EverBank, its officers and employees do not provide investment or other types of advice. All factual information in this presentation has been obtained from sources the speaker(s) believed to be reliable, but the accuracy, completeness and interpretation of the factual information are not guaranteed and has not been independently verified.

Not all products are right for everyone. You should conduct your own research and/or consult your investment or other advisor before making any investment. The speaker(s) or EverBank may hold positions from time to time in assets discussed during this presentation. Charts in this presentation are provided for illustration purposes only. The elements of charts or slides may not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, or expenses. The benchmark indices are unmanaged and may not be available for direct investment. Prices of securities and other potential investments change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets in general, economic conditions, interest rates and market liquidity. Fixed income investments have interest rate risk, which refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Foreign securities have additional risk, including exchange rate changes, political, economic and social factors, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets. Investments in narrow sectors such as real estate or commodities may be subject to more volatility than more diversified investments. Asset allocation/diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risks of loss. The verbal commentary is a critical part of this presentation. Any distribution of this presentation is incomplete without the associated verbal commentary provided. Do not rely exclusively on the elements included here in your analysis.

POSTER CHILD “If we could manage 4 or 5 percent inflation over that stretch, so that prices were 25 percent higher …the real value of mortgage debt would be substantially lower than it looks on current prospect …and the economy would therefore be substantially farther along the road to sustained recovery.”

“But if there is a problem with inflation, it isn’t the one expected by the Fed’s critics, who repeatedly predicted that the Fed’s policies would lead to high inflation (if not hyperinflation), a collapsing dollar and surging commodity prices. None of that has happened.”

CENTRAL BANK CONFIDENCE (?) “…we’ve lowered interest rates I don’t know how many times, four or five times, six times maybe. And each time someone was saying this is going to be terribly expansionary, there will be inflation. …somehow runaway inflation hasn’t come yet. What I’m saying is that the jury’s still out. But there must be a statute of limitations. Also, for the people who say there will be inflation, yes, when, please.” ECB President Mario Draghi at January 2015 press conference announcing the onset of euro zone QE.

WHAT DO CRITICS FEAR? Continuing fiscal deficits are unsustainable – at some point a government will default or receive a price shock An overly expansive monetary policy will result in hyper-inflation and/or continued deflation The US, European, Japanese and Chinese economies are levitated by government participation and interference and can not stand on their own Global ‘fiat’ currencies are likely to suffer from continued expansion of monetary base CURRENCY WARS

The world will be unable to fight the next global financial crash as central banks have used up all of their ammunition trying to tackle the last crisis Central banks have backed themselves in a corner after repeatedly cutting interest rates to shore up their economies The result is too much debt, too little growth and too low interest rates “In short, low rates beget lower rates.”
