Performance Expectations <br /> Over the long-term, five years or longer, the performance objective for the Trust will be to achieve an <br /> average total annual rate of return that is equal to or greater than the Trust's actuarial discount rate. <br /> Additionally, it is expected that the annual rate of return on Trust assets will be commensurate with the <br /> then prevailing investment environment. Measurement of this return expectation will be judged by <br /> reviewing returns in the context of industry standard benchmarks, peer universe comparisons for <br /> individual Trust investments and blended benchmark comparisons for the Trust in its entirety. <br /> Selection of Investment Managers <br /> The Advisor shall prudently select appropriate Managers to invest the assets of the Trust.
