In January 2006, NorthCoast Asset Management and Investor's Business Daily Inc. (IBD^®) signed an exclusive licensing agreement to provide educated investors with a private investment service dedicated to CAN SLIM^® investing. For the first time, private portfolios are personally constructed for clients based on their needs and objectives using CAN SLIM^® techniques. These investment techniques, which have proven valuable over the last half century, are combined with private client services, such as tax management and portfolio hedging, which were once only available to a bank's wealthiest customers.

At NorthCoast Asset Management, we specialize in quantitative analysis and systematic investing. We have thoroughly analyzed IBD's rankings. Our focus was to mathematically derive which of IBD's stock rankings led to future performance in stocks. Then we built portfolios based on these factors so that we could bring the benefits to individual investors.

We are proud to bring you these portfolios. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to working with you to help you reach your financial objectives.
