Despite increased regulatory risk and volatility within the sector, we believe the global demand for energy resources should remain high, especially within developing market areas, and reflation efforts should sustain already elevated commodity prices. We also view participation within the energy sector as a potential hedge against geopolitical risk, and believe there is potential for more growth within the sector as the global recovery continues. Security selection within the information technology added value. Notable contributions came from security selection within the Internet software and services industry and computer storage industry, as these companies experienced strong corporate results. Our focus within the sector is on those companies that offer products that enhance consumer and corporate productivity, as well as those that benefit from considerable consumer demand. We believe the portfolio’s holdings are positioned to capitalize on the current innovation cycle that is bringing different technologies together, as well as from the pent-up demand for technology upgrade spending. In our view, strong growth catalysts remain within the technology sector. Security selection within consumer discretionary sectors contributed to relative returns. The allocation and security selection within the Internet retail industry added value. In sector, we are attracted to global businesses with strong brands and diversified revenue bases, as well as to lower-cost providers servicing a more cost-conscious consumer. In addition, we believe portfolio holdings are positioned to benefit from the rapid growth and maturation of a middle class in emerging markets. Security selection within materials detracted from relative performance. Within the sector, we believe persistent demand coming from many Asian economies, as well as continued global reflation efforts, should help sustain elevated commodity prices and benefit holdings. We are presently favoring those companies tied to the agricultural feed and fertilizer industries, as well as those associated with gold mining and production.
