Wells Capital Management ( WellsCap ) claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. WellsCap has been independently verified for the periods from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 217. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The Analytic Investors Global Long/Short Equity I Composite has been examined for the periods from December 1, 29 through December 31, 217. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request. 2. WellsCap is a registered investment adviser and a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo Asset Management Holdings, LLC. Since the firm s creation in 1996, the firm has acquired a number of investment teams and/or assets through mergers and acquisitions. These include assets and/or investment teams from Norwest Investment Management Inc., Sutter Advisors, LLC, Montgomery Asset Management, Benson Associates, Strong Financial Corporation, Evergreen Investments, First International Advisors, LLC, Metropolitan West Capital Management, LLC, EverKey Global Partners, ECM Asset Management Limited and Analytic Investors, LLC. In addition, Golden Capital Management, LLC was added to the firm effective September 3, 217. In all cases, the investment teams involved in each acquisition and merger remain autonomous teams within WellsCap. 3. The Analytic Investors I Composite ( Composite ) consists of all discretionary accounts managed in this style. From a GIPS perspective, the Analytic Investors team joined WellsCap at close of business March 31, 217 and as such the Total Firm Assets are only applicable since the date of acquisition. The strategy consists of long-short equity portfolios investing in global developed equity securities, maintaining a target beta of.. For every $ invested, the strategy buys up to $ in securities and sells short up to $3 in securities. Investment results are measured versus the HFRI Equity Hedge (Total) Index, representing the broad global developed markets. The World (Net) Index is a secondary index. Prior to March 1, 214, the World (Net) Index was the primary index; the index change was made in 214, for all subsequent periods, to better align the composite s equity exposure and risk expectations with those of the index. The Composite creation date and inception date is December 1, 29. Performance shown prior to April 1, 217 represents results achieved by the Analytic Investors team prior to their acquisition by WellsCap. 4. Composite returns are net of transaction costs and non-reclaimable withholding taxes, if any, are expressed in U.S. dollars, and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Gross composite returns do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees. Net composite returns are calculated using actual investment advisory fees. The Composite may contain accounts with performance-based fees. Net returns are net of any performance-based fees. WellsCap s fee schedules are available upon request and may also be found in Part 2 of Form ADV. The published fee schedule for this strategy is 1.% on all assets under management, plus 2 percent of the 12-month incremental return over a pre-determined threshold. Additional information regarding WellsCap s policies for valuing accounts, calculating performance and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.. Effective January 1, 217, internal dispersion is the equal-weighted standard deviation of the annual gross returns of all accounts included in the composite for the entire year. Prior to January 1, 217, internal dispersion was calculated using the asset-weighted standard deviation of all accounts included in the composite for the entire year. For years where there are or fewer accounts in the composite for the entire year, dispersion is not presented as it is not a meaningful statistical calculation. The 3-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the gross composite returns and the index returns over the preceding 36-month time period. The notation N.A. (not available) will appear for periods, if any, where 36 monthly returns are not available for the composite and/or the index. 6. Index returns are provided to represent the investment environment existing during the time periods shown and are not covered by the report of independent verifiers. The HFRI Monthly Indices ( HFRI ) are a series of benchmarks designed to reflect hedge fund industry performance by constructing equally weighted composites of constituent funds, as reported by the hedge fund managers listed within HFR Database. The HFRI ranges in breadth from the industry-level view of the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index, which encompasses over 2 funds, to the increasingly specific-level of the sub-strategy classifications. Equity Hedge strategies maintain positions both long and short in primarily equity and equity derivative securities. A wide variety of investment processes can be employed to arrive at an investment decision, including both quantitative and fundamental techniques; strategies can be broadly diversified or narrowly focused on specific sectors and can range broadly in terms of levels of net exposure, leverage employed, holding period, concentrations of market capitalizations and valuation ranges of typical portfolios. Equity Hedge managers would typically maintain at least % exposure to, and may in some cases be substantially entirely invested in equities, both long and short. The historical returns of the HFRI Benchmarks may be amended by the provider to reflect manager universe updates. These updates sometimes occur months after HFRI Benchmark returns are published. Accordingly, HFRI Benchmark returns are fixed at the point of inclusion and remain unchanged until the next annual update. The World (Net) Index is a market-capitalization weighted index that measures the equity market performance of developed markets. The Index is fully invested, which includes the reinvestment of income. The returns for the Index do not include any transaction costs, management fees or other expenses. 7. Actual performance results may differ from composite returns, depending on the size of the account, investment guidelines and/or restrictions, inception date and other factors. Performance for some accounts in this composite may be calculated by third-parties that use different security pricing and performance methodologies. Past performance is not indicative of future results. As with any investment vehicle, there is always the potential for gains as well as the possibility of losses.
