This information is hypothetical and only an example. It does not reflect the return of any investment and is not a guarantee of future income. Bear in mind investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. 7

9 Investment planning Asset classes, theoretical risk versus return Potential Return High Low Risk SAVING : INVESTING : PLANNING High Asset classes and indexes from which their historical returns are derived are not managed funds, have no identifiable objectives and cannot be purchased. They do not provide an indicator of how individual investments performed in the past or how they will perform in the future. Performance of indexes does not reflect the deduction of any fees and charges and past performance of asset 9 classes does not guarantee the future performance of any investment.
10 Investment planning Investing in stocks Positive Negative 1 year 5 years 10 years 20 years 27% 13% 5% 0% 73% 87% 95% 100% Historical positive returns from stocks as measured by the S&P 500 Index 1-, 5-, 10- and 20-year rolling periods January 1, 1927 December 31, SAVING : INVESTING : PLANNING Total return of the unmanaged S&P 500 assumes reinvestment of dividends. This chart is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the past or future performance of any specific investment. One cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 10 Source: Stocks, Bonds, Bills and Inflation. Yearbook, Ibbotson Associates, Inc.
11 Investment planning Asset allocation Aims to balance risk and reward > Deciding right mix of asset classes > Balance risk and reward > Long-term and short-term goals SAVING : INVESTING : PLANNING 11
12 Investment planning Asset allocation Deciding the right mix of asset classes Historical performance Value of $1 invested over 45 years (45-year period ending 12/31/14) $13.33 $10.06 $10.52 $8.00 $5.16 Cash Equivalents - Citigroup Treasury Bill 3 Month Index Investment Grade Bonds - Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index International Stocks - MSCI EAFE Index Small Cap Stocks - Russell 2000 Index Large Cap Stocks - Russell 1000 Index SAVING : INVESTING : PLANNING This chart is for illustrative purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Neither asset allocation nor diversification ensures a profit or protects against market loss. Source: Data is based on indexes that are representative of each asset class. The 45-year performance was calculated using the returns for the 45-year period ending 12/31/2014, provided by Ibbotson Associates, supplemented with returns data from publicly available sources. 12
13 Investment planning Sample mixes Conservative This sample mix might suit investors who view principal preservation as being very important. Conservative investors can accept small, short-term declines in value in order to achieve some portfolio growth. Moderate This sample mix might suit investors who are willing to accept some fluctuations of principal for the potential to achieve a better return. Aggressive This sample mix might suit investors who are seeking high returns and are willing to accept much greater fluctuations of principal for the opportunity to achieve SAVING long-term : INVESTING gains. : PLANNING It is often recommended to rebalance at least annually. These illustrations are hypothetical and only an example. They do not reflect the return of any specific investments and are not a guarantee of future income. Rebalancing mutual fund investments that are outside tax-deferred portfolios (such as annuity contracts, IRAs and employersponsored plans) generally can result in current taxes on gains from the sales of mutual fund shares. 13

39 Retirement planning The advantages of a tax-qualified plan This chart compares the hypothetical results of contributing $100 each month to (1) a taxable account and (2) a tax-qualified retirement account. Bear in mind that a $100 pretax contribution to a tax-qualified account has a current cost of $75 (assuming a 25% income tax bracket) and also reduces current taxable income. Lower maximum capital gains rates may apply to certain investments in a taxable account (subject to IRS limitations, SAVING capital : losses INVESTING may also : be PLANNING deducted against capital gains) which would reduce the differences between performance in the accounts shown in the chart. The chart assumes an 8% annual rate of return. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Fees and charges, if applicable, are not reflected in this example and would reduce the amount shown. Income taxes on tax-deferred accounts are payable upon withdrawal. Federal restrictions and a 10% federal early withdrawal penalty may apply to withdrawals prior to age 59½. This information is hypothetical and only an example. It does not reflect the return of any investment and is not a guarantee of future income. 39

This example assumes an 8% annual rate of return. Tax-qualified plan accumulations are taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn. Federal restrictions and tax penalties can apply to early withdrawals. This information is hypothetical and only an example. It does not reflect the return of any investment and is not a guarantee of future income. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. 40
