ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

U.S.

• U.S. economic growth is picking up. Second quarter U.S. real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at a 3.0% annual rate and third quarter growth is tracking at a similar pace.

• U.S. consumers have tailwinds from decent wage growth, rising home prices, still-low gasoline prices and very positive labor market dynamics.

• We expect housing and business investment spending to be cyclical tailwinds for the overall economy and extend the cycle.

• Pro-business policies are likely at some level: Tax cuts, tax reform, repatriation and/or regulatoryrelief should boost nominal growth. The mix of realgrowth and inflation is uncertain.

EMPLOYMENT, INFLATION & INTEREST RATES

• In our view, the dollar is close to fair valued on a trade-weighted basis, but interest rate differentials are favorable and we think the dollar will remain broadly stable.

• In June, we lowered our range for WTI to $45-65 per barrel and continue to expect oil prices to remain “even lower for even longer.”

U.S. InflationU.S. Fiscal Policy EarningsU.S. Tax Reform ChinaCentral Bank Meetings Brexit negotiations

WATCH LIST

GLOBAL •The synchronized global growth upturn that began

last year continues.

•Purchasing Managers’ Indexes show the global expansion has become more synchronized as emerging markets pick up after a five-year slowdown. Capital spending plans are rising with global growth.

•Corporate profits are rising around the world as global growth improves.

•We expect 3.5% plus real global GDP growth this year.

PROFITS

DOLLAR & COMMODITIES

• Higher nominal growth and possibly a lower corporate tax rate add to the upside risks to profits. S&P 500 earnings per share are tracking in the middle of our forecast for $129 – $138.

• Job growth remains steady and the current trend is sufficient to keep the unemployment rate below 4.5% for the remainder of this year. The participation rate is rising.

• Wage growth is firm and suggests inflation is well anchored.

• We expect the Fed to continue to gradually remove monetary • accommodation through rate hikes and balance sheet

tapering.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY AND ASSET ALLOCATION

TACTICAL SHIFTS

May 2017: •Lowered our conviction on U.S. small-caps to a slight overweight •Slightly increased our exposure to International Developed equities March 2017: •Shifted to a slight overweight position in International Developed equities December 2016: •Shifted to an overweight in equities •Within equities we raised U.S. small caps to

overweight •Moved further underweight fixed income

EQUITIES

From secular stagnation to fiscal reflation and synchronized economic expansionEquities remain attractive vs.

Fixed Income on relative basis

Utilize a barbell strategy in Fixed Income to accumulate cash flow

Non-U.S. economies gather momentum

MARKET VIEWS

FIXED INCOME• Neutral to slightly short duration is warranted,

given expectations for higher short-term rates over time and periods of flight to quality givenpolitical and geo-political headwinds

• Prefer credit over Treasuries, be selective ininternational bonds, avoid non-dollar sovereignbonds

• Underweight exposure to high yield. Within high yield, an allocationto leverage loans is advised

• Favorable view on Investment Grade given a gradually improving economic backdrop, modest carry relative to Treasuries and Agencies, and continued technical tailwinds particularly from institutional and foreign investors

ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS

• Alternative Investments* help broaden the investment toolkit to diversify traditional stock and bond portfolios

• Currently, we see compelling opportunities within the Real Estate debt space

• We believe the environment for active management, and hence hedge funds, will improve through 2017 and continue to recommend a diversified approach when investing in this heterogeneous asset class. We maintain a moderately positive view on equity long/short strategies

• Within Private Equity, we see opportunities in special situations and private credit

*Many products that pursue Alternative Investment strategies, specifically Private Equity and Hedge Funds, are available only to pre-qualified clients. Asset Allocation and diversification do not ensure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Source: Global Wealth & Investment Management Investment Strategy Committee (ISC) as of September 2017. ARYL4MSS.

• Prefer non-U.S. equities and large capitalization multi-nationals in the U.S.

• A barbell of high quality value focusing on financials, and pro-cyclical exposure, with a focus on healthcare and technology

• Overweight Emerging Markets and International Developed equities, specifically Europe and Japan

• Dividend growth over high dividend yield• Hybrid mix of active and passive managers based

on market opportunity • Factors: low volatility and ultra defensive

positioning is over-extended

When assessing your portfolio in light of our current guidance, consider the tactical positioning around asset allocation in reference to your own individual risk tolerance, time horizon, objectives and liquidity needs. Certain investments may not be appropriate, given your specific circumstances and investment plan. Certain security types, like hedged strategies and private equity investments, are subject to eligibility and suitability criteria. Your financial advisor can help you customize your portfolio in light of your specific circumstances.

Executive Summary As of September 30, 2017“Trust in God and keep your powder dry”

Attributed to Oliver Cromwell

For several quarters, we have been keepers of the Goldilocks Global Economy concept, not too hot, not too cold, just right. This was one of the topics of the Executive Summary in the Q2 book. Over time, it seems that much of the rest of the world has come around to our position—while voices of dissent are sometimes heard, most pundits now believe in a low inflation, moderate growth world environment for at least the next year or longer. I am one of those believers, and think you should be as well—all signs support this. Economically sensitive sectors have done well, defensives ones poorly. Changes in corporate tax policy are likely to lead to increasing profits, as well as valuations. Recovery and growth are underway worldwide. Emerging markets, powered by trade have outperformed those in the U.S. year-to-date.

The expectations above and their fulfillment have been the fundamental drivers of performance in the D&B Fund. Year-to-date 2017, the portfolio is up 12.64%, versus 9.97% for the benchmark, and 9.69% for the simple 60/40 target. The numbers are similar for 1-and-2 years, as well as Q3 of 2017. Since the inception of the account, the return of the portfolio has been 5.83%, versus 4.39%—32.8% higher than the benchmark. In that same period, the standard deviation of return (or risk) has been 7.07% versus 6.43% for the benchmark, just 10.0% higher. An excellent risk/value tradeoff. Bottom line—good markets, good choices, good performance, low risk. The best of all possible worlds. Now we just need to stay on track.

Regardless of your personal opinion about Mr. Cromwell, his quote above has something to say to us. Recall that earlier this year, we moved to combine most active managers in the portfolio with a passive counterpart, commonly an ETF. This was done to keep options clearly open should the active/passive dynamic change (it has not as yet). At the time I described it as an “insurance policy”, best purchased before the need was obvious. Although we haven’t yet needed that policy (our active managers continue to do spectacularly), I am more comfortable with that insurance in place, as you should be as well. While the policy has had an opportunity cost, when needed you will be glad it was in effect.

In a world in which no week goes by without a series of new highs for markets, I believe that keeping your powder dry has become still more important. To that end, we have recently become more aggressive in our rebalancing standards. In addition, while maintaining over-and-underweights that conform to our macroeconomic expectations we have somewhat reduced the magnitude of those variances. For example, large cap stocks have gone from 30% of portfolio to 28%, and small cap stocks from 8% to 6.5%. This is still overweight to Strategic Target, but less so. As importantly, we will be trading more often and for smaller amounts—reallocating on a near-continuous basis, rather than allowing appreciation to remain for any length of time. Money taken out of risk is money kept.

We still see no signs that the expansion we have enjoyed is drawing to a close, but each month that passes puts us another month closer to its inevitable end. In the most recent period, we have put yet another insurance policy in place to support the value of the D&B Fund. We dotrust in God (and the Bank) that the expansion underway will persist, but intend to keep our powder dry as well given the long-term perspective of the D&D Fund. We hope you agree—we assume if he were here Mr. Cromwell would..

DISCLOSURE

This document is provided for informational purposes only and is not issued in connection with any proposed offering of securities. This Furthermore, it is not used with regard to any specific investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any specific recipient and does not contain investment recommendations.

IMPORTANT: The material presented is designed to provide general information about ideas and strategies. It is for discussion purposes since the availability and effectiveness of any strategy is dependent upon your individual facts and circumstances.

Investing in securities involves risks, and there is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities. Economic or financial forecasts are inherently limited and should not be relied on as an indicator of future investment performance.

Alternative investments are sold to qualified investors only by a Confidential Offering Memorandum or Prospectus. Alternative investments may provide limited liquidity and include, among other things, the risks inherent in investing in securities and derivatives, using leverage and engaging in short sales. An investment in an alternative investment fund is speculative, involves substantial risks and should not constitute a complete investment program. An alternative investment fund may be highly leveraged. The volatility of the price of its interests may involve complex tax structures and there may be delays in distributing important tax information. These funds may not be subject to the same regulatory requirements as registered mutual funds, and their fees and expenses may be high. Interests in alternative investments are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other governmental agency. An investment in alternative investments is not suitable or desirable for all investors. Investors may lose all or a portion of the capital invested.

Nonfinancial assets, such as closely held businesses, real estate, oil, gas and mineral properties, and timber, farm and ranch land, are complex in nature and involve risks including total loss of value. Special risk considerations include natural events (for example, earthquakes or fires), complex tax considerations and lack of liquidity. Nonfinancial assets are not suitable for all investors.

Always consult with your independent attorney, tax advisor, insurance agent or other professional advisors for final recommendations and before changing or implementing any financial, tax, or estate planning strategy. Client eligibility may apply.

Asset allocation cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

RISK ANALYTICS STATISTICS DEFINITIONSGLOSSARYStandard Deviation – A gauge of volatility which measures the spread of the difference of returns from their average. The more a portfolio’s returns vary from its average, the higher the standard deviation. It is important to note that higher than average returns affect the standard deviation just as lower than average returns. Thus, it is not a measure of downside risk. Since it measures total variation of return, standard deviation is a measure of total risk.

Beta – A relative measure of the risk level of a manager. Beta measures the systematic risk, or the return that is attributable to market movements. This measure is relative to the benchmark defined (i.e. Standard and Poor’s 500, Russell 2000 Growth). A beta equal to one indicates a risk level equivalent to the benchmark defined. Higher betas are associated with higher risk levels, while lower betas are associated with lower risk levels.

Alpha – A measure of the difference between a portfolio’s actual return and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta. A positive Alpha figure indicates the portfolio has performed better than its beta would predict.

R-Squared – It is used to show how much a manager’s variability can be accounted for by the market. For example, if a portfolio’s R-squared is 0.79, then 79% of the manager’s variability is due to market conditions. As R-squared approaches 100, the portfolio is more closely correlated with the market.

Sharpe Ratio – A ratio that measures risk-adjusted performance. The Sharpe Ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate – such as that of the 90-Day Treasury Bill –from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the standard deviation of the portfolio returns.

Treynor Ratio – A risk-adjusted measure of return based on systematic risk. The ratio measures returns earned in excess of that which could have been earned on a riskless investment per each unit of market risk. It is similar to the Sharpe Ratio, with the difference being that the Treynor Ratio uses beta as the measurement of volatility.

Tracking Error – A divergence between the price behavior of a position or a portfolio and the price behavior of a benchmark.

Information Ratio – A ratio of portfolio returns above the returns of a benchmark (usually an index) to the volatility of those returns. The information Ratio (IR) measures a portfolio manager’s ability to generate excess returns relative to a benchmark, but also attempts to identify the consistency of the investor.

DISCLOSURES AND DEFINITIONSIMPORTANT INFORMATIONThe information and views contained in this presentation are as of date specified and are subject to change. These views are not necessarily representative of the opinions and views of other portfolio managers or of the firm as a whole.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment services of U.S. Trust / Bank of America are not guaranteed and are not insured by the FDIC and could result in the loss of value to your account. The actual return and value of an account will fluctuate and at any point in time could be worth more or less than the amount invested.
