Investment Composition (continued):

The geographical allocation of TFG's investments was determined to be 51.6% North America, 40.8% Europe, 5.0% Asia and 2.7% Latin America at month-end. Investments in hedge funds, private equity funds and other investment vehicles are based on the jurisdiction of the underlying investments. Where such underlying investments span more than one geographic region the amounts are allocated based on the percentage of long market value in each jurisdiction relative to the aggregate long market value of the fund or vehicle, as the case may be. Interests in asset management businesses are included in this calculation and are generally based on the jurisdiction in which the business resides. For investments in asset management businesses with offices that span multiple geographic areas, the geographic allocation is based upon an estimate of resources employed between such offices.
