Many Investors Follow Their Emotions

Resist the Urge

Don’t allow your emotional state to

influence buy and sell decisions

during changing market conditions.

Investor’s returns are more

dependent on their investor

behavior than their fund

performance. The goal is not

necessarily to beat the S&P

500, but more importantly,

not to experience what the

“average equity investor”

does. The real goal is to

invest in a diversified portfolio

that is appropriate for your

risk tolerance and objectives.

Then, commit to it.

Focus on What You Can Control

7

YOU CAN CONTROL:

1. Reducing expenses

2. Diversifying portfolios

3. Minimizing taxes

4. Staying disciplined

No one can reliably forecast the market’s direction or predict which stock or investment manager will outperform.

A financial advisor can help you create a plan and focus on actions that add

value, such as managing expenses and portfolio turnover while maintaining

broad diversification.

Common Investment Approaches

8

Conventional Management – Seeks to profit from mistakes in prices; focus is on today’s story.

Attempts to identify mispricing in

securities on a consistent basis

Often relies on forecasting

techniques to pick securities

and/or time markets

Generates higher expenses,

trading costs, and excess risk

Conventional Management

9

The size and complexity of the

mutual fund landscape masks

the fact that many funds

disappear each year, often as a

result of poor investment

performance. Most people are

on a hunt for funds that will

outperform a benchmark. What

were their chances of picking

an outperforming, or “winning”

fund?

Common Investment Approaches

Indexing – Seeks to match the returns of widely followed benchmarks.

Allows commercial benchmarks

to define strategy

Tethered to a benchmark,

reducing flexibility

Accepts lower returns and

increased trading costs in favor

of tracking

Believes that, in liquid markets, prices

reflect all available information

Focuses strategies on the dimensions of

higher expected returns

Seeks to add value through portfolio design

and implementation

It is not a solicitation to invest in any specific investment product, nor is it intended to provide individualized investment advice. Asset allocation and diversification strategies do not assure a profit or protect against a loss. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment strategy will be profitable. Each asset class has inherent risks associated with that asset class. Understanding these risks is critical to making reasonable risk/return comparisons and sound investment decisions. Each of LCA's strategies may make small-cap and micro-cap investments, which are subject to greater volatility than those in other asset categories. Each of LCA's strategies may invest in fixed-income investments, which are subject to various risks, including changes in interest rates, credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, corporate events, tax ramifications, and other factors. Each of LCA's strategies may make international investments, which are subject to additional risks, such as currency fluctuation, confiscatory policy, political instability, or potential illiquidity. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks. Since no one manager is suitable for all types of investors, it is important to review investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, tax consequences and any other considerations with a financial professional before choosing an investment style or manager.

Slide 5: Average investor (average equity investor) performance results are based on a DALBAR study, “Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior (QAIB), 2014. DALBAR is an independent, Boston-based financial research firm. Using monthly fund data supplied by the Investment Company Institute, QAIB calculates investor returns as the change in 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.
