Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The returns presented above are gross of fees. The results do not reflect the deduction of investment-management fees; the client's return will be reduced by the management fees and any other expenses incurred in the management of its account. For example, a US$100 million account, paying a 0.50% annual fee, with a given rate of 10% compounded over a 10-year period would result in a net-of-fee return of 9.5%.
