** Due to the composite’s significant cash flow policy there was a temporary two month period in July 2009 and August 2009 when there were no accounts included in the composite. Therefore the continuous track record for the composite begins September 1, 2009 despite the April 1, 2009 composite inception date and the 2Q09 period performance is presented on a stand alone basis. |
