Important Disclosure

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance figures are in U.S. Dollars and assume reinvested income for the entire period. Performance figures stated gross of fees do not reflect the deduction of management fees. Performance results of clients would be reduced by the firm’s management fees. For example, an account with a compounded annual total return of 10% would have increased by 159% over ten years. Assuming an annual management fee of .30%, this increase would be 152%. The firm’s management fees are detailed in its Form ADV Part 2.  All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal.

On November 30, 2010, Scout Investment Advisors, Inc. acquired the advisory business of Reams Asset Management Company, LLC. The performance provided prior to this date is based upon the Unconstrained Fixed Income Composite managed by Reams Asset Management Company, LLC. The portfolio managers and the investment objectives remain the same.

On December 28, 2010, the firm changed its name from Scout Investment Advisors to Scout Investments. Reams Asset Management is a division of Scout Investments, Inc. a registered investment advisor that offers investment management services for both managed accounts and mutual funds.

The Unconstrained Fixed Income Composite invests in all sectors of the fixed income markets, including investment grade securities, high yield securities and foreign securities. The composite can maintain a portfolio duration of any length. The Unconstrained Fixed Income Composite may invest in derivatives, including credit default swaps and related instruments, such as credit default swap index products. These derivative securities may be used to enhance returns, increase liquidity and/or gain exposure to certain instruments in the market (such as the corporate bond market) in a more efficient or less expensive way. The composite may also invest in interest rate derivatives to manage duration and yield curve exposure and in currency forwards to hedge currency exposure when Reams chooses to establish positions in non-U.S Dollar bonds. Derivatives used are strictly constrained by client investment policy. The BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index represents the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) with a constant 3-month average maturity.  Published by the British Bankers’ Association, LIBOR is a composite of the rates of interest at which banks borrow from one another in the London market.
