Signature Securities Portfolios US Multi-Sector Fixed Income As of 31 January 2012 Performance Review For the month of January, the mandates had a net return (after fees) of +1.2% versus the Barclays custom benchmark return of +1.7%. The main reason for the positive absolute performance was a general corporate spread tightening trend during the month. Corporate IG was the best performing sector followed by corporate HY. The main reason for the monthly relative underperformance versus the benchmark was a slight under-performance in both these corporate sectors versus the corresponding benchmark components. During January, U.S. treasury rates decreased slightly across the curve. The 10 year treasury yield deceased from 1.88% on 12/31/11 to 1.80% on 01/31/12 and the 5 year treasury fell from 0.83% to 0.71% during this same period. Treasury rates continue to remain at historically low levels. DMC believes that our clients portfolios are well positioned to continue to provide reasonable absolute and relative returns going forward. Dolan McEniry s core competence is credit analysis and we focus on a company s ability to generate generous amounts of free cash flow over time. Currently, the average free cash flow coverage of interest expense is approximately eight to one. This is an indication of strong credit quality and a wide margin of safety. Outlook & Positioning Our clients portfolios enjoy an attractive yield premium versus the benchmark. As of month end 01/31/12, the Standard Chartered accounts had a 98 basis point yield premium and similar duration, which should allow the portfolio to continue to outperform the benchmark over time. The corporate-ig sector had the best absolute performance at +1.58% and all sectors had positive absolute performance during the month. Under-performance versus the benchmark was due to slight relative under-performance of all three sectors versus the respective portions of the benchmark. For the year ending 2011, the Standard Chartered accounts were up 7.97% gross versus 5.71% for the benchmark. The best performing securities during the month were: Verisk Analytics 4.875% 2019 and Masco 6.125% 2016. Verisk was up 4.38% and Masco was up 3.56%. The worst performing security during the month was RR Donnelley 6.125% 2017 with a return of -4.05%. Portfolio Changes During the month, we continued to add to our core positions. 4
