Star Stocks Investment Performance Disclosure

01/09/1995 is that date of inception of the Star Growth Stocks notional portfolio.

07/08/2012 is the date of inception of the Star Income Stocks notional portfolio.

The Star Stock criterion has not remained constant but has been revised and updated over time. The quoted performance reflects actual Star Stock recommendations as they have been published to the public in real time and have not been retrospectively implemented.

Star Stock Past performance: Star Stock (encompassing Star Growth and Star Income) returns were calculated by Lincoln as a measure of the historical performance of the strategy for the notional portfolio, reflecting the changes in recommendations and the performance of them over time and do not represent an actual investment. Equity investments are volatile and go up and down. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance and should not be relied upon.

The performance over the stated time period/s reflects the capital return and dividend income paid on a notional portfolio that is equally invested in each Star Stock. The portfolio is rebalanced to equal weight exposure when the composition of the notional portfolio changes, in other words, when a Star Stock is entered or removed from the portfolio. Dividend distributions are reinvested in the specific investments which generate the distribution on the appropriate ex-entitlement dates.

Transactions are calculated at the closing prices for the next trading day and it is assumed there is sufficient market liquidity to make the required trades at this price. Transaction costs of 0.2% on each purchase and sale have been incorporated into the performance figure. The calculation makes no allowance for other distributions, government charges or tax, or annual subscription fees payable to Lincoln. To simplify the calculations, it is also assumed that stocks can be purchased at a fraction of a share.

Performance varies positively and negatively month to month reflecting the volatility of the equities’ asset class. Therefore, no performance figure should be taken as a reliable indicator of future performance.

The Portfolio Constructor

The Portfolio Constructor generates a hypothetical portfolio based on a specific profile selected by the user (e.g. Aggressive – Growth Focus, Balanced – General Focus, etc.) This profile is determined by the user and may or may not be appropriate for the user (for example, a user may wish to run the Constructor numerous times using different investor profiles). This tool is for research purposes only and any output is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any stock, and does not suggest appropriate weightings. Rather, the companies highlighted align with Lincoln’s investment approach and are displayed relative to the risk, return and income preference identified as objectives of the profile selected.

The Portfolio Optimiser

The Portfolio Optimiser produces a list of suggested stocks (“Optimised suggestions”) that may be considered as part of a portfolio. The inclusion of a stock is not a recommendation to buy the stock. Rather, the inclusion of a stock in the list of “Optimised suggestions” means that the stock aligns with Lincoln’s investment approach and relative to the risk, return and income preference identified as objectives of the profile selected are stocks to consider for further research. This does not necessarily mean that the portfolio or the stock is appropriate for the user.

Status

The Status (shown as green, orange or red indicators) as used in thee Portfolio Constructor and Optimiser is not a recommendation to buy, hold or sell any particular stock. Rather, the Status shows how a particular stock aligns with Lincoln’s investment approach and the relative risk, return and income preferences identified as objectives of the profile selected by the user.
