Disciplined focus on high quality, attractively valued companies
to provide compelling long-term risk-adjusted returns
Goals
• Outperform the Russell 1000 Value Index with lower volatility over full market cycles
• Achieve a competitive ranking in relevant peer universes over full market cycles
The tenets of our investment philosophy are based upon the following beliefs:
Philosophy
• Valuation is one of the most important drivers of stock price performance
• Quality is underappreciated by the market
We leverage our bottom-up, global research platform to identify undervalued, high quality companies that:
• Have sustainable, durable franchises
• Generate significant free cash flow
Strategy
• Maintain strong balance sheets
• Have strong management teams who are good stewards of capital
Our valuation approach is flexible, but we place a strong emphasis on cash flow and returns-based
methodologies
We focus on downside risk management at the individual security level

LADWP’s investment guidelines
1. The Portfolios shall be equity securities of companies doing business in the United States. It is expected that the Portfolios will
be fully invested (<5% cash) at all times. Equity securities shall be restricted to those issues listed on the New York, American,
NASDAQ, or other nationally recognized United States stock exchanges.
2. The Board recognizes the Manager is an active manager investing in a universe of securities that resembles the Russell 1000
Value Index. The Manager will adjust its Portfolios on an ongoing basis to attempt to outperform the investment results of the
Russell 1000 Value Index.
3. The Manager shall not use derivatives within the Portfolios without the expressed written consent of the Plan. If the Manager
elects to use derivatives as part of its investment strategy, the Plan requires that the Manager provide written documentation
of the rationale for using such instruments. Use of derivatives for speculation is prohibited. Only exchange-traded derivatives
will be utilized.
4. For prudent diversification, no more than 5% of the Portfolios shall be invested in any one issue as of the time of purchase,
unless that issue represents more than 5% of the Russell 1000 Value Index. In such cases, the maximum amount allowed is
125% of the benchmark weight. At no time shall any specific issue represent more than 10% of the portfolios. In addition, no
issue shall be purchased in the Portfolios if more than 10% of the outstanding shares of that company are held by the Manager
in the total of all of its accounts.
5. The Manager shall invest in securities specifically authorized in these written guidelines. Unauthorized investments include
foreign securities listed and traded on U.S. exchanges, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs). All foreign securities
except for Benefit Driven Incorporations (BDIs) included in the Russell Indexes are unauthorized. Additional unauthorized
investments include short sales, futures, direct investment in raw commodities, and the use of non-approved derivative
securities (i.e. equity futures and forward contracts), and/or the purchase of securities on margin.

Universe is the 1000 largest stocks based on market cap and incorporated in the United States from 12/1974 to 9/2010
Quality: Quintiled based on an equal weighted composite score using 3-year average annual Return on Equity (ROE), volatility of ROE (as measured by standard deviation over three years) and
leverage (assets/equity, latest annual). Quintile rankings are based on a scale of 1 through 5, with 1 being highest quality rating and 5 being the lowest.
Return on Equity is a measure of how well a company used reinvested earnings to generate additional earnings, equal to a fiscal year's after-tax income (after preferred stock dividends but before
common stock dividends) divided by book value, expressed as a percentage.
Highest quality stocks defined as those stocks in Quintile 1.

Glossary of terms
Alpha is a measure of the difference between a portfolio's actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as
measured by beta. A positive alpha figure indicates the portfolio has performed better than its beta would predict. In contrast, a
negative alpha indicates the portfolio's underperformance, given the expectations established by the fund's beta.
Beta is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to market movements. The beta of the market is 1.00 by definition. A portfolio with a
beta of 0.85 would indicate that the portfolio is expected to perform 15% worse that the market's excess return during up markets
and 15% better during down markets , assuming all other factors remain constant.
Earnings-per-share (EPS) growth represents the annualized rate of net-income-per-share growth over the trailing three-year
period for the stocks held by the portfolio. Earnings-per-share growth gives a good picture of the rate at which a company has
grown its profitability per unit of equity.
Excess return is defined as the portfolio's achieved rate of return minus the benchmark return over the same period.
Information ratio is a measure of risk adjusted performance. Dividing the portfolio active return by portfolio tracking error gives
you the information ratio.
Predicted tracking error (also called active risk) is a measure of the expected deviation from the benchmark.
Price/book ratio of the portfolio is the weighted average of the price/book ratios of all the stocks in the portfolio. Book value is the
total assets of a company, less total liabilities. A company's book value is calculated by dividing the market price of its outstanding
stock by the company's book value, and then adjusting for the number of shares outstanding (Stocks with negative book values
are excluded from this calculation.). The price/book ratio can tell investors approximately how much they're paying for a
company's assets, based on historical, rather than current, valuations.
Price/cash flow is a stock's current price divided by the trailing 12-month cash flow per share. For the portfolio this number
represents the weighted average of the price/cash-flow ratios of the stocks in the portfolio. Price/cash-flow represents the amount
an investor is willing to pay for a dollar generated from a particular company's operations. Price/cash-flow shows the ability of a
business to generate cash and acts as a gauge of liquidity and solvency.

P/E (12 month forward) is a stock's current price divided by the company's trailing 12-month earnings per share. The (P/E) ratio
of the portfolio is the weighted average of the price/earnings ratios of the stocks in the portfolio. The P/E ratio of a company,
which is a comparison of the cost of the company's stock and its expected next 12-month earnings per share, is calculated by
dividing these two figures.
Price/sales is a stock's current price divided by the company's trailing 12-month sales per share. For the portfolio this number
represents the weighted average of the price/sales ratios of the stocks in the portfolio. Price/sales represents the amount an
investor is willing to pay for a dollar generated from a particular company's operations.
R-Squared is the measure of correlation between a portfolio and the market (benchmark). Values range between 0 and 1. The
higher the value of R-Square, the greater the correlation between the two. R-squared can be used to determine the significance
of a particular beta or alpha. Generally, a higher R-squared will indicate a more useful beta figure. If the R-squared is lower, then
the beta is less relevant to the fund's performance.
Realized tracking error (also called active risk) is a measure of the actual deviation from the benchmark.
Return on Equity (ROE) represents the amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity. Return on equity
measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have
invested. ROE can be one measure of quality of a company.
Sharpe Ratio is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the
Sharpe ratio, the better the portfolio's historical risk-adjusted performance.
Standard Deviation is a statistical measurement of dispersion about an average and depicts how widely a portfolio's returns
varied over a certain period of time. When a portfoliohas a high standard deviation, the predicted range of performance is wide,
implying greater volatility.

with the GIPS® standards. MFS has been independently verified for the periods 1-Jan-1988 through 31-Dec-2009.
Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm's
policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS® standards. MFS Large Cap Value Equity Composite has been
examined for the periods 01-Feb-1989 through 31-Dec-2009. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.
Total Gross-of-fee returns in USD terms (includes both capital appreciation and income), are net of transaction costs, withholding taxes and direct
expenses, but before management fees, custody and other indirect expenses. Certain accounts may be subject to Fair Valuation as conditions warrant.
Typical separate accounts utilize 4:00 PM (London Time) foreign exchange rates; retail products will use rates deemed most appropriate for daily NAV
per share calculations. The possibility exists for performance dispersion between otherwise similarly managed accounts and also with the benchmark.
Management fees for this product style are described in full in Form ADV Part II which is available upon request.
Net composite returns are prepared by subtracting from the monthly gross returns one-twelfth of the maximum applicable annual institutional separate
account fee.
Total Returns of the Benchmark are provided for each period depicted, expressed in USD. Source of Benchmark Performance: FACTSET ®.
Benchmark returns are not examined by independent accountants.
Composite Dispersion is measured by the asset-weighted standard deviation of account returns for all accounts in the composite for the full period.
There were no non-fee paying accounts in the composite during any of the time periods depicted. No segments of balanced mandates have been
included in this composite.
Prior to 31-Mar-2009 accounts would be eligible for inclusion in the composite if they have assets greater than 5.0 MM USD and as of their second full
month of performance.
Prior to 1-Aug-2008, the maximum institutional separate account fee charged for this product was 65 bps. The net returns depicted in this report are
based upon the historical max in effect for each of the periods depicted.
For purposes of GIPS® compliance, the firm is defined as MFS Investment Management® which is comprised of Massachusetts Financial Services
Company (MFS) and MFS Institutional Advisors, Inc. (MFSI), each of which is a registered investment advisor, and MFS Heritage Trust Company, a
New Hampshire Trust company. Total firm assets are calculated at market value and include assets managed by MFS, MFSI and MFS Heritage Trust
Company as well as assets managed by MFS and MFSI in a sub-advisory capacity on behalf of affiliated investment advisors that may or may not be
registered under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, such as MFS International, Ltd. (MIL UK) and MFS Investment Management K.K.
(MIMKK), as well as assets managed by MFS and MFSI on behalf of unaffiliated investment advisors that may or may not be registered under the
United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Total firm assets for GIPS® purposes do not include assets of non-discretionary, advisory relationships.
