Concentrated All Cap Growth Composite contains fully discretionary all-cap-growth equity accounts and for comparison purposes is measured against the Russell 3000® Growth Index. The Russell 2500™ Growth Index was the primary index prior to January 1, 2006, and is currently presented as supplemental information only. The benchmark change was made because the Russell 3000® Growth Index more accurately reflects the composite strategy. The composite’s benchmark history is reflected in the Historical Blended Benchmark. This composite was previously known as Concentrated Multicap Growth, Multicap Growth, and Aggressive Growth Composite. Beginning January 1, 2002, the minimum account size for this composite is $10 million. Prior to January 1, 2002, no minimum account size was required.
