Basics
The Basics of Asset Allocation
In the simplest terms, asset allocation is the process of investing in different types of investments. Youve heard the motto: Dont put all your eggs in one basket. The proper mix of investments depends on your risk tolerance, your investment goals, and your time horizon for each objective. Again, everybody is different! Your portfolio and investments should be treated differently also!

For illustration purposes only - does not represent the allocation of any particular model.

The power of diversification can be explained by the chart to the side. If a person would have invested $10,000 in a fixed investment over 25 years returning 7%, annually they would have accumulated $54,274. If a 2nd person would have invested $2,000 in each of 5 investments that annually returned 12%, 10%, 6%, 0% and one investment that lost all $2,000, who would be better off at the end of 25 years? The diversified account would have accumulated $66,254. nearly $12,000 more!
This hypothetical is used for illustration purposes, and assumes a straight-line return over the defined period. Actual results would vary. Results are not guaranteed and an investor could lose a portion or all of their money.

Thats

Enhanced diversification comes with using investments that are non-correlated to one another. In other words, using investments that work differently in different types of market conditions. This may give you a better chance to make money in rising or declining markets and potentially protect assets during market declines. Think of it this way, if you were heading outside for the day, you would check the weather forecast. Do you need sunblock or an umbrella? If you do not know what the day will hold, you may bring both with you. Investing can be the same way. Some markets rise while other fall. An enhanced diversification model gives you both sunblock and an umbrella.

Taking it to the Next Level

Emotions
Its Time In The Market - Not Market Timing
Disciplined Investing
Human emotions have the ability to affect clients investing. Its common for investors confidence to grow as your investments grow. Conversely, as markets lose value, confidence decreases. Clients tend to go to the sidelines at the wrong time. Disciplined investing does not adhere to the emotions of investing such as greed, fear, or chasing returns. Along with keeping your account diversified, using a disciplined long-term investment approach is key to obtaining consistent and sound results.

The Callan Periodic Table of Investment Returns conveys the strong case for diversification across asset classes (stocks vs. bonds), investment styles (growth vs. value), capitalizations (large vs. small), and equity markets (U.S. vs. international). The Table highlights the uncertainty inherent in all capital markets. Rankings change every year. Also noteworthy is the difference between absolute and relative performance, as returns for the top-performing asset class span a wide range over the past 20 years.

Weve developed not only three investment management platforms, but also five investment portfolios and multiple strategies within each platform to make sure all your investment needs are covered. Investing is long-term, takes patience, and we believe is best served by looking at the investing fundamentals.

Please remember to discuss immediately any pertinent changes to your financial situation.

Again, congratulations on making the pivotal decision in taking control of your investment future. Our team looks forward to serving your investment needs.

Disclosures for Creative Financial Designs, Inc. Model Portfolios Portfolios are allocated pursuant to models determined by Creative Financial Designs, Inc., (Designs) which is solely responsible for the content of each model, and the selection of specific investments within the confines of each asset class and model. Designs has discretion to change the model at any time, and will make changes to the model based on current or anticipated market conditions, as deemed appropriate. Variances Among Accounts Each model is merely a guideline, and there may be some variance between investment holdings, and therefore returns, in any particular account versus the model allocation. Additionally, there may be some differing holdings among customers investing in the same investment model portfolio. Some of these differing holdings are the result of limited investment options, such as would be the case in self-directed company retirement accounts, and/or managed variable annuity accounts. Additional variances could arise due to such things as, without limitation: programmed reallocations by an issuer, pursuant to particular product terms and conditions, or based on special requests by the client, timing issues, i.e. investors purchase a fund that subsequently is no longer available for new purchasers, so later investors invest in a comparable (though not identical) investment, size of an investment account, and the fact that transactional charges may make a reallocation disadvantageous to a particular client, or due to the investment strategy which the client has selected. Reported Returns Actual and Hypothetical Investment returns reported for a model portfolio since 1999 are based on a sampling of actual client account returns. Investment returns reported for a model portfolio prior to 1999 are hypothetical, utilizing indices that represent the appropriate investment categories for diversification purposes. Any aggregate returns are calculated based on actual and hypothetical returns. Since the hypothetical returns are generated by using the diversified portfolio indices performance over the time period, it is believed that all material market and economic conditions are portrayed. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The numbers reported as actual client returns for a given year are an average of actual returns, net of fees and expenses (Designs management fees and internal fund fees), for managed brokerage accounts, and only such accounts that have been retained throughout the given year (i.e. not opened or closed within the reporting year), and do not have any new deposits or withdrawals among the activity in the account. Certain anomalous accounts may also be omitted in the reported figures. The returns do not include managed selfdirected company retirement accounts or managed variable annuity contracts. The returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Hypothetical returns are based, in part, on historical returns of certain indices for the applicable time periods. The indices chosen for each model portfolio, and the percentages of each index, were designed to reflect the particular model portfolio allocation based on comparable models created by Ibbotson Associates, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Morningstar, Inc. Those returns do not reflect the results that would be expected based on this historical data and the current allocations in the model portfolios. These calculated returns reflect the historical figures, and not actual investment results, and are reduced by hypothetical fees and expenses of 1.5% annually. Certain investments managed by Designs have surrender charges that may be incurred upon withdrawal of funds, or fees which are not consistent with the fees and expenses in managed brokerage accounts. Actual returns for such accounts do not reflect those fees, expenses and charges, which would reduce the returns realized by persons making early withdrawals from such products. Returns do not take tax considerations into effect, which will affect the returns and the level of profitability of an account over time. Designs does not provide legal or tax advice. Reported returns are historical in nature, and past performance is not indicative or future results. Mutual funds, ETFs, and variable annuity products pay management fees to professional investment managers, which fees are separate and in addition to the management fees of Creative Financial Designs, Inc. The professional management fees paid by such investment vehicles are born by investors and reduce the net asset value, and therefore the returns, of the respective fund shares. Affiliation with CFD Investments Designs is owned and controlled by several persons who also have financial interests in cfd Investments, Inc. (CFD), a registered broker/ dealer, member FINRA and SIPC. Designs is also co-located with CFD, and several persons associated with CFD are also associated with Designs. When appropriate, assets of clients managed by Designs will be maintained in brokerage accounts established at CFD. Affiliations among CFC Companies The CFC companies are all co-located in the Creative Financial Center in Kokomo, Indiana. Many of the CFC companies have some correlation of ownership, and some may be considered affiliated entities. No CFC company is owned or controlled by another CFC company.
