4Executive Summary
- Missionary Society of Connecticut
- Endowment market value as of the quarter ended
December 31, 2006 equaled 65,619,936 compared to
a September 31, 2006 market value 63,314,414.
Net withdrawals for the period totaled 489,293.
- Portfolio asset class weightings are in line with
investment policy guidelines. As of December 31,
2006, the Endowment was allocated 60.86 to
equity, 37.06 to fixed income and 2.08 to cash.
Based on a generally favorable outlook for
equity markets, the investment manager recommends
increasing equity exposure above current levels.
- For the quarter, the combined portfolio generated
a total return of 4.52 with equities returning
6.93 and bonds 1.17. For the past twelve
months, the combined portfolio returned 12.49
with equities returning 18.57 and bonds 3.97.
Total portfolio return exceeded the benchmark
policy portfolio by approximately 137 basis
points for the quarter and remains consistently
strong over the long term. - A generally healthy economic environment
supported both equity and fixed income markets
during the fourth quarter of 2006. Benign
inflation data and solid earnings pushed equity
returns significantly higher in the fourth
quarter allowing most equity indices to post
solid double digit returns for the year. On the
international front, positive economic and
corporate data combined with a weakening U.S.
dollar pushed foreign equities ahead of their
domestic counterparts for the quarter and one
year periods. - In terms of style, for the one year period ending
December 31, value strategies handily beat their
growth counterparts across market caps with
smaller company stocks beating larger company
stocks.

Guidelines
Missionary Society of Connecticut Investment
Objective The primary investment objective of the
Missionary Society is to produce as high a level
of current income as possible while still
allowing for long-term capital appreciation to
help offset inflation. In addition, the
investment committee selects for its portfolio
from among those investments meeting standards of
socially responsible investments as established
by annual meetings of the Connecticut Conference
of the United Church of Christ. To further
elaborate on this objective, it should be noted
that the investment committee provides the Bank
with annual unit income goals, and lists of those
securities which do not meet the social
responsibility requirements established by the
annual meeting of the Connecticut Conference of
the United Church of Christ.

Quarter-to-Date period ending 12/31/06
Trailing 12-month period ending 12/31/06
9/30/2006
12/31/2006
- The Fed remains somewhat data-dependent, although
the bias would appear to be remaining on hold
near-term as previous hikes continue to get fully
incorporated into the marketas the effects are
typically felt on a lagged basis. Provided
inflation remains within a reasonable proximity
to the Feds noted range, they are likely to
remain on hold throughout the first quarter and
potentially through the first half of 2007. - For the quarter, the curve shifted modestly
higher with the largest increases in the
short-to-intermediate portion of the curve. The
entire Q4 increase occurred in December as
several strong economic signals pushed rates
higher.
- The Fed remained on hold in their multi-year rate
tightening campaign during the fourth quarter.
Economic data releases for the period were mixed
as growth showed signs of slowing and inflation
ebbed somewhat as well. Early in the period
expectations called for a Q1 Fed ease but those
views were tempered as the period wore on and the
economy proved more resilient than previously
believed. - Over the past 12 months, the spread between the
2-year and 30-year UST has disappeared,
resulting in a flat and partially inverted yield
curve. We have positioned our portfolio to be
approximately curve neutral in the current
environment.
