2. Market Overview
Global equities across the board rose during the first quarter of the year
In the U.S., large caps had one of its best quarterly performances in a decade, rising 13.6%
China had the strongest performance of the major equity regions, rising 17.9%
The VIX ended the quarter at 13.7, a 46.1% drop versus year end 2018
After dropping 38% in the prior quarter, crude oil rebounded with a 32% upswing
The rebound came from tighter global supply conditions, with the U.S. reducing its drilling, Venezuelan sanctions and outages which restricted port loadings and crude production and Saudi Arabia affirming their commitment to cutting oil output
The 10-year Treasury yield dropped 28 basis points and finished at just over 2.4%
The Federal Reserve’s dot plot now suggests zero rate hikes in 2019, versus the expectations of two in the prior quarter
Global central banks increasingly became more dovish throughout the quarter, with the ECB and BOJ both reaffirming their negative interest rate policies and continued stimulus
Past performance cannot guarantee future results. Investing involves risk and may result in a profit or a loss.

3. Legg Mason Total Advantage Funds: A Target Date Solution
Designed to solve for two critical objectives, often at odds with one another:
Help boost return potential for investors saving for retirement
Manage volatility and market risk to help minimize their impact on hard-earned savings
Benefits are driven from five key features: *
1 Retirement Keeper refers to the Dynamic Risk Management Period of the Strategy.  In rapidly declining markets, significant losses will likely occur. Conversely, when markets are rapidly accelerating, market appreciation may not be fully realized due to the Portfolio’s more conservative allocation.

4. Adaptive Asset Allocation Total Advantage Funds Glidepath
Designed to counter market risk, inflation risk and longevity risk
Generally higher allocation to equity assets
A “through” retirement solution, actively managed 25 years after retirement
Conversion to Static Portfolio
Inflation Risk
Stable Value
The glidepath shown here highlights a key feature of the LMTAFs
Retirement Keeper is a unique risk management feature that we believe is a key differentiator for the Funds
It is active during the years when an investor is most vulnerable to large equity market losses – the five years before and five years after retirement

Q1 was a period of strong performance, compared to the benchmark
In the 1st quarter, 10 of 11 vintages beat or matched their benchmark
The performance picture also strong when we examine the period since all 11 vintages were live (July 30, 2018) with 9 out of 11 vintages ahead of their benchmark
The Second component of the Adaptive Asset Allocation feature is a tactical asset allocation component
We call this Tactical Accelerator
It’s purpose in the Funds is to boost return above what is generated by the underlying funds
How does it work? It is a multi-factor model that forecasts the relative performance between stocks and bonds
Uses 4 factors that our multi-asset researchers believe has strong predictive power w/r/t these assets
+/- 10% stocks and IG bonds
Expressed synthetically through equity and UST futures – inexpensive, good liquidity, keep your coupon and dividend
Performance shown is gross of any advisory fees.² The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and unit value of the Funds will fluctuate, and units may be worth more or less than their original cost when redeemed. Returns for periods less than one year are cumulative. Performance would have been lower if fees and expenses had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and deduction of all CIF expenses. Performance for other unit classes will vary due to differences in class expenses.

All of the underlying holdings had positive absolute returns
Strongest returns were across U.S. small and large cap growth funds
The best performing vintages were the ones with the highest equity exposure
Relative Returns
Outperformance across the vintages versus the S&P Target Date benchmarks, but the Retirement Fund was the lone underperformer
Overweight to U.S. equities positively contributed to performance, this was partially offset by manager selection (funds underperforming their benchmark) within international equities
While stable value had positive performance during the quarter, this was largely offset by under-allocating to U.S. IG bonds, which returned more than stable value
Tactical asset allocation positively contributed to performance during the quarter

Volatility cap of 11.5% in place, with potential to be lowered based on other risk signals
2015 and 2020 vintages began de-risking in late December 2018, entering the new year with decreased equity exposure of 5.7% and 10.4%
In February, the de-risking was taken off for both the 2015 and 2020 funds, as the equity market’s volatility declined

11. Disclosures
All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks; and possible loss of principal.
As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. High-yield bonds possess greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. In addition to the Funds’ operating expenses, you will indirectly bear the operating expenses of the underlying funds. The Funds and each underlying fund may engage in active and frequent trading, resulting in higher portfolio turnover and transaction costs. Derivatives, such as options and futures, can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.
The model used to manage a Fund’s assets provides no assurance that the recommended allocation will either maximize returns or minimize risks. There is no assurance that a recommended allocation will prove the ideal allocation in all circumstances. In rapidly declining markets, significant losses will likely occur. Conversely, when markets are rapidly accelerating, market appreciation may not be fully realized due to a fund’s more conservative allocation. In addition, because the portfolio invests in underlying funds, QS Investors may not be able to shift allocations in time to capture an immediate or sudden spike in the market. Additional risks may include those risks associated with investing in real estate, commodities and private equity. Please see the Funds’ Investment Policy Statement for more information regarding risks associated with investing in the Funds.
While an investor’s retirement age is a central component in deciding which series option is right for the investor, other relative factors should also be considered. For instance, an investor’s individual circumstances, long-term investment goals and risk tolerance – and especially if the investor falls between two retirement years – should all be carefully considered. These and other factors, as well as the Funds’ risks, should be discussed with an investor’s financial professional.
Investments in target date options are not guaranteed and investors may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target date. Additionally, there is no guarantee that investments in these options will provide adequate income at and through retirement. All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal.

For performance shown gross of fees, investment management and other fees were not deducted. In the event that such fees were deducted, the performance of an account would be lower. For example, if an account appreciated by 10% a year for five years, the total annualized return for five years prior to deducting fees at the end of the five-year period would be 10%. If total account fees were 0.10% for each of the five years, the total annualized return of the account for five years at the end of the five-year period would be 9.89%. Fees are described in Part 2A of QS Investors’ Form ADV.

13. Competitor Fund Disclosures
Vanguard Target Retirement Funds
Investments in Target Retirement Funds are subject to the risks of their underlying funds. The year in the fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the fund would retire and leave the workforce. The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date. An investment in a Target Retirement Fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date.
These fund suggestions are based on an estimated retirement age of approximately 65. Should you choose to retire significantly earlier or later, you may want to consider a fund with an asset allocation more appropriate to your particular situation.
Fidelity Freedom® Funds
Designed for investors who anticipate retiring in or within a few years of the fund's target retirement year at or around age 65. Investing in a combination of Fidelity domestic equity funds, international equity funds, bond funds, and short-term funds (underlying Fidelity funds), each of which (excluding any money market fund) seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the total return of a specific index. Allocating assets among underlying Fidelity funds according to a "neutral" asset allocation strategy that adjusts over time until it reaches an allocation similar to that of the Freedom Index Income Fund approximately 10 to 19 years after the target year. Ultimately, the fund will merge with the Freedom Index Income Fund. FMR Co., Inc. (the Adviser) reserves the right to modify the fund’s neutral asset allocations from time to time when in the interests of shareholders. Buying and selling futures contracts (both long and short positions) in an effort to manage cash flows efficiently, remain fully invested, or facilitate asset allocation. The Adviser may use an active asset allocation strategy to increase or decrease neutral asset class exposures reflected above by up to 10 percentage points for Equity Funds (includes domestic and international equity funds), Bond Funds and Short-Term Funds to reflect the Adviser's market outlook, which is primarily focused on the intermediate term. The asset allocations in the "Choosing a Freedom Fund" section above are referred to as "neutral" because they do not reflect any decisions made by the Adviser to overweight or underweight an asset class.
The investment risk of each Fidelity Freedom Fund changes over time as its asset allocation changes. These risks are subject to the asset allocation decisions of the Investment Adviser. Pursuant to the Adviser's ability to use an active asset allocation strategy, investors may be subject to a different risk profile compared to the fund's neutral asset allocation strategy shown in its glide path. The funds are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including that of equity and fixed income investments in the U.S. and abroad, and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high-yield, small-cap, commodity-linked and foreign securities. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. No target date fund is considered a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee any single fund will provide sufficient retirement income at or through retirement. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the funds' target dates.
T.Rowe Target Retirement Funds
The principal value of the Retirement Funds and Target Funds (collectively the "target date funds") is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the target date, which is the approximate year an investor plans to retire (assumed to be age 65) and likely stop making new investments in the fund. If an investor plans to retire significantly earlier or later than age 65, the funds may not be an appropriate investment even if the investor is retiring on or near the target date. The target date funds' allocations among a broad range of underlying T. Rowe Price stock and bond funds will change over time. The Retirement Funds emphasize potential capital appreciation during the early phases of retirement asset accumulation, balance the need for appreciation with the need for income as retirement approaches, and focus on supporting an income stream over a long-term retirement withdrawal horizon. The Target Funds emphasize asset accumulation prior to retirement, balance the need for reduced market risk and income as retirement approaches, and focus on supporting an income stream over a moderate postretirement withdrawal horizon. The target date funds are not designed for a lump-sum redemption at the target date and do not guarantee a particular level of income. The key difference between the Retirement Funds and the Target Funds is the overall allocation to equity; although they each maintain significant allocations to equities both prior to and after the target date, the Retirement Funds maintain a higher equity allocation, which can result in greater volatility over shorter time horizons. Diversification cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
American Funds Target Date Retirement Funds
Depending on the proximity to its target date, the fund will seek to achieve the following objectives to varying degrees: growth, income and conservation of capital. The fund will increasingly emphasize income and conservation of capital by investing a greater portion of its assets in bond, equity income and balanced funds as it approaches and passes its target date. In this way, the fund seeks to balance total return and stability over time. 13
