Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance.
The indices are unmanaged. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. They are shown for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the
performance of any specific investment.
Because of their narrow focus, sector investments tend to be more volatile than investments that diversify across many sectors and companies.
Value investing seeks underpriced stocks, but there is no guarantee that a stock's price will rise.
Investing in smaller/mid-cap companies involves greater risks not associated with investing in more established companies, such as business risk,
significant stock price fluctuations and illiquidity.
Growth investing does not guarantee a profit or eliminate risk. The stocks of these companies can have relatively high valuations. Because of
these high valuations, an investment in a growth stock can be more risky than an investment in a company with more modest growth
expectations.
International investing entails greater risk, as well as greater potential rewards compared to U.S. investing. These risks include political and
economic uncertainties of foreign countries as well as the risk of currency fluctuations. These risks are magnified in countries with emerging
markets, since these countries may have relatively unstable governments and less established markets and economics.
Bonds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; generally the longer a bond's maturity, the more sensitive it is to
this risk. Bonds may also be subject to call risk, which is the risk that the issuer will redeem the debt at its option, fully or partially, before the
scheduled maturity date. The market value of debt instruments may fluctuate, and proceeds from sales prior to maturity may be more or less
than the amount originally invested or the maturity value due to changes in market conditions or changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Bonds
are subject to the credit risk of the issuer. This is the risk that the issuer might be unable to make interest and/or principal payments on a timely
basis. Bonds are also subject to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that principal and/or interest payments from a given investment may be
reinvested at a lower interest rate.

2015 asset return analysis

  • 1. J AN U AR Y 0 4 2 0 1 6 United States Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. The indices are unmanaged. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. They are shown for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the performance of any specific investment. Because of their narrow focus, sector investments tend to be more volatile than investments that diversify across many sectors and companies. Value investing seeks underpriced stocks, but there is no guarantee that a stock's price will rise. Investing in smaller/mid-cap companies involves greater risks not associated with investing in more established companies, such as business risk, significant stock price fluctuations and illiquidity. Growth investing does not guarantee a profit or eliminate risk. The stocks of these companies can have relatively high valuations. Because of these high valuations, an investment in a growth stock can be more risky than an investment in a company with more modest growth expectations. International investing entails greater risk, as well as greater potential rewards compared to U.S. investing. These risks include political and economic uncertainties of foreign countries as well as the risk of currency fluctuations. These risks are magnified in countries with emerging markets, since these countries may have relatively unstable governments and less established markets and economics. Bonds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; generally the longer a bond's maturity, the more sensitive it is to this risk. Bonds may also be subject to call risk, which is the risk that the issuer will redeem the debt at its option, fully or partially, before the scheduled maturity date. The market value of debt instruments may fluctuate, and proceeds from sales prior to maturity may be more or less than the amount originally invested or the maturity value due to changes in market conditions or changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Bonds are subject to the credit risk of the issuer. This is the risk that the issuer might be unable to make interest and/or principal payments on a timely basis. Bonds are also subject to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that principal and/or interest payments from a given investment may be reinvested at a lower interest rate.

It has been a widely followed indicator of the stock market since October 1, 1928. S&P 500 The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The index was developed with a base level of 10 for the 1941-43 base period. S&P Industrials The S&P Industrials Index is comprised of the stocks representing the industrial sector of the S&P 500 and represents about 75 percent of the S&P 500 (exclusive of the utility, financial and transportation sectors). S&P GIC Utilities/ Financials In 1999, Standard & Poor’s and MSCI/Barra jointly developed the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) to establish a global standard for categorizing companies into sectors and industries. GICS is used as a basis for S&P and MSCI indexes in which each company is assigned to a sub-industry, and to a corresponding industry, industry group and sector, according to the definition of its principal business activity. S&P Midcap 400 Measures the performance of 400 mid-size domestic stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. A mid-cap stock is broadly defined as a company with a market capitalization ranging from US$2 billion to US$10 billion.

The index includes small cap stocks with market capitalization ranging from about US$300 million dollars to about US$2 billion. S&P Supercomposite 1500 Consists of the 1500 companies that comprise the S&P 500, the S&P mid-cap 400 and the S&P small-cap 600. S&P/Citigroup Growth A market-capitalization-weighted index consisting of those stocks within the S&P 500 Index that exhibit strong growth characteristics. The index is a numerical ranking system based on three growth factors and four value factors to determine the constituents and their weightings. S&P/Citigroup Value A market-capitalization-weighted index consisting of those stock within the S&P 500 Index that exhibit strong value characteristics. The index uses a numerical ranking system based on four value factors and three growth factors to determine the constituents and their weightings. Value Line Geometric Composite An equally weighted price index of all the stocks covered in The Value Line Investment Survey. Geometric refers to the geometric averaging technique that is used to compute the average. Geometric indices are not commonly used. A proxy for the market’s performance, the index is considered to represent the typical retail investor’s portfolio NASDAQ Composite The NASDAQ Composite Index is a broad-based capitalization-weighted index of stocks in all three NASDAQ tiers: Global Select, Global Market, and Capital Market. The index was developed with a base level of 100 as of February 5, 1971. NASDAQ Industrials Measures performance of NASDAQ-listed companies not in another NASDAQ index. Includes agricultural, mining, construction, manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade, services, and public administration enterprises, as well as health maintenance organizations and companies not included in NASDAQ’s Biotechnology Index. NASDAQ 100 The NASDAQ-100 Index includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market based on market capitalization. The Index reflects companies across major industry groups including computer hardware and software, telecommunications, retail/wholesale trade and biotechnology. It does not contain securities of financial companies including investment companies.
