AndCo.

Brian reported that 2019 finished on a strong note, and that the first 30 days of January were also very
good. Brian provided a summary of the annual Bank of America Fund Manager Survey outlining the
evolution of the “biggest tail risk” as reported by fund managers of professional investment companies
from 2011 – 2019. Brian reviewed the historical data and stated that the reported “biggest tail risk” in
2019 were the trade wars, and he foresees that the coronavirus will be the “biggest tail risk” in 2020.
Brian reported that 2020 is still expected to be a good year and that historically, election years lead to a
positive equity market. Brian will discuss with the board at the March or April meeting a proposal to
reposition our fixed income investments.
The complete AndCo (Preliminary) Investment Performance Review report dated January 31, 2020 is
