WHV Investment Management

Compliance StatementWHV Investment Management (WHV) claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. WHV has been independently verified for the periods from October 1, 1994 through December 31, 2011.

Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The International Equity composite has been examined for the periods from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 2011. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.

PolicesWHV’s policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.

Composite DescriptionThe composite was created on October 31, 2004. The composite includes all non-wrap accounts, excluding mutual funds, invested in the firm’s International Equity strategy, a portfolio of international equity growth stocks that is expected to generate long-term capital appreciation. A list of composite descriptions is available upon request.

Since August 2008, WHV has used the services of its affiliated sub-advisor Hirayama Investments, LLC in the management of this strategy.

Minimum Account SizeCurrently there is no minimum asset level for inclusion in the composite. Prior to January 1, 2012, the minimum asset level for inclusion was $100,000. Prior to January 1, 2010, the minimum asset level for inclusion was $50,000.

BenchmarkThe benchmark for the International Equity composite is the MSCI-EAFE (Net) Index, which measures the equity performance of developed markets in Europe, Australia and the Far East. Previously, the benchmark presented was the MSCI-EAFE (Gross) Index. In June 2011, the benchmark was changed for all periods since the composite’s inception to better reflect how composite returns are calculated. The returns of the benchmark are provided to represent the investment environment that existed during the time period shown and are not covered by the report of the independent verifiers. For comparison purposes, the index includes the reinvestment of income and other earnings but does not include any trading expenses, management fees or other costs. The volatility of the composite and that of the benchmark may be materially different due to varying degrees of diversification and/or other factors.

A large percentage of the equity assets in the composite is invested in countries or regions not included in the benchmark.

DispersionComposite dispersion is measured by the standard deviation across returns of portfolios represented within the composite for the full period. Standard deviation is calculated on asset-weighted portfolio returns. Composite dispersion is not presented for quarterly periods or for years where the composite consisted of five or fewer accounts as it is not considered statistically meaningful. Ex-post standard deviation is the annualized standard deviation of monthly returns for the trailing 36 months of both the composite and benchmark.

Returns and FeesReturns reflect the deduction of all trading expenses and the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Gross returns do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees or any other expenses that may be incurred in the management of the account. Net returns are net of model investment advisory fees in effect for the respective time period. Actual fees may vary depending on, among other things, the applicable fee schedule and portfolio size. Further, the impact of management fees over time may be different from the actual management fees used in the calculation during periods of significant volatility. WHV’s investment advisory fees are described in Form ADV Part II. Valuations and returns are computed and stated in U.S. dollars. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

The Management Fee Schedule is as follows:Incremental Annual Fee Rate as a Percentage of Market Value

First $10 million @ 1.00% | Next $15 million @ 0.80% | Next $25 million @ 0.75% | Next $50 million @ 0.60% | All over $100 million @ 0.50%

Compliance StatementWHV Investment Management (WHV) claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. WHV has been independently verified for the periods from October 1, 1994 through December 31, 2011.

Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The Micro Cap Equity composite has been examined for the periods from December 1, 2008 through December 31, 2011. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.

PolicesWHV’s policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.

Composite DescriptionThe composite was created on November 30, 2008. The composite includes all non-wrap accounts invested in the firm’s Micro Cap Equity strategy, a portfolio of equity securities with market capitalization between $10 million and $500 million upon purchase that seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation. A list of composite descriptions is available upon request.

Minimum Account SizeCurrently, there is no minimum asset level for inclusion in the composite. Prior to January 1, 2012, the minimum asset level for inclusion was $100,000. Prior to January 1, 2010, the minimum asset level for was $50,000.

BenchmarkThe benchmark for the Micro Cap Equity composite is the Dow Jones U.S. Micro-Cap Total Stock Market Index� which is comprised of stocks with market capitalization rankings ranked below 2,501 and below within the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index�. The returns of the benchmark are provided to represent the investment environment that existed during the time period shown and are not covered by the report of the independent verifiers. For comparison purposes, the index includes the reinvestment of income and other earnings but does not include any trading expenses, management fees or other costs. The volatility of the composite and that of the benchmark may be materially different due to varying degrees of diversification and/or other factors.

DispersionComposite dispersion is measured by the standard deviation across returns of portfolios represented within the composite for the full period. Standard deviation is calculated on asset-weighted portfolio returns. Composite dispersion is not presented for quarterly periods or for years where the composite consisted of five or fewer accounts as it is not considered statistically meaningful. Ex-post standard deviation is the annualized standard deviation of monthly returns for the trailing 36 months of both the composite and benchmark.

Returns and FeesReturns reflect the deduction of all trading expenses and the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Gross returns do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees or any other expenses that may be incurred in the management of the account. Net returns are net of model investment advisory fees in effect for the respective time period. Actual fees may vary depending on, among other things, the applicable fee schedule and portfolio size. Further, the impact of management fees over time may be different from the actual management fees used in the calculation during periods of significant volatility. WHV’s investment advisory fees are described in Form ADV Part II. Valuations and returns are computed and stated in U.S. dollars. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

The Management Fee Schedule is as follows:1.00% Annual Fee Rate as a Percentage of Market Value + Performance Fee
