Huntington Asset Services will assist two investment firms with the launches of their mutual fund offerings. Huntington Asset Services is a provider of fund administration and accounting, as well as distribution and transfer agency services. “We are pleased to have been selected to be the service provider for such respected investment firms like BRC Investment Management and Mitchell Capital Management,” said Joseph Rezabek, president of Huntington Asset Services. “With the launch of a new mutual fund, it is critical that the adviser be able to rely on experts who can navigate the fund through the many operational and regulatory issues that arise. We bring years of such expertise to its clients, so firms such as BRC and Mitchell can focus on servicing their customers.” BRC Investment Management, LLC launched the BRC Large Cap Focus Equity Fund, an open-ended fund which seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation that will exceed the S&P 500® Index by investing in 30-35 sector diversified equity securities within the range of the market capitalizations of the companies in the Index. The new mutual fund provides investors with access to the adviser’s 16+ year old flagship BRC Large Cap Concentrated Equity strategy, previously available to only select institutions and wealthy individuals. The fund launched in December 2012 in the Valued Advisers Trust. As of September 30, 2012, BRC Investment Management LLC had assets under management of $514.4 million. “BRC Investment Management cares deeply about helping our clients achieve their long-term financial goals,” said John R. Riddle, CFA, managing principal and chief investment officer for BRC Investment Management. “Huntington Asset Services has helped guide us through the numerous operational requirements that launching a mutual fund entails, so we can focus on giving our customers the very best solutions to their financial situations.” Mitchell Capital Management Co. launched the Mitchell Capital All-Cap Growth Fund, a fund that seeks capital appreciation and invests primarily in a portfolio of diversified common stocks, generally consisting of 25-50 security positions, that Mitchell Capital Management Co. believes have high above average future growth potential relative to their peers. The fund will focus primarily on U.S. companies without regard to market capitalization or industry segmentation. The fund launched in March 2013 in the Valued Advisor Trust. As of September 30, 2012, Mitchell Capital Management Co. had assets under management of $636 million. “The decision to select Huntington Asset Services for the launch of our mutual fund was based on their long history of mutual fund management, their experienced team of professionals, and their attention to every aspect of mutual fund support,” said Jonn Wullschleger, vice president and portfolio manager for Mitchell Capital Management. “The Valued Advisers Trust gave us a streamlined approach to successfully launch our fund and deliver the customer-centric performance our clients have come to expect from us.”

In September, Huntington Asset Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (NASDAQ: HBAN(www.huntington.com), presented emerging trends and strategies for mutual fund growth at its annual client conference in Indianapolis. One interesting trend presented at this year’s second annual conference is that for the year-to-date period through August 31, 2011, net inflows for funds that have not been assigned a Morningstar Rating™ ranked second only to those of funds receiving a “Five Star” rating from Morningstar. . Unrated funds typically have been in existence for fewer than three years’ time, which suggests that new entrants can compete successfully against more established funds. The Morningstar Rating metric has historically had a significant influence on mutual funds selected by investors and their financial advisors. “This clearly underscores that advisors and investors are willing to invest in innovative ideas in the mutual fund arena,” said Brian Blomquist, president of Huntington Asset Services. “Many of our newer clients are proof that a great investment thesis, coupled with excellent operational support and sound marketing strategy can be successful.” According to one presenter, Dan Sondhelm, senior vice president and partner of financial marketing firm, SunStar Strategic, “Many larger funds have disappointed investors in recent years, so newer funds that are making a commitment to growth and proactively telling their stories to investors and advisors through the media and with new technology, are attracting the attention they deserve.” In addition, Sondhelm shared Morningstar’s net fund flow figures for the year-to-date period ending August 2011. In doing so, he pointed out that funds that offer strategies beyond traditional stocks and bonds, such as commodities, emerging markets and hedging strategies have seen significant inflows. A good example is the TEAM Asset Strategy Fund, which has been working with Huntington Asset Services since December 2009 and has seen 23% growth of assets under management in the past year. Huntington Asset Services is a premier provider to new and emerging mutual funds. At this year’s conference, clients, prospective clients and guests were treated to an impressive roster of speakers and panelists including: • Karen Barr, The Investment Adviser Association • Ira Cohen, Industry Consultant • Tim Dolan, Dolan Capital Group • Sonja Formato, Fidelity FundsNetwork • Chad Oviatt, Huntington Bank • Tony Poleondakis, Piedmont Capital Distributors • Varanont Ruchira, Huntington Asset Services • Dee Anne Sjogren, Thompson Coburn • Dan Sondheim, SunStar Strategic • Anna Maria Spurgin, Huntington Asset Services • Bill Thomas, former CEO of Grail Advisors • Jeff Young, Huntington Asset Services Topics ranged from trends in the wholesaling of mutual funds to a Capitol Hill, SEC and FINRA update.
