Quarterly Considerations

Plan Sponsors
Non-Profit Organizations
The Wealth Office™
New Year, New Regs ‐ Expect a number of new defined contribution plan regulations in the coming year. A fiduciary definition, annuity‐related safe harbor provisions, follow‐up rules on fee and investment disclosures, and a requirement that plans illustrate lifetime earnings streams to participants are agenda items for the DOL and SEC in 2014. We’ll keep you updated.
DSA 401(k) Plan Survey ‐ Our new 401(k) Plan Survey will provide you an invaluable benchmarking tool for plan design, participant experience, and fees. Our data will help you improve employee retirement readiness through improved plan design. Look forward to our findings next quarter.
On the Mend ‐ Given improved funding status, many pension plan sponsors had already or will soon take steps to de‐risk their plans to lower funded status volatility. Companies may be further incented by risk transfer strategies this year given higher discount rates and increasing PBGC premiums.
Keeping You Informed ‐ Plan to join us for an Essential Economic Update webcast on January 29th. We also recommend you read this quarter’s Knowledge College which addresses diversification and its long‐term benefits.
Fiscal Challenge ‐ Approximately one third of universities expect weaker tuition revenue growth in fiscal year 2013, according to a Moody’s report. Several factors adversely affecting revenue include lagging growth in family income, uncertain job prospects for recent graduates, and softening demand for higher education at current "sticker" prices.
Annual Check‐Up ‐ Need help arranging your financial affairs for the preceding year? The Wealth OfficeTM annually prepares a comprehensive financial planning checklist. Please contact us for your copy of this important and useful document.
Conversion Recursion ‐ More than 10% of IRA holders with 2010 incomes in excess of $1 million took advantage of the temporary opportunity to convert an IRA to a Roth IRA. What’s more, this marked the first time Roth IRA conversion amounts were greater than Roth IRA contributions. The Wealth OfficeTM mentioned this opportunity in prior quarterly communications and will be sure to keep you apprised of similar opportunities in the future.
It’s What You Keep ‐ With the introduction of the 3.8% net investment income tax and the addition of the 20% capital gains rate, many investors are reviewing the tax‐efficiency of their investment portfolios. The Wealth OfficeTM can help you determine if your current investment strategy is as tax‐efficient as possible and if opportunities exist to enhance your portfolio’s after‐tax performance.

• U.S. equity markets were up 32.4% as measured by the S&P 500 during 2013, which was the highest calendar year return since the market downturn in 2008. The MSCI Emerging Markets index return of -2.3% paled in comparison, and the current level of dispersion in returns between the two has not been this great since the Asian Currency Crisis of the late 1990s.
• Fixed income asset classes with more exposure to lower grade credit and lower duration were favored. The 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield rose from 1.76% at year-end last year to 3.03% at the close of 2013.
• Real assets produced mixed results as MLPs rallied on strong fundamentals, commodities declined (ex-Energy) amid weaker fundamentals and macro concerns, and rising interest rates weighed on REITs.

U.S. Economic Update
• U.S. GDP increased at an annual quarter-over-quarter rate of 4.1% for the prior quarter.
• YoY inflation remains below the Fed’s 2% stated goal and will be a major focal point in its decision-making over the coming months.
• Unemployment fell to 6.7% in December as more workers left the labor force. The civilian participation rate fell to 62.8%, matching October as the lowest in 35 years.

Global Economic Update

• Fixed income investors had a mixed response to the Fed’s reduction of $10 billion in asset purchases to $75 billion per month. The 10-year Treasury yield rose on the news and ended the year at its highest value, which negatively affected Treasuries and TIPS.
• High yield continued to perform well relative to other bond asset classes, and was the best performing fixed income asset class in 2013.
• The U.S. dollar’s movement was mixed against various global currencies, and hedged foreign bonds fared better than unhedged bonds.
• Emerging market debt continued to struggle, and was down 9.0% for the year.

• In 2013, the markets favored smaller capitalization companies and growth investing. Small cap growth stocks returned 43.3% in 2013, putting the asset class 57.8% ahead of its previous market peak in October 2007.
• The S&P 500 closed the year with a 15.4x forward P/E ratio, ahead of its 10-year average of 13.9x. All sectors of the S&P 500 made positive returns in Q4 and for the year. Consumer discretionary, heath care, and industrials all posted 40% or more gains in 2013.
• Globally, 2013 favored developed countries over emerging markets. Germany, the U.S., France, and Japan led the way. Emerging market returns were also hampered for U.S. investors as the dollar rallied against most developing nations’ currencies.

Why Diversify?

Has A Market High Ever Felt So Bad?2013 brought good and bad news for investors. Unfortunately, the good AND bad news were one and the same: diversification worked extremely well. The divergence in performance between asset classes was significant, meaning the pistons in the diversification engine did what they were supposed to do. However, U.S. equities dominated all other asset classes, including developed and emerging foreign equities, real assets, and global fixed income.
The exhibit to the right shows three broadly diversified sample portfolios compared to the S&P 500 Index in 2013.
The S&P 500 Index’s total return of 32.4% in 2013 was its best calendar year return since 1997 and its fourth best in the past 38 years. Only 1980, 1995, and 1997 saw higher returns (placing 2013 in the top decile of S&P 500 historical performance since 1976).
The S&P 500’s performance was even more extraordinary when compared to virtually all other asset classes. The exhibit on the next page shows the S&P 500’s 2013 outperformance relative to other asset classes and compares this year’s results to previous calendar years. The results not only show strong absolute performance for domestic equities, but also a dominating year when compared to virtually all other asset classes.

Observations and Comments:
• The S&P 500’s 2013 outperformance relative to Core Fixed Income, High Yield, Emerging Markets, Real Estate, Commodities, and Hedge Funds was extremely high in terms of historical norms.
• The S&P 500’s 2013 excess return compared to the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index was its highest level since the Aggregate index was created in 1976.
• 1998 was the last similar year of significant excess return for the S&P 500 versus many asset classes, including Emerging Markets, Commodities, Real Estate, High Yield Bonds, and Hedge Funds.
*Different total years reflect different starting points of respective indices.
The last time the S&P 500 dominated so significantly, we were in the midst of the technology stock boom of the late 1990’s, which led then-Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan to utter his now famous “irrational exuberance” statement. In the late 1990’s, we successfully navigated our clients away from the very natural temptation to want to abandon diversification principles (in favor of an overly U.S. and equity-centric portfolio). Over the subsequent decade, the S&P 500 Index was cut in half twice (down 51% between 2007-2009 and down 45% between 2000-2002), and our typical client weathered the storm well because they remained diversified. As Mark Twain once said, “History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” The tune that’s playing now sounds very familiar.

PIMCO uses strategies intended to capitalize on the firm’s top-down analysis and their bottom-up fundamental research. PIMCO’s top downanalysis combines their outlook on the global economy and interest rates with a shorter term scenario analysis on factors such as interest ratevolatility, yield curve movements and credit trends. Once the larger themes are established, PIMCO’s portfolio management team focuses onselecting high-quality fixed income securities through the use of proprietary fundamental and quantitative research. In addition to traditionalstrategies such as sector rotation and yield curve management, PIMCO uses derivatives to implement portfolio strategy. The fund may use futurescontracts to replicate physical bonds or to create a short position in a given sector or along the yield curve. The fund is managed in a go anywherestyle which allows PIMCO to invest in securities not found in the index including, but not limited to, international developed country bonds,
convertible bonds, high yield bonds and emerging market debt.

The fund performed in line with the benchmark during the fourth quarter with some underperformance coming from the fund’s underweight to theU.S. corporate credit sector, which outperformed.However, the fund’s concentration in shorter term, less duration-sensitive securities, and holdings in mortgages and municipal bonds offset thefund’s underperformance in the U.S. corporate credit sector.Duration was added during the quarter by purchasing futures contracts to be approximately in line with the benchmark’s duration at year end.The portfolio remains underweight to the investment-grade credit sector, but the fund’s tactical positions in “Build America Bonds” are viewed assubstitutes to credit that are trading at more attractive yield spreads above treasuries than are traditional investment-grade credits.The team continues to find mortgage exposure through non-agency MBS, which the team views as more attractive on a relative value basis thanagency MBS, which the team views as overall fairly valued.During the quarter, the team added significantly to the portfolio’s futures positions that mature in late 2015 and early 2016 in order to benefit fromthe Fed delaying fed funds rate hikes longer than the market expects.Positioning remains overweight to the 0-5 year portion of the nominal yield curve and overweight to 10-20 year TIPS while limiting corporateexposure, especially in financials which are less attractive on a relative basis due to continued strong performance.

DEFINITION OF KEY STATISTICS Returns
Time-weighted average annual returns for the time periods indicated. Time weighted returns seek to eliminate the impact of external cash flows on the rate of return calculations. All returns are annualized if the period for which they are calculated exceeds one year.
Universe Comparison The universe compares the fund's returns to a group of other investment portfolios with similar investment strategies. The returns for the fund, the index and the universe percentiles are displayed. A percentile ranking of 1 is the best, while a percentile ranking of 100 is the worst. For example, a ranking of 50 indicates the fund outperformed half of the universe. A ranking of 25 indicates the fund was in the top 25% of the universe, outperforming 75%.
Returns In Up/Down Markets This measures how the fund performed in both up and down markets. The methodology is to segregate the performance for each time period into the quarters in which the market, as defined by the index, was positive and negative. Quarters with negative index returns are treated as down markets, and quarters with positive index returns are treated as up markets. Thus, in a 3 year or 12 quarter period, there might be 4 down quarters and 8 up quarters. A simple arithmetic average of returns is calculated for the fund and the index based on the up quarters. A simple arithmetic average of returns is calculated for the fund and the index based on the down quarters. The up market capture ratio is the ratio of the fund's return in up markets to the index. The down market capture ratio is the ratio of the fund's return in down markets to the index. Ideally, the fund would have a greater up market capture ratio than down market capture ratio.
Standard Deviation Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the range of performance within which the total returns of a fund fall. When a fund has a high standard deviation, the range of performance is very wide, meaning there is a greater volatility. Approximately 68% of the time, the total return of any given fund will differ from the average total return by no more than plus or minus the standard deviation figure. Ninety-five percent of the time, a fund’s total return will be within a range of plus or minus two times the standard deviation from the average total return. If the quarterly or monthly returns are all the same the standard deviation will be zero. The more they vary from one another, the higher the standard deviation. Standard deviation can be misleading as a risk indicator for funds with high total returns because large positive deviations will increase the standard deviation without a corresponding increase in the risk of the fund. While positive volatility is welcome, negative is not.
R-Squared This reflects the percentage of a fund’s movements that are explained by movements in its benchmark index. An R-squared of 100 means that all movements of a fund are completely explained by movements in the index. Conversely, a
low R-squared indicates very few of the fund’s movements are explained by movements in the benchmark index. R-squared can also be used to ascertain the significance of a particular beta. Generally, a higher R-squared will indicate a more reliable beta figure. If the R-squared is lower, then the beta is less relevant to the fund’s performance. A measure of diversification, R-squared indicates the extent to which fluctuations in portfolio returns are explained by market. An R-squared = 0.70 implies that 70% of the fluctuation in a portfolio's return is explained by the fluctuation in the market. In this instance, overweighting or underweighting of industry groups or individual securities is responsible for 30% of the fund's movement.
Beta This is a measure of a fund’s market risk. The beta of the market is 1.00. Accordingly, a fund with a 1.10 beta is expected to perform 10% better than the market in up markets and 10% worse that the market in down markets. It is
important to note, however, a low fund beta does not imply the fund has a low level of volatility; rather, a low beta means only that the fund’s market-related risk is low. Because beta analyzes the market risk of a fund by showing how responsive the fund is to the market, its usefulness depends on the degree to which the markets determine the fund's total risk (indicated by R-squared ).
Alpha The Alpha is the nonsystematic return, or the return that can’t be attributed to the market. It can be thought of as how the manager performed if the market’s return was zero. A positive alpha implies the manager added value to the return of the portfolio over that of the market. A negative alpha implies the manager did not contribute any value over the performance of the market.
Sharpe Ratio The Sharpe ratio is the excess return per unit of total risk as measured by standard deviation. Higher numbers are better, indicating more return for the level of risk experienced. The ratio is a fund's return minus the risk-free rate of return
(30-day T-Bill rate) divided by the fund’s standard deviation. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the more reward you are receiving per unit of total risk. This measure can be used to rank the performance of mutual funds or other portfolios.
Treynor Ratio The Treynor ratio measures returns earned in excess of that which could have been earned on a riskless investment per each unit of market risk. The ratio relates excess return over the risk-free rate to the additional risk taken; however, systematic risk is used instead of total risk. The Treynor ratio is similar to the Sharpe ratio, except in the fact that it uses the beta to evaluate the returns rather than the standard deviation of portfolio returns. High values mean better return for risk taken.
Tracking Error Tracking error measures the volatility of the difference in annual returns between the manager and the index. This value is calculated by measuring the standard deviation of the difference between the manager and index returns. For example, a tracking error of +/- 5 would mean there is about a 68% chance (1 standard deviation event) that the manager's returns will fall within +/- 5% of the benchmark's annual return.
Information Ratio The information ratio is a measure of the consistency of excess return. This value is determined by taking the annualized excess return over a benchmark (style benchmark by default) and dividing it by the standard deviation of excess return.
Consistency Consistency shows the percent of the periods the fund has beaten the index and the percent of the periods the index has beat the fund. A high average for the fund (e.g. over 50) is desirable, indicating the fund has beaten the index frequently.
Downside Risk Downside risk is a measure similar to standard deviation, but focuses only on the negative movements of the return series. It is calculated by taking the standard deviation of the negative quarterly set of returns. The higher the factor, the riskier the product.
M-Squared M-squared, or the Modigliani risk-adjusted performance measure is used to characterize how well a portfolio’s return rewards an investor for the amount of risk taken, relative to that of some benchmark portfolio and to the risk-free rate.

VALUATION POLICY
DiMeo Schneider does not engage an independent third party pricing service to value securities. Our reports are generated using the security prices provided by custodians used by our clients. Our pricing hierarchy is to first use valuations provided by the custodian that holds assets for the greatest number of clients. If a client holds a security not reported by this custodian, the valuation is generated from the next most prominent custodian, and so forth. Each custodian uses pricing services from outside vendors, where the vendors may generate nominally different prices. Therefore, this report can reflect minor valuation differences from those contained in a custodian’s report.
