2) Investment Perspectives Interest Rates & Inflation Being prepared if interest rates rise What Let’s start with interest rates in the current economic climate. • Today, interest rates are among the lowest they’ve been in more than 60 years. Since reaching an all-time high in 1981, 10-year Treasury yields have steadily declined. • This has generally fueled a 30-year bull market for bond prices and reduced income opportunities from bond investments. • Low interest rates also mean that purchasing power from a bond’s income suffers. For example, if an investment is earning 2% but inflation is running at 2.5%, an investor is actually losing money. Please note that there is no assurance that historical trends will continue. Traditional “safe” sources of income, such as CDs and U.S. government bonds, are yielding a fraction of what they once did ANNUAL INCOME FROM A $100,000 INVESTMENT $6,000 $5,240 $4,820 $4,710 $5,000 $4,000 2006 $3,000 $1,760 $2,000 $1,000 0 $450 6-Month CD 6M h $250 2-Year T Bond Y Treasury B d 10-Year T Bond 0 Y Treasury B 2012 Source: J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Shown for illustrative purposes only. Income figures for Treasuries reflect yield to maturity, which may include capital gains or losses for bonds not priced at face value. U.S. government bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Why Simply put, rising interest rates generally are a risk to fixed income prices. However, changes in interest rates do not affect all bonds equally. • Generally, the longer a bond’s term, the more its price may be affected by changes in interest rates. • Different sectors of the bond market respond differently to changing interest rates. For example, longer duration bonds typically experience the greatest price pressure. In rising interest rate environments, consider diversifying your fixed income investment. • This could include high yield bonds that have less interest rate risk but more credit risk as well as bonds with shorter durations or floating rates. A 1% rise in rates affects bond prices differently PERCENT DECLINE IN VALUE RELATIVE TO A 1% INCREASE IN INTEREST RATES 0% -5% -10% 2-Year Treasuries 10-Year Treasuries 30-Year Treasuries –2.0% –9.0% -15% -20% –20.0% Source: U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve, Barclays, FactSet, J.P.

3) Variable Annuity Recognizing how inflation can erode your savings What Inflation can reduce the purchasing power of an investor’s savings and it has the potential to negatively affect the return of certain investments. Why Despite inflation being relatively low for a while, it may increase and negatively affect the value of investors’ savings. • It’s important to note that in periods of low and rising inflation, equities and commodities outperformed bonds, and particularly cash. • However, during times of high and rising inflation, commodities still outperformed but cash did better than equities.
