1 FIRST COMMAND FINANCIAL BEHAVIORS INDEX Third Quarter 2015 FIRST COMMAND FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. with SENTIENT DECISION SCIENCE, INC
2 POSITIVE TRENDING ON THE FINANCIAL BEHAIVORS INDEX SUSTAINED THROUGH THIRD QUARTER 2015 BY COMMITMENT TO SAVING AND DEBT REPAYMENT AMONG MILITARY FAMILIES. The Behaviors Index continues to rise among military families ( in Q215 to 158 in Q315). This increase is attributed to increases in the Behaviors and Intentions sub-indices this quarter (Behaviors: in Q215 to 177 in Q315; Intentions:146 in Q215 to 154 in Q315). The increase in the behaviors sub-index can be attributed to the median amounts deposited to savings and debt repayment growing from quarter to quarter. As seen in prior quarters, those with a financial planner are significantly more likely to make deposits to short-term, long-term, and retirement savings in Q315 than those without a financial planner (STS: 79% vs. 55%, LTS: 73% vs. 39%, Retirement: 78% vs. 56%). Additionally, those with a financial planner contribute $-$300 more in both long-term savings and retirement savings. Conversely, those without a are paying greater amounts towards their debt than those with a. % Taking Action and Median Contribution Advisor No Advisor Action $$ Action $$ Short-Term Savings 79% % 500 Long-Term Savings 73% % 200 Retirement 78% % 400 Short-Term Debt Paid 78% % 750 Long-Term Debt Paid 75% % 0 About half of military families do not anticipate changes in their savings or debt repayment behaviors in the upcoming months. However, families who use financial planners are more likely to indicate plans to increase their savings and debt repayments than those without a financial planner (Increase savings: 49% vs. 34%; Increase Debt Payments: 43% vs. 24%, respectively) FINANCIAL BEHAVIORS INDEX Q2 14 Q3 14 Q4 14 Q1 15 Q2 15 Q FINANCIAL SUB INDICES Q214 Q314 Q414 Q115 Q215 Q315 Total With a financial plan Without a financial plan Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Intentions Behaviors Attitudes
3 Those with a financial planner are also more likely to increase the amount of life insurance they carry when compared to those without a financial planner (35% vs. 16%, respectively). In Q315 the top financial concerns among military families are the state of the economy and the ability to retire comfortably. Those without a financial planner are more likely to be concerned about the state of the economy, their ability to retire comfortably, the cost of everyday goods, personal debt, and their ability to send kids to college, than those with a financial planner. Top financial concerns in Q315 include: With Without The state of the economy 33% 44% Ability to retire comfortably 31% 48% Cost of health insurance 31% 25% Cost of everyday goods 30% 41% Personal debt 29% 37% Cost of gas 28% 28% The stock market 27% 22% Ability to send kids to college 26% 41% Ability to cover medical expenses 25% 21% Ability to buy a home 22% 22% Military families implement a variety of practical cutbacks to address their economic concerns in Q315, including cooking at home more often and increased couponing.

The Behaviors Index survey shows that on average 74% of military households indicate feeling extremely/somewhat anxious about cuts to defense spending. The top concern among military families remains reduction in annual pay increases (33% on average) followed by healthcare and retirement benefits. This corresponds to basic pay ranking first again this quarter as the top military benefit, followed by retirement pay, healthcare benefits and education. Military families are split on how changes to retirement might impact their time of service (49% say no impact; 31% serve longer). In Q315 most military families continue to indicate that they are taking action to prepare for cuts in defense spending (86% vs. 47% of general population families taking some action to prepare sequestration). Despite these cautionary steps, military families approve of the government in general (45% approve of the way Congress is doing its job, vs. 7% of general population families). The majority have confidence that Congress will avoid a government shutdown this year (61% vs. 30% of general population families). confidence among military families is unchanged from Q215.

Military families remain committed to their efforts to increase savings and decrease spending. As reflected in previous quarters, families with a financial planner have a particularly positive outlook.

The Index, launched in February 2008, was created by First Command Services, Inc., and Sentient Decision Science, an independent market research and consulting firm, was commissioned by First Command to compile the Behaviors Index. The research is based on a monthly survey of approximately 530 U.S. consumers, ages 25 to 70 with annual household incomes of at least $50,000. Survey respondents are asked questions related to three separate measures: Behaviors: How much money did you put into savings and investments last month? (Dollar amounts) Short-term (savings accounts, CDs, liquid money market funds) Long-term (stocks, mutual funds, bonds, college savings 529 plan) Retirement (401k, 403b, Simple IRA, Personal IRA accounts, TSPs) How much did you pay on your short-term and long-term debt last month? Short-term (car loans, credit card debt, etc.) Long-term (mortgages, student loans, home equity loans/lines, etc.) Intentions: Will you increase or decrease the amount you put into savings and investments next month? Will you increase or decrease the amount you pay on your debt next month? Will you increase or decrease the amount of debt you carry next month? Attitudes: How financially secure do you feel month to month? How would you rate your confidence that your financial situation will improve in the next year? How confident do you feel about your ability to retire comfortably? How financially stretched do you feel month to month? The margin of error for a survey based on 530 interviews is +/-4.3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence. The method for calculating the First Command Behaviors Index may be subject to change depending on data tracking history and correlations with movements in the U.S. economy. For more information about the Index and the monthly survey, please contact Mark Leach at First Command Services.
