QUARTERLY CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL Glad It’s Over? – 2011 challenged U.S. equity investors as the S&P 500 Index returned 2% and the Russell 2000 Index fell 4%. The average international equity fund dropped

14% as Eurozone debt issues took center stage. Treasuries and corporate bonds rallied as investors sought safety and yield.

A Wild Ride – The S&P 500 Index closed up or down 2% on 35 days in 2011, up from 22 days in 2010. In contrast, the Index didn’t post a single move of more than 2% in 2005 and just two in 2006.

New Research – Bond issuance denominated in local currency within emerging economies has expanded rapidly over the past decade. Please visit the Research section of our website for our most recent White Paper, Emerging Market Bonds, An Asset Class Primer.

For Your Reading Pleasure – We are proud to announce our fourth book, Nonprofit Asset Management: Effective Investment Strategies and Oversight. It will be available

on-line and in bookstores beginning February 1st, 2012. Profits from book sales will be donated to charity. PLAN SPONSORS Boost Retirement Readiness – Nearly twice as many 401(k) participants reached an overall contribution rate greater than 11% when the automatic default rate was increased

from 3% to 6%, according to a recent Principal study. Match Maker – Half of companies that suspended their matching contribution since early 2008 have fully restored it. Nearly 14% of 401(k) and profit sharing plans still

have suspended or reduced matching contributions, according to a recent PSCA survey. Risk Management – 80% of corporate pension plan sponsors with assets less than $5 billion employ a Liability Driven Investing (LDI) de-risking strategy, according to a recent

aiCIO survey. Only 15% have no plans to implement LDI.

NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS Size Matters – In FY 2011, large endowments (over $1 billion) invested 58%, on average, in alternatives. On the other hand, the smallest endowments (less than $25 million)

invested just 9% in alternatives, according to a recent NACUBO survey. Join Us – Please join us on March 21st, 2012 for an informative Workshop, Alternative Investments for Nonprofits. Whether your endowment is large or small, we will present

five facts every investment committee must know regarding alternative investments. Look for your formal invite soon.

THE WEALTH OFFICE™ Tax Man Cometh – The IRS recently reported it audited 12.5% of wealthy taxpayers in fiscal 2011 (assets in excess of $1 million). This figure is up from 8% in 2010, and 6%

in 2009.

Change of Plans – 2012 is setting up to be a very confusing year from a tax and estate planning perspective. With many changes scheduled to take place at the end of the year and with a pending presidential election sure to further cloud the landscape, The Wealth OfficeTM can help keep you abreast of the latest implications with respect to your personal investment strategy.

Crystal Ball Default – Meredith Whitney’s year-end 2010 famous prediction of ‘hundreds of billions of dollars’ of municipal bond defaults in 2011 has turned out to be wildly inaccurate. Instead, total muni defaults for 2011 are estimated to be about $1 billion, or 25% of the $4.3 billion that defaulted in 2010. Ms. Whitney broke an important rule of forecasting – give a precise prediction and vague timeframe or give a vague prediction and precise timeframe, but never give a precise prediction and a precise timeframe. The Wealth OfficeTM points out municipal bonds were one of the best performing asset classes of 2011.

QUARTERLY CONSIDERATIONS

ECONOMY The Federal Reserve continues to keep interest rates on hold at the 0% to 0.25% range, and confirmed their intention to maintain low rates into 2013. In a coordinated action, the

Fed partnered with other major central banks during the quarter to ease tensions in the credit markets as European financial institutions were facing difficulty securing U.S. dollar-based funding. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for January 24th-25th, 2012.

U.S. GDP advanced 1.8% in the prior quarter. The advance reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures, nonresidential fixed investment, federal government spending and exports that were partly offset by negative contributions from state and local government spending and private inventory investment. Most analysts expect positive growth to continue in the first half of 2012. The fourth quarter GDP advance estimate is due out on January 27th, 2012.

The unemployment rate, which has been above 9% for most of the year, trended down each month of the quarter to end December at 8.5%. However, it will take 6 million more jobs to get the U.S. back to employment levels in December 2007, when the recession began. With millions of Americans still out of work, President Obama appears bound to face voters with the highest unemployment rate of any president running for re-election since World War II. Unemployment stood at 7.8% when President Obama took office.

Home prices continued to drift lower, although the pace of sales has started to slowly pick up. Despite the lowest mortgage rates in history, Americans have been reluctant to purchase a home as high unemployment and weak job growth have deterred many would-be buyers. Meanwhile, prices could potentially fall further once banks resume millions of foreclosures, which have been delayed because of a yearlong investigation into lending practices. Foreclosures and short sales are selling at an average discount of 20%.

On the political front, events in Washington will be closely watched. As the U.S. enters an election year, a growing fiscal deficit and expiring tax cuts are expected to fuel significant debate. Coloring these discussions will be several unpredictable factors: The state of the economy and who wins control of the House, the Senate and the White House.

Broad Equity Market Index Returns Ending 12/31/11

QTR

1 Year

U.S. EQUITY MARKETS U.S. equity markets moved higher during the final quarter of the year even as macroeconomic concerns, primarily surrounding Europe’s sovereign debt, continued to dominate the

minds of investors. Market volatility was heightened and correlations among stocks remained at historically high levels. Peaking stock correlations, which began in 2008, continued to spike throughout much of 2011 amid a flurry of macro/headline news.

The S&P 500 Index ended the quarter up 12% at 1,258. The S&P 500 finished the year with a gain of 2%, registering record price swings and correlations along the way. The Index tumbled as much as 19% from April to its low for the year of 1,099 on October 3rd as Congress and President Obama struggled over U.S. deficit cuts and concern grew that the Eurozone debt crisis was threatening the global economic recovery.

The NASDAQ Composite ended up 8% at 2,605 for the fourth quarter – but still managed to post its first annual loss in three years. The DJIA finished the quarter up 13% at 12,218. Investors’ preference for high-quality, dividend-paying stocks for much of 2011 led to the DJIA’s 8% annual gain.

Analysts have reined in their consensus estimates slightly for the quarter, mainly due to concerns about the impact of slower Eurozone growth on domestic corporate performance, though the negative revisions have slowed. As 2012 gets underway, many corporate executives have raised expectations for profit growth, but they are less than firm on commitments to invest in their business or pursue merger and acquisition activities.

Across market capitalizations, small- and mid-cap issues generally outperformed larger companies. Meanwhile, value stocks outperformed their growth counterparts. The financial characteristics of stocks that fared best were more economically sensitive. Defensively-oriented sectors lagged.

QUARTERLY CONSIDERATIONS

U.S. EQUITY SECTORS The materials sector soared on significant strength from chemicals and metals & mining stocks. Industrial-related stocks also rallied led by construction and transportation

stocks. Airlines underperformed as American Airlines and its parent AMR Corp. filed for bankruptcy amid rising labor costs, high fuel prices and dampened travel demand. Once the largest carrier, American is now third behind United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, both of which used Chapter 11 to cut costs and later found merger partners.

The financial services sector posted double-digit gains on strong performances from REITs and regional banks. However, larger institutions continued to be weighed down by investor worries about banks’ potential exposure to European sovereign debt. In corporate news, MF Global filed one of the nation’s largest bankruptcy cases after suffering big losses on European debt holdings, making it the first U.S. casualty of the Eurozone debt crisis. Meanwhile, millions of dollars of customer funds have reportedly gone missing.

The energy-related sector moved sharply higher during the quarter amid heightened tensions between Iran and the West. Iran is threatening to disrupt shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, which is among the world’s key shipping routes for oil tankers. The price of crude, which surged more than 20%, was also bolstered by positive U.S. economic data and declining inventories.

Results in the consumer discretionary sector were mixed. Amazon.com sold off sharply following a disappointing earnings report and forecast, which was caused by significant spending as the online retailer continues to invest heavily into its growing cloud business, as well as launching new electronics products such as its Kindle Fire tablet. Meanwhile, several luxury goods makers posted strong gains as consumers stepped up their purchases of high-end items, especially in Asia.

The traditionally defensive areas such as the utilities and telecommunications services sectors were among the weakest performers as investors gravitated towards riskier assets and away from safety and yield. In the telecom space, AT&T’s proposed purchase of Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile USA collapsed in the face of opposition from the U.S. Justice Department.

Market Returns by Major Sectors of S&P 500 Index, Fourth Quarter 2011QTR 1 Year

REAL ESTATE Domestic REITs were one of the strongest performing asset classes for the fourth quarter and 2011.The NAREIT Equity REIT Index gained 15% during the quarter and 8%

for 2011. Strength was due to continued improvement in fundamentals, access to capital and attractive yields. Continuing to benefit from the housing market struggles, self storage outperformed during the quarter. Apartment REITs also advanced due to renewed pricing power and lower vacancy rates. Lodging/resorts was the worst performing sub-sector in 2011 due to its higher sensitivity to broader economic concerns. However, the sector bounced back during the fourth quarter amid rebounding occupancy rates.

During the fourth quarter, International REITs exhibited mixed results with Europe being the only declining region. Sovereign concerns caused Italy and Spain to significantly lag, but combined the countries represent less than 1% of the universe. Asia stabilized and was modestly positive after weakness throughout much of the year. Australia and China had strong quarterly returns that corresponded with monetary easing.

U.S. EQUITY MARKETS (continued) The HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index increased 1%, while the HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index declined marginally in the fourth quarter. Both indices fell

approximately 5% for the year. Tactical Trading managers were whipsawed by the markets and lagged during the fourth quarter. Event Driven and Equity Hedge led quarterly results thanks to strong performances in October. Eurekahedge noted that total asset flows for the year were $67 billion, taking the industry to over $1.7 trillion.

The Alerian MLP Index experienced a volatile year but ended up producing strong results while outperforming most asset classes. For the quarter MLPs advanced 16%, bringing the one-year results to a gain of 14%. The Index finished the year at an all-time high, following the second largest fourth quarter gain since the Index was created. Large cap and General Partner MLPs outperformed. Natural Gas Storage and thinly traded MLPs lagged.

QUARTERLY CONSIDERATIONS

COMMODITIES The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index ended up 0.3% after December’s weakness cut into strong results during October. Precious metals were the top performers for the year,

but strength in the U.S. dollar and liquidity needs amongst investors led to quarterly declines. Following weakness in the previous quarter, the energy sector outperformed thanks to double digit returns in October. Weakness in coffee and orange juice caused soft commodities to be the worst performer during the quarter. For the year, industrial metals was the worst performer, falling 24% on macroeconomic concerns.

FIXED INCOME MARKETS The yield curve ended the quarter relatively unchanged as rates continued to be supported by the Fed’s accommodative policy and implementation of “Operation Twist”.

The 2-year remained at 0.25% and the 30-year fell 1 basis point to 2.89%. The 5-year was the exception and outperformed the overall curve by declining 13 basis points to 0.83%. Overall, Treasuries returned 0.9% for the quarter. TIPS gained 2.7% during the quarter as real yields declined, increasing the 10-year breakeven to 2.0% from 1.7%.

Investment grade corporates outperformed duration matched Treasuries, returning 1.7%, as credit spreads tightened over the quarter. Overall, fundamentals remained strong as corporate profits and cash levels remained at historically high levels. Among investment grades, financial-backed issuers underperformed utility-backed and industrial-related corporates due to their disproportionate exposures to sovereign Europe debt. High yield issues also outperformed Treasuries, returning 6.4%, with lower quality, CCC-rated issues performing the best.

Mortgage-backed securities moved higher despite concerns that government programs aimed at stimulating the housing market will lead to increased refinancing activity and expectations for faster prepayments going forward. Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) were the best performing structured product, outperforming Treasuries by 2.2%, as spreads rallied late in the quarter. CMBS also saw an improvement in the new issuance market and stable delinquency rates. Asset-backed securities (ABS) produced positive returns, but trailed Treasuries, as the sector saw spreads widen. Within ABS, credit cards were the largest detractor followed by auto.

Municipal bonds posted solid results. December opened with significant amounts of muni supply coming to market, more new assets flowing into muni bond mutual funds, and reinvestment cash waiting to be deployed. This caused muni yields to grind lower, hitting new all-time lows at multiple points on the yield curve. Over the quarter, retail investors slowed muni investment due to “rate shock” given low absolute yields. However, crossover buyers and banks have been a strong source of demand taking advantage of the high muni to Treasury ratios. 2011 closed the year with a low default rate and many of the weaker states outperformed as investors saw many states pass balanced budgets.

QUARTERLY CONSIDERATIONS

FIXED INCOME MARKETS (continued) The European debt crisis remained at center stage as politicians continued to work on a credible solution. Overall, foreign bonds provided mixed results as investors recovered

from the third quarter. The dollar appreciated against most developed currencies and resulted in hedged portfolios, returning 0.6%, outperforming their unhedged counterparts, which returned -0.5%. Within Europe, Germany continued to benefit from their perceived “safe haven” status and returned 1.9% as yields declined. Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain produced negative returns ranging from -1.0% and -4.0 %, while Greece was the largest detractor with a return of -37.4%. Emerging market debt (EMD) generated positive returns as investors continue to be drawn to the relatively high yield. Overall, EMD held up well in the volatile macro environment although concerns still loom surrounding the details of China’s slowdown. Similar to developed currencies, most emerging market currencies fell against the dollar causing hedged portfolios to outperform.

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED MARKETS International developed markets rose during the quarter, with the MSCI EAFE Index advancing 3%. Sectors such as healthcare, consumer staples and energy were among the

top performers, while financials, utilities and information technology underperformed. International growth stocks outperformed international value stocks with the MSCI EAFE Growth Index ending up 4% and the MSCI EAFE Value Index rising 3%. Across market

capitalizations, international large caps fared better than international small caps, with the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index declining nearly 1%. The U.S. dollar appreciated sharply against the Euro, but declined against several commodity-related currencies such as the Canadian and Australian dollars. As the

debt crisis in Europe remains unresolved with no comprehensive solution forthcoming, the Euro has seen further weakness against the U.S. dollar and most major currencies. Lingering concerns about the possibility of further QE in the U.S. helped lift the Japanese yen to record highs against the U.S. dollar, before forcing government intervention. The safe-haven Swiss franc moved sharply lower against most currencies amid increased expectations that deflationary pressures would spur the central bank to intervene again.

Currency Returns versus U.S. Dollar, Fourth Quarter 2011QTR 1 YEAR

For the quarter, the MSCI Canada Index ended up 5% as the central bank left rates on hold at 1% amid the deepening sovereign debt crisis in Europe. The central bank has left rates unchanged since September 2010. In the summer of 2010, Canada became the first G-7 nation to raise rates since the financial crisis began. The Canadian dollar strengthened against the U.S. dollar as reports on U.S. employment and manufacturing indicated Canada’s biggest trading partner’s economy is recovering. An improving trend in U.S. data is positive for the Canadian dollar because it means better demand for the country’s exports.

The MSCI Europe Index gained 6%.The ECB cut rates to a record low of 1% and announced several steps to bolster the financial system amid the ongoing debt crisis. Spain ended down 2% as yields on the country’s debt touched record highs. Italy rose 1% as the debt crisis forced PM Silvio Berlusconi’s resignation. He was succeeded by Mario Monti, who quickly formed a new government to address the debt problems of the world’s eighth-largest economy. France advanced 3% despite ongoing concerns the country will lose its AAA rating. On the political front, President Nicolas Sarkozy will seek reelection as voters head to the polls in the April 2012 presidential election.

QUARTERLY CONSIDERATIONS

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED MARKETS (continued) The MSCI United Kingdom Index rose 9% as the Bank of England kept rates on hold at 0.5%, where it has remained since March 2009. In October, the central bank voted to

expand its bond-buying program for the first time in almost two years as government budget cuts, combined with Europe’s debt crisis, pose an increasing threat to Britain’s economic recovery. GDP rose a tepid 0.5% due to stagnant household expenditures as consumers hit hard by rising prices and anemic wage growth tightened their belts.

The MSCI Japan Index lost 4% as the Bank of Japan downgraded its assessment of the Japanese economy as sliding exports and expensive energy imports led to the largest

trade deficit on record. Imports increased largely due to the higher demand for fossil fuels as much of the nation’s nuclear power plants have been idling since the tsunami and earthquake on March 11th. Exports declined due to slowing overseas economies and the strong currency. The Japanese yen, which had risen to a post-World War II high against the U.S. dollar during the quarter, moved lower after government officials intervened in currency markets for the third time this year.

The MSCI Pacific ex-Japan Index gained 6%. Hong Kong advanced 6% as the economy remains relatively strong, with a low unemployment rate, robust retail sales and

strong GDP growth. Australia rose 8% as the Reserve Bank of Australia cut interest rates to 4.25% in two 25 basis point moves amid worries about slowing Asian growth and turbulence in Europe. Singapore declined 1% as reduced demand and supply chain disruptions hurt manufacturing, one of the key drivers of growth of Singapore's economy.

INTERNATIONAL EMERGING MARKETS The MSCI EM Index advanced 4% during the fourth quarter. Consumer staples, information technology and utilities were among the top performing sectors, while healthcare,

industrials and materials underperformed. The MSCI EM Latin America Index rose 9%. Brazil advanced 9% as the central bank cut rates by a total of 100 basis points to 11%. Brazilian policymakers have been walking

a fine line since August, when the central bank surprised markets by lowering rates despite high inflation. Brazil’s inflation rate is hovering slightly above the 6.5% upper limit. Mexico gained 9% as GDP grew a better-than-expected 4.5%. On the political front, Mexico’s upcoming July 2012 presidential elections will be closely watched. Of particular importance in the U.S., is how the trade and security policies of President Felipe Calderon’s successor will affect illegal immigration and the robust trade relationship with Mexico.

The MSCI EM Asia Index gained 3%. India plunged 14% as GDP grew 6.9% in the most recent quarter, the lowest level of growth since the second quarter of 2009.

Government officials stated inflation and exposure to Europe's economic woes are leading causes for India’s lower expansion rate. South Korea rose 6% amid a strong showing from IT giant Samsung Electronics after the company overtook Apple as the world’s largest smartphone vendor. China advanced 8% as the People’s Bank of China lowered the reserve ratio requirement by 50 basis points. It was the first cut in the ratio since 2008, and a change in course after the ratio was raised steadily throughout much of 2011.

The EMEA (Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa) Index advanced 3%. Within Eastern Europe, Russia rose 6% despite heightened political tensions. Widespread protests

erupted ahead of the March 2012 presidential elections in opposition to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's likely return to the presidency. The former two-term president (2000-2008) became prime minister in 2008 under his protégé President Medvedev because the Russian constitution does not allow three consecutive terms. In the Middle East, Turkey fell 16% amid high inflation and uncertainty regarding future monetary policy. South Africa gained 7% on higher commodity prices.

Emerging Market Bonds

Emerging Market Bonds are a growing sub-sector of the foreign debt market. Though currently accounting for less than 5 percent of the world’s bond issuance, emerging market countries are growing faster than the developed world. Their capital markets are also increasing in size. While Emerging Market Bonds may have greater political risks, the countries’ lower debt levels, lower trade deficits (often surpluses), higher savings rates, and younger population arguably put them in better fiscal positions than many of their developed market counterparts, especially following the 2008 financial crisis. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the tradable market for emerging market fixed income was largely external and denominated in USD. Bonds denominated in local currency began to take hold in the late 1990s. Rapid expansion over the last decade has brought the market’s size from $600 billion in the mid 2000s to approximately $2.1 trillion at the end of 2010.i As governments and businesses of Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia (ex-Japan) borrow money to finance fiscal deficits, infrastructure projects and business growth, they issue bonds. These bonds encompass three categories—external, local currency and corporate debt. External debt is issued in currencies such as the USD or euro; the yield of these bonds includes a risk premium based on the issuing government’s creditworthiness. The largest risk to external emerging market debt is a default or stress caused by currency fluctuations. For example, if the USD appreciates against the Brazilian reál, Brazil’s USD-denominated interest expense rises imposing a greater financial burden on the Brazilian government. In contrast, local currency debt is issued in the country’s home currency. This adds currency and interest rate risk for U.S. based investors, but also indicates a more responsible and stable local government policy. Since the late 1990s, emerging market countries have continued to stabilize and mature. This new regime has seen most emerging market countries reduce the risk of a currency crisis by transitioning to more flexible or even floating exchange rate approaches, which are less prone to sudden devaluations. The charts below show relative Debt-to-GDP, Inflation (CPI) and Foreign Exchange Reserves for relevant emerging market countries. While relative debt for emerging market countries is clearly less of an issue compared to their developed counterparts, inflation and foreign exchange reserves management has also markedly improved. Debt % of GDP (Local Public)ii CPI (% YOY)iii Foreign Exchange Reserves (U.S. $B)iv

Volatility in local economies as well as political instability are significant risks to the asset class. However, the risks are accompanied by higher yields, and the asset class has proven to be quite resilient during stress periods experienced by other asset classes. While approximately 70% of local currency emerging market debt is held by local participants, this composition is slowly migrating abroad as the asset class matures and continues to generate interest from various foreign institutional investors.

As of 12/31/2011, the JPMorgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index had a YTM of 6.57%, duration of 4.44, and remaining life of 6.52 years.

The Emerging Market Bond asset class has over 40 countries in its universe; however, not all are easily investable or issue debt in local currency terms. The JPMorgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index is comprised of 14 countries whose weights are capped at 10% to avoid bias to more debt-laden countries. The exhibits below illustrate the impact of this constraint relative to the float-weighted “Global” version of the JPMorgan GBI-EM Index (left side).

Emerging Market Bonds in the Frontier Engineer™ Framework Emerging Market Bonds returned an annualized 11.1% from 1994 - 2011, second best of all asset classes (MLPs). Over the same

time, they exhibited a standard deviation of 14.1%. Since 1997, which includes the extreme emerging markets volatility in 1998, skewness and excess kurtosis for Emerging Market Bonds

was -2.33 and 13.67, respectively. When adjusting the short-term return stream to a longer comparable return stream (i.e., relative to High Yield Bonds 1984 - 1994 and

U.S. Bonds 1979 - 1984), standard deviation goes from 14.1% to 16.9%. From 1997 - 2011, Emerging Market Bonds outperformed all other fixed income asset classes (TIPS, U.S. Bonds, Foreign Developed

Bonds) 54% of the time on a calendar year basis.

Volatility, Return, Fat Tails and Diversification Benefits Since 2003, Emerging Market Bonds have exhibited a standard deviation of 11.9%. Currency movements accounted for roughly two-

thirds of this total realized volatility. Over this same period, currency accounted for just over half of the Emerging Market Bond total return. Emerging Market Bonds have nearly double the negative skew and 1.5x the excess kurtosis of High Yield Bonds (1997 - 2011). Since 2003, skewness and excess kurtosis of local currency bonds have been more muted at -0.95 and 3.38. This compares to High

Yield Bonds which exhibited skewness and excess kurtosis of -1.44 and 9.10 over the same period. The fat tails can be directly related to the asset class exhibiting two historical drawdowns of over 25% (1994 and 1998). Double-digit

(positive and negative) monthly returns are not rare either. However, it is important to note that Emerging Market Bond fat tails are diversifying to those of other asset classes (i.e., 2000 - 2002 and 2007 - 2009).

Ways to Invest Foreign Developed, Core Plus and/or Hedge Fund managers allocate to Emerging Market Bonds opportunistically. Strategically allocate to Emerging Market Bonds with a strict bias to local currency. Summary Benefits: Higher return potential through yield premium to most developed markets. Diversifying return stream, especially during other asset classes’ extreme events. Direct exposure to growth, social development, and currency appreciation of emerging market economies, which are in a better

long-term position compared to most developed countries. Concerns: Volatile asset class (on par with U.S. Equities) driven in large part by currency oscillation and exacerbated by extraordinary fat tails. Elevated currency, fiscal and geopolitical policy risks, including emerging market contagion.

Conclusion Emerging Market bonds can serve a key purpose within a diversified portfolio. Many institutional and individual investors have ambitious spending requirements. While emerging market bonds have unique risks, they can improve overall risk-adjusted performance.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

FUND OBJECTIVE

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

TIPS returned 4.5%, trailing Treasuries by 200 basis points. Realized inflation crept higher during the quarter but did not translate into an increase

in the 10-year breakeven. In fact, the opposite occurred as the 10-year breakeven narrow ed from 2.4% to 1.7%. As a result, the reduction w as

caused by real yields not being able to keep up in the nominal yield rally. Overall, real yields declined w ith the 10-year coming in 0.6% to end the

quarter at 0.2% and the 30-year narrow ing 0.7% to 1.0%.

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

Domestic f ixed income saw positive returns across all major sectors. The yield curve ended relatively unchanged as rates continued to be

supported by the Fed’s accommodative policy and implementation of “Operation Tw ist”. The 2-year remained at 0.25% and the 30-year fell 1 basis

point to 2.89%. The 5-year w as the exception and outperformed the overall curve by declining 13 basis points to 0.83%. Overall, Treasuries

returned 0.9% for the quarter. Investment grade corporates outperformed duration matched Treasuries, returning 1.7%, as credit spreads

tightened over the quarter. Overall, fundamentals remained strong as corporate profits and cash levels remained at historically high levels. Among

investment grades, f inancial-backed issuers underperformed utility-backed and industrial-related corporates due to their disproportionate

exposures to sovereign Europe debt. Mortgage-backed securities moved higher despite concerns that government programs aimed at stimulating

the housing market w ill lead to increased refinancing activity and expectations for faster prepayments going forw ard. Commercial mortgage-

backed securities (CMBS) w ere the best performing structured product, outperforming Treasuries by 2.2%, as spreads rallied late in the quarter.

CMBS also saw an improvement in the new issuance market and stable delinquency rates. Asset-backed securities (ABS) produced positive

returns, but trailed Treasuries, as the sector saw spreads w iden. Within ABS, credit cards w ere the largest detractor follow ed by auto.

This fund is managed to take full advantage of the 35% limit on below investment-grade bonds, w hich tends to generate a higher risk/rew ard profile. In addition, management is w illing to take on added

interest rate risk through obtaining longer-duration bonds in order to gain higher yields. To ease some of this interest rate risk, the fund is structured w ith counter cyclical elements. In doing so, it w ill

utilize convertible bonds, municipal bonds, preferred stocks and foreign corporate and government bonds, in addition to the domestic corporate bonds w hich make up the majority of the fund.

• During the fourth quarter of 2011, an overw eight to U.S. duration coupled w ith interest rate exposure in the U.K., Canada and core Europe

added to returns as investors searched for bonds of nations w ith stronger balance sheets and top credit ratings.

• Within the corporate sector, holdings of w ell-capitalized f inancial institutions added to performance as investors differentiated among more

challenged financial institutions and those w ith healthier balance sheets.

• The fund’s emerging markets overw eight, specif ically external debt, also added to results as spreads tightened modestly. Additionally, local rate

exposure in Brazil w as positive for performance as rates fell amid low er global grow th expectations.

• On the dow nside, a curve steepening bias, implemented via Eurodollar futures, detracted from performance as most Eurodollar contracts

decreased in price.

• Holdings of Build America Bonds (BABs) also detracted.

and utility sectors.

• At the industry level, overw eight positions in communication, consumer cyclical and transportation, and underw eights in the capital goods,

consumer non-cyclical and utility sectors w eighed on returns.

• On the positive side, security selection in the energy and industrial sectors contributed to performance. At the industry level, a modestly

The fund utilizes a bottom-up, fundamental, value-oriented approach to analyze the issuer's business prospectus, management, capital requirements, capital structure, enterprise value, and security

structure and covenants. Credit analysts focusing solely on high yield have signif icant influence on buy/sell decisions, industry w eighting, and risk profile w ithin an industry. The analysts keep a

performance rating on each industry they follow , w hich determines relative w eightings in the portfolio. Relative positions w ithin each industry in terms of credit quality also result from analyst ratings.

Management may shift from w eaker to stronger credits and from cyclical to non-cyclical sectors if they believe the economic environment w ill w eaken and vice versa if they believe the economy w ill

strengthen.

portfolios returning 0.6% and outperforming their unhedged counterparts w hich lost 0.5%. Within Europe, Germany continued to benefit from its

perceived “safe haven” status and returned 1.9% as yields declined. Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain produced negative returns ranging from -

1.0% to -4.0 % w hile Greece w as the largest detractor w ith a return of -37.4%. Emerging market debt (EMD) generated positive returns as

investors continue to be draw n to the relatively high yield. Overall, EMD held up w ell in the volatile macro environment although concerns still loom

surrounding the details of China’s slow dow n. External debt, bonds issued in USD, outperformed during the quarter w ith Latin America leading the

w ay. Within the local currency segment, hedged portfolios outperformed as most emerging market currencies depreciated during the quarter.

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

The Russell 1000 Value Index advanced 13% during the fourth quarter of 2011, ending a highly volatile year in slightly positive territory. For the

quarter, large cap value stocks outperformed their large cap grow th counterparts. The quarter’s strong return w as fueled by encouraging U.S.

economic signs. Unemployment fell to 8.5%, its low est level since March 2009, and corporate earnings continued to be strong. Despite the short-

term positive new s, how ever, some concerns faced earlier in the year persisted, such as the slow economic recovery, a w eak U.S. housing

market, and the sovereign debt crisis and recession fears in Europe. Within the Index, the more economically sensitive names w ere among the

best performers. Chevron, the largest constituent in the Index, rallied 16% as the price of crude oil surged more than 20%, bolstered by improving

U.S. economic data and declining inventories.

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

Equity markets rose through much of the quarter, but ups and dow ns in the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and concerns about budget diff iculties

in the U.S. federal government created volatile conditions. The S&P 500 Index finished up 12%. The U.S. economy appeared to strengthen, as

industrial production increased, retail sales rose, and activity in the manufacturing sector improved. Personal income gained and consumer

sentiment improved, albeit from relatively low levels. The economy continued to add jobs, and the unemployment rate fell, although this resulted in

part from a decline in the labor force. Housing prices remained soft, attracting buyers as mortgage rates remained near historical low s. All 10

major sectors posted gains during the quarter. Leading the w ay w ere energy, industrials, materials and consumer discretionary. For the quarter,

value stocks outperformed grow th stocks, w hile small cap stocks outperformed large caps.

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

After a tumultuous third quarter, U.S. equity markets rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2011 amid stronger U.S. economic data and the belief that

Eurozone leaders could devise a plan to stabilize their debt crisis. Although unemployment levels remain stubbornly high, consumer balance sheets

continue to show signs of improvement. Consumer confidence jumped sharply in December, w ith noted improvements in the outlook for current

conditions, employment opportunities and f inancial situations. On the corporate side, earnings w ere once again robust w ith approximately 70%

exceeding forecasts. For the fourth quarter, the Russell MidCap Value Index, the Russell MidCap Grow th Index and the Russell MidCap Index

advanced 13.4%, 11.2% and 12.3%, respectively. Across market capitalizations, small- and mid-cap issues generally outperformed larger

Evidence of a deceleration in global economic grow th and mounting fiscal diff iculties of several major developed economies sent stocks low er

during the third quarter of 2011. Meanw hile, volatility soared amid w ild sw ings in investor sentiment based on new s headlines. In this environment,

the Russell 2000 Grow th Index declined 22%. Defensive sectors such as healthcare, utilities and consumer staples w ere the best performing

sectors in the Index, w hile sectors such as industrials, energy and materials underperformed. During the quarter, small cap stocks

underperformed large cap stocks. Considering w aning global grow th and smaller companies generally being more economically sensitive, this

underperformance relative to large caps is not surprising.

screening; regional, boutique brokers; and company contacts through industry conferences, trade show s or other research. Fundamental research is focused on strong earnings and ROE grow th, a low

debt to capitalization rate, strong balance sheet, and a solid management team. The portfolio is fairly concentrated at 45 - 50 stocks w ith turnover around 30%.

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

International small cap equities ended the third quarter of 2011 sharply low er. The quarter w as one of the most volatile periods for stocks in

history and stock markets around the globe posted steep losses. Investors remain concerned that global economic grow th is slow ing, and several

countries could slip into recession. Additionally, investor sentiment turned decidedly defensive because there appears to be no imminent resolution

to the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in Europe. For the quarter, European stocks declined more than those in the Pacif ic ex-Japan region, and

every emerging market region fell more than 20%. While both large- and small-capitalization stocks posted negative results, smaller-cap

international stocks marginally outperformed larger-cap international stocks.

DFA's quantitative approach begins w ith the countries in the MSCI World ex U.S. Index and focuses on securities possessing a high book value in relation to their market value. This sort excludes firms

w ith negative or zero book values and accounts for additional factors such as price-to-cash-flow or price-to-earnings ratios to assess value. They then take the bottom 10 - 15% of each of these

countries by f loat adjusted market cap w ith a f loor of $50 million and apply over 30 screens to narrow dow n the portfolio holdings. These exclusionary screens include trading issues such as liquidity,

f loat and trading history; pricing issues such as bankruptcy, merger target or foreign restrictions; or momentum. Some portfolio restrictions are applied such as a 25% limit on industries and 5% security

limits.

The fund seeks to invest in high quality companies w hen they are trading at a discounted price. High quality companies are defined as those w ith recurring revenue grow th, a quality management team, a

“core” business, and strong balance sheet. Fundamental research is conducted by Aberdeen's global team to understand the grow th prospects of the firm and the quality of the f inancials. The valuation

metrics used are determined by the type of company and its economic sector. Within risk controls, portfolios are constructed on a bottom-up basis using a very long-term outlook that has led to a low

turnover rate, but can also produce higher tracking error. The portfolio w ill typically hold 50 - 70 securities. Expense cap of 0.95% expires on 11/23/11. Expenses after 11/23 will reflect actual fees

capped at 1.10% through 2/27/13 (reviewed annually thereafter). Actual fees were 1.05% for the year ending 10/31/10.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

FUND OBJECTIVE

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - ASSET CLASS

International REITs w ere negative across all major regions as the index lost 16%. Asia continued to lag as Hong Kong and China w ere hindered by

slow ing sales, rising mortgage rates and tighter credit for developers. Japan outperformed during the quarter as JREITs continued to benefit from

Bank of Japan purchase programs. Canada held up w ell as investors f locked to the defensive country and Australia outperformed as company

fundamentals remained relatively stable. The UK, w hich has outperformed year to date, lagged as sentiment changed and banks brought real

estate portfolios to market. In Europe, increasing concerns around the sovereign debt crisis caused REITs to generally trade dow n w ith the

broader equity market and increased volatility in smaller cap names. Questions surrounding the banking system and the availability of future credit

have led companies to explore private placements and loans w ith insurance companies. It should be noted, how ever, that companies are w ell

capitalized and face smaller refinancing risks due to recent maturity extensions.

The fund’s team consists of almost 30 globally based investment professionals coordinated by the CIO, Joseph Harvey. Portfolio construction is done primarily on a bottom up basis using the regional

analysts' fundamental research. Net asset value and cash f low estimates are created for each company and the firm’s proprietary international valuation model then uses these inputs (price to NAV first

and cash f low grow th second) to determine optimal security w eights. Sector and geographic w eightings are driven primarily by their outlook for each national economy and an assessment of w hich

property types w ill perform best in that environment, considering the supply/demand conditions.

Commodities w ere broadly w eaker for the third quarter as increased volatility and macro concerns plagued the sector. Industrial metals and

energy w ere the hardest hit due to their high correlation to global grow th. Agriculture continued to lose ground after putting up sizable returns

earlier in the year. Farmers responded to favorable prices by planting more acreage w hich has increased expected supply and put dow nw ard

pressure on future prices. Livestock and precious metals w ere the tw o positive sectors for the quarter. Livestock continued to benefit from

favorable supply dynamics. Gold returned nearly 8% for the quarter despite the massive sell-off in September after it almost retraced the all-time

high made previously in the quarter.

The fund combines a position in commodity-linked derivative instruments, primarily sw aps through an offshore subsidiary, w ith an actively managed portfolio principally consisting of Treasury Inflation

Protected Securities (TIPS). The derivatives only require the fund to hold around 15% of its assets as collateral. The commodity-linked derivatives capture the return potential and diversif ication benefits of

the commodity futures market, w hile PIMCO's active fixed income management seeks to outperform T-Bills, net of fees. The strategy has the added advantage of benefiting concurrently from the inflation

hedging properties of both commodity futures and TIPS (Double Real).

issuance slow ed to approximately $2 billion in the 3rd quarter and included 2 IPOs. Debt offering in the space remained stable betw een $5 and $6

billion and shifted predominantly to investment grade names due to w idening credit spreads. As of quarter end, MLPs remain fairly priced and are

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

FUND OBJECTIVE

QUARTERLY COMMENTS - FUND

Hedge funds declined during the third quarter but preserved capital rather w ell relative to the broad equity markets, despite dragging most strategies

negative for the year. Equity hedge (-9.5%) and event driven (-7.0%) managers underperformed for the quarter w hile short biased (+13.2%) and

macro (+1.0%) managers outperformed amid elevated market volatility. Short-term systematic strategies (+4.1%) also benefitted nicely from volatile

trends in commodity and currency markets. Market neutral strategies (-3.3%) also outperformed broad equity indices, benefiting from continued

low er correlations. Relative value managers w ere modestly negative (-3.2%) for the quarter mainly due to spreads w idening. Fund of hedge funds

outperformed direct hedge funds due to additional portfolio tail risk strategies and market hedges. Broadly speaking, hedge funds continued to see

modest inflow s, partially offsetting performance-based asset declines. After reaching their highest exposures earlier this summer since 2008,

hedge funds continued to pare back leverage and raise cash given the fragility of market sentiment and other macro factors. The U.S. Securities

and Exchange Commission (SEC) extended the registration deadline for unregistered investment advisors, including hedge funds, until March 2012.

ContributionsQuarterly

• GIP experienced negative quarterly performance and underperformed its benchmark.

• Arbitrage/Credit and Equity oriented managers detracted from results w hile cash and Opportunistic managers outperformed.

• Domestic Hedge Equities, the fund’s third largest strategy allocation, w as the w orst performing strategy for the quarter. Short positions

contributed to results w hile long exposure to cyclical sectors and higher beta names lagged. A longer biased manager w ith nearly half of their

net long exposure in financials particularly w eighed on results.

• Other than short biased, all Arbitrage/Credit strategies w ere negative for the quarter. Event driven managers w ere the leading detractor from

performance. Losses primarily came from a manager w ith exposure to tier 1 European financials and Lehman Brothers combined w ith another

manger’s losses in HMOs and Asia.

• Geographic allocations remained relatively unchanged for the quarter.

• The team terminated a generalist equity hedge manager (underperformance relative to peers) and added a long biased, domestic equity hedge

manager focused on financials.

DEFINITION OF KEY STATISTICS Returns

Time-weighted average annual returns for the time periods indicated. Time weighted returns seek to eliminate the impact of external cash flows on the rate of return calculations. All returns are annualized if the period for which they are calculated exceeds one year.

Universe Comparison The universe compares the fund's returns to a group of other investment portfolios with similar investment strategies. The returns for the fund, the index and the universe percentiles are displayed. A percentile ranking of 1 is the best, while a percentile ranking of 100 is the worst. For example, a ranking of 50 indicates the fund outperformed half of the universe. A ranking of 25 indicates the fund was in the top 25% of the universe, outperforming 75%.

Returns In Up/Down Markets This measures how the fund performed in both up and down markets. The methodology is to segregate the performance for each time period into the quarters in which the market, as defined by the index, was positive and negative. Quarters with negative index returns are treated as down markets, and quarters with positive index returns are treated as up markets. Thus, in a 3 year or 12 quarter period, there might be 4 down quarters and 8 up quarters. A simple arithmetic average of returns is calculated for the fund and the index based on the up quarters. A simple arithmetic average of returns is calculated for the fund and the index based on the down quarters. The up market capture ratio is the ratio of the fund's return in up markets to the index. The down market capture ratio is the ratio of the fund's return in down markets to the index. Ideally, the fund would have a greater up market capture ratio than down market capture ratio.

Standard Deviation Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the range of performance within which the total returns of a fund fall. When a fund has a high standard deviation, the range of performance is very wide, meaning there is a greater volatility. Approximately 68% of the time, the total return of any given fund will differ from the average total return by no more than plus or minus the standard deviation figure. Ninety-five percent of the time, a fund’s total return will be within a range of plus or minus two times the standard deviation from the average total return. If the quarterly or monthly returns are all the same the standard deviation will be zero. The more they vary from one another, the higher the standard deviation. Standard deviation can be misleading as a risk indicator for funds with high total returns because large positive deviations will increase the standard deviation without a corresponding increase in the risk of the fund. While positive volatility is welcome, negative is not.

R-Squared This reflects the percentage of a fund’s movements that are explained by movements in its benchmark index. An R-squared of 100 means that all movements of a fund are completely explained by movements in the index.

Conversely, a low R-squared indicates very few of the fund’s movements are explained by movements in the benchmark index. R-squared can also be used to ascertain the significance of a particular beta. Generally, a higher R-squared will indicate a more reliable beta figure. If the R-squared is lower, then the beta is less relevant to the fund’s performance. A measure of diversification, R-squared indicates the extent to which fluctuations in portfolio returns are explained by market. An R-squared = 0.70 implies that 70% of the fluctuation in a portfolio's return is explained by the fluctuation in the market. In this instance, overweighting or underweighting of industry groups or individual securities is responsible for 30% of the fund's movement.

Beta This is a measure of a fund’s market risk. The beta of the market is 1.00. Accordingly, a fund with a 1.10 beta is expected to perform 10% better than the market in up markets and 10% worse that the market in down

markets. It is important to note, however, a low fund beta does not imply the fund has a low level of volatility; rather, a low beta means only that the fund’s market-related risk is low. Because beta analyzes the market risk of a fund by showing how responsive the fund is to the market, its usefulness depends on the degree to which the markets determine the fund's total risk (indicated by R-squared ).

Alpha The Alpha is the nonsystematic return, or the return that can’t be attributed to the market. It can be thought of as how the manager performed if the market’s return was zero. A positive alpha implies the manager added value to the return of the portfolio over that of the market. A negative alpha implies the manager did not contribute any value over the performance of the market.

Sharpe Ratio The Sharpe ratio is the excess return per unit of total risk as measured by standard deviation. Higher numbers are better, indicating more return for the level of risk experienced. The ratio is a fund's return minus the risk-free

rate of return (30-day T-Bill rate) divided by the fund’s standard deviation. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the more reward you are receiving per unit of total risk. This measure can be used to rank the performance of mutual funds or other portfolios.

Tracking Error Tracking error measures the volatility of the difference in annual returns between the manager and the index. This value is calculated by measuring the standard deviation of the difference between the manager and index returns. For example, a tracking error of +/- 5 would mean there is about a 68% chance (1 standard deviation event) that the manager's returns will fall within +/- 5% of the benchmark's annual return.

Information Ratio The information ratio is a measure of the consistency of excess return. This value is determined by taking the annualized excess return over a benchmark (style benchmark by default) and dividing it by the standard deviation of excess return.

Consistency Consistency shows the percent of the periods the fund has beaten the index and the percent of the periods the index has beat the fund. A high average for the fund (e.g. over 50) is desirable, indicating the fund has beaten the index frequently.
