III. REPORTS
Presentation by Marc Shegoski, UBS
Mr. Shegoski said that instead of bringing in an investment manager to talk to the
Board about MLPs, since he felt it was not the right time to invest in MLPs, that he
would conference call in with Rob Romano of UBS’ equity stock trading desk to give
a macro view of the current state of the market. Mr. Romano gave an update on the
current state of the market, both globally and domestically.
Mr. Shegoski reviewed the market outlook for domestic and global markets. He and
Mr. Sears then reviewed the portfolio and account report. He said with the market
volatility that was recently experienced, he was going to discuss why UBS feels the
current environment is highly volatile with low returns and why UBS expects global
growth to accelerate modestly as monetary policy remains accommodative and
both the dollar and oil prices stabilize. He said the fixed income portfolio was
slightly under because we’re now at a 60/40 ratio. He continued by saying UBS
added to the report the total large cap index, as well as mid and small cap indexes.
Mr. Sears said Bahl & Gaynor tends to be one of the more conservative growth
managers, focused on dividend growth, and is now performing. Argent, however,
he said was now reversing and not performing as well. He said MFS was more of a
traditional manager and O’Shaughnessy was trailing right now but was the best
performer in the portfolio. Mr. Sears said West End was doing fine. He said the two
mid-cap managers, Goldman and Oak Ridge, were underperforming.
Mr. Yoakum made a motion to move funds from iShares and split the funds 50/50
between Kanye Anderson and PNC, Candy Cornman seconded, and the motion
was approved unanimously.
