NOTES ON MIDDLE EAST COMPOSITE

(Figures are based on most recent estimates)

1. The Middle East composite is a specialized strategy that focuses on equity and equity related securities of companies traded in Middle East securities markets. This composite was created on January 1, 2005.
2. The composite is presented net of withholding taxes for applicable countries. The S&P custom Index is only reported net of withholding taxes.
3. Composite results for the full historical period are time-weighted and include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Results for the single investment fund included in the composite were calculated monthly and linked geometrically. Management fees are accrued monthly and included in the fund's net asset value calculation. Gross of fees returns for investment funds are obtained by adding back the fee for each month. The composite is asset-weighted by beginning of month asset values. The composite returns are net of brokerage and other administration fees.
4. The benchmark for this composite is a custom index created by S&P.
5. As of the date of this report, approximately 2.7% of the composite was invested in countries outside of the benchmark.
6. N/A - Information is not statistically meaningful due to an insufficient number of portfolios in the composite for the entire year.
7. Total Return information referenced above (both “gross” and “net” of investment management fees) are calculated after deducting applicable administrative and operating expenses, such as custodian fees and/or trading expenses.
