Performance Review for Quarter Ended 3/31/10 Global equity markets extended the recovery and positive streak in the first quarter. February more than wiped out January’s gains, but equity markets rebounded in March. Markets initially swooned in response to China’s reversal of its economic stimulus measures, and then were challenged by Europe’s soaring budget deficits. The best performing developed equity markets this quarter (measured in US dollars) included Finland, Denmark, Japan, Sweden, and Canada, while the biggest laggards included Europe’s so-called “PIGS”—Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain. The US dollar appreciated meaningfully versus the pound sterling and the euro this period, thus depressing dollar-denominated returns in those regions. Due to superior stock selection, the Composite outperformed the MSCI WorldIndex this quarter. The Composite’s relative outperformance can be attributed to holdings in the transportation, materials, utilities, pharmaceuticals & biotechnology, and consumer durable industry groups, while holdings in the capital goods, insurance, energy, diversified financials, and automobiles & components industry groups detracted from relative performance. The largest single contributor to return this quarter was the machinery and ship manufacturer, Hyundai Heavy (South Korea). Investors reacted positively to indications that order levels bottomed in 2009, and the Company’s announcement of a significant cost-cutting plan. Additional notable contributors to return included three insurers, Zenith National Insurance (US), Sony Financial Holdings (Japan), and MetLife (US), and jetline manufacturer, Boeing Co. (US). The largest individual detractor from performance this period was paints & industrial coatings manufacturer, Akzo Nobel (the Netherlands). The Company announced disappointing earnings for the fourth quarter of 2009 (4Q09), but we continue to hold shares in this undervalued, well-managed market leader. Additional notable detractors included telecommunication services provider, Telefonica (Spain), mail, logistics, & overnight parcel delivery company, TNT (the Netherlands), and two power generation companies, NRG Energy (US) and EON (Germany).* *The securities identified and described above do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for client accounts.
