Investments:
Progress Report from Great Lakes Advisors
Bruce Ebel:Four points: look at the 3 month, one-year, and ten-year returns of the S&P 500. Sharp rebound this
quarter of 9.48%that approximates the long-term averages of large cap US stocks. The one-year column was
13.49%return is above the long-term average and the return in the ten-year since the bottom of the financial crisis is
almost 50%higher than the long-term average. There has been a robust equity market. Second, the international
market had positive returns in the 3-month period but were well below the US markets. In the one-year column,
international stocks had an uncharacteristic negative return. Stock markets usually move the same direction so last
year was highly unusual. In the ten-year, the international stocks underperformed US stock by half the return. In the
ten years prior, international stocks outperformed US stocks. Returns are unpredictable and that is why both domestic
and international stocks are in our portfolio. Third, real estate securities for the 3-month period were at 3.93%and
the one-year were 17.47%. Real estate was the best performing asset class. Last point, returns on cash have gone up
significantly as the Fed normalizes interest rates making cash a viable asset class for investment. GLA has managed
our account in compliance with the statutory restrictions. The dollar value of our account has increased$881k since
beginning of this calendar year and a gain over the last 3 years of$1,545,654 and almost$1.9 million over the 5-year
period Last 3 months showed an 8.84%return net offees exceeding the actuarial return rate of 7%. The portfolio is
behaving the way GLA expects it to behave.
