Quarterly Considerations

Plan Sponsors

Non-Profit Organizations

The Wealth Office™

Tips on TDFs - The DoL issued new guidance on target date funds (TDFs), stating that plan sponsors should understand the distinctions between custom-built, non-proprietary and proprietary offerings. Please join us for a May 29th webinar, “TDF Best Practices, Oversight and Customization”. Settle Up -The proposed SEAL Act would give workers who leave their jobs up until they file their federal taxes to repay money taken out of a retirement plan. It would also allow employees to contribute to their 401(k) plans during the 6 months following a hardship withdrawal. Steady Decline - Employer-sponsored defined benefit pension plans fell to an all-time low of 22,697 in 2012. Except for a slight uptick from in 2007, the number of private-sector defined benefit plans has declined every year since 1995. Funding Status - Pension funding ratios fell in 2012 to 77.2% as the impact of low interest rates offset strong asset gains, according to a Milliman study. Declining interest rates have widened the pension funding deficit by more than $150 billion since the end of 2010, driving record deficits in each of the last two years. eGiving - The sum charities raised online last year grew 21 percent and the number of Internet donations they received climbed 20 percent, according to the 2013 eNonprofit Benchmarks Study. One of the brightest spots was monthly giving, which grew by 43 percent. Privacy Issues - Not-for-profit foundations have for the first time become the most common type of investors in private equity. Foundations make up 15% of all investors in the industry globally. Pension funds and endowments were the next biggest backers of private equity, in terms of investor numbers. Fix It - The IRS added to its "self-help" resources a "403(b) Plan Fix-It Guide" to provide guidance more specifically directed at 403(b) plan sponsors that identify qualification or operational plan failures under their plans.

Happy Anniversary - 2013 marks the 100th anniversary of the IRS Form-1040 and the imposition of the federal income tax. We’re guessing this is one anniversary few will celebrate. With all the recent changes to the tax laws, The Wealth OfficeTM can help you ensure your investment portfolio is optimized with respect to your personal tax situation. Spring Clean-Up - The early part of the year is a great time to review your personal financial situation to ensure all your bases are covered. From a retirement cash flow analysis to a review of your existing insurance policies, The Wealth OfficeTM can help you identify areas that require further attention. Tax Time Scams - Tax time is stressful enough on its own, but it’s also a time of increased fraudulent activity. Beware of phony tax preparation solicitations, online tax refund scams, and phishing attempts disguised as IRS emails. If you have any questions about unsolicited attempts to garner your financial information, please contact The Wealth OfficeTM. 401(Cap) - President Obama’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2014 includes a lifetime cap on tax-deferred savings accounts such as IRAs and 401(k)s. As proposed, the cap would limit an individual’s total balance across such accounts to the amount necessary for someone age 62 to buy an annuity generating $205,000 in annual payments – or a total of $3.4 million in today’s terms. The Wealth OfficeTM can answer any questions you may have about how this proposal could impact your investment portfolio.

• Fixed income returns were muted with little changed over the quarter. A stronger dollar offset most price appreciation of Global index returns. Corporate credit performed well despite relatively flat credit spreads.

• With a last minute agreement on the ‘fiscal cliff’ and postponement of sequestration and debt ceiling debates until the second quarter, animal spirits were alive pushing domestic indexes near all time highs.

• Despite the effects of the Cyprus bailout near the end of the quarter, international developed stocks posted positive returns, but trailed domestic equities. Emerging markets trailed as they faced headwinds from weaker commodity prices and concern over economic growth in China.

U.S. Economy

• U.S. GDP increased at an annual quarter-over-quarter rate of 0.4% for the prior quarter. Positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE) and residential and nonresidential fixed investment were partly offset by negative contributions from private inventory investment, exports, and federal, state and local government spending.

• The first quarter GDP advance estimate is due out on April 26th, 2013.

• CPI rose more than expected in February due to rising food prices and the largest increase in gas prices in more than three years, before falling in March as gas prices tumbled. Year-over-year inflation remains within the Fed’s 2% target range.

• Given the Federal Reserve’s benign intermediate

term inflation outlook, the central bank reaffirmed its commitment to purchase bonds at a pace of $85 billion per month until there is a substantial improvement in the unemployment rate.

U.S. Economy

• The U.S. Census Bureau reported that March housing starts rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,036,000. Despite the continued upward trend, starts remain at less than half their pre-recession peak. Meanwhile, permits for new construction rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 902,000, down slightly from February levels.

• Home prices continued their winning streak of year-

over-year gains with the 20-city S&P/Case-Shiller Index posting a 6.8% increase in the fourth quarter from a year earlier.

• The index of leading economic indicators (LEI) advanced 0.5% in February after a 0.5% gain in January and a 0.4% increase in December.

• February’s increase - the third consecutive - was widespread and driven by a majority of the LEI components with particularly large contributions from financial indicators and building permits. However, consumer expectations for business conditions and manufacturers’ new orders for nondefense capital goods remain weak.

International Economies

• The recession in the 17-member Eurozone deepened during the final quarter of 2012 with the economy contracting at an annual quarter-over-quarter rate of 0.6%, its worst performance in almost four years.

• Japan’s central bank set a 2% inflation target and stepped up its monetary

stimulus program in an attempt to combat deflation, which has plagued the country for nearly two decades. Haruhiko Kuroda, who was confirmed as the new Bank of Japan governor, has long advocated aggressive monetary easing to fight deflation.

• In the emerging markets, China kept its GDP growth target for 2013

unchanged at 7.5% amid moderating growth. Brazil’s economic growth was dismal as demand for commodities slowed. China and the European Union account for nearly 40% of Brazilian exports.

• Nominal U.S. treasuries, U.S. TIPS, U.S. investment- grade corporates and emerging markets debt markets were little changed during the quarter.

• U.S. high yield continued to outperform all other fixed income in the current low yield environment, and the asset class has outperformed treasuries by approximately 10% over the last year.

• Due to the yen’s considerable deprecation relative to the U.S. dollar, Asian denominated bonds declined significantly for U.S. investors.

• The Barclays European Aggregate declined during the quarter after the European Union was forced to bail out Cyprus and restructure the country’s banking system.

Source: Bloomberg

• The yield curve steepened modestly on the long end of the curve as a result of generally positive economic data, including strong housing results.

• Longer maturities sold off due to higher duration securities being more sensitive to heightened long-term inflation expectations as the result of the Fed’s new commitment requiring a further increase in the money supply.

• The ten-year Treasury rate reached a high of 2.05% in early March before falling modestly as a result of fresh global macroeconomic fears associated with the E.U.’s bailout of Cyprus. • The ten-year breakeven rate remained flat during the

quarter, which was due to a slight yield pick up in the ten-year treasury yield being largely offset by a corresponding decline in the ten-year TIPS yield.

• Overall, the short and intermediate part of the real yield curve remained negative within a range of -0.6% to -1.5%, and the 20- and 30-year maturities remained at modestly positive real yields.

• Market implied inflation of 2.5% remained right on top of the Fed’s recently released threshold for the metric, which suggests the Fed beginning a tightening cycle remains unlikely in the near term.

• Investment-grade credit spreads ticked down by approximately ten basis points each during the quarter as U.S. investment-grade issuers’ balance sheets remain strong.

• Financial bond spreads tightened by 13 basis points on improving loan quality associated with growing capital levels and reductions in leverage; financial spreads are now only five basis points wider than industrials due to strong performance over the last year.

• Investment-grade corporate issuance remained strong during the quarter due to both low historical U.S. rates and low credit spreads that can finance corporate growth projects cheaply relative to historical rates. • Interest in high yield remains strong among

investors, and spreads tightened by 150, 40, and 30 basis points for CCC-, B-, and BB- rated debt, respectively.

• Asset flows into high yield mutual funds and ETFs slowed during the first quarter, and investor appetite shifted to leveraged loan strategies as evident by an estimate by JPMorgan of $11.7 billion of fund inflows into the fairly new asset class during the first quarter.

• According to JPMorgan, high yield recovery rates have increased to greater than 80%, which is almost double the average rate of 42% observed over the last 25 years.

• Disparity remains in the Eurozone with ten-year German bunds trading at significant premiums to Greek, Spanish, and Italian bonds despite the ECB’s explicit commitment to support the bond markets of overleveraged nations.

• Yields in Brazil, Russia, and India highlight continued inflation fears in emerging markets.

• Many developed market currencies depreciated against the U.S. dollar during the quarter, especially the yen, which continues to weaken due to the central bank’s economic stimulation efforts to fight deflation.

• Value stocks continued their push ahead of growth stocks across the capitalization spectrum with the exception of small caps.

• In contrast to the fourth quarter, some domestic defensive sectors outperformed in the first quarter with health care stocks leading the way.

• At the country level, the U.S. gain of 10.7% was only outpaced by Japan with an

11.7% gain. The country was helped by a weaker yen and monetary easing from the Japanese Central Bank.

• Despite the turmoil from the controversial Cyprus bailout and low economic growth, the Eurozone posted positive equity returns for the quarter.

• Emerging markets equities trailed due to weaker commodity prices and concern over

economic growth out of China. China posted the worst returns of the BRIC countries for the quarter with a return of -4.5%.

Source: Bloomberg & Standard & Poor's

• Earnings growth has contributed heavily to the stock rally after the 2008 financial crisis.

• As earning growth slows (see chart below), higher prices on equities will likely rely more on higher multiples.

• The S&P 500 ended the first quarter of 2013 with a trailing 12-month P/E of 15.5x, which compares to an average trailing 12-month P/E of 16.4x over the prior 10-year time period.

• The large earnings expansion that happened after the 2008 financial crisis has been led mainly by margin expansion as opposed to revenue growth.

• In the previous two quarters, margin growth turned slightly negative and dragged down earnings growth.

• It is likely that future earnings growth with have to rely more heavily on revenue growth to continue increasing.

• Domestic REITs delivered strong returns across a variety of subsectors. Small-caps and lower quality companies with higher dividends also outperformed.

• Small-caps benefited from fund inflows,

improvements in secondary markets and a decline in their relative cost of capital.

• A continued recovery in the housing market caused apartment REITs to lag. The Industrial sector’s outperformance was driven by solid fourth quarter results and future growth expectations.

• Globally, REITs rallied for the quarter driven by strength in Japan and the U.S.

• Japan outperformed thanks to the central banks' quantitative easing measures. China and Singapore declined over restrictive demand-oriented policies.

underperformance to the S&P 500 in 2012.

• Midstream MLPs exposed to growing basins in the crude oil transportation and storage subsectors outperformed.

• Energy commodities gained as natural gas and crude oil outperformed. Colder than forecasted weather drove natural gas prices.

First Quarter 2013

Returns for nominal U.S. treasuries, U.S. TIPS, U.S. investment grade corporates and emerging markets debt instruments were little changed during the quarter. The U.S. yield curve steepened modestly on the long end of the curve as a result of generally positive economic data, including strong housing results. Longer maturities sold off due to higher duration securities being more sensitive to heightened long-term inflation expectations as the result of the Fed’s new commitment requiring a further increase in the money supply. The ten-year Treasury rate reached a high of 2.05% in early March before falling modestly as a result of fresh global macroeconomic fears associated with the E.U.’s bailout of Cyprus. U.S. high yield continued to outperform all other fixed income in the current low yield environment, and the asset class has outperformed treasuries by approximately 10% over the last year. Interest in the space remains strong among investors, and spreads tightened by 150, 40, and 30 basis points for CCC, B, and BB rated debt, respectively. Investment grade g g , p g y , , p , , , p y gcredit spreads ticked down by approximately ten basis points each during the quarter as U.S. investment-grade issuers’ balance sheets remain strong. Financial spreads tightened by 13 basis points on improving loan quality associated with growing capital levels and reductions in leverage; financial spreads are now only five basis points wider than industrials due to strong performance over the last year. Globally, disparity remains in the Eurozone with ten-year German bunds trading at significant premiums to Greek, Spanish, and Italian bonds despite the ECB’s explicit commitment to support the bond markets of overleveraged nations. The Barclays European Aggregate declined during the quarter after the European Union was forced to bail out Cyprus and restructure the country’s banking system. Yields in Brazil, Russia, and India highlight continued inflation fears in emerging markets. Many developed market currencies depreciated against the U.S. dollar during the quarter, especially the yen, which continues to weaken due to the central bank’s economic stimulation efforts to fight deflation. Due to the yen’s considerable deprecation relative to the U.S. dollar, Asian denominated bonds declined significantly for U.S. investors.

Overall, the short and intermediate part of the real yield curve remains negative within a range of -0.6% to -1.5%, and the 20- and 30-year maturities remained at modestly positive real yields. Market implied inflation of 2.5% remained right on top of the Fed’s recently released threshold for the metric, which suggests the Fed beginning a tightening cycle remains unlikely in the near term.

Lower quality BBB and non-investment grade bonds outperformed higher quality issues, with BBB-rated bonds returning 1.04% and non-investment grade municipals returning 1.97%. Market technicals were challenged during the tax season, which is typical, as some investors will withdrawal funds from munis to meet tax obligations. Higher personal income tax rates should begin to benefit the tax-exempt market once tax season ends, assuming congressional tax reform doesn’t force investors to question the viability of the asset class’ tax-exempt status. State and local governments have seen a steady rise in state tax revenues overall, but questions remain about the long-term ability to fund pension and health care benefits.

Foreign bonds generated returns of 1.1% and -3.5% on a hedged and unhedged basis, respectively during the quarter.

High Yield U.S. high yield continued to outperform all other fixed income in the current low yield environment, and the asset class has outperformed treasuries by approximately 10% over the last year. Interest in the space remains strong among investors, and spreads tightened by 150, 40, and 30 basis points for CCC, B, and BB rated debt, respectively during the quarter. According to JPMorgan, high yield recovery rates have increased to greater than 80%, which is almost double the average rate of 42% observed over the last 25 years. Asset flows into high yield mutual funds and ETFs slowed during the first quarter, and investor appetite shifted to leveraged loan strategies as evident by an estimate by JPMorgan of $11.7 billion of fund inflows into the fairly new asset class during the first quarter.

Balanced U.S. equities advanced during the first quarter as the economy continued to show signs of improvement, and investors were able to shrug off renewed concerns about the Eurozone debt crisis despite the terms of the Cyprus bailout.

Treasuries fell slightly amid better than expected economic data and a steepening yield curve. Lower quality, higher yielding corporate securities performed strongly during the quarter. Mortgage-backed securities were essentially flat due to investor concerns over rising rates.

First Quarter 2013

The domestic equity rally that began in November of last year on the back of a last minute fiscal cliff deal continued on through the first quarter producing impressive gains and pushed domestic equities to near all-time highs. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average each produced double digit gains of 10.6% and 11.9% respectively. The NASDAQ Composite trailed with a return of 8.5% for the quarter as the technology heavy index did not participate as much from leading sectors such as health care and consumer staples. Despite the controversial conclusion of the Cyprus bailout near the end of the quarter, developed Europe posted positive gains as well with the MSCI EAFE Index returning 5.2%. Japan posted another impressive quarter after the Japanese Central Bank executed its stimulus strategy. Japanese stocks rose 21.3% while the yen weakened 9.7% to the dollar over the same time period. The emerging markets were the laggards for the first quarter of 2013. Facing the headwind of falling commodity prices and concerns of Chinese economic g g gg q g g y pgrowth most emerging countries indexes were negative for the quarter. China, a large portion of many emerging market indexes, returned -4.5% for the quarter. It was the worst return of the BRIC countries.

Large Cap Value Large cap value stocks outperformed their large cap growth counterparts. For the quarter, the Russell 1000 Value Index advanced 12.3%, the Russell 1000 Growth Index ended up 9.5%, and the Russell 1000 Index gained 11%. Across market capitalizations, large cap stocks marginally underperformed small-cap issues. Despite the market rally, the quarter was not a traditional “risk on” environment. Instead, investors seemed to be cautiously balancing the positive economic news in the U.S. against renewed concerns about the Eurozone debt crisis and survival of the currency union following the bailout in Cyprus. For example, the more defensive healthcare, consumer staples, and utilities sectors all outperformed, while several cyclical sectors underperformed, including materials. Particularly weak performances from gold mining and platinum/precious metals stocks held back gains within materials.

L C CLarge Cap Core The S&P 500 Index ended the quarter at a record high, effectively recouping all of its losses since the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Healthcare, consumer staples and utilities were among the top performing sectors, while materials, technology and telecom lagged. No investment style emerged as a favorite as growth fared best among small-cap names, but trailed among large-caps. Meanwhile, smaller-cap issues generally outperformed larger-cap companies. While the economic picture continues to improve, headwinds remain as 2013 gets under way. U.S. lawmakers appear gridlocked in the debate surrounding the budget, with Democrats resisting cuts to entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, while Republicans continue to push back against higher taxes In Europe the Cyprus bailout left many wondering if the heavy losses inflicted on Cypriot depositors would be the template for other Eurozonehigher taxes.

First Quarter 2013

Down trends in a variety of commodities continued both during the quarter and into April. Declines were caused by concerns over prospects for global growth, rising production and events in Cyprus. Weakness in industrial metals was particularly driven by macroeconomic and financial outlooks. Energy was the best performing sector, led by natural gas. Larger than expected storage withdrawals caused natural gas to finish the quarter near its highest level in 18 months. WTI crude outperformed Brent as weak physical demand and technicals weighed on Brent. Grain prices plunged due to demand being weaker than forecast and healthy supply levels globally. Silver, platinum and palladium also performed poorly but investors are most concerned about gold’s continuing decline from its peak in September 2011. Lower demand and macroeconomic weakness in China are a few of the primary drivers.

Global Real Estate Asia rallied, led by strength in Japanese REITs and developers. Improved office market fundamentals and expectations of cap rate compression from expansionary policy measures led to gains. Hong Kong and China rallied early in the quarter but concerns over restrictive policy measures negatively influenced results. European REITs declined due to flat real estate fundamentals and currency movements as both the EUR and GBP weakened significantly against the USD. Both the UK and the Eurozone performed poorly. Sweden and Greece were the best performing countries for the quarter. Domestic REITs produced solid gains across almost every sector. Strong NOI growth coupled with access to capital and investors search for yield drove performance. Private real estate values for prime, high quality assets have fully recovered to peak levels achieved in mid-2007. Lower levels of new supply continued during the quarter with multi-family and apartments being the only sector near historic norms. Smaller market cap names outperformed their larger market cap peers as investors focused on dividend yield and FFO multiples. The suburban office subsector rallied along with an uptick in leasing momentum in secondary markets with jobs growth. Strong fundamentals in industrial REITs led to gains. Healthcare REITs rallied, benefiting from the demand for dividend yield and lower regulatory concerns.

H d F d (b d li i t di t H d F d R h I )Hedge Funds (based on preliminary reports according to Hedge Fund Research, Inc.)Hedge fund returns during the first quarter were positive and broad based. Event driven produced solid results throughout the quarter as continued strength in the corporate transaction environment drove returns in activist and distressed special situations strategies. Equity hedge was the best performing strategy as fundamental value biased managers were able to participate during the market rally. Technology and healthcare sectors outperformed, while short-biased and emerging markets focused managers lagged due to upward market technicals and softening economic data, specifically in India and Eastern Europe. Relative value continued to benefit from structured credit and arbitrage sub strategies. Alternative yielding strategies also produced outsized gains. Tactical trading managers delivered muted positive results during the quarter Systematic trading strategies delivered favorable results while commoditiesTactical trading managers delivered muted positive results during the quarter. Systematic trading strategies delivered favorable results while commodities detracted, specifically metals trading. Fund of hedge funds produced solid returns during the quarter but modestly underperformed direct hedge funds. After producing positive results in nine of ten months the industry reached a new high water mark in March, and those investors that are putting capital to work are gravitating toward equity and event driven strategies.

Energy MLPs were one of the strongest performing asset classes during the quarter. Results were aided by relatively strong earnings and a record total of $4.7 billion being raised during the first quarter of 2013 for publicly-traded MLP products. However, firms will be able to put the money to work due to continuing strong growth, supported by significant organic capital spending opportunities. Following the quarterly advance, MLP yields are trading near one standard deviation wide relative to a variety of benchmarks, including REITs and BBB bonds. Yorkville noted that all of its sector indexes posted positive total returns during the quarter, with five sectors returning more than 20%. Crude oil & refined products subsectors outperformed during the quarter. The continued increase in North American oil production along with a cost advantage over imported crude led to strong fundamentals and pipeline volumes.

Aside from evaluating manager performance in absolute terms or in relation to a peer group, a benchmark is typically used to represent “the market” for an assetclass. It is often a mandate for investment managers to relate their respective investment strategies to an appropriate benchmark index as a tool for investors toobjectively discern if a manager has added value above the market return while also taking into account their cost

objectively discern if a manager has added value above the market return while also taking into account their cost.

Fixed income indexes complicate this dynamic to the extent that index replication is often prohibitively difficult. Furthermore, in areas such as High Yield, indexexposure to largely “uninvestable” risky sectors of the High Yield universe exacerbates the difficulties of fund managers who use the index as a proxy for marketperformance. Accordingly, recent High Yield manager underperformance must be qualified within the context of the current market environment and what factorshave subsidized index returns.Figure 1:

Illiquidity, transaction costs, and high turnover of constituentsecurities make it both difficult and expensive for fixed incomeportfolio managers to replicate a fixed income index.

In addition to the inherent issues in fixed income indexing, HighYield indexes are also comprised of securities that many fundmanagers wish to avoid altogether In a 2012 study the BofAp ( p)

managers wish to avoid altogether. In a 2012 study, the BofAMerrill Lynch US High Yield Benchmark was broken out by itsexposure to various risk sectors. Figure 1 illustrates theappreciably high percentage of the index that is comprised ofinvestments often considered “uninvestable” by fund managersdue to their contributions to overall risk.

YTW - The yield to w orst represents the low est potential yield that can be received on a bond w ithout the issuer actually defaulting.STW - Spread to w orst measures the difference from the w orst performing security to the best, and can be seen as a measure of dispersion of returns w ithin a given market.*Challenged industries include airlines, real estate development and management, and building and construction.

Relative underperformance to the index must be consideredwithin the context of how the current rate environment is affectingHigh Yield index returns. Active management lagging wheninvestors are “reaching for yield” may demonstrate the high-quality biases in-play for many strategies.

Passive Investing in High Yield:

Further evidence of the prohibitive difficulties in matching High Yield index

Figure 2:

p g greturns can be seen in the relative performance of passively managed HighYield ETFs in this space.

Passive ETFs in any asset class differ from their actively managedcounterparts insofar as they allow investors to capture the beta of themarket, while foregoing alpha generating opportunities.

The Blackrock iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) andState Street SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond ETF (JNK) compriseapproximately 89% of the now nearly $32 billion in High Yield ETF assets.1

Given the passive nature of these investments, portfolio managementfocuses on tracking an index that primarily consists of the High Yieldfocuses on tracking an index that primarily consists of the High Yieldmarket’s most liquid issues. There is less of a focus on selecting qualitycredits, which translates into a considerable drag on performance when themarket pulls back.

Historical ETF relative performance as seen in Figure 2 demonstrates theinherent issues in trying to replicate index performance. Despite offering themost favorable passive investment terms, both HYG and JNK lag thestandard High Yield benchmark by considerable margins over trailingperiods. In fact, both funds show a history of ranking amongst the bottomhalf of the High Yield peer group.

Conclusion:

Investors should be aware of the unique nature of High Yield indexes when evaluating manager performance in the High Yield space. Illiquidity, transactioncosts, and exposure to risky segments of the market make it exceedingly difficult for an active manager to add value above the index return in strong up-marketswhen quality issues tend to lag. Indeed, these difficulties are too pervasive for even the most liquid High Yield ETFs to consistently track index performance. Thisinsight is particularly pertinent in a market environment such as the current one where investors have displayed a seemingly insatiable appetite for yield.

FUND OBJECTIVE

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

The fund seeks to provide inflation protection and income consistent with investment in inflation-indexed securities. It primarily invests in inflation-indexed bonds issued by the U.S. government. It may invest in bonds of any maturity, though the fund typically maintains a dollar-weightedmaturity of seven to 10 years. Up to 20% of the assets may be invested in non-inflation-indexed securities, including investment grade corporatedebt and U.S. government and agency bonds. At a minimum, all bonds purchased will be rated “investment grade.”

The Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Index returned 0.69%.The Inflation-Protected Securities Fund closely tracked the TIPS index andthe average return of its peers. The fund invests almost exclusively in TIPS, but its holdings may slightly vary from the index, and its performancecan vary from that of competing funds, which may hold other types of securities.During the quarter, 10-year break-even rates widened from 2.43% to 2.51% as inflationary concerns increased following the Federal Reserve'sannouncement of a third round of QE.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

FUND OBJECTIVE

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

This fund is managed to take full advantage of the 35% limit on below investment-grade bonds, which tends to generate a higher risk/rewardprofile. In addition, management is willing to take on added interest rate risk through obtaining longer-duration bonds in order to gain higher yields.To ease some of this interest rate risk, the fund is structured with counter cyclical elements. In doing so, it will utilize convertible bonds, municipalbonds, preferred stocks and foreign corporate and government bonds, in addition to the domestic corporate bonds which make up the majority of

the fund.

PIMCO seeks current income consistent with preservation of capital. The process begins with a top-down review of the global economy andinterest rates. Management looks at the most likely near term scenario with regard to interest rate volatility, yield curve shape, and credit trends.

Once the larger trends are established, they focus on selecting high-quality fixed income securities through the use of proprietary research.

The fund outperformed in the fourth quarter as a result of improved market sentiment from further quantitative easing programs announced bythe Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank.The fund remains underweight to government-related securities, and is positioned with an overweight to TIPS (especially long-term maturities),an underweight to nominal treasuries, and an overweight to the “belly of the curve” (5-10 year maturities).The fund is positioned with an underweight position to investment grade credit, but remains overweight to financial corporates due to spreadsremaining attractive despite recent outperformance in the sector.Although the fund remains underweight to credit as a whole, PIMCO views the fund’s tactical positions in municipal bonds and “Build America Bonds” as more attractive substitutes to credit that are trading at more attractive yield spreads above treasuries than are other traditionalinvestment grade credits.The fund’s overweight to mortgages was reduced during the quarter as a result of recent outperformance in the sector as a result of theannouncement of QE3.The fund’s foreign holdings are positioned in Canadian, Italian and Spanish issues, with the latter two being viewed as attractive mainly due tothe ECB’s continued support for troubled euro-denominated sovereign bonds.

FUND OBJECTIVE

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

The fund utilizes a bottom-up, fundamental, value-oriented approach to analyze the issuer's business prospectus, management, capitalrequirements, capital structure, enterprise value, and security structure and covenants. Credit analysts focusing solely on high yield havesignificant influence on buy/sell decisions, industry weighting, and risk profile within an industry. The analysts keep a performance rating on eachindustry they follow, which determines relative weightings in the portfolio. Relative positions within each industry in terms of credit quality alsoresult from analyst ratings. Management may shift from weaker to stronger credits and from cyclical to non-cyclical sectors if they believe the

economic environment will weaken and vice versa if they believe the economy will strengthen.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, security selection in the basic materials and information technology sectors detracted from performanceresults. At the industry level, an underweight position in basic materials, along with an overweight position in transportation, also provednegative.On the positive side, security selection in the capital goods, consumer cyclicals, consumer non-cyclicals and finance sectors contributed toreturns. Industry over/underweights were neutral for returns in the quarter.

The fund underperformed modestly during the quarter resulting from its overweight to Mexico and underweights to such strong performers asTurkey and Hungary.The fund remains overweight to local duration as yields are expected to decline as EM inflation concerns abate.Selective overweights to the Brazilian Real and Russian Ruble are the result of the Brazilian central bank’s desire to keep rates low and positivecurrent account dynamics in Russia.EM corporates and quasi-sovereigns continue to remain attractive in Brazil, Mexico, Russia, and South Korea for yield pickup when compared totheir sovereign counterparts.

Positioning within information technology contributed positively during the fourth quarter. Finland-based Nokia surged 53% amid favorable newsfor its new Lumina smartphone and optimism over the company’s expansion plans in China.Within financials, higher quality lending-oriented banks which are beneficiaries of stable-to-slightly rising U.S. housing prices, aided results.Performing particularly well was Bank of America, which rallied 32% during the quarter.Elsewhere, the fund’s positioning within the consumer discretionary space aided results. Notable contributors were media-related holdings.Comcast advanced 5% after posting better-than-expected subscriber growth and higher average revenue per user. Time Warner alsocontributed positively, rising 6%.On the negative side, holdings within the energy and industrial-related sectors detracted. Conglomerate General Electric fell 7% after earningsmissed expectations.GE reported that order growth had slowed as businesses remained cautious.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

FUND OBJECTIVE

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

The investment style focuses on high quality small cap companies with long term sustainable growth in the 15 – 20% range. Ideas are generatedapproximately equally across three sources – quantitative screening; regional, boutique brokers; and company contacts through industryconferences, trade shows or other research. Fundamental research is focused on strong earnings and ROE growth, a low debt to capitalization

rate, strong balance sheet, and a solid management team. The portfolio is fairly concentrated at 45 – 50 stocks with turnover around 30%.

Turnover : 16%The fund outperformed it benchmark index for the quarter on the back of strong sector allocation mitigating modest declines from stockselection.Overweights to producer durables and technology as well as an underweight to healthcare generated strong sector allocation effects. Sector positioning continues to remain purely a residual of the bottom-up stock selection process, however.Stock selection was more mixed in the fourth quarter, detracting from relative return. Strong stock selection was experienced in the healthcareand technology sectors in particular. Within healthcare, National Research Corp and Abaxis Inc. were among the top performers, eachdelivering solid quarterly revenue and earnings results. NRCI also benefited from the declaration of a special dividend ahead of the fiscal cliff.Within technology, Stratays Ltd. was the strategy’s strongest contributor for the quarter and calendar year, with excitement building for thecompany’s 3-D printing technology and the successful closing of its merger with Objet Ltd.Stock selection was weakest in the producer durables sector, led by the weaker returns of Raven Industries Inc. and FARO Technologies Inc.Both names experienced lower-than-expected revenue and earnings growth over the quarter.Relative performance was also impacted by the absence of any airline stocks, which contributed to the Index’s strong performance during thequarter.

However, strong stock selection helped mitigatelosses, with Societe Generale and Agricultural Bank of China aiding results.Within IT, Chinese internet company Baidu disappointed, while Japan’s Softbank led the telecom sector lower. Softbank made headlines when itannounced plans to buy a majority stake in U.S.-based Sprint Nextel. The stock tumbled on concerns about the company’s debt burden and itsability to achieve synergies with Sprint.Meanwhile, the funds underweight to energy, particularly some of the larger major European oil companies, was helpful, as the sector fell due toconcerns about declining use of power and energy resources amid slowing economic activity.The fund’s auto-related holdings also contributed positively. Volkswagen and BMW benefited from hopes of a growth pick-up in the U.S. andChina.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

FUND OBJECTIVE

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

The fund seeks to invest in high quality companies when they are trading at a discounted price. High quality companies are defined as those withrecurring revenue growth, a quality management team, a “core” business, and strong balance sheet. Fundamental research is conducted byAberdeen's global team to understand the growth prospects of the firm and the quality of the financials. The valuation metrics used are determined by the type of company and its economic sector. Within risk controls, portfolios are constructed on a bottom-up basis using a very long-termoutlook that has led to a low turnover rate, but can also produce higher tracking error. The portfolio will typically hold 50 - 70 securities. Expensecap of 0.95% expires on 11/23/11. Expenses after 11/23 will reflect actual fees capped at 1.10% through 2/27/13 (reviewed annually thereafter).Actual fees were 1.05% for the year ending 10/31/10.

Istanbul-based Akbank (+28%) was the fund’s top performing holding, benefiting froma bright outlook for future profits. Turkiye Garanti Bankasi was another notable contributor, rising 20%.Meanwhile, the fund benefited from its avoidance of Russian oil giant Gazprom which lagged due to lower gas sales to Europe.Within Latin America, the fund’s overweight position to Brazilian iron ore producer Vale (+20%) contributed positively amid hopes for stronger demand from China.In Emerging Asia, the fund benefited from underweight positions to both South Korea and Taiwan, which lagged the broader emerging markets.

The community centers, net lease, hotels, and industrials sectors contributed to quarterly outperformance. Health care REITs and the officesector were the two primary areas of relative underperformance.Within the community center sector, two underweight positions within the grocery anchor sub-category bolstered relative returns.Strong stock selection within a variety of industrial REITs led to outperformance.A continued underweight to heath care REITs detracted from results as the sector was the second best-performing area for the quarter. The team reduced the underweight during the quarter but still believes it is warranted given the sector’s lofty valuations and political risk.Performance was impacted negatively by the Fund’s underweight to small cap REITs.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

FUND OBJECTIVE

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

The fund combines a position in commodity-linked derivative instruments, primarily swaps through an offshore subsidiary, with an actively

managed portfolio principally consisting of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). The derivatives only require the fund to hold around 15%

of its assets as collateral. The commodity-linked derivatives capture the return potential and diversification benefits of the commodity futures

market, while PIMCO's active fixed income management seeks to outperform T-Bills, net of fees. The strategy has the added advantage of

benefiting concurrently from the inflation hedging properties of both commodity futures and TIPS (Double Real).

The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the quarter. Contributions came from TIPS duration and curve positioning.During 2012, the Fund benefited from TIPS outperforming T-Bills, positive results from alpha strategies, and gains from the team’s active TIPSmanagement.Longer dated positioning within the grains curves contributed to performance following a decline in front month contracts.Substitution trades detracted for the quarter. Specifically, platinum exposure in favor of gold negatively impacted results.Exposure to Australian linkers weighed on results as they sold off in the fourth quarter.

Grosvenor Institutional Partners (“GIP”) is a globally diversified, multi-strategy, multi-manager portfolio that allocates its assets to hedge fundmanagers that specialize in a wide range of alternative investment strategies. GIP has two primary investment objectives: to provide its investorswith a superior long-term, risk-adjusted rate of return and to preserve capital. The Fund will allocate to approximately 40 managers.

Six out of eight sub-strategies delivered positive quarterly results as most funds produced solid gains.Credit and multi-strategy managers were the leading contributors to results for the quarter and 2012. Structured credit and non-agency RMBSdrove outperformance, as well as the Lehman Brothers liquidation and Tier-1 European financials.Equities produced solid results as long-biased managers were able to capture more of the rally after recently increasing exposures. Strong resultswithin financials, energy and Europe were slightly offset by select contrarian positions and poor stock selection in technology.Gains in macro, driven by short yen and long equity positioning, were offset by modest losses experienced by commodities managers whosuffered from declining grains prices.Portfolio hedging allocations were generally unprofitable and the team has removed them completely from the portfolio.The Fund experience moderate turnover during the quarter. Reallocations represent the team’s continued effort to increase exposure to highconviction niche strategies.

Magnitude International is a globally diversified multi-strategy FOHF which targets attractive risk-adjusted returns with limited exposure to passive

risk factors. Management displays a quantitative, arbitrage and relative value bias and will evaluate “corners of the market” for small positions.

The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the quarter and calendar year. With the exception of statistical arbitrage, all strategies contributedpositively during the quarter.Credit relative value continued to be the primary portfolio driver, benefiting from increased investor demand for structured credit product and theperception of improved housing fundamentals. The team is reducing the strategy’s allocation to structured credit and mortgages in response to aless attractive opportunity set going forward.Commodities relative value was the second largest contributor, driven in particular from a downward move in natural gas.Distressed and trading strategies generated moderate returns overall with underlying managers delivering consistent results.The Fund’s largest statistical arbitrage strategy holding weighed on results due to a notable drawdown in October despite similar managersproducing modest gains.During the quarter, the team replaced a manager in the equity hedge energy/utilities space, redeemed from a commodities relative valuemanager, and added a niche high frequency statistical arbitrage manager.

DEFINITION OF KEY STATISTICS

Returns Time-weighted average annual returns for the time periods indicated. Time weighted returns seek to eliminate the impact of external cash flows on the rate of return calculations. All returns are annualized if the period for which they are calculated exceeds one year.

Universe Comparison The universe compares the fund's returns to a group of other investment portfolios with similar investment strategies. The returns for the fund, the index and the universe percentiles are displayed. A percentile ranking of 1 is the best, while a percentile ranking of 100 is the worst. For example, a ranking of 50 indicates the fund outperformed half of the universe. A ranking of 25 indicates the fund was in the top 25% of the universe, outperforming 75%.

Returns In Up/Down Markets This measures how the fund performed in both up and down markets. The methodology is to segregate the performance for each time period into the quarters in which the market, as defined by the index, was positive and negative. Quarters with negative index returns are treated as down markets, and quarters with positive index returns are treated as up markets. Thus, in a 3 year or 12 quarter period, there might be 4 down quarters and 8 up quarters. A simple arithmetic average of returns is calculated for the fund and the index based on the up quarters. A simple arithmetic average of returns is calculated for the fund and the index based on the down quarters. The up market capture ratio is the ratio of the fund's return in up markets to the index. The down market capture ratio is the ratio of the fund's return in down markets to the index. Ideally, the fund would have a greater up market capture ratio than down market capture ratio.

Standard Deviation Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the range of performance within which the total returns of a fund fall. When a fund has a high standard deviation, the range of performance is very wide, meaning there is a greater volatility. Approximately 68% of the time, the total return of any given fund will differ from the average total return by no more than plus or minus the standard deviation figure. Ninety-five percent of the time, a fund’s total return will be within a range of plus or minus two times the standard deviation from the average total return. If the quarterly or monthly returns are all the same the standard deviation will be zero. The more they vary from one another, the higher the standard deviation. Standard deviation can be misleading as a risk indicator for funds with high total returns because large positive deviations will increase the standard deviation without a corresponding increase in the risk of the fund. While positive volatility is welcome, negative is not.

R-Squared This reflects the percentage of a fund’s movements that are explained by movements in its benchmark index. An R-squared of 100 means that all movements of a fund are completely explained by movements in the index. Conversely, a

low R-squared indicates very few of the fund’s movements are explained by movements in the benchmark index. R-squared can also be used to ascertain the significance of a particular beta. Generally, a higher R-squared will indicate a more reliable beta figure. If the R-squared is lower, then the beta is less relevant to the fund’s performance. A measure of diversification, R-squared indicates the extent to which fluctuations in portfolio returns are explained by market. An R-squared = 0.70 implies that 70% of the fluctuation in a portfolio's return is explained by the fluctuation in the market. In this instance, overweighting or underweighting of industry groups or individual securities is responsible for 30% of the fund's movement.

Beta This is a measure of a fund’s market risk. The beta of the market is 1.00. Accordingly, a fund with a 1.10 beta is expected to perform 10% better than the market in up markets and 10% worse that the market in down markets. It is

important to note, however, a low fund beta does not imply the fund has a low level of volatility; rather, a low beta means only that the fund’s market-related risk is low. Because beta analyzes the market risk of a fund by showing how responsive the fund is to the market, its usefulness depends on the degree to which the markets determine the fund's total risk (indicated by R-squared ).

Alpha The Alpha is the nonsystematic return, or the return that can’t be attributed to the market. It can be thought of as how the manager performed if the market’s return was zero. A positive alpha implies the manager added value to the return of the portfolio over that of the market. A negative alpha implies the manager did not contribute any value over the performance of the market.

Sharpe Ratio The Sharpe ratio is the excess return per unit of total risk as measured by standard deviation. Higher numbers are better, indicating more return for the level of risk experienced. The ratio is a fund's return minus the risk-free rate of return

(30-day T-Bill rate) divided by the fund’s standard deviation. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the more reward you are receiving per unit of total risk. This measure can be used to rank the performance of mutual funds or other portfolios.

Treynor Ratio The Treynor ratio measures returns earned in excess of that which could have been earned on a riskless investment per each unit of market risk. The ratio relates excess return over the risk-free rate to the additional risk taken; however, systematic risk is used instead of total risk. The Treynor ratio is similar to the Sharpe ratio, except in the fact that it uses the beta to evaluate the returns rather than the standard deviation of portfolio returns. High values mean better return for risk taken.

Tracking Error Tracking error measures the volatility of the difference in annual returns between the manager and the index. This value is calculated by measuring the standard deviation of the difference between the manager and index returns. For example, a tracking error of +/- 5 would mean there is about a 68% chance (1 standard deviation event) that the manager's returns will fall within +/- 5% of the benchmark's annual return.

Information Ratio The information ratio is a measure of the consistency of excess return. This value is determined by taking the annualized excess return over a benchmark (style benchmark by default) and dividing it by the standard deviation of excess return.

Consistency Consistency shows the percent of the periods the fund has beaten the index and the percent of the periods the index has beat the fund. A high average for the fund (e.g. over 50) is desirable, indicating the fund has beaten the index frequently.

Downside Risk Downside risk is a measure similar to standard deviation, but focuses only on the negative movements of the return series. It is calculated by taking the standard deviation of the negative quarterly set of returns. The higher the factor, the riskier the product.

M-Squared M-squared, or the Modigliani risk-adjusted performance measure is used to characterize how well a portfolio’s return rewards an investor for the amount of risk taken, relative to that of some benchmark portfolio and to the risk-free rate.
