1) The value change calculation is adjusted for investments and distributions during the period, i.e. it is the percentage change between the starting value plus any added investment during the period and the ending value plus any proceeds from divestments or dividends received during the period

2) Due to the ongoing liquidation of East Capital Power Utilities Fund and East European Debt Finance, these holdings are no longer separately reported but included in short-term investments as the remaining assets are limited.

Note that certain numerical information may not sum due to rounding
