NOTES
- Values have been rounded to the nearest tenth.
- Source for all data Factset.
- Past performance is not indicative of future results. There is no guarantee a specific investment strategy will be successful.
- Portfolio attributes, characteristics, sector weightings and holdings exclude cash and may change at any time without notice.
- eVestment Alliance (eA) is a manager-reported database on hundreds of investment managers and thousands of investment products covering a full range of asset classes, investment styles and geographic concentrations. Based on manager input, eA independently constructs universes using qualitative and quantitative factors. The investment products are organized into peer groups and assessed on an ongoing basis to ensure the consistency of a product's attributes within a designated style classification. In addition, eA utilizes style analysis tools, performance analytics, and the review of a product's investment strategy narrative in the construction of wide-ranging universes that are both pure in style and consistent over time.
- The eVestment Number of Portfolios represents the number of investment products included in the calculation of the median return for the given eVestment universe for the given time period. Individual investment managers may have more than one investment product included in the universe, so the number of observations will likely be greater than the actual number of investment managers represented.
- eVestment Alliance data capture date: 1/23/12.
- Russell 2000® Growth Index is composed of the securities found in the Russell 2000 Index with a greater-than-average growth orientation. Companies inthis index tend to exhibit higher price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios.
