5. For Advisor Use Only — Not For Distribution5 Average Investor vs. Major Indices 1992 – 2012 Average stock investor and average bond investor performances were used from a DALBAR study, Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior (QAIB), 03/2013. QAIB calculates investor returns as the change in assets after excluding sales, redemptions, and exchanges. This method of calculation captures realized and unrealized capital gains, dividends, interest, trading costs, sales charges, fees, expenses, and any other costs. After calculating investor returns in dollar terms (above), two percentages are calculated: Total investor return rate for the period and annualized investor return rate. Total return rate is determined by calculating the investor return dollars as a percentage of the net of the sales, redemptions, and exchanges for the period. The fact that buy- and-hold has been a successful strategy in the past does not guarantee that it will continue to be successful in the future. S&P 500 and Fixed Income index returns do not include expenses and fees Equities Behavior Gap = 3.96% Fixed Income Behavior Gap = 5.36%
