Carlton Hedges & Associates\'s philosophy is simple: almost every investor will
achieve better long-term risk-adjusted results by working with a true open
architecture advisor.

Before Carlton Hedges & Associates launched the open architecture revolution,
investors had to make the unhappy choice between selecting an advisor who was
independent-but-unsophisticated (the traditional pension and endowment consulting
firms) or selecting an advisor who was sophisticated-but-conflicted (global banks,
trust companies, money management firms). Today, virtually all investors faced with
the challenge of managing a significant pool of capital can access open architecture
advice.

A true open architecture firm is completely independent of the rest of the financial
services industry and accepts compensation only from its clients. In addition, open
architecture firms must make the financial commitment to hire only the most
experienced advisors, and those advisors must apply their experience to the issues
that will most affect their clients\' wealth. Matters like asset allocation and
manager search are simply too important to be left in the hands of young analysts.

We are proud of our role in leading the open architecture revolution, and look
forward to introducing you to its benefits.
