ATTRIBUTION SUMMARY Attribution Summary of the Identified Periods Identifies the relative performance impact of the manager's security and market or sector selection decisions. Note: In this glossary the terms market and sector are used interchangeably. For domestic (single country) equity funds, the MSCI/S&P joint venture Industry Sector breakdown (10 categories) is used to determine the sector categorizations. For regional (multi-country) equity funds, countries are used to determine market categorizations (see the report s footnote regarding Other Countries aggregations). For multi-country funds that primarily invest across regions, the market categorization displayed encompasses regional levels (e.g., Asia ex Japan, Europe), major market levels (e.g., United States, Japan, Canada), or aggregated levels (e.g., Emerging Markets, Other). Average Benchmark Weight (actual) The percent of the benchmark total value represented by each sector across the reporting period. This number represents an average of the daily percentages. Average Benchmark Weight (rescaled) Sector weights are calculated using the total market value of the primary assets (equities and convertibles) rather than total net assets in order. Typically, the actual and rescaled weights are the same for a benchmark, as benchmarks typically do not have cash holdings or expenses. Average Fund Weight (actual) The percent of portfolio assets represented by each sector across the reporting period. This number represents an average of the daily sector percentages. Average Fund Weight (rescaled) Sector weights are calculated using the total market value of the primary assets (equities and convertibles) rather than total net assets in order to provide a more consistent comparison to the benchmark, which typically does not have cash holdings or expenses. Calculation: (Sum of exposure weight of all sectors over all days)/days in reporting period * 100 Sum of exposure weights of total primary assets over all days in reporting period Average Relative Weight (actual) The difference between the portfolio and benchmark actual sector weights. Average Relative Weight (rescaled) The difference between the portfolio and benchmark rescaled sector weights. Calculation: Rescaled portfolio sector weight Rescaled benchmark sector weight Cash Cash reflects the portfolio or benchmark s net cash position. This category includes (among other things): overnight cash, currency, debt securities with less than one year to maturity, and payable/receivable amounts resulting from trades pending settlement. Contribution to Relative Return: Market Selection G-4

12 The market** selection component of contribution to relative return measures the relative performance of the manager s sector weighting decisions to the difference in performance between the portfolio and benchmark. Specifically, this measure captures the portfolio s over/under weighting (using rescaled weights) of a sector to the sector s over/under performance (the benchmark s sector return relative to the total benchmark s return). Within this portion of contribution to relative return, value added [detracted] can be achieved in two ways. First, a sector category outperforming the total benchmark can be over [under] weighted. Second, a sector category underperforming the total benchmark can be under [over] weighted. The contribution of market selection is calculated daily, across the entire reporting period, and its cumulative effect is expressed in basis points. ** The generic term market here is applied to sectors. Contribution to Relative Return: Security Selection The security selection component of contribution to relative return measures the relative performance of the portfolio s performance within a sector to that of the benchmark s performance within the same sector*. This relative performance measure reflects the portfolio s weight (rescaled) within each sector. The contribution of security selection is calculated on a daily basis across the entire reporting period, and its cumulative effect is expressed in basis points (BP). *If the sector; however, is not in the benchmark, then the portfolio s performance within the sector is compared to the full benchmark s total return. Cumulative Return: Relative The difference between the performance of the portfolio and benchmark for the reporting period. Expenses This category reflects the expenses of the full portfolio (i.e., all share classes, where applicable) as provided by the accounting system daily feeds. Other Investments Other investments reflect other non-primary assets. This category may include (among other things): preferred stock, debt securities with greater than one year to maturity, fair value adjustments, and adjustments to a portfolio s NAV not associated with a particular portfolio holding. [Grand] Total The relative and absolute performance of the complete portfolio and benchmark. Total Primary Assets Only Primary Assets refer to the asset classes that reflect the composition of the benchmark. For example, in an equity portfolio, equity securities (stocks and convertibles) would comprise the primary assets of the portfolio when compared to the benchmark. Contribution to Relative Return: Total (actual) The total contribution of the manager s security and sector selection decisions to the difference in performance between the portfolio and benchmark using actual weights. Contribution to Relative Return: Total (rescaled) The total contribution of the manager s security and sector selection decisions to the difference in performance between the portfolio and benchmark. Calculation: Security Selection + Market Selection per sector. Cumulative Returns: Fund and Benchmark The change in an investment s value for a specific period calculated using the performance of the underlying assets. ASSET ALLOCATION ATTRIBUTION Performance Summary by Asset Class for the Identified Periods Quantifies the manager s relative performance and positioning by asset class during the identified periods. Each asset class displayed is an aggregation of the portfolio s weight and performance relative to the displayed composite benchmark. G-5

13 Benchmark Average Weight The percent of the benchmark total value represented by asset class sector across the reporting period. This number represents an average of the daily percentages. Cash & Other Assets Cash reflects the portfolio or benchmark s net cash position. Cash includes (among other things): overnight cash, currency, debt securities with less than one year to maturity. Other assets includes (among other things); payable/receivable amounts resulting from trades pending settlement, fair value adjustments, and adjustments to a portfolio s NAV not associated with a particular portfolio holding. Contribution to Relative Return The total difference in performance between the portfolio and the benchmark. Contribution to Relative Return, at a security level, is a combination of over<under>weighting a position and the over<under>performance of the position, relative to the total benchmark. Contributions to Relative Return can then be aggregated to any level desired (e.g., asset class). Contribution to Relative Return values sum up to the total difference in relative performance between the portfolio and benchmark. Cumulative Return: Relative The difference between the performance of the portfolio and the benchmark for the reporting period. Cumulative Returns: Fund and Benchmark The change in an investment s value for a specific period calculated using the performance of the underlying assets. Expenses This category reflects the expenses of the full portfolio (i.e., all share classes, where applicable) as provided by the accounting system daily feeds. Fund Average Weight The percent of portfolio assets represented by each asset class across the reporting period. This number represents an average of the daily asset class percentages. Relative Average Weight The difference between the portfolio and benchmark actual asset class weights. Short Term Investments & Other Net Assets (Asset Manager Funds Only) Short Term Investments & Net Other Assets is a category used only for the Asset Manager Funds instead of the Cash & Other Assets category. This category is the same as the Cash & Other Assets category except this category includes debt securities with less than or equal to 397 calendar days to maturity, per Asset Manager Funds definition of cash securities. Total Fund Grand Totals The absolute average weights and relative performance of the complete portfolio and benchmark. Total Invested Assets Subtotals Total Invested Assets refers to the full portfolio less expenses. PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS 1 Year EPS Growth (IBES Forecast) Measures the consensus of Wall Street analysts estimates for earnings per share growth over the next year. See IBES 1 Year Sales/Share Growth Measures year-over-year sales per share growth. Assets Coverage The percent of the portfolio s equity assets for which the corresponding portfolio characteristic is provided. G-6

14 Dividend Yield The ratio that reflects the annual rate at which dividends are being paid, including extra dividends, relative to the current share price EPS Growth 1 Year Trailing Measures the growth in reported earnings per share over the past year. EPS Growth 5 Year Trailing Measures the growth in reported earnings per share over a five year period. IBES A third-party source for analyst earnings estimates. IBES databases provide global current and historical earnings information. Long Term EPS Growth (IBES Forecast) This statistic is identical to the one calculated for the 1 Year EPS Growth (IBES Forecast) with one exception: the EPS Growth measured here is a consensus of Wall Street analysts estimates for long term (typically but not exclusively five years) EPS growth rates. Market Cap Ranges Provides a comparison of the portfolio and index equity holdings allocation at the end of the reporting period across the provided ranges. This section provides some insight into the two market cap measures in the Size section above. Mean Market Cap ($ Billions) Identifies the mean market capitalization of the portfolio or benchmark as determined by the underlying security market caps. Median Market Cap ($ Billions) Identifies the median market capitalization of the portfolio or benchmark as determined by the underlying security market caps. Price/Book The ratio of a company's current share price to reported accumulated profits and capital. Price/Cashflow The ratio of a company s current share price to reported cashflow. Price/Earnings (IBES 1 Year Forecast) The ratio of a company s current share price to Wall Street analysts estimates of earnings. Price Earnings/Growth (IBES Forecast) The ratio of forward earnings, used by the market to value the firm, to its long term forecasted growth rate. Price/Earnings Trailing The ratio of a company's current share price to reported earnings Price/Earnings Trailing, ex negative earnings Identical to Price/Earnings Trailing with one exception: all companies with negative reported earnings are excluded entirely from the portfolio or benchmark level calculation. Price/Sales The ratio of the company s current share price to the company s reported sales. Return on Equity 1 Year Trailing The ratio of a company s reported one year profitability to its shareholders equity. Preferred stock is included as part of each company s net worth. Return on Equity 5 Year Average The ratio of a company s last five years historical profitability to its shareholders equity. Preferred stock is included as part of each company s net worth. Securities Coverage The first value represents the total count of the number of equity securities and ADR s, excluding convertibles, in the portfolio for which the corresponding portfolio G-7

15 characteristic is provided. The second value represents the total number of equity securities in the portfolio. Weighted Average Characteristics Compares selected characteristics of the portfolio to its benchmark, grouping them into four broad categories titled Valuation, Growth, Size and Market Cap Ranges. The characteristics of the U.S. and foreign equity holdings (includes Common and Unit stocks and ADRs; excludes Convertibles) of the portfolio and benchmark are calculated as of the reporting end date. The definitions provided are written in the context of an individual company held by the portfolio or benchmark; however, these are all portfolio level characteristics. These portfolio level characteristics are based upon the underlying weights of the securities within the portfolio or benchmark. If data is not available or if the coverage percentage is not considered meaningful, the characteristic field is left blank. References to current share price in the definitions below denote the security per share market value at the end of the reporting period. Fidelity Inflation Protected Bond, Fidelity International Small Cap, Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund, FA Mortgage Securities Initial Class, Spartan NY Municipal Income and Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal respectively. Initial offering of Class T shares for FA Emerging Asia (6/15/99) and FA Korea (7/3/00), was on each date listed. Returns prior to each date listed reflect the performance of the funds as closed end funds. Had Class T's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns would have been lower. Weighted Average Market Cap ($ Billions) Identifies the market capitalization of the average equity holding as determined by the dollars invested in the portfolio or benchmark. Weighted Median Market Cap ($ Billions) Identifies the market capitalization of the median equity holding as determined by the dollars invested in the portfolio or benchmark. OTHER DEFINITIONS Pre-inception Performance: Class T Class T shares are sold to eligible investors with a 12b-1 fee. Initial offering of Class T shares for FA Equity Growth, FA Equity Income and FA Intermediate Bond was on 9/10/92. Prior returns are those of Class I.
