Returns are shown after the deduction of management fees, transactioncosts and other expenses, but before custody charges, withholding taxes, and other indirect expenses. The returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

    The Global Focused Equity Strategy declined 2.4% net of fees for the quarter. The strategys reference benchmark, MSCI All Country World index, rose 0.4%.

    Negative contributions came from holdings in Apache Corp, BPZ Resources, Methanex, and LyondellBasell in the United States. A position in Statoil in Norway also hurt returns. Apache, BPZ Resources, and Statoil traded down with other oil sensitive names. Energy companies everywhere have suffered. The drop in oil prices has been the result of oversupply and tepid demand growth, intensified by Saudi Arabias production and pricing strategy. Brent has fallen almost 70% in the quarter and oil names have been under pressure as lower oil prices imply lower selling prices and profit margins, less incentive for additional exploration, and potentially lower payouts to shareholders. LyondellBasell and Methanex, like other petrochemical companies, have benefited tremendously for a number of years from access to low natural gas while the rest of the world made competitive products with higher cost oil. As oil prices have declined, so too have profit margins. We believe that the stocks are very cheap at current levels and continue to hold them.

    A positive contribution came from American Airlines, United Continental Airlines, and TriMas in the United States. Both American and United Airlines continue to benefit from the industry tailwinds of solid traffic trends and pricing, capacity discipline, and lower fuel costs. The stocks continue to be cheap despite the significant earnings growth that they offer and we still have conviction in both names. TriMas, a manufacturer and distributor of engineered and applied products, surprised investors by announcing a spin-off of their lowest margin business. The resulting portfolio of products and services is more focused, higher margin, and higher growth. We expect that the valuation discount between TriMas and the industrials sector will continue to narrow.

    Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not predictive of future performance. Returns are shown after the deduction of management fees, transactioncosts and other expenses, but before custody charges, withholding taxes, and other indirect expenses. The returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

    The International Active EAFE Strategy fell 5.2% net of fees in the fourth quarter; the strategy was 1.7 percentage points behind the MSCI EAFE index, which declined 3.6%.

    Country selection was behind the benchmark. Our positioning in Europe subtracted from returns, particularly an overweight position in Italy, as the market underperformed MSCI EAFE in the quarter.

    Stock selection also lagged the benchmark in the fourth quarter. Holdings in Europe underperformed, largely due to financials and energy companies.

    European financials struggled as the much anticipated asset quality review (AQR) for European banks did not inspire enough investor confidence to make up for the stop-start recovery in Europe and the ECBs dragging its feet on QE. We are encouraged that now that the AQR is complete the ECB can embark on QE.

    Energy companies everywhere, including Europe, have suffered. The drop in oil prices has been the result of oversupply and tepid demand growth, intensified by Saudi Arabias production and pricing strategy. Brent has fallen almost 70% in the quarter and big oil names have been under pressure as a major part of the investment case for these companies depends on the ability to generate strong free cash flows in the near future. We continue to see some value in energy stocks, particularly in Europe, but a lower-for-longer oil price has impaired the investment thesis for some of our holdings. As a result, we have sold our energy position down to neutral and have kept only the stocks with dividends that we believe are safe at current oil prices.

    On the positive side, stock selection in Korea helped returns as a holding in an information technology company outperformed. The combination of a November buyback announcement, the news of a dividend increase, and the bottoming of negative earnings provisions led to a rally in the share price.

Returns are shown after the deduction of management fees, transactioncosts and other expenses, but before custody charges, withholding taxes, and other indirect expenses. The returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

    The International Active Foreign Small Companies Strategy underperformed the S&P Developed ex-U.S. Small Cap index by 1.1 percentage points in the fourth quarter, declining 3.7% net of fees while the benchmark fell 2.6%.

    Country selection was behind the benchmark in the quarter. Our positioning in Europe subtracted from returns, particularly an overweight position in Italy, as the market underperformed the benchmark in the quarter. This was somewhat offset by an underweight position in Canada, which added to returns.

    Stock selection also lagged the benchmark in the fourth quarter. Our holdings in Canada and Korea underperformed. In Canada, the portfolio was particularly hurt by the small-cap energy companies, as energy companies everywhere have suffered. The drop in oil prices has been the result of oversupply and tepid demand growth, intensified by Saudi Arabias production and pricing strategy. Brent has fallen almost 70% in the quarter and oil sensitive names have been under pressure as lower oil prices imply lower selling prices and profit margins, less incentive for additional exploration, and potentially lower payouts to shareholders. Koreas DGB financial fell after announcing a highly dilutive rights issue. While the company says it is raising money for future growth, the market is skeptical. On the positive side, stock selection in Europe did well.

    Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not predictive of future performance. Returns are shown after the deduction of management fees, transactioncosts and other expenses, but before custody charges, withholding taxes, and other indirect expenses. The returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

    The Emerging Markets Strategy lost 5.0% net of fees in the fourth quarter, underperforming the 4.6% drop in the S&P/IFCI Composite by 0.5%. Overall, country-sector allocation detracted 1.5% but stock selection added 0.8%.

    Emerging markets had a good start to the quarter on the back of positive reforms in China and India. The gains were wiped out later by a steep fall in crude oil prices and a general dampening in demand for riskier assets. Country returns varied over the quarter, ranging from an 11.6% jump in Turkey to a 32.9% drop in Russia. Sector returns were more clustered, varying from a 1.6% rise in Financials to a fall of 24.5% for Energy.

    Investor sentiment in Brazil deteriorated as Dilma Rousseff was re-elected president. The stock market preferred the opposition candidate who had promised a move away from the micromanaging style of the current government. Further depressing sentiment was the drop in crude oil prices and a corruption scandal at Petrobras. Some relief came at the end of the quarter from the appointment of a market-friendly team at the finance ministry, engendering hopes for an improvement in fiscal policy. Our overweight in Brazil Utilities and Telecommunications negatively impacted performance.

    Stocks in China gained from speculation the government is pushing forward with market reforms and the restructuring of state-owned companies. The government pressed state-owned companies to adjust prices to reflect market conditions. Investors also placed funds into Chinese equities in anticipation of the start of an exchange link with Hong Kong. A further boost in sentiment came from an easing of restrictions on mortgage loans and from the central bank unexpectedly lowering rates. The action was prompted by signs of a deeper slowdown than expected. Also helping the market was the drop in oil prices as China is a major crude oil importer. Our overweight in China Financials and Telecommunications added to performance.

    Indian stocks jumped as investors saw the government accelerating policy changes to boost economic growth. Prime Minister Modi, fresh off a landslide victory in May, ended price controls on diesel, raised natural-gas tariffs, and relaxed rules on foreign investment in property development. The government also clarified its policy on mining and selling coal. Stocks in India rose as the crude oil price dropped. India imports about 80% of its oil and the oil import bill has been a major driver of its worrisome current account deficit. Inflation has dropped to 5.5% from a high of 11.2% last year. This, along with the fall in oil prices, has boosted market expectations of a cut in interest rates. Our overweight in India Financials contributed to performance.

    The Russian stock market fell on fears of an escalation in the Ukraine crisis as the Ukrainian government accused Russia of supplying arms to the rebels. Also deeply depressing sentiment was the steep fall in crude oil prices. Commodities constitute the bulk of Russias exports and about half of its budget revenue comes from oil and gas taxes. The Russian central bank raised its key interest rate to the highest since September 2013. It also lowered its forecast for economic growth in 2015 to zero and pushed back its estimate for meeting an inflation target of 4% by one year from 2016. Our overweight in Russia Energy and Financials detracted from performance.

    Stock selection was additive to performance, particularly in Russia Energy and Korea IT.
