The majority of these assets have calendar year-end measurement periods; therefore, our incentive fees are primarily recognized in the fourth quarter when the uncertainty is removed at the end of the annual measurement period. |

The reconciliation of operating income before management fee expense to operating income is provided in Table VII. |

| Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and | |||||||||
| expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. | |||||||||
| Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads. If an expense waiver was in effect, it may have had a material effect on the | |||||||||

| Relative long-term investment performance remained strong with approximately 50%, 55%, 68% and 67% of firmwide mutual funds in the top half of their Lipper categories on a one-, | |||||||||
| three-, five-, and ten-year total-return basis, respectively, as of June 30, 2011. | |||||||||
