Security selection within the financials and energy sectors also added value. In contrast, selection decisions within information technology and materials detracted from relative returns. From a geographic perspective, an underweight to Japan added value. We are analyzing the longer-term economic effects from the events in Japan, including the impact to individual companies, the global economic recovery, as well as the potential currency implications associated with the yen intervention. The portfolio’s holdings within the United States and United Kingdom also contributed to relative returns. As of 3/31/11 Past performance does not guarantee or indicate future results.
