We manage our portfolios on an active basis, concentrating our investment in the best growth opportunities at the most reasonable valuation levels.

Investment management decisions are made by the Investment Committee, with Roger J. Sit as the Chief Investment Officer having final decision-making responsibilities. The Investment Committee’s investment decisions are implemented using model portfolios with targeted security weightings. The stock selections for specific client accounts are based on the model portfolios and adjusted

for each client’s unique investment restrictions as set forth in the investment management agreement with each client. Specific client restrictions differ from client to client and include, for example, restrictions on investing in certain companies or types of securities.
