Sierra's Tax-Deferred Investment Program


Sierra's Tax-Deferred Investment Program, currently using the American Skandia no-load Variable Annuity, diversifies selectively among the available (sub-accounts) for each client -- for portfolios from $70,000.  From time to time, Sierra's Managing Directors make changes, upgrading to a new Designated Fund in the same Asset Class, or revising the Asset Allocation mix among Asset Classes.

The following are the Designated Funds recently held in our Tax-Deferred Investment Program at American Skandia:

Designated Fund Asset Class Percentage
Federated High Yield High yield corporate bonds 25%
Lord Abbett Bond-Debenture total
T.Rowe Price Global Bond Other bond funds 11%
T.Rowe Price Natural Resources Natural resource funds 5%
Cohen & Steers Realty U.S. and foreign stocks 59%
Gartmore VIT Developing Markets total
Neuberger-Berman Mid-Cap Value
ProFund VP Asia 30
ProFund VP Europe
ProFund VP Real Estate
ProFund VP Small-Cap Value
William Blair International Growth

Notes:  Every day, Sierra monitors the price trend for each Designated Fund and implements Defensive Timing:  When the Designated Fund turns down more than a normal fluctuation (which occurs on average about twice a year), Sierra moves the relevant assets temporarily into the safety of money market; and when the Designated Fund turns back up significantly, Sierra moves the relevant assets back into the Designated Fund.

Although this program is designed to have limited downside risk, some risks remain.  Please review carefully the Limitations and Cautions in your Investment Advisory Agreement.
