Raymond James Portfolio Construction:

We seek to manage risk to help you achieve your long term financial goals by following a disciplined four step process:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

Diversification among different asset classes may lower overall volatility, but does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.

Develop forward looking risk, return and correlation assumptions for different asset classes

Optimize the asset allocation and build efficient portfolios from the selected asset classes

Search for high quality solutions that have consistently compensated investors for the active risk taken and construct our client’s portfolios

Continuously monitor every element of the process to ensure that we are providing an institutional-quality program

With this process, we go further than the typical approach to:•Provide you with a diversified portfolio that is constructed to help you stay on track for long-term success.•Help you avoid surprises that can negatively impact a portfolio and prevent you from reaching your goals.

• An efficient frontier represents every possible combination of assets that maximizes return at each level of portfolio risk and minimizes risk at each level of portfolio return.

• The above illustration depicts the typical relationship between risk and return. Generally, investors are expected to be compensated in returns for assuming higher levels of risk.
