that the benchmark represents a similar investment strategy or asset

classes to the Credit Suisse Canada Portfolio. Indices cannot be invested in directly, are unmanaged and do not incur management fees, costs or expenses. If an index had expenses, its performance would be lower. Index returns have not

been examined. Monthly returns are calculated using the Modified Dietz formula. This methodology has been applied consistently for all periods. Other methods may produce different results. Historical rates of return may not be indicative of

future rates of return. Additional information regarding the calculation methodology is available upon request. Quarterly and annual rates of return for the Guidance Portfolio are computed by compounding the monthly rates of return for the

indicated number of months. Returns are based on realized and unrealized gains and losses and do include the effect of cash and the reinvestment of dividends. A third party examination of the strategy in accordance with attestation standards

generally accepted in the US has been conducted by Ashland Partners & Company LLP for the period February 28, 2012 through September 30, 2016 and is available upon request.

return/risk characteristics consistent with the investment objectives. Limited rebalancing occurs on a monthly basis with

heavier rebalancing on a quarterly to annual horizon.

Global Sustainable Dividend Strategy

HOLT® Capital Discipline Group is a group within Credit Suisse Asset Management (“CSAM”) that provides investment advisory and management services. Using a proprietary framework, the HOLT Capital Discipline Group constructs equity portfolios for retail and institutional clients. Prior to April 2016, the firm operated under Credit Suisse Asset Management AG and provided services through Credit Suisse’s Discretionary Managed Portfolios Program.

HOLT® Capital Discipline Group claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. HOLT® Capital Discipline Group has been independently verified for the periods July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2015. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The HOLT Global Sustainable Dividend Composite has been examined for the periods January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2015. Benchmark returns and gross of fee composite returns have not been examined. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.

The HOLT Global Sustainable Dividend - All World Composite includes all fully discretionary portfolios that are managed to the HOLT Global Sustainable Dividend - All World Strategy. The objective of the strategy is to seek current income, income growth, and capital appreciation by investing in U.S. and foreign stocks. Historically, exposure to foreign securities was primarily obtained through liquid American Depository Receipts (ADRs). Beginning January 2015, accounts in the composites must have the ability to directly invest in foreign stocks but may also obtain foreign exposure through ADRs. The date of the redefinition reflects the timing when Global Sustainable Dividend - All World began to be offered as a separate variation of the Global Sustainable Dividend investment strategy and was implemented when the composite was created. The change was made in order to better reflect the performance of Global Sustainable Dividend - All World portfolios that obtain foreign exposure primarily through direct investment in foreign securities, rather than through ADRs. The strategy focuses on high quality, blue chip companies with deep defensive moats, sustainable cash flows, and attractive valuations, without geographic constraints. These cash flow rich companies have excess capital to return to shareholders and are largely focused on wealth distribution. The Global Sustainable Dividend - All World Strategy leverages the Sustainable Dividend methodology powered by HOLT, an innovative stock selection method that offers a consistent, structured, and repeatable investment process. Portfolios must be materially invested to the model and hold a minimal amount of cash and other non-model assets prior to initial inclusion in the composite. Portfolios included in the composite are not necessarily 100% invested to the model for all time periods. The composite creation date is December 2014. The benchmark used for this composite is the MSCI ACWI Index (net) which is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. Net total return indexes reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes.

Certain accounts in the composite pay a "wrap fee" based on a percentage of assets under management. The wrap fee includes portfolio management services, administrative fees, account reporting services, SEC and exchange fees associated with account activity, as well as maintenance and custodial fees related to the account. Net performance results for wrap-fee accounts have been reduced by the entire actual wrap fee charged to each portfolio included in the composite. Starting in 2015, the composite includes non-wrap accounts, where management fees and expenses incurred are not bundled into one fee. For non-wrap accounts, net-of-fees results have been reduced by actual management fees and other expenses incurred. All performance results have been reduced by commissions and other charges incurred in connection with transactions, as well as fees, charges or other costs and expenses related to trading in foreign securities and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) conversion fees, which are not included in the wrap fee (when applicable). As of each year-end from inception through 2014, 100% of the composite assets paid a wrap fee. As of year-end 2015, 97.7% of the composite assets paid a wrap fee.

Gross performance results for wrap-fee accounts are gross of the entire wrap fee and, therefore, gross-of-fees composite results are presented as supplemental information. Gross-of-fees results for non-wrap accounts are gross of management fees and expenses. Beginning July 2016, gross-of-fees composite results are calculated by aggregating account-level gross-of-fees returns. Prior to July 2016, gross-of-fees composite results were calculated by increasing net-of-fees results by the weighted-average fee paid by the accounts in the composite. The maximum wrap fee schedule charged to accounts in the composite is 2.0%. Actual fees incurred by clients may vary.

Valuations are computed and performance is reported in U.S. dollars. All returns include the reinvestment of income and dividends. When applicable, performance is net of foreign withholding taxes. The measure of composite dispersion presented is the asset-weighted standard deviation of annual portfolio returns for portfolios included in the composite for the full year. The three-year annualized standard deviation of monthly returns for the composite and the benchmark are not presented when 36 consecutive monthly returns are not yet available for the composite. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request. A complete list of composite descriptions is available upon request. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In September 2016, the strategy experienced changes to the investment team due to the departure of two portfolio managers. The management transition did not result in any alteration to the investment process.

US Small Cap Blue Chip Strategy

HOLT® Capital Discipline Group is a group within Credit Suisse Asset Management (“CSAM”) that provides investment advisory and management services. Using a proprietary framework, the HOLT Capital Discipline Group constructs equity portfolios for retail and institutional clients. Prior to April 2016, the firm operated under Credit Suisse Asset Management AG and provided services through Credit Suisse’s Discretionary Managed Portfolios Program.

HOLT® Capital Discipline Group claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. HOLT® Capital Discipline Group has been independently verified for the periods July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2015. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The HOLT U.S. Small Cap Blue Chip Composite has been examined for the periods October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2015. Benchmark returns and gross of fee composite returns have not been examined. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.

The HOLT U.S. Small Cap Blue Chip Composite includes all fully discretionary portfolios that are managed to the HOLT U.S. Small Cap Blue Chip Strategy. The strategy generally invests in approximately fewer than fifty U.S. Small Cap stocks and focuses on well managed, best-in-class companies with improving fundamentals and attractive valuations. The U.S. Small Cap Blue Chip Strategy leverages the Capital Appreciation methodology powered by HOLT, an innovative stock selection method that offers a consistent, structured, and repeatable investment process. Portfolios must be materially invested to the model and hold a minimal amount of cash and other non-model assets prior to initial inclusion in the composite. Portfolios included in the composite are not necessarily 100% invested to the model for all time periods. The composite creation date is December 2014.The benchmark for this composite is the Russell 2000 Index which is an market-capitalization weighted index measuring the performance of the 2,000 smallest U.S. companies, on a market capitalization basis, in the Russell 3000 Index.

Prior to April 2016, accounts in the composite paid a "wrap fee" based on a percentage of assets under management. The wrap fee included portfolio management services, administrative fees, account reporting services, SEC and exchange fees associated with account activity, as well as maintenance and custodial fees related to the account. Net performance results for wrap-fee accounts have been reduced by the entire actual wrap fee charged to each portfolio included in the composite. As of each year-end from inception through 2015, 100% of the composite assets paid a wrap fee. Starting in March 2016, the composite includes non-wrap accounts, where management fees and expenses incurred are not bundled into one fee. For non-wrap accounts, net-of-fees results have been reduced by actual management fees but are gross of administrative expenses. All performance results have been reduced by commissions and other charges incurred in connection with transactions, as well as fees, charges or other costs and expenses related to trading in foreign securities and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) conversion fees, which are not included in the wrap fee (when applicable).

Gross performance results for wrap-fee accounts are gross of the entire wrap fee and, therefore, gross-of-fees composite results prior to July 2016 are presented as supplemental information. Gross-of-fees results for non-wrap accounts are gross of management fees and expenses. Beginning July 2016, gross-of-fees composite results are calculated by aggregating account-level gross-of-fees returns. Prior to July 2016, gross-of-fees composite results were calculated by increasing net-of-fees results by the weighted-average fee paid by the accounts in the composite. The maximum wrap fee schedule charged to accounts in the composite is 2.0%. Actual fees incurred by clients may vary.

Valuations are computed and performance is reported in U.S. dollars. All returns include the reinvestment of income and dividends. When applicable, performance is net of foreign withholding taxes. The measure of composite dispersion presented is the asset-weighted standard deviation of annual portfolio returns for portfolios included in the composite for the full year. The three-year annualized standard deviation of monthly returns for the composite and the benchmark are not presented when 36 consecutive monthly returns are not yet available for the composite. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request. A complete list of composite descriptions is available upon request. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

In September 2016, the strategy experienced changes to the investment team due to the departure of two portfolio managers. The management transition did not result in any alteration to the investment process.

The reader should not assume that any investments in companies, securities, sectors, strategies and/or markets identified or described herein were or will be profitable or that these investment opportunities will be executed upon or available upon similar terms if executed upon by an investment fund or account sponsored by the manager. The investment strategy described herein relies on proprietary models and predictions with regard to the performance of an asset class or particular investment generated by these models and may not be accurate because of imperfections in the models, their deterioration over time, or other factors, such as the quality of the data input into the model, which involves the exercise of judgment. Even if the model functions as anticipated, it cannot account for all factors that may influence the prices of the investments, such as event risk.

All accounts pay a "wrap fee" based on a percentage of assets under management. The wrap fee includes portfolio management services, administrative fees, account reporting

services, SEC and exchange fees associated with account activity, as well as maintenance and custodial fees related to the account. Net performance results have been reduced by the

actual wrap fee charged to each portfolio included in the composite. Gross performance results are gross of the entire wrap fee and are provided as supplemental information. Both

gross and net performance results have been reduced by commissions and other charges incurred in connection with transactions as well as fees, charges or other costs and

expenses related to trading in foreign securities and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) conversion fees, which are not included in the wrap fee. Gross-of-fees results were

calculated by increasing net-of-fees results by the weighted-average fee paid by the accounts in the composite. The maximum wrap fee schedule charged to accounts in the composite

is 2.0%. Actual fees incurred by clients may vary.

The HOLT methodology does not assign ratings or a target price to a security. It is an analytical tool that involves use of a set of proprietary quantitative algorithms and warranted value calculations, collectively called the HOLT valuation model, that are consistently applied to all the companies included in its database. Third-party data (including consensus earnings estimates) are systematically translated into a number of default variables and incorporated into the algorithms available in the HOLT valuation model. The source financial statement, pricing, and earnings data provided by outside data vendors are subject to quality control and may also be adjusted to more closely measure the underlying economics of firm performance. These adjustments provide consistency when analyzing a single company across time, or analyzing multiple companies across industries or national borders. The default scenario that is produced by the HOLT valuation

model establishes a warranted price for a security, and as the third-party data are updated, the warranted price may also change. The default variables may also be adjusted to produce alternative warranted prices, any of which could occur. Additional information about the HOLT methodology is available on request.
