Investment Outlook and Portfolio Strategy • Default/downgrade fears weighing markets, risks rising, but markets expect resolution • Despite current slowdown, global recovery intact • Earlier shock from spike in oil and gasoline prices diminishing • U.S. Treasury yields remain unattractive longer term as interest rates expected to move higher • Well-researched municipal bonds and active duration management can provide solid returns • Most developed stock markets appear reasonably valued • Maintaining 1400-1450 S&P target by year end based primarily on continued strong earnings • Emerging markets tightening efforts appear to be gaining traction on inflation/growth • Alternative investment strategies increasingly important in portfolio construction • Remember the three Ds: discipline, diversification, diligence The opinions are as of 7/28/11 and are subject to change without notice. Past performance is no indication of future results.
