The performance of each fund is measured on a consistent basis against the most appropriate benchmark — a peer group of similar
funds or an index.
Equal weighted: Counts the number of funds with above median ranking (if measured against peer group) or above index performance (if
measured against an index) divided by the total number of funds. Asset size is not a factor.
Asset weighted: Sums the assets of the funds with above median ranking (if measured against peer group) or above index performance (if
measured against an index) divided by the total sum of assets in the funds. Funds with more assets will receive a greater share of the
total percentage above or below median or index.
Aggregated Allocation (Managed) Funds include funds that invest in other funds of the Threadneedle range including those funds that
invest in both equity and fixed income.
Aggregated Threadneedle data includes funds on the Threadneedle platform sub-advised by Columbia as well as advisors not affiliated with
