High Yield Investment Philosophy

Given the higher risk nature of the high yield asset class, we believe the management of risk and return is inseparable We seek strong and consistent risk-adjusted returns focusing on generating alpha whileis inseparable. We seek strong and consistent risk adjusted returns focusing on generating alpha while actively managing downside risk.

KEY TENETS

Credit selection is paramount in high yield investing. We devote substantial resources to developing bottom up fundamental research which typically contributes two thirds of the

developing bottom-up fundamental research which typically contributes two-thirds of the alpha generated.

A key to performing in varying market environments is to effectively assess the outlook for financial and economic conditions By adding a top down overlay approach to our

Tactical for financial and economic conditions. By adding a top down overlay approach to our process, we find that tactical management can typically contribute one-third of the alpha generated and even higher levels during extreme market conditions or “turns” in the credit cycle.

Portfolio Management

D id A constant focus on downside risk is required due to the asymmetrical risk profile of high yield. Our approach to portfolio diversification, position size management, and our strong sell discipline are distinguishing features of our downside risk management capability.

Like many high yield managers, Columbia Management invests a significant portion of its high yield portfolios in Rule 144A securities that may only be purchased by Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs). Investors who do not qualify as QIBs will not be eligible to purchase Rule 144A securities, and should consider how their investment guidelines, performance, and holdings may differ from those of QIB client accounts.

Benchmark Change

Benchmark Change

Effective December 1 2011 we changed the benchmark of the Columbia Institutional High Yield FixedEffective December 1, 2011, we changed the benchmark of the Columbia Institutional High Yield Fixed Income Composite from the JPMorgan Global High Yield Bond Index to the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index

RationaleRationale> The JPMorgan Global High Yield Bond Index was chosen in 2002 when very few constrained index

options existed> Since 2002, most of the major high yield index families began offering issuer constrained options> Recent changes to the definition of emerging markets countries within the BofA Merrill Lynch high yield

indices will result in zero exposure to emerging markets effective 1/1/2012> As a result of this change and some existing construction methodology differences between JPM and

BofA Merrill Lynch indices, we believe the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Cash Pay Constrained y , y g yIndex is a better representation of our investable universe

The JP Morgan Global High Yield Index is designed to mirror the investable universe of the JP Morgan global high yield corporate debt market, including domestic and international issues. International issues are comprised of both developed and emerging market issues. The JP Morgan Developed High Yield Index is designed to mirror the investable universe of the US$ global high yield corporate debt market, including domestic and internationalissues. International issues exclude emerging market debt. The Barclays Capital High Yield Index covers the universe of fixed rate, non-investment grade debt. Pay-in-kind (PIK) bonds, Eurobonds, and debt issues from countries designated asemerging markets (e.g., Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, etc.) are excluded, but Canadian and global bonds (SEC registered) of issuers in non-EMG countries are included. Original issuezeroes step up coupon structures and 144 As are also includedzeroes, step-up coupon structures, and 144-As are also included. The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index tracks the performance of below investment grade U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. The Bof A Merrill Lynch High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index tracks the performance of non-investment grade corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Index BB/B is a subindex of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index. It only includes those rated BB and B. The Credit Suisse High Yield Index is designed to mirror the investable universe of the US$ denominated high yield debt market. The Credit Suisse Developed High Yield Index is designed to mirror the investable universe of the US$ denominated high yield debt market, excluding emerging market debt. The Citigroup High Yield Market Capped Index is a subindex of the Citigroup High Yield Market Index. It caps the total debt of any single individual issuer at US$5 billion par amount outstanding and delays the entry of a fallen angel issuer's debt for a minimum of one month from its downgrade to high-yield status. Sources: JP Morgan, Chase, Barclays Capital, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and Credit Suisse First Boston. 1)Effective July 1, 2005, Barclays Capital indices use the middle rating of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch (dropping the highest and lowest ratings) to determine a security's index classification. Since October 1, 2003, Barclays Capital used the lower of Moody's and S&P

43

lower of Moody s and S&P. 2) Before 1/1/05, Merrill Lynch's composite rating was the average of Moody's and S&P and rounding down when necessary. For example, Baa3/BB+ would be rated a BB1 composite rating and included in the High Yield Index. As of 1/1/05, composite ratings are the average of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch. 3) CSFB Institutional High Yield Index includes split CCC/CC issues. 4) In general largest issues are considered most liquid, but there may be some variation between the CSFB and JPM indices due to this criteria. 5) Fallen angels are added to the index on the third month end following the downgrade. For example, if the downgrade occurs in December, it will be added in March's index.

Columbia Institutional High Yield Fixed Income Composite Presentation and Disclosures

Columbia Institutional High Yield Fixed Income Composite3. Portfo lios are valued, and returns are calculated and stated in U.S. do llars. Security transactions are recognized based on trade date accounting. Accruals for dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Returns are calculated net o f non-reclaimable withholding taxes on dividends, interest, and capital gains. Reclaimable withholding taxes are accrued. Additional information regarding the firm’s policies and procedures for calculating and reporting performance results and preparing compliant presentations is available upon request.

4. Internal dispersion is calculated using the equal-weighted standard deviation o f the annual gross returns o f all portfo lios that were included in the Composite for the entire year. If the composite contains five or fewer accounts, a measure of dispersion is not statistically representative and is therefore not shown.

5. The composite consists o f discretionary High Yield Fixed Income Institutional portfo lios which primarily invest in marketable high yield debt securities o f companies located within the United States. Prior to September 30, 2010, the Columbia Institutional High Yield Fixed Income composite was referred to as the RiverSource Institutional High Yield Fixed Income composite. Prior to August 1, 2005, the RiverSource Institutional High Yield Fixed Income composite was referred to as the High Yield Fixed Income Institutional composite.

6. Effective July 1, 2009, the composite includes all portfo lios managed according to its investment strategy on a discretionary basis with a minimum account value of $10 million. Prior to July 1, 2009, the minimum account value for composite inclusion was $5 million. Beginning January 1, 2004, portfo lios are included in the composite the first full month under management. For periods prior to January 1, 2004, portfo lios were included in the composite after the first full calendar quarter under management. The composite was created January 1, 2002.

7. The composite performance results presented are calculated on an asset-weighted average basis using beginning of period values. The gross of fees returns are time-weighted rates o f return net o f commissions and other transaction costs. The net o f fee returns are time-weighted rates of return net o f commissions and other transaction costs, and reflect the maximum representative fee schedule used as a starting po int for fee negotiations for separate account strategies with institutional clients. M onthly returns reflect the reinvestment o f dividends and other earnings and are geometrically linked to calculate annual returns. Each portfo lio in the composite is valued on at least a monthly basis.

8. Gross of fee performance information does not reflect the deduction o f management fees. The fo llowing statement demonstrates, with a hypothetical example, the compound effect fees have on investment return: If a US $50.0 million portfo lio 's annual rate o f return is 5% for 5 years and the annual management fee is 50 basis points, the gross to tal 5-year return would be 27.6% and the 5-year return net o f fees would be 24.5%.

9. The primary benchmark is the Bank of America M errill Lynch High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index that tracks the performance of non-investment-grade corporate bonds. Prior to December 1, 2011 the benchmark was the JP M organ Global High Yield Index. CM I believes the new benchmark is a better representation o f the Strategy and should provide a better measure of investment team abilities to manage sector, duration and yield curve positioning then the previous benchmark.

10.The secondary Index is the Credit Suisse First Boston High Yield Index is an unmanaged list o f high yield issues with a minimum issue size of US$100 million and an average maturity range of seven to ten years frequently used as a measure of market performance and is not necessarily similar to our High Yield Fixed Income Institutional portfo lios. Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings and are not covered by the report of the independent verifiers.

11. The fo llowing fee schedule represents the current representative fee schedule used as the starting po int for fee negotiations for institutional clients seeking investment management services in the designated strategy: 0.50% on the first $50 million; 0.40% on the next $50 million; negotiable on all assets over $100 million.
