1 Kent A. Newcomb, CFA, Equity Sector Analyst Joseph E. Buffa, Equity Sector Analyst DSIP List Commentary from ASG's Equity Sector Analysts Fourth Quarter & 2014 Review The Diversified Stock Income Plan (DSIP List) focuses on companies that we believe will provide consistent annual dividend growth over a long-term investment horizon. Our objective is to provide a broad list of high quality, industry leading companies from which an investor can assemble a welldiversified portfolio. Through consistent dividend growth, our goal is to help investors stay ahead of the wealth eroding effects of inflation. Total Return 20.0% 15.0% DSIP S&P % 13.7% 10.0% 5.0% 0.0% 5.0% 7.5% 4.6% 5.2% 4.9% 2.5% 1.8% 1.1% 0.5% Q1 Q2 Q3 Q The DSIP List ended the year on a high note, handily outperforming the benchmark S&P 500 during the fourth quarter. On a total return basis, performance of the list was +7.5% compared to the index at +5%. List performance was driven by our relatively large weighting in utilities, the best performing sector in the S&P 500 both in the quarter and for the full year. After a strong first quarter, followed by relative weakness in the second and third quarters, utility stocks outperformed the market throughout Q4, as renewed concerns about global economic growth drove investment dollars back into defensive sectors. For the full year, the DSIP List outpaced the S&P 500 benchmark by one percentage point. In a rising market, we would typically expect the DSIP List to lag the S&P 500 index somewhat given its generally defensive positioning, reflected in the list s historical beta of about 0.9. Keep in mind that the DSIP List, in its drive for dependable, long-term dividend growth, tends to be relatively over weighted in sectors that are traditionally more defensive and less volatile than the overall market, like utilities and consumer staples.

2 2015 themes Is it déjà vu all over again? The market seems to be off to a start here early in 2015 very similar to a year ago; i.e., with market strategists expecting higher interest rates as the Federal Reserve reduces stimulus to reflect an improving U.S. economy. Like 2014 however, the market has acted contrarily to that notion, with interest rates declining and defensive (i.e., interest rate sensitive) stocks generally outperforming. The reasons are different, with 2014 impacted early in the year by severe winter weather that slowed the economy temporarily, and 2015 beset thus far by global economic growth concerns amid the sharp decline in oil prices; but the end result is similar, i.e., defensive stocks generally outperforming. In the long run, interest rates will fluctuate and should not be a significant factor in the performance of a diversified portfolio of high quality dividend-growing stocks. In the short term, however, rising rates will likely induce a kneejerk reaction to the downside for some of the more interest rate sensitive stocks on the DSIP List. Utilities in particular, a sector where the list is overweight relative to the benchmark, tend to underperform, at least initially, in a rising rate environment. Loyal followers of the DSIP strategy should not be surprised, and should stay the course if a rising interest rate scenario actually plays out. We expect U.S. growth to accelerate relative to most major economies in 2015, potentially benefitting many of the more U.S.-centric names on the DSIP List. This is basically the polar opposite of our stance entering 2014, with rebounding growth in Europe and Japan expected to boost the fortunes of U.S. multinationals on the DSIP List. As a reminder, DSIP List companies tend to be global in nature and on average generate approximately 50% of revenue outside the U.S. Positive economic surprises outside the U.S. could provide a tailwind in 2015 for many names on the list. Oil prices declined significantly in the second half of 2014, and have extended that trend into early Low oil prices have an obvious negative impact on our energy sector stocks (see Q4 total returns for DSIP energy names on page 6). Other industries and specific companies on the list have felt the ripple effects of lower oil prices, including several stocks in the industrial and materials sectors. Conversely, many of the more defensive names on the list in the consumer staples and utility sectors have once again begun the new year with relative outperformance. We don t claim to know anything about forecasting future oil prices, but believe the recent pullback likely presents a buying opportunity in high quality, dividend growing energy and energy-related names on the DSIP List for patient, long-term investors. In 2015, as usual, we expect the vast majority of DSIP List stocks to increase their dividend, likely in the high single digit range on average. Fourth quarter and full year dividend increases During the fourth quarter, 19 DSIP List companies declared dividend increases, averaging 10% on an annualized basis. In Figure 1, we list the dividend increases announced during the year and the percentage increase over the prior year. Of the 72 companies that were included on the DSIP List for the entirety of 2014, 71 raised dividends during the year, compiling an average increase overall of 11%. The lone holdout, United Technologies (UTX), was expected as the company s policy is to review (and increase) its dividend after five quarters instead of the more usual four quarters. In Figure 2, we present the average dividend change by year for the DSIP List and the S&P 500, as well as the corresponding inflation rate as measured by changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Although past performance does not guarantee future results, we believe that holding a diversified portfolio of DSIP stocks has been and will continue to be a viable strategy to help investors stay ahead of the rising cost of living.

During the year we added three new stocks to the list and removed two. In March we added shares of Verizon Communications (VZ) and QUALCOMM (QCOM), followed by the addition of TJX Companies (TJX) in June. Removals both came in September Sigma-Aldrich (SIAL) and Intel (INTC). Following the roll-up of the 45% of Verizon Wireless previously owned by Vodafone, weakness in VZ shares presented an opportunity to add a high quality telecom leader and dividend grower at an attractive price. We added Qualcomm to take advantage of the expected global growth in smart devices and mobile connectivity as Qualcomm technology is used virtually in every device that connects to a 3G wireless network. The company has a strong position in 4G as well. TJX Companies, the leading off-price retailer, is a very strong brand with growth prospects both in the U.S. and abroad. We added TJX shares during a period of share price weakness following a rare earnings miss and concerns around the health of the off-price channel. We removed Intel on September 15, 2015 after the company declared its tenth dividend at the thenprevailing rate of $ That dividend marked two consecutive years at the same rate and diminished our confidence in the Board of Directors commitment to consistent dividend growth. Nine days later, we removed Sigma-Aldrich after the company announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Merck KGaA for $140 per share in cash. Although the transaction is not expected to close until the middle of 2015, SIAL shares immediately jumped to within a few dollars of the offering price, leaving little capital appreciation potential and a very low dividend yield.
