Investment Objective Medium-term capital appreciation with some consideration for income generation. Intended for investors who can tolerate some short-term volatility of US and international equity markets in the pursuit of medium-term returns. |  | Investment Strategy The Portfolio is invested in US equity, international equity, and US fixed income mutual funds, with a small amount (generally less than 2%) amount invested in US money market funds for liquidity. Funds are selected using the SBI methodology described in How We Invest. Investment Risks Equity investing involves fundamental economic and market risks. Additional international exposures include country, currency, and political risks. Some funds in the portfolio may invest in derivatives and thus introduce a small degree of such risk. Investing in fixed income securities such as bonds involves interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities generally decreases. |

Expected to exceed 100% on an annual basis. Trading Activity Funds are continually monitored to ensure they meet SBI criteria. Most trading occurs at the beginning of the month, with asset class rebalancing occurring on a annual basis.
DISCLOSURES Pre-Inception Methodology SBI portfolio rebalancing occurs at the beginning of each month using data available at that time. The three step investing process is: 1) identify the five top ranked strategies, 2) select the DR5SM funds with within each these strategies, and 3) select the AlphaIQSM 40 and 50 funds within these DR5 funds. An equal investment is made in each of the resulting funds. Dataset Based on all strategy identified open end, active, unique (multiple share classes eliminated) US and International equity mutual funds (for US equity there were 1095 funds end of 1997, 2119 funds end of 2007, for International, 319 at end of 1997, 584 end of 2007). Annual returns reported above are simple averages over funds in a particular portfolio for a particular month. Individual fund return is average over all share classes that existed in that month and are net of automatically deducted management and other fees, but not of fees, such as load charges, third party management fees, and SBI trading costs. Returns include the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Sources September 2008 AthenaInvest and Thomson Reuters Financial databases
