3. The composite returns are benchmarked to the MSCI THE WORLD INDEX SMALL CAP - total return index. The benchmark is used for comparative purposes only and generally reflects the risk or investment style of the product. Investments made by the Firm for the portfolios it manages according to respective strategies may differ significantly in terms of security holdings, industry weightings, and asset allocation from those of the benchmark. Accordingly, investment results and volatility will differ from those of the benchmark.

From 31-Dec-1996 to 31-Dec-2000 the benchmark was MSCI THE WORLD INDEX SMALL CAP - price index. This changed to the MSCI THE WORLD INDEX SMALL CAP - total return index , as it is a more representative benchmark.
