Investment Philosophy and Process

Page 13: 1 q13 emtr china equity 0513

Emerging Markets Equity Income-Focused Strategies – First Quarter 2013 13

Investment Philosophy

Observations

In emerging markets, dividend-paying companies exist across a wide range of sectors and countries

Unlike in developed markets, these companies offer long-term growth potential along with current income

We believe

Emerging markets require a fundamental approach to final stock selection for best alpha generation

Sector and country rotation offers substantial opportunity and growth prospects given the inefficient nature

of emerging markets

Dividend yield is a leading indicator for good companies with attributes we seek: strong business models,

attractive growth prospects, sustainable cash flow generation, strong financial profiles and minority

shareholder friendly management

Emerging Markets Equity Income-Focused Strategies – First Quarter 2013 14

High Yield Versus Low Yield Emerging Market Stocks

Source: FactSet

Note: Data as of 12/31/2012. High Yield is defined as the group of securities in the top half of the MSCI-EM index as measured by

dividend yield. Low yield is defined as the group of securities in the bottom half of the MSCI-EM index as measured by dividend yield.

Within the emerging markets, high dividend yielding stocks tend to outperform low

dividend yielding stocks over the full market cycle.

1. Wells Capital Management (“WellsCap”) claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. WellsCap has been

independently verified for the periods from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 2012. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide

basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The Emerging Markets Equity Total Return Composite has been examined for the periods

from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.

2. WellsCap is a registered investment adviser and a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Since the firm’s creation in 1996, the firm has acquired a number of investment teams and/or assets through mergers and

acquisitions. These include assets and/or investment teams from Norwest Investment Management Inc., Sutter Advisors, LLC, Montgomery Asset Management, Benson Associates, Strong Financial Corporation, Evergreen

Investments, First International Advisors, LLC, Metropolitan West Capital Management, LLC and EverKey Global Partners. In all cases, the investment teams involved in each acquisition and merger remain autonomous teams

within WellsCap.

3. The Emerging Markets Equity Total Return Composite (“Composite”), previously named the Emerging Markets Income and Growth Equity Composite, includes all discretionary accounts managed in this style. The strategy

invests in stocks with a sustainable high dividend yield backed by strong company financials and fundamentals. Accounts also may invest a portion of its holdings in stocks with a lower yield than that of the reference benchmark and

a higher growth profile. The manager selects stocks for an account in order to maximize the potential dividend yield of the overall portfolio while maintaining a controlled level of risk. Investment results are measured versus the

MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index. Prior to January 1, 2013, the Composite was measured versus the MSCI Emerging Markets (Gross) Index. The benchmark was changed in 2013 for all periods, to reflect a benchmark with

more relevant tax withholding status of securities. The MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. The

Composite was created in February 2010. The Composite inception date is January 1, 2010.

4. Composite returns are net of transaction costs and non-reclaimable withholding taxes, if any, are expressed in US dollars, and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. A model fee is utilized for the net composite

returns, which is the maximum annual advisory fee based upon the fee schedule in effect during each respective performance period. Any changes to the fee schedule are reflected in the calculation of the net composite returns

beginning with the period in which the fee schedule is revised. Actual fees may vary depending on, among other things, the applicable fee schedule and portfolio size. WellsCap’s fee schedules are available upon request and may also

be found in Part 2 of Form ADV. The published fee schedule for this strategy is 1.10% for the first $50mm, 0.90% for the next $50mm, 0.85% for the next $100mm and 0.70% over $200mm. Additional information regarding

WellsCap’s policies for valuing accounts, calculating performance and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.

5. Internal dispersion is the equal weighted standard deviation of the annual gross returns of all accounts included in the composite for the entire year. For years where there are 5 or fewer accounts in the composite for the entire year,

dispersion is not presented as it is not a meaningful statistical calculation. The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the gross composite returns and the index returns over the preceding 36-month time

period. The notation “n/a” (not available) will appear for periods, if any, where 36 monthly returns are not available for the composite and/or the index.

6. Index returns are provided to represent the investment environment existing during the time periods shown and are not covered by the report of independent verifiers..The MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index consists of the

following 21 emerging market country indices: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan,

Thailand, and Turkey. For comparison purposes, the index is fully invested, which includes the reinvestment of income. The returns for the index do not include any transaction costs, management fees or other costs..
