14

INVESTMENT RESULTS AS OF 12/31/2016

15

PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTION : KEY THEMES

Equity Managers Underperformed• Domestic Equity

• Healthcare stock allocation and security selection was the biggest detractor for domestic equity managers in the portfolio relative to their respective indices.

• Most of the underperformance occurred in the 4th quarter as markets experienced a rapid sector rotation after the election. Health care stocks struggled relative to other sectors like financials.

• International Equity• Country allocation was the largest detractor for international

equity managers relative to their indices. • Under allocation to Japan and an overweight to the U.K. hurt

performance.

16

PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTION : KEY THEMES

Fixed Income Managers Outperformed• Opportunistic (Unconstrained) Fixed Income

• The decision to allocate to Opportunistic (Unconstrained) Fixed Income funds was the main driver of outperformance.

• These funds are in the portfolio to protect against rising interest rates.

• The 10-year treasury rose from an all-time low of 1.36% in July to 2.45% by December 31.

• Floating Rate Corporate Loans• Floating rate funds added to performance posting double digit

returns.

17

EQUITY MANAGERS

Equity Returns in 2016 were mixed• Domestic markets posted strong gains - International markets

were mixed• Large Caps (S&P 500 Index): +12.0% for the calendar year• Small Caps (Russell 2000 Index): +21.3%• International Developed (MSCI EAFE Index): +1.0%• Emerging Markets (MSCI EM Index): +11.6%

U.S. Equity Managers• No changes in manager line-up• Value mangers outperformed Growth managers• Midcap managers outperformed both the large and small cap managers

Non-U.S. Equity Managers• No changes in manager line-up• Managers primarily focused in the developed markets with exposure to

emerging markets outperformed• Dedicated Emerging Market managers posted the strongest returns

18

FIXED INCOME MANAGERS

Nominal fixed income returns were mixed• Core Fixed Income (Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate): 2.7%• Defensive Fixed Income (Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Yr Gov/Credit): 1.3%• Floating Rate Corporate Loans (CSFB Leverage Loan): 9.9%• High Yield Fixed Income (Bloomberg Barclays US Corp High Yield):

17.1%

Core Fixed Income and Defensive Fixed Income Managers • Core Fixed Income managers performed in line with the benchmark

• Returns were strong until the fourth quarter when interest rates rose substantially

• Both Defensive Fixed Income managers outperformed the index due to strong security and sector selection

Floating Rate, High Yield, and Opportunistic Managers• Both High Yield and Floating Rate Corporate Loan mangers posted

double digit gains in 2016• Opportunistic Fixed Income managers performed well during the

turbulent year. Both unconstrained fixed funds outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays index as interest rates rose during the latter half of the year

19

CONCLUSION: KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS

• Asset allocation was positive.

• The long term portfolio outperformed similarly sized peers with less risk.

• Over the last five and seven year period, both the short term portfolio and the long term portfolio have beaten their portfolio return objectives.

• Diversification is imperative.

• Equity managers have struggled relative to their benchmark

• Fixed Income managers have performed well relative to their benchmark

• Total performance has been solid
