  1. First American Title Holding Company Our 401(k) Opportunity Phase II

  2. A Prospectus A legal document offering securities or shares for sale. Among other things, the document outlines the offer, explains the objectives and provides historical financial data. Understanding key points will aid in making investment decisions.

  3. Reading a Prospectus The three most important things to understand from the prospectus: • Investment Objectives • Fees • Performance Fortunately, this information can be easily found without ordering a prospectus. Morningstar.com provides this needed information for all of our offered funds.

  4. Morningstar To access the information from Morningstar.com: • Go to www.morningstar.com • Enter the fund name or ticker in the top left window for quotes • Fund information will come up and can be printed

  5. Investment Objectives • What are the goals of the fund? • Do the goals seem realistic? • Do the investment objectives of the fund match with personal investment objectives?

  6. Fees and Expenses Fees are broken into two categories: • Sales Charges • Fund Expenses

  7. Sales Charges • Front-end Load % - A sales charge paid when an individual buys an investment, such as a mutual fund. The purpose of a load is to cover administrative expenses and transaction costs. • Deferred-Load -sales charge or commission paid when an individual sells an investment, such as a mutual fund. It is intended to discourage withdrawals

  8. Fund Expenses • Management Fees – A charge paid to a mutual fund's managers for their services. • 12b1 Expenses - An extra fee charged by some mutual funds to cover promotion, distributions, marketing expenses, and sometimes commissions to brokers.

  9. Performance • The year-by-year record of a fund's results can be found on the page for each fund • The graph showing how a $10,000 investment in the fund would have fared over the years makes it easy to track its performance. • As a benchmark, the market has earned an average of 11% over the past 30 years

  10. Remember! • Employees must look for investments that will help meet personal financial goals • First American pays many of the fees for investments in its 401(k) program • Notice the relationship between risk and return when studying each fund (risk and return ratings provided by Morningstar also)
