Important Disclosure Notice:

Past performance does not guarantee future results.  Figures include the reinvestment of all dividends received and reflect cash and cash equivalents; however, NASDAQ returns are without dividends.  The volatility of the Flexible Portfolios may differ from that of the benchmark.  From time to time, portfolio performance may reflect the use of margin investing as well as material investments in bonds or cash.  The manager will utilize stocks, bonds and cash in an attempt to enhance returns.  The Flexible Portfolios average represents 25 individual portfolios and 32% of all funds under management by MCA on 9/30/09.  Clients explicitly elect this management style on their personal data form.  The Flexible Portfolios are tactical asset allocation investment accounts containing stocks and bonds that are managed with a view toward capital appreciation.
