Types of Alternative Investments
Alternative Investment vehicles have challenges:
 Private Equity: Lock up periods of 5 yrs, capital calls are
uncertain, lack of liquidity, and correlations to public
equity. High $25 mm minimums.
 Real Estate: High maintenance cost, and requires local real
estate expertise.
 Hedge Funds: Lack of transparency and requires extensive
due diligence. Most funds have experienced correlations
with stocks and bonds.
There is no guarantee any investment product will achieve its objectives, generate profits or avoid losses. Past performance is not
indicative of future results.

Economic Cycle Research Institute
 This proprietary system of quantitative analysis
distinguishes ECRI from other forecasters. As The
Economist noted, “ECRI is perhaps the only organization to
give advance warning of each of the past three recessions;
just as impressive, it has never issued a false alarm.”
 Over three generations of continuous research covering
dozens of economies and hundreds of leading indicators.
 ECRI researchers have uncovered reliable sequences of
events that occur around turning points in economic
growth, inflation and employment.

This presentation is confidential and may not be disseminated or reproduced without LCA’s consent. This presentation is
intended for informational purposes only and is not intended to constitute investment advice or recommendations by LCA
or any other party. Lindner Capital Advisors, Inc. (“LCA”) is an SEC registered investment adviser. Past performance of
LCA’s Portfolio Composites (the “Composites”) is no guarantee of future performance, and LCA’s strategies, like most
investment strategies, involve the risk of loss. No chart, graph, or other figure provided should be used to determine which
securities to buy or sell. Asset allocation and diversification strategies do not assure a profit or protect against a loss.
The performance data shown represents the performance of the various Composites, each of which is based on the
performance of client accounts managed in the identified strategy, subject to the qualifications set forth in the following
paragraphs. LCA creates the Composites as of each month-end by calculating the performance returns for fully
discretionary client accounts over $50,000, temporarily excluding client accounts whose inclusion LCA believes is not
appropriate for one of the following reasons: (1) accounts with a significant cash flow of 30% or more in one month; (2) all
outlier accounts, which are those accounts with a performance return that exceeds a z-score of 3.0; and (3) accounts that
have changed management strategies at the request of the client or external relationship manager. Excluded accounts are
removed as of the beginning of the month and re-enter their previous or enter a new Composite (as applicable) the first full
month after the occurrence of the applicable exclusion reason.
Composite returns including periods prior to June 2008 may include return information from client accounts that were not
managed in the identified strategy for the entirety of the periods. LCA implemented the portfolio accounting system used to
create the Composites in June 2008. LCA applied the system’s methodologies to its existing historical data. Such data did
not support adjusting the accounts that appeared in each Composite based on historical changes in such accounts’
management strategies. LCA believes the effect of the inclusion of such accounts in the Composites is immaterial, however,
based on its policy of excluding outlier accounts as described above and its belief that the number of accounts that changed
management strategies over the period was minimal. Please contact LCA if there are questions concerning Composite
returns.
The z-score is defined as how far a performance return deviates from the average performance return of all account in the
composite list. A z-score of 3.0 indicates three standard deviations that an account’s performance return is above or below
the mean. Previously, LCA published hypothetical model returns for its strategies. LCA now presents the Composites, each
of which is based on actual performance of client accounts. As a result, the returns presented are slightly different than
those previously published.

Returns are presented net of advisory fees and account transaction expenses and include the reinvestment
of dividends and other earnings. LCA management fees have ranged from 0.40% - 2.10% during the
periods presented. Management fees incurred by clients may vary. LCA’s current fee schedule is described
in its Form ADV Part II, which is available upon request. Each strategy’s underlying investments include
commingled investment vehicles such as mutual funds that pay other fees and expenses in addition to LCA’s
advisory fees.
Inclusion of market index information is for informational purposes only and does not imply that a strategy
will achieve similar returns. Index performance does not reflect the deduction of transaction costs,
management fees, or other costs which would reduce returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an
index. The composition of an index does not reflect the manner in which a strategy is constructed in
relation to expected or achieved returns, investment guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations,
concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which may change over time.
The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be a representative sample
of leading companies in leading industries within the U.S. economy and is widely used as indicative of the
performance of the U.S. stock market. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged
index that covers the U.S. dollar denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market securities,
The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage backed securities
(MBS), asset backed securities (ABS), and commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) sectors. The
Blended Benchmark Indices were created by LCA to reflect the performance of a benchmark comprised of
the stated percentages of the S&P 500 and Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
Actual client performance in the strategies and the periods depicted may be materially different and
possibly lower than the performance data presented, due to various factors including: different rebalancing
frequency and implementation, investment cash flows, cash balances, different management fees, varying
custodian fees and transaction costs, different timing of fee deduction and other factors. Clients must refer
to their individualized performance evaluation for information concerning their actual account’s
performance.
Performance Disclosure


Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any
specific investment strategy will be profitable. Each asset class has inherent risks associated with that asset
class. Understanding these risks is critical to making reasonable risk/return comparisons and sound
investment decisions. Each of LCA’s strategies may make small and micro-cap investments, which are
subject to greater volatility than those in other asset categories. Each of LCA’s strategies may invest in
sector funds, which may involve a greater degree of risk than an investment in other funds with greater
diversification.
Each of LCA’s strategies may invest in fixed-income investments, which are subject to various risks,
including changes in interest rates, credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, corporate
events, tax ramifications, and other factors. Each of LCA’s strategies may make international investments,
which are subject to additional risks, such as currency fluctuation, confiscatory policy, political instability,
or potential illiquidity. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks. Since no one manager is
suitable for all types of investors, it is important to review investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity
needs, tax consequences and any other considerations with a financial professional before choosing an
investment style or manager
LCA Composite Disclosure

Composite performance results are based on a composite of LCA’s managed accounts that fall within the
specified stock-to-bond ratios in each of the identified products. Performance results may or may not
depict the actual investment experience of any single client due to the timing of investment contributions,
withdrawals, trade implementations and client or adviser directed investments. The annual composite
dispersion is an equal-weighted standard deviation calculated for the accounts in the composite over the
entire year. Composite performance results exclude (i) accounts under management which do not maintain
a balance during the entire composite period, and (ii) certain accounts under management that have
temporarily been removed from discretion through client initiated actions.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Performance Disclosure

Lindner Capital Advisors, Inc. (LCA) Disclosure for Back tested Performance Information

Back tested performance is hypothetical (it does not reflect trading in actual accounts) and is provided for informational purposes to
indicate historical performance had the model portfolios been available over the relevant period.
Back tested performance does not represent actual performance and should not be interpreted as an indication of such performance.
Actual performance for client accounts may be materially lower than that of the model portfolios. Performance information of
benchmark indices are included for comparison purposes only, however, it should be recognized that the volatility of the benchmarks is
materially different from the volatility of the back tested portfolios.
Back tested performance results have certain inherent limitations. Such results do not represent the impact that material economic and
market factors might have on an investment adviser’s decision-making process if the adviser were actually managing client money.
Back tested performance also differs from actual performance because it is achieved through the retroactive application of model
portfolios designed with the benefit of hindsight. As a result, the models theoretically may be changed from time to time to obtain more
favorable performance results. Additionally, the models may include some types of securities that the adviser no longer recommends
for its clients.
Back tested performance results assume the reinvestment of dividends, ordinary and capital gains and quarterly rebalancing. The
performance of the strategy reflects and is net of the effect of LCA's annual investment management fee of 1.5%. Clients who open
accounts for less than 200k will be charged a one time $200 set up fee, the proceeds of which accrue solely to Lindner Capital. Actual
LCA advisory fees are deducted quarterly in increments of 0.375%. Depending on the size of your assets under management, your
investment management fee may be more or less. Back tested risk and return data are a combination of live (or actual) mutual fund
results and simulated index data, and mutual fund fees and expenses have been deducted from both the live (or actual) results and the
simulated index data.
Performance results do not reflect transaction fees charged by custodians and other expenses charged by broker-dealers, which reduce
returns.
Not all of LCA’s clients follow our recommendations and depending on unique and changing client and market situations we may
customize the construction and implementation of the portfolios for particular clients, including the use of tax-managed mutual funds,
tax-harvesting techniques and rebalancing frequency and precision. In taxable accounts, LCA uses tax-managed index or asset class
funds (where available and/or appropriate) to manage client assets. However, the tax-managed index funds are not used in calculating
the back tested performance of the model portfolios, unless specified in the table or chart. Some client’s substitute the mutual funds
recommended by LCA with other investment options available through the custodian, thereby creating a custom asset allocation. The
performance of custom asset allocations may differ materially from (and may be higher or lower than) that of the model portfolios.
As with any investment strategy, there is potential for profit as well as the possibility of loss. LCA does not guarantee any minimum level
of investment performance or the success of any model portfolio or investment strategy. All investments involve risk (the amount of
which may vary significantly) and investment recommendations will not always be profitable. The investment return and principal

Disclosure Alternative Investments
Alternative investment products, including hedge funds and managed futures, involve a high degree of
risk, often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of
investment loss, can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation
information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax
information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees
which may offset any trading profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent
and are known only to the investment manager. Alternative investment performance can be volatile. An
investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Often, alternative investment
fund and account managers have total trading authority over their funds or accounts; the use of a single
advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean lack of diversification and,
consequently, higher risk. There is often no secondary market for an investor's interest in alternative
investments, and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in any
alternative investment. Alternative investment products often execute a substantial portion of their
trades on non-U.S. exchanges. Investing in foreign markets may entail risks that differ from those
associated with investments in U.S. markets. Additionally, alternative investments often entail
commodity trading, which involves substantial risk of loss. PAST RESULTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY
INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
Disclosure Risk
You should carefully consider whether your financial condition permits you to participate in a
commodity pool. In so doing, you should be aware that futures and options trading can quickly lead to
large losses as well as gains. Such trading losses can sharply reduce the net asset value of the pool and
consequently the value of your interest in the pool. In addition, restrictions on redemptions may affect
your ability to withdraw your participation in the pool. Further, commodity pools may be subject to
substantial charges for management, and advisory and brokerage fees. It may be necessary for those
pools that are subject to these charges to make substantial trading profits to avoid depletion or
exhaustion of their assets. The disclosure document contains a complete description of each expense
to be charged this pool and a statement of the percentage return necessary to break even, that is, to
recover the amount of your initial investment. You should carefully study those sections of the
disclosure document prior to making an investment decision.
This brief statement cannot disclose all the risks and other factors necessary to evaluate your
participation in this commodity pool. Therefore, before you decide to participate in this commodity
pool, you should carefully study this disclosure document, including a description of the principal risk
factors of this investment.
You should also be aware that this commodity pool may trade foreign futures or options contracts.
Transactions on markets located outside the united states, including markets formally linked to a
united states market, may be subject to regulations which offer different or diminished protection to
the pool and its participants. Further, united states regulatory authorities may be unable to compel
the enforcement of the rules of regulatory authorities or markets in non-united states jurisdictions
where transactions for the pool may be effected.
