Our investment objective for defined benefit retirement plan assets is to satisfy the current and future pension benefit
obligations. The investment philosophy is to achieve this objective through diversification of the retirement plan assets. The
goal is to earn a suitable return with an appropriate level of risk while maintaining adequate liquidity to distribute benefit
payments. The diversified asset allocation includes equity positions, as well as a fixed income investments. The increased
volatility associated with equities is offset with higher expected returns, while the long duration fixed income investments help
dampen the volatility of the overall portfolio. Risk exposure is controlled by re-balancing the retirement plan assets back to
target allocations, as needed. Investment firms managing retirement plan assets carry out investment policy within their stated
guidelines. Investment performance is monitored against benchmark indices, which reflect the policy and target allocation of
the retirement plan assets.
