11 Building out our “core” Cambridge Growth Companies Corporate Class

12 Defining the opportunity Sweet spot of $1B to $10B market cap Fantastic management access Undercovered/underfollowed Supernormal growth potential Looking for secular, not cyclical growth Resources are cyclical ~50% of businesses that fit this criteria on S&P/TSX are mining/energy Only 10% for Russell 2000, S&P 500, FTSE 100, FTSE Small cap Highly concentrated fund Ideal size of 35 businesses Canada capped at 10% (2-5 stocks) 10% cash is no cash – expect cash position to be 10% - 25%

13 What are we looking for? Very high ROIC / operating margins Low balance sheet leverage Demonstrated willingness/ability to inorganically allocate capital

14 You can profit in this market If you have conviction in what you own We talk to management often Site tours and conferences If you have flexibility Never get married to a thesis or position Open mandates  no sector restrictions By protecting capital Proper diversification No “filler” positions – we hold cash
