Third-party rankings, awards listings and/or recognition by unaffiliated third-party rating services
and/or publications should not be construed by a client or prospective client as a guarantee that he/she
will experience a certain level of results if Cabana LLC dba Cabana Asset Management and its affiliates
(together “Cabana”) are engaged, or continue to be engaged, to provide investment advisory services,
nor should it be construed as a current or past endorsement of Cabana by any of its clients. Third-party

prospective client will experience a higher level of performance. Generally, but not always, ratings,
rankings and recognition are based on information provided by Cabana. A more detailed disclosure of

Wealth & Finance Magazine: Asset Manager of the Year 2018 – Southern USA – Wealth & Money
Management Awards.
Methodology: Complete information about the awards methodology can be obtained here and is
generally described as follows by Wealth & Finance Magazine:
Entry: Entry is open to any organization and can take the form of self-submission, third-party
recommendation or publisher-cast nomination. Entries made via our website are anonymous,
secure and details are not shared with third party organisations. The preponderance of votes is
driven by Wealth & Finance International; we send direct entry links to relevant organizations,
both within the industry and to our extensive circulation. We also nominate those who we deem
worthy. Where appropriate, media partners and sponsors may also distribute voting forms on our behalf. Prior to undertaking any research, we ask all nominees to formally accept or decline
their nomination, allowing us to focus our efforts on those who choose to engage with the
process and are comfortable being assessed in further detail. Nominees accepting their
nomination form what becomes our shortlist; these candidates progress to an internal review.
There is no cost associated with any part of accepting a nomination or receiving an award and
entries can withdraw at any time.
Evaluation: As we accept self-nominations, the number of votes do not determine the winners.
All organizations are assessed based on the merit of their endeavors, the overall strength of
their entry, and have evidence of recent accomplishments to convince our in-house research
team that they are worthy. We use a combination of primary and secondary research
techniques to acquire both qualitative and quantitative data depending on its relevance to the
program; when rewarding specific funds for instance, we will rely on quantitative information
over fixed timeframes whereas determining the success of a business as whole, we may
appraise them more on the qualitative aspects of their past performance. In addition to our
research, we invite nominees to submit substantiating evidence. By providing this evidence
nominees gain the opportunity to submit information that may not be found in the public
domain or on the nominees’ website; therefore, this can form an important part of the entry
process. A formal document is produced by us, the publisher, to collate this information;
however, our research team accepts filetypes in most common formats.
Judging: Our professional researchers scrutinize information presented across all mediums
and work alongside our senior judge to make the ultimate decision. To advance from nominee
to winner; the candidate must be able to demonstrate expertise in a given area, dedication to
client fullfilment, noteworthy performance or commitment to innovation.
Promotion: Initially, results are announced in confidence, to the winners, and we set an
informal press-embargo. During this time, the award coordinator will liaise with the winners to
review the items in our promotional toolkit. The promotional toolkit is made up of various
packages and celebratory items (some free of charge, some paid-for) designed by our in-house
production and marketing team to achieve to help winners achieve maximum brand exposure.
As our winners select their chosen packages, our production team commence on the fulfilment
of all items necessary for the formal announcement, when the celebratory magazine is
published and the press embargo lifted.
