Why CRM Global Opportunity Strategy?

Boutique culture, intense research driven processEquity investing is our sole focus. As a firm, we have invested according to same philosophy for 38 years

while carefully managing asset growth.

True active management

Our active share has consistently been above 90% since the inception of the global opportunity strategy1

.

Stock selection has been primary source of alpha generation – a differentiator amongst global equity

managers which tend to rely on allocation effect.

Deep team with diverse experienceA team of more than 20 analysts many who were previously practitioners in their fields and have an average of 16 years of financial experience.

Unique, relatively concentrated portfolioAcross our universe of approximately 50 global actively managed equity funds, the majority of our portfolio

(over 50%) is not currently held by any other fund2

.

We seek to invest in 50-70 holdings, allowing stock picking to drive performance.

1 Active share is defined as a measure of the percentage of the portfolio that differs from its benchmark2 Based on analysis of data from Morningstar as of March 31, 2011

CRM’s Global and International focus is core, with a value bias. A fair label would be relative value, which allows for thoughtful, opportunistic investing within the framework of our valuation discipline.

CRM Global Opportunity As of March 2011

One-on-One Presentation Not for Distribution

Investing at the Intersection of Change & Neglect

The intellectual coherence of our investment philosophy is a genuine strength. Every company we buy and hold is characterized by three attributes: change, neglect and valuation.

Change

The global financial markets are rich with change. Every day the markets present investors with

mergers, divestitures, restructurings, new management teams or new products and expanded markets.

Neglect

Especially in its early stages, change tends to be greeted with uncertainty, expressed as investor

neglect - manifested through behavioral finance, low analytical coverage, negative to neutral stock

ratings and low institutional ownership.

Valuation

When change meets neglect, the intrinsic value of a company may exceed the current stock price.

At the intersection of change and neglect with attractive valuation, CRM seeks the potential for

substantial outperformance with lower downside risk.

The conviction to invest before the rewards of change are realized requires an investment process

grounded in intensive original research.

The Decision to InvestInvestment Process

The final decision to invest is made by the Portfolio Managers who generally consider the following:

Emphasize bottom-up, fundamental analysis

Create a proprietary financial model and assess the valuation

Sensitivity to core assumptions

Conduct all level management interviews and company visits

Contact customers, suppliers and competitors

Establish the Investment Case and Target Price, seeking at least

50% upside over a 2 year investment horizon

An Investment Case is established for holdings in the

CRM Global Opportunity, which identifies the expected

quality, neglect, valuation and risk. The Investment

Case is key in maintaining our sell discipline.

Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Sample CompanyCRM Investment CaseAnalyst: Milu Komer

Country: Luxembourg

Sector: Energy

Company Description

Company is one of the leading seamless pipes manufactur-

ers globally. The company is a key supplier to both the inde-

pendent oil majors and state owned oil companies providing

value added and highly customized products. Company has

production facilities strategically positioned across the world

which gives the company a competitive advantage in a more

fl exible production and cost effective structure. Company

has a superior sales and distribution network and is a leader

in technology versus its peers. Company is achieving over

30% EBITDA margins and ROIC of over 20% which we

believe is sustainable over the medium term. We expect the

capex spending will continue to increase over the next few

years especially in the unconventional areas like oil sands,

deepwater, and the Caspian region which are the key focus

areas for Company. Through its global platform, Tenaris

provides a complete solution to investors which includes the

seamless pipe, premium connection and servicing. Tenaris

presents a compelling investment opportunity and we be-

lieve that the shares are worth $40, representing signifi cant

upside from current levels.

Portfolio Construction

Both our buy and sell disciplines revolve around our Investment Case for each individual investment. The final decision to invest/sell is made by the Portfolio Managers:

Buy DisciplineFocus on bottom-up fundamental company research, identifying a high quality of management and overall business franchise

Understand the investment’s risks and rewards subject to strategy’s risk controls and existing holdings.

Portfolio Holdings: 50-70 stocks with an investment horizon of about 2 years

Conviction Weighting: 1-5% position size

Sell DisciplineDependence on the original Investment Case

A stock will be sold when one of more of the following occurs:

Target price is attained, company reaches our fair valuation•

Company’s loss of pricing power and erosion of margin of returns•

Management complacency and fundamentals of the Investment Case deteriorate•

After a decision to sell is made, investment is replaced by a higher conviction stock or one with a greater risk/reward profile.

Investing With Clarity for Over Three DecadesHistory of the Firm

Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC is a leading value manager. We believe our track record, spanning almost 40 years, is testament to our success in serving clients

and providing strong investment performance. Clients benefi t from consistent application of one cohesive philosophy and process, implemented by a team with

diverse experience in appraising the intrinsic value of companies.

CRM’s founding partners, Gerry Cramer, Ed Rosenthal and Ron McGlynn, met in the 1970s. Sharing a fascination for investing in changing companies neglected by

other investors, they founded CRM in 1973 as a value investment specialist. To implement their vision, they created an investment process designed to capitalize

on the returns and minimize the risks inherent in changing companies.

After the painful market decline of 1973-1974, many investors lost interest in stocks, creating a climate of neglect. The challenges of the early 1970s led the

founders of our fi rm to formulate the rationale for investing we follow today. They saw fi rsthand the opportunities inherent in companies experiencing change while

operating in an environment of low investor expectations. While inspired by personal experience, the validity of CRM’s strategy is supported by numerous academic

studies dating from the genesis of the modern stock market to the present.

By the early 1980s, the success of CRM’s investment process led to several positive developments. Our track record attracted institutional clients, helping our

fi rm to grow assets under management and build resources. Jay Abramson joined the fi rm, and over time expanded our team of talented research analysts. The

advent of institutional investors and a new generation of talent in turn brought improvements to the investment process. Specifi cally, we developed more in-depth

approaches to due diligence and formalized valuation techniques.

What began as a collective gleam in three investors’ eyes has turned into an investment company with a 38-year track record based on a proven investment

process. While we have grown as an organization, we nonetheless remain true to our entrepreneurial origins, evident in the shared excitement with which analysts

team up to pursue a new opportunity.

Capitalizing on Change and NeglectInvestment Philosophy

Our track record, spanning almost 40 years, is testament to our success in serving clients and providing strong investment performance. Clients benefi t from

consistent application of one cohesive philosophy and process, implemented by a team with diverse experience in appraising the intrinsic value of companies. The

intellectual coherence of our investment philosophy is a genuine strength. Companies we buy and hold are typically characterized by three attributes: change,

neglect and valuation.

Change

The global fi nancial markets are rich with change. Every day the markets present investors with mergers, divestitures, restructurings, new management teams or

new products and expanded markets.

Neglect

Especially in its early stages, change tends to be greeted with uncertainty, expressed as investor neglect — manifested through behavioral fi nance, low analytical

coverage, negative to neutral stock ratings and low institutional ownership.

Valuation

When change meets neglect, the intrinsic value of a company may exceed the current stock price. At the intersection of change and neglect with attractive

valuation, CRM fi nds the potential for substantial outperformance.

The conviction to invest before the rewards of change are realized requires an investment process grounded in intensive original research.
