WEEKLY ECONOMIC UPDATE March 3, 2014 MIXED RESULTS FROM CONSUMER INDICES Wet, cold weather didn’t dampen the consumer outlook in February – at least according to the month’s final University of Michigan consumer sentiment index, which came in at 81.6. The index finished January at 81.2. On the other hand, February’s Conference Board consumer confidence index slipped 1.3 points to 78.1 (January’s reading was revised down to 79.4). 1,2 PACE OF NEW HOME SALES PICKS UP Wall Street and Main Street cheered the Census Bureau’s announcement of a 9.6% jump in new home buying in January – the rate of new home sales was the best in any month since July 2008. The National Association of Realtors’ pending home sales index rose 0.1% in January, a nice change from the 9% fall it took in the past year. December’s S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index showed a 13.4% yearly gain in home values, down from a 13.7% improvement in the November edition.2,3 Q4 GDP REVISED SIGNIFICANTLY DOWNWARD Last week, the Bureau of Economic Analysis lowered its fourth-quarter growth estimate from 3.2% to 2.4%. This did not shock economists – in a MarketWatch poll, the consensus was for a 2.4% reading. Lagging economic indicators released in February were worse than anticipated. In news pertaining to Q1 GDP, January saw a 1.0% drop in overall durable goods orders. 2 STOCKS END FEBRUARY AT NEW RECORD HIGH On February 28, the S&P 500 settled at a new record close of 1,859.45 and a gain of 1.26% on the week, even with growing concerns about Russian military action in Ukraine. The Dow stood at 16,321.71 after a 1.36% weekly advance; the NASDAQ ended the week at 4,308.12 with a 5-day gain of 1.05%.4,5,6 THIS WEEK Monday, the January consumer spending report arrives from the Commerce Department, along with ISM’s February manufacturing PMI, data on February auto sales, and earnings from Acura and Icahn Enterprises. Tuesday, quarterly results are out from AutoZone, Smith & Wesson and Radio Shack. ISM’s February service sector PMI comes out Wednesday, plus a new Federal Reserve Beige Book, the latest ADP employment change report and earnings from Revlon, BigLots! and PetSmart. Thursday brings the new Challenger job-cut report, new initial claims data, a report on January factory orders and earnings from Kroger, H&R Block, Pandora, Costco and Chesapeake Utilities; a European Central Bank policy meeting also occurs. The Labor Department’s February employment report will be released Friday. 3

MGAM Tactical Dynamic Allocation Strategy

Opportunistic portfolios are created during market bottoms taking advantage of lower prices and higher cash flows. 2002 and 2009 are excellent examples.

As equity markets rise, the goal becomes scaling back risk toward a more moderate portfolio.

Following major stock market rallies, the goal is to protect gains by moving to a more conservative portfolio. 1999 and 2007 provided opportunities in more conservative fixed income instruments as the Federal Reserve tightened interest rates.

Tactical allocation provides a planning tool for adjusting portfolios for the economic cycle, but does not eliminate risk or assure future performance.

Performance data quoted reflects past performance which cannot guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment return and principal value is subject to fluctuations with changes in market conditions such that shares may be worth more or less than original cost when sold. Returns are calculated by subtracting the value of a share at the beginning of the period from the value at the end and dividing the difference by the initial value expressing the result as a percentage change. The calculation assumes that all distributions during the period have been reinvested on the payable dates, at NAV or at market price according to how the returns are labeled. The returns do not reflect broker sales charges or commissions. Net asset value (NAV) is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Pease see final page fopr important information on risks of investing in these funds and other important disclosure.

Closed End Fund Disclosures This is not a complete list of available closed-end funds. Depending on your needs, objectives, goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance there may be other investment products that are more suitable for your particular situation. The listed funds may not be suitable for all investors. Investors must make their own decisions based on their specific investment objectives and financial circumstances. Additional information is available upon request. Prices and yields are as of the date indicated only and are subject to availability and market fluctuation/change. Closed -end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. After the initial public offering, shares are sold on the open market through a stock exchange. Holding municipal bonds within a closed-end fund could result in taxable capital gains. An insured fund guarantees only the timely payment of interest and principal on the bonds in the fund's portfolio. Insurance or escrow does not guarantee the market value of the municpal's securities or the value of the fund's shares Global/International investing involves risks not typically associated with US investing, including currency fluctuations, political instability, uncertain economic conditions and different accounting standards. Investments in high yield, non-investment grade securities are generally only suitable for aggressive investors willing to take greater risks, which could result in loss of principal and interest payments. Investing in Closed-End Funds may also involve the following risks: Market Risk - General stock market fluctuations and volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers change. Investor perceptions can be based on various and unpredictable factors including expectations regarding government economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction and political climates. The value of any security can rise or fall and when liquidated , may be worth more or less than the original investment. Price Risk - Refers to the fact that shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. Interest rate risk - The risk that arise in interest rates will cause the value of an investment to decline. Credit Risk - Refers to a bond issuer's ability to meet its obligation to make interest and principal payments, or a decline in the market's assessment of the issuer's ability to pay. Generally, lower rated securities provide higher current income but are considered to carry greater credit risk than higher rated securities. Leverage Risk - The risk of higher share price volatility and that the cost to a fund of its leveraged capital, such as preferred stock or debt, will exceed the earnings on the related assets. These securities are not suitable for all investors and should not be purchased on the basis of yield alone. The market price of these securities may decline. Dividend yields are not guaranteed and may be reduced, which may negatively impact the price of the security. Price changes may be amplified by portfolio leverage. The performance provided is past performance , which does not guarantee future results and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate when sold and may be worth more or less than the original cost.
