1 Fi360 TOOLKITS How to Interpret the Fund/ETF Profile and Flash Report Fi360 Fund/ETF Profile and Flash Report Overview The fi360 Fund/ETF profile and Flash Report provides the user with the ability to quickly see how well a Mutual Fund or Exchange Traded Fund stacks up according to the fi360 Fiduciary Score. There are five main components to the Fund/ETF Profile and Flash Report: Fund Basics and the fi360 Fiduciary Score (page 1 of each profile) 2. Fi360 Fiduciary Score Criteria (page 1) 3. Additional Research, Expense Information, and Performance History (page 1) 4. Historical fi360 Fiduciary Score and Historical Quartile Research (page 2) 5. Peer Group Sizes for the Historical Quartile Research Bar Charts (page 3) We will look at each of these five sections in detail on the following pages. Please reference this page to understand what information is included in each section and how it can be useful to you. As you will see, bar charts are used extensively in the reports to visually represent how a fund stacks up in relation to its peer group. To begin, let s review how we use bar charts before reading the report.

2 Bar Chart Basics A bar chart illustrates a percentile breakdown of a peer group. A fund is plotted using a diamond at its corresponding percentile within the peer group. The charts found on the first page of the Fund Profile illustrate a percentile ranking between 1 and 100.* The charts found on the second page only display the quartile placement of the fund during that quarter. In both cases, the closer the fund is to zero, or the top of the bar chart, the better it is compared to its peers. Page 1 of the Fund Profile Bar Chart Diagram Page 2 of the Fund Profile Bar Chart Diagram Criteria Bar Chart Gray Shading is displayed on any due diligence criteria when the fund does not meet the set minimum requirement. # This applies only to Expense Ratio, Alpha, Sharpe Ratio and 1-, 3- and 5- year Return bar charts shown on both pages of the fund profile. 10 th Percentile 25 th Percentile Median (50 th Percentile) Fund 1 st Quartile 2 nd Quartile 3 rd Quartile 75 th Percentile 90 th Percentile 4 th Quartile # Please view the fi360 Fiduciary Score Methodology Document for a full description of the fi360 Fiduciary Score due diligence criteria. Fi360 Fiduciary Score (Qtr) and fi360 Fiduciary Score (3 Yr Avg) Bar Charts 0 - Passed No fiduciary due diligence shortfalls Appropriate The fund may be an appropriate choice for use in a fiduciary account Watch(2) & Watch(3) The fund has noteworthy shortfalls and warrants further research. It may not be an appropriate choice if being considered in a search. However, if already in use, the fund may not need to be replaced Watch(4) The fund has significant shortfalls and may not be appropriate for use in a fiduciary account. Strongly consider replacing the fund if already in use. Calculation of fi360 Bar Charts/Rankings All of the bar charts are created using the following process: 1. We combine raw Morningstar mutual fund and ETF data for all share classes. 2. We use the Morningstar Categories as our peer groups. 3. We then calculate a percentile ranking (1-100)* for the fund compared to its peer group and plot the fund (diamond) on the bar chart (peer group) at its corresponding location. If the fund does not have data for a particular data point, "N/A" is shown on the report. *The fi360 Fiduciary Score bar charts can also have a value of 0, which indicates that the fund has passed all of the due diligence criteria and is at the top of their peer group. For a full description concerning the calculation of the fi360 Fiduciary Score, please view the Fiduciary Score Methodology available in our Tools Help Center at

3 Fund Basics and the fi360 Fiduciary Score Fi360 Fiduciary Score TM The percentile rank of a fund relative to its peer group based on a minimum fiduciary due diligence process. Quarter represents the current quarter score, while Average represents the three year arithmetic average of quarterly Fiduciary Scores when the data is available. Like in golf, the lower the score the better. 2. Alternate Share Classes Displays the fi360 Fiduciary Score TM (QTR) for all other share classes of the particular fund. 3. Peer Group The group of funds, assigned by Morningstar, that has the most similar investment style among all of the funds in the Mutual Fund/ETF universe. The peer groups are also known as the Morningstar Category TM. 4. Benchmark Index A standard against which the performance of an investment can be measured. The Benchmark Index is represented by an orange arrow to the right of the floating bar chart. The default index is the secondary index reported by Morningstar. 5. Fund Availability Designates if the fund is open to new investors, open to new investments for existing investors (soft close) or closed to all new investments. 6. Portfolio Manager(s) The name of the fund manager, or senior most team manager(s), for the fund.

4 Fi360 Fiduciary Score Criteria Inception Date The date on which the fund began its operations. Funds with long track records offer more history by which investors can assess overall fund performance. However, another important factor to consider is the fund manager and his or her tenure with the fund. 2. Assets ($Mil) The month-end net assets of the mutual fund, recorded in millions of dollars. The assets are totaled across all share classes of the fund. Net-asset figures are useful in gauging a fund's size, agility, and popularity. They help determine whether a small company fund, for example, can remain in its investment-objective category if its asset base reaches an ungainly size. 3. Manager Tenure (yr) The number of years that the current manager has been managing the investment. In the case of a team structure, the senior most managers tenure is shown. A manager with a longer tenure will be directly attributable to the overall performance of the fund. 4. Style Consistency A comparison is made of the fund s peer group (3-year style average) and the current Morningstar style box (for the quarter). You can use this criterion to evaluate if the fund has drifted from its peer group and from the original intent of your purchase. This screen is not applied to all asset classes. 5. Composition The screened product can have no more than 20% of the portfolio invested in "unrelated" asset class securities. For example, a Large-Cap Growth product should not hold more than 20% in cash, fixed income and/or international securities. This screen is not applied to all asset classes. 6. Prospectus Net Expense Ratio The percentage of fund assets used to pay for operating expenses and management fees, including 12b-1 fees, administrative fees, and all other asset-based costs incurred by the fund, except brokerage costs. Fund expenses are reflected in the fund's Net Asset Value. Sales charges are not included in the expense ratio. The expense ratio for fund of funds is the aggregate expense ratio defined as the sum of the wrap or sponsor fees plus the estimated weighted average of the underlying fund fees. A fund s higher expense ratio will drag on the overall performance of the fund compared to peers with a lower expense ratio.

5 fi360 Fiduciary Score Criteria (continued) 7. Alpha (3 year) A measure of the difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta. A positive alpha figure indicates the fund has performed better than its beta (or expected return) would predict. In contrast, a negative alpha indicates the fund underperformed, given the expectations established by the fund's beta. All Modern Portfolio Theory statistics (alpha, beta, and R- squared) are based on a least-squared regression of the fund's return over Treasury bills (called excess return) and the excess returns of the fund's benchmark index.* 8. Sharpe Ratio (3 year) A risk-adjusted measure developed by Nobel Laureate William Sharpe. It is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better the fund's historical risk-adjusted performance. The Sharpe ratio is calculated for the past 36-month period by dividing a fund's annualized excess returns by the standard deviation of a fund's annualized excess returns. Since this ratio uses standard deviation as its risk measure, it is most appropriately applied when analyzing a fund that is an investor's sole holding. The Sharpe Ratio can be used to compare two funds directly on how much risk a fund had to bear to earn excess return over the risk-free rate , 3-, and 5- Year Total Returns Expressed in percentage terms, Morningstar's calculation of total return is determined each month by taking the change in monthly net asset value, reinvesting all income and capital-gains distributions during that month, and dividing by the starting NAV. Reinvestments are made using the actual reinvestment NAV, and daily payoffs are reinvested monthly. Unless otherwise noted, Morningstar does not adjust total returns for sales charges (such as front-end loads, deferred loads and redemption fees), preferring to give a clearer picture of a fund's performance. The total returns do account for management, administrative, 12b- 1 fees and other costs taken out of fund assets. Total returns for periods longer than one year are expressed in terms of compounded average annual returns (also known as geometric total returns), affording a more meaningful picture of fund performance than non-annualized figures. 10. Index A collection of securities chosen to represent a specific investment area. Common indexes include the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ Composite. 11. Number of Peers A count of the number of investments within a specific peer group for a particular data point such as 1-year return or Alpha. This number represents the total number of investments used to calculate the peer group rankings for each data point. The peer group sizes are helpful to determine if the fund research was created against a meaningful size of comparable peers. * Morningstar uses a broad asset class index to calculate Alpha, not the Benchmark Index noted in your Fund Profile or Flash Report.

6 Additional Research, Expense Information, and Performance History Turnover Ratio (1 year) A measure of the fund's trading activity computed by taking the lesser of purchases or sales (excluding all securities with maturities of less than one year) and dividing by average monthly net assets. A turnover ratio of 100% or more does not necessarily suggest that all securities in the portfolio have been traded. In practical terms, the resulting percentage loosely represents the percentage of the portfolio's holdings that have changed over the past year. A higher Turnover Ratio can indicate that higher trading costs may impact the performance of the fund. 2. R-Squared (3 year) Reflects the percentage of a fund's movements that can be explained by movements in its benchmark index. * An R-squared of 100 indicates that all movements of a fund can be explained by movements in the index. Thus, index funds that invest only in S&P 500 stocks will have an R-squared very close to 100. Conversely, a low R-squared indicates that very few of the fund's movements can be explained by movements in its benchmark index. An R-squared measure of 35, for example, means that only 35% of the fund's movements can be explained by movements in the benchmark index. R-squared can be used to ascertain the significance of a particular beta. Generally, a higher R-squared will indicate a more reliable beta figure. If the R-squared is lower, then the beta is less relevant to the fund's performance. 3. Standard Deviation (3 year) A statistical measurement of dispersion about an average, which, for a mutual fund, depicts how widely the returns varied over a certain period of time. Investors use the standard deviation of historical performance to try to predict the range of returns that are most likely for a given fund. When a fund has a high standard deviation, the predicted range of performance is wide, implying greater volatility. Standard deviation is most appropriate for measuring risk if it is for a fund that is an investor's only holding. The figure cannot be combined for more than one fund because the standard deviation for a portfolio of multiple funds is a function of not only the individual standard deviations, but also of the degree of correlation among the funds' returns. If a fund's returns follow a normal distribution, then approximately 68 percent of the time they will fall within one standard deviation of the mean return for the fund, and 95 percent of the time within two standard deviations. Morningstar computes standard deviation using the trailing monthly total returns for the appropriate time period. All of the monthly standard deviations are then annualized.

7 Additional Research, Expense Information, and Performance History (continued) 4. QTR, YTD, 10 Yr, and Inception Total Return Expressed in percentage terms, Morningstar's calculation of total return is determined each month by taking the change in monthly net asset value, reinvesting all income and capital-gains distributions during that month, and dividing by the starting NAV. Reinvestments are made using the actual reinvestment NAV, and daily payoffs are reinvested monthly. Unless otherwise noted, Morningstar does not adjust total returns for sales charges (such as front-end loads, deferred loads and redemption fees), preferring to give a clearer picture of a fund's performance. The total returns do account for management, administrative, 12b-1 fees and other costs taken out of fund assets. Total returns for periods longer than one year are expressed in terms of compounded average annual returns (also known as geometric total returns), affording a more meaningful picture of fund performance than non-annualized figures. 5. Prospectus Gross Expense Ratio Gross Expense Ratio represents the total gross expenses (net expenses with waivers added back in) divided by the fund's average net assets. If it is not equal to the net expense ratio, the gross expense ratio portrays the fund's expenses had the fund not waived a portion, or all, of its fees. Thus, to some degree, it is an indication of fee contracts. Some fee waivers have an expiration date; other waivers are in place indefinitely. 6. Redemption Fees The redemption fee is an amount charged when money is withdrawn from the fund. This fee does not go back into the pockets of the fund company, but rather into the fund itself and thus does not represent a net cost to shareholders. Also, unlike contingent deferred sales charges, redemption fees typically operate only in short, specific time clauses, commonly 30, 180, or 365 days. However, some redemption fees exist for up to five years. Charges are not imposed after the stated time has passed. These fees are typically imposed to discourage market timers, whose quick movements into and out of funds can be disruptive. The charge is normally imposed on the ending share value, appreciated or depreciated from the original value. 7. Load The initial, or front-end, sales charge is a one-time deduction from an investment made into the fund. The amount is generally relative to the amount of the investment, so that larger investments incur smaller rates of charge. The sales charge serves as a commission for the broker who sold the fund. A fund's potential fees and sales charges are an important factor to consider before making an investment. The load fee compensates the broker or financial planner for the service of providing professional investment advice b-1 Fee Maximum annual charge deducted from fund assets to pay for distribution and marketing costs. Although usually set on a percentage basis, this amount will occasionally be a flat figure. This information is taken directly from the fund's prospectus, and includes distribution, service and other expenses incurred by the fund. Morningstar lists the maximum amount. Some 12b-1 fees are something of a hidden charge, because they are taken out of the NAV. Morningstar breaks the 12b-1 amount out of the expense ratio so investors know how much they are paying. 9. Calendar Year and Inception Date Returns Total returns calculated on a calendar-year and inception date basis. The annual return for a fund will be the same as its trailing 12-month total return, only at year-end. * Morningstar uses a broad asset class index to calculate R 2, not the Benchmark Index noted in your Fund Profile or Flash Report.
