Disclosure for Composite Performance

This presentation is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. SVL Holding Corporation dba SVL Investments Management (“SVL”) composite performance results represent time-weighted actual performance results for those discretionary client accounts managed by SVL during the corresponding time period. SVL’s Individual Equity Composite includes only discretionary client accounts managed by SVL with one of SVL‘s Individual Equity Strategies including clients that are no longer with the firm. Composite performance results are presented in United States currency. The performance figures presented are net of brokerage commissions, custodial fees and the firm’s investment advisory fee. We have also provided performance figures that are net of brokerage commissions and custodian fees but gross of the firm’s investment advisory fee, these figures are clearly marked “Gross Performance”. The investment results shown are not necessarily representative of an individually managed account’s rate-of-return. Securities used to implement the strategies can differ based on account size, custodian, and client guidelines.

Performance results for the SVL strategies referred to herein and their respective benchmarks reflect total return figures. This means their performance includes the reinvestment of dividends, interest and other earnings. Performance results for all periods are weighted based on monthly portfolio valuations.

Please Note: Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, no current or prospective client should assume that future performance will be profitable, equal the performance results reflected, or equal any corresponding historical benchmark index. The historical index performance results for all historical benchmark indices do not reflect the deduction of transaction and custodial charges, or the deduction of an investment management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing indicated historical performance results. The historical performance results for all indices are provided exclusively for comparison purposes only, so as to provide general comparative information to assist an individual client or prospective client in determining whether SVL performance meets, or continues to meet, his/her investment objective(s). For example, the S&P 500 Composite Index (the “S&P”) is a market capitalization-weighted index of 500 widely held stocks often used as a proxy for the stock market. Standard & Poor’s chooses the member companies for the S&P based on market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. Included are the common stocks of industrial, financial, utility, and transportation companies. A corresponding description of the Barclay’s Aggregate Bond Index (i.e., a fixed income index) and all other reflected indices is available from SVL upon request. It should not be assumed that SVL account holdings will correspond directly to any such comparative benchmark index. Performance of each of the SVL strategies relative to its respective performance benchmark may have been impacted positively or negatively by economic and market conditions which affect either the benchmark or the SVL strategy to a greater degree. For example, in one year, the S&P 500 declined over 20%. Since SVL‘s Aggressive strategy does not invest to the same extent as the benchmark in U.S. stocks, the impact of this decline on the strategy was less than on the benchmark. The SVL performance results do not reflect the impact of taxes.

In the event that there has been a change in a client’s investment objectives or financial situation, he/she/it is encouraged to advise SVL immediately. Different types of investments and/or investment strategies involve varying levels of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment or investment strategy (including the investments purchased and/or investment strategies devised or undertaken by SVL will be profitable).

Information pertaining to SVL‘s advisory operations, services, and fees is set forth in SVL‘s current disclosure statement, a copy of which is available from SVL upon request. Performance results have been compiled exclusively by SVL, and have not been independently verified. SVL maintains all information supporting the performance results in accordance with regulatory requirements.

This material is not intended to be used as a general guide to investing, or as a source of any specific investment recommendations, and makes no implied or express recommendations concerning the manner in which any client’s account should or would be handled, as appropriate strategies depend upon the client’s specific circumstances and investment objectives.
