Mutual Funds involve risk including possible loss of principal. An investor should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. This and other information is contained in each Fund’s prospectus. Prior performance is no guarantee of future results and there can be no assurance, and clients should not assume, that future performance of any model portfolio will be comparable to past performance. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. Neither the model nor the index performance results reflect the impact of taxes. Different types of investments and/or investment strategies involve varying levels of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable.

All performance is presented net of the current advisor fee of 2.25%, paid quarterly in arrears. The performance results shown include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. The Canterbury Portfolio Thermostat Model was back-tested for the period between December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2012. During this twelve year period, Canterbury Investment Management (CIM) compiled complete hypothetical trade data on the model portfolio. The performance and risk metrics were calculated by an independent consultant, Orion Advisors. The test simulated the trading of actual listed securities. The transactions generated by the Model were compiled by testers hired by CIM. Hypothetical performance results were obtained by the evaluation of daily changes in the value of the securities held by the model. CIM made a significant change in their investment methodology after 8/31/12. As a result, live performance received by Brookstone clients from their account’s inception, through 8/31/2012, is significantly different from the simulated performance produced by the modified Portfolio Thermostat Model, implemented after 8/31/2012. Prior to 8/31/12 all simulated security sale transactions were executed at the closing price on the day the model issued a sell signal and simulated purchases were made based on the opening price, on the
day following a buy signal. Every effort is being made to produce consistency between reported simulated and actual live performance in Brookstone accounts managed by CIM. All simulated transactions, reflected in hypothetical performance reports, after 8/31/12 were adjusted to match the actual live execution price received by Brookstone clients.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. THE INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE OF SHARES WILL FLUCTUATE AND SHARES, WHEN REDEEMED, MAY BE WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THE AMOUNT INVESTED.
The Newfound Multi-Asset Income Portfolio Model performance data represents hypothetical, back-tested data prior to 11/27/2013 and are not the results of any actually traded account. Such back tested results simulated security sales transactions that were executed at the closing price on the day the model issued a sell signal, and simulated purchases were made based on the opening price, on the day following a buy signal. Hypothetical performance results were obtained by the evaluation of daily changes in the value of the securities held by the model. The data and calculations are not guaranteed as to its accuracy or completeness and no warranties are made with respect to the results. Hypothetical performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are often differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any investment strategy. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk and does not take into account that material and market factors may have impacted the advisor’s decision making. The hypothetical performance assumes full investment, whereas actual accounts and funds managed by an adviser would most likely have a positive cash position. Had the hypothetical Information or model performance included the cash position, the information would have been different and may have been lower.

The results achieved by individual clients will vary and will depend on a number of factors including the particular underlying stock and its dividend yield, option market liquidity, interest rate levels, implied volatilities, and the client’s expressed return and risk parameters at the time the service is initiated and during the term. Investing in options involves risk that must be considered and reviewed with a professional prior to investing. This presentation is not intended for the giving of investment advice to any single investor or group of investors and no investor should rely upon or make any investment decisions based solely upon its contents. All performance is presented net of the current advisor fee for the program, 2.25%, paid quarterly in arrears. Actual client returns would have been reduced by the amount of advisory and custodial fees.
The actual results for the comparable periods would also have varied from the model portfolio results based upon the timing of contributions and withdrawals from individual client accounts. The performance figures contained herein should be viewed in the context of the various risk/ return profiles and asset allocation methodologies utilized by the asset allocation strategists in developing their model portfolios, and should be accompanied or preceded by the model portfolio descriptions for each strategist.

MODERATE MANAGEMENT
Stability and moderate portfolio fluctuations is the goal of a moderate portfolio manager. With a balance of low and higher risk positions, a moderate portfolio is able to accomplish many long-term financial goals.
Glossary
Bear Market: A market in which prices are declining. A "bear" is a person who expects that the market or the price of a particular security will decline.
Call Options: An option which gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a fixed amount of a certain stock at a specified price within a specified time. Calls are purchased by investors who expect a price increase.
Canterbury Volatility Index (CVI): Measures the market’s volatility or emotional state. A CVI reading below 90 reflects a stable or rational market. A CVI above 90 reflects an emotional market. Investors may not make direct investments into an index.
Drawdown: The peak-to-trough decline during a specific record period of an investment, fund or commodity. A drawdown is usually quoted as the percentage between the peak and the trough.
Index-Linked Certificate Of Deposit: A certificate of deposit (CD) with a return based on a specific index. These CDs are purchased for a fixed price and are FDIC insured. Reference to an index does not imply that the strategy will achieve returns, volatility or other results similar to that index. The composition of the index may not reflect the manner in which a strategy is constructed in relation to expected or achieved returns, portfolio guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which are subject to change. Investors may not make direct investments into an index.
Open-End or Mutual Fund Investment Company: This is a company which uses its capital to invest in other companies. Open-end, or mutual funds, sell their own new shares to investors, buy back their old shares, and are not listed for trading on a stock exchange. Open-end funds get their name because their capitalization is not fixed and they normally issue more shares as people want them.
Options: A purchaser of an option has the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell certain securities at a specified price within a specified time.
S&P 500 Index: An index of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry grouping, among other factors. Companies included in the index are selected by the S&P Index Committee, a team of analysts and economists at Standard & Poor's. Reference to an index does not imply that the strategy will achieve returns, volatility or other results similar to that index. The composition of the index may not reflect the manner in which a strategy is constructed in relation to expected or achieved returns, portfolio guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which are subject to change. Investors may not make direct investments into an index.
Time Decay: The ratio of change in an option's price to the decrease in time to expiration of the option which occurs because the probability of that option being profitable is reduced.
