Νοσεδιϖε Υ.Σ. ΕΘΥΙΤΨ Λαυρεν Ματηιασ, ΧΦΑ The irst negative quarter for U.S. equities since 2012 had a seemingly solid start, but took a nosedive through August and September. Macroeconomic issues drove the sullen results, including China s weakening economy, the Fed s delay of inter est rate increases, and commodity price declines. The U.S. econ omy is exhibiting some vigor consumer conidence remained high and fueled spending; employment showed strength with record-low jobless claims; and housing appeared solid with new home sales at healthy levels.

Fears about China s slowdown came to a head in August when Chinese monetary authorities unexpectedly devalued the renminbi. Attempts to dampen the ensuing volatility were not enough to prevent knock-on effects spreading throughout the world. The pain was felt by both developed (ΜΣΧΙ Wορλδ εξ ΥΣΑ Ινδεξ: %) and emerging markets (ΜΣΧΙ Εmεργινγ Βροαδ Μαρκετ Θυαρτερλψ Ρετυρνσ -7.25% % U.S. Fixed (Barclays Aggregate) Non-U.S. Fixed (Citi Non-U.S.) Cash (90-Day T-Bills) U.S. Equity (Russell 3000) Non-U.S. Equity (MSCI ACWI ex USA) 1.23% 1.71% 0.01% Sources: Barclays, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, MSCI, Russell Investment Group Α Λιττλε Λονγερ το Λιφτοφφ Υ.Σ.

The strong U.S. dollar challenged domestic compa nies ability to grow, negatively affecting earnings and expec tations going forward. Volatility of stocks, as measured by the daily VIX, peaked for the year in August and remained elevated throughout the quarter. At the same time, stock cor relations also increased to almost two times their long-term average, making it more challenging for active management to navigate the decline. Asset lows continued to show a pref erence for passive, which remains a sizable portion of U.S. equity assets under management. 0% -10% -20% -30% -40% -0.30% -0.80% -4.78% Utilities Consumer Staples Source: Russell Investment Group % % Materials % % Energy Large and small cap stocks showed strong divergence in returns (Ρυσσελλ 2000 Ινδεξ: % and Ρυσσελλ 1000 Ινδεξ: -6.83%) while mid cap fell in between (Ρυσσελλ Μιδ Χαπ Ινδεξ: -8.01%).

Micro caps fared the worst (Ρυσσελλ Μιχροχαπ Ινδεξ: %). Underlying sector results varied and dictated which style ended up on top large cap Materials and Energy sectors declined, and both small and large cap Health Care trailed. The magni tude of Health Care underperformance was stronger in small cap due to biotechnology, resulting in small cap growth trailing value; the opposite was true in large cap. In general, defensive areas of the market held up as investors shifted to a risk-off mentality. Commodity price declines and slow global growth were major factors behind Materials and Energy results. As is typical in high-volatility periods, large cap outperformed small and high quality beat low. The U.S. equity market experienced an incredibly dificult quar ter, but a few positive glimmers shone through: second-quarter GDP was revised up to 3.9%, consumer spending increased, Ρολλινγ Ονε Ψεαρ Ρελατιϖε Ρετυρνσ (vs. Russell 1000) 30% 20% 10% 0% -10% -20% Russell 1000 Growth Russell 1000 Value Russell % Source: Russell Investment Group and unemployment was at its lowest level since Though active management struggled versus the benchmarks, year-todate results are favorable.

Small cap stocks rode the wave of vola tility better than large cap due to less exposure to Energy, but were still deep in the red (ΜΣΧΙ ΑΧWΙ εξ ΥΣΑ Σmαλλ Χαπ Ινδεξ: %). In developed countries defensive sectors fared best, with Consumer Staples (-1.49%), Utilities (-4.23%), and Health Care (-5.26%) providing the most protection. Materials (-19.67%) and Energy (-16.83%), bludgeoned by falling commodity prices, were the worst performers. European stocks regressed (ΜΣΧΙ Ευροπε Ινδεξ: -8.69%) as hand wringing over a possible Grexit abated only to be replaced by turmoil in China. Denmark (-2.41%) did best, due primarily to strong domestic performance from Consumer Discretionary (+8.54%). Nearby Norway was crippled by fall ing oil prices and posted the largest loss (-19.13%). European sectors mirrored the story in the rest of the developed world, with Energy and Materials (-15.80% and %, respec tively) suffering the biggest losses. Southeast Asia and the Paciic (MSCI Paciic Index ex Japan: %) trailed Europe and rest of the world. Singapore (-19.48%), Australia (-15.33%), and Hong Kong (-15.33%) felt the full force of China s volatility. Australian Energy irms were hit hard by falling oil prices and sagging demand in China. Japan s economy shrunk by 1.2% on an annualized basis in the second quarter and inlation remained well below the Bank of Japan s two percent target (MSCI Japan: %).

MSCI Europe MSCI World ex USA Emerging markets were hit hardest in this broad downturn, with the ΜΣΧΙ Εmεργινγ Μαρκετ Ινδεξ dropping 17.78%. China was the main story for much of the quarter after a sur prise devaluation of the renminbi in August sparked fears that the slowdown in growth was worse than expected. China s central bank tried to curb the ensuing market turbulence by cutting interest rates, but met limited success. Only the Telecomm (-9.20%) sector avoided double-digit losses; Energy (-31.19%), Materials (-27.11%), and Financials (-26.92%) all lost more than a quarter of their value. The ripple effects were felt throughout Asia: Indonesia (-24.19%), Malaysia (-18.23%), and Thailand (-17.51%) all declined sharply. A strong devalu ation of local currencies contributed to the general slowdown, as the Malaysian ringgit and Indonesian rupiah both fell to their lowest levels versus the dollar in more than 15 years. Emerging countries outside of Asia were also affected by the strengthen ing U.S. dollar and falling commodity prices. Brazilian equities lost over 30% (ΜΣΧΙ Βραζιλ: %) amid a corruption scan dal involving the state-run energy company Petrobras, a 22% devaluation of the real, and a downgrade of the country s credit rating to below investment grade by Standard & Poor s.

Inlation nevertheless remained below the Fed s two percent target. While many market participants previously pointed to the Fed s September meeting as a likely date for interest rate hikes, the Fed once again pegged the federal funds and discount rates at 0.00% 0.25% and 0.75%, respectively. The Fed cited global economic and inancial developments as a concern. The Fed mentioned, and Chair ellen reiterated in a subsequent speech, that market-based measures of inlation expectations had declined. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield decreased 32 bps. ields on longer-term bonds decreased by a similar amount. The market s expectation for the irst hike in the fed funds rate was pushed back to March The breakeven inlation rate (the differ ence between nominal and real yields) on the 10-year Treasury decreased signiicantly (47 bps) to 1.43%, as Treasury Inlation- Protected Securities underperformed nominal Treasuries. Non-Treasury sectors broadly underperformed like-dura tion Treasuries. Credit was among the worst as Financials, Industrials, and Utilities lagged by 0.30%, 2.14%, and 1.01% respectively. Within Industrials, Energy and Metals & Mining companies were hit hardest, trailing like-duration Treasuries by 4.97% and 9.45% respectively. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (-0.22%) and Commercial MBS (-0.05%) also struggled. Asset-backed securities were the lone outperformer, beating like-duration Treasuries by 0.16%.

15 Total Fund Total Fund vs Target Risk Analysis Risk Analysis The graphs below analyze the performance and risk of the fund relative to the appropriate target mix. This relative performance is compared to a peer group of funds wherein each member fund is measured against its own target mix. The first scatter chart illustrates the relationship, called Excess Return Ratio, between excess return and tracking error relative to the target. The second scatter chart displays the relationship, sometimes called Information Ratio, between alpha (market-risk or "beta" adjusted return) and residual risk (non-market or "unsystematic" risk).

16 Quarterly Total Fund Relative Attribution - September 30, 2015 The following analysis approaches Total Fund Attribution from the perspective of relative return. Relative return attribution separates and quantifies the sources of total fund excess return relative to its target. This excess return is separated into two relative attribution effects: Asset Allocation Effect and Manager Selection Effect. The Asset Allocation Effect represents the excess return due to the actual total fund asset allocation differing from the target asset allocation. Manager Selection Effect represents the total fund impact of the individual managers excess returns relative to their benchmarks.

Here are ive ways to keep your cool when asset allocation conversations heat up: 1 Εmπηασιζε θυαλιτψ ιν mαναγερ σελεχτιον. Hire managers to be long-term partners and try to minimize turnover. Determine your access to irst- and second-quartile alternatives managers and also your resources to source those managers. When thinking about management fees, look at the big picture. What is the long-term goal? What does it cost to get there? What are the risks? 2 Manage resources eficiently and effectively. Think long-term across the entire program, including stafing. Hire people who understand managers and manager selection. Look for people who are not only investment-savvy, knowledgeable, and experienced, but also those who it with the culture and who buy into the investment process. Low staff turnover is correlated with higher returns. If you are considering a boost to your alternatives allocation, do you have the appropriate legal and accounting staff to handle the additional work? Is your custodian able to handle alternatives? Successful organizations take a long-term view. They think about current spending needs versus future spending goals. Decide if you are going to spend more on the current generation at the expense of future generations, or if you will spend less on the current generation to beneit future generations.
