Changing Market Environments

Date: Thursday, February 23, 2006

Time: Registration: 11:15 a.m., Luncheon: 11:45 a.m., Speaker: 12:15 p.m.

Location: The Fairmont Palliser Hotel, 133 – 9th Avenue SW

Guest Speaker: David Burrows, Rockwater Asset ManagementArguably the greatest risks and opportunities arise during periods of change. David Burrows, Managing Director and Market Strategist with Rockwater Asset Management’s Disciplined Leadership Team will discuss his team’s tactical approach to navigating changing market conditions.

David will touch on personal experiences, investment processes and rules that have proven to be successful in both generating consistent returns while protecting capital through difficult environments including a very disciplined selling strategy.

The Disciplined Leadership Approach™ is an active, style agnostic process focused on understanding the current market environment and recognizing change. By identifying the key underlying trends at play in the marketplace, the DL Team concentrates investments tactically within pockets of strength and remains committed as long as the trends remain intact. However, by consistently monitoring for change, applying a disciplined selling strategy and by making tactical use of cash, The Disciplined Leadership Team attempts to protect portfolios against being invested in unproductive assets or through prolonged periods of market weakness placing emphasis on protection of capital.

The Disciplined Leadership Team uses top-down market and sector risk assessment models to set tactical portfolio asset allocation strategy. By combining this approach with quantitative security selection analysis to identify market leaders, the team attempts to provide consistent absolute returns coupled with a low correlation to market indices.
