4 Set Your Expectations High Whatever your destination, a solid investment program can help speed your progress. Strategic Asset Management is an investment strategy that is customized by your financial advisor and driven by your unique set of investment goals.

5 The Power of Advice What Does Financial Independence Mean to You? A comfortable retirement Funding a child s education Starting your own business Leaving a legacy Keeping up with increasingly complex financial markets demands a high level of expertise and extensive resources. Your financial advisor has access to unbiased research, state-of-the-art technology and comprehensive investment tools. A Relationship Built to Last Your financial advisor is committed to your long-term success. By working with your advisor to develop and execute a strategy tailored to your goals, you can be confident that your sound investment plan will be designed to help increase your wealth over time. Flexible Solutions There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your unique circumstances and personal objectives dictate the method of investing, as well as the types of vehicles chosen to help pursue them. Your financial advisor has the flexibility to offer you the investments most appropriately aligned with your financial goals. Investments you already own can be combined with those selected by your advisor to complete your customized portfolio and help ensure the success of your long-term plan. Fee-Based Guidance Fee-based asset management allows you and your financial advisor to share a common goal to grow the value of your assets. A long-term approach to investing, fee-based asset management ties your advisor s compensation directly to the performance of your account. Instead of commissions, your advisor earns an annual fee based on the market value of the account.* You and your advisor concentrate on what matters most building an investment portfolio designed to help meet your specific needs. *The Strategic Asset Management maximum advisory charge is 2.5%. 4 STRATEGIC ASSET MANAGEMENT

6 STRATEGIC ASSET MANAGEMENT The Consultative Process: A Comprehensive Methodology Strategic Asset Management leverages an extensive consultative process that focuses on understanding and meeting your needs.

Step 4: Review and Manage Your Portfolio Once your investments are in place, the process of reviewing and managing your portfolio begins, which includes: Regular meetings and discussions Active ongoing portfolio reviews Periodic re-examination of your investment strategy Rebalancing decisions * Consolidated quarterly performance reports There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not ensure against market risk. * Rebalancing may involve tax consequences STRATEGIC ASSET MANAGEMENT 5

7 The Value of Asset Allocation Throughout all cycles of the financial markets and regardless of your investment objectives, a well-devised and executed asset allocation strategy is central to helping you pursue your long-term goals. At the core of Strategic Asset Management is asset allocation. This involves spreading your investments across several asset classes such as stocks, bonds and cash equivalents to reflect your particular goals. Asset allocation allows your portfolio to participate in a variety of market sectors, while potentially minimizing overall volatility. Keep in mind, asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Each portfolio is individually designed to achieve an optimal blend of investments tailored to your personal goals, time horizon and risk profile. The process encompasses setting investment objectives, establishing weightings for various asset classes, choosing specific investments and making adjustments as circumstances dictate. Why Asset Allocation? 2.1% 4.6% 1.8% Market Timing Other Security Selection Asset Allocation 91.5% of return variance due to asset allocation 91.5% Source: Financial Analysts Journal, May/June, 1991 Diversify Your Portfolio Across Multiple Asset Classes Asset Class Highest Return Lowest Return Large Co. U.S. Growth Stocks Large Co. U.S. Value Stocks Small Co. U.S. Growth Stocks Small Co. U.S. Value Stocks International Stocks Emerging Market Stocks U.S. Bonds International Bonds Source: FactSet. Large Company U.S. Growth Stocks: Russell 1000 Growth Index; Large Company U.S. Value Stocks: Russell 1000 Value Index; Small Company U.S. Growth Stocks: Russell 2000 Growth Index; Small Company U.S. Value Stocks: Russell 2000 Value Index; International Stocks: MSCI EAFE; Emerging Market Stocks: MSCI Emerging Markets Free; U.S. Bonds: Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate; International Bonds: Citigroup WGBI ex US. Treasury bonds and bills are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Please note that the value of bonds generally have an inverse relationship to interest rates. Stocks will experience market fluctuations which can include loss of principal value while bonds offer a fixed-rate of return. Small cap stocks may be subject to a higher degree of market risk than large cap stocks, and the illiquidity of the small cap market may adversely affect the value of these investments so that when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. High yield securities inherently have a higher degree of market risk and there are credit risks associated with the underlying issuers. In addition, the lack of liquidity associated with high yield securities may impair their value. International and emerging market securities are also subject to additional risk such as currency fluctuations and political instability. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be invested into directly. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Value investments can perform differently from the market as a whole. They can remain undervalued by the market for long periods of time. 6 STRATEGIC ASSET MANAGEMENT

9 Your Customized Investment Solution Independent Research Your financial advisor is supported by LPL Financial Research, one of the largest independent research organizations in the industry. With access to timely, detailed information, computer-modeling tools and market intelligence, your financial advisor makes informed decisions on your behalf. No conflicts of interest are imposed by the constraints of proprietary products, investment banking relationships or other activities that may be inconsistent with your needs. Your financial advisor will thoroughly analyze the unbiased research provided by an extensive team of full-time investment professionals and select those investments best suited to your unique financial situation. Customization With Strategic Asset Management, your financial advisor has the breadth of investment types and choices to construct custom-tailored portfolios. Portfolios can be created to minimize the tax consequences of investing, s address current income needs, help protect your retirement assets or seek capital appreciation. Regardless of your investment objectives, your portfolio will be constructed to reflect your personal goals, time horizon and risk parameters, as well as other considerations. Investment Types Your financial advisor will formulate an asset allocation plan based on the combined performance attributes of the individual asset classes. Your portfolio may include, but is not limited to, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, exchange-traded products (ETPs), alternative investments strategies, conservative option strategies, a no-load variable annuity, cash equivalents or a combination of these vehicles. What s more, you have the ability to include investments you already own and may have held for years. Ongoing Management and Rebalancing Portfolio rebalancing * is a critical component of the strategic asset allocation process and essential to the longterm success of your portfolio. Rebalancing is designed to ensure that the allocation of your assets remains in line with your stated investment objectives. Because the relative performance of various asset classes will vary, portfolios that are not reviewed on a regular basis tend to drift from their target allocations. A portfolio that is not regularly rebalanced could assume a risk/reward profile that is not consistent with your investment objectives. Your portfolio will be reviewed on a periodic basis, and adjusted when needed, to help maintain the optimal allocation of your investments. * Rebalancing may involve tax consequences Portfolio Rebalancing Example: Growth with Income Portfolio Original Allocation Non-Rebalanced Portfolio Rebalanced Portfolio 15% Bonds 40% Bonds 60% Equities 85% Equities 40% Bonds 60% Equities In the example above, an investor begins with an asset allocation of 60% equities and 40% bonds. If the performance of the investments pushed that mix to 85% equities and 15% bonds, the investor now has a portfolio that is not in line with their risk/return parameters. By rebalancing, the investor could avoid this type of market-driven change and keep their investments in line with their objectives. 8 STRATEGIC ASSET MANAGEMENT

15 Investor Profile Questionnaire Building Your Financial Foundation The Investor Profile Questionnaire is designed to help you gain an in-depth understanding of your investment objective, which serves as the foundation of your portfolio and guides us in making investment recommendations. Your investment objective is based on many factors, including your time horizon, financial goals and risk tolerance. To build your portfolio, you must clearly define your financial goals. Short-term goals may include buying a house or financing a dream vacation. Long-term goals may include saving for your child s education or planning for your retirement. Your time horizon defines when you want to achieve a goal. It could be 1-5 years, 5-10 years, 15 years, 30 years or more. Risk is an unavoidable part of investing.
