IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The performance data quoted represents past performance.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The performance information shown for separately managed accounts reflects the performance of composites of accounts that does not necessarily reflect the performance that any particular account investing in the same or similar securities may have had during the period. Individual account performance is likely to differ from the composite performance shown for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: differences in market conditions; client-imposed investment restrictions; the timing of client investments and withdrawals; and other factors. All performance results for separately managed accounts have been compiled solely by AHWCO. Information pertaining to AHWCO’s advisory operations, services, and fees is set forth in AHWCO’s current disclosure brochure, a copy of which is available from AHWCO upon request or on AHWCO’s website, www.ahwilliamsco.com. AHWCO’s investment strategies are only available to clients that are “qualified clients” as defined under Rule 205-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, with the exception of Core and Core Plus. All AHWCO investment strategies use leverage, which increases volatility of the returns and may expose an account to greater loss in any given period.
Please see below for important information about the Core Plus investment strategy.

Only funds that provide us with net returns are included in the index calculation. The number of funds that are currently included in the calculations for the most recent months can be found in the footnotes below. Please note that the calculation for the number of funds is time-stamped and that the number of funds will continue to increase until all funds categorized within the sector have reported monthly returns.
