Additional Disclosures

Opinions expressed are current as of the date appearing in this document only. This document is confidential and may not be reproduced or redistributed, in any form and by any means, without FFTW’s prior written consent.

This document is provided for your reference on a private and confidential basis to discuss an existing or potential advisory relationship. You are invited to meet with FFTW to discuss any of the information provided herein or otherwise, including any and all terms (including fees) that may apply to the relationship.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The value of investments and the income derived from those investments may fluctuate over time such that the value of a portfolio at any given point in time may be more or less than its original value.

No warranty is provided as to the performance or profitability of any portfolio or any part thereof, nor is any guarantee made that the investment objectives, expectations or targets described in this presentation or anywhere else will be achieved, including without limitation any risk control, risk management or return objectives, expectations or targets. A portfolio may suffer loss of principal, and income, if any, may fluctuate. The value of investments may be affected by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, economic and political developments, interest rates and issuer-specific events, market conditions, sector positioning, and other factors. Performance results presented reflect the reinvestment of earnings.

Performance results presented are gross of all fees, including management fees and, if applicable, performance fees. A portfolio’s returns will be reduced by all applicable fees and expenses. A description of management and performance fees is included in Part II of FFTW’s Form ADV.

Below is an illustration of the effect of management and performance fees (where applicable) on portfolio returns. The illustration assumes that (i) the portfolio had a steady excess return, gross of fees, of 1% per year (examples A & B), (ii) the portfolio was subject to a yearly management fee of 15 basis points of the market value of the portfolio (examples A & B), (iii) the portfolio was subject to an annual performance fee of 20 percent of the net excess return of the portfolio for the year (example B only), and (iv) there were no cash flows during the period (examples A & B). The illustration shows the compounding effect of management and performance fees (where applicable) on portfolio returns over time, assuming that other factors such as investment return and fees remain constant. The illustration below is simplified. The difference between gross-of-fees and net-of-fees performance return will in practice depend on a variety of factors. The illustration below is cumulative and not annualized.

These performance results may be presented by consultants to clients (or prospective clients) only in accordance with applicable law, including on a one-on-one basis and with required disclosures.

Target/expected returns represent results of statistical modeling of return ranges of asset classes. They are provided for informational purposes only as of a certain date. There is no assurance that the target/expected returns set forth in this presentation will be achieved. Target/expected returns are subject to high levels of uncertainty regarding future economic and market factors that may affect actual future performance. Accordingly, target/expected returns are hypothetical and should be viewed as merely representative of a broad range of possible returns. Target/expected returns should not be construed as providing any assurance or guarantee as to returns that may be realized in the future from investments in any asset or asset class described herein. Target/expected returns are based on a number of assumptions, they are subject to significant revision and may change materially with changes in underlying assumptions that may occur, among other things, as a result of changes in economic and market conditions. FFTW has no obligation to provide recipients hereof with updates or changes to this data as assumptions, economic and market conditions, models or other matters change.

The calculation of target/expected returns includes observations and/or assumptions and involves significant elements of subjective judgment and analysis. No representations are made as to the accuracy of such observations and/or assumptions and there can be no assurances that actual events will not differ materially from those assumed. In the event any of the assumptions used in this presentation do not prove to be true, results are likely to vary from those discussed herein.

Additional Disclosures

The past performance of the representative portfolio is shown for illustrative purposes only in connection with a consideration of the proposed strategy. It represents performance of a portfolio with a fundamental investment objective that is similar to the investment objective of the strategy under consideration. Past performance is not indicative of future performance, and, in addition, the past performance of the representative portfolio does not represent the past or future performance of any other portfolio. The performance of the portfolio under consideration may differ from the performance of the representative portfolio due to a number of factors including, without limitation, potentially differing rates of fees and expenses applicable to each such portfolio, cash levels, investment timing issues, and regulatory considerations that could impact the performance of each portfolio relative to the other.

Tracking volatility is one possible measurement of the dispersion of a portfolio’s returns from its stated benchmark. More specifically, it is the standard deviation of such excess returns. Tracking volatility is a figure that represents statistical expectations falling within a normal distribution of returns. Dependent on the measurement period, normal statistical distributions of returns suggests that approximately two thirds of the time the annual gross returns of the accounts will lie in a range equal to the benchmark return plus or minus the tracking volatility if the market behaves in a manner suggested by historical returns. Targeted tracking volatility therefore applies statistical probabilities (and the language of uncertainty) and so cannot be predictive of actual results. The returns that will actually be achieved may inherently lie outside of the range suggested by the historic tracking volatility. The actual tracking volatility is the result of many factors (including but not limited to market volatility, company specific anomalies, instability of correlation between benchmark holdings, timing differences between the calculation of the portfolio value and the valuation of the benchmark by the index provider). In addition, past tracking volatility is not indicative of future tracking volatility and there can be no assurance that the tracking volatility actually reflected in a portfolio will be at levels specified in the investment objectives.

Comparisons to a benchmark are provided for informational purposes only. While FFTW seeks to design a portfolio that reflects appropriate risk and return characteristics, including in respect of sector weights, credit quality and duration, it should be understood that such characteristics, as well as portfolio volatility, may deviate to varying degrees from those of the benchmark.

The risk management process described herein includes an effort to monitor and manage risk, but should not be confused with and does not imply low risk.

This document is not to be construed as an offer to buy or sell any financial instrument. It is presented only to provide information on investment strategies and current financial market trends.

In the event that any of the estimates or assumptions used in this presentation prove to be untrue, results are likely to vary from those discussed herein.

Please note that FFTW utilizes pricing sources and methodologies which reflect market practice, including its own valuations if FFTW determines that valuation data from independent sources is not available or is unreliable. However, your custodian, who maintains the official books and records for your portfolio, may utilize different pricing sources resulting in deviations between FFTW’s and the custodian’s valuations. Further, from time to time financial markets may suffer periods of illiquidity caused by unusual volatility or extreme disturbances and prices realized could vary widely from recent valuations.
