Research has shown that certain characteristics within the stock and bond markets have been rewarded with higher returns over long periods of time. The overwhelming majority of an investment portfolio’s performance can be explained by an investor’s exposure to those characteristics, and portfolios can be structured along those dimensions of higher expected returns. Additionally, great value can be harvested through a patient, flexible approach to portfolio implementation. Taken together in an integrated process, research, portfolio design, and implementation are all areas of opportunity where TRB, seeks to add value over and above market benchmarks. We believe: Public capital markets work In liquid and competitive markets, security prices reflect available information about fundamental values and the aggregate risk and return expectations of all market participants. Consequently, active management strategies cannot consistently add value through security selection and market timing. Risk and Reward Are Related A portfolio’s performance will be driven by its asset class allocation, not security selection. Diversification is essential Diversification helps reduce uncertainty, manage risk, and increase the reliability of outcomes. Furthermore, diversification adds value by providing flexibility, which in turn allows for more effective management and trading of a portfolio. Costs Matter Keeping costs as low as possible helps ensure that clients experience greater returns. Retirement & Investments What does retirement look like to you?

Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans Attracting and retaining a valuable workforce is necessary to compete in today’s marketplace. By offering employer-sponsored plans to your valued employees, you are able to distinguish yourself from your competitors and provide peace of mind to your employees. Just as important, employer-sponsored plans provide significant tax advantages to both employers and employees. Types of Plans: 401(k) retirement plans 403(b) retirement plans 457 retirement plans Individual Retirement Accounts An Individual Retirement Account (IRA), is an account which allows you to save for retirement while also enjoying certain tax breaks. Unlike retirement plans that are offered by your employer, IRAs are opened by individuals and small business owners. There are several types of IRAs: Traditional IRAs Roth IRAs SEP IRAs Simple IRAs Traditional IRAs A traditional IRA is a retirement savings account which offers unique tax benefits. Capital gains, interest payments, and dividends, which are held in your IRA, grow tax-deferred. This means you don’t pay taxes until you withdraw the funds from your account. This allows your IRA to grow much faster than a taxable account. In addition, your contributions may be tax deductible. Eligibility Anyone with earned income may contribute to an IRA up to the age of 70 ½ Your eligibility to deduct your contributions depends on your modified gross income and whether you participate in an employer sponsored plan Contributions You can contribute up to $6,000 annually, $7,000 if you’re over the age of 50 Your IRA may invest in several types of investments, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and CDs Roth IRAs A Roth IRA is a retirement savings vehicle which allows after-tax contributions, meaning you’ve already paid taxes on them. In exchange for no upfront tax break, your withdrawals grow tax free and earnings may be exempt from federal income taxes. If you expect to be in a higher tax bracket by retirement, this type of IRA may be right for you. Eligibility Anyone with earned income may contribute to an IRA – there are no age restrictions You are not required to meet Required Minimum Distributions starting at 70 ½ Contributions Contributions are not tax deductible You can contribute up to $6,000 annually, $7,000 if you’re over the age of 50.
