1 Primerica: The Total Package Your One-Stop Financial Services supermarket with home delivery

2 You re Busy and Your Time Is Limited The Past Fifty years ago, we lived, worked and shopped in a more compartmentalized society. We went to the butcher to buy our meats, to the mechanic for our car maintenance, to the clothing store or tailor for our clothes. The day was filled with errands, and we moved at a slower pace. For most families, the husband worked outside of the home, and the wife stayed home. The Present Today we live in a busier, fast-paced society the age of mega-stores and one-stop shops. You can get your clothes, car service and groceries all in one place. We live in the age of the one-stop shopping experience. Often, both husband and wife work outside the home we re busier than ever. In the age of one-stop shopping, did you know you can do the same thing when it comes to your financial life? Primerica is a different kind of company for a different kind of family. We re a one-stop financial services supermarket with home delivery that serves Main Street families. We know you re busy and your time is limited. The rest of the financial services industry is behind the times they expect you to have multiple relationships to handle your insurance, investment and debt needs. What if there were a company that could help you with nearly every aspect of your financial life income protection, retirement, debt solutions and you didn t even have to leave your home? Primerica is that company.

8 Investments & Savings Mutual Funds Mutual funds are one of the most effective long-term savings vehicles. Mutual funds are a great way to become an owner, not a loaner. They give average families the advantage of investing in the economy with the opportunity to minimize risk with professional management and diversification.* There s no doubt that there is some risk after all, you re buying a little piece of the economy, and the economy is influenced by many factors. But, as you ve learned here, in exchange for that risk, you have the potential for a rate of return that few other investments offer. Primerica s Mutual Fund Partners: AllianceBernstein American Century Investments American Funds Invesco Fidelity Advisor Funds Franklin Templeton Investments Legg Mason MFS Investment Management OppenheimerFunds Pioneer Investments Putnam Investments Mutual funds are actively managed portfolios and incur advisory fees and internal management costs. The value of a fund fluctuates and, when redeemed, may be less than the original value. Read the mutual fund s prospectuses to determine how a fund may invest and to determine its current holdings. Investments in mutual funds involve risk and do not assure a profit. * Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss.

9 Managed Accounts A managed account is an investment program that offers an actively managed portfolio comprised of securities selected by investment professionals. Managed accounts may provide you with the peace of mind that comes with a professionally managed investment. Primerica Advisors Freedom Portfolios are designed to provide you with a single diversified portfolio of high quality mutual funds across multiple fund families.

Debt Stacking Retail Card 1 $220 +$220 Target Account Credit Card 2 $353 Credit Card 2 $573 +$573 Extra Debt Payment Amount As each debt is paid off, you apply the amount you were paying to that debt to the payment that you were making on the next target account. Car Loan $551 Car Loan $551 Car Loan $1,124 +$1,124 Credit Card 1 $303 Credit Card 1 $303 Credit Card 1 $303 Credit Card 1 $1,427 +$1,427 Mortgage $1,293 Mortgage $1,293 Mortgage $1,293 Mortgage $1,293 Mortgage $2,720 Total $2,720 Total $2,720 Total $2,720 Total $2,720 Total $2,720 Payoff Interest Saved Interest Paid Monthly Payments Without Debt Stacking 23 years $0 $214,442 $2,720 With Debt Stacking 9 years 14 years sooner $130,643 $83,799 $2,720 Once debts are paid off, invest $2,720 each month until age 67 the total, given a 9% return, is $2.4 million. * The examples are for illustrative purposes only. The Debt Stacking concept assumes that: (1) you make consistent payments on all of your debts, (2) when you pay off the first debt in your plan, you add the payment you were making toward that debt to your existing payment on the next debt in your plan (therefore you make the same total monthly payment each month toward your debts) (3) you continue this process until you have eliminated all of the debts in your plan. In the example above, when the retail card is paid off, the $220 is applied to credit card 2, accelerating its payment to $573. After credit card 2 is paid off, the $573 is applied to the car loan for a total payment of $1,124. The process is then continued until all debts are paid off. Note that the total payment per month remains constant. * The hypothetical assumes a constant nominal 9% rate of return compounded monthly, unlike actual investments, which will fluctuate in value, and does not include taxes or fees, which would reduce returns. Investing begins once debts have been paid off (at age 44).
