Returns are based on the strategic underlying weightings of the funds and will not exactly reflect individual client returns. All returns are net of fund management fees, but exclude advice and administration fees. Prior to portfolio launch date, the performance is pro-forma using the actual underlying fund performances and is net of all fees and expenses.

*The performance information is based on the back-tested performance of hypothetical investments over the time periods indicated. “Back-testing” is a process of objec-tively simulating historical investment returns by applying a set of rules for buying and selling securities, and other assets, backward in time, testing those rules, and hypo-thetically investing in the securities and other assets that are chosen. Back-testing is designed to allow investors to understand and evaluate certain strategies by seeing how they would have performed hypothetically during certain time periods. While back-testing results reflect rigorous application of the investment strategy selected, back-tested results have certain limitations and should not be considered indica-tive of future results. The results achieved in our simulations do not guarantee future investment results.
