Capital Markets Outlook & Asset Allocation

Fixed-Income Outlook

Treasury YieldsIn September 2008, rates were forecast to increase in first half of 2009

Credit SpreadsExpectations of a weak economic environment in 2009 suggest continuation of historically wide credit spreadsAnticipation of spreads narrowing as the economy begins to recover

Fixed-Income Outlook

Based on our fixed-income outlook, short-term instruments would be more suitable to alleviate interest rate risk

Appropriate instruments• CDs• MMMFs• Short-term Investment Grade Bonds

Equity Outlook

CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) S&P 500 volatility reached four times the historical normLikelihood of triggering a stop-loss order increased dramatically

Market became a trader’s marketBuy-and-hold strategy questioned

Uncertainty rendered any point forecast of the S&P 500 almost meaningless

2009 S&P 500 Earnings

Standard and Poor’s operating earnings estimates for 2009 were very uncertain

S&P 500 Earnings Estimates November 2008 April 2009

Top-down $62.98 $44.41

Bottom-up $91.85 $60.26

Asset Allocation

Based on our capital markets outlookSMIF allocated 100% of the portfolio to Guaranteed Cash Equivalents

• Our primary concern was to mitigate the risk of capital losses

• Uncertainty in the market was too high for equity investments

• Volatility would have stopped-out any equity investments

JNJ’s equity presentation consisted of a fundamental analysis, technical analysis, competitive analysis, multiple valuation models, and qualitative risk factors

Debate and discussionProfessors ask critical-thinking questionsClass vigorously critique the presentations

Equity Selection Process

JNJ was analyzed at great length• Three consecutive weeks of rigorous discussions• Re-evaluation of information

Equity Selection Process

Voting processSupermajority of 75-percent required for placement into portfolio

JNJ did not pass the vetting process, therefore there was no vote• Due to further significant declines in the stock market,

the team decided to abandon their original thesis
