16 Sample Goals Type of Goal Example Time Frame Accumulation goals: retirement and college provide funds in more than 10 years Major short-term purchases: home, car provide funds in 2-5 years Wealth preservation: retirement income provide income for years Emergency account: unexpected job loss immediate 3-6 months of living expenses
17 Accumulation Goals Sample goals: retirement and college planning; 10+ years away Asset allocation does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. These examples are hypothetical and used for illustrative purposes only.
18 Major Purchase Goals Sample goals: purchase home or car; 2 to 5 years away Asset allocation does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. These examples are hypothetical and used for illustrative purposes only.
19 Wealth Preservation Sample goals: living on retirement income; preserving wealth for 20 to 30 years Asset allocation does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. These examples are hypothetical and used for illustrative purposes only.
20 Emergency Fund Sample goals: three to six months living expenses Asset allocation does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. These examples are hypothetical and used for illustrative purposes only.
21 Suitability Issues All general securities transactions must be suitable based on the information provided by a client Information related to Investment Objective and Risk Tolerance must be consistent Trades that appear inconsistent with client needs should not be accepted, unless additional relevant information is provided by the client
22 Suitability: Example 1 Client age 72 Investment Objective Current Income Risk Tolerance Conservative to Moderate Client instructs rep to liquidate all mutual funds and annuities Use proceeds to buy small-cap stock Is trade unsolicited? Yes Is trade suitable? No May rep execute order? No
23 Suitability: Example 2 Client Age 55 Investment Objective Growth Risk Tolerance Moderate Current account value $100,000 allocated to a moderate portfolio Client instructs rep to purchase 500 shares of a small-cap stock at $10/share Is order unsolicited? Yes Is order suitable? Yes May rep accept order? Yes A $5,000 purchase represents a small percentage of the overall portfolio, which has a small-cap component
24 Managing Client Risk Stock Portfolio Asset Allocation Portfolio Annualized return (30 years): 10.16% Risk level: 15.01% Annualized return (30 years): 8.63% Risk level: 9.19% Sample goals: retirement and college planning Hypothetical illustration for illustrative purposes only. Asset allocation does not assure a profit or protect against a loss. Source: DST Systems, Inc. The mixed portfolio is composed of 60% equities, 30% fixed-income investments, and 10% cash.

27 Rebalancing Considerations Rebalance client portfolios at least annually For retirement plans, rebalance by readjusting make-up of contributions Minimize transaction costs and tax consequences by adjusting new money, not liquidating existing assets Rebalance in tax-deferred accounts when possible Consider using lump-sum payments
28 Importance of Remaining Proactive With Clients Be aware of clients changing situations How do their current investments mesh with goals, time horizons, and outlook on risk? Being proactive can also foster long-term relationships with clients At the end of the day, it s your responsibility to make sure clients are invested properly
29 Summary Asset allocation defined Single most important factor in determining the variability of returns in a long-term portfolio. Three main asset classes Stocks Bonds Money market instruments Risk and return characteristics of each asset class Factors influencing asset allocation decisions Client goals Time horizons Risk tolerance
