15. Four Approaches to Risk Management Passive Asset Allocation Market Timing Dynamic Asset Allocation Strategic Diversification

16. Pros and Cons of Passive Asset Allocation Definition: A portfolio statically allocated to funds representing different asset classes. Advantage: Risk is lower than the average risk of each asset class used. Disadvantage: Percentage allocations reviewed only quarterly Reallocations merely tweak the percentages Not responsive to the market Mediocre performance by definition Requires investor to throw good money after bad. Must sell winners to buy losers

17. Pros and Cons of Market Timing Definition:Tactically allocate the entire portfolio to the asset class that has the highest probability to advance. Advantage:When it works, you buy low and sell high. Disadvantages:Top-down signals can get out of synch with market Under-diversified; buys only asset class Funds used to implement the strategy can be out of synch with the market Does better the more active it is, that and 100% in/out trading cause fund relations problems

19. Further Validation Building on the Wagner, Shellans and Paul 1992 Study, a new study of market timers found: “We provide new evidence regarding the ability of professional market timers…Contrary to most prior research, we find evidence of significant ability across all tests and portfolios.” The Performance of Professional Market Timers, Chance and Hemler, Journal of Financial Economics, 2001

20. Pros and Cons of Dynamic Asset Allocation Definition: Weekly reallocation of portfolio to the funds that are performing best drawn from a universe of funds covering all the asset classes. Advantage: Responsive and diversified Rarely out of synch with the market Has delivered value added returns. Profits from 2 market inefficiencies – a rising trend tends to persist – momentum buys – regression to the mean – turnaround buys Cash - a safe haven when nothing else is working Disadvantage: Trendless periods lead to small whipsaw losses

35. Research Reports Disclosures The Research Report results are HYPOTHETICAL. See Glossary for explanation of testing methodologies. The performance results depicted have been produced by application of selected mathematical calculation criteria to historical price data. Annual returns are compounded weekly and are inclusive of the last full trading week of the year, but may not necessarily include the last trading day of the year. Research Report results are NOT represented as actual trading or client experience nor do they reflect the impact on decision making of economic or market factors experienced during actual management of funds . Performance between selected dates may be misleading as indicative of overall performance of a strategy since the dates, chosen by the operator of the program, are susceptible of having been selected to present optimum performance. Investment advisory fees vary between 1% and 2.6% yearly, dependent upon assets under management and are deducted quarterly. Expenses of the funds are included to the extent they are reflected in the NAV. Other fees may apply. The maximum Strategic Solutions establishment fee of 1.2% has been deducted from the initial balance. All expenses are required to be disclosed in each investment ’s prospectus, available from your financial representative and the product provider. Distributions have been reinvested. When provided, dividends are reinvested for indexes. In those cases where indexes do not provide dividend information, those returns would be understated. As individual tax rates vary, taxes have not been considered. Various minimum holding periods for each fund may be utilized to comply with trading restrictions. Advisor reserves the right to change these periods. No index is directly tradable. Actual investment performance of any trading strategy may frequently be materially different than the results shown. Some funds used in the model may not be available for future use. As supplemental information, a listing of all assumed trades and other data used to generate the referenced results is available upon request. PAST RESEARCH REPORT RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. See FPI Research Report and Glossary for details.

36. Disclosure Page "Model Account Summary" Rate of Return Report "Model Account" results for the identified investment management strategy shown, are time weighted monthly geometrically linked returns and, to facilitate timely month-end reporting, are from single reviewed accounts as representative of returns which reflect actual fund families and reflect the actual dates of Flexible Plan's buy and sell signals. If an account terminates during a period, an alternative single account is substituted. Selection of accounts to serve as "model accounts" is based on the longevity of the account and least amount of additions and withdrawals. Accordingly, many of the single accounts serving as 'models' are titled in the name of Flexible's President and sole shareholder, a person related to Flexible. Enhancements have been made in several of our methodologies on numerous occasions, which is believed to have had a positive effect on returns. The extent is not precisely quantifiable, but as these are actual returns, the effect of these enhancements is reflected. Efforts to develop indicators are ongoing and may result in further changes. Dividends are reinvested. Mutual fund or annuity results will vary based upon their volatility as they relate to the S&P 500 Index or other indices that may be shown. Specific mutual funds, sub-accounts or indices may materially outperform or under perform these results. Various mutual funds or sub-accounts used in the model may no longer be available due to fund consolidations and exchange conditions imposed by the funds or annuity. Reference to popular market indexes are included to demonstrate the market environment during the period shown and are not intended as 'benchmarks.' Such indexes may not be comparable to the identified investment strategy due to the differences between the indexes' and the strategies' objectives, diversification, represented industries, number and type of component investments, their volatility and the weight ascribed to them. No index is a directly tradable investment. Strategic Solutions fees are deducted quarterly at the annual rate of 2.6%. Actual fees will vary between 1.0% and 2.6% annually. The maximum Strategic Solutions Establishment Fee of 1.2% has been deducted from the initial balance. All mutual fund fees and expenses are included to the extent they are reflected in net asset value; other non-advisory fees may apply. As individual tax rates vary, taxes have not been considered.
