PERFORMANCE DISCLOSUREThe indices in this report first calculated on the dates indicated at the market close. All information presented prior to these dates are back-tested. Back-tested performance is notactual performance, but is hypothetical. The back-test calculations are based on the same methodology that was in effect when the index was officially launched. Complete indexmethodology details are available at www.spindices.com.

Past performance of the indices are not an indication of future results. Prospective application of the methodology used to construct the indices may not result in performancecommensurate with the back-test returns shown. The back-test periods do not necessarily correspond to the entire available history of the indices. Please refer to the methodologypapers for the indices, available at www.spdji.com or www.spindices.com for more details about the indices, including the manners in which they are rebalanced, the timing ofsuch rebalancing, criteria for additions and deletions, as well as all index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index.

Another limitation of back-tested hypothetical information is that generally the back-tested calculation is prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Back-tested data reflect theapplication of the index methodology and selection of index constituents in hindsight. No hypothetical record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading.For example, there are numerous factors related to the equities (or fixed income, or commodities) markets in general which cannot be, and have not been accounted for in thepreparation of the index information set forth, all of which can affect actual performance.

The Index returns shown do not represent the results of actual trading of investible assets/securities. S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC maintains the indices and calculates the indexlevels and performance shown or discussed, but does not manage actual assets. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchasethe securities underlying the indices investment funds that are intended to track the performance of the indices. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause actual andback-tested performance of the securities/fund to be lower than the index performances shown. As a simple example, if an index returned 10% on a US $100,000 investment for a12-month period (or US$ 10,000) and an actual asset-based fee of 1.5% was imposed at the end of the period on the investment plus accrued interest (or US$ 1,650), the netreturn would be 8.35% (or US$ 8,350) for the year. Over 3 years, an annual 1.5% fee taken at year end with an assumed 10% return per year would result in a cumulative grossreturn of 33.10%, a total fee of US$ 5,375, and a cumulative net return of 27.2% (or US$ 27,200).
