1 Tax-Planning Information For Financial Professional Use Only. Not for Public Distribution. Morningstar Investment Management LLC Morningstar Vision2020 Wealth Management Strategies Year-End Capital Gain Distribution Estimates Affected Portfolios Global Growth Growth & Income Moderate Balanced Income Tax-Sensitive Moderate Tax-Sensitive Balanced Tax-Sensitive Income It is about that time of year when mutual funds make their year-end distributions. To briefly review, mutual funds pass all income and net realized capital gains to shareholders each year through income and capital-gains distributions. Income and short-term capital gains are taxed at the ordinary income tax rate, while taxes on long term capital gains and qualified dividends are capped at 20% for most tax payers. These distributions are made to whoever owns shares on the specified record date (usually in December), regardless of how long they ve been held. The underlying funds owned in the Morningstar Vision2020 Wealth Management Strategy portfolios have published estimates of their anticipated year-end capital-gains distributions. This enables us to prepare an aggregate estimate of capital-gains distributions for each of the Morningstar Vision2020 portfolios. Investors can take action to offset some of these estimated capital gains by realizing losses (before year-end) in other investments they own that may be in loss territory. Therefore, to assist investors in tax-planning, we are providing estimates of the anticipated capital-gains distributions for each Vision2020 portfolio in the tables below. The tables summarize the percentage of each portfolio s assets that is estimated to be distributed as realized capital gains, as well as an estimated dollar amount based on a hypothetical $100,000 portfolio. To estimate a portfolio s distribution, we start by assuming a portfolio size of $100,000. From there, we calculate each underlying fund holding s value and share count based on the assumed $100,000 portfolio value. To help investors gauge the tax impact more precisely, we break out the percentage of distributions represented by long-term capital gains (taxed at 20%) and the percentage represented by short-term capital gains (taxed as income, for which the top rate is 39.6%). For example, if a portfolio were slated to receive a $2,500 distribution made up of 85% in long-term gains and 15% in short-term gains, one could ballpark the potential tax bill for a client in the 39.6% income-tax bracket as follows: ($2,500 x 0.85 x.20) + ($2,500 x 0.15 x 0.396) = $

2 Page 2 of 11 Please note that many of the underlying funds will also make year-end distributions of dividend and interest income. Income distributions are NOT included in the table figures. One reason is that only a subset of the underlying funds provides estimates for income distributions. Perhaps more importantly, investors cannot offset income distributions as they can with capital gains, so it is not actionable information in that regard. In any event, please be aware that the combined capital-gains/income distributions will be larger than the gains-only figures we provide in the tables. And of course these estimates are merely estimates, based on preliminary estimates from the fund companies themselves. The final distributions will almost certainly differ, but we believe the estimates represent reasonable expectations for portfolio tax-management purposes.
