Impact of DiversificationFirst Quarter 2020These portfolios illustrate theperformance of different globalstock/bond mixes and highlight thebenefits of diversification.

DisclosuresA basis point is the smallest measure used in quoting yields or interest rates. One basis point is equal to one one-hundredth of one percentage point (0.01%).There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk.Bonds are subject to market and interest rate risk if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline as interest rates rise and bonds are subject to availability and change inprice. Bond yields are subject to change. Certain call or special redemption features may exist which could impact yield.The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably.These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries, or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic orpolitical conditions. Equity securities are subject to “stock market risk” meaning that stock prices in general may decline over short or extended periods of time.Investments in emerging markets can be more volatile. As mentioned above, the normal risks of investing in foreign countries are heightened when investing in emergingmarkets. In addition, the small size of securities markets and the low trading volume may lead to a lack of liquidity, which leads to increased volatility. Also, emergingmarkets may not provide adequate legal protection for private or foreign investment or private property.Investments in commodities may have greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value ofcommodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affectinga particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.Use of leveraged commodity-linked derivatives creates an opportunity for increased return but, at the same time, creates the possibility for greater loss.Real estate investments may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographical sector. Real estateinvestments may be subject to risks including, but not limited to, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the valueof the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrower. Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) involves special risks such as potential illiquidityand may not be suitable for all investors. There is no assurance that the investment objectives of this program will be attained.International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policiesoutside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) help eliminate inflation risk to your portfolio as the principal is adjusted semiannually for inflation based on the ConsumerPrice Index – while providing a real rate of return guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, are subject to market risk andsignificant interest rate risk as their longer duration makes them more sensitive to price declines associated with higher interest rates.World Market Capitalization refers to the total dollar market value that a country makes up, as a whole of the global markets.All indexes are unmanaged, and an individual cannot invest directly in an index Unmanaged index returns do not reflect fees, expenses, or sales charges.Index performance is not indicative of the performance of any investment. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.Russell 1000 Index consists of the 1,000 largest securities in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 90% of the total market capitalization of the Russell3000 Index. It is a large-cap, market-oriented index and is highly correlated with the S&P 500 Index.Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index.Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization.Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe.

The index is unmanaged, includes the reinvestment of dividends and cannot be purchased directly by investors.Russell 2000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.Russell 3000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higherforecasted growthvalues.
