11 Correlation Matters Commodities and small US stock had a similar 38-year return but blending commodities with large US stock was far more beneficial because commodities has a lower correlation to large US stock (-0.28) than does small US stock (0.74). $1,000,000 Growth of $10, $900,000 $800,000 $700,000 $600, Year Returns: S&P % Small US 11.74% GSCI 12.02% Correlation: S&P 500/Small US = 0.74 S&P 500/Commodities = $500,000 $400,000 $300,000 $200,000 $100,000 $0 S&P % S&P 500/50% Small US 50% S&P 500/50% GSCI 11

23 Minimizing frequency of loss and size of portfolio loss while generating robust performance are distinct benefits of low correlation portfolios provided provided that each asset is assigned a meaningful allocation. Recovering from large losses is more difficult in distribution portfolios-- --when money is being systematically withdrawn. 23

Using cash flows to accomplish rebalance increases tax efficiency. 2) No reliance upon tactical skill or timing. 3) Represents the core module of any portfolio pre or post retirement. Examples: 80% 7Twelve, 20% individual stocks 60% 7Twelve, 20% TIPS, 20% cash 50% 7Twelve, 30% fixed annuity, 20% cash 4) Can be built using actively managed funds, passively managed index funds, ETFs, ETNs, or CTFs (collective trust funds). 5) Sets upper and lower boundaries for number of portfolio holdings: (7 asset classes employing 12 underlying funds) 40
