For Broker Dealer Use Only Disclaimer The Power Dividend Total Return Index (Ticker: PWRDXTR) is a Service Mark of W. E. Donoghue & Co., Inc. The Power Dividend Index Portfolio is based on the Power Dividend Total Return Index (PWRDXTR) with an inception date of 12/31/1999; one cannot invest directly in an index. The Index is a rules based index, which the Power Dividend Index Portfolio follows; reflects the theoretical performance an investor would have obtained had it invested in the manner shown and does not represent returns actually obtained and does not represent returns an investor actually attained, as investors cannot invest directly in and index. The Power Dividend Index Portfolio returns represented in this material do not reflect the actual trading of any client account. No representation is being made that any client will or is likely to achieve results similar to those presented herein. The Power Dividend Index Portfolio performance is net of a two percent (2.00%) annual fee deducted from the account balance quarterly. The annual fee is derived from the average daily balance of the previous quarter. The Portfolio performance includes the reinvestments of all dividends and distributions. Additional fees will apply for transactions and trading which will be determined by the Custodian of the account and will decrease the return experienced by a client. Individual client account results will vary from the Power Dividend Index Portfolio and the Power Dividend Index (PWRDXTR) returns. Past performance is no guarantee of future results or returns. Therefore, no current or prospective client should assume that future performance will be profitable. The Power Dividend Index Portfolio inception date is 11/30/2012. The inclusion of the S&P 500 (S&P) Index results are for comparison purposes only. The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization weighted index of 500 widely held stocks often used as a proxy for the stock market. Standard and Poor’s chooses the member companies based upon market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. Included are stocks of industrial, financial, utility, and transportation companies. The historical performance results of the S&P 500 Index (and all other indexes) are unmanaged; do not reflect the deduction of transaction and custodial charges, or the deduction of a management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing indicated historical performance results and cannot be invested in directly. Economic factors, market conditions and investment strategies will affect the performance of any portfolio, and therefore are not assurances that it will match or outperform any particular benchmark. Drawdown calculations are based upon month end values beginning 12/31/1999. Drawdown is the percentage loss from the highest month end value to the lowest month end value in the drawdown period. Recapture is the number of months required to return to, or exceed, the account value at the beginning of the drawdown period, including the months of the decline.
