Notes:
1.
Cooke & Bieler, L.P. has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the Global
Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). The Firm is defined as Cooke & Bieler, L.P.,
an independent investment management firm and is registered as an investment adviser
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
2.
The Cooke & Bieler All Cap Value Equity Composite (Composite), whose inception date is
May 1, 2001, includes all fully discretionary, fee paying and non-fee paying all cap value
equity portfolios managed for more than one month with a minimum market value of $2500.
For investment purposes, all cap investing is generally defined as investing in securities of
companies whose market capitalization range from $500 million and above. The Composite
was created in May 2001.
3.
Rates of return are expressed in U.S. dollars. Portfolios are valued monthly on a trade date
basis. Portfolio returns reflect the reinvestment of dividend and interest income and are
calculated using the Modified Dietz method. Composite returns are calculated monthly by
weighting portfolio returns according to the size of each portfolio at the beginning of the
month.
4.
Performance returns are presented both gross and net of fees. Gross of fee returns do not
reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees. Individual client returns will be reduced
by investment advisory fees and other expenses that it may incur in the management of its
investment advisory account. The investment advisory fees are described in Part II of Form
ADV. The standard fee agreement is 0.75 of 1% per annum on the first $10 million of
principal, 0.65 of 1% per annum on the next $10 million of principal, 0.55 of 1% per annum
on the balance, however fees are negotiable. As an example, the "cost" of the investment
advisory fee of a $10 million portfolio is .75% on an annualized basis. In a ten-year period,
the effect of the investment advisory fee will reduce a 5% annual return by as much as
11.8% on a cumulative basis. On an exception basis, the actual fee charged may depend on
the asset size, client location and type of portfolio. Effective April 1, 2004, Model net of fee
Composite returns are calculated quarterly by deducting one quarter of the maximum fee
rate of 0.75% from the gross of fee Composite return. Prior to April 1, 2004, the model net of
fee Composite returns were calculated quarterly by deducting one quarter of the maximum
fee rate of 0.65% from the gross of fee Composite return.
5.
The dispersion is measured using an asset weighted standard deviation of portfolio returns
represented within the Composite for the full year. For those annual periods with less than
five portfolios included for the entire period, dispersion is not presented as it is not
considered meaningful.
6.
The Composite includes one non-fee paying portfolio which represented 100% of the
Composite as of December 31, 2001 and 1.4% of the Composite at December 31, 2009.
