* As of December 31, 2009, the Thomas White International Fund ranked 44 out of 130 funds, 2 out of 71 funds, and 9 out of 45 funds in Lipper International Multi-Cap Value Funds category for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods respectively.
The awards program highlights funds that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance, relative to peers. The awards are awarded to funds in 21 countries in Asia, Europe and the United States. Rankings do not take sales charges into account and are based on total return, net of expenses and includes reinvested dividends. Lipper scores for Consistent Return reflect funds' historical risk-adjusted returns, measured in local currency, relative to peers. Funds registered for sale in a given country are selected and then scores for Consistent Return are computed for all Lipper classifications with five or more distinct portfolios. These calculations span equity, mixed asset and bond funds. A fund must have had at least 36 months of performance history as of the end of the evaluation year.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Thomas White International Fund before investing.
