formed on February 22, 2013, with its principal place of business in Boston, MA. Kevin Shea is the
founder, managing member and sole owner of Disciplined Alpha.

Long-Short Equity ETF (NYSE ticker “LSEQ”), herein referred to as “LSEQ”. (collectively, the “Clients”).
Currently the Firm manages two strategies.
A Regime Based U.S. Long Short Diversified Strategy. The objective is to utilize Disciplined Alpha’s
macroeconomic regime model to maximize the risk adjusted return, as defined by the Sortino Ratio,
by investing
in a broad universe of stocks in the U.S. Russell 1000. During periods of time that are
shorter than a full market cycle, the strategy seeks to outperform 60% of the return of the Russell
1000. The HFRX Equity Hedge Peer Group, or the HFRX Equal Weighted Strategies Peer Group, could
also be used for performance analysis.
A Regime Based Multi-Asset Class Strategy. The object is to utilize Disciplined Alpha’s macroeconomic
regime model to maximize the risk adjusted return, as defined by the Sortino Ratio, by investing in
various asset classes primarily through ETFs.
At the current time, Disciplined Alpha does not expect to tailor its investment advisory services to the
individual needs of Clients.
Disciplined Alpha does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
