Small company stocks ( small cap ) have better long term prospects, but tend to be more volatile than large company stocks.

Appendix RISK DISCLOSURES This information is intended to provide general information about the Time Targeted Equity Portfolios, and not represent an actual portfolio. Market risk is the risk that the value of an investment will decrease due to moves in market factors. Securities of small companies are often less liquid than those of large companies. Small company stocks tend to fluctuate relatively more in price than large company stocks. Foreign securities prices are subject to additional risks that may include price declines or fluctuations due to economic and political actions of foreign governments, less regulated and liquid securities markets, and exposure to foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar. Prices of fixed income securities tend to move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In general, fixed income securities with longer maturities are more sensitive to price changes. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security may be unable to make interest payments and repay the principal when due. Credit risk is greater for fixed income securities with ratings below investment grade. Past performance is not a guarantee of future investment results. Investing in securities involves the risk of loss, and there is no assurance that any investment will be profitable. ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY Simulated portfolio performance is based on back-tested data, provided for informational purposes only, does not represent actual performance, and should be considered strictly hypothetical. Actual performance may have been materially lower, and future performance may be materially lower. Results also do not reflect trading and market factors that could have impacted a client s or Asset Dedication s decision-making process. No matter how positive historical audits have been over any time period, the potential for loss is always present due to factors which may not be accounted for in the historical audit. The nature of a back-tested audit creates the potential for a financial professional to select superior performance results in order to get the desired audit results. The holdings based analysis looks through the mutual funds and examines the combined underlying securities of the funds in the portfolio, given the weights in the allocation.
