Madison Investment Advisors LLC Intermediate Fixed Income SELECT ROSTER Firm Information: Location: Year Founded: Total Employees: Assets ($mil): Accounts: Key Personnel: Matt Hayner, CFA Vice President Jay Sekelsky, CFA Executive Director Rich Eisinger, JD Managing Director Paul Lefurgey, CFA Managing Director Randy Johnson, CFA Vice President Portfolio Characteristics Avg Maturity: Avg Duration: YTM: Coupon Rate: Firm 15,823 21,53 Madison, WI 3.14 2.94 1.53 -- 1973 76 Product 3,991 7,815 Overview Madison Investment Advisors LLC (Madison) was founded in December 1973 as an independent investment management organization. The firm's main office is located in Madison, WI, with its insurance company asset management affiliate located in Scottsdale, AZ. Madison Investment Advisors is employee-controlled and independent. As Madison's goal has always been obtaining the best risk-adjusted return, the firm focuses on the shorter end of the yield curve. Process Madison's investment process is founded on the belief that it is possible to outperform the market over a market cycle with less risk and portfolio volatility using detailed investment guidelines, a sound investment process, good people, and by maintaining convictions. The firm's overall goal is to perform consistently well in up markets while preserving capital in down markets relative to the fixed income market. Madison employs a proprietary fixed income model to analyze bond market catalysts such as sentiment, value/inflation, supply/demand, liquidity, monetary changes, and credit to determine the firms' interest rate outlook and desired portfolio duration. In addition, using both historical and forecasted data, Madison attempts to determine the probability of individual sectors outperforming, as well as the appropriate quality level. The firm seeks to adjust corporate bond exposure depending on relative corporate vs. government bond attractiveness. During periods of declining interest rates (bullish bond markets), Madison tends to invest in intermediate bonds, seeking to capture the majority of returns. When interest rates rise, making the bond market riskier, the firm seeks to shorten the portfolio's duration and maturity structure by selling the intermediate bonds and purchasing short-term bonds. Factors that would trigger a sale include the following: (a) The overall duration of the portfolio needs to be reduced, (b) Madison elects to swap among sectors, (c) the issue becomes a weakening credit, or (d) a more attractive alternative becomes available. Madison typically constructs its Intermediate Fixed Income portfolio using U.S. government, agency and investment-grade corporate securities. Governments and agency holdings typically make up a minimum of % of the portfolio and up to 7% of the portfolio may be invested in investment-grade corporate securities. Single positions will typically not exceed 12% of the total portfolio. Turnover has historically averaged approximately -4% annually. There are no guarantees that these objectives will be met. Summary Madison is a risk-averse fixed income manager whose primary investment objective is to preserve capital while achieving solid, consistent performance over a complete market cycle. Madison will attempt to limit short-term volatility while outperforming the Barclays Capital Intermediate Government Corporate by seeking to construct a portfolio in the short-to-intermediate maturity range, typically utilizing government and investment-grade corporate bonds.

It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate (usually the 91-day US -TBill rate) from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the standard deviation of the portfolio returns. A higher Sharpe ratio suggests that the manager has achieved a higher return than would have been expected by the amount of risk (as measured by the standard deviation) incurred. : Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Page 2 of 5

This is the return per unit of risk, where risk is represented by the volatility (standard deviation) of quarterly returns. The return/risk ratio is calculated by dividing the before-fee total return over a given time period by the standard deviation over the same time period. A higher return/risk ratio indicates that a manager has achieved more return relative to the amount of risk (volatility) incurred.

A down market is one in which the index's quarterly return is less than zero. To calculate down-market capture ratio, we link returns for the manager and the market for all down-market quarters over the selected time frame, then divide the manager's return during down-market quarters by the index's return during the same quarters. To calculate up-market capture ratio, this same process is carried out using returns from periods when the index's return was greater than zero. The lower the manager's down-market capture ratio, the better the manager protected capital during a market decline. A value of 9 suggests that a manager's losses were only 9% of the market loss when the market was down. Caution: The up/down capture ratios can be deceiving if the nominal numbers involved are small. For example, if a manager's return during down-market periods was -3%, while the index's return during those same periods was -1%, the manager's down market capture ratio would be...28 Five Year Downside Risk: Measures of before-fee negative performance over the most recent 5 years.

Alpha.5 -.11.19 Relative Statistics 3 Yr 5 Yr Yr 3 Yr 5 Yr Yr R-Squared 98.65 88.13 9.42 Beta.71.92.86 Tracking Error Alpha - Incremental return generated versus an index after accounting for volatility in the form of beta. A positive alpha suggests risk-adjusted value added by the money manager versus the index. Beta measures the return that is attributable to the market and is a measure of the portfolio's overall volatility. Beta - Measures the risk level of the manager. Beta measures the systematic risk, or the return that is attributable to market movements. In contrast, alpha measures the nonsystematic return of the portfolio, and standard deviation measures the volatility of a portfolio's returns compared to the average return of the portfolio. A beta equal to one indicates a risk level equivalent to the market. Higher betas are associated with higher risk levels, while lower betas are associated with lower risk levels..85 1.17 1.6 R-Squared- A statistic that measures the reliability of alpha and beta in explaining the return of a manager as a linear function of the market. It is produced by regression analysis. If you are searching for a manager with a particular style, for example a growth manager, you would expect that manager to have an R-Squared that is high relative to a growth index if the manager has a diversified portfolio. If the manager's return is explained perfectly, the R-Squared would equal, while an R-Squared of would indicate that no relationship exists between the manager and the linear function. Higher R-Squared values indicate more reliable alpha and beta statistics and are useful in assessing a manager's investment style. Tracking Error - A measure of how similar the manager s behavior is to the benchmark. A lower tracking error indicates that the manager tracks its benchmark closely. A tracking error of zero would indicate that the manager tracked its benchmark perfectly. This would not necessarily indicate that the manager and index provided the exact same return, just that the direction and magnitude of their returns were perfectly correlated.

Glossary and Disclosures Select Roster: A diversified set of strategies that by asset class have earned our highest recommendation. The evaluation process for consideration of an investment strategy on the Select Roster is focused on both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Expanded Roster: A separate list of reviewed investment strategies. The evaluation process for consideration of an investment strategy on the Expanded Roster is less comprehensive and more quantitatively focused. Portfolio Characteristics: Characteristics that help identify the types of stocks or bonds a manager buys. Average Maturity: Computed by weighting the maturity of each security in the portfolio by the market value of the security, then averaging these weighted figures. Average Duration: A measure of interest-rate sensitivity--the longer the duration, the more sensitive a portfolio is to shifts in interest rates. Duration is determined by a formula that includes coupon rates and bond maturities. Yield-to-Maturity: The rate of interest an investor would have to earn if an investment equal to the price of the bond were capable of generating the semiannual coupon payments and the principal of the bond in exactly the time pattern promised by the issuer. Coupon: The fixed percentage paid out on a fixed-income security on an annual basis. Rolling Periods Analysis: A method of analysis where a quarterly return stream is grouped into rolling periods of a given length (three years, for example). Performance and/or risk statistics are calculated for the three-year period ending with a given quarter, then for the three-year period ending with the next quarter, and so on. This type of analysis helps minimize the arbitrary nature of focusing primarily on calendar years or trailing returns. Investing in fixed income securities: involves certain risks such as market risk if sold prior to maturity and credit risk especially if investing in high yield bonds, which have lower ratings and are subject to greater volatility. All fixed income investments may be worth less than original cost upon redemption or maturity. Bond prices fluctuate inversely to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a general rise in interest rates can result in a decline of the value of your investment. Bond ratings, issues by private independent ratings services, are a grade given to bonds which is designed to indicate the credit quality of the bond. Bonds rated Aaa through Baa3 by Moody s and AAA through BBB- by S&P, are typically considered to be investment grade. Investors should note that an investment grade rating does not insure the bond against default and does not guarantee the return of principal. Performance Disclosure: The performance information shown is based on performance data provided by the manager. The performance data provided by the manager is taken from its composite of similarly managed accounts. Performance figures include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Client performance may differ from the performance provided in this profile. There are no guarantees objectives will be met. The performance numbers in the "Net of Fees" section represent quarterly performance returns after the deduction of the maximum proposed management fee of 1.5% for the Fixed Income strategies.
