Three reasons to consider the GS Wealthbuilder Multi-Asset Portfolios 1 Global Access to a wide range of investment opportunities across the globe. Selecting and sizing asset classes are key considerations when looking to achieve your investment goals. The Goldman Sachs Wealthbuilder Multi- Asset Portfolios can invest across all asset classes in order to effectively spread risk across different sources of return. The team has access to the broad GSAM investment platform which includes asset classes beyond traditional equities and bonds. 2 Dynamic Ability to navigate changing markets. Markets don t stand still. Having the resources to successfully capture opportunities and identify near-term risks is crucial in the management of any portfolio. We believe our nimble approach to investing provides us with the flexibility to account for changing market conditions. 3 Risk Managed Focused on delivering long-term returns. Taking risk is necessary to generate returns; we seek to identify, understand and size risk appropriately. We consider the potential losses associated with every investment we make, since an investor who loses 50% of their holdings requires a 100% gain just to get back to the initial amount invested. Financial investments carry a market risk. The value of assets in the portfolio is typically dictated by a number of factors, including the confidence levels of the market in which they are traded. 6 4 Whilst the name of the team responsible for fiduciary management at GSAM has changed over the course of the past several years, any historical references to this group of investment professionals who offer this service at GSAM is presented under the name of Global Portfolio Solutions. 5 Data as of March 2015.

1. Strategic Asset Allocation. The investment process starts with selecting and sizing asset classes. The main aim of this stage is to spread risk among multiple sources of potential return ( Diversification ) and combine investments. 6 2. Tactical Asset Allocation. Market cycles drive materially different returns across asset classes. In 2014, Real Estate returned 22%, while US High Yield Bonds returned 2%. 7 As the market environment changes, the portfolio management team nimbly adjusts the portfolios holdings to capture shorter-term market opportunities across asset classes. 3. Security Selection. Once the asset allocation has been decided, the GSAM asset class specialists select which securities to invest in. Based in 33 locations around the world, the teams have the benefit of local presence to conduct research and gain local insights. 11
