The performance results displayed represent the composite performance for all discretionary client accounts in a Portfolio. The performance results reflect the deduction of advisory fees, brokerage commissions, and expenses and the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions made to client accounts. Please refer to Part II of ICON’s Form ADV for ICON’s current management fee structure. For periods prior to 2000, performance represents performance of all discretionary accounts invested before the beginning of a quarter. Beginning with the first quarter of 2000, performance represents performance of all discretionary accounts invested before the beginning of a month. For accounts opened prior to 11/15/96, an account may have incurred a mutual fund sales load and/or an account origination commission which are deducted from beginning quarter numbers for the calculation of any cumulative, trailing year(s) and/or multi-year performance representations. Effective 11/15/96, the use of front-end loaded mutual funds and the assessment of an origination commission were discontinued.

The unmanaged Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Composite 1500 Index is a broad-based, capitalization-weighted index comprising 500 Large-cap, 400 Mid-cap, and 600 Small-cap U.S. companies. The inception date of the S&P 1500 Index was 1/1/95. For time periods prior to that date, performance results are compared to the S&P 500 Index, which is a market value weighted index of Large-Cap common stocks considered representative of the broad market. The unmanaged Lehman Brothers (LB) U.S. Universal Index represents the union of the U.S. Aggregate Index, the U.S. High-Yield Corporate Index, the 144A Index, the Eurodollar Index, the Emerging Markets Index, the non-ERISA portion of the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) Index and the CMBS High-Yield Index. All securities in this market-value weighted index have at least one year remaining to maturity and meet certain minimum issue size criteria. Total returns for the unmanaged indexes include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions but do not reflect deductions for commissions, management fees, and expenses. The index is not covered by the report of independent accountants. As of April 2004, the bond benchmark was changed from the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Universal Index to better reflect the Portfolio's investable universe. This change was applied retroactively. The Portfolio’s composition may differ significantly from the indexes. Individuals cannot invest directly in an index.
