City National Bank

At City National Asset Management, appropriate asset allocation and risk management are fundamental to the success of our investment strategies in spite of and especially during dislocations in the markets.

We know that 2007 was a disappointing and confusing year for many investors. Fortunately, our investment managers were able to read the markets before they moved. As a result, we took a more conservative approach, turning away from riskier investments early and investing in higher quality, large cap stocks. Our clients were well positioned for recent market disruptions, and our strategies continue to outperform many key market benchmarks over 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. In 2007, Barrons again named City National one of the nation’s top 40 investment managers.

With nearly $60 billion in client assets under management or administration, City National and its affiliated asset management and brokerage firms have the resources and the expertise to meet all your investment needs.

Performance figures reflect total returns before any reduction of fees or taxes but reflect brokerage commission charged for trading activity. The composite returns are calculated using a time weighted basis with quarterly valuation and a dollar weighting of the underlying accounts within the composites. The underlying accounts are managed by City National Asset Management, a department of City National Bank, on a fully discretionary basis and have a minimum size of $500,000. Accounts are added to the composite as of the beginning of the quarter following initial contribution. Equity and fixed income returns are determined using pure equity and fixed income accounts which may include a cash component. The returns reflect a settlement date basis for recording trades and income earned on an accrual basis prior to 2005. Beginning in 2005, returns reflect a trade date basis for recording trades and income on an accrual basis. Past performance is not indication of future results.
