Enhanced Income Portfolio 1

Suitability

An active, diversified source of income designed for low or rising interest rate environments

Portfolio Features

The Enhanced Income Portfolio is suitable for investors who:• Struggle with historically low fixed income yields and have little confidence in growth

strategies following the ‘lost decade’ for capital appreciation• Seek higher levels of risk-adjusted income • Worry about the potential for bond prices to fall if interest rates rise• Do not think the world economy will experience a ‘double-dip’ recession• Require liquidity and a level of principal preservation† but can tolerate increased volatility in

exchange for higher income2

• Have an investment time horizon of three to five years

Due to the nature of this Explore portfolio and its potential for volatility we suggest reviewing your investment risk tolerance with your advisor before making a investment greater than 10% of your total investable net worth in this portfolio.

Investment Philosophy

DIAS portfolios are based on the principle that actively allocating capital to the most attractive asset classes, while avoiding the least attractive, is potentially more effective than selecting the best security or investment manager in an unattractive asset class. DIAS tracks many economic and market condi-tions, indicators and trends in the search for investments which may meet the stated objectives and risk tolerances of each portfolio.

The Enhanced Income Portfolio actively allocates capital to diversified income-producing invest-ments within asset classes which have the best potential for risk-adjusted income and the lowest potential for capital depreciation, in the opinion of the investment manager. These allocations are dynamically modified in order to adapt to changing economic and financial conditions.

The generation of high levels of risk-adjusted income involves the assessment of credit quality, mar-ket cycle position and the practical threats facing each asset class, region and individual investment. For example, when interest rates are at historical lows and may be poised to rise, bond values may fall as a result. However, rising inflation and interest rates have historically benefitted commodi-ties, commodity-based regions and specific sectors and areas of equity markets. Risk assessment is therefore a combination of historical performance and future prospects.

Current Holdings

There are more than twenty different asset classes which may generate investment income. The attraction of each different income producing asset class depends upon many factors including interest rates, inflation and position in various economic cycles. Many of these asset classes are not as sensitive to interest rates as bonds; however, they may be more sensitive to economic cycles. All investments possess different risk factors which must be carefully considered prior to purchase. Enhanced Income will constantly review all these methods of income generation and actively al-locate capital to those asset classes which the DIAS investment committee feels may offer a higher level of income with a lower probability of capital depreciation, when compared to traditional fixed income markets and considering current economic cycles.

Portfolio Characteristics

The Enhanced Income Portfolio seeks a level of income above that traditionally offered by fixed in-come investments during periods of low interest rates. The investment manager believes: • Higher interest rates may threaten the value and price stability of many bond investments.3 • Following an outstanding period of appreciation, bond prices may be approaching a period of

capital depreciation. As a percentage, this price depreciation may reach a level that wipes-out multiple years of income gains.

• Yields and credit quality are increasingly attractive in many non-developed economies and non-tradi-tional income generating markets.

• Income generation, and not the constant pursuit of rising prices, is the primary investment objective for many investors; capital appreciation and short-term stability are secondary.

• The time may be right to diversify a portion of investment income away from traditional bonds into a more balanced and diversified income portfolio.

Prior to selection, all investments are quality assessed and approved based on credit, balance sheet so-lidity, volatility and liquidity measures. In order to produce the target income, the Enhanced Income Portfolio may experience greater turnover than a traditional buy and hold strategy. For example, one portfolio objective will be the rotation of dividend-paying equities approximately three times per year in order to effectively employ capital and increase yield. Minimum investment is $50,000 which can be funded as cash or ‘in-kind’ securities.

Due to the nature of high yield, high turnover dividend paying securities, regular cash withdrawals from this portfolio may be detrimental to performance. The investment manager recommends all in-vestors with a current income need should hold a minimum of six months of required income as liquid cash or cash equivalents in an account separate to the Enhanced Income Portfolio.

DIAS asset allocations may change over time based on proprietary and non-proprietary research and analysis which attempts to take advantage of changing market conditions and investment opportunities. The aim is to dynamically manage the portfolio with the goal of investing in asset classes where the balance of risk and income potential appears attractive while avoiding unattractive areas. The Portfolio generates income by investing in a variety of investment vehicles listed in the Current Holdings section of this brochure.

Investments are selected using a top down approach which identifies asset type, geographical area, and allocation weights based on factors, including, but not limited to: Real GDP growth, credit quality, interest rate and inflation sensitivity, etc.

Investment Strategy

The Investment Team monitors various income-producing asset classes, their level of yield and proximity to potential turbulence. The goal of the Enhanced Income Portfolio is to guide investors on a long-term in-come journey which seeks to minimize volatility, although investors may experience capital depreciation.

The diagram below illustrates one simplified concept outlining how the Enhanced Income Portfolio constantly monitors various income produc-

Asset Classes and the Income Radar

Individual issues are then prioritized for portfolio inclusion based on cur-rent yield, growth prospects, credit and balance sheet quality, liquidity and value with regard to historical risk and overall portfolio performance.

The non-fixed income components of the portfolio may be allocated to sector, asset-class and regional specific ETFs, Open- and Closed-End Funds and Individual Issues.

The DIAS management team allocates capital to opportunistic income-seeking investments it believes offer prospects for attractive income with capital preservation* as a secondary objective.

ing asset classes and regions. These investments, and their changing income levels and price trends, are assessed with a view to their proximity to investment headwinds and volatile economic conditions, in a similar manner to an aircraft pilot trying to avoid areas of turbulence.

Consultation with an experienced, qualified financial adviser is recommended before investment. Different types of invest-ments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment strategy will be profitable. The use of GFPC offered investment models and strategies may be appropriate for certain investors as part of their overall investment strategy only after a financial advisor has reviewed the prospective investor’s risk tolerance and investment objective.

DIAS portfolios are designed to meet stated investment objectives based on a client Investment Policy Statement (IPS). They are not designed to match equity market returns during strong rallies. Although the portfolios seek low volatility and principal protection, asset allocation decisions may not achieve these goals in all cases. Portfolios may lose money and there can be no guarantee that a stated investment objective will be met. Investments in bonds involve interest rate and credit risk. Bond values change according to changes in interest rates, inflation, credit climate and issuer credit quality. Interest rate rises will reduce the value of a bond. Although longer term bonds may pay more income, their value is more susceptible to interest rate variation than shorter term, lower yield bonds. Stock markets and individual stocks may be subject to large price fluctuations. Diversification can not guarantee to protect an investor from these fluctuations. The use of indexed funds is not fully guaranteed to track an intended market and may carry additional ‘product’ risks. DIAS portfolios are managed by Global Financial Private Capital, LLC and Aviance Capital Management, LLC, both privately-owned, SEC Registered Investment Advisers focusing on the active management of diversified investment portfolios. For further information re-garding the relationship between Global and Aviance, please consult the ADV for each company. Chris Bertelsen is Chief Investment Officer of Aviance Capital Management, LLC an affiliated SEC registered investment adviser. Aviance manages the DIAS portfolios as a sub-adviser to GFPC.

*The Average Current Yield of the Portfolio is the weighted average of the distribution and current yields of the securities in the model portfolio at the time of writing. Distribution yield is the anticipated annual distributions as a percentage of the current price of the security. These distributions are not guaranteed and can fluctuate. The Average Current Yield is not the anticipated annual return of the portfolio. The total annual return of the portfolio is a combination of annual distributions and price fluctuation which can be positive or negative over the course of one year. The average current yield will change over time. There can be no guarantee the portfolio will pay the average yield over any period of time. This yield is gross of all fees.

DIAS investments are made on U.S. exchanges; however, Non-U.S. investments, Currency and Commodity investments may contain additional risks associated with government, economic, political or currency volatility. Emerging market investments can experience high volatility and risk. Different investments involve varying degrees of risk.

The diagrams contained herein are representative of the principles of DIAS portfolio management and should not be relied on as an accurate representation.

† Although the portfolios seek low volatility and principal protection, asset allocation decisions may not achieve these goals in all cases. Portfolios may lose money and there can be no guarantee that a stated investment objective will be met.1 Enhanced Income: Defined as yields greater than those offered by traditional investment grade fixed income securities. 2 Annual income generation dampens portfolio price volatility. If prices fall by say 4% but income generated equals 6%, the total portfolio return is 2% annualized. 3 The credit risk associated with a specific bond issue determines the probability of default (failure to repay principal at maturity or failure to pay interest prior to maturity). Price stability refers to the variation (volatility) of the price of a bond prior to maturity.
