It starts with gathering information about you so that your strategy and investments reflect your values. It is dynamic and requires steady attention so that your strategy can change as your life changes. We focus on the broad aspects of your financial life, from wealth accumulation, preservation and intergenerational transfers, to philanthropic giving and legacy strategies.

OUR APPROACH TO Investing Your investments are the power behind your wealth management strategy. How we help you structure your portfolios and manage your investments depends, to a large extent, on your goals, time horizon, tolerance for risk, liquidity needs, current and future needs for income, and your tax situation. A DISCIPLINED METHOD We believe that managing risk is essential to portfolio management. Our focus is on helping you manage investment risk, in all its forms, in a manner designed to protect your wealth. Asset allocation how your investment capital is spread among different asset classes, industries and markets is one of the most important drivers of portfolio performance. Broad diversification, within and among asset classes, is a key to managing risk in your portfolio. We typically recommend distributing investment capital across multiple asset classes and subclasses. Various strategies, including alternative investments, can be used, when appropriate, to help reduce risk in your portfolio. The objective, in these cases, is to build in even broader diversification and a lower degree of correlation between asset classes. Once we determine how to apportion your investments among diversified asset classes, we strive to choose from among the best portfolio managers in the world to actively manage your allocations. Through periodic portfolio reviews, we carefully monitor their performance. We review your portfolio structure, using a variety of probability analysis tools. Essentially, these tests allow us to simulate possible investment returns under hundreds or even thousands of different market scenarios. PRIVATE WEALTH AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS 7

Haggerty SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT WEALTH MANAGEMENT PRIVATE WEALTH ADVISOR 412.566.6595 jennifer_haggerty@ml.com Investing involves risk. There is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities. Asset allocation and diversification do not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets. Alternative investments are intended for qualified and suitable investors only. Alternative Investments such as derivatives, hedge funds, private equity funds, and funds of funds can result in higher return potential but also higher loss potential. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect your investments. Before you invest in alternative investments, you should consider your overall financial situation, how much money you have to invest, your need for liquidity, and your tolerance for risk. Alternative Investments are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. International investing presents certain risks not associated with investing solely in the U.S. These include, for instance, risks related to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the value of other currencies, custody arrangements made for a fund s foreign holdings, political risks, differences in accounting procedures and the lesser degree of public information required to be provided by non-u.s. companies. Neither Merrill Lynch nor any of its affiliates or financial advisors provide legal, tax or accounting advice. You should consult your legal and/or tax advisors before making any financial decisions. All guarantees and benefits of an insurance policy are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. They are not backed by Merrill Lynch or its affiliates, nor do Merrill Lynch or its affiliates make any representations or guarantees regarding the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Probabilistic (Monte Carlo) modeling is a statistical modeling technique in which a set of future outcomes are forecasted based on the variability or randomness associated with historical occurrences. A probabilistic approach may be used to determine the likelihood that you may be able to achieve your stated goals and to identify a range of potential wealth outcomes that could be realized. It involves generating thousands of scenarios, each simulating the growth of assets over a specified period of time, taking into account a variety of factors, such as economic conditions, the allocation of assets, portfolio value, cash flow and market volatility. The analysis presented is not a guarantee, prediction or projection of any particular result and your actual results may vary materially. Rather, this analysis is directional in nature and can be used to help you evaluate how certain decisions or strategies may impact your ability to achieve your goals. Merrill Lynch Family Office Services are offered through Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ( Merrill Lynch ). In connection with its Family Office Services, Merrill Lynch is not acting in the capacity as a broker-dealer, nor as a registered investment adviser. Accordingly, through its Family Office Services, Merrill Lynch is not offering, and its clients are not paying for, advice with respect to securities, the purchase or sale of securities, or the valuation thereof, nor do Merrill Lynch s Family Office Services encompass financial planning, discretionary account management, or any other securities-related accounts, products or services. Merrill Lynch offers a broad array of brokerage and investment advisory accounts, products and services through other parts of its business outside of Family Office Services, which are subject to separate agreements, disclosures, and fee arrangements, and may be procured by applying or enrolling and contracting through those other business channels.
