Today’s Financial Challenges

… Six of every 10 workers “always” or “usually” live paycheck to paycheck. — finance.yahoo.com, viewed June 28, 2011

57% of Americans polled reported that they have less than $25,000 saved for retirement. — 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey

Only 13% of workers surveyed said they were “very confident” about having enough money to live comfortably through retirement. — 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey

Instead of doing a systematic calculation, 54% of workers continue to guess at how much they will need to accumulate for retirement. — 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey

How do you feel about your current financial situation?

SFC/US/45665/6.13/V4/07SEC419-12

Pay Yourself First!

1. Put yourself at the head of the line. • Rule of thumb: save 10% of your income

• Treat it as a bill that you owe to yourself and your family

2. Set up a complete savings program with three accounts. Account Purpose 1. Emergency Fund Cover unforeseen expenses 2. Short-Term Savings Vacation, new computer, etc... 3. Long-Term Savings Retirement, college, etc...

Do you have a program in place for a comfortable retirement?

How Most People Save

You invest $10,000 at a four percent rate of return with your local bank ...

You earn interest for the year: $400

But you pay $100 in taxes on that interest at 25%*: -$100

So your net earnings are: $300

Your resulting balance would be: $10,300

...but if inflation is 3%, your buying power would be reduced to $10,000

You would have actually earned no gain to your purchasing power!

*The 25% tax bracket is hypothetical and your tax bracket may be different. If your tax bracket is not 25%, the results will vary.

Can you afford a guarantee?

Become an Owner, Not a Loaner

Savings Accounts, CDs, Cash Value Life Insurance =

Historically Low Rates of Return

CDs and savings accounts are generally FDIC insured up to $250,000. The $250,000 limit expires December 31, 2013.

The Rule of 72

72 ÷ 12% 6 Years

72 ÷ 4% 18 Years

72 ÷ 6% 12 Years

This simple calculation (72 ÷ the interest rate) gives you the approximate

number of years it will take to double your savings:

This table serves as a demonstration of how the Rule of 72 concept works from a mathematical standpoint. It is a hypothetical and is only an approximation of accumulations. It is not intended to represent any specific savings vehicle. The chart uses constant rates of return, unlike actual investments which will fluctuate in value. It does not include fees or taxes, which would lower performance.

Think Long Term

Look at the record of positive results over calendar periods, from January 1, 1943 through December 31, 2012.

These rolling time periods begin January 1, 1943 with each subsequent time period beginning again January of the following year. The final rolling periods of each are as follows: 1-Year Periods (January 1, 2012 – December 31, 2012); 3-Year Periods (January 1, 2010 – December 31, 2012); 5-Year Periods (January 1, 2008 – December 31, 2012); 10-Year Periods (January 1, 2003 – December 31, 2012); and 20-Year Periods (January 1, 1993 – December 31, 2012).

What’s one of the most effective long-term investment vehicles? — Mutual Funds

What is a mutual fund?

Note: Each mutual fund invests differently. Read the mutual fund’s prospectuses to determine how a fund may invest and to determine its current holdings. Mutual funds are actively managed portfolios and incur advisory fees and internal management costs. Investment in mutual funds does not assure a profit. The value of funds fluctuates, and, when redeemed, may be worth less than their original value. List of companies does not constitute a recommendation to buy or sell securities.

Did you know?

The typical mutual fund holds more than 150 stocks on average.**

Mutual funds earn money three ways:

1. Dividends

2. Capital Gains

3. Capital Appreciation

Should any of these be earned, they may be subject to taxation. Also note that the value of a fund may fluctuate.

5 Great Reasons to Own a Mutual Fund:

1. Professional money management

2. Diversification of assets

3. Growth potential

4. Affordability

5. Liquidity

Mutual funds are not guaranteed against a loss. Mutual funds also have costs and fees that are attributable to management and distribution.

A Tale of Five Investors

Ending amounts as of December 31, 2012, based on five different actions taken on October

31, 1987.

Source: PFS Investments Inc. and Morningstar. The chart illustrates a hypothetical

investment of $10,000 invested in an investment that performed similar to the S&P 500 TR

Index on August 31, 1987, near the market high, and then the subsequent financial impact

of various investment strategies on a portfolio implemented on October 31, 1987, after the

market crash on October 19, 1987 through December 31, 2012. Investors 4 & 5’s monthly

contributions began November 30, 1987. The Standard & Poor’s 500 ®, which is an

unmanaged group of securities, is considered to be representative of the stock market in

general. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The average annualized return of

the S&P 500 from the period 12/31/86 - 12/31/12 was 9.52%. The investor 2 & 4 examples

use Western Asset Liquid Reserves N (USD, CIRXX) as the basis for their dollar values. The

month end current 7-day yield was 0.01% as of October 31, 2012. Performance data

current to the most recent month-end can be located on the fund fact card, which is

available at www.leggmason.com/individualinvestors. Performance data quoted represents

past performance.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal value and investment

returns will fluctuate and, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the

original cost. This chart is for illustrative purposes, does not illustrated an actual

investment, and the returns to not represent the past or future performance of any

specific investment. Investments in mutual funds involve risk including loss of principal.

The figures in the chart above assume reinvestments of dividends and do not reflect any

fees, expenses or tax consequences, which may lower results.

A money market fund is an investment company that invests in commercial paper,

banker’s acceptances, repurchase agreements, government securities, certificates of

deposit and other highly liquid securities, and pays money market rates of interest. Money

markets are not FDIC-insured nor are they guaranteed by any other government agency,

may lose money, and are not guaranteed by a bank or other financial institution. Although

the money market seeks to preserve a stable per share value (i.e., $1.00 per share), it is

possible to lose money by investment in the fund.

Systematic investing cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

Since systematic investing involves continuous investments over time regardless of

fluctuating price levels, the investor should consider his or her ability to continue to invest

in periods of low price levels. The value of stocks will fluctuate based on market

conditions. Stocks are not insured.

It’s time, not timing, that matters

$10,000 investment for 20 years during worst times vs. best times

$10,000 investments are made immediately following market high (or market low) month-end date.

Example: In the market high scenario, the first $10,000 contribution is made immediately following the last trading day of the month.

*January dates denoted with an asterisk indicate the $10,000 was invested immediately prior to the first trading day of the year (January).

There have been plenty of reasons not to invest in the stock market over the years, but for the long-term investors, the results have generally been positive over time.

If you invested $10,000 in the stock market on December 31,

1982 and left it in the market, even when the news was bad…

30 years later (December 31, 2012), your investment would have

grown to $217,197 (10.80% average annual total return).

The Standard & Poor’s 500®, which is an unmanaged group of securities, is considered to be representative of the stock market in general. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Systematic investing cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Since systematic investing involves continuous investments over time regardless of fluctuating price levels, the investor should consider his or her ability to continue to invest in periods of low price levels. A money market fund is an investment company that invests in commercial paper, banker’s acceptances, repurchase agreements, government securities, certificates of deposit and other highly liquid securities, and pays money market rates of interest. Money markets are not FDIC-insured, may lose money, and are not guaranteed by a bank or other financial institution. Although the money market seeks to preserve a stable per share value (i.e., $1.00 per share), it is possible to lose money by investment in the fund. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate and, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original investment amount.

3. An investment such as stocks represented by the S&P Index may not be appropriate for an investor seeking a short-term investment or who is unwilling to experience the volatility, including the potential loss of principal. The Standard & Poor’s 500®, which is an unmanaged group of securities, is considered to be representative of the stock market in general. The data assumes reinvestment of all income and does not account for taxes or transaction costs. Because these indices are not managed portfolios, there are no advisory fees or internal management expenses reflected in their performance and investors cannot invest directly in any index.

Government bonds and Treasury bills are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States government as to the timely payment of principal and interest, while stocks are not guaranteed and have been more volatile than the other asset classes. Furthermore, small company stocks are more volatile than large company stocks and are subject to significant price fluctuations, business risks and are thinly traded. International investments involve special risks such as fluctuations in currency, foreign taxation, economic and political risks, liquidity risks and differences in accounting and financial standards. The data assumes reinvestment of all income and does not account for taxes or transaction costs. Because these indices are not managed portfolios, there are no advisory fees or internal management expenses reflected in their performance and investors cannot invest directly in any index.

Dollar-cost averaging is a technique for lowering the average cost per share over time. While a continuous program of dollar-cost averaging can reduce cost per share over time, it cannot

assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Since dollar-cost averaging involves continuous investments over time, the investor should consider his or financial ability to

continue purchases through low price levels. The values shown are hypothetical, not intended to reflect any specific market period but to demonstrate the effect of a fluctuating market.

Volatility of Long-Term Government Bonds

Source: Morningstar. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This chart is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent an actual investment or the performance of any specific investment. All investments involve risk including loss of principal. Small Company Stocks—Russell 2000 Index; Large Company Stocks—Standard & Poor’s 500®, which is an unmanaged group of securities, is considered to be representative of the stock market in general; Long-Term Government Bonds—20-year U.S. Government Bond; Treasury Bills—30-day U.S. Treasury Bill; International Stocks—Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East (EAFE) Index. Government bonds and Treasury bills are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States government as to the timely payment of principal and interest, while stocks are not guaranteed and have been more volatile than the other asset classes. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Bond funds do not carry the same guarantees as bonds themselves. Furthermore, small company stocks are more volatile than large company stocks and are subject to significant price fluctuations, business risks and are thinly traded. International investments involve special risks such as fluctuations in currency, foreign taxation, economic and political risks, liquidity risks and differences in accounting and financial standards. The data assumes reinvestment of all income and does not account for taxes or transaction costs which may lower results. Because these indices are not managed portfolios, there are no advisory fees or internal management expenses reflected in their performance and investors cannot invest directly in any index. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss.

Take advantage of tax-deferred savings.

• Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

• Other Tax-Deferred Savings Accounts*

*Earnings from tax-deferred accounts may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal. This chart represents the growth of a hypothetical investment, assuming the stated annual nominal rate of return compounded monthly, over a specific time period. This example does not take inflation or applicable fees into account and should not be considered to be representative of the performance of any specific investment product or investment strategy.

For purposes of comparison, the taxable account is calculated using a 25% income tax bracket. Your actual annual rate of return could be more or less. Also, withdrawals before age 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% penalty. Investors should consider their personal investment horizon and income tax bracket, both current and anticipated, when making investment decisions. Lower maximum tax rates on capital gains and dividends would make the return on the taxable investment more favorable.

Taxable $739,900

Invest $10,000 per year for 30 years at a 9% rate of return

Tax-deferred $1,537,100

SFC/US/45665/6.13/V4/07SEC419-12

Don’t pay the high cost of waiting.

• Age 27: Invest $100/month at 9% return

• By age 67, that investment is worth almost $471,640

• But start investing one year later and same investment only grows to $430,040

• You would miss out on nearly $42,000!

Hypothetical 9% rate of return not intended to represent any actual investment. Unlike actual investments, the accounts show a constant rate of return without any fees or charges. Tax-deferred growth and tax-deductible contributions are taxed upon withdrawal. Withdrawals prior to age 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Assumes payments are made at the beginning of compounding period with 9% rate of return compounded monthly.

Actual returns would differ and be significantly impacted by periods of negative returns, failure to make monthly contributions and any withdrawals.

Amount

High cost

of waiting

Start saving at: Age 27 Age 28 Age 32 Age 42

$471,640 $430,040 $112,950 $296,380

$41,600 $175,260 $358,690 The longer you wait to start saving for the future, the less time your money has to grow.

Even delaying your investing program a year or two can make a big difference in how much you end up with.

That’s because you pay “the high cost of waiting.”

The sooner you begin to save, the greater the growth potential of your investment

When does $40,000 exceed $190,000?

The hypothetical 9% rate of return and tax-deferred accumulation shown for both IRA accounts are not guaranteed or intended to demonstrate the performance of any actual investment. Unlike actual investments, the accounts show a constant rate of return without any fees or charges. Tax-deferred growth and any tax-deductible contributions are taxed upon withdrawal. Withdrawals prior to age 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Assumes payments are made at the beginning of compounding period with 9% rate of return compounded monthly.

It pays to start early!
