5 - SAMPLE - [Retirement Plan Name] Investment Policy Statement Part I. THE PLAN The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan (the Plan ) for the benefit of its employees and their designated beneficiaries. The Company will appoint a Committee to serve as the Plan fiduciary. The Plan is intended to provide participating employees long-term accumulation of savings through contributions to individual participant accounts and the earnings thereon. The Plan is a qualified employee benefit plan intended to comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations, including section 4(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 86, as amended, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 74 (ERISA), as amended. In addition, the Plan is intended to comply with ERISA Section 44(c). The Plan s participants and beneficiaries are expected to have different investment objectives, time horizons and risk tolerances. To meet these varying investment needs, participants and beneficiaries will be able to direct their account balances among a range of investment options to construct diversified portfolios that reasonably span the risk/return spectrum. Participants and beneficiaries alone bear the risk of investment results from the options and their asset allocation. Part II. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVESTMENT POLICY STATEMENT This Investment Policy Statement is intended to assist the Plan s fiduciaries by establishing guidelines for making investment-related decisions in a prudent manner. It outlines the underlying philosophies and processes for the selection, monitoring and evaluation of the investment options offered by the Plan. Specifically, this Investment Policy Statement: Defines the Plan s investment objectives. Defines the roles of those responsible for the Plan s investments. Describes the criteria and procedures for selecting the investment options. Establishes investment procedures, measurement standards and monitoring procedures. Describes corrective actions the committee can take should investment options and investment managers fail to satisfy established objectives. Describes the types of educational materials to be provided to Plan participants and beneficiaries. Describes ways to comply with fiduciary obligations and applicable laws and regulations. This Investment Policy Statement will be reviewed periodically, and, if appropriate, may be amended to reflect changes in the capital markets, plan objectives, or other factors relevant to the Plan. Updated 2/23/2 4k-3 Page of 3

6 - SAMPLE - This Investment Policy Statement (including the criteria for the selection and monitoring of investment options under the Plan) does not apply to employer securities (also known as Company stock) if offered under the Plan. Part III. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES The Committee will select the Plan s investment options based on criteria deemed relevant, from time to time, by the Committee. These criteria may include, but are not limited to, the following: Maximization of return within reasonable and prudent levels of risk. Provision of returns comparable to returns for similar investment options. Provision of exposure to a wide range of investment opportunities in various asset classes and vehicles. Control administrative and management costs. Provision of appropriate diversification within investment vehicles. Investment manager s adherence to stated investment objectives and style. Part IV. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Subject to the terms of the Plan document, the Committee is responsible for selecting the trustee(s); hiring the recordkeeper; hiring the investment consultant; selecting the investment options(s), and selecting an investment(s) for default(s) when a participant or beneficiary fails to provide investment direction. The Committee is also responsible for: Establishing and maintaining the Investment Policy Statement. Periodically evaluating the Plan s investment performance and recommending investment option changes. Periodically monitoring the service providers and investment consultant. Periodically monitoring Plan costs. Providing for Plan participant investment education and communication. In executing its responsibilities, the Committee will make decisions solely in the interest of Plan participants and beneficiaries, for the exclusive purpose of providing Plan benefits and defraying reasonable administrative costs. All investments selected by the Committee are intended to meet requirements of ERISA section 44(c). Part V. MONITORING OF SERVICE PROVIDERS Service providers should be monitored on a regular basis or more frequently if applicable. Administrative and/or recordkeeping service providers may be benchmarked against, but not limited to, industry averages and/or other provider quotes. Monitoring for these service providers should include, but not be limited to, the provider s: Investment offerings and services Recordkeeping technology and services Compliance services and support Technology Participant access and communications Total Plan costs Updated 2/23/2 4k-3 Page 2 of 3

7 - SAMPLE - The monitoring of the plan provider(s) is to ensure that total plan costs and services are competitive and reasonable. Investment consultant service providers (plan and participant level) should be monitored regularly and should include, but not be limited to, the provider s: Investment Due Diligence processes Fiduciary guidance and services RPF/Benchmarking scope and services Technology Participant level access, communications and advice (if applicable) Cost Part VI. SELECTION OF INVESTMENT OPTIONS The selection of investment options offered under the Plan is among the Committee s most important responsibilities. Set forth below are the considerations and guidelines employed in fulfilling this fiduciary responsibility. The Plan intends to provide an appropriate range of investment options that may span the risk/return spectrum. Further, the Plan s investment options are intended to allow Plan participants to construct portfolios consistent with their unique individual circumstances, goals, time horizons and tolerance for risk. Major asset classes to be considered may include, but are not limited to: Conservative Investments Cash and liquid investments including, but not limited to, money market, stable value, and guaranteed interest accounts. Income Investments Income oriented investments including, but not limited to, low, medium, and high quality bond funds, with short, intermediate, and/or long term duration. Management styles may be indexed and actively managed international, global, and domestic styles. Equity Investments Funds that invest in equity securities, both domestic and foreign, including, but not limited to, small, medium, and large market capitalization, with value, blend, and growth investment objectives, which may be actively managed or indexed. Asset Allocation Investments Funds or accounts that invest in a combination of conservative, income, and equity investments, fund of funds accounts combining several of the above investments into one or a series of investments, and manager of managers accounts combining several different investment styles and fund managers into one account or a series of accounts. Updated 2/23/2 4k-3 Page 3 of 3

8 - SAMPLE - Other Investments Other appropriate investments in other styles or asset classes offered through vehicles such as commingled trusts, insurance company separate accounts through a group annuity contract, and mutual funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may consider, but is not required, to include in the investment menu any specific investment asset class, option, or style. Default Investment(s) The Investment Committee will evaluate and choose an investment or set of investments to serve as the default investment(s) for the Plan. The default investment(s) will be the designated investment for dollars contributed to the Plan by participants and/or the employer for which the Plan has not received investment direction. The default investment will be selected to comply with the requirements of ERISA section 44(c)(5) and the regulations promulgated thereunder as a qualified default investment alternative ( QDIA ). After determining the desired asset classes, the Committee will evaluate and choose the desired investment option(s) for the Plan s investment menu. If an investment manager (responsible for the management of the underlying investment vehicle, such as a mutual fund, commingled account or separate account) is chosen as the investment option, the following minimum criteria should be considered:. The investment manager should be a bank, insurance company, investment management, mutual fund company or an investment advisor under the Registered Investment Advisors Act of 4; 2. The investment manager should operate in good standing with regulators and clients, with no material pending or concluded legal actions against it; and 3. All relevant quantitative and qualitative information on the fund manager and fund should be made available by the manager and/or vendor. In addition to the minimum criteria above, all investments under consideration should meet the following standards for selection:. Investment performance should be competitive with an appropriate style-specific benchmark and the median return for an appropriate, stylespecific peer group (where appropriate and available, long-term performance of an investment manager may be inferred through the performance of another investment with similar style attributes managed by such investment manager); 2. Specific risk and risk-adjusted return measures should be reviewed by the Committee and be within a reasonable range relative to appropriate, style-specific benchmark and peer group; 3. The investment manager should demonstrate adherence to the stated investment objective, without excess style drift over trailing performance periods; 4. Fees and fee structures should be competitive compared with similar investments reasonably available to the Plan; 5. The investment manager should exhibit attractive qualitative characteristics, including, but not limited to, acceptable manager tenure; and 6. The investment manager should be able to provide performance, holdings, and other relevant information in a timely fashion with specified frequency. Furthermore, investment managers (to be used interchangeably with the term fund throughout the Investment Policy Statement) will be evaluated and selected utilizing an investment manager score card, detailed in Part VII (Investment Monitoring and Reporting). Updated 2/23/2 4k-3 Page 4 of 3

9 - SAMPLE - Finally, any fiduciary warranty or guarantee offered by the service provider will be considered in the investment selection process, but will not supersede the provisions of this Investment Policy Statement. Part VII. INVESTMENT MONITORING AND REPORTING The ongoing monitoring of investments is a regular and disciplined process. Monitoring confirms that the criteria remain satisfied and that an investment option continues to be appropriate. The process of monitoring investment performance relative to specified guidelines will be consistently applied. Frequent change of investments is neither expected nor desired. The Committee will bear in mind any and all political, social, economic or other changes that may potentially require more frequent review and consideration of investments. The following are some, but not all, general factors that may be considered in ongoing monitoring: Current regulatory environment, Current state of capital markets, Performance of investment alternatives, Utilization of accounts by Plan demographic, The prudent applicability of this Investment Policy Statement as written, in light of prevailing facts and circumstances. Monitoring will utilize the same investment selection criteria used in the original selection analysis. Unusual, notable, or extraordinary events will be communicated by the investment manager and/or vendor on a timely basis to the Committee. Examples of such events include portfolio manager or team departure, violation of investment guidelines, material litigation against the investment management firm, or material changes in firm ownership structure and announcements thereof. If overall satisfaction with the investment option is acceptable, no further action is required. If areas of dissatisfaction exist, the investment manager must take steps to remedy the deficiency. If over a reasonable period the manager is unable to resolve the issue, removal of the investment option may result. For supported asset classes, an investment manager score card will be maintained and documented (see addendum) to substantiate acceptable levels of manager performance and appropriate style characteristics. Based upon objective criteria, derived from Modern Portfolio Theory concepts, each fund will receive a score reflecting its overall performance. If a fund fails to meet the criteria standards, as determined by its score, it will be placed on a watch list. (In the event a fund receives a score which is below that of watch list status, or experiences extraordinary circumstances which may render it inappropriate to maintain, it may be considered for removal at the earliest administratively reasonable date.) If this fund continues to remain on watch list for the following three quarters, or four of the following seven quarters, the fund should be considered for possible removal. If the fund meets criteria standards for four consecutive quarters, it may be removed from the watch list. Asset Allocation funds and/or accounts (risk-based or age-based) will be scored and monitored using the previously described guidelines. Unlike other funds which are monitored and scored individually, these funds should be evaluated as a group. Due to the unique importance of these professionally managed and diversified vehicles for participants in the plan, funds or accounts failing to achieve criteria standards will be carefully reviewed before removal from the plan (in the absence of a reasonable alternative). In addition, funds with short time history should be evaluated qualitatively. Updated 2/23/2 4k-3 Page 5 of 3

10 - SAMPLE - Target-Date (age-based) funds or accounts will have strategies that allow the funds or accounts to grow more conservative over time until a certain retirement date or life expectancy date. This roll down process is commonly referred to as a glide path. The glide path associated with a set of target-date funds should be reviewed to make sure it is appropriate, and continues to be appropriate, for the Plan and Plan s participants. Investments where no score is applied due to specialty focus, short time history or other unique circumstances should be reviewed using a qualitative framework. The foregoing investment monitoring criteria shall not, under any circumstances, be taken as definitive, conclusive, or controlling for removal, termination, or continuation of an investment option. All determinations should be made by the Committee, in its sole discretion, taking into consideration all relevant facts and circumstances. The Company retains full responsibility for the offering and monitoring of any self-directed brokerage account(s) and/or company stock offered as an investment option, which will be reviewed periodically as determined by the Company based on criteria determined by the Company. Special considerations should be contemplated and discussed before allowing either as an investment option. Part VIII. MANAGER REMOVAL An investment manager (i.e., fund) may be removed when the Committee has lost confidence in the manager s ability to: Achieve performance, style, allocation, and/or risk objectives. Maintain acceptable qualitative standards (e.g., stable organization, compliance guidelines). If the investment manager has failed to adhere to and/or remedy one or both of the above conditions, the fund should be considered for removal from the plan. Any decision by the Committee to remove such a fund will be made on an individual basis, and will be made based on all the known facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to: The objective analysis (described above) Administrative impact on the plan Timing Employee communication issues The availability of other (potential replacement) managers Underwriting and plan provider limitations Financial considerations (hard and soft dollar fees) Professional or client turnover A material change in the investment process Other relevant factors Considerable judgment should be exercised in the manager removal decision-making process. A manager should be removed using one of the following approaches: Updated 2/23/2 4k-3 Page 6 of 3

11 - SAMPLE - Remove and replace (map assets) with an alternative manager. Freeze the assets managed by the removed manager and direct new assets to an alternative manager. Phase out the manager over a specific time period. Remove the manager and do not provide a replacement manager. Replacement of a removed manager follows the criteria outlined in Part VI (Selection of Investment Options). Part IX. PARTICIPANT EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION The Plan should communicate to employees that they can direct their own investments and investment changes. Investment communications materials, educational materials, and enrollment support should be available to help Plan participants make educated and informed choices, including:. Periodic enrollment and investment education, through one or more of the following: on-site meetings, phone conference, web conference, Internet, phone (voice-response and live representatives), and written materials; 2. ERISA Section 44(c) disclosure; 3. Summary plan description made available to all participants; 4. General information regarding investment risk, inflation, potential taxation impact, investment earnings, and asset classes; 5. Other investment tools (e.g., investment risk profile questionnaire) to assist participants and beneficiaries in making educated and informed investment decisions; and 6. All additional information required for disclosure by ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code of 86, and all other Federal and state statutes and all regulations promulgated hereunder, and all regulatory guidance provided thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all investment education provided by the Plan and/or Committee, and all communications connected thereto, is not intended, nor shall it be construed, as investment advice to Plan participants. Part X. COORDINATION WITH THE PLAN DOCUMENT Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any term or condition of this Investment Policy Statement conflicts with any section of ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, or regulations promulgated hereunder, or any term or condition in the Plan document, the terms and conditions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, and the Plan document shall control. Part XI. ERISA 44(c) The Company and the Committee intend for the Plan to comply with ERISA Section 44(c) and the regulations there under. Each participant/beneficiary is provided the opportunity to exercise control and to give instructions over his/her account with a frequency that is appropriate for each investment option and, finally, to choose from a broad range of investment options. Plan fiduciaries are thus relieved from liability for investment performance directly resulting from investment decisions made by Plan participants. Updated 2/23/2 4k-3 Page 7 of 3

12 - SAMPLE - The intention to comply with ERISA Section 44(c), and the regulations promulgated hereunder, will be communicated to employees in writing. Part XII. INVESTMENT INFORMATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT The Committee should require the investment manager and/or service provider (administrator, recordkeeper) to offer the following administrative information and support:. Daily valuation of all investments; 2. Daily access to account information via toll-free number and Internet access; 3. The ability to make investment transfers for both existing and future individual account balances on a daily basis (non-business days and holidays excluded). Certain trading practices may be limited to comply with market timing, excess trading, liquidity driven and/or related policies and procedures of the service provider and/or specific investment options; 4. Participant account investment reports produced no less frequently than annually, with similar information available via the Internet at least quarterly; and 5. Quarterly investment performance updates available for participant review via the Internet. Part XIII. REVIEW PROCEDURES This Investment Policy Statement will be periodically reviewed and amended, if appropriate, at any time and without notice, by action of the Committee. It is not expected that this Investment Policy Statement will change frequently. In particular, short-term changes in the financial markets should not require amendments to this Investment Policy Statement. NOTE: This document provides SAMPLE wording and should be reviewed by legal counsel prior to signing and executing.

13 - SAMPLE - ADDENDUM TO PART VII: INVESTMENT MONITORING AND REPORTING card SM System Methodology The card SM System methodology incorporates both quantitative and qualitative factors in evaluating fund managers and their investment strategies. The card SM System is built around pass/fail criteria, on a scale of to (with being the best) and has the ability to measure Active, Passive and Asset Allocation investing strategies. Active and Asset Allocation strategies are evaluated over a five year time period, and Passive strategies are evaluated over a three year time period. Eighty percent of the fund s score is quantitative (made up of eight unique factors), incorporating modern portfolio theory statistics, quadratic optimization analysis, and peer group rankings (among a few of the quantitative factors). The other 2% of the score is qualitative, taking into account things such as manager tenure, the fund s expense ratio relative to the average fund expense ratio in that asset class category, and the fund s strength of statistics (statistical significance). Other criteria that may be considered in the qualitative score includes the viability of the firm managing the assets, management or personnel issues at the firm, and/or whether there has been a change in direction of the fund s stated investment strategy. The following pages detail the specific factors for each type of investing strategies. Combined, these factors are a way of measuring the relative performance, characteristics, behavior and overall appropriateness of a fund for inclusion into a plan as an investment option. General fund guidelines are shown in the card Point System table below. The card Point System is meant to be used in conjunction with our sample Investment Policy Statement, in order to help identify what strategies need to be discussed as a watch-list or removal candidate; what strategies continue to meet some minimum standards and continue to be appropriate; and/or identify new top-ranked strategies for inclusion into a plan. card Point System Good: Acceptable: Watch List: Poor: - Points 7-8 Points 5-6 Points -4 Points Sample card Summary and investment report excerpt Updated 2/23/2 4k-3 Page of 3

14 - SAMPLE - Evaluation Criteria Active strategies are investment strategies where the fund manager is trying to add value and out-perform the market averages (for that style of investing). Typically, these investment strategies have higher associated costs due to the active involvement in the portfolio management process by the fund manager(s). For this type of investment strategy, the card SM System is trying to identify those managers who can add value on a consistent basis within their own style of investing. Quantitative Factors (-8): ) Analysis: s-based analysis to determine the style characteristics of a fund over a period of time. Fund passes if it reflects the appropriate style characteristics. analysis helps ensure proper diversification in the plan. Factors 3% 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Drift: s-based analysis to determine the behavior of the fund/manager over multiple (rolling) time periods. Fund passes if the fund exhibits a consistent style pattern. consistency is desired so that funds can be effectively monitored within their designated asset class. R-Squared: Measures the % of a fund s returns that are explained by the benchmark. Fund passes with an R2 > 8%. This statistic measures whether the benchmark used in the analysis is appropriate. Risk/: Fund passes if its risk is less than the benchmark or its return is greater than the benchmark. Favorable risk/return characteristics are desired. Up/Down Capture Analysis: Measures the behavior of a fund in up and down markets. Fund passes with an up capture > its down capture. This analysis measures the relative value by the manager in up and down markets. Information Ratio: Measures a funds relative risk and return. Fund passes if ratio is >. This statistic measures the value added above the benchmark, adjusted for risk. Risk/ Factors 3% 7) s ing: Fund passes if its median rank is above the 5 th percentile. 8) Information Ratio ing: Fund passes if its median rank is above the 5 th percentile. This ranking ranks risk adjusted excess return. Qualitative Factors (-): -) Two points may be awarded based on qualitative characteristics of the fund. Primary considerations are given to manager tenure, fund expenses and strength of statistics, however, other significant factors may be considered. It is important to take into account non-quantitative factors, which may impact future performance. ings 2% Qualitative Factors 2% Updated 2/23/2 4k-3 Page of 3

15 - SAMPLE - Evaluation Criteria Passive Strategies Passive strategies are investment strategies where the fund manager is trying to track or replicate some area of the market. These types of strategies may be broadbased in nature (e.g., the fund manager is trying to track/replicate the entire U.S. equity market like the S&P 5) or may be more specific to a particular area of the market (e.g., the fund manager may be trying to track/replicate the technology sector). These investment strategies typically have lower costs than active investment strategies due to their passive nature of investing and are commonly referred to as index funds. For this type of investment strategy, the card SM System is focused on how well these managers track and/or replicate a particular area of the market with an emphasis on how they compare against their peers. Quantitative Factors (-8): ) Analysis: s-based analysis to determine the style characteristics of a fund over a period of time. Fund passes if it reflects the appropriate style characteristics. analysis helps ensure proper diversification in the plan. 2) Drift: s-based analysis to determine the behavior of the fund/manager over multiple (rolling) time periods.

16 - SAMPLE - Evaluation Criteria Asset Allocation Strategies Asset allocation strategies are investment strategies that invest in a broad array of asset classes that may include U.S. equity, international equity, emerging markets, real estate, fixed income, high yield bonds and cash (to name a few asset classes). These strategies are typically structured in either a risk-based format (the strategies are managed to a level of risk, e.g., conservative or aggressive) or, in an age-based format (these strategies are managed to a retirement date or life expectancy date, typically growing more conservative as that date is approached). For this type of investment strategy, the card SM System is focused on how well these managers can add value from both asset allocation and manager selection. Quantitative Factors (-8): ) Risk Level: The fund s standard deviation is measured against the category it is being analyzed in. The fund passes if it falls within the range for that category. Factors 3% 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Diversity: Fund passes if it reflects appropriate style diversity (returns-based) among the four major asset classes (Cash, Fixed Income, U.S. & International Equity) for the given category. R-Squared: Measures the % of a fund s returns that are explained by the benchmark. Fund passes with an R2 > %. This statistic measures whether the benchmark used in the analysis is appropriate. Risk/: Fund passes if its risk is less than the benchmark or its return is greater than the benchmark. Favorable risk/return characteristics are desired. Up/Down Capture Analysis: Measures the behavior of a fund in up and down markets. Fund passes with an up capture > its down capture. This analysis measures the relative value by the manager in up and down markets. Information Ratio: Measures a funds relative risk and return. Fund passes if ratio is >.

17 - SAMPLE - Disclosures and Notes Some funds, accounts, or share classes used in the enclosed analysis may not be available for investment. Performance history prior to inception (if applicable) reflects another share class or account reflecting the advisor s historical performance record. Investment objectives and strategies vary among fund, and may not be similar for funds included in the same asset class. Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance data quoted may not reflect the deduction of additional fees, if applicable. If reflected, additional fees would reduce the performance quoted. Performance data is subject to change without prior notice. Performance of indexes reflects the unmanaged result for the market segment the selected stocks represent. Indexes are unmanaged and not available for direct investment. The information used in the analysis has been taken from sources deemed to be reliable, including, third-party providers such as Markov Processes International, Morningstar, firms who manage the investments, and/or the retirement plan providers who offer the funds. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure completeness and accuracy; however, the final accuracy of the numbers and information is the responsibility of the investment manager(s) of each fund and/or the retirement plan providers offering these funds. Discrepancies between the figures reported in this analysis, and those reported by the actual investment managers and/or retirement plan providers, may be caused by a variety of factors, including: Inaccurate reporting by the manager/provider; Changes in reporting by the manager/provider from the time this report was prepared to a subsequent retro-active audit and corrected reporting; Differences in fees and share-classes impacting net investment return; and, Scriveners error preparing this report. Fund scores will change as the performance of the funds change and as certain factors measured in the qualitative category change (e.g., manager tenure). Fund scores are not expected to change dramatically from each measured period, however, there is no guarantee this will be the case. s will change depending on the changes in the underlying prespecified card factors. Neither past performance or statistics calculated using past performance are a guarantee of a fund s future performance. Likewise, a fund s score using the card SM System does not guarantee the future performance or style consistency of a fund. The purpose of this report is to assist fiduciaries in selecting and monitoring investment options. A fund s score is meant to be used by the plan sponsor and/or fiduciaries as a tool for selecting the most appropriate fund. Fund selection is at the discretion of the investment fiduciaries, which are either the plan sponsor or the committee appointed to perform that function. Cash Equivalents (e.g., money market fund) and some specialty funds are not scored by the card SM System. The enclosed Investment Due Diligence report and card is not an offer to sell mutual funds. An offer to sell may be made only after the client has received and read the appropriate prospectus. For the most current month-end performance, please contact Retirement Plan Advisory Group at (877) Carefully consider the investment objectives, risk factors and charges and expenses of the investment company before investing. This and other information can be found in the fund s prospectus, which may be obtained by contacting your Investment Advisor/Consultant or Vendor/Provider. Read the prospectus carefully before investing. For a copy of the most recent prospectus, please contact your Investment Advisor/Consultant or Vendor/Provider. The enclosed Investment Due Diligence report, including the card SM System, is intended for plan sponsor and/or institutional use only. The materials are not intended for participant use.

20 Evaluation Criteria Passive Strategies Passive strategies are investment strategies where the fund manager is trying to track or replicate some area of the market. These types of strategies may be broadbased in nature (e.g., the fund manager is trying to track/replicate the entire U.S. equity market like the S&P 5) or may be more specific to a particular area of the market (e.g., the fund manager may be trying to track/replicate the technology sector). These investment strategies typically have lower costs than active investment strategies due to their passive nature of investing and are commonly referred to as index funds. For this type of investment strategy, the card SM System is focused on how well these managers track and/or replicate a particular area of the market with an emphasis on how they compare against their peers. Quantitative Factors (-8): ) Analysis: s-based analysis to determine the style characteristics of a fund over a period of time. Fund passes if it reflects the appropriate style characteristics. analysis helps ensure proper diversification in the plan. 2) Drift: s-based analysis to determine the behavior of the fund/manager over multiple (rolling) time periods. Fund passes if the fund exhibits a consistent style pattern. consistency is desired so that funds can be effectively monitored within their designated asset class. & Tracking Factors 4% 3) R-Squared: Measures the % of a fund s returns that are explained by the benchmark. Fund passes with an R2 > 5%. This statistic measures whether the benchmark used in the analysis is appropriate. 4) 5) 6) Tracking Error: Measures the % of a fund s excess return volatility relative to the benchmark. Fund passes with a TE < 4. This statistic measures how well the fund tracks the benchmark. Tracking Error ing: Fund passes if its median rank is above the 75 th percentile. Expense Ratio ing: Fund passes if its median rank is above the 75 th percentile. ings 4% 7) s ing: Fund passes if its median rank is above the 75 th percentile. 8) Sharpe Ratio ing: Fund passes if its median rank is above the 75 th percentile. Qualitative Factors (-): -) Two points may be awarded based on qualitative characteristics of the fund. Primary considerations are given to fund expenses and strength of statistics, however, other significant factors may be considered. It is important to take into account non-quantitative factors, which may impact future performance. Qualitative Factors 2% 2. Retirement Plan Advisory Group. All rights reserved. RPAG-2-4 3

21 Evaluation Criteria Asset Allocation Strategies Asset allocation strategies are investment strategies that invest in a broad array of asset classes that may include U.S. equity, international equity, emerging markets, real estate, fixed income, high yield bonds and cash (to name a few asset classes). These strategies are typically structured in either a risk-based format (the strategies are managed to a level of risk, e.g., conservative or aggressive) or, in an age-based format (these strategies are managed to a retirement date or life expectancy date, typically growing more conservative as that date is approached). For this type of investment strategy, the card SM System is focused on how well these managers can add value from both asset allocation and manager selection. Quantitative Factors (-8): ) Risk Level: The fund s standard deviation is measured against the category it is being analyzed in. The fund passes if it falls within the range for that category. Factors 3% 2) Diversity: Fund passes if it reflects appropriate style diversity (returns-based) among the four major asset classes (Cash, Fixed Income, U.S. & International Equity) for the given category. 3) 4) 5) 6) R-Squared: Measures the % of a fund s returns that are explained by the benchmark. Fund passes with an R2 > %. This statistic measures whether the benchmark used in the analysis is appropriate. Risk/: Fund passes if its risk is less than the benchmark or its return is greater than the benchmark. Favorable risk/return characteristics are desired. Up/Down Capture Analysis: Measures the behavior of a fund in up and down markets. Fund passes with an up capture > its down capture. This analysis measures the relative value by the manager in up and down markets. Information Ratio: Measures a funds relative risk and return. Fund passes if ratio is >. This statistic measures the value added above the benchmark, adjusted for risk. Risk/ Factors 3% 7) s ing: Fund passes if its median rank is above the 5 th percentile. 8) Sharpe Ratio ing: Fund passes if its median rank is above the 5 th percentile. This ranking ranks risk adjusted excess return. ings 2% Qualitative Factors (-): -) Two points may be awarded based on qualitative characteristics of the fund.

22 Disclosures and Notes Some funds, accounts, or share classes used in the enclosed analysis may not be available for investment. Performance history prior to inception (if applicable) reflects another share class or account reflecting the advisor s historical performance record. Investment objectives and strategies vary among fund, and may not be similar for funds included in the same asset class. Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The performance data quoted may not reflect the deduction of additional fees, if applicable. If reflected, additional fees would reduce the performance quoted. Performance data is subject to change without prior notice. Performance of indexes reflects the unmanaged result for the market segment the selected stocks represent. Indexes are unmanaged and not available for direct investment. The information used in the analysis has been taken from sources deemed to be reliable, including, third-party providers such as Markov Processes International, Morningstar, firms who manage the investments, and/or the retirement plan providers who offer the funds. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure completeness and accuracy; however, the final accuracy of the numbers and information is the responsibility of the investment manager(s) of each fund and/or the retirement plan providers offering these funds. Discrepancies between the figures reported in this analysis, and those reported by the actual investment managers and/or retirement plan providers, may be caused by a variety of factors, including: Inaccurate reporting by the manager/provider; Changes in reporting by the manager/provider from the time this report was prepared to a subsequent retro-active audit and corrected reporting; Differences in fees and share-classes impacting net investment return; and, Scriveners error preparing this report. Fund scores will change as the performance of the funds change and as certain factors measured in the qualitative category change (e.g., manager tenure). Fund scores are not expected to change dramatically from each measured period, however, there is no guarantee this will be the case. s will change depending on the changes in the underlying prespecified card factors. Neither past performance or statistics calculated using past performance are a guarantee of a fund s future performance. Likewise, a fund s score using the card SM System does not guarantee the future performance or style consistency of a fund. The purpose of this report is to assist fiduciaries in selecting and monitoring investment options. A fund s score is meant to be used by the plan sponsor and/or fiduciaries as a tool for selecting the most appropriate fund. Fund selection is at the discretion of the investment fiduciaries, which are either the plan sponsor or the committee appointed to perform that function. Cash Equivalents (e.g., money market fund) and some specialty funds are not scored by the card SM System. The enclosed Investment Due Diligence report and card is not an offer to sell mutual funds.

Downside Deviation The downside standard deviation is also referred to as downside risk. The downside standard deviation shows the average size of the deviations(from the mean) when the return is negative. Excess The difference between the returns of a mutual fund and its benchmark. Explained Variance The explained variance measures the variance of the fund that is explained by the benchmark(similar to the R-squared statistic). Information Ratio The information ratio is a measure of the consistency of excess return. The ratio is calculated by taking the annualized excess return over a benchmark (numerator) and dividing it by the standard deviation of excess return(denominator). The result is a measure of the portfolio management s performance against risk and return relative to a benchmark. This is a straightforward way to evaluate the return a fund manager achieves, given the risktheytakeon.

40 Glossary(continued) Sharpe Ratio A ratio developed by Bill Sharpe to measure risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by subtracting the risk free rate from the rate of return for a portfolioanddividingtheresultbythestandarddeviationoftheportfolioreturnstomeasurerewardonaperunitofriskbasis.forexampleifabond fundreturns6%andhasastandarddeviationof4%andtheriskfreerateis2%thenthesharperatioforthisfundwillbe.(6-2)/4=. Significance Level The significance level indicates the level of confidence(on a percentage basis) with which the statement the manager s annualized excess return over the benchmark is positive or the manager s annualized excess return over the benchmark is negative, as the case may be, holds true. Standard Deviation Standard deviation of return measures the average deviations of a return series from its mean(average) return. A large standard deviation implies that therehavebeenlargeswingsinthereturnseriesofthemanager.thelargertheswing,themorevolatilethefund sreturnsandhencemoreimplied risk. For smaller swings the opposite is true. Standard deviation helps us analyze risk by revealing how much the return on the fund is deviating. Drift Thetendencyofafundtodeviatefromitsinvestmentstyleovertimeisstyledrift.Thisgenerallyoccursbecauseofachangeinthefund sstrategy,the manager s philosophy or even a portfolio manager change. During the s dotcom boom, for example, many managers regardless of the strategiestheywereinitiallyboundby wereabletojustifybuyingtechstocksfortheirportfolio,inhopesofcapitalizingonthetechboominthemarket at that time. Consequently, their styles drifted from their original strategy. Tracking Error Tracking error refers to the standard deviation of excess returns or the divergence between the return behavior of a portfolio and the return behavior of a benchmark. Tracking error is reported as a standard deviation percentage difference that accounts for the volatility between the return of a fund versus its benchmark. Volatility of Volatilityofrankismeasuredbytakingthemedianofaseriesofnumbers,ortakingtheabsolutevalueofthedistanceofeachindividualnumbertothat median, then finding the median of those distances. Volatility is used because it makes a better companion to the median than the standard deviation. Standard deviation is commonly used when measuring volatility around the mean(average), while volatility of rank is used for medians.

56 Volume VIII, Number III March 2 Retirement Plan Advisory Group Adapts Due Diligence Process to Incorporate ETFs Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have begun to make serious inroads into 4(k) plans, causing fiduciaries to question the appropriateness, strengths and challenges of such an investment vehicle. Increased usage of ETFs in 4(k) plans requires due diligence on these investments, which is why Retirement Plan Advisory Group (RPAG) has expanded its card SM System to include the ranking of passive investments. By developing a series of standardized benchmarks and peer groupings, the RPAG investment research team programmed the card s -point system to encompass the unique characteristics of ETFs, thus producing a much-needed tool for 4(k) fiduciaries to qualify and quantify ETFs for fitness in plan portfolios. As primarily passive investments, ETFs are becoming a common form of Index Funds, which differ widely from actively managed retail mutual funds. ETFs are more difficult to quantify on costs (bid/ask spread for buying and selling such investments) because they are traded on an exchange in the same manner as stocks. and tracking play pivotal roles in our [ETF] analysis. We use returns-based optimization analysis to determine actual investment behavior of ETFs, which can perform quite differently than the underlying index, explains Jeff Elvander, CFA, Chief Investment Officer for RPAG. For more information on the scoring of passive investments, please contact your RPAG plan consultant or name@ address.com. DOL Proposes Revamped Investment Advice Regulations Since the Pension Protection Act of 26 (PPA), the Department of Labor (DOL) has published, delayed, and withdrawn final rules regarding investment advice. On February 26, 2 the DOL issued new proposed regulations, which closely mirror the original set of regulations. Following is a brief summary of key concepts: Absent an exemption, provision of individual investment advice may be a prohibited transaction under ERISA section 46 and Internal Revenue Code section 475. Proposed regs provide statutory exemption for eligible investment advice using either a computer model, certified as unbiased, or through an adviser who is compensated on a level-fee basis. General rules applicable to both methods: Advice has been authorized by a plan fiduciary, utilizes generally accepted investment theories, takes fees into account, utilizes age, time horizons, risk tolerance, current investments/assets/sources of income, and investment preferences of participant/beneficiary, and is audited on an annual basis by an independent auditor. o o Computer Model: Must be designed to avoid recommendations that inappropriately distinguish among options within an asset class, utilize objective criteria to provide asset allocation portfolios using all investment options available under the plan (but not necessarily company stock, age-based or risk-based asset allocation funds, or annuity options). The model must have a written certification from an eligible investment expert that it meets these requirements. Fee-Leveling: Advisor may not receive compensation that is based upon which investment option is selected, or the level of asset allocation thereto. Adviser must provide written disclosures including, but not limited to: potential conflicts, past performance/historical rates of return of options in the plan, fees, description of services, a statement that the adviser is acting in a fiduciary capacity, and a statement that participants/beneficiaries may arrange for advice by another unaffiliated adviser. The DOL has requested comments, due May 5 th, before they draft and issue final regulations. Your RPAG consultant will continue to keep you informed of developments as they occur. -over-

57 Retirement Report March 2 Page 2 Survey Says: Plan Sponsors Refocus on Participant Savings in 2 According to a recent survey by Hewitt & Associates, 8% of plan sponsors that suspended or reduced their match in 2 are planning to restore it in 2. The survey (which polled 62 mid to large sized plan sponsors covering 5.7 million participants) also revealed that 6% of plans already offer Automatic Enrollment and 27% more plan to add this feature during the year. 38% of companies surveyed indicated that they intend to implement Automatic Escalation and almost half say they are likely to implement Automatic Rebalancing. Finally, more plans are expected to offer investment advice at the participant level by a qualified independent investment advisor. Other available plan features receiving consideration are the Roth 4(k) option and the possibility to add a retirement annuity solution (which is becoming more popular as the products in the marketplace mature). To learn more about how you can encourage participant savings this year, please contact your RPAG plan consultant or name@ address.com. Common Pitfalls of 4(k) Investment Committees Vanguard s Insights newsletter recently contained a column on best practices with Investment Committees. An interesting portion of the column contained a listing of the seven deadly sins of Investment Committees.. Group Think. Typically, Committee Members want to avoid conflict in meetings and will move in the general direction the group is moving. This is evident in all types of Committees at an organization, not just Investment Committees. 2. Group Polarization. Groups tend to make either more conservative or riskier choices than individual members would have made on their own. Investment Committees can offer a diversity of opinions, but it s important for those opinions to be heard. 3. Overconfidence. Group members often think they are better (at investing) than they actually are. A recent study showed that % of drivers think they are above average when it comes to driving, yet most of us have opinions to the contrary during our daily commutes. The same can be said with investment knowledge. 4. Confirmation Bias. Members will often look for data in meetings that confirms their view of the world, while ignoring other important information. An example could be focusing on investment returns for a fund, without taking into consideration style consistency and volatility of the fund manager. 5. Herding. Sometimes members will decide not to stake a claim or opinion, and instead actually make a decision to not be different than the pack, even if its done on a subconscious level. 6. Action Bias. Sometimes members want to do something, as opposed to doing nothing at all. This has been an issue with the market volatility over the past 8 months and sometimes Committee Members feel they need to take action in lieu of letting the markets settle. 7. Social Loafing. Committees are influenced by size and sometimes members of large Committees will not participate while others, the vocal minority, often end up directing the movements of the Committee. Remember that one of the primary roles of Committee Members is to make decisions that are in the best interests of the participants and their beneficiaries. Any of the above pitfalls could lead a Committee astray from that central mandate. If you have questions about the structure of your Investment Committee, please contact your RPAG plan consultant or name@ address.com.
