1. Source of chart data: Ned Davis Research, 12/31/08. Stocks are represented by the S&P 500 Index, a broad-based measure of domestic stock market performance, bonds by the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, and T-bills by a 91-day Treasury Bill Index. For the 1970–12/31/08 period, bonds are represented by S&P Long-term Government Bonds. Treasury indices are total return indices held at constant maturities. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of any investment. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Stocks and bonds are subject to different risks. Stocks are also different from fixed income securities in that (i) Government bonds and Treasury notes and bills are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, and (ii) bonds, if held to maturity, may offer both a fixed rate of return and fixed principal value. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Due to ongoing market volatility, current performance may be more or less than the results shown in this presentation. The performance information does not show the effects of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns or any gains you may realize if you sell your investment. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

1. Source of chart data: FactSet, 12/31/08. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is a widely-used indicator of the U.S. stock market. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measure of domestic stock market performance that includes the reinvestment of dividends. The Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index is comprised of a broad range of investment-grade U.S. Government and corporate bonds. The Russell 2000 Index is comprised of the smallest 2,000 stocks (by market value) in the Russell 3000 Index. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index measures over 1,500 companies representing the stock markets of 21 developed countries in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the Far East and provides total returns in U.S. dollars. Commodities are represented by the S&P GSCI™, a composite index of commodity sector returns representing an unleveraged, long-only investment in commodity futures that is broadly diversified across the spectrum of commodities. Indices are unmanaged, include reinvested income and cannot be purchased directly by investors. The NAREIT Equity REIT Index is a real estate index comprised of 153 tax-qualified REITs ranging in market capitalization of $11.4 million to $16.9 billion with an aggregate market capitalization of approximately $36 billion. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the return of any investment. These indices represent market sectors that may have different risks. In the case of foreign stocks, those include currency fluctuations, foreign taxes, and political and economic factors. Small-cap stocks may be more volatile than stocks of larger, more established companies. Debt securities are subject to credit and interest rate risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall and the Fund’s share prices can fall. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Due to ongoing market volatility, current performance may be more or less than the results shown in this presentation. The performance information does not show the effects of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns or any gains you may realize if you sell your investment. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Source of data: Bloomberg, 12/31/08. The Chicago Board Options Exchange SPX Volatility Index (VIX) is a popular measure of stock market volatility. The VIX takes the weighted average of implied volatility for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and measures the volatility of the market. Dividing the S&P 500 by the VIX (ratio) gives the confidence level in relation to the market. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measure of domestic stock market performance that includes the reinvestment of dividends. The index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of any investment. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Due to ongoing market volatility, current performance may be more or less than the results shown in this presentation. The performance information does not show the effects of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns or any gains you may realize if you sell your investment. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Past Performance of Major Fixed Income Indices1
(Average annual total returns for the 10-year period ended 12/31/08)
1. Source of chart data: FactSet, 12/31/08. Treasury securities, while subject to interest rate risks like all fixed income securities, are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. High yield bonds are represented by the U.S. High Yield Master Index. Foreign bonds are represented by the Citigroup World Government Bond Index. Mortgage-backed securities are represented by the Mortgage Master Index. Investment-grade corporate bonds are represented by the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. Municipal bonds are represented by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of any investment. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Fixed income investing entails credit risks and interest rate risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall and the fund’s share prices can fall. Stocks and bonds have different risks, since bonds, if held to maturity, may offer both a fixed rate of return and a fixed principal value. High yield bonds are subject to greater risks of default than investment-grade bonds, and are subject to liquidity risk. Foreign investments are subject to special risks, such as currency fluctuations, foreign taxes and political and economic factors. Mortgage-backed securities may be especially sensitive to interest rate changes. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Due to ongoing market volatility, current performance may be more or less than the results shown in this presentation. The performance information does not show the effects of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns or any gains you may realize if you sell your investment. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
Even though, on average, equities have led the pack over the long term, bonds have proven their merit over time. Note below that different bonds have different risks.

Source of Chart Data: FactSet, 12/31/08. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measure of domestic stock market performance. The Russell 2000 Growth Index contains small-capitalization stocks with above-average growth orientation and lower dividend yields. The MSCI EAFE Index is a broad-based index of global stock performance. The Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index contains a broad range of investment grade U.S. Government and corporate bonds. The NAREIT Equity REIT Index is a real estate index comprised of 153 tax-qualified REITs ranging in market capitalization of $11.4 million to $16. 9 billion with an aggregate market capitalization of approximately $36 billion. The S&P GSCITM is a composite index of commodity sector returns representing an unleveraged, long-only investment in commodity futures that is broadly diversified across the spectrum of commodities. Stocks, commodities and bonds are subject to different risks. Stocks and commodities are also different from bonds, where bonds, if held to maturity, may offer both a fixed rate of return and a fixed principal value. Fixed income investing entails credit risks and interest rate risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall the fund’s share price can fall. Foreign investing has special risks, including currency fluctuations, foreign taxes and political and economic factors. Commodities may be subject to greater volatility. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
