Tenets of FIA’s Portfolio Construction Philosophy

› Long term, not tactical

› Set realistic return expectations

› Establish ranges around targets

› Make proactive adjustments

› Revisit rebalancing regularly

Strategic Asset Allocation

› Market timing is difficult, if not impossible

› Disciplined, consistent exposure to markets should align with strategic objectives

› Any allocation to cash equivalents is determined by circumstances unique to the organization

Fully Invested Portfolios

› All asset classes are considered

› Global orientation

› Generally style & market cap neutral

› Employ multiple institutionally oriented firms

Diversified Portfolios

› Unique needs & circumstances of each client serve as the basis for recommendations

› Consider both indexing and “active” strategies where appropriate

› Fees always considered
