We interpret the primary objective of the Miami Shores Village Pension Plan to be the maximization of total investment return through a combination of income and capital appreciation consistent with prudent investment practices. 2. The principal of the funds should be preserved (safety of principal) as well as protected against inflation. Protection of the principal value in terms of purchasing power is paramount. 3. The design of pension plans allows a long term orientation, however, a relatively consistent rate of return from year to year is also important. 4. NCNB will have full discretion to make and implement investment decisions based upon the investment objectives and guidelines established between NCNB and the Pension Board for Miami Shores Village. The wo�portion to be invested in various curitt classes n' will depend o" he outlook for the economy, he capital markets, and, of course, the objectives of the Miami Shores Village Pension Plan. 5. The investment performance of the plan will be reviewed periodically relative to the performance of other money managers and the rate of inflation. The stocks will be evaluated against the,S&P 500 Inde and other money managers. The bonds will be evaluated against the Salomon's Bond Index as well as other money managers. 6. Given the levels of interest rates today as well as total return expectations from bonds and common stocks, the Miami Shores Village Pension Plan should achieve an average annual investment return of at least 1256 over a 3 to 5 year time period.
