Cooke & Bieler has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®).
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 Large Cap Value Equity Composite (Composite) includes all fully
discretionary, fee paying, employee benefit tax-exempt equity portfolios over $1 million managed for more than one quarter. For investment purposes, our style is most closely related to the large cap equity investor. We generally purchase securities whose market capitalization at time of purchase is at least $2 billion. Prior to 9/30/05, the market capitalization was normally greater than $1 billion. The Composite was created in January 1997. Until January 2002, the Composite was previously named the Employee Benefit Tax-Exempt Equity Composite.
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. Beginning January 1, 1997, composite returns are
calculated monthly by weighting portfolio returns according to the size of each portfolio at the
beginning of the month. Previously, composite returns were calculated quarterly by weighting
quarterly portfolio returns according to the size of each portfolio at the beginning of the quarter.
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. Investment advisory fees are described in Part II of Form ADV.
The standard fee agreement is 0.65 of 1% per annum on the first $20 million of principal, 0.60 of 1% per annum on the next $20 million of principal, 0.50 of 1% per annum on the next $60 million of principal, and 0.40 of 1% per annum on the balance, however fees are negotiable. As an example, the "cost" of the investment advisory fee of a $20 million portfolio is .65% 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 10.3% on a cumulative basis. The actual fee charged may depend on the asset size and type of portfolio. Prior to 1/1/2007, model net of fee Composite returns were used. Net of fee returns were calculated quarterly by deducting one quarter of the maximum fee rate of 0.65% from the gross of fee Composite return. As of 1/1/2007, net of fee returns reflect the deduction of actual management fees, and are calculated in the same manner as gross of fee returns.
5.
The dispersion is measured using an asset weighted standard deviation of portfolio returns
represented within the Composite for the full year.
