All investments are subject to market risk, including possible loss of principal. Because the Portfolio is primarily comprised of ETFs, an investor will indirectly bear the principal risks of the underlying ETFs, including but not limited to, risks associated with smaller companies, foreign securities, emerging markets, high yield bonds, fixed income investments and commodities. An investor will bear its share of the fees and expenses of the underlying holdings, in addition to managements fees, custodial fees, brokerage commissions and operating expenses. Because the Portfolio is primarily comprised of ETFs, they are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF's shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value ("NAV"), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact an investor's ability to sell its shares. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Portfolio in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. The Portfolio's investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate.

Month Yield represents aggregate weighted 12 month yields of the underlying holdings of the Portfolio as calculated by Morningstar, Inc. and are net of underlying ETF fees. Beta is a measure of a fund's sensitivity to market movements. Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of the volatility of the Portfolio's returns. S&P 500 is a market capitalization-weighted index of 500 widely held stocks often used as a proxy for the stock market. *The fee used for yield calculations represents the maximum annual investment management fee for a SiM separately managed account of 1.00%. The fees used for performance calculations are the fees charged on all Portfolios contained in the SiM Conservative Allocation Composite. Please refer to specific composite policies and calculation methodology contained in pages 1-2 of the Dynamic Allocation Composite Presentations at www.sim-llc.com. **Inception date December 31, 2010 Periods over 1 year are annualized returns The Portfolio performance shown represents the composite returns of SiM's Conservative Allocation Portfolios over the time periods presented. Performance of individual accounts may vary from Portfolio performance shown due to differences in cash holdings, investment timing differences, and fee structures. Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. Gross of Fees performance is gross of SiM Investment Management fees, custodial fees, brokerage commissions, and operating expenses, the inclusion of which would lower the returns presented. All returns are net of underlying ETF fees. Portfolio target allocations shown are unaudited and may not be representative of current or future investments. Portfolio target allocation information should not be relied on in making investment decisions and should not be construed as research or investment advice regarding the particular securities held. Investment returns fluctuate with changes in interest rates and other market conditions so account values may be more or less than original cost. All investing involves the potential for loss. Current performance of an investor's account may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The performance quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of an account's future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. Please refer to your Schwab monthly statement for individual account performance and further information. Morningstar Conservative Allocation: Conservative allocation portfolios seek to provide both capital appreciation and income by investing in three major areas: stocks, bonds, and cash. These portfolios tend to hold smaller positions in stocks than moderate-allocation portfolios. These portfolios typically have 20% to 50% of assets in equities and 50% to 80% of assets in fixed income and cash.
