Investing Is About You
We Are Living Longer
No matter what your age, you can expect to live much longer than the
generations before you. For example, the typical 65-year-old couple
today has a 30-year joint life expectancy, meaning there is a high
probability that at least one of them will live to age 95. Moreover, there
are more people living to the age of 100 than ever before.
This Increased Longevity Has
Important Financial Implications
Obviously, if you’re living longer, your money needs to last as long as
you do! Therefore, the first goal of any financial plan should be to avoid
outliving your money.
People aren't just living longer, they are healthier and more active than
previous generations. Many retirees participate in recreational activities,
get involved in volunteering, or even enjoy a second or third career. All of
this should be taken into account within your plan.
How you choose to invest your money for the long term could have major
implications for your overall success. We believe there are two important
decisions that can help you lay a strong foundation for your future.

Two Fundamental
Ways to Invest:
Active and Passive
The difference between active and passive
investing comes down to one thing: results.
Active Management
Active managers try to beat the market by buying what they believe to
be the “right” investments, avoiding the “wrong” ones, and by market
timing (getting in and out of the market at the “right” time).
Passive Management
Passive managers don’t try to beat the market, but aim to capture the
market's returns. They seek to maximize diversification and focus on
keeping costs low in order to achieve greater potential returns.

Active Managers Have Had a Difficult
Time Beating Their Benchmarks
This study by Standard & Poor’s looked at the performance of active
mutual fund managers over the last 10 years (through 2018) versus
Standard & Poor’s Indices. As you can see, over the 10-year cycle the
percentage of active managers who beat their respective benchmarks
was very low.
This does not mean active investing cannot beat the market — it can.
In the last 10 years, 16% of U.S. stock managers who tried to predict
the market beat the index, while 84% did not. The challenge is, active
investing beats the market a minority of the time, which makes it hard
to deliver the market returns that are the foundation of your plan.
If your plan is built using historical market
return assumptions, and this is the outcome
for active managers, would you implement
your plan with these odds?

Investors Have Increasingly Embraced the Passive Approach
While active management has been the historical standard on Wall
Street, investors are beginning to realize the opportunities and possible
advantages of passive investing. Starting from 0% of total assets under
management in 1970, passive funds have become more popular in recent
years, rising from just 3% of the market in 1993, to nearly 37% in 2018.
The total amount invested passively today tops $6 trillion. With strongly
positive asset flows into passive investing, and actively managed funds
seeing net outflows from 2016 to 2018, it’s clear investors have begun to
realize the differences between the two.

The Differences Between
Asset Class Investing
and Indexing
Once you have decided on a passive approach to investing, you still
have to make one more decision.
Index investing and asset class investing are two ways to implement
a passive investing approach. While they have similarities — like
diversification and tax efficiency — there are important differences.
Asset class investing is based on asset classes — groups of
securities with similar risk characteristics, like small company stocks,
large company stocks, and international bonds. Asset class investing
attempts to capture the performance of a specific market segment,
while index investing attempts to replicate the performance of an
index. Depending on how asset classes are determined, they may
have returns that underperform index benchmarks at times.

Index and Asset Class Investing

Driven by Academic Research on Factors of Return
Index Asset Class
Index investing targets a specific set of securities at specific weights as designated by an index provider, with the risks
associated with that particular part of the market. Asset class investing targets a specific part of the market by maintaining
consistent exposure to securities that fit the targeted characteristics but are not beholden to a specific list of securities
provided by an index provider, with risks associated with that particular part of the market.

The Asset Class
Difference
Precision
Asset class investing seeks to maintain a consistent risk exposure to a
given market segment. The companies included in that market segment
change over time, and an asset class is updated to reflect that in real time.
Some companies may appear to be a part of a market segment, but they
may not have the same risk characteristics, so they may be excluded
from an asset class.
Index funds, on the other hand, are only intended to replicate a
market segment, and as such they don’t exclude companies based on
risk. Additionally, most index funds update their portfolios as infrequently
as once a year, so they aren’t as “real time” in updating the companies
that make up the market segment.
Examples of the types of securities asset classes may exclude are:
• Highly regulated utilities
• Investment funds
• REITs
• Recent IPOs
• Share classes with foreign restrictions
• Extreme financial distress or bankruptcy
• Merger or target of acquisition
• Insufficient liquidity

Flexibility
Have you ever needed to take a flight at the last minute? Not only do
you experience the frustration of limited flight options, but then there is
the added expense. The same may be true of investing. Asset class funds
have the kind of flexibility you wish you had when booking a last-minute
flight. Asset class fund managers can trade when they can get the best
price, both when they are buying and selling; index fund managers must
buy a stock or bond only on the day it’s added to the published index.
In fact, all index managers must do all trades on the same day, which
may result in paying a higher price due to the short-term demand for the
security. (See the chart for how changes to the index can affect pricing.)
Factors of Return
Drawing on years of investing research, including the work of 11
Nobel laureates, asset class investing pursues the known factors of
return when constructing funds. These factors include size, value, and
profitability. Investors — with the help of their financial advisors — need
to decide how much exposure to these dimensions of return they are
comfortable with, keeping in mind that the greater the expected long-
term return, the greater the potential risk exposure.

A Portfolio for the
Long Term
When you are investing for up to a 30-year time horizon with a goal
of not outliving your money, your implementation plan can be very
important. Whatever happens in the economy and in markets over that
time — recessions, recoveries, bear or bull markets — your portfolio has
to be able to provide you with income.
So how do you put the odds in your favor?
If you simply invested all your money in a “market” index fund that
tracks the S&P 500, you could miss out on the potential long-term benefits
of a globally diversified asset class portfolio.
Let’s see what the potential results could be for a newly retired couple …
How can your portfolio increase your
chances of retirement success?

Diversification neither assures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market.
International markets involve additional risks, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuation, political instability,
foreign taxes, and different methods of accounting and financial reporting. As a result, they may not be suitable

How Do Returns Compare?
Let’s look at an example of a globally diversified asset class portfolio —
in this case a “moderate” portfolio that is 65% stocks and 35% bonds —
and compare it to the S&P 500 from 2000 through 2018, one of the
worst times to start investing since there were two major market
corrections and a recession.
Over this time period, the Moderate Risk Portfolio had an annualized rate of
return of around 4.92%. The S&P 500 returned 4.86% per year. In addition,
there was less volatility (ups and downs in price) in the asset class portfolio
than in the S&P Index: 12.74% versus 17.65%.
Asset class investing and diversification do not guarantee a gain
or protect from a loss. Utilizing asset class investing involves risks,
including the loss of principal, that cannot be guaranteed against
loss by a bank, custodian, or any other financial institution.

Most Investors Need Their Portfolios
to Provide Income in Retirement
Most retirees need to make regular withdrawals from their portfolios to
sustain their lifestyle. This is why your portfolio should be able to sustain
regular withdrawals throughout your retirement.
Using the same portfolios over the same time period (2000-2018), let’s
consider a newly retired 65-year-old couple with a $500,000 portfolio.
At the start of every year, they withdraw 5% of the initial value ($25,000 of
initial $500,000 starting value). This withdrawal is increased 3% each year
to help the couple’s income keep pace with inflation.
By 2018, the 65% stocks/35% bonds portfolio would be worth $237,239
(and this is after withdrawing $627,922 in income).
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 portfolio ran out of money.

What Asset Class Investing
Can Offer
When it comes down to it, we think there are two numbers that matter
above all else: 1 and 30. You may only have 1 chance to put together an
investment plan that will last you 30 or more years in retirement.
You need an approach that you can believe in and understand, one based
on research, analysis, and evidence — not luck or prognostication.
Asset class investing can offer:
• Low overall costs
• Tax efficiency
• Global diversification
• Consistent risk exposure to an asset class
• Long-term performance that can potentially
outperform index returns
Because you can’t control the market, you need a plan that gives you the
highest probability of being able to achieve your long-term goals. Do this
by using asset class investing, along with the guidance and experience of
a dedicated financial advisor.
Asset class investing does not guarantee a gain or protect from a loss and
involves risks, including the loss of principal.

Risk Disclosures
Diversification and implementing an asset class or market-based
investing strategy does not guarantee a profit or protect from a loss.
All investing involves risk, including loss of principal.
Stock investing involves risks, including increased volatility (up and down
movement in the value ofyour assets) and loss of principal.
Securities of small companies are often less liquid than those of large
companies. As a result, small-company stocks may fluctuate relatively
more in price.
International and emerging market investing involves special risks
such as currency fluctuation and political instability, and may not be
suitable for all investors.
Bonds (fixed income) are subject to market and interest rate risk
if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline as interest rates
rise and as issuer's creditworthiness declines, and are subject to
availability and changes in price.
REIT investments are subject to changes in economic conditions and real
estate values, and credit and interest rate risks.

The Fundamentals of Asset Class Investing

  • 2. The first goal of your financial plan should be to avoid outliving your money
  • 3. 1 Investing Is About You We Are Living Longer No matter what your age, you can expect to live much longer than the generations before you. For example, the typical 65-year-old couple today has a 30-year joint life expectancy, meaning there is a high probability that at least one of them will live to age 95. Moreover, there are more people living to the age of 100 than ever before. This Increased Longevity Has Important Financial Implications Obviously, if you’re living longer, your money needs to last as long as you do! Therefore, the first goal of any financial plan should be to avoid outliving your money. People aren't just living longer, they are healthier and more active than previous generations. Many retirees participate in recreational activities, get involved in volunteering, or even enjoy a second or third career. All of this should be taken into account within your plan. How you choose to invest your money for the long term could have major implications for your overall success. We believe there are two important decisions that can help you lay a strong foundation for your future. A TYPICAL 65-YEAR-OLD COUPLE TODAY HAS A 30-YEAR JOINT LIFE EXPECTANCY
  • 5. 3 Stock Picking Market Timing Active Passive Diversification Tax Efficiency Two Fundamental Ways to Invest: Active and Passive The difference between active and passive investing comes down to one thing: results. Active Management Active managers try to beat the market by buying what they believe to be the “right” investments, avoiding the “wrong” ones, and by market timing (getting in and out of the market at the “right” time). Passive Management Passive managers don’t try to beat the market, but aim to capture the market's returns. They seek to maximize diversification and focus on keeping costs low in order to achieve greater potential returns.
  • 6. 4 Source: Standard & Poor’s Indices Versus Active Funds Scorecard (SPIVA), 2019. For illustrative purposes only. Indexes are unmanaged baskets of securities in which investors cannot directly invest; they do not reflect the payment of advisory fees or other expenses associated with specific investments or the management of an actual portfolio. For a list of all indexes used in comparison, a description of each index used and additional information see data appendix on page 24. FEW ACTIVE MANAGERS OUTPERFORM Percentage of Actively Managed Funds That Beat Their Index 2009-2018 U.S. Stocks Emerging International Stocks Stocks U.S. Bonds Global Bonds 16% 32% 53% 19% 12%
  • 7. 5 84% OF U.S. STOCK MANAGERS DID NOT BEAT THE MARKET INDEX Active vs. Passive Investing Active Managers Have Had a Difficult Time Beating Their Benchmarks This study by Standard & Poor’s looked at the performance of active mutual fund managers over the last 10 years (through 2018) versus Standard & Poor’s Indices. As you can see, over the 10-year cycle the percentage of active managers who beat their respective benchmarks was very low. This does not mean active investing cannot beat the market — it can. In the last 10 years, 16% of U.S. stock managers who tried to predict the market beat the index, while 84% did not. The challenge is, active investing beats the market a minority of the time, which makes it hard to deliver the market returns that are the foundation of your plan. If your plan is built using historical market return assumptions, and this is the outcome for active managers, would you implement your plan with these odds?
  • 8. 6 Source: Morningstar Direct 2016-2018. See data appendix on page 24 for more information. MORE INVESTORS ARE CHOOSING THE PASSIVE APPROACH Passively Managed Funds vs. Actively Managed Funds 2016-2018 Added to passively managed funds Added to actively managed funds -$510 $1,670BILLION BILLION
  • 9. 7 Investors Have Increasingly Embraced the Passive Approach While active management has been the historical standard on Wall Street, investors are beginning to realize the opportunities and possible advantages of passive investing. Starting from 0% of total assets under management in 1970, passive funds have become more popular in recent years, rising from just 3% of the market in 1993, to nearly 37% in 2018. The total amount invested passively today tops $6 trillion. With strongly positive asset flows into passive investing, and actively managed funds seeing net outflows from 2016 to 2018, it’s clear investors have begun to realize the differences between the two. MORE THAN $6 TRILLION ARE INVESTED PASSIVELY
  • 11. 9 The Differences Between Asset Class Investing and Indexing Once you have decided on a passive approach to investing, you still have to make one more decision. Index investing and asset class investing are two ways to implement a passive investing approach. While they have similarities — like diversification and tax efficiency — there are important differences. Asset class investing is based on asset classes — groups of securities with similar risk characteristics, like small company stocks, large company stocks, and international bonds. Asset class investing attempts to capture the performance of a specific market segment, while index investing attempts to replicate the performance of an index. Depending on how asset classes are determined, they may have returns that underperform index benchmarks at times. Key Similarities and Differences Between Index and Asset Class Investing Diversification Tax Efficiency Precision of Exposure to Market Segment Flexible Trading Driven by Academic Research on Factors of Return Index Asset Class Index investing targets a specific set of securities at specific weights as designated by an index provider, with the risks associated with that particular part of the market. Asset class investing targets a specific part of the market by maintaining consistent exposure to securities that fit the targeted characteristics but are not beholden to a specific list of securities provided by an index provider, with risks associated with that particular part of the market.

Frank Russell Company is the source and owner of the trademarks, service marks, and copyrights related to the Russell Indexes.

  • 13. 11 The Asset Class Difference Precision Asset class investing seeks to maintain a consistent risk exposure to a given market segment. The companies included in that market segment change over time, and an asset class is updated to reflect that in real time. Some companies may appear to be a part of a market segment, but they may not have the same risk characteristics, so they may be excluded from an asset class. Index funds, on the other hand, are only intended to replicate a market segment, and as such they don’t exclude companies based on risk. Additionally, most index funds update their portfolios as infrequently as once a year, so they aren’t as “real time” in updating the companies that make up the market segment. Examples of the types of securities asset classes may exclude are: • Highly regulated utilities • Investment funds • REITs • Recent IPOs • Share classes with foreign restrictions • Extreme financial distress or bankruptcy • Merger or target of acquisition • Insufficient liquidity

  • 15. 13 Flexibility Have you ever needed to take a flight at the last minute? Not only do you experience the frustration of limited flight options, but then there is the added expense. The same may be true of investing. Asset class funds have the kind of flexibility you wish you had when booking a last-minute flight. Asset class fund managers can trade when they can get the best price, both when they are buying and selling; index fund managers must buy a stock or bond only on the day it’s added to the published index. In fact, all index managers must do all trades on the same day, which may result in paying a higher price due to the short-term demand for the security. (See the chart for how changes to the index can affect pricing.) Factors of Return Drawing on years of investing research, including the work of 11 Nobel laureates, asset class investing pursues the known factors of return when constructing funds. These factors include size, value, and profitability. Investors — with the help of their financial advisors — need to decide how much exposure to these dimensions of return they are comfortable with, keeping in mind that the greater the expected long- term return, the greater the potential risk exposure. Stock Factors of Return Market Company Size Relative Price Expected Profitability Equity premium — stocks vs. bonds Small-cap premium — small vs. large companies Value premium — value vs. growth companies Profitability premium — high vs. low profitability companies ASSET CLASS INVESTING DRAWS ON THE WORK OF 11 NOBEL LAUREATES
  • 17. 15 A Portfolio for the Long Term When you are investing for up to a 30-year time horizon with a goal of not outliving your money, your implementation plan can be very important. Whatever happens in the economy and in markets over that time — recessions, recoveries, bear or bull markets — your portfolio has to be able to provide you with income. So how do you put the odds in your favor? If you simply invested all your money in a “market” index fund that tracks the S&P 500, you could miss out on the potential long-term benefits of a globally diversified asset class portfolio. Let’s see what the potential results could be for a newly retired couple … How can your portfolio increase your chances of retirement success?
  • 18. 16 Source: Morningstar Direct 2019. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. Indexes are unmanaged and reflect reinvested dividends and/or distributions, but do not reflect sales charges, commissions, expenses or taxes. The portfolio allocations are based on a Loring Ward model portfolio, which may not be suitable for all investors. It may not reflect the impact material economic and market factors might have had on decision-making if clients’ money were actually being managed at that time. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Portfolio returns are the weighted average returns of the respective funds, rebalanced annually. Actual rebalancing may be different. The performance quoted reflects the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Portfolio returns are after fund’s internal expenses and Loring Ward’s max investment management fee of 0.90% for all periods prior to April 1, 2017 and of 0.65% after April 1, 2017. Management fee may be lower depending on the assets under management. Portfolio performance does not reflect the deduction of any fees charged by an independent investment advisor or other service provider to an individual account. Such fees, if taken into consideration, will reduce the performance quoted above. The model performance information reflects various allocation changes made over time. Therefore, the underlying mutual funds used in calculating the portfolio performance may not represent the trailing returns of portfolios and/or the mutual funds currently available. Diversification neither assures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market. International markets involve additional risks, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuation, political instability, foreign taxes, and different methods of accounting and financial reporting. As a result, they may not be suitable investment options for everyone.

  • 19. 17 How Do Returns Compare? Let’s look at an example of a globally diversified asset class portfolio — in this case a “moderate” portfolio that is 65% stocks and 35% bonds — and compare it to the S&P 500 from 2000 through 2018, one of the worst times to start investing since there were two major market corrections and a recession. Over this time period, the Moderate Risk Portfolio had an annualized rate of return of around 4.92%. The S&P 500 returned 4.86% per year. In addition, there was less volatility (ups and downs in price) in the asset class portfolio than in the S&P Index: 12.74% versus 17.65%. Asset class investing and diversification do not guarantee a gain or protect from a loss. Utilizing asset class investing involves risks, including the loss of principal, that cannot be guaranteed against loss by a bank, custodian, or any other financial institution.

  • 21. 19 Most Investors Need Their Portfolios to Provide Income in Retirement Most retirees need to make regular withdrawals from their portfolios to sustain their lifestyle. This is why your portfolio should be able to sustain regular withdrawals throughout your retirement. Using the same portfolios over the same time period (2000-2018), let’s consider a newly retired 65-year-old couple with a $500,000 portfolio. At the start of every year, they withdraw 5% of the initial value ($25,000 of initial $500,000 starting value). This withdrawal is increased 3% each year to help the couple’s income keep pace with inflation. By 2018, the 65% stocks/35% bonds portfolio would be worth $237,239 (and this is after withdrawing $627,922 in income). Meanwhile, the S&P 500 portfolio ran out of money.
  • 23. 21 What Asset Class Investing Can Offer When it comes down to it, we think there are two numbers that matter above all else: 1 and 30. You may only have 1 chance to put together an investment plan that will last you 30 or more years in retirement. You need an approach that you can believe in and understand, one based on research, analysis, and evidence — not luck or prognostication. Asset class investing can offer: • Low overall costs • Tax efficiency • Global diversification • Consistent risk exposure to an asset class • Long-term performance that can potentially outperform index returns Because you can’t control the market, you need a plan that gives you the highest probability of being able to achieve your long-term goals. Do this by using asset class investing, along with the guidance and experience of a dedicated financial advisor. Asset class investing does not guarantee a gain or protect from a loss and involves risks, including the loss of principal. YOU NEED A PLAN THAT GIVES YOU THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF BEING ABLE TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS

Risk Disclosures Diversification and implementing an asset class or market-based investing strategy does not guarantee a profit or protect from a loss. All investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Stock investing involves risks, including increased volatility (up and down movement in the value ofyour assets) and loss of principal. Securities of small companies are often less liquid than those of large companies. As a result, small-company stocks may fluctuate relatively more in price. International and emerging market investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and political instability, and may not be suitable for all investors. Bonds (fixed income) are subject to market and interest rate risk if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline as interest rates rise and as issuer's creditworthiness declines, and are subject to availability and changes in price. REIT investments are subject to changes in economic conditions and real estate values, and credit and interest rate risks. Data Appendix
