Disclosure
SeaCrest Investment Management, LLC (“SeaCrest”) is a Registered Investment Advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). This report is provided for informational purposes only to summarize the investment philosophy of the SeaCrest Global Clean Energy
Portfolio, a separate account strategy managed by SeaCrest. This report is not to be considered investment advice nor an offer for this strategy.
Investment management services are provided by SeaCrest only after enter into an investment management agreement with SeaCrest or and/or
an approved financial intermediary. Information is as of a point in time and is subject to change.
Performance data presented herein represents past performance and is not an indication of future results. A client's actual performance will differ
from the performance data shown due to timing of investment, size of the portfolio and the advisory fees charged by SeaCrest and/or a financial
intermediary.
There is no assurance that an investment will achieve its objective. Investments are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the
market values of securities owned by the investment will decline and that the value of the investment may therefore be less than what you paid
for them. Accordingly, you can lose money. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic, and market
risks. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments.
The SeaCrest Clean Energy Index is an unmanaged index produced by SeaCrest. The index does not take transaction costs or investment fees
into consideration, whereas performance figures contained herein are net of such costs and fees. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”) is an unmanaged stock market index based on the market capitalizations of the 500 large
companies that trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The S&P 500 Index is used herein only as a general measure of market
performance.
SeaCrest claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ®) and has prepared and presented this report in
compliance with these standards. SeaCrest has been independently verified for the periods: June 1, 2006 through December 31, 2013.
Independent verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS® standards on
a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS®
standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite, including this report. The verification report is available upon
request. SeaCrest also maintains a complete list and description of composites, which is available upon request.
