Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The above scenarios are hypothetical, intended solely to illustrate the possible effects of changes in default rates, recovery rates and market spreads on potential returns in the high yield bond market. No scenario can predict all potential changes in rates, investor behaviors or economic conditions, or how such changes might affect returns. Any such changes could significantly alter the potential returns discussed above; past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including market, interest-rate, issuer, credit, and other risks. High-yield, lower-rated securities involve greater risk than higher-rated securities, and portfolios that invest in them may be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than portfolios that do not. The discussion of risks associated with the high yield bond investment strategy is not intended to set forth an exhaustive list of the risk but only those risks believed to be the most significant by Aviva Investors. Benchmark (index) performance does not reflect the deduction of transaction costs, management fees, or other costs which would reduce returns. References to market indexes , benchmarks or other measures of relative performance over a specified period of time are provided for your information only and do not imply that a portfolio will achieve similar returns, volatility or other results. An index is unmanaged and the composition of an index may not reflect the manner in which a portfolio is constructed in relation to expected or actual returns, portfolio guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility or tracking error targets, all of which may change over time. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Source: Barclays Capital, Inc., Barclays Global High Yield Capped Index ; Aviva Investors North America, 3/31/2012 Option adjusted spread is used for spread calculations. Forecasted returns are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results. Potential returns are based on a number of assumptions, may not be realized and are subject to risk. All references to “forecast” and “forecasted” returns in this presentation relate to the period 4/30/2011 – 4/30/2012.

An Opportunity in Global High Yield

THE HIGH YIELD OPPORTUNITY A SUMMARY OF OUR RECOMMENDATION

We continue to recommend a Marketweight allocation

15

An Opportunity in Global High Yield

– Moody’s trailing 12 month global high yield default rate ending April is 2.6%. The 12 month forecast is

for a moderate increase to 2.8%.

– Corporate profitability is expected to grow, although at a slower pace. Corporate balance sheets have

been materially strengthened over the past 2-3 years due mainly to maturity extension.

– High Yield valuations have been impacted by uncertainty over European sovereign and recessionary

risk, as well as a decrease in liquidity due to new regulations.

– Demand is strong with year-to-date high yield fund flows at $23 bn compared to $15.6 bn in 2011.

Bank loan flows have been modest this year with $2 bn inflows compared to $13.9 bn last year.

Fundamentals robust, with companies generating healthy FCFs and maintaining strong balance sheets

(4)

Technicals favorable, due to vigorous demand from retail and institutional investors

Valuations Spreads are compelling though yields are low (2)

CONSISTENT RESULTS WITH STRONG PERFORMANCE COMPETITOR UNIVERSE HIGH YIELD BONDS

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Data set forth above was created by eASE Analytics System for the period ended 3/31/2012. eVestment is a third-party database that provides detailed information on investment managers and their products. eVestment does not independently verify the data provided by advisers, which forms the basis for rankings. Aviva pays a fee to eVestment Alliance for access to peer rankings. The Universe includes all portfolios managed in the High Yield style (gross of fees) as defined by eVestment Alliance, Aviva Investors North America (AINA) returns set out above are gross of fees. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees. The client’s return will be reduced by the advisory fees and other expenses incurred as a client. As fees are deducted quarterly, the compounding effect will be to increase the impact of fees by an amount directly related to the gross account performance. A description of Aviva Investors fees can be found in Part II of the ADV. For example, an account with a beginning value of $100 million, gaining an annual return of 10% per year would grow to $259 million after 10 years, assuming no fees have been paid. If the same account paid a 1% annualized advisory fee, it would grow to only $235 million over 10 years. The annualized returns over the 10 year time period would be 10% (gross of fees) and 8.91% (net of advisory fees). See the GIPS© compliant presentation later in this Appendix for important information about performance, fees, and indices.

U.S. HIGH YIELD UNCONSTRAINED COMPOSITE JUNE 30, 2005 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2011

20


Composite Disclosures Description: The composite includes all strategies and portfolios which invest in U.S. dollar denominated high yield corporate bonds from issuers in developed countries. The strategy typically seeks unsecured fixed-rate obligations in firms with credit ratings of BB+ or lower. In 2009, the composite’s name was revised from High Yield Fixed Income II to U.S. High Yield Unconstrained. Benchmark: Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index is the composite’s benchmark. It covers the universe of fixed rate, non-investment grade debt. Eurobonds and debt issues from countries designated as emerging markets (sovereign rating of Baa1/BBB+/BBB+ and below using the middle of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch) are excluded, but Canadian and global bonds (SEC registered) of issuers in non-EMG countries are included. Original issue zeroes, step-up coupon structures, 144-As and pay-in-kind bonds (PIKs, as of October 1, 2009) are also included. Inception: The creation and inception date of the composite is July 01, 2005. The return for the year ended 12/31/2005 represents the return from the inception date to year end. Currency: All returns and amounts are expressed in U.S. Dollars. Management Fee: The management fee ranges from 40 to 50 basis points based on the assets under management. The minimum fee is $125,000. General Disclosures Firm: Aviva Investors North America (AINA) consists of three legal entities: Aviva Investors North America, Inc., Aviva Investors Canada Inc. (January 01, 2009), and River Road Asset Management, LLC (February 24, 2010), which together form the North American region of Aviva Investors, a global organization including the asset management affiliates of Aviva plc. The Firm manages a variety of fixed income, equity, derivative, convertible bond and alternative investments for institutional clients. GIPS®: AINA claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. AINA has been independently verified for the periods from January 1, 2005 to March 31, 2011. A copy of the verification report is available upon request. 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. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation. Performance: Total Return - Gross of Fees is reduced by transaction costs and the returns are presented before AINA’s management fee. Total Return - Net of Fee is calculated after AINA’s actual management fees. Returns include the reinvestment of all income. Return Variability: AINA measures variability of returns by computing the 3 Year Standard Deviation of the Composite’s Total Return - Gross of Fee and the Composite’s Total Return – Benchmark using the most recent 36 monthly returns. If the composite has been outstanding less than 36 months, this measure is not applicable. Dispersion is calculated on composites with more than 5 accounts using the asset-weighted standard deviation of all portfolios included in the composite for the entire year. Other Information: A listing of AINA’s composites and descriptions are available upon request. Information regarding AINA’s policies & procedures for valuing portfolios, computing & reporting performance returns, and preparing compliant presentations is available upon request. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION (1)

The values of fixed income securities fluctuate in response to the condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in

interest rates. High Yield securities have a greater risk of default than higher rated securities, are generally uncollateralized and subordinated to other

outstanding debt of the issuer, and are considered predominantly speculative. There are additional risks associated with international investments.

International securities may be subject to market/currency fluctuations and other risks involving foreign economic, political, monetary, taxation, auditing

and/or legal factors. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and increase volatility.

Any investment involves a degree of risk, including the risk of total loss. The risk information presented herein endeavors to capture some but not all risks

associated with a strategy or product. Actual performance results may differ from the Composite portfolio performance, depending upon the size of the

account, investment guidelines and/or restrictions, inception date and other factors. Performance information is presented solely for illustrative and

informational purposes and should not be construed as a forecast or projection.

Any statement of return or other performance by an index is not a representation or assurance that the information or performance attributed to the index

was accurately compiled or published; Aviva Investors has not independently verified index-related information. Index returns are provided to represent the

investment environment existing during the time periods shown. For comparison purposes, an index is fully invested, which includes the reinvestment of

dividends and capital gains, but index returns do not include any transaction costs, management fees, or other costs that would reduce

returns. Composition of each separately managed account portfolio in a composite may differ from securities in the corresponding benchmark index. An

index is used as a performance benchmark only, as Aviva Investors does not attempt to replicate an index. The prior performance of an index will not be

predictive of the future performance of accounts managed by Aviva Investors. An investor may not invest directly in an index.

Returns are shown gross of fees. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees. The client’s return will be reduced

by the advisory fees and other expenses incurred as a client. The net compounded effect of the deduction of investment management fees over time will

be affected by the amount of the fees, the time period and your account’s investment performance. For example, an account with a beginning value of

$100 million, gaining an annual return of 10% per year would grow to $259 million after 10 years, assuming no fees have been paid. If the same account

paid a 1% annualized advisory fee, it would grow to only $235 million over 10 years. The annualized returns over the 10 year time period would be 10%

(gross of fees) and 8.91% (net of advisory fees). A description of Aviva Investors’ fees may be found in Part II of the ADV.

Aviva Investors U.S. High Yield Constrained Composite Default Experience vs. Moody's Annual Issuer-Weighted Global Speculative-Grade Default Rate

The definition of default in respect of a debt security includes missed or delayed payments of interest and/or principal, bankruptcy or insolvency of the

issuer and certain distressed issue exchanges. Note that the default rate calculations have limitations as an indicator of manager performance as the

default rate calculations do not account for assets that have not defaulted but have been liquidated from the portfolio at a loss. Past performance is not a

guide to future performance. The since inception default rates are derived by annualizing the geometric average of the individual period rates. Aviva

Investors default rate data is as of 31/12/2011.
