This document provides a market commentary and overview of key steps to financial success. It discusses that asset allocation, investment selection, and rebalancing are important for financial success. It also notes that diversification is important because leaders in different asset classes rotate over time. While diversification struggled in 2014, diversification remains important because different asset classes outperform in different years.

Market Summary
Diversification didn't work as advertised during 2014
– Large Cap U.S. Stocks outperformed most other asset classes, with
the exception of Real Estate (REITs)
– International stocks dramatically underperformed
– Small Cap and Mid Cap U.S. stocks also underperformed
– Commodities and Emerging Markets both had negative returns
– 2014 felt a lot like 2011 all over again
– All Asset Allocation mutual funds struggled against this performance

Diversified Portfolios Underperformed U.S.-centric
Source: Morningstar Direct, Edward Jones calculations. Past performance does not guarantee future results. An index is not managed and is unavailable for
direct investment. Performance does not include payment of any expenses, fees or sales charges, which would lower the performance results. Returns include
dividend reinvestments. The prices of small-cap stocks are generally more volatile than those of large company stocks. There are special risks inherent with
international investing, including currency fluctuations and political, social and economic risks. U.S. Large Cap stocks represented by the S&P 500. International
stocks are represented by the MSCI EAFE. The globally diversified moderate allocation comprises the following indexes and weights: S&P 500 (31%), Barclays
Aggregate Bond (25%), MSCI EAFE (21%), Russell Mid Cap (7%), Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD (4%), Barclays High Yield 2% Issuer Cap (4%), Russell
2000 (4%), Barclays U.S. Treasury Bill 1-3 Month (2%), and MSCI ACWI Ex USA SMID (2%).
