* For composite presentation, the net fee is being calculated using the maximum bundled fee of each participating sponsor with whom OSAM has wrap accounts, in some instances as high as 3% annually. Actual fees may vary account by account. Blended gross returns are a combination of true gross and pure gross and are presented as supplemental information. Basis of Presentation: OShaughnessy Asset Management, LLC (OSAM), founded in 2007, is a Stamford, CT based quantitative money management firm and an SEC Registered Investment Advisor. We deliver a broad range of equity strategies, from micro cap to large cap, and growth to value. Our clients are individual investors, institutional investors, and the high-net-worth clients of financial advisors. James OShaughnessy and his team left Bear Stearns to form OSAM in July 2007. All the GIPS rules of portability were met. Jim maintained continuous management of all accounts during the transition from BSAM to OSAM, which was completed in March 2008. OSAM claims compliance p with the Global Investment Performance Standards ( (GIPS) ) and has p prepared p and p presented this report p in compliance p with the GIPS standards. OSAM has been independently p y verified for the p periods of 2007-2010. The verification reports are available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation. A complete list and description of OSAMs composites is available upon request. The O'Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value strategy (the Composite) generally seeks to provide long-term growth and some current income by investing in market-leading companies with attractive valuations. First, we screen for stocks with greater than average market capitalizations and exclude Utilities. We then screen for securities with Value, Earnings Quality, Earnings Growth, and Financial Strength Composite scores greater than average. The strategy then selects stocks with the highest shareholder yieldwhich combines a company's annual dividend and its annual rate of stock buybacks. This strategy is periodically rebalanced. Selection Criteria and Valuation Procedures: The Composite p was created in August g 2008 to include both wrap p fee and non wrap p fee accounts, , and represents p the p performance of every y fee p paying y g account managed g in the Market Leaders Value strategy, gy, regardless g of asset size. The investment advisory fee charged for the management of accounts in the strategy varies. Institutional separate accounts are charged an annual investment advisory fee of 0.55% on the first $25 million, 0.45% on the next $75 million, and 0.35% on assets over $100 million. Wrap clients are charged the wrap fee set by the sponsor, and fees can vary by sponsor platform. Wrap fees include charges for trading costs, portfolio management, custody, and other administrative fees. For composite performance presentation purposes, returns are net at 3% annually, which reflects the highest applicable wrap fee charged by any sponsor across our distribution channel. Additionally, gross-of-fees returns for wrap fee accounts are pure gross returns. "Pure" gross-of-fees returns do not reflect the deduction of any expenses, including transaction costs. "Pure" gross-of-fees returns are supplemental to net returns. A traditional (or "true") gross-of-fees return reflects performance after the reduction of transaction costs but before the reduction of the investment advisory fee. Since wrap fee accounts experience bundled pricing, it is often impossible to unbundle the transaction portion to calculate a gross-of-fees return and hence "pure" gross-offees returns are made available. The gross-of-fee return presented for this composite is a blend of "true" gross-of-fees returns for non wrap clients (where the actual fee paid is identifiable) and "pure" gross-of-fees returns for wrap clients (for the reasons stated above). The internal dispersion of annual returns is measured by the equal weighted standard deviation of portfolio returns represented within the Composite for the full year. Data related to assets under management is presented from December 31, 2007 forward consistent with the inception of our firm, forward, firm and N/A is shown for prior periods. periods All investments are in U.S. U S equities and all returns are stated in U.S. U S Dollars. Dollars Additional information regarding policies for calculating and reporting returns is available upon request Composite Benchmark(s): The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

Although OSAM may consider from time to time one or more of the factors noted herein in managing any account, account it may not consider all or any of such factors. factors OSAM may (and will) from time to time consider factors in addition to those noted herein in managing any account. OSAM may rebalance an account more frequently or less frequently than annually and at times other than presented herein. OSAM may from time to time manage an account by using non-quantitative, subjective investment management methodologies in conjunction with the application of factors. The hypothetical backtested performance results assume full investment, whereas an account managed by OSAM may have a positive cash position upon rebalance. Had the hypothetical backtested performance results included a positive cash position, the results would have been different and generally would have been lower. The hypothetical backtested performance results for each factor do not reflect any transaction costs of buying and selling securities, securities investment management fees (including without limitation management fees and performance fees), fees) custody and other costs, or taxes all of which would be incurred by an investor in any account managed by OSAM. If such costs and fees were reflected, the hypothetical backtested performance results would be lower. The hypothetical performance does not reflect the reinvestment of dividends and distributions therefrom, interest, capital gains and withholding taxes. Accounts managed by OSAM are subject to additions and redemptions of assets under management, which may positively or negatively affect performance depending generally upon the timing of such events in relation to the markets direction. Simulated returns may be dependent on the market and economic conditions that existed during the period. Future market or economic conditions can adversely affect the returns.
