AUM (assets under management) data includes approximately US$12.3 billion in advisory assets and may as a result differ from AUM data disclosed on Form ADV.  Further, AUM data is generally calculated based on current or recent market values.  However, certain assets (including guaranteed investment contracts) are marked at book value.  Such assets may represent a material portion of assets under management from time to time, so different asset pricing methodologies may result in different calculations of assets under management.  As of December 31, 2011, the AUM data represents assets managed and/or advised by Fischer Francis Trees & Watts, Inc., Fischer Francis Trees & Watts UK Limited, and Fischer Francis Trees & Watts Singapore Limited.
