Automotive “Build where you sell” OEM directive will continue to help U.S.

suppliers.” - UHY November 2011

“Several years ago companies thought they could supply the whole world from facilities in China. Now, suppliers are being told by the Big Three automakers and original equipment manufacturers that they have to have operations in the United States if they want to be in the American marketplace.” - October 5, 2012 article Mellisa Anders

HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR 2012 OUTLOOK

16

Automotive “Operational efficiency will become a greater concern with rising

production demand.” - UHY November 2011

Based on U.S. Federal Reserve data, suppliers are running at 78 percent capacity utilization as of August 2012. To meet production demand of approximately 14 million units many suppliers are running overtime, incurring shortages of materials and expedited freight costs.

MANUFACTURING OUTLOOK 2013

ABOUT TAG

34

WHAT WE DO

35

The founders of Tactical Allocations Group, LLC (“TAG”) began their Proactive Investment Management style for fixed income investments in 1988. TAG’s “total return” approach sought to capture the value added from fixed income principal changes. Today, TAG applies their proactive investment management across more than 30 asset classes globally in TAG’s Tactical Portfolios. TAG’s portfolios are built exclusively with asset class specific, exchange-traded products to capture the full impact of their tactical allocation decisions.

TACTICAL ASSET ALLOCATION

36

Price and value often diverge, creating opportunity. Tactical Asset Allocation is a dynamic investment management style that adjusts asset allocations to TAG’s forward view of the relative risks and returns of various asset classes. This is distinguished from Strategic Asset Allocation, a mechanical, passive process of rebalancing the portfolios back to their original allocations; the weakness of this approach is its failure to allow for new information.

A TACTICAL WORLD

37

BUSINESSES OPERATE IN A TACTICAL WORLD • Businesses are ever evolving

• Businesses adjust to benefit from new opportunities

• Portfolios must adjust to benefit from new opportunities
