1 Investment Performance Analysis Quarter Ended September 30, 2008 Prepared By Bret van Roden 111 SW Naito Parkway Portland, OR f:

2 Capital Markets Review Capital Markets Review Third Quarter Market Environment In a dramatic flight to quality and repricing of global investment risk, the credit and liquidity crisis gripped all markets during the third quarter and sent volatility skyward. In the quarter's final month, markets witnessed the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history and unprecedented market intervention by the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taken over by the government, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection, the government took control of AIG in exchange for an $85 billion loan, Merrill Lynch and Wachovia were sold, and Washington Mutual was seized by federal regulators. Lehman's bankruptcy, on September 15, provided the catalyst for a late-quarter intensification of the credit crisis, as lending between banks ground to a halt and corporate borrowing costs soared (for those corporations that could obtain credit at all). By the time a hasty effort on the part of U.S. regulators to secure passage of a rescue plan ultimately failed on September 29, the Dow suffered its largest point decline in history, before a 5% rebound on the quarter's last trading day. Concerns for global demand sent commodity prices, particularly oil (which declined 28%), downward. Third Quarter Equities Markets around the world saw significant declines in the third quarter, based on a combination of a flight to quality given the credit and liquidity crisis, and on greater concerns of an economic slowdown. Commodity-rich and export-dependent emerging markets equities led the decline, returning -27%, in parity with the decline in commodity prices. International small-cap equities declined by 24%, and international developed markets fell by 21%. Within the domestic equity market, small-cap value securities provided the sole source of positive returns as every other market segment declined, led downward by large-cap growth. The economic sectors that had shown the most resiliency during the first half of the year saw the greatest declines in the third quarter, as energy and materials declined by 25% and 22%, respectively. Financial stocks, despite significant volatility, ended the quarter marginally positive, as the smaller and healthier banks posted gains. Consumer staples, long considered a recession hedge, posted the domestic market's greatest gains at 5%. Trailing-Period Performance 1 Quarter Third Quarter Fixed Income In the quarter's flight to quality, every broad segment of the fixed income market except for short-term Treasury bills, fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, and agency securities posted negative returns. Investors' preference for the very safest securities, shortterm Treasuries, caused their prices to rise to such a level that, several times toward the end of the quarter, their yields turned negative -- 1 Year indicating that investors were willing to accept a small, known loss as the price of avoiding all uncertainty. At the same time, yields for any fixed income security that included default, interest-rate, or any other risk soared as their prices collapsed. Longer-term Treasury 1 securities saw a selloff, partially because of fears that the $700 billion in new debt expected to be issued by a government rescue plan 5.00 would cause their prices to fall. 1 Month Ending Jul Month Ending Aug Month 1 Quarter S&P R MSCI EAFE (Gross) MSCI EAFE SC (Gross) N/A MSCI EM (Gross) LB Aggregate ML 3 Mo T-Bill NCREIF Property N/A N/A N/A HFN FOF Multi-Strat DJ/AIG Commodity Performance is annualized for periods greater than one year.

66 Glossary Statistics Definitions Alpha - A measure of the difference between a portfolio's actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta. It is a measure of the portfolio's historical performance not explained by movements of the market or a portfolio's non-systematic return. Alpha Ratio - A measure of a portfolio's non-systematic return per unit of downside risk. It is measured by dividing the alpha of a portfolio by the downside risk. The nonsystematic return is a measure of a portfolio's historical performance not explained by movements of the market. Average Quality - Bond quality ratings are reported using the investment managers' and the index providers' preferred rating agency. There are two primary rating agencies in the U.S. Moody's assigns ratings on a system that employs up to four symbols (consisting of letters and numbers) such as, Aaa, Aa2, etc., with Aaa being the highest or safest rating. Standard & Poor's (S&P) employs a system that uses + and - along with letters such as AAA, AA+, etc. The two rating agencies' systems are summarized below: S&P Moody's Explanation Higher Credit Quality - Investment Grade AAA Aaa Prime grade, highest safety AA+ Aa1 High credit quality AA Aa2 AA- Aa3 A+ A1 Upper-medium credit quality A A2 A- A3 BBB+ Baa1 Lower-medium credit quality BBB Baa2 BBB- Baa3 Lower Credit Quality - Speculative Grade BB+ Ba1 Speculative - low quality BB Ba2 BB- Ba3 B B1 B2 B3 Highly speculative Extremely Low Credit Quality - High Speculative or in Default CCC+ Caa Very high risk, poor quality CCC CC Ca May be in default soon C C Very speculative CI D For income bonds - interest not being paid Securities already in default Beta - A measure of the sensitivity of a portfolio to the movements in the market. It is a measure of a portfolio's non-diversifiable or systematic risk. Page 65

67 Glossary Buy and Hold Attribution - At the beginning of the time period under analysis, the manager and benchmark portfolios are broken down into segments (i.e., styles, sectors, countries, and regions) based on the desired type of attribution. One assumes zero turn-over to the manager and benchmark portfolios throughout the period and calculates the segment returns ("buy and hold returns") to arrive at performance attribution. Country, region, sector, and style allocations are as of the date one quarter prior to the reporting date, and the returns shown are for those segments throughout the quarter reported. The following is the methodology for segment classification: Country/Region - Stocks will be classified by their domicile country/region, as defined by Worldscope data. Sector - Stocks will be classified by their primary sector, as defined by Worldscope data. Style - Stocks will be classified into the following style boxes: large/mid/small vs. growth/neutral/value. Stocks will be classified along large/mid/small categories at the time of the Frank Russell index rebalancing, using the index market cap boundaries as cutoff points. Stocks will be classified along growth/neutral/value categories at the time of the Frank Russell index rebalancing, using the price/book ratio as supplied by Worldscope. Stocks in the Russell 3000 Index portfolio will be sorted by price/book ratio; names with the highest price/book ratio that make up 1/3 of the total market capitalization will be assigned to the growth category, names that make up the subsequent 1/3 of the total market capitalization will be assigned to the neutral category, while the balance of the names will be assigned to the value category. Consistency - The percentage of quarters that a product achieved a rate of return higher than that of its benchmark. The higher the consistency figure, the more value a manager has contributed to the product's performance. Convexity - A measure of the shape of the curve that describes the relationship between bond prices and bond yields. Coupon Rate - The percentage rate of interest paid on a bond or fixed income security; it is typically paid twice per year. Current Yield - The annual income of a security divided by the security's current price. Down Market Capture - Down market by definition is negative benchmark return and down market capture represents the ratio in % terms of the average portfolios return over the benchmark during the down market period. The lower the value of the down market capture the better the product's performance. Downside Risk - A measure similar to standard deviation, but focuses only on the negative movements of the return series. It is calculated by taking the standard deviation of the negative quarterly set of returns. The higher the factor, the riskier the product. Earnings Per Share - It is backward looking, calculated using the one year current EPS divided by the one year EPS five years ago. Excess Return vs. Market - Average of the monthly arithmetic difference between the manager's return and the benchmark return over a specified time period, shown on an annualized basis. Excess Return vs. Risk Free - Average of the monthly arithmetic difference between the manager's return and the risk-free return over a specified time period, shown on an annualized basis. Excess Risk - A measure of the standard deviation of a portfolio's performance relative to the risk free return. Gain/Loss - The net increase or decrease in the market value of a portfolio excluding its Net Cash Flow for a given period. Page 66

68 Glossary Information Ratio - Measured by dividing the active rate of return by the tracking error. The higher the information ratio, the more value-added contribution by the manager. Modified Duration - The approximate percentage change in a bond's price for a 100 basis point change in yield. Net Cash Flow - The sum, in dollars, of a portfolio's contributions and withdrawals. This includes all management fees and expenses only when performance shown is gross of fees. Peer Groups - RVK utilizes the Mellon Analytical Solutions Trust Universe and the RogersCasey Manager Universe for peer comparison and rankings. The Mellon Analytical Solutions Trust Universe, which is used for comparison of Total Fund composite results, utilizes actual client returns compiled from consultant and custodial data. The RogersCasey Manager Universe database includes performance and other quantitative data for over 1,400 investment management firms, over 17,000 investment products, including separate accounts, commingled funds, and mutual funds, and 160 standard peer groups. Peer Group Definitions SA = Separately Managed Fund CF = Commingled Fund MF = Mutual Fund Peer Group Percentile Rankings Percentile rank compares an individual fund's performance with those of other funds within a defined peer group of managers possessing a similar investment style. Percentile rank identifies the percentage of a fund's peer group that has a higher return (or other comparative measurement) than the fund being ranked. Conversely, 100 minus the individual fund's ranking will identify the percentage of funds within the peer group that have a lower return than the fund being ranked. 1 - Highest Statistical Value Lowest Statistical Value Portfolio Duration - The weighted average duration of all the bonds in a given portfolio, weighted by their dollar values. Region Attribution - Calculated using the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) region standards. Return - Compounded rate of return for the period. %Return - The time-weighted rate of return of a portfolio for a given period. R-Squared - The percentage of a portfolio's performance explained by the behavior of the appropriate benchmark. High R-Squared means a higher correlation of the portfolio's performance to the appropriate benchmark. Sector Attribution - Calculated using the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB). Page 67

69 Glossary Sharpe Ratio - Represents the excess rate of return over the risk-free return, divided by the standard deviation of the excess return. The result is the absolute rate of return per unit of risk. The higher the value, the better the product's historical risk-adjusted performance. Simple Alpha - The difference between the manager's return and the benchmark's return. Spread Duration - A measure of the price sensitivity of a bond to a 100 basis-point movement of the bond's spread relative to Treasuries. Standard Deviation - A statistical measure of the range of a portfolio's performance. The variability of a return around its average return over a specified time period. Tracking Error - A measure of the standard deviation of a portfolio's performance relative to the performance of an appropriate market benchmark. Treynor Ratio - Similar to Sharpe ratio, but focuses on beta rather than excess risk (standard deviation). Treynor ratio represents the excess rate of return over the risk-free rate divided by the beta. The result is the absolute rate of return per unit of risk. The higher the value, the better the product's historical risk-adjusted performance. Unit Value - The dollar value of a portfolio, assuming an initial nominal investment of $100, growing at the compounded rate of %Return for a given period. Up Market Capture - Up market by definition is positive benchmark return and up market capture represents the ratio in % terms of the average portfolios return over the benchmark during the up market period. The higher the value of the up market capture the better the product's performance. Yield to Maturity - The rate of return achieved on a bond or other fixed income security assuming the security is bought and held to maturity and that the coupon interest paid over the life of the bond will be reinvested at the same rate of return. Yield to Worst - The bond yield calculated by using the worst possible yield taking into consideration all call, put, and optional sink dates. Page 68
