INVESTMENT PROCESS PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION We use a variety of tools to tailor our investment process to your objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, tax situation and investment experience. Time is your friend; impulse is your enemy." John Bogle Founder, The Vanguard Group 32

INVESTMENT PROCESS We can build specific investments into your financial plan to help you achieve your financial goals. 33

INVESTMENT PROCESS RISK AND REWARD Expected Return Conservative Conservative Balanced Balanced Balanced with Emphasis on Growth Growth Aggressive Growth Global Equity Lower-Risk Portfolios Higher-Risk Portfolios Risk (Standard Deviation of Return) An efficient frontier represents every possible combination of assets that maximizes return at each level of portfolio risk and minimizes risk at each level of portfolio return. The above illustration depicts the typical relationship between risk and return. Generally, investors are expected to be compensated in returns for assuming higher levels of risk. 34 Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Standard deviation measures the fluctuation of returns around the arithmetic average return of the investment. The higher the standard deviation, the greater the variability (and the risk) of the investment returns.

INVESTMENT PROCESS ASSET CLASSES We employ a variety of asset classes to help balance risk.

DISCLOSURES Investing in small-cap stocks generally involves greater risks and, therefore, may not be appropriate for every investor. U.S. government bonds and Treasury bills are guaranteed by the U.S. government and, if held to maturity, offer a fixed rate of return and guaranteed principal value. U.S. government bonds are issued and guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by the federal government. Treasury bills are certificates reflecting short-term (less than one year) obligations of the U.S. government. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Standard deviation measures the fluctuation of returns around the arithmetic average return of investment. The higher the standard deviation, the greater the variability (and thus risk) of the investment returns. Holding stocks for the long-term does not insure a profitable outcome. Investing in stocks always involves risk, including the possibility of losing one s entire investment. There is an inverse relationship between interest rate movements and bond prices. Generally, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall and when interest rates fall, bond prices rise.

DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED) High-yield (below investment grade) bonds are not suitable for all investors. The risk of default may increase due to changes in the issuer s credit quality. Price changes may occur due to changes in interest rates and the liquidity of the bond. When appropriate, these bonds should only comprise a modest portion of your portfolio. Municipal bond interest is not subject to federal income tax but may be subject to AMT, state or local taxes. Income from taxable municipal bonds is subject to federal income taxation; and it may be subject to state and local taxes. Municipal securities typically provide a lower yield than comparably rated taxable investments in consideration of their tax-advantaged status. Investments in municipal securities may not be appropriate for all investors, particularly those who do not stand to benefit from the tax status of the investment. Please consult an income tax professional to assess the impact of holding such securities on your tax liability. Commodities trading is generally considered speculative because of the significant potential for investment loss. Commodities and precious metals are volatile investments and should only form a small part of a diversified portfolio. Their markets are likely to be volatile and there may be sharp price fluctuations even during periods when prices overall are rising.

DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED) Investing in small-cap stocks generally involves greater risks and, therefore, may not be appropriate for every investor. International investing involves special risks, including currency fluctuations, different financial accounting standards, and possible political and economic volatility. U.S. government bonds and Treasury bills are guaranteed by the U.S. government and, if held to maturity, offer a fixed rate of return and guaranteed principal value. U.S. government bonds are issued and guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by the federal government. Treasury bills are certificates reflecting short-term (less than one year) obligations of the U.S. government. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Holding stocks for the long-term does not insure a profitable outcome. Investing in stocks always involves risk, including the possibility of losing one's entire investment. Specific sector investing such as real estate can be subject to different and greater risks than more diversified investments. Declines in the value of real estate, economic conditions, property taxes, tax laws and interest rates all present potential risks to real estate investments.
