Disclosure and Assumptions:
The Boardwalk Global ESG Titans strategy results represented here are simulated with the application of a
proprietary, rules-based model. Client results may differ depending on the size of account, timing of trading and
reinvestment of dividends. There are inherent limitations of showing composite portfolio performance based on
model results. Unlike actual client-performance records (which can vary by client), model results cannot
accurately reflect the effect of material economic or market factors on the price of the securities, and therefore,
results may be over or under-stated due to the impact of these factors. Since model results do not represent
actual client-specific trading and may not accurately reflect the impact of material economic and market factors, it
is unknown what effect these factors might have had on Boardwalk’s decision making if Boardwalk were actually
reporting client portfolios.
During the period for which model results are shown, returns are partly a function of the prevailing market
environment. If the environment were to change materially, the model results portrayed here would, in all
likelihood, reflect results different from those portrayed. The ESG Titans Portfolio and Benchmark results
include reinvested dividends or interest, and results are gross of advisory fees and brokerage costs.
There is potential for loss as well as for profits. It should not be assumed that the recommendations made in
the future will be profitable or will equal the performance of the securities in the portfolio. The index shown
is a general market indicator and not available for direct investment. Tax consequences have not been
considered. Investments managed by Boardwalk Capital Management as investment adviser are available via
separately managed accounts.
This is not an offer of securities. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
