Diversified Stock Income Plan ? Third Quarter 2021 Performance Results

October 13, 2021

Returns greater than one year are annualized. Performance includes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. Actual results for clients may differ to those presented due to various factors, including but not limited to, commission or transaction costs, as well as the timing of specific security transactions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Performance Results Calculation Methodology

The hypothetical growth of $10,000 chart illustrates the hypothetical performance of a $10,000 investment made in the list since inception. It assumes the reinvestments of dividends and capital gains. A separate line indicates the growth of the benchmark for the same time period.

List performance is calculated by geometric linking daily security returns. Dividends are reinvested on the ex-date. The list is equal weighted when rebalanced, which assumes each security is given the same (or equal) market value. The list is rebalanced when changes are made or at the end of the year if no changes were made during the preceding calendar year. We measure all performance from the time each stock is added to the list to the time that it is removed, or the last date of the measurement period. There are times when a deleted stock has been reinstated, in which case its performance is treated as two separate positions.

The DSIP List (Diversified Stock Income Plan List) focuses on companies that we believe will provide consistent annual dividend growth over a long-term investment horizon. Our objective is to provide a broad list of high quality, industry leading companies from which an investor can assemble a welldiversified portfolio. Through consistent dividend growth, our goal is to help investors stay ahead of the wealth eroding effects of inflation. Wells Fargo Advisors has developed this list to help our clients with their financial goals, however Wells Fargo Advisors also recognizes that every client has a unique investment objective, risk tolerance, and time horizon for their various investments; therefore securities on the DSIP List may not be appropriate for all investors.

Detailed list changes are available for the most recent four calendar quarters. For this and other information, please contact your financial advisor.

Wells Fargo Advisors publishes several theme-based lists of recommended equity securities. Each list is based on a specific investment objective and time horizon which may be different from the other lists. This may cause Wells Fargo Advisors to recommend an equity security to be added to one list and removed from another list. Thus, one list may contain different recommendations or conclusions that could result in short-term price movements contrary to the recommendations in another list.

Risk Considerations

Equity securities are subject to market risk which means their value may fluctuate in response to general economic and market conditions and the perception of individual issuers. Investments in equity securities are generally more volatile than other types of securities. There is no guarantee that dividend-paying stocks will return more than the overall stock market. Dividends are not guaranteed and are subject to change or elimination.
