8 DISCLAIMERS BANCORPSOUTH Wealth Management Asset Allocation Strategies are comprised of non-proprietary mutual funds. All performance results are presented net of mutual fund fees, but do not include a charge for the Bank s fee. Past performance does not guarantee or indicate future results. Strategy composition and investment performance data assume daily rebalancing of each strategy according to the stated composition of the Strategy. Rebalancing typically occurs semi-annually, but may occur more frequently. The composition of each fund may be changed from time to time by adjusting the percentage allocated to a particular mutual fund, or by adding or removing a fund. Therefore, the actual returns experienced by an account invested in an Asset Allocation Strategy may have been higher or lower. Investment performance is based on information received from Morningstar, and is prepared with the use of Zephyr StyleADVISOR. It assumes reinvestment of all interest and dividends, although some interest and dividends are paid to the account in cash, and therefore not automatically reinvested in the Strategy. Investment performance also takes into consideration all changes in composition of the Strategies for the period reported. The information received from both Morningstar and Zephyr is believed to be accurate and complete. However, no warranty is given as to the accuracy or completeness of the information. Because the timing of purchases into and sales out of a Strategy within the month by an investor will also affect that investor s return, the returns shown are only intended to be generally representative of those experienced for the time periods indicated. Some of the mutual funds comprising the strategies, including money market mutual funds, may pay fees to BancorpSouth in connection with assets invested in these Asset Allocation Strategies. Those fees are generally referred to as Revenue Sharing. BancorpSouth will accept such fees from the funds that offer them. Currently, we receive Revenue Sharing only in the form of sub-transfer agency fees (for services related to buying, selling, and holding fund shares in your account) from some mutual funds, including money market funds, and those fees range from 0-15 basis points. The amount of Revenue Sharing we receive may vary from fund to fund, and may not apply to all funds. Revenue Sharing fees are a part of the fund s expense ratio, which reduces the fund s yield. Revenue Sharing fees are usually expressed in terms of basis points. A basis point represents 1/100th of one (1) percent. So, a Revenue Sharing fee of fifteen (15) basis points would amount to a charge of 15/100th s of one percent of the amount invested in the fund, and would reduce the fund s yield accordingly. However, the investment performance results presented here are net of any such fees. Revenue Sharing payments to BancorpSouth are accrued and paid on the basis of the average daily net assets of BancorpSouth daily valuation accounts invested in the respective funds, and will be retained by BancorpSouth for services rendered to your account. This information does not constitute investment advice, is not intended to be investment advice, and should not be taken as such. Mutual funds are not deposit products, they are not guaranteed by the Bank, they are not FDIC insured, and they may lose value. * The 12-Month Yield is the return generated by interest and dividends realized by the component funds over the previous 12-month period, as a percentage of the latest Net Asset Value of each of the funds. ** The Expense Ratio is the total weighted average fee of the funds combined within the strategy. *** As of November 2012, the 9 strategies were consolidated into 5 strategies. Historical Performance is the equal weighted combination of the prior used strategies. The exceptions to this are the Growth Strategy and Income Strategy retaining their past performance. ****Graphics and Definitions were obtained by using Morningstar and fi360.
