Disclosure :Quarterly Investment Review - Third Quarter 2009 Branden Findeisen, New England Financial 17 Disclosure Important information on performance shown. Average Performance, Slide 15 The average performance of Portfolio Strategists within each Asset Allocation Approach shown on Slide 15 has been derived by GFWM in the following manner. Using the performance calculation methodologies described below, GFWM averages the performance of all Portfolio Strategists accounts that are available for each time period shown, using Profile 3 accounts for Strategic, Tactical Constrained and Tactical Unconstrained Portfolio Strategists. Averages are equal-weighted, so that the results reflect the average only of the stated performance for each Portfolio Strategist for the time-period shown, and do not take into account actual assets under management. Averages are presented for informational purposes only and do not reflect results of any actual client account on the GFWM Platform. Performance calculations include model and composite (actual) returns calculated on a net-of-fees basis. Information contained in the Calculation Methodology section is crucial to your understanding of the returns presented herein. These performance figures should be viewed in the context of the various risk/return profiles and asset allocation methodologies utilized by the Portfolio Strategists in developing their model tracking portfolios, and should be accompanied or preceded by the model portfolio descriptions for each Portfolio Strategist. Returns based on Model tracking portfolios (“model portfolios” or “model”) established at the time of the Strategies’ inception on the platform do not reflect the actual investment results of any individual client participating in the asset allocation program, but represent the performance of the models as initially established and as adjusted from time to time based on guidance from the Portfolio Strategists. Actual performance results for the comparable periods would have varied from the model portfolio results based upon the timing of contributions and withdrawals from individual client accounts, and client restrictions. All investments involve the risk of potential investment losses as well as the potential for investment gains. Prior performance is no guarantee of future results and there can be no assurance, and clients should not assume, that future performance of any of the model portfolios or composite of actual client portfolios (“composite”) will be comparable to past performance. Further, the prior performance figures indicated herein represent portfolio performance for only a short time period, and may not be indicative of the returns or volatility each portfolio will generate over a long time period. Returns for less than 12 months are not annualized. Performance returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The performance returns on this presentation should also be viewed in the context of the broad market and general economic conditions prevailing during the periods covered by the performance information. Where composite returns are used, actual Account Fees (Client Fee and Investment Manager fee, if applicable) are used in the calculation of net of fees performance figures. The Client Fee consists of the Financial Advisor Fee and the GFWM Advisory Fee. When model returns are presented, the maximum Account Fees applicable under the Referral Model are used to calculate performance. Please refer to Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc.’s Disclosure Brochure (Schedule H) for a complete description of all applicable fees.


Disclosure :Quarterly Investment Review - Third Quarter 2009 Branden Findeisen, New England Financial 18 Disclosure Calculation Methodology Mutual Fund and Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) Investment Solutions Since inception, all model portfolios have been generated using Centerpiece and Security APL portfolio management software. Model portfolio accounts were established using this software effective as of September 3, 1996, based upon the initial mutual fund allocations provided by each Portfolio Strategist, and were then rebalanced periodically in accordance with the instructions provided by the Strategists. Prior to May 1, 2008, Avatar Associates performance was calculated directly by Avatar Associates using Security APL and was submitted to Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc. on a monthly basis. On May 1, 2008, Avatar Associates moved to a more traditional Portfolio Strategist role and did not materially change its investment strategy or investment selection as a result. Since May 1, 2008, performance figures for Avatar Associates model portfolios are generated by Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc. using the method described above. Model performance generated by Avatar Associates prior to May 1, 2008 will be linked on a monthly basis to model performance generated by Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc. through Security APL. For comparison purposes, model performance figures for the Investment Solutions are calculated using model portfolios at TD Ameritrade and Genworth Financial Trust Company (“GFTC”). Actual client performance for certain Portfolio Strategists' mutual fund model portfolios held at different custodians will vary from the model performance at TD Ameritrade and GFTC due to fund availability.

Disclosure :Quarterly Investment Review - Third Quarter 2009 Branden Findeisen, New England Financial 19 Disclosure Consolidated Managed Account Investment Solutions Model performance figures for the CMAs are calculated by Parametric Portfolio Associates on a monthly basis. For CMA accounts, individual managers, which have been selected for each asset class, provide Parametric their specific asset allocation on which to base the performance figure calculation. The individual managers update their asset allocations selection daily to Parametric via an automated interface. Parametric calculates the performance by simulating the execution of the manager selections as of close of market and utilizes Advent Axys software for this calculation. Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc. receives such performance information directly from Parametric and does not perform any independent verification as to the accuracy of this information. Performance returns for annual and multiyear time periods are calculated using Security APL by Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc. from the monthly returns provided by Parametric. Parametric has calculated performance for the CMAs since inception of the CMA product. Model performance figures used are net of the maximum CMA fee of 2.15%. Individually Managed Account Investment Solution – Rochdale Solution Model performance figures for the Rochdale Models are calculated by Rochdale Investment Management on a monthly basis. Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc. receives such performance information directly from Rochdale and does not perform any independent verification as to the accuracy of this information. Model performance figures are presented net of the maximum IMA Fee for Rochdale of 2.40%. Advent Axys provides return calculation and pricing information. Trade Date and Accrual Accounting is used. Returns are time weighted. Unified Managed Account Investment Solutions – Genworth Multiple Strategies (“GMS”) and Privately Managed Portfolios (“PMP”) Solution Types For all periods after the achieving Composite status, the GMS and PMP performance results reflect the composite performance for all discretionary client accounts invested in the various services, using the Modified Dietz Method. Performance results for periods prior to the Composite Date reflect the composite performance of all client assets held in the investment mandates contained in the Solution. Model returns may be linked to actual composite returns when calculating quarterly or annual return figures. The Inception Date is the beginning of the first full calendar quarter for which data is available. Performance returns used are net of the actual client fees. Unified Managed Account Investment Solutions – Active Return Opportunities (“ARO”) Solution Type Model performance is presented since inception of the ARO Solution Type (October 8, 2007) until each Mandate (Global, High Current Income, and Domestic) reaches composite calculation status. Performance is calculated on a composite basis when 65% of the Profiles in the Mandate contain at least one (1) client account. The quarter following the date Mandate composite status is achieved, composite returns are used. Model returns may be linked to actual composite returns when calculating quarterly or annual return figures. Multiple year returns may include model and composite performance returns linked together to generate the multiyear return.


Disclosure :Quarterly Investment Review - Third Quarter 2009 Branden Findeisen, New England Financial 20 Disclosure Unified Managed Account Investment Solutions – Active Return Opportunities (“ARO”) Solution Type continued The following table sets forth the Maximum fee rate used in calculating net of fees model returns: Strategist Maximum Fee Rate ARO 250 High Current Income 2.80 ARO 500 High Current Income 2.80 ARO 500 Domestic 2.80 Composite returns used in the performance presentation are calculated using a value-weighted average of client assets in the Solution Type. ARO model returns include non-taxable accounts and taxable accounts with a tax-harvesting feature. This feature permits taxable accounts to hold Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) instead of the security in the model that the non-taxable accounts may hold. At any time taxable accounts may hold more or less of the ETF than non-taxable accounts, and for this reason, actual client performance for taxable accounts may deviate from the model returns used on this presentation. Unified Managed Account Investment Solutions - GFAM Preservation Strategy Solution Type Performance returns used reflect the composite performance for all discretionary client accounts invested in this Solution Type shown on a net of actual client fee basis. Composite returns used in this performance presentation are calculated using a value-weighted average of client assets in the Solution Type.
