From a sector perspective, security selection within materials, notably within the steel and gold industries, hurt relative performance. Security selection within information technology also detracted value. We remain bullish on the information technology sector due to its high long-term growth potential, relatively stronger balance sheets, and corporate demand for productivity enhancements. Performance benefited from security selection within the financials and consumer staples sectors. Within financials, the portfolio was particularly well served by security selection within the asset management industry. In the consumer staples sector, the portfolio’s security selection within the agricultural products industry contributed to relative performance. The small portion of the portfolio comprised of higher-yielding convertible securities added value to the quarter’s performance. Consistent with our philosophy in the strategy, we generally avoid the most speculative-grade credits. As of 3/31/11 Past performance does not guarantee or indicate future results.
