This concept supports the idea that equity exposure should decrease as more of a participants wealth shifts from earnings potential to actual account balance. Glide Path Characteristics The glide path has four distinct phases: young, transition, early retirement, and late retirement. The glide path tends to have a higher equity allocation relative to peers, particularly early in a participant’s career. While the glide path is through-retirement in nature and it has a shorter roll down than most peers. Tactical Asset Allocation The portfolios do not use tactical allocation. Underlying Fund Characteristics The portfolios are built using exclusively passive underlying strategies. Recent Changes No significant changes were made to the Target Retirement Funds in 2017. Asset Class Construction Equity The portfolios allocate to two equity strategies tracking a broad domestic equity index and a broad international equity index (including emerging markets) respectively. Vanguard seeks to have 40% of equity assets invested in non-U.S. holdings. Fixed Income The portfolios allocate to two nominal fixed income strategies tracking a broad domestic fixed income index and a broad international fixed income index respectively. Vanguard seeks to have 30% of fixed income assets invested in non-U.S. issues. Diversifying Assets In an effort to provide a hedge against inflation, Vanguard allocates to a short duration TIPS strategies in the 2020 and shorter portfolios.

Some plans are even offering a “passive core” (a set of low-cost index options spanning the global capital markets), which allows participants to create low cost diversified portfolios. Ten years ago, only 20% of plans offered a “passive core,” while today that number is greater than 60%.¹ Trends in Menu Design Menu Simplification Plan Sponsors continue to evaluate the number of investment options offered, in an effort to simplify the decision making process for participants and in recognition of the gaining popularity of target date funds. After reaching a peak in 2011, the average number of options has declined to 17.9 today.¹ Investment Advice and Managed Accounts With the combination of improved technology and new regulation, participants will likely see an increase in access to advice solutions. This can be either “point-in-time” or ongoing via solutions such as Managed Accounts. Approximately 13% of participants indicate they would like to receive advice. This tends to increase with age, account balance, and contribution levels.² ¹ Vanguard: How America Saves 2009 and 2017 ² TIAA: New Evidence on the Demand for Advice Within Retirement Plans 16 Intl /Global SpecialtyMoney Mkt / SV Fixed Income Multi-Asset VantageTrust PLUS Fund 401(a): 22.1%, 155 457: 9.0%, 54 RWP: 11.0%, 24 Harbor International Ret 401(a):0.6%, 27 457:1.5%, 6 RWP: 0.0%, 0 Vanguard Total Intl Stock Index 401(a): 2.3%, 51 457:5.1%, 32 RWP: 4.8%, 24 Oppenheimer Developing Markets 401(a):0.7%, 38 457:0.6%, 19 RWP: 1.2%, 21 Metropolitan West Total Return Bond M 401(a): 1.8%, 24 457: 4.1%, 14 RWP: 0.6%, 9 Vanguard Ttl Bond Mkt Idx Adm 401(a): 1.6%, 31 457:1.9%, 20 RWP: 2.2%, 14 Vantagepoint Inflation Protected Secs 401(a):0.3%, 22 457: 0.2%, 15 RWP: 0.4%, 9 Templeton Global Bond R6 401(a): 0.4%, 29 457: 1.6%, 18 RWP: 0.4%, 14 VT Retirement IncomeAdvantage 401(a):0.4%, 13 457:0.0%, 6 RWP: 0.0%, 0 Vanguard Target Retirement Funds 401(a):54.2%, 233 457:61.2%, 119 RWP:67.6%, 65 Managed Accounts: 401(a): 23 457: 16 RWP: 23 Number of Participants with a Balance: 401(a): 363 457: 173 RWP: 89 Your Plan by the Numbers¹ Below is a “Gap”analysis illustrating the Plan’s investment menu offerings and respective asset classes.The percentage of total plan contributions by investment made over the past 12 months and the number of participants invested in each fund are shown below: Domestic Equity Large Value MFS Value R6 401(a):2.4%, 53 457: 1.4%,21 RWP: 1.4%,15 Large Blend Vanguard 500 Index Admiral 401(a): 4.7%, 84 457:5.2%, 38 RWP: 3.3%, 24 Large Growth T.

While the types of asset classes offered have not varied substantially by plan size or industry, participant utilization for most fund types have declined in recent years, as target date funds grow in popularity. The average participant today uses 2.7 options, compared to 3.6 in 2007. Also, the percentage of participants holding a single fund continues to increase from 30% in 2007 to 55% today, with 83% of single fund holders using a target date option.¹ 67%63% 72% 89% 33% 19%19% 70% 17% 92%94%99% 90%90%89%88%85% 66% 32% 8% 31% 11%7%9% 17% 27% 12% 17% 10% 16% 4%5%2% 20% 5% 74% 23% 28% 13%17%17%13%15%13% 7%3%7%8%6% 48% 1% 7% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Percentage of Plans Offering Utilization by Participant When Offered ¹ Vanguard: How America Saves 2017 18 Contemplating Retirement Income In recent years,the retirement industry has begun to look at in-plan income solutions that seek to address the longevity of participant spending in retirement. While there may be a case to be made for an in-plan income producing solution,many plan sponsors remain concerned about offering retirement income products,citing reasons such as fiduciary exposure (38%),high costs (33%),non-portability (29%)and risk exposure from the insurer (27%).¹As a result,allowing participants to manage retirement income via systematic withdrawals or other distribution options remains the most common approach today.² Common participant questions near and during retirement ¹ Plan Sponsor Counsel of America Survey² 2016 Plan Sponsor Defined Contribution Survey 19 Fourth Quarter 2017 Executive Summary 20 Market ReviewU.S. Treasury Curve 3m 2yr 5yr 10yr 30yr12/29/17 1.39 1.89 2.20 2.40 2.7409/29/17 1.06 1.47 1.92 2.33 2.8612/30/16 0.51 1.20 1.93 2.45 3.06Synchronized global growth remains the focal point ofinvestors’ attention,despite the current U.S economy pointingto somewhat later stage economic growth (e.g., fullemployment, modest wage growth). Whilethe standingrecovery is the third longest in U.S. history,economicexpansion overseas is generallyless mature, enabling, perhaps,additional and more impactful contributions to future globaleconomic growth.President Trump signed the $1.5 Trillion Tax Cuts and Jobs Actinto law in December, capping state and local tax deductions,adding a one‐time repatriation tax on overseas cash, andinstituting a permanent drop in the corporate tax rate, amongother policies. As expected,theFederalReservehikedratesanother quarter point, setting the federal funds target at1.25%‐1.50%, marking the third such hike of the year.The fourth quarter witnessed another round of strong resultsfrom global equity markets, led by the developing regions,specifically Asia. Emerging markets continued their globalleadership, as U.S. dollar weakness, substantial economicgrowth, and a solid rebound in corporate earnings helpedboost results.Developed equity markets also made agenerous contributionthis period, albeit at a slightly slowerpace than previous quarters.Topping off a very strong year,domestic equity marketswitnessed another quarter of solid performance,backed byrobust corporate earnings, continued healthy economicgrowth, and a momentous U.S. tax cut plan. Momentum helpedpushgrowth stocks well above their value counterpartsonceagain. Continuing this year’s trend,large caps outpaced smallcaps, after a slight slowdown in the third quarter.Returns were positive across most major global bond indexes.TheTreasury curve flattened, as shorter‐termyields rose morethan longer‐termyields, due in part to supply and economicexpectations.

Sturdy economic conditions and strong corporate fundamentals provide support for equity markets, whereas the outlook for higher interest rates may reduce future expected returns for fixed income markets.Advantageous valuations abroad, the strengthening economic environment, and continuing accommodative monetary policy favor non‐U.S. over domestic equities. Value equities in the U.S. now plot favorably compared to growth. Select price metrics have become somewhat more favorable, and the recent performance differential between the styles (value lagged growth by approximately 16% in 2017) heightens the potential for a measure of mean reversion.Fundamentals and valuations may provide a tailwind for emerging markets going forward, but these potential advantages are countered by geopolitical uncertainty and the pronounced performance surge in the space relative to developed markets. As such, our view between the two segments remains neutral.Credit spreads continued to tighten during the quarter and now sit near post crisis lows. We suspect the “beta” trade in credit is behind us and, as such, have moved to a neutral view. However, a favorable technical backdrop, a stable economic environment, and positive corporate fundamentals lend support to retaining meaningful exposure to credit, as spreads could persist at these levels for the foreseeable future.Interest rates remain at multi‐decade lows, while expectations for continued economic growth coupled with evolving central bank policies could put upward pressure on inflation. These conditions reinforce the potential for higher interest rates.Valuation considerations between large cap and small cap equities remain near long‐term averages and do not currently provide a differentiated opportunity for either capitalization segment.25 U.S. vs. International Equity Comparison00.511.522.51972197319741975197619771978197919801981198219831984198519861987198819891990199119921993199419951996199719981999200020012002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014201520162017Relative Cumulative ReturnS&P 500 vs. MSCI EAFE2/1/2002 – 11/30/2007S&P 500: 45.57%MSCI EAFE: 141.35%12/1/2007 – 12/31/2017S&P 500: 124.46%MSCI EAFE: 18.47%Source: MPI Stylus, FIA.

VantageTrust Retirement Income Advantage R5 No Status FIA does not currently monitor this fund. Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Plan Maintain 4Q 2017 – The MetWest Total Return Bond fund produced a positive absolute return during the fourth quarter, performing in-line with the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. The yield curve flattened during the quarter following the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise short term rates, while strong demand and subdued inflation kept pressure on the long end of the curve. As a result, the portfolio’s interest rate positioning was beneficial. Spread sectors continued to lead the way, most notably by corporate credit. The strategy’s underweight exposure to investment grade credit detracted from relative results. However an overweight to securitized mostly offset this. Issue selection was mixed with favorable returns coming from the non-agency mortgage space, however lower exposures to more volatile sectors such as energy and metals were a headwind. The team at MetWest remains concerned about the stage of the credit cycle and continues to position the fund with a conservative bent. This defensive positioning, notably an underweight to corporate credit and a preference for higher quality securities, has been a large factor compared to other Core Plus managers. The strategy has less exposure to corporate credit, both investment grade and high yield, as compared to peers, two sectors that have continued to perform well despite valuations moving higher. This aligns with MetWest’s relative value approach as they tend to underweight these sectors when spreads are tight (“expensive”) and overweight when spreads are wide (“cheap”). The strategy’s long-term results remain attractive and they continue to produce an attractive risk/return profile compared to the index and peers. Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Adm Maintain 4Q 2017 - In accordance with its objective, the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index sufficiently tracked its benchmark during the quarter. Vanguard Inflation-Protected Secs Adm Maintain 4Q 2017 – The Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund produced positive absolute results but modestly underperformed the benchmark. For the quarter, TIPS outperformed nominal Treasury securities as investor’s increased inflation expectations following several months of improving economic data and robust global growth. The U.S. yield curve continued to flatten, as the long end held steady, while the short end was lifted by the Federal Reserve’s December rate hike, the third of 2017. Negative security selection among 5- to 10-year TIPS was a headwind for the portfolio. Manager Commentary As of December 31, 2017 41 Manager Commentary As of December 31, 2017 Manager Manager Status Comments Templeton Global Bond R6 Maintain 4Q 2017 – The Templeton Global Bond Fund declined during the fourth quarter and underperformed its benchmark, the Citi WGBI. In the U.S., the yield curve rose slightly on the short end but overall flattened in the period as the Fed raised the federal funds rate for the third time during the year and began unwinding its balance sheet. Meanwhile, in Europe yields generally declined and the euro strengthened against the dollar, rates remained relatively unchanged in Japan from the BOJ’s target, and rates across emerging markets were generally idiosyncratic. The Fund’s negative performance in this environment was primarily due to currency positions, particularly positions in the Mexican peso and Brazilian real, and the Fund’s net-negative position in the euro. On the positive side, a position in the Indian rupee contributed to returns. The portfolio’s interest- rate strategies also had a negative impact on performance due to its negative duration exposure to U.S. Treasuries, duration exposures in Latin America, and its underweight duration to Europe. The Fund continues to maintain a defensive approach regarding developed market interest rates, while holding duration exposures in select emerging markets. MFS Value Fund R6 Maintain 4Q 2017 - The MFS Value Fund trailed the Russell 1000 Value Index in the fourth quarter. The growth style of investing outperformed the value style of investing during the fourth quarter, which continued a yearlong trend. Weaker relative returns from the utilities and real estate sectors held back value. The Fund's underperformance this quarter was primarily due to stock selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors. Within consumer discretionary, an underweight position in retailing stocks detracted from performance as the industry rebounded in the quarter and outperformed the broad market. Within financials, owning shares of insurance brokerage firm Aon Plc detracted from performance as the company reported weaker-than-expected third quarter organic revenue growth as its commercial segment fell short of projections. On the positive side, stock selection in healthcare boosted relative results. Underweight allocations to the underperforming utility and real estate sectors also helped. Despite the underperformance this quarter, the Fund finished the year ahead of the benchmark and ranked in the top quartile when compared to a universe of its peers. Vanguard 500 Index Admiral Maintain 4Q 2017 - In accordance with its investment objective, the Vanguard 500 Index Fund performed in line with the S&P 500 Index. 42 Manager Commentary As of December 31, 2017 Manager Manager Status Comments T. Rowe Price Instl Large Cap Growth Maintain 4Q 2017 – The T. Rowe Price Institutional Large Cap Growth Strategy advanced during the fourth quarter but underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index. U.S. equities concluded the year with another strong quarter of returns, driven by positive sentiment around tax reform, robust earnings growth, and positive economic data. While large cap growth stocks further stretched their outperformance over smaller market cap and value-oriented names, the markets did witness a sector reversal, as perceived beneficiaries of the corporate tax overhaul assumed leadership. Those segments with higher effective tax rates in place, namely industrials, consumer discretionary and consumer staples, were among top performers, while those with lower tax rates, including health care and real estate, generally lagged. Against this backdrop, the Fund was hindered from its underweight to consumer staples, as well as from poor selection in the group. Additionally, stock picks in financials also weighed on relative performance. Consumer staples holding Philip Morris International was among the greatest detractors, falling after reporting earnings that came in below expectations. On the positive side, favorable selection among health care names added value during the quarter and offset the negative impact from an overweight to the sector. Top contributors from the space included Anthem and Becton, Dickinson & Company. Victory Sycamore Established Value R6 Maintain 4Q 2017 - The Victory Sycamore Established Value Fund outperformed the Russell Mid Cap Value Index in the fourth quarter. Sector weighting was the driver of relative performance, while stock selection had a negative impact during the quarter. An underweight in the real estate and utilities sectors contributed to relative performance for the quarter. In addition, stock selection in financials, healthcare and real estate also added value. Conversely, stock selection in consumer staples, materials and technology detracted from returns. However, an overweight position in materials, the top performing sector in the benchmark for the period, partially offset the unfavorable impact from selection. Vanguard Extended Market Idx Adm Maintain 4Q 2017 - In accordance with its objective, the fund has performed in line with the S&P Completion Index. Harbor Mid Cap Growth Retirement Maintain 4Q 2017 – The Harbor Mid Cap Growth Fund rose during the fourth quarter but trailed the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index. Portfolio results were hindered from both adverse sector weightings and security selection. From an allocation standpoint, relative results were most negatively impacted by an overweight to health care, which was the weakest performing segment of the Index, and from an underweight to industrials, which was the top performing sector this period. A 4% cash position also hurt relative performance given the rising equity market. Concerning security selection, the weakness was primarily attributable to unfavorable results within technology and industrials, and, to a lesser extent, financials and materials. The greatest three detractors resided within the technology sector this quarter, including positions in Advanced Micro Devices, Guidewire Software and Workday. On the positive side, relative performance was buoyed by advantageous stock picks within health care and consumer discretionary. 43 Manager Commentary As of December 31, 2017 Manager Manager Status Comments Eagle Small Cap Growth R6 Maintain 4Q 2017 – The Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund produced positive absolute returns and outpaced the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the fourth quarter. Despite lagging their large cap growth counterparts on both a quarterly and annual basis, small cap growth stocks finished the year producing robust gains. Additionally, while the passing of tax reform should provide a tailwind for U.S. stocks across market caps, small caps tend to benefit most given their domestic orientation. Against this backdrop, outperformance was primarily the result of strong security selection, with sector allocations having a minimal impact on relative performance. Stock picks in information technology were particularly noteworthy, led by stakes in Coherent, Inc. and Cavium. Elsewhere, health care and consumer discretionary were also areas of strength. Health care outperformance was supported by positive results within the biotechnology space, with Sage Therapeutics among top contributors. On the negative side, adverse selection within real estate and financials somewhat moderated the relative gains. Regarding allocation, benefits from being overweight consumer discretionary and underweight health care were offset from an underweight to consumer staples and overweight to financials. Harbor International Retirement Terminate 4Q 2017 4Q 2017 – The Harbor International Fund rose during the fourth quarter but underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund’s lagging results were driven by poor stock selection, most notably in the materials and energy sectors, where positions in Bayer and Schlumberger were among the Fund’s largest detractors. Stock selection within the financials and information technology sectors also negatively impacted returns. On the positive side, stock selection in the health care sector added value in the period but for the year health care was the Fund’s largest detractor due primarily to the decline in Teva Pharmaceuticals. In terms of sector allocation, the lack of exposure to the weak utilities sector boosted relative performance, but this was offset by the portfolio’s overweight allocation to health care. The Fund was placed on Terminate this quarter due to a loss of conviction in the strategy driven by a lack of confidence in the investment team and the length of sustained underperformance. Vanguard Total Intl Stock Index Adm Maintain 4Q 2017 - In accordance with its investment objective, the Vanguard Total International Stock Index performed in line with its benchmark, the FTSE Global All Cap ex-US Index, with slight tracking error due to the impact of fair value pricing. 44 Manager Commentary As of December 31, 2017 Manager Manager Status Comments Oppenheimer Developing Markets I Maintain 4Q 2017 - The Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund rose in the fourth quarter but underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Emerging market equities experienced yet another strong quarter, capping off the year with a 37.3% gain for the index. China and the technology sector led the rally in an environment dominated by growth. Valuations across the region have increased but continue to be supported by earnings growth and strong fundamentals. Stock selection drove relative underperformance over the period led by the consumer discretionary sector. A newly initiated position in Steinhoff was a significant detractor as the stock plummeted amidst allegations of accounting irregularities. An overweight to Ctrip and not owning Naspers were other consumer discretionary detractors. Relative performance was also hurt by an overweight to Magnit, a consumer staples holding and by the fund’s cash position which averaged 4% over the period. On the positive side, stock selection within technology produced relative gains with overweights to NAVER and Tencent among the contributors. Over the year the manager has harvested gains in top performers such as Tencent, Alibaba and New Oriental Education and has made new investments in the areas of healthcare, Korean cosmetics, South Africa and natural resources. Nuveen Real Estate Secs R6 Maintain 4Q 2017 – The Nuveen Real Estate Fund outpaced its benchmark during the quarter. Within the real estate segment in general, investment values for prime real estate assets have remained relatively stable due to very strong capital flows to the sector driven by investors’ widespread acceptance of low expected returns from real estate in today’s low return environment, coupled with continued credit availability and low borrowing rates. From the portfolio perspective, the leading contributor during the quarter came mainly from stock selection and positive allocation effect in the health care REIT sector. Also, the multi-family sector was the second leading contributor. Conversely, the lodging sector was the Fund's primary detractor driven mostly by its underweight position relative to benchmark. Vanguard Target Retirement Funds Maintain 4Q 2017 – The Vanguard Target Date portfolios produced positive absolute returns during the quarter, with performance in the top half of each fund’s respective peer group, while outperforming in vintages near retirement. All five underlying funds produced positive gains against a favorable economic backdrop. Vanguard’s higher than average equity exposure was beneficial during the quarter that saw strong global and domestic equity returns backed by robust corporate earnings and healthy economic growth. The Total International Stock Index fund, in particular, provided strong relative and absolute performance. Exposure to short-term TIPs was a headwind relative to spread sectors, which outperformed treasuries during a quarter where credit spreads tightened amid strong demand. 45 Data as of December 29, 2017 unless otherwise noted. REPORT GLOSSARY Alpha - Alpha measures the difference between an investment's actual performance, and its expected performance as indicated by its market sensitivity (Beta). A positive Alpha indicates the risk-adjusted performance is above that index. Batting Average - This measures the frequency with which a manager performs better than a selected benchmark. It is computed by dividing the number of positive excess returns by the total number of excess returns during the period. Beta - Beta is defined as a Manager's sensitivity to market movements and is used to evaluate market related, or systematic risk. Beta is a measure of the linear relationship, over time, of the Manager's returns and those of the Benchmark. Beta is computed by regressing the Manager's excess returns over the risk free rate (cash proxy) against the excess returns of the Benchmark over the risk free rate. An investment that is as equally volatile as the market will have a Beta of 1.0; an investment half as volatile as the market will have a Beta of 0.5; and so on. Thus, Betas higher than 1.0 indicate that the fund is more volatile than the market. Down Market (Mkt) Capture Ratio - Down Market Capture Ratio is a measure of an investment's performance in down markets relative to the market itself. A down market is one in which the market's return is less than zero. The lower the investment's Down Market Capture Ratio, the better the investment protected capital during a market decline. A negative Down Market Capture Ratio indicates that an investment's returns rose while the market declined. Downside Risk (Semi Standard Deviation, Semi StdDev, or Downside Deviation) - Downside Risk only identifies volatility on the down side. Downside Risk measures the variability of returns below zero, whereas Standard Deviation attributes volatility in either direction to risk. The Downside Risk method calculates the deviations below zero for each observed return. Each time a return falls below zero, the sum is divided by the number of observations and the square root is taken. This result is then shown on an annualized basis. Excess - Denotes that a statistic is being measured relative to the Market Index selected. R-Squared (R2) - This statistic indicates the degree to which the observed values of one variable, such as the returns of a managed portfolio, can be explained by, or are associated with the values of another variable, such as a Market Index. The R2 values generally range from 0.0 to 1.0. An investment with an R2 of 1.0 is perfectly correlated with the market. An R2 of 0.95, for example, implies that 95% of the fluctuations in a portfolio are explained by fluctuations in the market. Sharpe Ratio - The Sharpe Ratio indicates the excess return per unit of total risk as measured by Standard Deviation. It is a ratio of excess returns over the risk free rate to the Standard Deviation. The Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the premium earned for the risk incurred by the portfolio. Standard Deviation (StdDev) - A measure of the extent to which observations in a series vary from the arithmetic mean of the series. The Standard Deviation of a series of asset returns is a measure of volatility, or risk, of the asset. The more volatile the returns, the higher the standard deviation will be. Style Map - Plots the historical exposures of a fund's style across appropriate dimensions, such as growth vs. value for equity funds. By viewing this chart, an investor can determine a manager's style consistency over time. Returns based style analysis is used. Tracking Error - Tracking Error is a measure of how closely an investment's returns track the returns of the selected Market Index. It is the annualized Standard Deviation of the differences between the investment's and the associated index's returns. If an investment tracks its associated index closely, then Tracking Error will be low. If an investment tracks its associated index perfectly, then Tracking Error will be zero. Up Market (Mkt) Capture Ratio - Up Market Capture Ratio is a measure of a product's performance in up markets relative to the market itself. An up market is one in which the market's return is greater than or equal to zero. The higher the investment's Up Market Capture Ratio, the better the investment capitalized on a rising market. 46 Glossary Alpha - A measure of return that cannot be attributed to the market. Thus, it can be thought of as how the portfolio would have preformed if the market had experienced no gain or loss. Alpha is value added over the benchmark; the higher the alpha, the better. Batting Average - Ratio defining excess performance of a portfolio in comparison to its benchmark, measured, typically, over a series of calendar quarters. Beta - Indicates the level of risk relative to the market. A beta of more than one suggests more volatility than the market, while a beta of less than one indicates less volatility than the market. Beta is also referred to as systematic risk. Down Market Capture Ratio - A measure of a portfolio's performance in down markets. The lower a portfolio's down market capture ratio, the better the manager protected capital during a market decline. Ex: a value of 90 suggests that a manager's losses were only 90% of the market loss when the market was down. A negative down market capture ratio indicates that a manager's returns rose while the market declined. Information Ratio - Measures a portfolio's excess return per unit of risk. The ratio is used to measure the value added from the information a manager possesses, adjusted for the risk taken in making active investment decisions. The greater the information ratio, the better. Performance vs Peers - Trailing return and calendar year returns reveal how the portfolio has performed versus a peer group of portfolios of similar style. R-Squared - This number reflects the correlation between a portfolio's movements and the movements of its comparative benchmark. An R-squared of 100 indicates that there is perfect correlation between the movements of a portfolio and its benchmark, while an R-squared of 0 indicates that there is no correlation between the portfolio's movements and the benchmark's movements. Return vs Standard Deviation Scatterchart - This graph shows a risk/reward relationship of the portfolio and its relative benchmark. Risk, or volatility as measured by standard deviation, is plotted along the horizontal axis. Reward, as measured by total return, is plotted along the horizontal axis. A line drawn from T-bills and through the benchmark separates efficient managers from inefficient managers. Efficient managers will plot above this line and are considered to have risk/reward tradeoffs that are superior to the benchmark. Sharpe Ratio - Reward per unit of risk, calculated using standard deviation and excess return. The greater the Sharpe Ratio, the better. Standard Deviation - A gauge of risk that measures the spread of the difference of returns from their average. The more a portfolio's returns vary from its average, the higher the standard deviation. Style Map - Using returns-based style analysis, the style map is an efficient tool to gauge the adherence of a portfolio to its style mandate. The trend of the style plots allows the viewer to identify style drift, or lack thereof. The smaller sized plots represent earlier time periods, while the larger plots represent the more recent observations. Tracking Error - The standard deviation of the portfolio's residual (i.e. excess) returns. The lower the tracking error,the closer the portfolio returns have been to its risk index. Aggressively managed portfolios would be expected to have higher tracking errors than portfolios with a more conservative investment style. Up Market Capture Ratio - A measure of a portfolio's performance in up markets. The higher a portfolio's up market capture ratio, the better the manager capitalized on a rising market. Ex: a value of 110 suggests the manager captured 110% of the market when the market was up. A negative up market ratio indicates that a manager's returns fell while the market rose.

FIRM & STRATEGY SUMMARY FIRM INFORMATION Firm Name: Walden Asset Management Ownership: A Division of Boston Trust & Investment Management Company (employee owned) Location: Boston, MA Firm Assets: $7.9 billion STRATEGY & VEHICLE INFORMATION Strategy Name: Walden Balanced Proposed Vehicle: Mutual Fund Strategy Inception: 1947 Vehicle Name: Walden Asset Management Strategy Assets: $4. billion Vehicle Assets: $618 million Vehicle Inception: 1999 Vehicle Fees: 1.00% Investment Team: This fund has been managed by William Apfel since 2012. Mr. Apfel serves as Chief Investment Officer at Boston Trust & Investment Management's parent company, where he was worked since 1989. Investment Philosophy: Boston Trust believes that securities of higher quality companies are systematically mispriced because most investors fail to discount sufficiently for risk. The conception of quality is measured on both an absolute and relative basis using quantitative, qualitative, and dynamic methods. Mission related objectives do not compromise investment performance because high quality companies tend to have strong ESG records. Process: The Balanced fund process incorporates the processes followed by the fixed income management team as well as the Social Equity team. The equity component of this portfolio is managed parri-passu with the Social Equity product. There is a minimum allocation of 20% to fixed income. The fixed income process encompasses: duration management, yield curve strategies, sector rotation, and individual security selection. Duration management is simply an evaluation of the level of rates relative to market expectations and historic norms. The duration target decision is made in consideration of the benchmark. The duration decision is implemented through yield curve positioning. They will use a variety of strategies to enhance return and reduce risk through yield curve trades. Sector decisions are made after an evaluation of relative value. The team also focuses only on investment grade securities in the corporate sector. This bias is due to the fact that they do not do credit research. Portfolio Construction: Individual sector exposure is limited to 2x the benchmark weight. The portfolio also maintains a bias to agency securities over treasuries. Risk Controls: Duration management and yield curve positioning are the main risk management tools. In addition, the portfolio is diversified by sector and security to further minimize risk.

FIRM & STRATEGY SUMMARY FIRM INFORMATION Firm Name: Capital Group Ownership: Employee Owned Location: Los Angeles, CA Firm Assets: $1.7 trillion STRATEGY & VEHICLE INFORMATION Strategy Name: EuroPacific Growth Proposed Vehicle: Mutual Fund Strategy Inception: 1984 Vehicle Name: American Funds EuroPacific Growth Fund Strategy Assets: $161.9 billion Vehicle Assets: $161.9 billion Vehicle Inception: 1984 Vehicle Fees: 0.50% (R6 - RERGX) Note: Different share class used in this report for performance due to a longer track record Investment Team: The Fund is managed using a multiple portfolio manager approach. There are 9 portfolio managers building separate portfolios for this Fund, and they are supported by the firm's equity analysts located around the globe. In addition, there is a sleeve which accounts for 20% of the Fund that is managed by these research analysts. Investment Philosophy: The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital through the use of intensive fundamental research of securities of issuers in Europe and the Pacific Basin. The assets of the Fund are divided among multiple portfolio managers who make independent investment decisions as they manage only their portions of the Fund. Process: The Fund is constructed from the bottom-up based on an intensive fundamental research effort. Investment analysts focus their efforts on trying to identify the difference between the underlying value of a company and the market price of its securities. They utilize a number of fundamental analysis techniques, including meeting with management teams, customers, suppliers, and competitors of potential investments. As a firm, they monitor over 5,000 companies via this type of direct company contact. Analysts share information with the portfolio managers who invest their sleeve of the Fund based on their independent judgment and views. Each portfolio manager runs a relatively concentrated portfolio of their highest conviction ideas which creates a system that builds a portfolio of the team's best ideas with an added layer of diversification that is designed to lower volatility while striving for consistently superior long-term returns. Portfolio Construction: Each portfolio manager pursues the Fund's investment objective utilizing his or her individual investment style and approach. Security weightings are determined by each portfolio manager for the portion of the Fund's assets that he or she manages with the total portfolio weighting an aggregate of all of the Fund's portfolio managers' and analysts' investment decisions. While the Fund's prospectus has broad guidelines, the Fund's maximum weighting will be 5% in any single company and 25% in any single industry. Typically, investments in emerging markets are left to the portfolio manager's discretion and will be evaluated internally as the weighting increases. Risk Controls: The multiple portfolio manager system creates inherent risk controls as each sleeve of the portfolio is run by a manager adding their own expertise, investment style, and risk management capabilities while providing layers of diversification which in turn help control the portfolio's overall risk. In addition, risk is controlled throughout the bottom-up stock selection process. Portfolio managers and analysts are supported by quantitative analytics that aid in their evaluation of risk for their particular investments and their portfolio. The Fund also has broad portfolio guidelines and objectives that the portfolio managers are required to take into account in their investment decisions.

FIRM & STRATEGY SUMMARY FIRM INFORMATION Firm Name: Wellington Management Company Ownership: Employee Owned Location: Boston, MA Firm Assets: $1.1 trillion STRATEGY & VEHICLE INFORMATION Strategy Name: Wellington International Opportunities Proposed Vehicle: Mutual Fund Strategy Inception: 1994 Vehicle Name: Hartford International Opportunities Strategy Assets: $9.0 billion Vehicle Assets: $3.4 billion Vehicle Inception: 1996 Vehicle Fees: 0.74% (R6 - IHOVX) Note: Different share class used in this report for performance due to a longer track record Investment Team: This Fund is sub-advised by Wellington Management Company. Nicolas Choumenkovitch is the lead portfolio manager on the strategy, a position he has held since 2006. He works with portfolio manager Tara E. Connolly Stilwell. They are supported by dedicated research analysts and further by the global industry analysts at Wellington. Investment Philosophy: The team is focused on return on capital. Their philosophy is based on the idea that returns on capital can be mis-priced by investors who don't recognize the sustainability of returns or the rate of improvement. They believe that using fundamental bottom-up research can help them discover companies whose sustainability of return on capital or improvement of return on capital are not reflected in share prices. Process: The team's process is driven by bottom-up fundamental research. Each member of the team, including the portfolio managers, have sector responsibilities. The process starts with idea sourcing through the use of a number of factors including: company meetings, quantitative screens, or through other methods of analysis. The team will also utilize Wellington's global industry analysts for potential ideas. After identifying an interesting opportunity, the team will focus on their fundamental research effort. This research can include exploring the industry, management, value chain, and if the company has any unique assets. Evaluation of the management team is an important consideration in their research process. The team will focus on the sustainability or improvement of returns on capital. They look to identify a differentiated insight that helps them to add value over the market. In valuing companies, they tend to look at the relationship between valuation and return on capital. Additionally, the team will use the discounted cash flow method in their analysis, which helps them to compare companies across sectors and countries. Other valuation metrics that are appropriate for the stock's sector or industry can also be used in deciding in a price target. Portfolio Construction: The portfolio is built from the bottom-up and will tend to own between 70 and 120 holdings. Position sizes are normally between 0.5 to 3 percent, with a typical maximum of 5 percent. Country and sector weights will generally be within 10 percent of the benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index. Emerging markets is typically limited to the greater of 10% over the benchmark or a 25% absolute weight. Risk Controls: The team's focus on fundamental analysis is an important aspect of their risk management. Additionally, the strategy tends to follow broad guidelines to help stay diversified across sectors and countries. The team will also use risk management tools in an effort to manage unintended risks. For the prospectus please go to www.hartfordfunds.com 63 Data as of December 29, 2017 unless otherwise noted.

REPORT GLOSSARY Alpha - Alpha measures the difference between an investment's actual performance, and its expected performance as indicated by its market sensitivity (Beta). A positive Alpha indicates the risk-adjusted performance is above that index. Batting Average - This measures the frequency with which a manager performs better than a selected benchmark. It is computed by dividing the number of positive excess returns by the total number of excess returns during the period. Beta - Beta is defined as a Manager's sensitivity to market movements and is used to evaluate market related, or systematic risk. Beta is a measure of the linear relationship, over time, of the Manager's returns and those of the Benchmark. Beta is computed by regressing the Manager's excess returns over the risk free rate (cash proxy) against the excess returns of the Benchmark over the risk free rate. An investment that is as equally volatile as the market will have a Beta of 1.0; an investment half as volatile as the market will have a Beta of 0.5; and so on. Thus, Betas higher than 1.0 indicate that the fund is more volatile than the market. Down Market (Mkt) Capture Ratio - Down Market Capture Ratio is a measure of an investment's performance in down markets relative to the market itself. A down market is one in which the market's return is less than zero. The lower the investment's Down Market Capture Ratio, the better the investment protected capital during a market decline. A negative Down Market Capture Ratio indicates that an investment's returns rose while the market declined. Downside Risk (Semi Standard Deviation, Semi StdDev, or Downside Deviation) - Downside Risk only identifies volatility on the down side. Downside Risk measures the variability of returns below zero, whereas Standard Deviation attributes volatility in either direction to risk. The Downside Risk method calculates the deviations below zero for each observed return. Each time a return falls below zero, the sum is divided by the number of observations and the square root is taken. This result is then shown on an annualized basis. Excess - Denotes that a statistic is being measured relative to the Market Index selected. R-Squared (R2) - This statistic indicates the degree to which the observed values of one variable, such as the returns of a managed portfolio, can be explained by, or are associated with the values of another variable, such as a Market Index. The R2 values generally range from 0.0 to 1.0. An investment with an R2 of 1.0 is perfectly correlated with the market. An R2 of 0.95, for example, implies that 95% of the fluctuations in a portfolio are explained by fluctuations in the market. Sharpe Ratio - The Sharpe Ratio indicates the excess return per unit of total risk as measured by Standard Deviation. It is a ratio of excess returns over the risk free rate to the Standard Deviation. The Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the premium earned for the risk incurred by the portfolio. Standard Deviation (StdDev) - A measure of the extent to which observations in a series vary from the arithmetic mean of the series. The Standard Deviation of a series of asset returns is a measure of volatility, or risk, of the asset. The more volatile the returns, the higher the standard deviation will be. Style Map - Plots the historical exposures of a fund's style across appropriate dimensions, such as growth vs. value for equity funds. By viewing this chart, an investor can determine a manager's style consistency over time. Returns based style analysis is used. Tracking Error - Tracking Error is a measure of how closely an investment's returns track the returns of the selected Market Index. It is the annualized Standard Deviation of the differences between the investment's and the associated index's returns. If an investment tracks its associated index closely, then Tracking Error will be low. If an investment tracks its associated index perfectly, then Tracking Error will be zero. Up Market (Mkt) Capture Ratio - Up Market Capture Ratio is a measure of a product's performance in up markets relative to the market itself. An up market is one in which the market's return is greater than or equal to zero. The higher the investment's Up Market Capture Ratio, the better the investment capitalized on a rising market. 70
