There can be no assurance that investment objectives will be achieved. Clients must be prepared to bear risk of a total loss of their investment.

As fees are deducted quarterly, the compounding effect will be to increase the impact of the fee by an amount directly related to the gross account performance. For example, on an account with a 0.5% fee, and gross performance of 20% over one year, the compounding effect of the fee will result in performance of approximately 19.4%. A $10,000 initial investment would grow to approximately $14,256 gross of fees, versus $14,000 net of fees, over a two-year period.

International Equity Composite includes all discretionary accounts, excluding wrap accounts and private client assets, that invest at least 80% of their assets in equity securities of issuers located outside of the United States, or which derive a significant portion of their business or profits outside of the United States in three or more foreign countries. Such accounts hold equity or equity linked securities of issuers listed on a foreign securities exchange or that are quoted on an established foreign over-the-counter market, or have issued American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). Results of the composite are shown compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International- Europe, Australasian and the Far East Index (the MSCI EAFE Index) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International- All Country World ex USA Index (the MSCI ACWI ex USA), an unmanaged index based on share prices of a select group of global developed and emerging market stocks that are available to global investors. The benchmarks are used for comparative purposes only and generally reflect the risk or investment style of the investments in the composite. The MSCI EAFE index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index of approximately 910 stocks and is designed to measure equity market performance in 21 developed market countries outside of North America. The MSCI ACWI ex USA index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index of approximately 1840 stocks and is designed to measure equity market performance in 45 developed and emerging market countries excluding the United States. The indices are calculated on a total return basis with net dividends reinvested. The indices reflect withholding taxes, but not fees and other investment expenses, and are expressed in U.S. Dollars. Investments made by VAMUS 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 ACWI ex USA and the MSCI EAFE Index. The minimum account size for this composite is $1 million.

VAMUS claims compliance with Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS).

Leverage and short positions are not used in the composition of client portfolios. Derivatives in the form of forward foreign currency contracts were used in managing client portfolios for opportunistic currency hedging until October 2011.
