FIRM OVERVIEW

STRATEGY

ING U.S. Investment Management at a Glance ING U.S. Investment Management (“ING U.S. IM”)) is a leading asset management firm with IM $179 billion (as of 9/30/12) of assets under management for both affiliated and external institutions as well as individual investors. ING U.S. IM provides clients with access to domestic, regional and global investment solutions across asset classes and investment styles.

Summary ING is a pioneer in emerging market debt (EMD) investing, which is a relatively new and evolving asset class, often characterized by bouts of extreme volatility. Partly as a result, investors have yet to fully appreciate the improving economic fundamentals of certain key low and middle-income developing countries. Supported by our global presence, major commitment of resources, proven multi-site organization, solid investment process and stable investment team, ING offers five distinct EMD strategies. Using our structured, globally comparable investment approach, we believe we can identify market inefficiencies and improving economic fundamentals and provide investors with superior nominal and risk-adjusted returns.

Mission ING U.S. Investment Management’s mission is to find unrecognized value ahead of consensus by seeking original insights on markets and companies. Toward that end, we apply our proprietary research and analytics, benchmark awareness and risk management to serve client needs within the guidelines and objectives of each assignment.

Portfolio Managers Sylvain de Ruijter Acting Head on Emerging Markets Debt Years of experience: 23 Years with ING: 12 Jaco Rouw Senior Portfolio Manager, Emerging Markets Debt Years of experience: 19 Years with ING: 15 Supported pp byy more than 25 dedicated EMD professionals with over 13 years of experience For more information please contact your relationship manager or go to www.inginvestment.com

Objective The overall objective for each of the EMD sub-asset class strategies is to obtain an information ratio of at least 0.50, 0 50 typically on a rolling three year basis relative to the appropriate JPMorgan Emerging Markets benchmark. The HC Sovereign strategy is benchmarked to the Emerging Market Bond Index Global Diversified Index (EMBI GD) with an excess return target of 1.0% – 2.0% annually, and the HC Corporate strategy is benchmarked to the Corporate Emerging Market Bond Index (CEMBI) with an excess return target of 1.0% – 2.0%. The tracking error for the HC Sovereign strategy is 2.0% – 6.0% and 2.0% – 4.0% for the HC Corporate strategy. The LC Money Market strategy is benchmarked to the ELMI Plus Index (ELMI+), and the LC Bond strategy is benchmarked to the Global Bond Index Emerging Market Global Diversified (GBI-EM GD). For both strategies, the current excess return target for is 1.0% – 2.0% annually and the tracking error is 2.0% 2 0% – 5.0%. 5 0% The EMD Opportunities strategy integrates all four EMD sub-asset classes into one strategy and is benchmarked to a weighted average of the component benchmarks. The current excess return target is 1.5% – 3.5% annually with tracking error of 3.0% – 7.0%. Asset Class EMD Hard Currency

The Composite performance information represents the investment results of a group of fully discretionary accounts managed with the investment objective of outperforming the benchmark. Information is subject to change at any time. Gross returns are presented after all transaction costs, but before management fees. Returns include the reinvestment of income. Net performance is shown after the deduction of a model management fee equal to the highest fee charged. General Risk(s): All investments in bonds are subject to market risks. Bonds have fixed principal and return if held to maturity, but may fluctuate in the interim. Generally, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Bonds with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates.
