Fixed income asset classes with more exposure to lower grade credit and lower duration were favored. The 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield rose from 1.76% at year-end last year to.0% at the close of 201. Real assets produced mixed results as MLPs rallied on strong fundamentals, commodities declined (ex-energy) amid weaker fundamentals and macro concerns, and rising interest rates weighed on REITs. 2 4

The 10-year Treasury yield rose on the news and ended the year at its highest value, which negatively affected Treasuries and TIPS. High yield continued to perform well relative to other bond asset classes, and was the best performing fixed income asset class in 201. The U.S. dollar s movement was mixed against various global currencies, and hedged foreign bonds fared better than unhedged bonds. Emerging market debt continued to struggle, and was down 9.0% for the year. 7

Small cap growth stocks returned 4.% in 201, putting the asset class 7.8% ahead of its previous market peak in October The S&P 00 closed the year with a 1.4x forward P/E ratio, ahead of its 10-year average of 1.9x. All sectors of the S&P 00 made positive returns in Q4 and for the year. Consumer discretionary, heath care, and industrials all posted 40% or more gains in 201. Globally, 201 favored developed countries over emerging markets. Germany, the U.S., France, and Japan led the way.

15 Fourth Quarter 201 Knowledge College Has A Market High Ever Felt So Bad? 201 brought good and bad news for investors. Unfortunately, the good AND bad news were one and the same: diversification worked extremely well. The divergence in performance between asset classes was significant, meaning the pistons in the diversification engine did what they were supposed to do. However, U.S. equities dominated all other asset classes, including developed and emerging foreign equities, real assets, and global fixed income. The exhibit to the right shows three broadly diversified sample portfolios compared to the S&P 00 Index in 201. $1.40 $1. $1.0 $1.2 $1.20 $1.1 $1.10 $1.0 Broadly Diversified Portfolios vs. the S&P 00 $1.00 Dec-12 Jan-1 Feb-1 Mar-1 Apr-1 May-1 Jun-1 Jul-1 Aug-1 Sep-1 Oct-1 Nov-1 Dec-1 60% Fixed Income / 40% Equity & Real Assets 40% Fixed Income / 60% Equity & Real Assets 20% Fixed Income / 80% Equity & Real Assets 100% Large Cap U.S. Equity The fully invested Large Cap U.S. Equity portfolio is invested solely in the S&P 00. The allocations for the three sample diversified portfolios are shown on the following page. All portfolios were not rebalanced during the year. (+2.4%) (+1.%) (+8.8%) (+4.9%) The S&P 00 Index s total return of 2.4% in 201 was its best calendar year return since 1997 and its fourth best in the past 8 years. Only 1980, 199, and 1997 saw higher returns (placing 201 in the top decile of S&P 00 historical performance since 1976). The S&P 00 s performance was even more extraordinary when compared to virtually all other asset classes. The exhibit on the next page shows the S&P 00 s 201 outperformance relative to other asset classes and compares this year s results to previous calendar years. The results not only show strong absolute performance for domestic equities, but also a dominating year when compared to virtually all other asset classes. 1 1

The S&P 00 s 201 excess return compared to the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index was its highest level since the Aggregate index was created in was the last similar year of significant excess return for the S&P 00 versus many asset classes, including Emerging Markets, Commodities, Real Estate, High Yield Bonds, and Hedge Funds. The last time the S&P 00 dominated so significantly, we were in the midst of the technology stock boom of the late 1990 s, which led then-fed Chairman Alan Greenspan to utter his now famous irrational exuberance statement. In the late 1990 s, we successfully navigated our clients away from the very natural temptation to want to abandon diversification principles (in favor of an overly U.S. and equity-centric portfolio). Over the subsequent decade, the S&P 00 Index was cut in half twice (down 1% between and down 4% between ), and our typical client weathered the storm well because they remained diversified. As Mark Twain once said, History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme. The tune that s playing now sounds very familiar. 60% Fixed Income / 40% Equity & Real Assets: 7% TIPS, 22% Core Fixed Income, 17% Foreign Developed Bonds, 9% High Yield Bonds, % Emerging Markets Bonds, 7% Large Cap U.S. Equity, 2% Small Cap U.S. Equity, % International Developed Equity, % Emerging Markets Equity, 6% Real Estate, 8% MLPs, and 9% Commodities. 40% Fixed Income / 60% Equity & Real Assets: 6% TIPS, 9% Core Fixed Income, 11% Foreign Developed Bonds, 10% High Yield Bonds, 4% Emerging Markets Bonds, 12% Large Cap U.S. Equity, 4% Small Cap U.S. Equity, 11% International Developed Equity, 6% Emerging Markets Equity, 8% Real Estate, 8% MLPs, and 11% Commodities. 20% Fixed Income / 80% Equity & Real Assets: % TIPS, % Core Fixed Income, % Foreign Developed Bonds, 7% High Yield Bonds, 2% Emerging Markets Bonds, 17% Large Cap U.S. Equity, 6% Small Cap U.S. Equity, 18% International Developed Equity, 11% Emerging Markets Equity, 10% Real Estate, 8% MLPs, and 10% Commodities. 2 16

30 PIMCO Total Return Instl December 1, 201 FUND INFO Product Name : Fund Family : Ticker : Peer Group : Benchmark : PIMCO:Tot Rtn;Inst (PTTRX) PIMCO PTTRX IM U.S. Broad Market Core Fixed Income (MF) Barclays Aggregate Fund Inception : 0/11/1987 Portfolio Manager : William H. Gross Total Assets : $14,660 Million Total Assets Date : 11/0/201 Gross Expense : 0.46% Net Expense : 0.46% Turnover : 80% FUND OBJECTIVE PIMCO uses strategies intended to capitalize on the firm s top-down analysis and their bottom-up fundamental research. PIMCO s top down analysis combines their outlook on the global economy and interest rates with a shorter term scenario analysis on factors such as interest rate volatility, yield curve movements and credit trends. Once the larger themes are established, PIMCO s portfolio management team focuses on selecting high-quality fixed income securities through the use of proprietary fundamental and quantitative research. In addition to traditional strategies such as sector rotation and yield curve management, PIMCO uses derivatives to implement portfolio strategy. The fund may use futures contracts to replicate physical bonds or to create a short position in a given sector or along the yield curve. The fund is managed in a go anywhere style which allows PIMCO to invest in securities not found in the index including, but not limited to, international developed country bonds, convertible bonds, high yield bonds and emerging market debt. QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND The fund performed in line with the benchmark during the fourth quarter with some underperformance coming from the fund s underweight to the U.S. corporate credit sector, which outperformed. However, the fund s concentration in shorter term, less duration-sensitive securities, and holdings in mortgages and municipal bonds offset the fund s underperformance in the U.S. corporate credit sector. Duration was added during the quarter by purchasing futures contracts to be approximately in line with the benchmark s duration at year end. The portfolio remains underweight to the investment-grade credit sector, but the fund s tactical positions in Build America Bonds are viewed as substitutes to credit that are trading at more attractive yield spreads above treasuries than are traditional investment-grade credits. The team continues to find mortgage exposure through non-agency MBS, which the team views as more attractive on a relative value basis than agency MBS, which the team views as overall fairly valued. During the quarter, the team added significantly to the portfolio s futures positions that mature in late 201 and early 2016 in order to benefit from the Fed delaying fed funds rate hikes longer than the market expects. Positioning remains overweight to the 0- year portion of the nominal yield curve and overweight to year TIPS while limiting corporate exposure, especially in financials which are less attractive on a relative basis due to continued strong performance.

(-) Unfavorable stock selection in energy had the most damaging impact on performance (-0.1%) throughout the fourth quarter. (+) Over the past year, stock selection in information technology (+2.4%) and sector selection in health care (+0.6%) had the two largest positive impacts on performance. (+) For the past years, effective stock selection in information technology was the largest contributor to performance (+1.4%).

As of 9/0/201, the three main sector and or country overweights (versus the Russell 1000 Growth Index) were in health care (+7%), consumer discretionary (+4%), and information technology (+%).
