The Private Trust Company

Key trust facts

A trust is a legal entity that holds assets, such as securities or mutual funds, for the benefit of a person, family, or organization.

When establishing a trust, you designate one or more trustees. A trustee can be an individual, often including yourself, or a bank with a trust charter. By law, your trustee is responsible for:

• Managing and protecting the trust’s assets and seeing they are diversified appropriately • Assuring your wishes are followed and all of your beneficiaries are treated fairly • Ensuring accurate records and accounting for all transactions • Complying with tax reporting regulations • Good planning will prompt the designation of a successor trustee — one who assumes

responsibilities for an individual trustee who becomes disabled or dies. • Unlike a relative, friend or business associate, a professional trustee fields a team of experts

that operates your trust with care and objectivity for as long as you desire.

For more information, visit www.theprivatetrustcompany.com

The Private Trust Company N.A. (PTC) is an affiliate of LPL Financial. PTC manages trusts and family assets for high net worth clients and is licensed in all 50 states under its 1995 national banking charter to administer the trusts and implement the estate plans of affluent families. The bank does not engage in lending or deposit taking; it specializes solely in providing fiduciary solutions.

As its primary mission, PTC provides trust services to clients of LPL Financial advisors as well as to local clients in Cleveland, Ohio, where it is headquartered. PTC is also the custodian of all of the LPL Financial IRA accounts.


Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs)

Using insurance inside a trust can have a powerful impact on your estate planning strategy. Common client goals achieved by using an ILIT include:

• Helping to avoid forced liquidation to pay estate taxes on an asset a family wants to retain, such as a family business or real estate

• Helping to provide a safety net for potential long-term care needs in later years• Helping to minimize estate tax liability at the time assets transfer to heirs• Helping to offer an opportunity to enhance charitable contributions, in addition to

providing for heirs• Helping to ensure an equitable distribution of assets to heirs • Helping to provide for greater control of assets

LPL Insurance and The Private Trust Company work together to help us implement this powerful planning tool for you.

LPL Financial offers full-service insurance solutions and dedicated support through its life insurance agency, LPL Insurance Associates, Inc.

Alternative investments

• Managed futures• Fund of hedge funds• Private equity• Real estate (REITS, limited partnerships)• 1031 exchange programs• Concentrated equity solutions (Exchange

funds, Collars, Pre-paid forwards)• Oil and gas partnerships • Equipment leasing• Structured products

Complex tax and regulatory requirements can make sorting through and selecting the right investments difficult. We are committed to helping you navigate the world of alternative investments.

LPL Financial provides information and educational materials from key resources, including a dedicated team of consultants, the LPL Financial Research department and product sponsors, to help us determine which alternative investments are the most appropriate options for you.

As investors’ needs become increasingly complex and sophisticated, a growing number of alternative investment products have been introduced. LPL Financial has responded to this need with a range of innovative products designed for formulating, supporting or supplementing specific strategies.

Investing in alternative investments may not be suitable for all investors and involves special risks such as the risk associated with leveraging the investment, potential adverse market forces, regulatory changes and potential illiquidity. There is no assurance that the investment objectives will be attained.

Fixed Income Trading

FIXED INCOME TRADING

Structured investment products are complicated investments that help provide investment exposure that cannot be accessed through traditional assets, and some protection from downside risk in exchange for the investor’s forgoing some upside potential to achieve that protection. Structured products typically have two components, a note and derivative and have a fixed maturity. Structured products combine traditional investments, such as bonds, stocks and commodities, with financial instruments, including options and swap agreements. The most common structured products are used to gain exposure to an asset class while providing protection at maturity. Principal protection may vary from partial to 100%. If the option (derivative) turns out to be valuable, investors can gain exposure to the upside of the asset class.

Structured investments with tailored terms and a risk/reward profile are designed to help clients:

• Optimize returns and diversify portfolio holdings• Provide leverage• Derive tax efficiencies• Minimize volatility and provide downside protection

JPMorgan, DWS Scudder, HSBC, and Credit Suisse provide new monthly offerings, which may include principal protection, equity indexed notes and more.

Structured Investments

An investment in structured products involves significant risks. Investing in structured notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the underlying indices. No assurance can be given that the investment strategy used to construct any return enhanced structured note will be successful or that the structured notes will outperform any alternative basket that might be constructed from the constituent sub indices. Investment value prior to maturity will be influenced by many economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including interest rates, the level of the underlying, implied volatility and the time remaining to maturity. Investors should carefully review the risks in the offering documents. Structured products are intended as “buy and hold” investments and may not be liquid instruments prior to maturity.

INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES

Not having a clearly defined investment objective

Whether building a new house or an investment portfolio, you first need to establish a solid foundation. Gaining an in-depth understanding of your unique financial goals is key to this process. Your personal portfolio investment objective will take into account your risk tolerance and time horizon. Specific strategies can be created to address a single objective or a combination of objectives simultaneously.

Improperly judging risk

In general, the longer the time horizon of your investments, the more risk you can take on. Many investors, fearing even a little amount of risk, focus only on investments that address short-term volatility even though their time horizon may be 20 years or more. The result is a poorly performing portfolio in relation to their investing goals and time horizon.

Being overconfident in a single stock or sector

Relying solely on your intuition or creating attachments to specific stocks or sectors without reading impartial analyses and reports can lead to poor investing decisions. For example, employees of a firm will often make excessively large allocations to their employer’s stock, believing they can better predict the stock price because of their intimate knowledge of their firm. This is not always true, as demonstrated by cases such as Enron.

Not investing globally

A well-diversified portfolio should include assets with low correlation to each other. Some American investors may tend to lean toward domestic securities and avoid global investing opportunities altogether. By investing only in U.S. stocks, you could miss out when foreign stocks perform well.

Being led by your emotions

Every day you hear new theories or speculation about the direction of the stock market from the media, friends, family and coworkers. It can be challenging to sort through differing opinions, filter out the noise and stay focused on your long-term investing goals. Many investors find themselves preoccupied with the fear of investment losses and mistakenly make costly investment decisions.

Paying too much in taxes

Structuring your investments properly by mitigating the effect of taxes on your portfolio can help preserve and ultimately grow more of your investments over time. Not using tax-efficient money managers or strategies where appropriate may cause you to pay taxes unnecessarily.

Common investor challenges

International investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and political instability and may not be suitable for all investors. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not ensure against market risk.

Sources: Dalbar 2010 Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior Study, S&P 500, Consumer Price Index, Citigroup BIG Treasury Bill (3M). Average stock investor, average bond investor and average asset allocation investor performance results are calculated using data supplied by the Investment Company Institute. Investor returns are represented by the change in total mutual fund assets after excluding sales, redemptions and exchanges. This method of calculation captures realized and unrealized capital gains, dividends, interest, trading costs, sales charges, fees, expenses and any other costs. After calculating investor returns in dollar terms, two percentages are calculated for the period examined: total investor return rate and annualized investor return rate. Total return rate is determined by calculating the investor return dollars as a percentage of the net of the sales, redemptions and exchanges for the period. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be invested into directly. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

• Constructing a portfolio that helps minimize losses can significantly affect your portfolio value over time.

• To bring a portfolio back to its initial value after a loss takes a return greater than the loss.

• For example — a 15% loss would take an appreciation of over a year of 17.6% to break even. Assuming an 8% annual return, the break even would take 2 years and 1 month.

The Case for Style Diversification

• Some investors fall into the trap of chasing what is hot.• Returns fluctuate in the various asset classes from year to year.• By diversifying and rebalancing regularly, you will be managing your risk and return, without sacrificing potential return.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (S&P 500) is an unmanaged index generally representative of the U.S. Stock Market, without regard to company size. The Russell 2000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index comprised of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Russell 2000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (“EAFE”) is an unmanaged index of over 900 companies, and is a generally accepted benchmark for major overseas markets. Index weightings represent the relative capitalizations of the major overseas makers included in the index on a U.S. dollar adjusted basis. The index is calculated separately; without dividends, with gross dividends reinvested and estimated tax withheld, and with gross dividends reinvested, in both U.S. Dollars and local currency. The Barclays Aggregate

Bond Index is composed of securities from Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed Securities Index and Asset-Backed Securities Index. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index comprised of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Small-cap stocks may be subject to higher degree of risk than more established companies’ securities. The illiquidity of the small-cap market may adversely affect the value of these investments. International investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and political instability and may not be suitable for all investors. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a nondiversified portfolio. Diversification does not ensure against market risk.


As a result of the market fluctuations of one asset class versus another over a given period, all portfolios drift over time from their original asset allocation. Rebalancing is an essential component of any comprehensive investment strategy and will help you avoid undue shifts in your portfolio due to financial market trends resulting in risk outside of your desired investment objective.

Importance of Rebalancing

40% Bonds

60% Equities

40% Bonds

60% Equities

15% Bonds

85% Equities

In the example above, a slightly aggressive portfolio begins with an asset allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds.

If the performance of the investment pushes that mix to 85% stocks and 15% bonds, the portfolio is now riskier than the desired allocation.

By rebalancing, your portfolio could avoid this type of market-driven change and keep it in line with your objectives and risk tolerance.

This example is intended to demonstrate the effects of rebalancing and is not intended to project performance. No strategy assures success or protects against loss. Such strategy may involve tax consequences. Bonds are subject to market and interest rate risk if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline as interest rates rise and are subject to availability and change in price. Stock investing involves risk including loss of principle.

Original Allocation Rebalanced PortfolioNon-rebalanced Portfolio


Potential benefits include:

• Accessibility to professional hedge fund managers whose funds are hard to access• Reduced correlation to stocks/bonds • Attractive risk-adjusted returns• Diversification• Multiple investment styles

Potential risks include:

• Lack of transparency• Additional layer of fees (above hedge fund manager fees)• Fund of hedge funds can be illiquid• May employ leverage• May employ aggressive tax strategies that may pose tax risks for investors and require

filing extensions

What is a fund of hedge funds?A fund of hedge funds invests in a portfolio of different hedge funds to provide broad exposure to the hedge fund industry and to diversify the risks associated with a single investment fund. Funds of hedge funds managers select hedge funds and construct portfolios based upon their selections.

They are actively managed portfolios of investments that use advanced investment strategies, such as leveraged, long, short and derivative positions, in both domestic and international markets with the goal of generating high returns (either in an absolute sense or over a specified market benchmark).

Fund of hedge funds

Alternative investments may not be suitable for all investors and should be considered as an investment for the risk capital portion of the investor’s portfolio. The strategies employed in the management of alternative investments may accelerate the velocity of potential losses. Long positions may decline as short positions rise, thereby accelerating potential losses to the investor. Derivatives/options are not suitable for all investors and certain options strategies may expose investors to significant potential losses such as losing entire amount paid for the option.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND PROPOSAL

You might consider a fund of hedge funds if you are:

• Not concerned with liquidity of investment• Seeking diversification, rebalancing or reduction of volatility in their portfolios• Looking for professional money management

The value of fund of hedge fundsFund of hedge funds show low correlation to traditional investments and may offer the potential for capital preservation in down markets, thereby improving the portfolio’s risk/return profile and reducing its overall volatility.

Fund of hedge funds strategyIf you are a long-term investor with no immediate need for liquidity, investing a portion of your portfolio in a fund of hedge funds may be a suitable investment choice for you. With a fund of hedge funds, you will have access to quality hedge fund managers and you can benefit from an investment that has low correlation to the equity and fixed income market, with the potential for capital appreciation.

• Professional management• Lack of historical correlation with almost all

other investment classes• Potential to profit in advancing markets and

declining markets, since they can hold both long and short positions

• A way to increase portfolio diversification beyond what other common stocks and fixed income securities can offer by themselves

• Exposure to broad, global markets

Potential risks include:

• Futures and forward trading is speculative and leveraged, and can be volatile

• Trading occurs on foreign exchanges which could mean higher risk

• Futures and forward markets can be illiquid or disrupted

• Diversification does not assure a profit or guarantee against loss in a declining market

• Limited ability to liquidate investment units (monthly)

What is a managed futures fund?A managed futures fund is a pool of money from various investors. Professional managers, known as commodity trading advisors, specialize in trading futures and forward contracts, and invest the money pool using a proprietary trading system, or a discretionary method, that may involve going long or short in futures contracts in areas such as metals (gold, silver), grains (soybeans, corn, wheat), equity indexes (S&P futures, Dow futures, NASDAQ 100 futures), soft commodities (cotton, cocoa, coffee, sugar), foreign currency and U.S government bond futures.

You might consider a managed futures fund if you are:

• Not concerned with liquidity of investment• Seeking diversification, rebalancing or reduction of volatility in their portfolios• Looking for exposure to a wide range of global markets

The value of managed futures fundsManaged futures funds show negative correlation to other asset classes, meaning that its investment performance is independent of other investments.

Managed futures strategyInvesting a portion of your portfolio in a managed futures fund may be a suitable investment for you if you are a long-term investor with little need for liquidity. Managed futures funds are an investment that has low-correlation to the equity and fixed income market, with potential for capital appreciation and exposure to broad, global markets.

A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is an alternative to direct ownership of real estate. An investment in a REIT allows small investors to share in the many benefits associated with real estate while reducing the overall risks that accompany property ownership.

What is a non-traded REIT?

Investing in real estate/REITs involves special risks such as potential illiquidity and may not be suitable for all investors. There is no assurance that the investment objectives of this program will be attained.


You might consider a non-traded REIT if you are:

• A long-term investor (investment horizon of 10-15 years or more)

• Not concerned with the liquidity of an investment

• Seeking income and/or capital appreciation• Seeking diversification, rebalancing, or

reduction of volatility in your portfolio

Benefits of diversification* (low correlation)

Non-traded REITs show a low or negative correlation to other asset classes over long periods, meaning that the investment performance is independent of other investments. This low correlation means that when other investments are down, non-traded REITs may continue to perform. Simply put, low correlation can help contribute to less volatility in an investment portfolio.

LPL Financial offers access to a broad non-traded REIT platform that includes some of the highest quality sponsors in the market.

The value of non-traded REITs

Investing in real estate/REITs involves special risks such as potential illiquidity and may not be suitable for all investors. There is no assurance that the investment objectives of this program will be attained.* There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not ensure against market risk.


• Shares in a non-traded REIT are generally considered illiquid until the REIT’s exit strategy either returns investors’ principle or lists on a public exchange. No public market exists for shares of common stock of a non-traded REIT. Even if investors can sell their shares through a secondary market, it is likely that they will have to sell them at a significant discount from the public offering price.

• The REIT may not achieve its desired diversification or investment objectives, or be able to pay dividends.

• The shares may be worth more or less than the offering price.• If the value of the assets in which the fund invests declines, investors’ shares may

lose value.• The REIT could be vulnerable to economic and geopolitical conditions. For example, a

REIT that invests in the office sector may be negatively affected by an economic downturn that leads to tenant defaults or vacancies.

How satellites potentially lower overall portfolio volatility


• A well-diversified mix of satellite investmentshas historically been less volatile than largecap US stocks.

• The reason is that, historically, satellitereturns have not moved in tandem with thebroad stock and bond markets or withother satellites.

Key Takeaway: Adding satellite investments to a portfolio can help enhance portfolio return potential and lower potential risk-critical given ongoing uncertainty and turbulence in traditional stock and bond markets.

Why we believe owning more than one satellite is key


A single satellite (i.e., Commodities) can be volatile from year to year - but periodic declines are often offset by positiveperformance from other satelliltes. That's why we believe owning a diversified mix of satellites is key.

Risk considerations


Emerging markets securities may be less liquid and more volatile and are subject to a number of additional risks, including but not limited to currency fluctuations and political instability.

Foreign securities may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to a number of additional risks, including but not limited to currency fluctuations and political developments.

High-yield, lower-rated securities involve greater price volatility and present greater credit risks than higher-rated fixed income securities.

Investing in derivatives often involves a high degree of financial risk because a relatively small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement in the price of the derivative and are not suitable for all investors. No representation regarding the suitability of these instruments and strategies for a particular investor is made.

The currency market affords investors a substantial degree of leverage. This leverage presents the potential for substantial profits but also entails a high degree of risk including the risk that losses may be similarly substantial. Such transactions are considered suitable only for investors who are experienced in transactions of that kind. Currency fluctuations will also affect the value of an investment.

An investment in real estate securities is subject to greater price volatility and the special risks associated with direct ownership of real estate.

Investments in commodities may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity.

Alternative Investments such as hedge funds are subject to less regulation than other types of pooled investment vehicles such as mutual funds, may make speculative investments, may be illiquid and can involve a significant use of leverage, making them substantially riskier than the other investments. An Alternative Investment Fund may incur high fees and expenses which would offset trading profits. Alternative Investment Funds are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors. The Manager of an Alternative Investment Fund has total investment discretion over the investments of the Fund and the use of a single advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean a lack of diversification, and consequentially, higher risk. Investors may have limited rights with respect to their investments, including limited voting rights and participation in the management of the Fund.

Alternative Investments by their nature, involve a substantial degree of risk, including the risk of total loss of an investor's capital. Fund performance can be volatile. There may be conflicts of interest between the Alternative Investment Fund and other service providers, including the investment manager and sponsor of the Alternative Investment. Similarly, interests in an Alternative Investment are highly illiquid and generally are not transferable without the consent of the sponsor, and applicable securities and tax laws will limit transfers. There may be conflicts of interest relating to the Alternative Investment and its service providers, including Goldman Sachs and its affiliates, who are engaged in businesses and have interests other than that of managing, distributing and otherwise providing services to the Alternative Investment.
