4 FundAdvisor Diversification Matters Broad market diversification is a key component of effective asset allocation. As the table below illustrates, predicting the top performing asset class each year can be a challenge. Strategic global diversification can position your portfolio to benefit from the top performing asset classes while minimizing the effect of those areas of underperformance. As shown below, the has witnessed consistent performance over the last decade.

Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. Performance shown represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The index returns reflect equities priced in U.S. dollars and do not include the effects of reinvested dividends. Investors cannot invest in these indices, and their returns are not indicative of the performance of any specific investment. Risk Considerations: Investing in securities carries risk including the possible loss of principal. Funds that invest in foreign securities may involve greater risks, including political and economic uncertainties, as well as risk of currency fluctuations. Small and mid cap company stocks may be more volatile than stocks of larger, more established companies. Investments in bonds and other fixed-income securities may fall in value if interest rates change. Generally, the prices of debt securities rise when interest rates fall, while their prices fall when interest rates rise. Longer-term debt securities are usually more sensitive to interest rate 2changes. An issuer suffering an adverse change in its financial condition could see the credit quality of its securities deteriorate, leading to greater price volatility of the security. Funds investing in lower-quality debt securities are more susceptible to these problems and their value may be more volatile.

5 Davenport Asset Management Discipline We believe discipline is the most difficult thing for investors to maintain. We designed FundAdvisor with that in mind. Helping you avoid emotional investing Emotional investing can lead to chasing performance buying what has already posted strong gains which can be detrimental to longterm returns because it is the opposite of buying low and selling high. FundAdvisor is managed using our proprietary selection and monitoring process a disciplined approach designed to remove the emotional component of investing and avoid chasing performance. The best funds are not always the best performers The FundAdvisor models are designed to maintain diversified asset allocation over the long term. However, we know that even the best fund managers will go through periods of underperformance. Therefore, our rigorous selection and monitoring process is designed to keep focus on our highest conviction managers, keeping us from giving up on them at the wrong time. Our investment discipline focuses on long-term results and minimizes the impact of short-term underperformance on manager selection. Rebalancing Each portfolio is rebalanced annually to ensure that it continues to reflect your risk profile, helping you stay focused on your long-term objectives. This annual rebalancing has proven to add value over time by reducing positions that recently outperformed and increasing positions we believe are poised for future outperformance. There are two kinds of forecasters: those who don t know, and those who DON T KNOW THEY DON T KNOW. John Kenneth Galbraith, Economist 3

6 FundAdvisor Asset Allocation Asset allocation is the primary determinant of an investment portfolio s risk profile and return potential. We utilize our proprietary asset allocation methodology to generate strategic portfolios based on our analysis of underlying asset classes. This discipline also incorporates flexibility adjustments to allocation are made according to changes in long-term global trends, market cycles and valuations. This process is designed to shift assets from overvalued, outperforming asset classes into areas of value and opportunity driving returns over time. Asset Class Progression ASSET CLASS UNIVERSE STOCKS VS. BONDS GEOGRAPHY: QUALITY DURATION GEOGRAPHY DOMESTIC VS. INTERNATIONAL SIZE: LARGE CAP MID CAP SMALL CAP RISK: DEVELOPED MARKETS EMERGING MARKETS CORPORATE GOVERNMENT SHORT TERM INTERM.

7 Davenport Asset Management Selection & Monitoring Four Levels of Analysis for Fund Selection We use a proprietary screening process to identify best-in-class fund managers that have outperformed peers and benchmarks over the long term while taking less risk. 1. Quantitative Analysis Have they had consistent performance? Assessing performance including absolute, risk and risk-adjusted returns over rolling periods relative to peers and benchmarks. Examining volatility and manager tenure. 2. Style Analysis Have they invested the way they say they have? Assessing style, including holdings-based and performance-based style analysis. This gives us a better sense for the source of historical returns and expected behavior of a fund. 3. Qualitative Analysis How do they do it? Evaluating a manager s process including philosophy, strategy, experience, research and discipline and identifying the key decision makers 4. Interviews & Evaluation Who s making the decisions? Interviewing managers and conducting due diligence. Also, evaluating existing literature, including the prospectus, statements of additional information and available reports. Monitoring We conduct quarterly due diligence on the fund managers in the FundAdvisor program by applying a set of rigorous quantitative and qualitative watch list screens. The goal of this quarterly monitoring process is to ensure that the managers continue to meet our strict criteria. If a fund manager consistently or egregiously violates one or more of the following criteria, a recommendation may be made to remove the fund from FundAdvisor: Underperformance on an absolute or risk-adjusted basis Changes in the fund manager s investment philosophy, strategy or objectives Changes in the fund manager s key personnel Regulatory or legal proceedings or investigations Style drift 5

8 FundAdvisor Strategic Models FundAdvisor offers five strategic models focused on relatively consistent long-term asset allocations. The strategic models are diversified through traditional asset classes, such as large cap, mid cap, small cap, international and emerging markets, short- and intermediate-term bonds, and cash. Allocations among asset classes are adjusted to reflect current market conditions. Expected Return > Equities Fixed Income & Equivalents BALANCED GROWTH CONSERVATIVE GROWTH MAXIMUM GROWTH CONSERVATIVE BALANCED Expected Risk > Maximum Growth Focused on equities, this model is designed to produce maximum long-term capital appreciation and is most appropriate for investors with an extremely high tolerance for risk and a long-term time horizon (10+ years).
