  • Q4 20174

    Top down economics drive market cycles, market segments, and ultimately individual security prices.

    Total return matters, which includes sources of returns often overlooked by investment managers and investors, such as dividends.

    Value is critical; the market will reward the intrinsic value inherent in a security over time.

  • Q4 20177

    Global macro conditions are the basis for investing; top down economics drive market cycles, market segments, and ultimately individual security prices.

    Value is critical; we will not pay more for a security than we believe it is worth, with full confidence that the market will reward the intrinsic value inherent in the security over time.

    Patience is vital; we do not make extreme short term changes in response to fleeting market events, we invest for the long term and believe returns are driven by consistency of process.

    Total return is our focus; we are committed to total return on behalf of our investors, digging deep into a company’s fundamentals to determine its value proposition and opportunities for growth over the short and long term.

    Risk management is required to ensure long term preservation of capital.

    PHILOSOPHY

    Altrius Investment Philosophy

  • Q4 20178

    At Altrius, we believe that global asset allocation valuations matter. Predicated on this belief, we maintain a series of three economic scenarios under which the economy may fall at any one time. By analyzing the valuations inherent in the current economic scenario, we are better positioned to identify securities at the sector, industry and individual company level that are best positioned to add significant value to our portfolio over time.

    Agency Dilemma

    Dividends help reduce problems arising from asymmetric information and conflicts of interest between investors and company

    management.

    Management(Agent)

    Investor(Principal)

    Signaling

    Company management makes decisions about dividend policies using internal

    forecasts; a stable and rising dividend can signal superior future return potential.

    Reliability

    Earnings & cash flows can be manipulated while dividends are a more certain measure

    of the return-generating capacity of a business model; academic research has

    found that dividends provide information about the quality of earnings1.

    In low interest rate environments, investors substitute toward dividend-paying stocks, resulting in higher multiples for higher payout ratios.

    Each stock in the S&P 500 is ranked from lowest to highest by price to earnings ratio on December 31st of every year and placed into “quintiles” (baskets of 100 stocks). The stocks in each quintile are weighted by their market capitalization. The price/earnings ratio is defined as each stock’s net income per share divided by its stock price as of December 31st of that year. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

    RISK MANAGEMENT

    The Value of Risk-Adjusted Returns

  • Q4 201731

    At Altrius we employ a structured risk management perspective throughout our security selection, monitoring, and sell process. By maintaining a data driven, facts oriented investment management process we avoid the bias that can often result in poor risk management decisions.

    As an added risk management component to our investment process, we create worst case and best case scenarios for evaluating market opportunities and risk.

    We do not hesitate to sell securities that we believe are ‘at risk’ based on fundamental factors; we remain agile and focused on our portfolio holdings at all times, prepared to sell securities that are not performing or for which we believe we have identified better candidates to maximize portfolio return and to minimize portfolio risk.

    Companies that cut their dividend are almost always an automatic sell.

    Valuations that exceed 20x earnings become too pricey and typically result in a sell.

    BenchmarkThe benchmarks are the MSCI EAFE Value NR Index, the S&P International Dividend Opportunities and US OE Foreign Large Value.

    The volatility of the indices may be materially different from that of the performance composite. In addition, the composite’s holdings may differ significantly from the securities that comprise the indices . The indices have not been selected to represent appropriate benchmarks to compare the composite’s performance, but rather are disclosed to allow for comparison of the composite’s performance to those of well-known and widely recognized indices. Economic factors, market conditions, and investment strategies will affect the performance of any portfolio, and there are no assurances that it will match or outperform any particular benchmark.

    Performance CalculationsValuations and returns are computed and stated in U.S. dollars. Results reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings.Gross of fee return is net of transaction costs and gross of management and custodian fees. Net-of-fees returns are calculated using actual

    management fees that were paid and are presented before custodial fees and but after management fees and all trading expenses. Returns can be net orgross of withholding taxes, depending on how taxes are recorded at the custodian. Some accounts pay fees outside of their accounts; thus, we enter a non-cash transaction in the performance system such that we can calculate a net of fees return. Prior to 1/1/10, cash was allocated to carve-out segments on apro-rata basis based on beginning of period market values. Beginning 1/1/10, carve-out segments are managed separately with their own cash balance.Carve-out accounts represent 100% of composite assets for periods prior to 1/1/10.

    The standard management fee for the Altrius International ADR Dividend is 1.40% per annum on the first $500,000 USD, 1.00% per annumon the next $500,000 and 0.80% per annum thereafter. Additional information regarding Altrius Capital Management and Altrius InstitutionalAsset Management fees are included in its Part II Form ADV.

    Internal dispersion is calculated using the asset-weighted standard deviation of all accounts included in the composite for the entire year; it is notpresented for periods less than one year or when there were five or fewer portfolios in the composite for the entire year. The three-year annualized standarddeviation measures the variability of the composite and the benchmark (MSCI EAFE Value Index) returns over the preceding 36-month period.

    There are no non-fee paying accounts in our composites. When a security is purchased or sold, the principal amounts tied to the transaction are netof trading costs; therefore the calculation and market values represent amounts net of trading costs. Dispersion is calculated using Asset WeightedStandard Deviation, gross of fees. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available uponrequest. A complete list and description of firm composites is available upon request.
