"The fiduciary acts at all times for the sole benefit and interests of another, with loyalty to those interests. A fiduciary must not put personal interests before that duty, and must not be in a situation where his fiduciary duty to clients conflicts with a fiduciary duty to any other entity."
- John Bogle, founder and former CEO of Vanguard

About Truepoint Inc.Who We Are
4
We believe in challenging the industry’s traditional model of wealth management
True advisory firms are in the minority– Independent, unbiased advice necessitates a fee-only compensation
model– A client-first focus is most effectively achieved in a privately owned
firm that is fully controlled by the same professionals who actively deliver advice to clients
It is the integration of expertise in multiple financial specializations that produces the most value- A narrow focus only on the investment portfolio sacrifices the
significant opportunity to add value through integrated financial management
- The seamless coordination of expertise across areas such as investment management, tax management, wealth planning and estate & trust services is most powerful
The investment industry often exploits human emotion and lack of consumer awareness- The industry is designed to give advice based on the belief that the
very markets they trade in do not work - The overarching flaw is the concept that someone can predict the
future—all traditional Wall Street-investment advice involves forecasting some future event

Investment strategy should be rooted not in speculation, but rather in the science of the capital markets
Decades of academic research and empirical data provide clear guidance for most effectively capturing financial market returns
We focus on factors within the investor’s control
We focus on what works, versus what sells
We don’t speculate. We invest.
Our Investment PhilosophyBetter Investing Through Science

Conventional wisdom suggests that smart people, working diligently, can select stocks which are mispriced by the market. These informed investors are also assumed to be able to time the market.
A study of the returns of 3,156 U.S. stock mutual funds from 1984 to 2006 generated these findings:
− Most funds achieving some of level of market outperformance did so simply by chance
− Only zero to 3% of active managers exhibit the skill sufficient to outperform
− Even if “skilled” managers exist, they are indistinguishable on a forward-looking basis
Given the cost of active management, approximately three-quarters of investment managers have, and will continue over the long-term, to underperform the overall market.
The Myth of Active ManagementFooled by Randomness
“Most investors, both institutional and individual, will find that the best way to own common stocks is through an index fund that charges minimal fees. Those following this path are sure to beat the net results (after fees and expenses) delivered by the great majority of investment professionals.”
Warren Buffett Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway

In the face of overwhelming evidence, why do investors keep playing a game they are likely to lose?
It is consistently encouraged by those who stand to profit the most—Wall Street and the financial media
Investors are overconfident—a natural human condition not limited to investing
Active management is the triumph of hope over experience—but hope does spring eternal
Active investing is more exciting, and provides better cocktail chatter, than passive investing
The Myth of Active ManagementPlaying a Loser’s Game
“What’s really quite remarkable in the investment world is that people are playing a game which, in some sense, cannot be played. There are so many people out there in the market; the idea that any single individual without extra information or extra market power can beat the market is extraordinarily unlikely.
“Yet the market is full of people who think they can do it and full of other people who believe them. This is one of the great mysteries of finance: Why do people believe they can do the impossible? And why do other people believe them?”
Daniel Kahneman 2002 Nobel Laureate (Economics)

Markets Work– Prices reflect all available information and the aggregate opinion of market
participants– Prices move only in response to new information, which may be better or worse
than expected
Diversification is Essential– Diversification reduces uncertainty– Concentrated investments add risk, with no additional expected return
Risk and Return are Related– Exposure to meaningful risk factors determines expected return– Asset allocation along size, value and market dimensions primarily determines the
returns of a broadly diversified portfolio
Control What You Can– Maintain discipline and have a long-term view of investing– Consider expenses and tax-efficiency of investment vehicles

The Behavior GapDiscipline is Critical to Success
Total returns are annualized and represent the 20-year period ending 12/31/10. Average Investor return is based on an analysis by Dalbar Inc., which utilizes the net of aggregate mutual fund sales, redemptions and exchanges each month as a measure of
investor behavior.
Investors often impair their returns through emotional reactions (fear or greed) to market performance
A 2009 study concluded that aggressive trading by individuals reduces returns by about 4% per year“The investor’s chief problem—and even his worst enemy—is
likely to be himself.”Benjamin Graham

Emotion over LogicBuying High and Selling Low
On average, investors repeatedly invest in stocks at high points, and sell at low points
“If you can plug your ears to every attempt (by anyone) to predict what the markets will do, you will outperform nearly every other investor alive over the long run. Only the mantra of ‘don’t know and, I don’t care’ will get you there.”
Jason Zweig Personal finance columnist, Wall Street Journal
