Summary o Value has outperformed momentum and growth over the long term o Past market and economic cycles have been poor predictors of value s performance o Growth stocks are currently trading at extreme premiums to value stocks, and valuation dispersion within the market is well above average o Higher interest rates should cause long-duration stocks to underperform 11

Investments in smaller companies involve additional risks and typically exhibit higher volatility. Style Analysis. The universe is the MSCI ACWI Investable Market Index (IMI). Every security in the universe is scored on each of 8 style dimensions. These standardized scores range from +3 to -3, with a score of 0 being equal to the weighted average score across the universe, +3 being most representative of the style, and 3 being least representative of the style. Representative account style exposures are the weighted average of the style scores of all portfolio holdings. Value style scores are calculated relative to country. Momentum style scores are calculated on a global basis. Active style exposures measure the difference between the portfolio style exposures and the benchmark style exposures. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index, designed to measure developed market equity performance, consisting of 23developed country indices, including the U.S. The Index is designed to measure the performance of the large and mid cap segments of the US market. With 631 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in the US. The Value Index captures large and mid cap US securities exhibiting overall value style characteristics. The value investment style characteristics for index construction are defined using three variables: book value to price, 12-month forward earnings to price and dividend yield. The Growth Index captures large and mid cap securities exhibiting overall growth style characteristics in the US. The growth investment style characteristics for index construction are defined using five variables: long-term forward EPS growth rate, short-term forward EPS growth rate, current internal growth rate and long-term historical EPS growth trend and long-term historical sales per share growth trend. The MSCI World ex USA Index captures large and mid cap representation across 22 of 23 Developed Markets (DM) countries --excluding the United States. With 1,013 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country.
