11 Managed Volatility Investing There are many different types of absolute-risk equity strategies but many share a common theme: Reduce absolute volatility "as much as possible." By how much should we reduce volatility? During a market crisis, ideally as much as possible. During a sustained bull run in equity markets, too much volatility reduction: - is likely to sacrifice returns; and - may not be needed. Dynamic volatility management can be achieved through portfolio construction. 9

21 Hypothetical Performance Disclosures The slide on page is being provided for illustrative purposes only. The results are hypothetical, not real, and have many inherent limitations. They do not reflect the results or risks associated with actual trading or the actual performance of any portfolio, and have been prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Therefore, there is no guarantee that an actual portfolio would have achieved the results shown. In fact, there will be differences between hypothetical and actual results. No investor should assume that future performance will be profitable, or equal to the results shown. The hypothetical results are based on random manager selection as discussed on the slide. The managers and INTECH have not traded contemporaneously to formulate the results. In no circumstances should the hypothetical results be regarded as a representation, warranty, or prediction that investors will achieve or are likely to achieve the results displayed or that investors will be able to avoid losses. The hypothetical results reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, include trading fees, but do not reflect the deduction of advisory fees and other expenses, which will materially lower results over time. Performance of INTECH simulated data combined with the past live performance of managers in the evestment universes shown is no guarantee of future results. As with all investments, there are inherent risks. There are no warranties, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from evestment or other third parties used to create the hypothetical results. Please also see Simulations Disclaimer at the end of this presentation for additional information on the inherent limitations of INTECH s simulated performance used herein. 19
22 Simulations Disclaimer All simulated performance results have been compiled solely by INTECH and have not been independently verified. Simulations potentially allow investors to understand and evaluate INTECH s investment process by seeing how a strategy/product would have performed hypothetically during certain time periods. This material is provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as an offer to sell, or the solicitation of offers to buy, or a recommendation for any security. It has been prepared for, and authorized for internal use by, designated institutional and professional investors and their consultants or for such other use as may be authorized by INTECH or its affiliates. This material and/or its contents are current at the time of writing and may not be reproduced or distributed in whole or in part, for any purpose, without the express written consent of INTECH. Although the information contained herein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, its accuracy and completeness cannot be guaranteed. Simulated results are hypothetical, not real. They do not reflect the results or risks associated with actual trading or the actual performance of any account. Simulated performance results are prepared with the benefit of hindsight. As a result, the simulations may be theoretically changed from time to time to obtain results that are more favorable. Simulation results do not reflect material, economic, and market factors that may have impacted INTECH s trading or decision-making in the actual management of a client s account. Simulated returns should not be considered indicative of INTECH s mathematical process, as INTECH may not have managed money during some of the periods shown or may not have managed money for the particular strategy/product shown. INTECH s mathematical optimization process was applied to historical data to produce the simulations. Unlike traditional simulations that do involve fundamental estimates, INTECH s do not. In addition, the proprietary mathematical investment process used by INTECH may not achieve the desired results. INTECH s simulated performance results have inherent limitations, including, among other things: 1) simulated performance results are prepared with the benefit of hindsight; 2) no price-based or volume-based deleted list; 3) no posted list; 4) index constituent changes done as a group at the beginning of the month (typically done once or twice a year based on the index changes); 5) simulated trades take place at the closing price (+80 bps for countries in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and +40 bps for developed countries), while INTECH actually trades intra-day (historically, INTECH's domestic trading costs have been below the 40 bps used in the simulations); and 6) six trading tranches are simulated with the average of the six tranches being reported as the result for the period. Past performance of simulated data is no guarantee of future results. Therefore, no current or prospective client should assume that future performance will be profitable, or equal to either the simulated performance results shown or any corresponding historical index. In particular, simulations do not reflect actual trading in an account, so there is no guarantee that an actual account would have achieved the results shown. In fact, there may be differences between simulated performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved. In no circumstances should simulated returns be regarded as a representation, warranty, or prediction that investors will achieve or are likely to achieve the performance results displayed, or that investors will be able to avoid losses. Investing involves risk, including fluctuation in value, the possible loss of principal and total loss of investment. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading strategy, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of simulated performance results, all of which can adversely affect actual trading results. Any clients invested in the strategy/product may have experienced investment results during any relevant periods that were materially different from those portrayed in the simulations. The simulated results include the reinvestment of all dividends, interest, and capital gains, but do not reflect deduction of investment advisory fees. Thus, simulated returns will be reduced by advisory fees and any other expenses that may be incurred in the management of an account, which will materially lower returns over time. Simulated benchmark returns are computed using daily stock returns and a constituent list that is updated monthly (quarterly, in the case of Russell indices for dates prior to 1987). This construction methodology implies the following potential differences between the simulated and actual indexes during the period between two consecutive sampling points: (1) the simulated index may include a security that has been dropped from the actual index sometime after the latest sampling point; (2) the simulated index may not include a security added to the actual index until the following sampling point; and (3) the market weights of the simulated index for a stock belonging to both the simulated and the actual index may differ slightly due to floating capitalization adjustments, or treatment of returns (due to different sources of returns, dividends, mergers, spinoffs, and other corporate actions). Actual benchmark returns may be higher or lower than simulated returns and are available upon request. An index is unmanaged, is not available for direct investment, and does not reflect the deduction of management fees or other expenses.
