CAPTRUST – Asset Manager Portfolio Update: Tollas provided February & March
investment reports:
US Large Cap Stocks down 2.99%
International Developed Stocks down 1.77%
Emerging Market Stocks down 2.99%
The market has been rocky because of inflation fears and the escalating Russia-
Ukraine conflict.

Asset allocation summary - No need for rebalancing
• Divest in all investments related to Russia
Our investment in Russia funds is .02% of our overall portfolio.
If we wanted to divest we would have to sell all the American Funds EuroPac
Growth funds and Hartford International Opps funds. Best to stay the course
for now and monitor the investments.
