Quarterly returns based on the line item net increase in net assets resulting from operations on the income statement. To calculate a quarterly return rate, quarterly returns were divided by the sum of the net asset value from the prior quarter s filing (beginning net asset value) and half of the change in paid-in capital between the prior quarter and the then-current quarter. Annual and cumulative figures derived from compounding of quarterly returns. 1. Total return average was calculated by taking the geometric average of all quarterly returns and then annualizing this return by multiplying it by four. 20
