Executive Summary

The Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) Composite report covers the investment results for multiple strategies managed by Vann Equity Management between 2018 and 2025. These strategies span US large‑cap growth and value equities, international ADR equities, index‑based ETF portfolios (global, international and small/mid), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and structured notes. For each composite you will find annual gross and net returns, benchmark comparisons, dispersion statistics, risk metrics and multi‑year performance figures. Reports containing detailed notes, composite descriptions, and benchmark definitions are prepared and presented in compliance with the GIPS® standards.

Objective

Provide complete, GIPS®‑compliant performance data for Vann Equity Management's investment composites. Adhere to global ethical standards for calculating and presenting investment performance based on the principles of fair representation and full disclosure.

Highlights

The International ADR composite delivered a gross return of 29.25% in 2025 vs MSCI EAFE benchmark of 31.22%.

Risk Profile

Risk levels vary across strategies: equity composites generally exhibit higher dispersion and volatility than index‑based ETF portfolios, and smaller‑cap strategies tend to have larger drawdowns in challenging years.

Composite Description and Notes

REIT Equity Composite: At Vann Equity Management, REIT Equity refers to a diversified portfolio strategy focusing only on liquid traded companies on the NYSE, Nasdaq or other US stock exchanges within the REIT Sector. Real Estate Investment Trusts invest in real estate properties or real estate-related assets. These investments are typically focused on generating income through dividends from rental income or property sales while also aiming for capital appreciation. REIT Equities allows clients to invest in the real estate sector without directly owning properties, offering exposure to commercial or residential real estate markets. The strategy may experience losses as it is subject to market risk, interest rate risk, and other economic risks that may influence the returns of this strategy. The REIT Equity composite is compared against the MSCI US REIT Index (grs). The REIT Equity composite has a minimum of $100,000. The REIT Equity composite was created in July 2024 and incepted on May 1, 2021.

Composite Description and Notes

Structured Notes Composite: The Structured Note strategy is designed to optimize risk-adjusted returns through a combination of callable yield notes and callable growth notes. Our structured note composite targets tenors ranging from 12 months to five years, with the most widely used structure being a 3-year term. Notes within this strategy typically include a "no-call" period of between 3 and 12 months, providing a minimum holding window before the issuer can call the note early. This strategy combines both callable yield notes and callable growth notes with objectives of providing income and growth and looks to return an average of 12% return per year when annualized over periods 5 years or longer. The strategy may experience losses as it is subject to market risk, interest rate risk, and other economic risks that may influence the returns of this strategy. The Structured Notes composite is compared against the 40% S&P 500 (TR) & 30% Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill & 30% Bloomberg US Agg Bond. The Structured Notes composite has a minimum of $1,000. The Structured Notes composite was created in July 2024 and incepted on October 1, 2018.

Benchmarks

S&P 500 (TR) - The S&P 500 Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index of the 500 largest U.S. publicly traded companies.

Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill - The Bloomberg US Treasury Bills 1-3 Month Index is designed to measure the performance of public obligations of the U.S. Treasury that have a remaining maturity of greater than or equal to 1 month and less than 3 months.
