XI. Statistical Information
Edge Asset Management has neither calculated nor verified the statistical information provided. Following are definition of presented terms.

Average Effective Duration – A time measure of a bond's interest-rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond's cash flows accrue to the bondholder. Time periods are weighted by multiplying by the present value of its cash flow divided by the bond's price. (A bond's cash flows consist of coupon payments and repayment of capital).

Average Effective Maturity – Average effective maturity is a weighted average of all the effective maturities of the bonds in a portfolio.

Average Market Cap – The overall "size" of a stock investment option's portfolio. It is the geometric mean of the market capitalization for all of the stocks it owns and is calculated by raising the market capitalization of each stock to a power equal to that stock's stake in the portfolio. The resulting numbers are multiplied together to produce the geometric mean of the market caps of the stocks in the portfolio, which is reported as average market capitalization.

Beta (3 year) – A quantitative measure of the Portfolio’s historical volatility relative to the S&P 500 Index. Results are calculated using three-month rolling returns for a three-year period.

Credit Analysis – Shows the percentage of fixed-income securities that fall within each credit-quality rating as assigned by Standard & Poor's or Moody's, and depicts the quality of bonds in the portfolio.

Price/Book Ratio – The weighted average of the price/book ratios of all the stocks in an investment option's portfolio. The P/B ratio of a company is calculated by dividing the market price of its stock by the company's per-share book value. Stocks with negative book values are excluded from this calculation.

Price/Earnings Ratio – The weighted average of the price/earnings ratios of the stocks in an investment option's portfolio. The P/E ratio of a stock is calculated by dividing the current price of the stock by its trailing 12 months' earnings per share.

Rating Breakdown – Rating breakdown shows the percentage of fixed income funds that fall within each credit quality rating as assigned by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s, and depicts the quality of bonds in the portfolio.

Return on Equity – The amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholder equity. Return on equity measures a corporation’s profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested.

Top 10 Holdings – The ten holdings in the portfolio that have the greatest allocation of the portfolio's assets.

Turnover Ratio % – Measure of the investment option’s trading activity which is computed by taking the lesser of purchases or sales (excluding all securities with maturities of less than one year) and dividing by average monthly net assets. The resulting percentage loosely represents the percentage of the portfolio’s holdings that have changed over the past year.

Yield to Worst – the lowest potential yield that can be received on a bond without the issuer actually defaulting. Calculated by making worst-case scenario assumptions on the issue by calculating the returns that would be received if provisions, including prepayment, call or sinking fund, are used by the issuer.
