©Copyright Financeware, Inc. 2001-2003 All rights reserved Building PAGE 57 Wealthcare is an easy process that puts everything together: “Stress Test” Goals Acceptable & Ideal Goals Define Major Life Goals Prioritize Goals Recommendation “In Balance” Comfort & Confidence Implement Allocation Monitor Progress New Goals or Priorities

©Copyright Financeware, Inc. 2001-2003 All rights reserved Building PAGE 58 This new process has many benefits compared to traditional services: “Stress Test” Goals Acceptable & Ideal Goals Define Major Life Goals Prioritize Goals Recommendation “In Balance” Comfort & Confidence Implement Allocation Monitor Progress New Goals or Priorities Traditional Financial Services WealthcareBenefit Complicated questionnaires asking for meaningless details Focus on what is important Easier Goals compromised to maximize investment amount Identify aspirationsAchieve goals otherwise ignored Identify maximum risk tolerance… Position you to experience it! Evaluate whether risk is necessary Avoid unnecessary risk Solutions based on sacrifice (additional savings) Solutions based on YOUR priorities Avoid unnecessary lifestyle sacrifice Monitor performance (what happened?) Monitor PROGRESS (will I meet my goals?) Identify problems & opportunities in advance Update annually at best Update on demandMore choices and better decisions Confidence completely unknown Confidence (comfort) calculated, monitored and kept in “balance” Comfort that goals can be achieved

©Copyright Financeware, Inc. 2001-2003 All rights reserved Building PAGE 66 Sample: Aspirations (Ideal) and Traditional Goals (Acceptable) Traditional advisory services focus on maximizing the size of your investment portfolio by minimizing your spending, maximizing your savings and positioning you in a portfolio with the highest risk you can tolerate. Achieving goals otherwise ignored and minimizing investment risk is what the Wealthcare process is all about. For most people, some goals are more important than others. Your primary financial goals as determined in our goal assessment are outlined above.

©Copyright Financeware, Inc. 2001-2003 All rights reserved Building PAGE 67 “Stress Testing” Uncertain <75% A confidence level below 75% means that there is too high of a chance you may not achieve your goals. Adjustments need to be made to your goals, your allocation or your investments Sacrifice >90% A confidence level above 90% indicates that you are needlessly sacrificing your financial goals. You could take less investment risk, achieve larger or more goals and still maintain confidence in your financial future. Confidence & Comfort (in “balance”) A confidence level between 75% and 90% should give you confidence that your goals can be met. This reading indicates a set of goals that is manageable and avoids unnecessary investment risk. You may find at some future date minor changes may be suggested, but they are likely to be small, easily manageable and exposed well in advance through ongoing monitoring. How does “Stress Testing” Work? Central to the Wealthcare process is the Confidence calculation. This analysis simultaneously evaluates your goals, your investment allocation and your assets to determine how confident you can be that your goals will be met. The Wealthcare process subjects your goals and investment strategy to this sophisticated ‘stress testing’ process which simulates 1000 market environments, both good and bad. Your Confidence or Comfort is the percentage of the 1000 simulations that achieve your goals. For example, if you achieved all of your goals or more in 830 of 1000 tests your confidence is 83%.

©Copyright Financeware, Inc. 2001-2003 All rights reserved Building PAGE 68 “Stress Test” Results For Your Goals Your Comfort Level… Indicates the overall confidence in achieving your most important life goals. Remember, below 75% means you may be disappointed and above 90% means you are making needless sacrifices to your lifestyle. Comfort Zone Too Much Compromise

This recommendation is designed to avoid undue sacrifices to your financial lifestyle and if possible avoid unnecessary investment risk. With these objectives in mind, our recommended goals and investment strategy falls within balance so that you can be confident that any future modifications to your goals will be moderate and manageable through ongoing monitoring.

©Copyright Financeware, Inc. 2001-2003 All rights reserved Building PAGE 70 Achieving Your Goals Monitoring Your Progress… As financial markets, financial goals and priorities change, we monitor your progress on an ongoing basis. The Wealthcare process identifies in advance the future portfolio values needed to maintain balance between confidence and undue sacrifice. This monitoring process enables us to track where your current portfolio falls so we can alert you of potential problems, or help you achieve additional goals you may have. Additionally, this dynamic process recognizes that throughout your life, goals and priorities change. In such cases we will design new recommendations for you. 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 Age $3,000,000 $1,800,000 $200,000 Sacrifice Uncertain Your Portfolio
