PCM Global Macro 3M Total ReturnSM

The objective of PCM's Global Macro 3M Total Return's IndexSM  is to achieve positive total return regardless of market direction through broad exposure to a multi-asset basket of ETFs of preferred equities, U.S. and international equities, broad commodities, precious metals, and global bonds across the yield curve. By using inverse ETFs, PCM’s Risk Management Overlay may allow the capture of positive returns in periods of falling markets. The index may hold long and inverse (short) positions simultaneously in various or similar asset classes. The index may rotate bi-monthly.

Provident Capital Management Inc. Absolute IndexesSM Disclosure:

PCM Absolute Indexes represent model and hypothetical performance prior to April 2011 and actual model performance going forward to current date.

One cannot invest directly in this index. One can only invest in accounts that attempt to track the holdings and results of the index. There is no guarantee that any client will achieve performance similar to, or better than, an index mentioned herein.

Provident Capital Management, Inc. owns and actively manages quantitative indexes that have an absolute, total-return approach. The indexes are rebalance bi-weekly, monthly or quarterly depending on the index. Periodic adjustments to structure or strategy may be made from time to time at the discretion of Provident Capital's Investment Committee.

Third-party investment professionals, including, but not limited to registered investment advisors and broker/dealers, may make available separate managed accounts (SMAs) that attempt to track our indexes. Provident Capital Management, Inc. makes available SMA’s that attempt to track our indexes. PCM maintains full discretion in implementing SMA’s for clients. Difference in holdings and percentage of holdings between actual accounts and the index may occur. PCM's Absolute Index selection uses an approach selecting the ETFs based upon a multi-factor quantitative approach.

There are three primary types of actively managed indexes developed and managed by PCM:

1. Macro: Broad based equities, fixed income, currencies and commodities.
2. Tactical: Equities and fixed income specific to countries, sectors and certain commodity ETFs.
3. Asset Class Specific: Such as Absolute Metals Index, or Absolute Currency Index.

PCM’s index performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends from January 1, 2003 through December 31 2010 and no reinvestment of dividends January 1, 2011 through present. Performance does not include management custodial or trading fees. Investment products that may be based on Provident Capital Management’s Absolute IndexesSM are not necessarily sponsored by Provident Capital Management, Inc. and Provident Capital Management or any affiliate, advisor or representative does not make any representation regarding the advisability of investing in them. Indexes have an inception date of January 1, 2003 unless otherwise noted in this document. Inclusion of a mutual fund or exchange traded fund in an index does not in any way reflect an opinion of Provident Capital Management regarding the investment merits of such a fund. None of the funds included in the index have given any real or implied endorsement or support to Provident Capital Management or to any index owned or operated by Provident Capital Management.

January 2011 Provident Capital Management started reporting index results monthly to Morningstar. January, 2 2012 Provident Capital Management switched from monthly reporting to daily reporting. Daily reporting was through an electric submission process and is the calculated index value based upon the closing price of the underlying index holdings.

As this is an actively managed index Provident Capital Management may add or remove ETF candidates for any reason including but not limited to volume, liquidity and ETF issuer related events.

Absolute Indexes typically include one or more ETFs that are inverse to the long positions. The inverse ETFs must meet the same criteria as the long ETFs to be included in the active index. Should the ETF(s) not meet the inclusion criteria then the percent allocated to the non-investable ETF will rotate into cash or a cash equivalent ETF. As the index selects a number of ETFs based upon the quantitative criteria for the index, and if the respective Index includes an inverse ETF, it is possible that the index may be simultaneously in a long position and an inverse position in the same asset class or even similar ETF.

One cannot invest directly in an index. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. One of the limitations of hypothetical model performance results is that they are prepared with the benefit of hindsight. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading or investment strategy which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Not all ETFs that are current candidates for the Absolute Index were available during the timeframe reported. Provident Capital’s Investment Committee makes every attempt to stay current with the availability of ETFs or other investments that may meet the standards of liquidity and transparency to be included as a candidate in any of the indexes. Results shown are for the index, not actual performance in any Provident Capital accounts. Returns shown are not indicative of actual performance for any client account. Although data shown is gathered from sources believed to be reliable, Provident Capital Management, Inc. cannot guarantee completeness and/or accuracy.

Inclusion of a mutual fund or an exchange traded fund in a Provident Capital index does not in any way reflect an opinion of Provident Capital Management, its Directors, Officers or employees regarding the investment merits of such a fund, nor should it be interpreted as an offer to buy or sell such fund’s securities. None of the mutual funds or exchange traded funds included in an index has given any real or implied endorsement or support to Provident Capital or to this index. Used as supplemental sales literature, the index or portfolio reports must be preceded or accompanied by the current disclosure. The underlying holdings of the portfolio are not federally or FDIC-insured and are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, any financial institution. Investment in securities involve investment risks including possible loss of principal and fluctuation in value.

The information contained in this report is from the most recent information available to Provident Capital Management as of the release date, and may or may not be an accurate reflection of the current composition of the securities included in the portfolio. There is no assurance that the weightings, composition and ratios will remain the same.
