¹Pensions & Investments, May 2009

²2009 "Best Short U.S. Government Funds" is based on risk-adjusted performance for the three-year, five year, and ten year periods and is out of 82, 76, and 53 funds, respectively, for the period ended Dec. 31, 2008. Lipper Fund Awards are granted annually to the funds in each Lipper classification that achieve the highest score for Consistent Return, a measure of funds' historical risk-adjusted returns, measured in local currency, relative to peers. Funds registered for sale in a given country are selected, then scores for Consistent Return are computed for all Lipper global classifications with five or more distinct portfolios. The scores are subject to change every month and are calculated for the following periods: three-year, five-year, ten-year, and overall. The highest 20% of funds in each classification are named Lipper Leaders for Consistent Return. The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over three, five, or ten years.

³2008 “Best Mixed Asset—Large Overall Fund Family” is for the three-year, risk-adjusted performance among 32 large fund groups for the period ended Dec. 31, 2007. Large fund groups with at least five equity, five bond, and three mixed asset portfolios that received Consistent Return scores as of Dec. 31, 2007, are eligible for an overall fund group award. Although Lipper makes reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data contained herein, the accuracy is not guaranteed by Lipper. Lipper determined the large fund group awards by averaging the decile rank of the three-year Consistent Return scores for all of the firm’s funds within the asset class, and the eligible group with the lowest average decile rank received the award for that asset class. In the case of a tie, the group with the lower average percentile rank received the award.
