The Market EnvironmentMajor Market Index PerformanceAs of December 31, 2019 Broad asset class returns were positive during the 4th quarter of 2019 with theexception of the US Gov’t bond index. Both US and international equitymarkets benefited from positive developments concerning trade disruptions.Generally, the dispersion between US and international developed equitieswas muted during the quarter. Emerging markets significantly outperformed aspreviously noted trade tensions between the US and China eased. Monetarypolicy remained supportive with the Federal Reserve (Fed) cutting rates onceduring the period in addition to providing liquidity to the market throughsecurity purchases which acted as a catalyst to risk assets. Within domesticequity markets, the performance dispersion between large cap and small capstocks reversed during the quarter with the S&P 500 Index returning 9.1%versus a return of 9.9% for the small cap Russell 2000 Index. 2019performance of US equity markets was the highest since 2013 with large andmid-cap stocks returning 31.5% and 30.5%, respectively, while small capstocks posted a return of 25.5%.International equity market returns were strong during the 4th quarter. Similarto US markets, international performance was impacted by continuedmonetary policy relief from the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank,positive developments around global trade, and likely resolution on Brexit.International returns were also buoyed by a weakening US dollar (USD) whichdeclined against most major currencies during the period. Emerging marketsoutperformed relative to developed markets during the period with the MSCIEmerging Markets Index posting a gain of 11.8% compared to a return of 8.2%for the MSCI EAFE Index. Both developed and emerging markets postedstrong returns over the 1-year period, returning 22.0% and 18.4% respectively.Quarter PerformanceMSCI ACWxUS8.9%MSCI EAFE8.2%S&P 5009.1%Russell 30009.1%Russell 10009.0%Russell MidCap7.1%Russell 20009.9%Bbg Barclays US AggBbg Barclays US Govt0.2%-0.8%Bbg Barclays US TIPS0.8%Bbg Barclays MBS0.7%Bbg Barclays Corp IG1.2%3-Month T-Bill0.5%-2.0%0.0%2.0%4.0%Fixed income index performance was muted during the 4th quarter.

The Market EnvironmentDomestic Equity Style Index PerformanceAs of December 31, 2019 Against the largely positive global economic backdrop detailed on the previouspage, the US equity market delivered strong gains across the capitalizationand style spectrum for the 4th quarter of 2019. Growth stocks outperformedvalue stocks for the full capitalization range during the period. Further, as isoften the case during periods of strong “risk-on” performance, small cap growthstocks outpaced large cap growth stocks due primarily to an expectation thatsmaller companies have accelerated earnings growth relative to largecompanies.Quarter Performance - Russell Style Series3000 Value7.5%3000 Index9.1%3000 Growth10.7%1000 Value The Russell 2000 Growth Index was the best performing style index for theperiod, returning 11.4%, while large cap and mid-cap growth returned a solid10.6% and 8.2% respectively. The outperformance of small cap stocks acrossthe style spectrum for the period represented a reversal from previousquarters. The small cap Russell 2000 Index gained 9.9% during the periodversus a 9.0% return for the large cap Russell 1000 Index.When viewed over the most recent 1-year period, large cap stocks significantlyoutperformed small cap stocks with the Russell 1000 posting a strong 31.4%gain while the Russell 2000 delivered a solid 25.5% return. Unsurprisingly,given the recent strong market environment, value stocks also trailed theirgrowth counterparts over the trailing 1-year period. The technology-heavyRussell 1000 Growth Index was the best performing index over the 1-yearperiod delivering a stellar 36.5% return compared to a return of 26.5% for theRussell 1000 Value Index7.4%1000 Index9.0%1000 Growth10.6%MidCap Value6.4%MidCap Index7.1%MidCap Growth8.2%2000 Value8.5%2000 Index9.9%2000 ar Performance - Russell Style Series3000 Value26.3%3000 Index31.0%3000 Growth35.8%1000 Value26.5%1000 Index31.4%1000 Growth36.4%MidCap Value27.1%MidCap Index30.5%MidCap Growth35.5%2000 Value22.4%2000 Index25.5%2000 Growth0.0%Source: Investment MetricsPage 528.5%5.0%10.0%15.0%20.0%25.0%30.0%35.0%40.0%

The Market EnvironmentGICS Sector Performance & (Sector Weight)As of December 31, 2019 Performance was positive across all eleven large cap economic sectors forthe 4th quarter but four outpaced the return of the broader Russell 1000Index. The more economically sensitive sectors, such as technology,financials and communication services posted returns of 14.1%, 9.9% and9.2%, respectively, as investors’ expectations of future economic growthimproved. Health care stocks rallied as the cost and drug pricing rhetoric fromDemocratic Presidential candidates softened. Technology was also a leaderwith stocks such as Apple experiencing strong holiday sales and Microsoftmaking a strong earnings announcement. Not surprisingly, defensive sectorssuch as consumer staples, industrials and energy underperformed thebroader market during the period. All eleven economic sectors were alsopositive over the 1-year trailing period with each sector posting a return inexcess of 20% for the year. Similar to the quarter’s results, economicallysensitive sectors outpaced defensive ones by a considerable margin. Thetechnology sector was 2019’s standout performer, posting an impressive49.6% for the year. The sector was buoyed by Apple’s 89.0% return andMicrosoft’s 57.6% return for the year. The financial sector, which returned31.8% for the year, also experienced strong earnings as recessionary fearssubsided and the US yield curve moved toward a more normal, positivelyslope. The only other economic sector to outperform the broader Russell1000 index return of 31.4% for the 1-year period was the communicationservices sector, which posted a return of 32.9% for the year.Quarterly results for small cap sectors were mixed compared to their largecap counterparts with seven of the eleven economic sectors outpacing theircorresponding large cap equivalents. Ten of the eleven small cap sectorsproduced positive absolute returns during the quarter, but similar to large capperformance, only three sectors managed to outpace the broad Russell 2000Index. Economically sensitive sectors were also the strongest performers inthe small cap space as investors expressed an appetite for risk. The healthcare sector was the quarter’s standout, posting a return of 22.4% for thequarter. The technology and materials sectors also posted double-digitperformance for the period with returns of 11.7% and 11.5% respectively.While not a significant weight in the index, the utilities, which are considereddefensive, was the only negative sector, posting a loss of -1.6%. Over thetrailing 1-year period, returns were broadly positive with only the highlycyclical energy sector, largely tied to oil prices, producing negativeperformance with a return of -6.3%. Similar to large cap performance,technology led the way with the sector returning a stellar 42.7% for the year.Returns were also impressive in the industrials, health care and real estatesectors, which posted gains of 29.9%, 29.4% and 29.1%, respectively, andfinished ahead of the Russell 2000 index return of 25.5% for the year.9.2%Comm Services (9.9%)Consumer Disc (10.1%)27.9%3.5%Consumer Staples (6.9%)26.9%5.8%Energy (4.1%)10.6%9.9%Financials (13.2%)31.8%14.4%Health Care (13.5%)21.4%5.7%Industrials (9.7%)30.0%49.6%14.1%Info Technology (22.4%)6.4%Materials (2.8%)Real Estate (3.9%)0.3%Utilities uarterRussell 20005.3%Comm Services (2.4%)7.1%Consumer Staples (3.0%)50.0%1-Year9.4%8.6%Consumer Disc (11.0%)21.5%15.9%7.6%Energy (3.1%)Financials (18.1%)1-Year32.9%5.5%-6.3%7.3%21.8%22.4%Health Care (16.7%)7.8%Industrials (16.2%)11.7%Materials (3.9%)11.5%Utilities (3.9%)42.7%23.0%3.4%Real Estate (8.2%)-1.6%29.4%29.9%Info Technology (13.6%)-10.0%Page 6QuarterRussell 100029.1%20.5%0.0%10.0%20.0%30.0%40.0%Source: Morningstar DirectAs a result of the GICS classification changes on 9/28/2018 and certain associated reporting limitations, sector performance represents backward looking performance for the prior year of each sector’s current constituency, post creation of the CommunicationServices sector.50.0%

The Market EnvironmentInternational and Regional Market Index Performance (Country Count)As December 31, 2019 Broad international equity returns were positive in both local currency and USDterms for the 4th quarter as investors benefited from a broad “risk-on”environment. US investors also benefited as the USD weakened relative tomost major developed and emerging market currencies during the period.Within the broader currency moves that boosted USD return, the British poundand the Euro appreciated relative to the USD during the quarter which acted asa headwind to holdings in those sub-markets. However, the macro impact ofthe USD weakness for the period was positive for US investors for the broadmarket international indexes. The MSCI EAFE and ACWI ex US Indexesreturned 8.2% and 7.9% respectively for the quarter. Similar to US markets,international equity markets were buoyed by loose central bank monetarypolicies which supplied the markets with liquidity. Christine Lagarde assumedthe presidency of the European Central Bank (ECB) and announced thatinterest rates would remain negative at -0.5% while the Bank of Japan’s keyrate also remains in negative territory at -0.1%. The People’s Bank of Chinaannounced during the quarter that it would continue with its prudent monetarypolicy with the goal of providing stimulus measures as needed.As previously noted, results for developed market indexes were stronglypositive for the 4th quarter. European stocks moved higher on expectations ofa trade resolution between China and the US. In the UK, Prime Minster BorisJohnson received a resounding mandate in recent elections resulting in a largemajority in Parliament. The results make it highly likely that the UK will leavethe European Union. The decrease in Brexit uncertainty led the British poundto rally against most major currencies. In contrast, the economy in Hong Kongfell into recession as continued political protests and the Chinese government’sresponse detracted from growth. While not as strong as US equity marketreturns, each of the broad, developed market benchmarks posted returns inexcess of 20% for the trailing 1-year period.For the 4th quarter, emerging markets reversed the recent trend and managedto outperform developed international markets. The MSCI Emerging MarketsIndex returned a strong USD return of 11.8%. As previously noted, theprospect of reduced trade tensions between the US and China stoked returnsin emerging markets. As a result, countries with greater sensitivities tocommodity prices and global trade activity performed well during the period. Asevidence, Russia and Brazil, both large energy exporters, returned 16.6% and15.6%, respectively, during the quarter. For the full year, emerging marketsdelivered strong returns in both local currency and USD terms. The MSCIEmerging Markets Index climbed 18.4% in local currency and 18.1% in USDterms. The narrow performance differential between local currency and USDemerging market returns is also observable across each of the internationalbenchmarks for the 1-year period as the year’s currency volatility largelybalanced out.Source: MSCI Global Index Monitor (Returns are Net)Page 8USDQuarter PerformanceLocal Currency8.9%AC World x US (48)8.0%7.9%WORLD x US (22)5.0%8.2%EAFE (21)5.2%8.8%Europe & ME (16)4.5%7.0%6.4%Pacific (5)11.8%Emerging Mkt (26)9.5%9.9%EM EMEA (11)5.7%12.5%EM Asia (9)10.8%10.5%EM Latin Amer (6)7.0%0.0%2.0%4.0%6.0%8.0%10.0%USD1-Year Performance12.0%Local Currency26.9%26.8%AC World x US (48)22.5%21.6%WORLD x US (22)22.0%21.7%EAFE (21)23.6%23.6%Europe & ME (16)19.3%18.5%Pacific (5)18.4%18.1%Emerging Mkt (26)15.5%EM EMEA (11)12.7%19.2%19.1%EM Asia (9)17.5%EM Latin Amer (6)0.0%14.0%19.7%5.0%10.0%15.0%20.0%25.0%30.0%

The Market EnvironmentDomestic Bond Sector & Broad/Global Bond Market Performance (Duration)As of December 31, 2019 Fixed income markets extended their gains in the 4th quarter, except for USTreasury bonds which declined during the period. Interest rates rose modestlyacross the US Treasury Yield Curve through the quarter as investors’confidence generally improved which resulted in bond prices falling. The Fedcontinued to provide liquidity by cutting short-term interest rates by 25 basispoints to between 1.50% and 1.75% in October. The Fed began expanding itsbalance sheet by purchasing securities to provide the market with liquiditywhich is another form of monetary easing. The Fed made no changes tomonetary policy at their December meeting and signaled that they wouldremain on hold but would continue to monitor the economy closely for anyfurther deterioration. Importantly, the US Treasury Yield Curve normalizedbetween the 2-year and 10-year issues which suggests that the threat of animminent recession has been reduced. An inverted yield curve has historicallypreceded a recession within the next 6-24 months. The bellwether BloombergBarclays US Aggregate Index added 0.2% during the 4th quarter whilereturning 8.7% for the 1-year period ending in December.Within investment grade credit, lower quality issues resumed theiroutperformance over higher quality issues as investors’ appetites for riskincreased during the quarter. Bonds rated Baa were the best performinginvestment grade credit quality segment returning 1.7% for the quarter, whileAAA was the worst performing, returning -0.2%. High yield corporate bondsoutpaced all other credit sectors during the quarter returning 2.6%. For the fullyear both investment grade and high yield bonds delivered strong performancereturning 14.5% and 14.3% respectively.Performance across defensive sectors such as US Treasury bonds, mortgagebacked securities and TIPS were mixed during the quarter mostly due to theirduration profiles.
