COMPOSITE RESULTS: This strategy was introduced in June 2004 with a different manager for one of the sleeves. This sleeve was replaced in October of 2005. Accordingly, there are no statistics yet for actual managed accounts in this strategy. All portfolio results represent a hypothetical combination of composites for the individual component strategies. Each composite is based on fully discretionary managed accounts with comparable investment objectives and risk tolerance currently managed as stand alone accounts within each strategy. Composite results are representative of how the portfolios are invested as of the indicated date but may not include all accounts. Actual account holdings will vary depending on the size of an account, cash flows and account restrictions. Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily. Under no circumstances does the information contained within represent a recommendation to buy or sell securities. Individual portfolio results may vary as a result of market conditions, trading costs, and certain other factors which may be unique to each account. Investing in securities entails risk.

Earnings growth is the percentage increase or decrease from the prior period's earnings. P/E is a ratio of security price to earnings per share. Typically, an undervalued security is characterized by a low P/E ratio, while an overvalued security is characterized by a high P/E ratio. P/B is a ratio of the current stock price to the book value. This is used to identify undervalued stocks. Beta measures the market related volatility of a portfolio, where the overall market is represented by the S & P 500 for equity portfolios. The beta of the market is 1 by definition. A beta greater than 1 indicates that a portfolio's market risk is greater than the overall market's, while a beta less than 1 indicates a lower market risk. It is important to note that having a low market risk does not necessarily imply low volatility. A portfolio may have a low beta while experiencing volatility as a result of factors independent of the market. Portfolio yield is the weighted average dividend yield of the stocks in the portfolio.
Investing in securities entails risk. When investing in value securities, the market may not necessarily have the same value assessment as the manager, and, therefore, the performance of the securities may decline. Investments in smaller companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies. Investing in non-US. securities entails additional risks, including political and economic risk and the risk of currency fluctuations; these risks may be enhanced in emerging markets.
