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 Mid Cap Value Equity Composite (Composite), whose inception date is
March 1, 1998, includes all fully discretionary, fee paying, mid cap equity portfolios over $2,500 managed for more than one month. For investment purposes, mid-cap equity investing is generally defined as investing in securities of companies whose market capitalization are within a range of $500 million to $10 billion or within the Russell Midcap Value Index at the time of purchase. Prior to 3/1/07, the market capitalization was within a range of $500 million to $5 billion or within the Russell Midcap Value Index at the time of purchase. The Composite was created in March 1998.
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 fees do not reflect the
deduction of our 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 .85 of 1% per annum on the first $10 million of principal, .75 of 1% on the next $10 million and .65 of 1% on increments above $20 million, however fees are
negotiable. As an example, the "cost" of the investment advisory fee of a $10 million portfolio is .85% 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 13.3% on a cumulative basis. The actual fee charged may depend on the asset size and type of portfolio. 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 the 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 year, dispersion is not presented as it is not considered to be meaningful.
