BLUMBERG PARTNERS, LLC
CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA

Our investors aren't the only people who benefit. For example, when we develop a network of grain storage warehouses in Nigeria, we're not only helping to enhance the food supplies that are critical to the health and welfare of that nation, we're also putting people to work, creating jobs for as many as 1,000 Nigerians. We're at work around the globe, in areas that range from food security and steel fabrication to real estate development. The projects are varied, but the Blumberg process is the same in every case. Our experienced managers put innovative ideas to work, with discipline, and integrity. And they get results. At Blumberg, our mission is to change the world by putting innovative ideas to work. And we're doing this everyday in countries around the globe. Our family started out in a small corner of Alabama, in the 1800's, where we farmed several thousand acres of cotton and pecans, and later, in Florida, mango groves and tomatoes. We put the land to work in ways that were productive and prudent. We apply those same hard-working principles to all our businesses. The results are impressive. Market leading returns in our equity real estate investment Funds for 30 years; the creation of an agribusiness, Blumberg Grain, that is one of the largest global food security firms in the world; and establishing Blumberg Steel as a major steel fabricator in emerging markets. We're putting capital to work. We're putting ideas to work. We're putting people to work. With discipline, integrity, and results. And, as we're doing that, I'm proud to say that we are indeed changing the world, one project at a time. Much of our work springs from innovative ideas. Sometimes it's new technology. Other times, it's discovering new uses for existing technology, resulting in innovative products and new applications. We're fortunate to have a team of highly accomplished veterans at Blumberg –professionals who have succeeded in volatile market cycles, in the US and abroad. We have experienced expertise across the full spectrum of our businesses. All our business decisions begin with an in-depth analysis by a team of specialists, who work together across functions, because global challenges and opportunities are complex and interconnected, and the answers often lie between the lines. Once we make a decision, we are able to act quickly, because Blumberg is an independent, privately-held firm, with hands-on management, not a slow-moving bureaucracy. This gives us the agility to rapidly make decisions, and then put those decisions to work immediately. Philip F. Blumberg is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Blumberg Partners.
