This material should not be viewed as a current or past recommendation or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any securities or investment products or to adopt any investment strategy. The securities identified and described do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for client accounts. The reader should not assume that any investments in companies, securities, sectors and/or markets identified or described were or will be profitable and no representation is made that any investor will or is likely to achieve results comparable to those shown or will make any profit or will be able to avoid incurring substantial losses. Performance differences for certain investors may occur due to various factors, including timing of investment and eligibility to participate in new issues. Investment return will fluctuate and may be volatile, especially over short time horizons. Each investor’s specific portfolio should be individually managed and may vary from the information shown in terms of portfolio holdings, characteristics and performance. Current and future portfolio compositions may be significantly different from the information shown herein. Investing entails risks, including possible loss of some or all of the investor’s principal. The investment views and market opinions/analyses expressed herein may not reflect those of INKOM Wealth Management, Altruist Global Private Equity and/or its affiliates as a whole and different views may be expressed based on different investment styles, objectives, views or philosophies. To the extent that these materials contain statements about the future, such statements are forward looking and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Projections do not represent future returns. This informational report does not constitute research or an offer to buy or sell a security or an artwork and may not be used or relied upon in connection with any offer or sale of a security or art fund or fund of art funds. Investments in art and other asset classes are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. All investments may exhibit volatility and investors may lose all or substantially all of their investment. Performance figures are net of the underlying funds’ management and incentive fees. A typical asset manager typically controls trading of the investments in a pool of assets and the use of a single advisor’s trading may result in a lack of diversification. The incentive fee may create an incentive for a manager to make investments that are riskier than it would otherwise make. Performance figures may or may not include participation in new issue income. Assets also may generally use leverage and trade on foreign markets, which may carry additional risks. Investments in illiquid assets like art or other illiquid assets and the use of short sales, options, leverage, futures, swaps, and other derivative instruments may create special risks and substantially increase the impact of adverse price movements. Art dealers may charge higher fees than many other types of investments, which can offset trading profits, if any. Interests in art funds may be subject to limitations on transferability. Disclaimer

The use of this index is not meant to be indicative of the asset composition or volatility of the any portfolio of securities and which portfolio may hold considerably fewer than the number of different securities that make up the actual indexes.

. Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) – Risk and Return Harry Markowitz Modern portfolio theory (MPT) is a theory of investment which tries to maximize return and minimize risk by carefully choosing different assets.  A collection of investment assets that has collectively lower risk than any individual asset. For example, when the prices in the stock market fall, the prices in the bond market often increase, and vice versa. A collection of both types of assets can therefore have lower overall risk than either individually.

Australian Superannuation SMSF data show the asset allocation as “other”(include private equity, hedge funds, art, collectibles, etc) 2.3% to 5.39% Art and collectibles are just 0.4% of the actual asset allocation 99% of all super funds in Australia are SMSFs. At 30 June 2010, self-managed superannuation funds held the largest proportion of superannuation assets, accounting for 31.8% of assets of a $1.23 trillion market (Source: APRA, SPAA) Super assets will grow to $3 trillion by 2022 and $9 trillion by 2040. Relative to Stock market caps globally: $1.1trillion for Australia’s ASX right now $2.6 trillion for Euronext $2 trillion for HK and $2 trillion for Shanghai Stock Exchange $1 trillion for Swiss exchange $1 trillion for Bombai exchange $2.5 trillion for London $1.2 trillion for Deutsche Bourse $3.5 trillion for Japan's Topix

Slide 29

Why Invest in Art as an Alternative? Convergence of global capital markets is driving the search for alternative, uncorrelated investment assets and there is increasing interest among serious investors in fine art as an asset class. For a favourable risk-return profile it is suggested that a 10 Year investment portfolio has an 10% asset allocation to fine art. Barclays Capital, Equity Gilt study, 2005 Many wealthy investors ... now see paintings and [other categories of art] as viable vehicles for diversifying their portfolios given the low correlation between art prices and ... stocks, bonds and real estate. 2007 Merrill Lynch CapGemini World Wealth Report Returns on art are not correlated with returns on shares. Owning both art and stocks can reduce the volatility of a portfolio by up to 20% while returning about the same amount. Michael Moses (NYU Stern Professor), Economist.com, 22 February 2005 AXA Art applauds the reliability of the Mei Moses indices and their methodology. The website is a valuable resource to all art collectors and others following the art market. Christiane Fischer, President and CEO, AXA Art Insurance

Art In SMSF Where will the pieces be displayed? The Sole Purpose Test Use of work of art at no cost: breach of section 62. Loan of work of art to a related party: breach of section 62 Loan of work of art to an unrelated party: no breach of section 62 Lease of work of art to member at market value: no breach of s.62. The benefit to the member is the opportunity to use the SMSF assets by paying an arm’s length amount. There is no cost or financial detriment to the fund as a consequence of the use of the work of art by the member. Detailed expert advice should be sought Risk Management, Investment Strategy Audit

Risk return tradeoff The red dotted line on the graph illustrates the best return achievable for given levels of risk for a portfolio of stocks, bonds, cash and gold using data of the last 50 years. The blue solid line shows the result if the Mei Moses® All Art Index was added as one of the possible investment alternatives. The graph clearly demonstrates that adding art with the performance characteristics of the index to this diversified portfolio tends to reduce the risk of the portfolio for most levels of return. Source: Mei Moses Index (www.artasanasset.com). For an expected return of 10.25% the risk of an optimally balanced portfolio is reduced from about 10% without art to about 7% including art. For those return levels where the blue line is to the left of the red line the implication is that adding art to the investment choices reduces the risk of the overall portfolio. For those return levels where the blue line is to the right of the red line the implication is that adding art to the investment choices at any percentage level will increase the risk of the overall portfolio.
