INTRODUCTION

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

U.S.

• U.S. economic growth is picking up. Q2 and Q3 U.S. real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at over a 3% annual rate. Q4 growth appears to also be tracking over 3%.

• U.S. consumers have tailwinds from decent wage growth, rising home prices, still-low gasoline prices and very positive labor market dynamics.

• We expect housing and business investment spending to be cyclical tailwinds for the overalleconomy, extending the cycle.

• Pro-business policies are helping: Tax cuts, tax reform, repatriation and regulatory relief should boost nominal growth.

EMPLOYMENT, INFLATION & INTEREST RATES

• In our view, the dollar is mildly overvalued on a trade-weighted basis, but interest rate differentials are favorable and we think the dollar will remain broadly stable with slight upside risks against the Yen.

• We would approach hedging Japanese and European equities on a case-by-case basis given our more neutral view.

• We expect WTI oil prices to move higher into the $55 to $65 range in 2018.

WATCH LIST

GLOBAL

•The synchronized global growth upturn that began last year continues.

•Purchasing Managers’ Indexes show the global expansion has become more synchronized as emerging markets pick up after a five- year slowdown. Capital spending plans are rising with global growth. •Corporate profits are rising around the world as global growth improves

•We expect 3.5% plus real global GDP growth this year and next.

PROFITS

DOLLAR & COMMODITIES

• Higher nominal growth and a lower corporate tax rate add to the upside risks to profits. S&P 500 earnings per share are expected to rise by double-digits in 2018.

• Job growth remains steady and the current trend is sufficient to keep the unemployment rate below 4.5% for the next year. The participation rate is rising.

• Wage growth is moderate and suggests inflation is well anchored.• We expect the Fed to continue to gradually remove

monetary accommodation through rate hikes and balance sheet tapering.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY AND ASSET ALLOCATION

TACTICAL SHIFTS May 2017: • Lowered our conviction on U.S. small-caps to a slight overweight • Slightly increased our exposure to International Developed equities March 2017: • Shifted to an overweight position in International Developed equities and more specifically Emerging MarketsDecember 2016: • Shifted to an overweight in equities • Within equities we raised U.S. small caps to

overweight • Moved further underweight fixed income

EQUITIES

From secular stagnation to fiscal reflation and synchronized economic expansionEquities remain attractive vs.

Fixed Income on relative basis

Utilize a barbell strategy in Fixed Income to accumulate cash flowNon-U.S. economies gather

momentum Emerging Markets remain a

tailwind to world growth

MARKET VIEWS

FIXED INCOME• We believe neutral-to-slightly-short duration is

warranted with a preference of credit over Treasurys emphasizing investment grade corporates – particularly banks.

• We are currently underweight corporate high yieldas valuations are rich, especially for lower-rated credit tiers.

• Within high yield, an allocation to leveraged loansmay be prudent due to the floating-rate couponsecured status and minimal yield give-up to unsecured bonds. Allocations should be with an active manager favoring higher-quality securities.

• We believe active management can potentially help improve risk-adjusted returns in a rising rate environment and that a barbell strategy of owning bonds or bond funds with both longer and shorter maturities could potentially outperform a bulleted strategy in a rising yield environment

ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS

• In our view, general economic conditions are good for commercial real estate going into 2018 with a few property type and market exceptions.

• We believe the environment for active management, and hence hedge funds, will remain favorable heading into 2018 and we continue to prefer a diversified approach when investing in this heterogeneous asset class. We maintain a moderately positive view on equity long / short strategies.

• We believe it is prudent for investors to plan a disciplined multi-year private equity commitment strategy that builds portfolio diversity among different managers, styles, geographies and, importantly, vintages.

Asset Allocation and diversification do not ensure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Source: Global Wealth & Investment Management Investment Strategy Committee (ISC) as of December 2017. ARFMDW69.

• Prefer non-U.S. equities and large capitalization multi-nationals in the U.S.

• Focus on financials for value and long-term secular growth in healthcare and technology.

• Overweight Emerging Markets and International Developed equities, specifically Europe and Japan.

• Dividend growth over high dividend yield.• Hybrid mix of active and passive managers based

on market opportunity.

CORE PORTFOLIO FUNDAMENTALS

When assessing your portfolio in light of our current guidance, consider the tactical positioning around asset allocation in reference to your own individual risk tolerance, time horizon, objectives and liquidity needs. Certain investments may not be appropriate, given your specific circumstances and investment plan. Certain security types, like hedged strategies and private equity investments, are subject to eligibility and suitability criteria. Your financial advisor can help you customize your portfolio in light of your specific circumstances.

Executive Summary As of December 31, 2017“Slumps are like a soft bed. They are easy to get into, and hard to get out of.”

Johnny Bench

Studies of severe financial crises have found that economic recoveries can take as much as a decade before the return to trend growth resumes. Looks like one of the leaders of the “Big Red Machine” was right, it is hard to climb out of that soft bed. After nearly 10 years of hitting “snooze” and rolling over, for the US and World economy it appears we’re finally up, both feet on the floor and ready to go.

The US first fell into recession in December 2007. The failure of Lehman Brothers about a year later was in hindsight the low point of the cycle, leading eventually to unemployment just below 10%. While it was by no means clear that the correct response was the policy package put in place at the time, again in hindsight it appears to have saved us from a 1930’s style debacle and to have brought us to the much more sanguine place we are today. So why did it take 10 years? Not all banks around the world were pulling on their oars in synch. Europe tightened too soon, Japan waffled, and China had to adjust to a worldwide lack of demand. Faced with less commodity demand emerging market economies swooned. Nobody listened to the coxswain.

Staring in 2016, all the oars started dipping simultaneously. The Dollar moderated, and having moved from under-to-overvalued, finally adjusted down to a reasonable level. Europe began a program of QE, Japan under Shinzo Abe began to pull out of two decades of deflationary stagnation, and China came to accommodate the realities of change. Anticipating corporate tax relief in the US, earnings expectations improved. Anticipation of further growth replaced accommodation to what was worldwide. For the first time since 2007, growth became consistent across the globe, banishing the “secular stagnation” that had come to be seen as the status quo.

Growth of consumer confidence, increases in productivity, tax cuts and expectation of tax cuts, and low inflation all had powerful influences on the return of D&B Portfolio over the year. The Russell 1000 Growth Index was up over 30% on the year, while the Russell 1000 Value returned close to 14%. For 2017, the portfolio is up 16.90% versus 15.81% for the D&B Benchmark II. Differences between companies within sectors became more important and pronounced as expectations increased, leading to the perfect environment for active management. Nearly all our active choices outperformed, some by considerable margins. Asset allocation added 77 bp to return in 2017, while the combination of sub-sector allocation and manager selection added another 32 bp. Our decision to include passive counterparts as a counterfoil decreased costs, and still paid off handsomely as most performed in double-digits and in line with their benchmarks.

Where do we go in 2018? Given tax reform benefits, we now forecast S&P 500 earnings to be in the $148-$158 range. This equates to a year-end 2018 target of 2800-3000 for the Index. We expect the Fed to continue to make regular, 25bp increases in short-term rates over the year. Several factors that had held longer-term rates low, flattening the yield curve, should mitigate. The rise in long rates will affirm the global recovery, without creating panic—it will be the final confirmation that the Fed’s reflation policy has succeeded, the nail in the coffin of deflationary fears. Portfolio risk in 2018 is likely to be geopolitical—but with a less aggressive allocation and more aggressive rebalancing stance coupled with the active/passive dynamic put in place in 2017, we can meet 2018 with some considerable confidence. 2018 should be a good year—the D&B Fund is well situated to step up to the plate and swing.

APPENDIX

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE TRUSTEES, PAGE 1

The enclosed is a revised version of the report for Q3 of 2017. As you recall, I had requested at the meeting to have the Investment Policy document for the D&B Pool reaffirmed, which was done on October 18. Although no changes were made, to update our systems I was required to reenter all of the documentation into our records. In doing so, I found a mismatch between the component weights of sub-indices in the D&B benchmark, and the Strategic weights as represented in the IPS. In essence, the benchmark has been too easy to beat through the life of the account—but particularly in the last few quarters when domestic equities have outperformed. I came back to Meriden on the 20th and met with Louis, bringing with me a new assessment of performance using a benchmark which is an EXACT match to the Strategic allocation. He has asked me to share this with all of you.

The differences between the original and revised benchmark, and the Strategic allocation are as below:

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE TRUSTEES, PAGE 2

Performance of the D&B Fund is unchanged, but the gap between the account and New Benchmark has somewhat closed. By any standard, performance is still good, but not as good as previously reported. The table below shows the impact:

Interestingly, while having a “riskier” benchmark reduces the delta between the account performance and benchmark, the impact on Risk Analytics (following page) places the D&B account for the first time in the desired upper-left quadrant of the chart. Not quite Seattle, but maybe Des Moines, IA. Further, the Attribution Analysis now seems more robust, indicating a positive Macro allocation effect, a slight negative effect of our Sector tilt towards value, and a positive Selection effect created by the resurgence of our active managers.

Our intention is to use the revised benchmark going forward in all reporting. I wanted all of you to be aware of the differences between the prior data and as revised. I hope you will see the revised benchmark as an improvement we had to bring to you as quickly as possible, and one which will make interpretation of performance data more robust in the future.

RISK ANALYTICS STATISTICS DEFINITIONSGLOSSARYStandard Deviation – A gauge of volatility which measures the spread of the difference of returns from their average. The more a portfolio’s returns vary from its average, the higher the standard deviation. It is important to note that higher than average returns affect the standard deviation just as lower than average returns. Thus, it is not a measure of downside risk. Since it measures total variation of return, standard deviation is a measure of total risk.

Beta – A relative measure of the risk level of a manager. Beta measures the systematic risk, or the return that is attributable to market movements. This measure is relative to the benchmark defined (i.e. Standard and Poor’s 500, Russell 2000 Growth). A beta equal to one indicates a risk level equivalent to the benchmark defined. Higher betas are associated with higher risk levels, while lower betas are associated with lower risk levels.

Alpha – A measure of the difference between a portfolio’s actual return and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta. A positive Alpha figure indicates the portfolio has performed better than its beta would predict.

R-Squared – It is used to show how much a manager’s variability can be accounted for by the market. For example, if a portfolio’s R-squared is 0.79, then 79% of the manager’s variability is due to market conditions. As R-squared approaches 100, the portfolio is more closely correlated with the market.

Sharpe Ratio – A ratio that measures risk-adjusted performance. The Sharpe Ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate – such as that of the 90-Day Treasury Bill –from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the standard deviation of the portfolio returns.

Treynor Ratio – A risk-adjusted measure of return based on systematic risk. The ratio measures returns earned in excess of that which could have been earned on a riskless investment per each unit of market risk. It is similar to the Sharpe Ratio, with the difference being that the Treynor Ratio uses beta as the measurement of volatility.

Tracking Error – A divergence between the price behavior of a position or a portfolio and the price behavior of a benchmark.

Information Ratio – A ratio of portfolio returns above the returns of a benchmark (usually an index) to the volatility of those returns. The information Ratio (IR) measures a portfolio manager’s ability to generate excess returns relative to a benchmark, but also attempts to identify the consistency of the investor.

This document is provided for informational purposes only and is not issued in connection with any proposed offering of securities. This Furthermore, it is not used with regard to any specific investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any specific recipient and does not contain investment recommendations.

IMPORTANT: The material presented is designed to provide general information about ideas and strategies. It is for discussion purposes since the availability and effectiveness of any strategy is dependent upon your individual facts and circumstances.

Investing in securities involves risks, and there is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities. Economic or financial forecasts are inherently limited and should not be relied on as an indicator of future investment performance.

Alternative investments are sold to qualified investors only by a Confidential Offering Memorandum or Prospectus. Alternative investments may provide limited liquidity and include, among other things, the risks inherent in investing in securities and derivatives, using leverage and engaging in short sales. An investment in an alternative investment fund is speculative, involves substantial risks and should not constitute a complete investment program. An alternative investment fund may be highly leveraged. The volatility of the price of its interests may involve complex tax structures and there may be delays in distributing important tax information. These funds may not be subject to the same regulatory requirements as registered mutual funds, and their fees and expenses may be high. Interests in alternative investments are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other governmental agency. An investment in alternative investments is not suitable or desirable for all investors. Investors may lose all or a portion of the capital invested.

Nonfinancial assets, such as closely held businesses, real estate, oil, gas and mineral properties, and timber, farm and ranch land, are complex in nature and involve risks including total loss of value. Special risk considerations include natural events (for example, earthquakes or fires), complex tax considerations and lack of liquidity. Nonfinancial assets are not suitable for all investors.

Always consult with your independent attorney, tax advisor, insurance agent or other professional advisors for final recommendations and before changing or implementing any financial, tax, or estate planning strategy. Client eligibility may apply.

Asset allocation cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

RISK ANALYTICS STATISTICS DEFINITIONSGLOSSARYStandard Deviation – A gauge of volatility which measures the spread of the difference of returns from their average. The more a portfolio’s returns vary from its average, the higher the standard deviation. It is important to note that higher than average returns affect the standard deviation just as lower than average returns. Thus, it is not a measure of downside risk. Since it measures total variation of return, standard deviation is a measure of total risk.

Beta – A relative measure of the risk level of a manager. Beta measures the systematic risk, or the return that is attributable to market movements. This measure is relative to the benchmark defined (i.e. Standard and Poor’s 500, Russell 2000 Growth). A beta equal to one indicates a risk level equivalent to the benchmark defined. Higher betas are associated with higher risk levels, while lower betas are associated with lower risk levels.

Alpha – A measure of the difference between a portfolio’s actual return and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta. A positive Alpha figure indicates the portfolio has performed better than its beta would predict.

R-Squared – It is used to show how much a manager’s variability can be accounted for by the market. For example, if a portfolio’s R-squared is 0.79, then 79% of the manager’s variability is due to market conditions. As R-squared approaches 100, the portfolio is more closely correlated with the market.

Sharpe Ratio – A ratio that measures risk-adjusted performance. The Sharpe ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate – such as that of the 90-Day Treasury Bill – from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the standard deviation of the portfolio returns.

Treynor Ratio – A risk-adjusted measure of return based on systematic risk. The ratio measures returns earned in excess of that which could have been earned on a riskless investment per each unit of market risk. It is similar to the Sharpe Ratio, with the difference being that the Treynor ratio uses beta as the measurement of volatility.

Tracking Error – A divergence between the price behavior of a position or a portfolio and the price behavior of a benchmark.

Information Ratio – A ratio of portfolio returns above the returns of a benchmark (usually an index) to the volatility of those returns. The information ratio (IR) measures a portfolio manager’s ability to generate excess returns relative to a benchmark, but also attempts to identify the consistency of the investor.
