Economic growth expected to continue at asub-average pace. Recession probability higher but still low. Job growth is the key economic driver currently. We expect housing will continue to slow and the pace of consumer spending will soften. CAPEX growth is likely to slow as well due to slower profits growth. Lower, more realistic corporate earnings forecasts have reduced some valuation risks. Fed policy is on hold, but could shift toward ease if economic momentum continues to slide. ? Core inflation remains a focus for policymakers, but is likely to trend somewhat lower this year. 0 "Data-dependent" f "Forecast-dependent" -Economic volatility around slower growth rates will help generate market volatility. ? Valuations are reasonable, particularly after the recent correction which followed eight consecutive monthly gains. ? Moderate overweight position in Equities. Maintain emphasis in Large-Caps, and slightly increase exposure to International. Shift to balanced exposure between Growth and Value styles. 0 Bonds: Emphasize quality. Reduce High Yield weighting and move up quality scale. Maintain overweight position in Mortgages.

Although recent events in the sub-prime $35,000 mortgage market have impacted investor's J~ views about the economy, we believe the $30,000 sub-prime problem is an isolated $25,000 phenomenon with little risk to the portfolio. Our mortgage allocation is composed of $20,000 conventional agency guaranteed pass- through securities and AAA-rated senior $15,000 `=-~-- tier CMBS. In addition, while the major commercial banks have nominal exposure $10,000 --- to the sub-prime market, their risk is well managed. On the other hand, we have $5,000 reduced OUr mortgage overweight WhICh Aug-89 Aug-92 Aug-95 Aug-98 Aug-01 Aug-04 was added last year, providing higher incremental yield during a lower volatility Fund Merrill Lynch Gov't/Credit A+ Index period than we currently see. We continue to be underweight corporate exposure, and have worked to minimize LBO risk. We believe these strategies will serve you well as we move through the year.
