Small-Cap Growth Portfolio

We seek superior, long-term returns by identifying growth companies at an early or transitional stage of development, before the general market discovers their potential. The team employs a bottom-up, fundamental, active management style, emphasizing growth companies at attractive valuations. We add value for clients by conducting extensive company due diligence, focusing on companies' long-term earnings potential, and differentiation versus their peers.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW – 6/30/05⁽¹⁾

(1) Performance figures are net of fees and commissions, and the composite calculation has been weighted for the size of each individual account. Performance reflects the inclusion of dividends, interest and other earnings. All performance figures for periods of one year and greater are annualized. Performance results for individual accounts may vary due to the timing of investments, fees, size of positions and other reasons. PAST PERFORMANCE SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A GUARANTEE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. YES accounts are included in the above performance composite at the beginning of each account's first full calendar month under management. All accounts are managed on a discretionary basis. Wrap accounts are not included. Performance results prior to 1/1/98 were compiled by the Concord Advisory Group. From 1/1/98, results are calculated internally using the Advent investment management software and information provided by outside custodial firms.
