Reminder: Bond risk is NOT synonymous with equity risk Source: Vanguard Investment Strategy Group. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. The performance of an index is not an exact representation of any particular investment, as you cannot invest directly in an index. Note: When determining which index to use and for what period, we selected the index that we deemed to be a fair representation of the characteristics of the referenced market, given the information currently available. For U.S. stock market returns, we used the Standard & Poor’s 90 from 1926 to March 3, 1957, the S&P 500 Index from March 4, 1957, through 1974, the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index from 1975 through April 22, 2005, and the MSCI US Broad Market Index thereafter. For U.S. bond market returns, we used the S&P High Grade Corporate Index from 1926 to 1968, the Citigroup High Grade Index from 1969 to 1972, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Long Credit AA Index from 1973 to 1975, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index from 1976 to 2009, and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index thereafter. Portfolio is rebalanced monthly.

Our valuation models for the world’s major markets still show attractive valuations relative to long-term norms. For those with a sufficiently long investment time horizon, equity markets offer reasonable/attractive value at these levels As the remaining issues that are impacting growth and confidence are eventually resolved, a long period of average/superior returns for stocks may lie ahead Equity Market Outlook Fair value is the minimum price level consistent with mild inflation/low interest rates in a growing economy. Above-average price appreciation remains a possibility in an environment where ‘normalcy’ is restored. Moreover, opportunity exists as valuations in the biggest markets still lie below their minimum expected levels. Corrections are always a possibility and valuations will not limit the risk of damage from systemic shocks, but the outlook for equity market returns is generally superior when stocks lie below fair value at the bands’ midpoint.

Portfolio Structure 19 Investors can achieve their objective of protecting principal and maintaining a consistent level of income through asset allocation and active portfolio management: ● Investment managers can utilize strategies to limit interest rate risk such as:  Shortening portfolio duration  Adding interest rate floaters  Increasing allocation to less rate sensitive sectors (i.e. - corporate bonds) ● Investors should maintain a portfolio that is diversified across asset classes
