BigSur's mission is to provide customized and holistic solutions to select global wealthy families, aiming to meet all of their wealth management needs.
Why BigSur
• Wealth is destroyed in 3 generations. We are helping our families “manage” their wealth to avoid this trend, so that they can leave a legacy
• We found that there was no one in the industry doing this the right way, so we decided to be a market leader and just do it ourselves
“We wanted a better way” Industry is structurally organized in a conflictive way for clients- not aligned for best interests of clients. Pushing product, multiple fee schedules, high banker turnover, limited access to products and investment opportunity
4
BigSur’s Compensation Structure Allows for Total Independence− No “product-based” compensation (no “related party” agreements)− Rebates paid back to clients− No transaction fees− All cost-savings are 100% passed on to the client
Independent Perspective− Goal to find “best-in-class” products based on their own merit−View based mainly on “buy-side” research
100% Open Architecture−Access multiple trading counterparts and third party managers− No ties with any financial institution (banks, brokers, product-producers)
Our motto is “The Value of Independence”

We analyze data and information from “best in class” research providers across asset types/markets to support our investment recommendations

II. Investment Research
“Cross-referencing” is core to our investment approach: we are constantly looking at a variety of sources when creating our views. Below is an example of one approach we use to identify high yield bonds
21
II. Cross Referencing
Analyze new buys, sells & reductions/additions to portfolio
For those new buys/adds we look to see the CreditSights view & analyst insights on positions
For niche or specialized markets we can ask for specialist views (ie long only managers, traders)

BigSur Client

• Opportunistic in areas of private equity, real estate and other illiquid hands-on investments
• Clients can choose to participate or not, given profiles, preferences and exposures
25
Private equity direct investment• “Pure” exposure to real estate as an asset class • Greater control/choice
Core investments• Well located, well built and significantly leased real estate properties‐ ‐• Characterized by low to moderate risk and stable to moderate returns• Not focused on:
− Value-added: restoring and re-occupying properties in need of financial/physical revival− Opportunistic: ground-up development, land plays, distressed portfolios
Income producing investments• Substitute for fixed income in portfolio: steady income stream • Significantly leased properties- high occupancy rates • High quality tenants
III. BigSur Focus within Commercial Real Estate
BigSur Scoresheet • Qualitative score: average score based on ratings of several qualitative factors• Return analysis: expected return based on three different scenarios• See Scoresheet in following pages
Institutional share classes of mutual funds Access to institutional share classes: clients pay lower fees for the same product. Examples include:
Legg Mason US High Yield, Templeton Offshore funds
Ability to execute cross sale transactionsIf a client wants to sell a bond and another client wants to buy the same bond, we can execute a direct cross sale between the two accounts. Example: A General Electric Float Bond On Feb 23 traded between 94.80 and 97.50 We executed at a mid point (96.15) for our clients and they are not charged any commission and are given the most fair pricing.
