1 Asset Allocation: A Strategy for Life
2 Today s Agenda Why asset allocation can be important Tools for asset allocation Determining your asset allocation Fine-tuning your strategy
3 Why Is Asset Allocation Important? Can help you pursue your investment goals Allows you to potentially maximize returns while helping to minimize risk Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
4 The Power of Asset Allocation About 90% of the variability in a portfolio s long-term returns may depend on its asset allocation.1 1 Source: Gary P. Brinson, et al. Determinants of Portfolio Performance, Financial Analysts Journal, May/June 1991.
5 There Are Three Major Asset Classes High Risk/Return Potential Stocks Bonds Low Money Market Instruments Stock investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Bonds are subject to market and interest rate risk if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline as interest rates rise and are subject to availability and change in price.
6 A Closer Look at Risk and Return Risk and Return Over 30 Years Ended December 31, 2016 Sources: DST Systems, Inc.; the Federal Reserve. Stocks represented by the S&P 500 Index. Bonds represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Cash represented by a composite of yields on 3-month Treasury bills and the Bloomberg Barclays 3-Month Treasury Bills Index. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Indexes are unmanaged; it is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index performance does not reflect the effects of investing costs and taxes. Actual results would vary from benchmarks and would likely have been lower. 2017, DST Systems, Inc.

7 Mutual Funds Pool investors money Make specific choices for you Involve careful consideration Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than the original cost Investing in mutual funds involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Investments in specialized industry sectors have additional risks, which are outlined in the prospectus.

16 Manage Risk Stock Portfolio Asset Allocation Portfolio Sample goals: retirement and college planning Cash Average 12-month return (30 years): 10.16% Risk level: 15.01% Average 12-month return (30 years): 8.63% Risk level: 9.19% Source: DST Systems, Inc. The mixed portfolio is comprised of 60% stocks, 30% bonds, and 10% cash. Stocks are represented by the S&P 500 Index, bonds by Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and cash by a composite of yields on 3-month Treasury bills and the Bloomberg Barclays 3Month Treasury Bills Index. For the 30-year period ended December 31, Risk is measured using standard deviation, which indicates how likely an investment is to fluctuate widely in value, given its historic performance. Indexes are unmanaged. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. Index performance does not reflect the effects of investing costs and taxes. Actual results would vary from benchmarks and would likely have been lower. 2017, DST Systems, Inc. Reproduction in whole or in part prohibited, except by permission. All rights reserved. Not responsible for any errors or omissions. Past performance cannot guarantee future results. Asset allocation does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. These examples are hypothetical and used for illustrative purposes only. (CS000131)
