Notes We believe that accelerating growth in revenues and earnings results in significant potential for

stock price appreciation.

We focus on inflection points in companies’ fundamentals because we believe markets are

inefficient at identifying such points.

Our process is designed to uncover stocks that outperform as earnings growth accelerates,

market expectations rise and multiples expand.

Investing With a Time-Tested Growth Philosophy

4

A company’s absolute level of growth

is not as important as . . . . . . its direction of growth.

2008 earnings were ahead of

consensus estimates,

despite a difficult macro

environment for Banks.

We initiated a position in April

2009 after noticing an

inflection in underlying

fundamentals.

- FY 2008 net loans

increased 29% y/y, while

retail and corporate

deposits grew 16% and

41% y/y, respectively.

- After being hit hard by

deteriorating asset quality

during the financial crisis,

earnings began

accelerating as

provisioning marginally

decreased.

Management undergoing a

significant

restructuring/strategic

initiative involving drastic

cost cutting and focus on

profit margins.

The shopping mall industry in

Brazil remains under-

penetrated by global

standards.

The industry has shown highly

defensive growth qualities due

to the relative scarcity of

premium retail space in Brazil.

Underlying same store sales

and rents have consistently

exceeded inflation even during

economic downturns, and

have accelerated since the 2Q

2008.

- BR Mall's lease structures

and high occupancy rates

have continued to give

them high pricing power.

The Brazilian shopping mall

industry is expected to

consolidate further.

- BR Mall's size, expertise,

strong balance sheet and

relative scale will give it a

significant advantage.

Notes Many of the world’s most successful and dynamic companies are domiciled in Emerging

Markets

Emerging Market countries are, in many respects, more economically healthy than their

Developed counterparts

ACI’s investment approach is ideally suited to finding sustainable, improving situations in

Emerging Markets

Over the past three years, ACI has built a world-class dedicated Emerging Markets investment

team

examined for the periods January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2010. The verification and performance examination

reports are available upon request.

Emerging Markets Equity composite includes portfolios that invest in the equity of large, medium and small

capitalization non-U.S. companies in emerging markets that are demonstrating improving growth rates.

Performance results are expressed and calculated in U.S. dollars. The return may increase or decrease as a result

of currency fluctuations.

Consultants and investors supplied with these performance results are advised to use this data in accordance with

guidelines issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Past performance may not be

indicative of future returns. The value of any investment may rise or fall over time. Principal is not guaranteed and

investors may receive less than the full amount of principal invested at the time of redemption if asset values have

declined.

The performance results for this composite are net of foreign income tax withholding and include the effect of

foreign currency where applicable. The foreign income tax withholding rate varies by country and is recorded at the

tax rate specified by the country’s treaty. The composite is not a sub sector of a larger portfolio.

The performance results for the MSCI Emerging Markets Growth Index are net of foreign income tax withholding.

The assumed tax rate varies from 0% to 35%, using the perspective of a Luxembourg holding company. Effective

April 1, 2009, the benchmark for this composite was changed from the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index to the

MSCI Emerging Markets Growth Index, as it was determined to be more indicative of the composite’s investment

style. The MSCI Emerging Markets Growth Index represents the performance of growth stocks in global emerging

market countries. Benchmark return information is provided for comparative and referential purposes only.

Benchmark information is provided by third party sources, and is considered to be accurate.

The Composite’s dispersion of annual returns is measured by the asset-weighted standard deviation of individual

portfolio annual returns. Only portfolios that have been managed within the Composite for the full year are

included in the asset-weighted standard deviation calculation. Dispersion is not calculated for composites that

have five or fewer portfolios for the full calendar year.

The Firm utilizes a time-weighted total rate of return methodology to calculate performance. All portfolios are

valued daily based on principal market values plus accrued income. The market value of an account is the sum of

a portfolio’s total assets, including accrued interest and dividends, cash and cash equivalents, short-term

instruments, and securities valued at current market prices. Security transactions are recognized based on trade-

date accounting. Interest is recorded on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Portfolio returns are calculated monthly. For the Firm’s mutual fund accounts, portfolio returns are calculated

monthly using an account’s beginning and ending month-end unitized value and distributions of income and

capital gains, if applicable. For the Firm’s non-mutual fund accounts, portfolio returns are calculated daily using

the change in an account’s market value after taking into account cash flows on the account. All cash flows are

assumed to have been invested at the start of the day they are processed. Daily returns are geometrically linked

to determine the monthly return. Gross-of-fee returns include all trading costs and are calculated before

management fees, administrative fees, custody fees and distribution and service fees, as applicable. Net-of-fee

returns are calculated after all trading costs, actual management fees, custody fees, distribution and services

fees, as applicable. Management fees are based on the pro-rated annual management fee schedule net of

reimbursements. The composite returns are calculated monthly by weighting each account’s monthly return by its

beginning market value as a percent of the composite’s total beginning market value. Quarterly and annual

composite returns are calculated by geometrically linking the monthly composite returns. Policies for valuing

portfolios, calculating performance and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.

The Firm established a $5 million minimum portfolio size for inclusion in the composite.

New portfolios are generally included in the composite rate of return calculations at the beginning of the month

immediately following the date they were funded. If a portfolio’s funding occurs after the 21st day of a month, the

portfolio is included in performance reporting as of the first day of the second full month after opening. Portfolios

that change investment strategies are transferred between composites in the first full monthly reporting period the

portfolios are managed under the new style. Terminated portfolios are included in the Composite rate of return

calculations through the completion of their last full month under management.

There has been no material change in personnel responsible for investment management. Leverage is not

utilized in this composite. Futures (and currency forwards and futures, where applicable or appropriate) are

occasionally used to manage portfolio risk. Other derivative instruments may be used, as allowed, as part of the

investment strategy.

The creation date for this composite is June 2000.
