11. Strategy Review

12. What Is Sector Rotation? Sector Rotation - A portfolio manager's attempt to profit through timing a particular economic cycle. Constantly trying to identify where we are in the economic cycle and invest upon that. The best way to identify where we are is by looking at was is currently outperforming and underperforming.

13. How to make it our own? Moving to sectors that are working. Allocations will be based on those observations. Time frames of 6 months to 3 years. Looking for steady trends higher. Best picks are usually leaders in their sectors. Solid moving fundamentals, growth oriented, less emphasis on P/E ratios. Strict selling rules. Specific strategy for each sector will be determined on an individual basis.

14. Strategy Changes Not a pure sector rotation strategy – We will still determine what sectors are “working” when deciding on allocations Decide strategies for each sector individually – Fundamental, value, growth – Which industries to shy away from, which to get into – IDG Vote for individual sector strategy with input from SA IDG will release guidelines within the first week of each month reiterating or changing the individual sector strategies Still maintaining the minimum equity allocation % for each sector for diversification purposes

15. When To Buy Look for outperforming sectors relative to overall market Look at the stocks in sector that are outperforming based on recommended strategy Fantastic balance sheet Increasing Earnings Strong leadership & growth goals

16. Selling Rules 10% BTD loss: SA is notified to keep stock on watch 15% BTD loss: Requires immediate stock reevaluation – Stock evaluation would be short and be presented ASAP (sent over email if needed) – No lengthy pages of numbers, just a short presentation covering performance of stock versus the sector and market. Only want to see numbers if earnings were recently released or any other major fundamental news Want a simple ‘Hold’ or ‘Sell’ from the SA

17. When To Sell Overview – If a SA recommends to sell a stock after a re-evaluation, then IDG will have a vote as normal. – If a SA recommends to hold a stock, a motion will be held to see if IDG wants to vote for a sell. Taking Gains – Every time a stocks has gained 15% to 20% in profits, it will be lowered back to allocation.

18. IDG/SA Overseer Each IDG member will be assigned to a pair of SA’s. They will be actively involved in assisting the SA in making presentations, starting discussions, etc. SA’s will have a small team of analysts, but general members may be contacted for additional help. SA’s will work with Tony to provide updates of events and performance in their sectors (kind of like an aggregation of the weekly news). SA’s must send all presentations/re-evals/sector updates to Peter for the website.

19. Overall Allocations Equity Allocations – Discuss what the markets have been doing. – Analyze what sectors of the markets ARE working and AREN’T working (Tony and SA’s). Looking for trends and recent events. Must be at least a 3% allocation in every sector. No upper limit to the allocation of a specific sector. Allocations
