4 Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise and are subject to credit risk, which refers to the possibility that the debt issuers may not be able to make principal and interest payments or may have their debt downgraded by ratings agencies. High yield securities may be more volatile, be subject to greater levels of credit or default risk, and may be less liquid and more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price to value than higher-rated securities of similar maturity. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, international investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Investing in alternative strategies such as a long/short strategy, presents the opportunity for losses which exceed the principal amount invested.

7 1 Central Banks Diverge: Dollar Likely Higher We expect tightening financial conditions in the U.S. and U.K. Lackluster growth and low inflation expectations support looser monetary policy elsewhere.

9 2 Long-Term Rates: Still Low for Long Long-term interest rates may inch up this year, but expect them to be low for some time to come.

10 3 U.S. Economy Leads the Pack We believe the U.S. economy will show gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the area of 2.5% to 3% in The biggest challenge facing the U.S. economy is what transpires overseas.

14 1 Prefer Stocks Over Bonds, But Be Choosy Valuations range from sky-high (government bonds) to average (most credit and developed equities).

19 4 Resist the Urge to Exit It s important to hold some cash, but too much can set you back. Cash comes with a cost after inflation and taxes. Compound Returns of Cash After Inflation and Taxes ( ) Return (%) Stocks After Inflation After Taxes Bonds After Inflation After Taxes Cash After Inflation -0.8 After Taxes Sources: BlackRock; Morningstar; Tax Foundation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Assumes reinvestment of income and no transaction costs. This is for illustrative purposes only and not indicative of any investment. Federal income tax is calculated using the historical marginal and capital gains tax rates for a single taxpayer earning $110,000 in 2012 dollars every year. This annual income is adjusted using the Consumer Price Index in order to obtain the corresponding income level for each year. Income is taxed at the appropriate federal income tax rate as it occurs. For the period covered ( ), the high capital gains tax rate was 28% and the low was 3%. The high ordinary income tax rate was 55% and the low was 3%. No state income taxes are included. Stocks are represented by the S&P 500 Index. Bonds are represented by the Morningstar/Ibbotson Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index. Cash is represented by the Morningstar/Ibbotson 30-Day U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Inflation is represented by the Consumer Price Index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. 18
