Appendix RISK DISCLOSURES ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY INDEX DEFINITION The performance exhibits are generic and educational in nature, and do not pertain to your actual portfolio. The exhibits were designed to illustrate the relationship between risk and return, and the uncertainty of stocks relative to bonds. 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. As a result, small company stocks may fluctuate relatively more in price. Foreign securities prices may decline or fluctuate because of: (a) economic or political actions of foreign governments, and/or (b) less regulated or liquid securities markets. Investors holding these securities are also exposed to foreign currency risk (the possibility that foreign currency will fluctuate in value against the U.S. dollar). ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY Back-tested performance is provided for informational purposes only and does not represent actual performance. It is strictly hypothetical. Actual performance may have been materially lower and future performance may be materially lower. Results also do not reflect actual 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. INDEX DEFINITION An index is list of stocks provided by an index provider that tracks a given segment of the investment universe s and serves as a benchmark against which performance and characteristics are measured. Indices are not available for direct investment; its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the management of an actual portfolio. The S&P data are provided by Standard & Poor's Index Services Group. The S& P 500 is an index consisting of 500 stocks, which are weighted by market value. Its performance is thought to be representative of the stock market as a whole and provides a broad snapshot of the overall U.S. equity market.
