Julex is an investment advisory and research firm based in Wellesley, Massachusetts. We develop and market ETF and stock selection managed products and services to meet client needs in the retail and institutional markets. In the retail market, we serve individuals directly and indirectly through our relationships with financial planners and registered investment advisors (“RIA”s). In the institutional market, we serve insurance companies, pension plans, endowments, foundations and others directly, or else indirectly through other asset management organizations. Julex provides continuous and regular investment management services, either on a discretionary basis, as a sub-adviser to other registered investment advisers, or on a non-discretionary basis through model portfolios implemented by other advisers. Julex may act as a sub-adviser to other registered investment advisers (the “Principal Adviser”) who wish to engage us to manage the holdings in their clients’ portfolios. Both Julex and the Principal Adviser may be granted dual trading authority. We may have discretionary authority over a portion of the assets to buy and sell securities based on the client’s individual needs. Julex and the Principal Adviser will share in the fee collected. Julex has developed two styles of investing; 1. its own quantitative asset allocation model and three-step investment process that strives to deliver consistent returns in both bull and bear markets. We tend to reduce risks and preserve capital when the capital markets are weak while providing attractive returns when the capital markets are stronger. We believe that limiting losses is the key to generat ing above- market returns. And, 2. its own quantitative process aiming to generate stock selection alpha unrelated to value, size or momentum Our asset allocation strategies make use of exchange-traded funds (“ETF”), exchange-traded notes (“ETN”), or index funds. Depending upon the strategy chosen, we may invest in ETFs, ETNs or index funds owning U.S. and international equities and bonds, real estate, emerging market securities, gold, commodities, energy, and other securities. Our strategies are “long-only” and do not include derivatives or leverage. Our stock selection strategy uses equity securities based our proprietary multi-factor models. Those strategies are “long-only” and do not use derivatives or leverage. Julex offers both tactical asset allocation and stock selection products including, but not limited to: Dynamic Sector, Dynamic Income, Dynamic Multi-Asset, Dynamic Real Asset, Dynamic Emerging Market, Dynamic Developed Markets, Dynamic Macro Opportunities II, Dynamic Sector Smart-Beta, TrueAlpha Large Cap, Risk Managed TrueAlpha Large Cap,

Financial advisors, RIAs, individuals, and institutional clients will typically choose one of the portfolio strategies, or combination of strategies, depending upon the investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other factors they are trying to meet. Julex also offers a suite of global asset allocation solutions designed to provide targeted levels of risk. For these products we allocate appropriate combinations of the Julex Dynamic products plus other asset class ETFs, ETNs, or index funds into mixes supporting Dynamic Defensive, Dynamic Conservative, Dynamic Moderate, or Dynamic Aggressive “all-in-one” products. In addition, Julex offers a suite of options overlay strategies aiming to improve investment performance through income enhancement, downside protection or capital appreciation. Please see Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss for details of these strategies. Also, Julex may act as a model portfolio advisor that offers its model strategies to independent investment advisors or third-party platforms (either Unified Managed Account (“UMA”) or other platforms) who employ the models in the management of their clients’ investments. Julex develops and manages its investment strategies and provides current asset allocations and changes to the investment advisor or third -party platforms as the model changes. The investment advisor or third-party platforms are then responsible to transact the Julex model recommendations for their clients and perform other administrative duties as their discretionary assets. Assets managed through this structure are non- discretionary to Julex. In addition, Julex offers consulting services and investment products to institutional clients to provide customized investment solutions based on our models and product strategies. We work with institutional clients seeking to optimize the management of their investments against the unique characteristics of their liabilities and also help them to improve the total risk/return profile of their total return accounts.
