Teamwork

Joe Pope,

Bank President, St. Louis, Mo.

Volunteering at Rebuilding Together St. Louis, the charity that helps repair homes for people in need, has become something of a Scottrade tradition, thanks to the leadership of Joe Pope, President of Scottrade Bank.

A Scottrade associate got the whole thing started, getting the company involved with the organization a few years ago. Shortly after Joe joined Scottrade, he joined in this philanthropic engagement. Together with associates from various departments, a trivia night was planned to raise funds for Rebuilding Together. More than 160 people showed up and the take came to $4,000.

In spring 2009, Joe asked other associates to join him in fixing up a house for a community member. A few weeks later, Joe and a crew of Scottrade associates and their family members showed up at the community member's home with tools and supplies.

Over the next 12 hours, the group transformed the house with much-needed renovations and repairs. This included new ceilings in the living room and dining room. They remodeled the kitchen with fresh paint, new floor, new cabinets, countertops, sink and faucet, upgraded electric service and a new drop ceiling. Flowerbeds were planted in the rear of the house and they created new landscaping for the front of the house, including construction of a keystone wall and installation of edging stones.

"I would just like to say thank you to everyone involved," Joe said in an email to his crew. "I hope you truly appreciate the fact that we made a difference in someone's life on Saturday.

"I took my middle son, Michael, with me on Sunday to put the finishing touches on the kitchen and the community member was there with her daughter," Joe said. "She had been outside all morning admiring our additions to her yard, and she and her daughter were now inside cleaning and moving things around, with the sense of enthusiasm you gain when moving into a new house. She and her daughter couldn't stop thanking me, and I know her appreciation for our efforts was sincere."

Investors should consider the investment objectives, charges, expense, and unique risk profile of an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) carefully before investing. Leveraged and Inverse ETFs may not be suitable for all investors and may increase exposure to volatility through the use of leverage, short sales of securities, derivatives and other complex investment strategies. These funds’ performance will likely be significantly different than their benchmark over periods of more than one day, and their performance over time may in fact trend opposite of their benchmark. Investors should monitor these holdings, consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. A prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF and should be obtained from the issuer. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
