A portfolio transition is a pivotal event to an investor. Transition costs related to broad-based asset allocation and/or investment manager changes can have a significant impact on portfolio performance.

An investor can better prepare for a transition by addressing a few simple questions:

• Will my transition be simple or complex?
• Can I benefit from the use of a transition manager?
• What am I transitioning - cash or securities?
• What are the risks?
• What are my responsibilities?
• How will I measure success?
