Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investments in the securities markets are subject to market and financial risk, which may include loss of value.

The MKG Firmwide Composite includes fully discretionary taxable and tax-exempt individual, corporate and retirement accounts of all sizes, that are growth and income-oriented, including those accounts no longer with the firm and those that were managed at another firm. These accounts include both equity and fixed income securities. A small number of accounts were excluded for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, portfolios with less than one month of performance history, accounts opened for the express purpose of selling securities, and accounts existing solely for the deposit and withdrawal of cash (i.e. no active management). The investment objective of the Firmwide Composite is appreciation of value over a 3 to 5 year period.

The MKG Firmwide Composite performance results include the reinvestment of all dividends and earnings and are shown net of all fees associated with the management of an account, including any transaction and commission based fees. The majority of the accounts in the Composite pay commission based fees. Some accounts pay an investment management fee and a $.05 per share commission. The standard annual management fees charged against all assets in an account range from .85% to 2.5% depending on the size of the account (See ADV Part IIA Item 5 for a complete discussion of MKG’s fees and compensation which may be negotiable).

Benchmarks

The MKG Firmwide Composite is compared to The NASDAQ Composite and the S&P 500 Total Return indices because they provide recognized, broad measures of market performance.

The NASDAQ Composite Index reflects the performance of stocks listed on the NASDAQ stock market and is considered an indicator of the performance of technology and growth companies. The index returns do not reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings.
The S&P 500 Total Return Index is widely regarded as the best single gauge of the large cap equities market and includes 500 of the leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy; it focuses on the large cap segment and is also an ideal proxy for the total market. The Index includes the return associated with dividends paid by companies in the Index.

The indices are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index. As a result, they do not reflect the deductions of transaction costs, custodial charges, investment management fees, nor the impact of taxes, which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results. The performance of the indices will vary from the Firmwide Composite during specific time periods because the Composite has significantly less securities than the indices (i.e., typically less than 20) and contains small-to mid-cap stocks.

Performance results prior to January 1, 2001 pertain to portfolios managed by Mark K. Gaskill, the current portfolio manager, while at a prior firm and are linked to the Firmwide Composite Results. Mr. Gaskill was the individual responsible for investment decisions of the linked accounts at his prior firm and is responsible for management of the accounts in the Firmwide Composite. Accounts managed at the prior firm are similar to the accounts managed at the current firm in that they include discretionary and non discretionary accounts, retirement and retail accounts, growth, income and balanced accounts, and any combination of the above.
