Our Dynamic Investment Process At Fifth Third, we believe that investment success is not random. Our comprehensive investment process combines our longer-term investment view with proactive attention to shorter-term strategic trends and movements in the market. We accomplish this by balancing complementary goals of enhancing risk and reward profiles and a commitment to adding value through active management of portfolios. Our focus is on generating well-researched ideas about which we have strong convictions. We then translate these ideas into broadly diversified portfolios that incorporate what we consider to be the best investment strategies from around the globe. In constructing portfolios, we employ a variety of investing options including individual securities, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, separately managed accounts, and partnerships. These options are thoughtfully applied across the spectrum of asset classes. Client portfolios may employ some or all of the following: • Cash equivalents • Taxable and tax-exempt bonds*; inflation-protected, international, and high-yield securities • Large, small, and mid cap stocks in domestic, developed international, and emerging markets • Real estate • Alternatives — including commodities, precious metals, structured products, hedge funds, and other non-correlated strategies Along the way, we use tactical adjustments and ongoing research to continually manage your portfolio — while also meeting with you on a regular basis — to ensure that any changes or events in your life are considered, and that you are still on track to meet your goals.
