Imagine A compound annual rate of return of 

over 15-20 years,consistently,

without leverage.

25%

the global financial markets

Then imagine The wealth management business you

could build with

25%

8/7/2019 Asset Mngmnt Coy

Consider that Equities (STOCK MARKET) over the past 

century have grown in the order of 8-10%

per year total-return from economic growth,inflation, and re-invested dividends

The majority of asset managers over the longterm UNDERPERFORM the market becauseof fees, trading, mandate restrictions, andshort-term performance pressure

The implication In the asset management business

is a huge

COMPETITIVE AD V ANT AGE

Over 20 years

$1,000,000 @ 10% grows to $6,727,500

$1,000,000 @ 25% grows to $86,736,200

So who can do 25%? You, I, and a committed team of 

owners at 

using

REAPTM

REAPTM?

Relational - portfolio structure

Equity - securities holdings

 Allocation - decision process

Program - the overall system TM - our proprietary edge

Skeptical?

Why would WE be able to separate 25%from the markets when most trained money

managers can only dream of doing that?

Research Randomized simulation

REAPTM algorithm manufactures a specific

compounding effect  Hundreds of test runs paint a clear statistical

picture of expected returns

Rates of return can be forecast based on one

proprietary easy-to-measure metric

Testing with historical stock price data Confirms simulations

8/7/2019 Asset Mngmnt Coy

Test results Randomized simulation (20 year)

lowest return was 13% annual compound rate of return (ARR)

highest was 35% ARR the predominant mid-range was 22%-28% ARR

Historical back-testing (20 years) Confirms simulated ARRs

Model portfolio since Nov 2004 $1M invested in 60 stocks 1 Nov Up 50% to date vs 23% (S&P500)

Taxes All comparisons are before taxes

Compounding Is unimpaired in non-taxable accounts

Is unimpaired in tax-deferred accounts

Is unimpaired in a low-tax jurisdiction

(offshore) Can be mostly preserved with modest 

application of margin in taxableenvironment

OK, so then how does it work? The specifics are proprietary but it involves

a unique portfolio structure that  drives the compounding reduces risk

is highly scalable without compromising performance

reduces operating costs

a unique trading algorithm that  provides specific buy, sell and trade size instructions

is easy to administer

lends itself to automation

 Actual trading 2 years Kids education savings plan account 

Since 1 Nov 2004

Cash account - no leverage Up 56% vs 23% (S&P500) as of 1 Nov 2006

total increase, not compounded

 After currency loss of 15% (securities are all U.S.)

Extra currency conversion losses on trades becauseregistered account has to be in CAD

 About 4% dividend income included

In USD terms, performance more like 72%

The business edge 1 The REAPTM algorithm

Superior compounding beats the indices and most competition

2 The portfolio structure

 Accommodates very large portfolios ($100Ms through$ billions)

a key for large institutional clients directly addresses the liquidity problems large portfolios

normally face size does not impair performance!

For asset-allocation and balanced portfolios can combine equities, debt instruments, convertibles,

currencies, precious metals, and commodities

More defensive than indices in bear markets important risk management feature multiple diversification features

The catch - time By definition, all business models based

on compounding take time

Warren Buffett is not a multi-billionairebecause of quits hits, short-termthinking, or a desire for short-term

results

Performance criteria for fees Clients only pay AFTER

they are ahead in absolute terms 10% annually

compounded, AND the S&P500 annually compounded

Benchmark is the greater of these two values

Try and Buy Two separate accounts for prospective

institutional clients (US & Canada)

Institutions place a small trialinvestment in the respective T ABaccount 

Very low risk

Experience what their clients would

Target market Other asset management firms

Banks, brokerages, mutual funds, ETFs Pension funds Foundations, trusts, endowment funds Insurance reserves Government funds

Social safety-nets; entitlement programs

Individuals High-net-worth per current rules (e.g. $250K and higher) NOT the general public

for regulatory reasons  Avoids expensive retail cost structure

First Client  Me

 AMCo will manage my family RSP and

RESP accounts, as a client  Why?

I use the model now anyway

Company has at least one client on thebooks to start 

Walk the talk

 AMCo Capital Structure One class of voting common shares

5 Managing Shareholders 5 x 1100 shares @ USD $10 = USD $55,000

Up to 45 Founding shareholders 4500 shares @ USD $10 = USD $45,000

Minimum 100 shares; maximum 1000 shares each

Total capitalization

10,000 shares @ USD $10 = USD $100,000 Use of funds

USD $30,000 expenses (otherwise interest-bearing)UDS $70,000 house account invested with the model

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asset-mngmnt-coy 30/41

Cost structure Low cost-structure culture for maximum

return to shareholders No salaries, fees, bonuses, options etc. Shareholders provide sweat equity no one has

to give up day-job until a major client is landed $30,000 expense account for

Professional fees Sales costs Other directly related cost as may be applicable

 Additional future expenses to be funded from feeincome within an approved budget

How AMCo shareholders make money Capital growth of  AMCo + any dividends or distributions Opus Investment Club capital growth, income, and

distributions

only open to  AMCo shareholders encouraged but optional participation

AMCo can optionally manage a portion of shareholders own personal assets (like me)

Client referral fees 30% of total fees  AMCo earns from referred clients

AMCo IPO at a significant multiple to net asset value THE BIG PAY-OFF if everything goes according to plan

8/7/2019 Asset Mngmnt Coy

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asset-mngmnt-coy 32/41

Why the Investment Club?  A vehicle for shareholders to do the 25% program directly

with their own personal assets Cannot market to the public, but CLUB OK  CLUB emulates an  AMCo client, (and will become one at 

the $250,000 threshold) Provides a needed track record for marketing to the big

clients - thereforeMUST FOLLOW THE MODEL to the tee!

Separate CLUB accounts for Canada and for US if there isa significant mix of residency among  AMCo shareholders Monthly Net Asset  Value calculations will allow new

money (lump sum or monthly) to go into the account (andout) at the correct pro-rata NA V value

8/7/2019 Asset Mngmnt Coy

Obtaining clients Referrals, referrals, referrals

Keep costs low

Based on trust / relationships

Managing shareholders expected to meet withpotential HNI / institutional clients as opportunitiespresent (e.g if visiting a city anyway)

Founding shareholders introduce such clients to

management, who will close the sale  All AMCo shareholders can earn a commission against 

client fees for clients they bring in

8/7/2019 Asset Mngmnt Coy

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asset-mngmnt-coy 34/41

Shareholder incentive 30% of all fee revenue earned by AMCo

for clients brought in by the shareholder

Must personally introduce the prospect tothe management team

 Acceptance of client subject to approval by

management to ensure compliance withlaws (e.g. money laundering etc)

For as long as AMCo has the client 

8/7/2019 Asset Mngmnt Coy

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asset-mngmnt-coy 35/41

Risk management  Keep personal investments modest 

until the operating model both investments ANDrelationships prove to work smoothly

The model calls for staying fully invested the account WILL go down with the rest of the market for a periodof time (but is designed and tests to outperformthe general market with inherent defensive properties)

Dont use money that may be imminently needed forother purposes  AMCo works long-term.

CLUB funds are not vested or locked belong to the member, and can be withdrawn at any time

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asset-mngmnt-coy 36/41

Shareholder/member protection I will run the model, have trading authority, provide

accounting, and calculate NA Vs (with a non-relatedmanaging shareholder as a backup)

 All accounts will be with a bank-sponsored discount broker Two other shareholders (managing treasurer + any

other non-related shareholder) will co-sign allcheques and authorize shareholder funds withdrawals

 All members will be able to log into accounts in whichthey have an interest, with viewing (but not trading)authority

NA Vs will be based on account values less approvedexpenses incurred outside the account as agreedand applicable.

8/7/2019 Asset Mngmnt Coy

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asset-mngmnt-coy 37/41

Client protection Clients will hold accounts with a third

party

 AMCo will simply manage the tradingaccording to the model, and invoice theclient for fees

 AMCo will not have deposit orwithdrawal access to client assets only trading authority
