The groups indicated above represent exposures determined pursuant to


proprietary methodologies and are subject to change over time.
Std. Deviation is a measure of the volatility of a portfolios return. Sharpe Ratio is
the return over the risk free rate per unit of risk. Drawdown is the largest
negative cumulative portfolio return from peak to trough. Risk profile data is net.
3 The credit ratings above may encompass emerging debt, developed rates, and
assetbacked exposure. Ratings for the emerging debt and developed rates
portions of the portfolio are derived by taking the Standard and Poors country
ratings and applying these ratings to the country exposures of the portfolio. For
the assetbacked portion of the portfolio, credit ratings are derived by using the
lowest rating among rating agencies at the issue level. Final credit ratings are
expressed based upon Standard and Poors ratings scale. Standard & Poors rates
securities from AAA (highest quality) to C (lowest quality), and D to indicate
securities in default; some securities are not rated (NR). BB and below are
considered below investment grade securities.
The above information is based on a representative account in the Strategy
selected because it has the fewest restrictions and best represents the
implementation of the Strategy.

The groups indicated above represent exposures determined pursuant to


proprietary methodologies and are subject to change over time.
Alpha is a measure of riskadjusted return; Beta is a measure of a portfolios
sensitivity to the market; R2 is a measure of how well a portfolio tracks the
market; Sharpe Ratio is the return over the risk free rate per unit of risk; Std.
Deviation is a measure of the volatility of a portfolio. Risk profile data is net.
3 The credit ratings above may encompass emerging debt, developed rates, and
assetbacked exposure. Ratings for the emerging debt and developed rates
portions of the portfolio are derived by taking the Standard and Poors country
ratings and applying these ratings to the country exposures of the portfolio. For
the assetbacked portion of the portfolio, credit ratings are derived by using the
lowest rating among rating agencies at the issue level. Final credit ratings are
expressed based upon Standard and Poors ratings scale. Standard & Poors rates
securities from AAA (highest quality) to C (lowest quality), and D to indicate
securities in default; some securities are not rated (NR). BB and below are
considered below investment grade securities.
The above information is based on a representative account in the Strategy
selected because it has the fewest restrictions and best represents the
implementation of the Strategy.

GMOGlobalFocusedEquityStrategy
March31,2015
QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The Global Focused Equity Strategy climbed 2.7% net of fees for the quarter. The Strategys reference benchmark, MSCI All Country World index rose
2.3%.

Positive contributions came from holdings in Toll Holdings in Australia, Peugeot in France, and Anthem and Capital Product Partners in the United
States. Australian logistics company Toll received a buyout offer from Japan Post at a 50% premium to its previous value, vindicating our long-held
position in the company. Toll was slowly restructuring while waiting for a cyclical upswing in business volumes. In addition to investors becoming
excited about European recovery, positive auto data, especially out of Spain, propelled the performance of auto makers. This was particularly true for
Peugeot, which is geared to Europe. Anthem continues to perform well as regulatory uncertainty around managed care companies subsides, as well as
strong demand for their services, and the companys attractive capital return and reasonable valuation. Capital Product Partners exposure to
improving volume and pricing power in the product tanker markets as well as its attractive 10% dividend yield helped the name outperform.

Negative contribution came from National Oilwell Varco (NOV) in the United Sates, Bluescope Steel in Australia, and Gran Tierra Energy in Canada.
The continued uncertainty facing the oil markets negatively impacted our shares in NOV, an oil services firm, and Bluescope fell with the declining
price of steel. Additionally, Gran Tierra, a Canadian based exploration and production company with Latin American assets, sold off on negative well
results that prompted a write-down in 2P reserves (proven reserves + probable reserves).

QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The International Active EAFE Strategy gained 5.7% net of fees in the first quarter; the Strategy was 0.8 percentage points ahead of the MSCI EAFE
index, which rose 4.9%.

Country and currency allocation was ahead of the benchmark. Our positioning in Europe added returns, particularly because we were less exposed to
the United Kingdom than the benchmark. In addition, while our weight in Europe is slightly lower than that of the benchmark, we have an overweight
position in the eurozone. In January we hedged the account such that the exposure of the portfolio to the euro was closer to that of the benchmark, and
the hedge against the euro was positive in the quarter.

Stock selection also beat the benchmark in the first quarter. Holdings in Europe, Australia, and Hong Kong outperformed.

In Europe, performance was led by Peugeot, Banca Popolare di Milano, and Deutsche Telekom. In addition to investors becoming excited about
European recovery, positive auto data, especially out of Spain, propelled the performance of auto makers. This was particularly true for Peugeot, which
is geared to Europe. Italian cooperative banks, including Milano, are now required to change their governance structure, which will likely trigger
consolidation. The potential benefit to Banca Popolare di Milano drove up the share price. European telecom companies did well, especially Deutsche
Telekom. There are several reasons we like these names, among them that that the consolidation of the industry within markets has started, and their
regulatory environment has finally become a tailwind after many years of holding them back. These companies stand to benefit from a market repair
scenario, where a data consumption boom drives a rebound in the ARPU.

Australian logistics company Toll received a buyout offer from Japan Post at a 50% premium to its previous value, vindicating our long-held position in
the company. In Hong Kong, Cheung Kong Holdings, historically a holding company for the operating assets of famed investor Li Ka Shing,
announced a reorganization that will consolidate all of the property assets into one listed company, and all non-property into a separate listing. This
could mean a narrowing of the large discount to NAV at which the stock has traditionally traded.

On the negative side, stock selection in Japan hurt returns. Hitachi Ltd. fell on news that it would buy Italian company Finmeccanica's rail and signal
assets. While the market had anticipated the transaction, the price was a negative surprise.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not predictive of future performance. Returns are shown after the deduction of management fees, transaction
costs and other expenses, but before custody charges, withholding taxes, and other indirect expenses. The returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The International Active Foreign Small Companies Strategy outperformed the S&P Developed ex-U.S. Small Cap index by 2.1 percentage points in the
first quarter, gaining 6.5% net of fees while the benchmark rose 4.4%.

Country and currency allocation was ahead of the benchmark. Our positioning in Europe added returns, particularly because we were more exposed to
Italy than the benchmark. Less exposure in Canada also helped performance. In addition, while our weight in Europe is slightly higher than that of
benchmark, we have a larger overweight position in the eurozone. In January we hedged the Strategy such that the exposure of the portfolio to the euro
was closer to that of the benchmark, and the hedge against the euro contributed positively in the quarter.

Stock selection also beat the benchmark in the first quarter. Holdings in Europe, Japan, and Australia outperformed. In Europe, performance was led
by Peugeot and Banca Popolare di Milano. In addition to investors becoming excited about European recovery, positive auto data, especially out of
Spain, propelled the performance of auto makers. This was particularly true for Peugeot, which is geared to Europe. Italian cooperative banks,
including Milano, are now required to change their governance structure, which will likely trigger consolidation. The potential benefit to Banca
Popolare di Milano drove up the share price. In Japan, Aoyama Trading used its stockpile of cash to initiate a share repurchase. Australian logistics
company Toll outperformed because it received a buyout offer from Japan Post at a 50% premium to its previous value, vindicating our long-held
position in the company.

On the negative side, stock selection in Canada hurt returns. Capstone Mining fell as copper prices have been weak due to faltering demand,
particularly from emerging markets. Additionally, Gran Tierra Energy, a Canadian based exploration and production company with Latin American
assets, sold off on negative well results that prompted a write-down in 2P reserves (proven reserves + probable reserves).

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not predictive of future performance. Returns are shown after the deduction of management fees, transaction
costs and other expenses, but before custody charges, withholding taxes, and other indirect expenses. The returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The Emerging Markets Strategy gained 0.2% net of fees in the first quarter, underperforming the 2.2% rise in the S&P/IFCI Composite by 1.9%. Overall,
country-sector allocation detracted 1.2% and stock selection lost 0.6%.

Emerging market equities began the quarter celebrating the 1.1 trillion stimulus program unveiled by the European Central Bank (ECB). Positives
including the continued growth in the U.S., a truce in Ukraine, and an improving outlook for China were countered by negative developments such as a
major corruption scandal in Brazil and a potential debt crisis in Greece. Country returns varied over the quarter, ranging from an 18.6% jump in Russia
to a 29.3% drop in Greece. Sector returns were more clustered, varying from an 8.5% rise in IT to a fall of 3.2% for Utilities.

Brazilian stocks have been pressured by stagnant growth, above-target inflation, high budget deficits, and weakness in iron ore prices, a key export. In
addition, officials at state-owned Petrobras have been accused of corruption in their dealings with construction companies. The government has
ambitious plans to improve the fiscal and monetary picture but a rapidly declining approval rating is hampering the administrations ability to
implement its measures. Our overweights in Brazil sectors such as Utilities, Materials, and Telecommunications detracted from performance.

Investor sentiment in China jumped with a report that showed the unexpected expansion of manufacturing. Investors are also speculating on a
continuation of monetary easing. In addition, there has been a surge of retail involvement in the equity markets as more than 10 million stock accounts
have been opened since the start of December, equivalent to the total number for all of 2012 and 2013 combined. Our underweight in China IT and
Consumer Discretionary hurt performance.

The Russian stock market, the top stock market for the quarter, was boosted by stability in the price of crude oil, the countrys biggest export earner.
Investor sentiment was also lifted by a truce in Ukraine. Our overweight in Russia Energy and Financials helped performance.

Stocks in Greece dropped on continuing worries over the tussle between Greece and its creditors to recraft its bailout package. The government had
obtained an extension by backing away from election pledges to ease budget cuts and restructure debt. However, it has yet to produce a revised
economic plan that satisfies creditors. Our underweight in Greece Financials added to performance.

Market sentiment in Turkey has suffered from a public hectoring of the central bank by the political leadership. Stocks also lost ground over rising
political tensions and a deteriorating macroeconomic outlook. A plan to replace the parliamentary system with a presidential system is creating rifts
within the ruling party. The government suggested that Turkey could miss its 4% growth target for 2015. Our overweight in Turkey Financials
negatively impacted performance.

Stock selection detracted from performance. Segments such as Russia Energy and Turkey Materials had particularly strong selection while areas such as
Korea Consumer Discretionary and India Financials saw especially weak selection.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not predictive of future performance. Returns are shown after the deduction of management fees, transaction

March31,2015
QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The Emerging Domestic Opportunities Strategy invests in companies whose prospects are linked to the internal growth of the world's non-developed
markets. The Strategy uses fundamental analysis within a structured approach to select countries, sectors, and stocks that we believe are the most likely
to benefit from the rising demand for goods and services in emerging markets.

Emerging market equities began the quarter celebrating the 1.1 trillion stimulus program unveiled by the European Central Bank (ECB). Positives
including the continued growth in the U.S., a truce in Ukraine, and an improving outlook for China were countered by negative developments such as a
major corruption scandal in Brazil and a potential debt crisis in Greece. Country returns varied over the quarter, ranging from an 18.6% jump in Russia
to a 29.3% drop in Greece. Domestic demand driven sector returns were more clustered, varying from a 6.7% rise in Health Care to a fall of 3.2% for
Utilities.

The Emerging Domestic Opportunities Strategy rose 3.7% net of fees in the first quarter.

Brazilian stocks have been pressured by stagnant growth, above-target inflation, high budget deficits, and weakness in iron ore prices, a key export. In
addition, officials at state-owned Petrobras have been accused of corruption in their dealings with construction companies. The government has
ambitious plans to improve the fiscal and monetary picture but a rapidly declining approval rate is hampering the administrations ability to implement
its measures. Our investments in Brazil Financials and Industrials negatively impacted performance.

Investor sentiment in China jumped with a report that showed the unexpected expansion of manufacturing. Investors are also speculating on a
continuation of monetary easing. In addition, there has been a surge of retail involvement in the equity markets as more than 10 million stock accounts
have been opened since the start of December, equivalent to the total number for all of 2012 and 2013 combined. Our positions in China Consumer
Discretionary added to performance.

Stocks in India rallied over the quarter, especially at the onset (India was the best market performer in January). The central bank lowered its main
interest rate in January, adding to the effect of the ECB stimulus. The IMF declared that India would be the worlds fastest growing major economy
through 2017. Later in the quarter, the stock market dropped after Prime Minster Modis party suffered a defeat in local elections. The results were seen
as portending stronger opposition to Modis economic reforms. Our exposure to Indian sectors such as Health Care, Industrials, Consumer Staples, and
Financials boosted performance.

Philippines has benefited from a goldilocks scenario of fast economic growth but controlled inflation. The central bank held interest rates steady. It
forecast that the economy might grow as much as 8% in 2015, with lower than expected inflation on the back of robust domestic demand and higher
public spending. Our holdings in Philippine Financials and Consumer Staples contributed to performance.

The Russian stock market, the top stock market for the quarter, was boosted by stability in the price of crude oil, the countrys biggest export earner.
Investor sentiment was also lifted by a truce in Ukraine. Our exposure to Russia Consumer Staples helped performance.

Market sentiment in Turkey has suffered from a public hectoring of the central bank by the political leadership. Stocks also lost ground over rising
political tensions and a deteriorating macroeconomic outlook. A plan to replace the parliamentary system with a presidential system is creating rifts
within the ruling party. The government suggested that Turkey could miss its 4% growth target for 2015. Our positions in Turkey Financials hurt
performance.

March31,2015
QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The Global Bond Strategy returned -2.3% net of fees during the first quarter, underperforming the J.P. Morgan GBI Global index return of -1.8% by
0.5%. The U.S. dollars advance versus almost all developed market currencies accounted for all of the negative index returns, as the 20-bp fall in the
yield of the J.P. Morgan GBI Global index resulted in a +2.1% return in the index when measured in local currency terms.

The global bond rally of 2014 continued into 2015, accelerating in March. With the exception of the Japanese bond market (-0.3%), government
markets rose during the quarter: in 10-year-equivalent, interest-rate swap terms, gains were the highest in Canada, +4.6%, and the lowest in the U.K.,
+2.5%. In the eurozone (+3.0%), rates continued their descent into historic lows (near zero!) as the European Central Bank began its unconventional
19-month, 1.1 trillion quantitative easing program in early March in an attempt to boost economic recovery while staving off deflation. In the U.K.,
gilts posted a fifth consecutive quarter of gains as falling inflation and speculation that the Bank of England would not be raising rates in the near future
put downward pressure on yields. Investors seeking higher bond returns were also attracted to the relative yield premium offered by U.K. gilts.

Global yield curves (measured by the difference between 10-year and 2-year swap rates) were mixed during the quarter; U.S., eurozone, and U.K. curves
flattened while the rest steepened.

The U.S. dollar continued its advance versus most developed currencies in Q1, despite dovish comments from the Fed in March. While officials
removed patience from the FOMC statement, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen acknowledged during her March 18 press conference that the Fed is
in no rush to raise rates. The euro weakened to a 12-year low versus the dollar, plunging by 11.2% during the quarter as the ECBs QE program and
uncertainly in Greece drove down the euro. In an effort to combat trailing inflation, Swedens Riksbank unexpectedly cut its repo rate by 0.15% to
-0.25%, an unprecedented move into negative territory, and expanded its QE program by 30 billion kronor; the krona plunged during the quarter, by
-9.2%. The 25-bp cut by Australias central bank reduced the currencys relative yield advantage, dragging the Australian dollar down by 6.6%. During
the quarter, U.K. sterling fell 4.8% versus the U.S. dollar, and, among emerging currencies, Brazilian real fell by 17.1%.

In addition to cutting its main rate by 50 bps to -0.75% in January, the Swiss National Bank shocked markets by announcing the end of its currencys
cap against the euro, stating that the franc is no longer overvalued. While the franc strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar by 8.0% in January, it
weakened in February and March, ending the quarter up only 2.3%.

Developed markets interest-rate positioning was responsible for losses during the quarter. Gains from developed markets currency selection partly
offset losses, followed by a small contribution provided by exposure to asset-backed securities held indirectly through GMO Debt Opportunities (DOF)
and GMO World Opportunity Overlay (WOOF).

Interest-rate strategies suffered during the quarter. A very strong bull flattening of the eurozone rates curve put immense pressure on the strategys
long-dated forward positions in March. The collapse in long-dated rates in the eurozone, and to a much lesser extent in the U.K., drove poor interestrate strategy performance during the quarter. We believe these long rates in the eurozone are nowhere close to reasonable levels. Coming into the
month of March, we had assumed there was a floor for nominal rates, particularly at the long end of the curve. With the move lower during the month,
it appears that the floor is no longer in place and that the zero-bound or lower is a possibility even at longer-dated parts of the curve. We have adjusted
our positioning within eurozone rates to withstand a further bull flattening of the curve. We have done this by converting short positions in the
15Y15Y to steepener positions, which would benefit from rates rising at the longer end of the curve. A steepener also requires increasing duration at the
shorter end of the curve. The overall effect is to lower the volatility of the portfolio but maintain a position that would benefit from higher rates at the
long end of the curve. We continue to have a high degree of confidence in these positions and are acting accordingly to ensure that the portfolio is
positioned to withstand further extreme market moves. Our thesis remains that, in time, long-dated rates will likely rise, but that view is now expressed
in relation to shorter-dated rates. In other interest-rates, overweight duration positions in Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico added value, while the
overweight duration position in Brazil detracted.

The currency strategy partly offset losses during the quarter. An underweight position in euros drove currency gains, followed by small contributions
from underweight positions in Swedish krona and Swiss francs. An overweight position in Brazilian real detracted.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not predictive of future performance. Returns are shown after the deduction of management fees, transaction
costs and other expenses, but before custody charges, withholding taxes, and other indirect expenses. The returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The International Bond Strategy returned -4.7% net of fees in the first quarter, underperforming the -4.1% return of the J.P. Morgan GBI Global ex U.S.
index by 0.6%. The U.S. dollars advance versus almost all developed market currencies accounted for all of the negative index returns, as the 22-bp fall
in the yield of the J.P. Morgan non-U.S. Government Bond index resulted in a +2.4% return in the index when measured in local currency terms.

The global bond rally of 2014 continued into 2015, accelerating in March. With the exception of the Japanese bond market (-0.3%), government
markets rose during the quarter: in 10-year-equivalent, interest-rate swap terms, gains were the highest in Canada, +4.6%, and the lowest in the U.K.,
+2.5%. In the eurozone (+3.0%), rates continued their descent into historic lows (near zero!) as the European Central Bank began its unconventional
19-month, 1.1 trillion quantitative easing program in early March in an attempt to boost economic recovery while staving off deflation. In the U.K.,
gilts posted a fifth consecutive quarter of gains as falling inflation and speculation that the Bank of England would not be raising rates in the near future
put downward pressure on yields. Investors seeking higher bond returns were also attracted to the relative yield premium offered by U.K. gilts.

Global yield curves (measured by the difference between 10-year and 2-year swap rates) were mixed during the quarter; U.S., eurozone, and U.K. curves
flattened while the rest steepened.

The U.S. dollar continued its advance versus most developed currencies in Q1, despite dovish comments from the Fed in March. While officials
removed patience from the FOMC statement, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen acknowledged during her March 18 press conference that the Fed is
in no rush to raise rates. The euro weakened to a 12-year low versus the dollar, plunging by 11.2% during the quarter as the ECBs QE program and
uncertainly in Greece drove down the euro. In an effort to combat trailing inflation, Swedens Riksbank unexpectedly cut its repo rate by 0.15% to
-0.25%, an unprecedented move into negative territory, and expanded its QE program by 30 billion kronor; the krona plunged during the quarter, by
-9.2%. The 25-bp cut by Australias central bank reduced the currencys relative yield advantage, dragging the Australian dollar down by 6.6%. During
the quarter, U.K. sterling fell 4.8% versus the U.S. dollar, and, among emerging currencies, Brazilian real fell by 17.1%.

In addition to cutting its main rate by 50 bps to -0.75% in January, the Swiss National Bank shocked markets by announcing the end of its currencys
cap against the euro, stating that the franc is no longer overvalued. While the franc strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar by 8.0% in January, it
weakened in February and March, ending the quarter up only 2.3%.

Developed markets interest-rate positioning was responsible for losses during the quarter. Gains from developed markets currency selection partly
offset losses, followed by a small contribution provided by exposure to asset-backed securities held indirectly through GMO Debt Opportunities (DOF)
and GMO World Opportunity Overlay (WOOF).

Interest-rate strategies suffered during the quarter. A very strong bull flattening of the eurozone rates curve put immense pressure on the strategys
long-dated forward positions in March. The collapse in long-dated rates in the eurozone, and to a much lesser extent in the U.K., drove poor interestrate strategy performance during the quarter. We believe these long rates in the eurozone are nowhere close to reasonable levels. Coming into the
month of March, we had assumed there was a floor for nominal rates, particularly at the long end of the curve. With the move lower during the month,
it appears that the floor is no longer in place and that the zero-bound or lower is a possibility even at longer-dated parts of the curve. We have adjusted
our positioning within eurozone rates to withstand a further bull flattening of the curve. We have done this by converting short positions in the
15Y15Y to steepener positions, which would benefit from rates rising at the longer end of the curve. A steepener also requires increasing duration at
the shorter end of the curve. The overall effect is to lower the volatility of the portfolio but maintain a position that would benefit from higher rates at
the long end of the curve. We continue to have a high degree of confidence in these positions and are acting accordingly to ensure that the portfolio is
positioned to withstand further extreme market moves. Our thesis remains that, in time, long-dated rates will likely rise, but that view is now expressed
in relation to shorter-dated rates. In other interest-rates, long duration positions in Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico added value, while the long
duration position in Brazil detracted.

The currency strategy partly offset losses during the quarter. An underweight position in euros drove currency gains, followed by small contributions
from underweight positions in Swedish krona and Swiss francs. An overweight position in Brazilian real detracted.

QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The Currency Hedged International Bond Strategy returned +3.2% net of fees in the first quarter, underperforming the J.P. Morgan GBI Global ex
Japan ex U.S. (Hedged) index total return of +3.8% by 0.7%. The yield of the J.P. Morgan GBI Global ex Japan ex U.S. (Hedged) index fell by 42 basis

QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The Core Plus Bond Strategy returned +1.2% net of fees during the first quarter, underperforming the +1.6% return of its benchmark, the Barclays U.S.
Aggregate index, by 0.4%. Falling U.S. Treasury yields contributed positively to index performance, followed by gains on tightening sector spreads.

U.S. interest rates fell, and the U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened during the quarter: the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell by 24 basis points to end the
quarter at 1.9%, and the 2 year yields fell by 12 basis points to end the quarter at 0.6%.

The overall option-adjusted spread of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate index tightened by 2 basis points during the quarter, with spreads tightening by as
much as 8 basis points (MBS). Only ABS (+3 basis points) and U.S. Agency (+1 basis point) credit spreads widened during the quarter.

The global bond rally of 2014 continued into 2015, accelerating in March. With the exception of the Japanese bond market (-0.3%), government

QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The Debt Opportunities Strategy returned +0.6% net of fees, outperforming the return of the J.P. Morgan U.S. 3 Month Cash index by 0.5% for the first
quarter.

In the first quarter, securitized products were tighter across most asset classes, generally moving with the greater credit markets. Government bonds
rallied to the tight end of their local ranges into the end of March. Securitized products were led by CLOs in both primary and secondary trading. The
quarter ended with six new issue deals ($3.2 billion of paper), bringing a very brisk new issue pipeline to a year-to-date total of approximately $28
billion. According to Bank of America Global Research, secondary trading saw triple-A tighten by 12 basis points, while CLOs tightened by 40 basis
points in double-A and single-A, and triple-B tightened by 55 basis points. The technical conditions for leveraged loans are very positive as supply in
this asset class has trended down while demand for this paper (in the form of new CLOS) is at historically high levels.

Additionally, asset-backed securities outperformed during the quarter with triple-A Auto and Credit Card spreads tightening by 7 basis points each, to
finish at 26 and 38 basis points, respectively. Benchmark CMBS cash was relatively flat in the senior part of the structure, while mezzanine bond (-5
bps) and legacy AJs (-60 bps) outperformed. Non-Agency Subprime was broadly flat as an asset class. The sector continues to exhibit a lower level of
spread volatility than it has in the past.

At quarter-end, 36% of the strategys portfolio was rated AAA, although about 47% of the portfolio was rated single-A or better. Approximately 63% of
the strategy is invested in asset-backed securities (ABS), 10% in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), and 27% in cash or cash equivalents.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not predictive of future performance. Returns are shown after the deduction of management fees, transaction
costs and other expenses, but before custody charges, withholding taxes, and other indirect expenses. The returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

March31,2015
QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The Fixed Income Hedge Strategy returned -6.0% net of fees in the first quarter of 2015, underperforming its benchmark, the J.P. Morgan U.S. 3 Month
Cash index, by 6.0%. Cross-market interest-rate strategies were responsible for losses during the quarter, while contributions from currency
performance partly offset these losses.

The global bond rally of 2014 continued into 2015, accelerating in March. With the exception of the Japanese bond market (-0.3%), government
markets rose during the quarter: in 10-year-equivalent, interest-rate swap terms, gains were the highest in Canada, +4.6%, and the lowest in the U.K.,
+2.5%. In the eurozone (+3.0%), rates continued their descent into historic lows (near zero!) as the European Central Bank began its unconventional
19-month, 1.1 trillion quantitative easing program in early March in an attempt to boost economic recovery while staving off deflation. Further, the
ECBs purchases on the long end of the yield curve triggered a bull-flattening bias. In the U.K., gilts posted a fifth consecutive quarter of gains as falling
inflation and speculation that the Bank of England would not be raising rates in the near future put downward pressure on yields. Investors seeking
higher bond returns were also attracted to the relative yield premium offered by U.K. gilts.

The U.S. dollar continued its advance versus most developed currencies in Q1, despite dovish comments from the Fed in March. While officials
removed patience from the FOMC statement, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen acknowledged during her March 18 press conference that the Fed is
in no rush to raise rates. The euro weakened to a 12-year low versus the dollar, plunging by 11.2% during the quarter as the ECBs QE program and
uncertainly in Greece drove down the euro. In an effort to combat trailing inflation, Swedens Riksbank unexpectedly cut its repo rate by 0.15% to
-0.25%, an unprecedented move into negative territory, and expanded its QE program by 30 billion kronor; the krona plunged during the quarter, by
-9.2%. The 25-bp cut by Australias central bank reduced the currencys relative yield advantage, dragging the Australian dollar down by 6.6%. U.K.
sterling also fell versus the U.S. dollar, by 4.8% during the quarter, and, among emerging currencies, Brazilian real fell by 17.1%.

In addition to cutting its main rate by 50 bps to -0.75% in January, the Swiss National Bank shocked markets by announcing the end of its currencys
cap against the euro, stating that the franc is no longer overvalued. While the franc strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar by 8.0% in January, it
weakened in February and March, ending the quarter up only 2.3%.

Interest-rate strategies suffered during the quarter. A very strong bull flattening of the eurozone rates curve put immense pressure on the strategys
short long-dated forward positions in March. The collapse in long-dated rates in the eurozone, and to a much lesser extent in the U.K., drove poor
interest-rate strategy performance during the quarter. A long duration position in Brazil also detracted, while long duration positions in Australia, New
Zealand, and Mexico added value. We believe these long rates in the eurozone are nowhere close to reasonable levels. Coming into the month of
March, we had assumed there was a floor for nominal rates, particularly at the long end of the curve. With the move lower during the month, it appears
that the floor is no longer in place and that the zero-bound or lower is a possibility even at the very long end of the curve. We have adjusted our
positioning within eurozone rates to withstand a further bull flattening of the curve. We have done this by converting short positions in the 15Y15Y to
steepener positions, which would benefit from rates rising at the longer end of the curve. A steepener also requires increasing duration at the shorter
end of the curve. The overall effect is to lower the volatility of the portfolio but maintain a position that would benefit from higher rates at the long end
of the curve. We continue to have a high degree of confidence in these positions and are acting accordingly to ensure that the portfolio is positioned to
withstand further extreme market moves. During the month, the strategy re-structured many of the outright negative duration positions to more of a
steepener play. Still the same thesis that long-dated rates will likely rise, but now structured less as an absolute shift, and more as a relative one.

The currency strategy partly offset losses during the quarter. A short position in euros drove currency gains, followed by small contributions from short
positions in Swedish krona and Swiss francs. A long position in Brazilian real detracted.

GMOMeanReversionStrategy
March31,2015
QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

Mean Reversion Strategy delivered a net return of -2.7% during the first quarter of 2015. Poor performance was driven primarily by a short position in
European rates.

In January of 2015, we incorporated a short position in eurozone rates (15-year rates 15 years out) as these rates hit new lows. Since adding the position,
eurozone rates have pushed lower, impacted by the ECBs quantitative easing program and a limited supply of long-dated eurozone bonds. This
position detracted 3.4% during the quarter.

Equity positions detracted, led by the quality vs. S&P 500 position, which subtracted 0.7% during the quarter as quality failed to keep up with the
broader market. International and emerging markets value vs. U.S. small and midcap detracted 0.1%. The tax inversion strategy, which finished in
January when the remaining deal closed, had a negligible impact on performance.

Yield compression and circular easing by the central banks have caused rising correlations across the rates and currency markets. It is unreasonable for
us to believe that we can construct a portfolio of uncorrelated spread trades. For that reason, today we are considering all fixed income positions as a
single portfolio (as we are with currency positions). Our long position in Australia and New Zealand bonds added 1.1%. Given that we already hold
short positions in eurozone and Japanese rates, the global rates short is not necessary. The Japanese rates short and U.S. 2s30s steepener each added
about 0.1%; we took out the steepener in favor of the more attractive eurozone rates short. The U.S. Treasuries vs. Bunds positon was relatively flat for
the quarter. We have eliminated the short Bunds position, as that view is currently well expressed by our existing eurozone rates short. We converted
the U.S. Treasuries position into a long U.S. rates position; that contributed 0.5%.

Currency positions were also a drag on performance, led by the impact of the euro/Swiss franc trade, which suffered in January as the Swiss National
Bank released the peg to the euro. Since then we have maintained the Swiss franc short relative to the U.S. dollar, which has recovered some of the loss.
Overall, that position detracted 0.6%. The Indian rupee long and commodity currency contributed 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively. The Israel shekel short
detracted 0.4%. The Brazilian real long and the euro short (which we added at the end of the quarter) each modestly contributed to performance. All
currency positions are now expressed relative to the U.S. dollar.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not predictive of future performance. Returns are shown after the deduction of management fees, transaction
costs and other expenses, but before custody charges, withholding taxes, and other indirect expenses. The returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

GMOSystematicGlobalMacroStrategy
March31,2015
QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

The Systematic Global Macro Strategy returned +6.3% net of fees over the March quarter as currency, equity, bond, and commodity market positions
added value.

Currency positions added 3.3% as the U.S. dollar, held long, strengthened against short positions in the Swedish krona, British pound, and Australian
dollar.

Our net long allocation to equities contributed 1.6% as global markets (i.e., MSCI World Net Returns Index in USD) advanced 2.3% over the first
quarter. Equity market selection added a further 1.5%, due mostly to the outperformance of European markets, held long. However, a long position in
VIX futures, which cost 0.9%, subtracted the most value over the quarter.

Bond positions added 1.3% due to our large short position in 10-year JGB futures underperforming a long position in U.S. 10-year Treasury note
futures.

Commodity market positions added 1.0% as we held a net short exposure and they weakened 5.9% according to the Bloomberg Commodity Index.

The Strategy maintains a large long exposure to equity markets, a net short allocation to commodity markets, and a small net long bond allocation. We
removed a small long position in VIX futures and mostly removed long positions in U.S. and emerging markets, but other equity market allocations
remain unchanged: long positions are concentrated in European markets and Asia ex-Japan. We also made adjustments to our currency positions.
While sentiment continues to support a long position in the U.S. dollar, which we hold against short positions in the British pound and the Australian
dollar, we have extended our short position in pounds and established a meaningful long position in the euro.

The Tactical Opportunities Strategy lost 7.6% net of fees in the first quarter of 2015.

High quality stocks within the U.S. lagged the broader market in the first quarter with the three identifiers of quality all being mixed; high profitability
won, low leverage was a push, and low profit volatility lagged.

Large cap stocks lagged small caps, both within the broader market and the quality universe. Our positions in international quality companies had a
positive impact during the quarter.

The top contributors in the long portfolio were Health Care and Information Technology. UnitedHealth Group and Covidien were among the top
contributors.

The largest absolute detractor in the long portfolio was Consumer Staples, with Procter & Gamble and Philip Morris International leading the way.

Short exposure within Health Care and Information Technology drove the majority of the absolute negative returns from the short portfolio while short
exposure within Utilities had a positive contribution to return.

The strategys average net exposure for the quarter remained neutral.

QUARTERLYATTRIBUTION

In dollar terms, global equities generally posted modest gains during the first quarter as central bankers took center stage and commodity prices
continued to deflate. As international markets rose, the dollar strengthened considerably against most currencies with the exception of the yen.
International developed markets produced strong returns in local terms, bolstered by the onset of quantitative easing in the eurozone and by the
continuation of Abenomics in Japan. The U.S. market delivered barely positive returns as Fed watchers focused on if and when the rate tightening cycle
might begin, and the economy under-delivered on optimistic growth expectations. At quarter end, the MSCI All Country World index registered a
gain of 2.3%. MSCI EAFE was up 4.9%. The strongest performing major developed market was Japan, with MSCI Japan up 10.2%. Among the major
markets, the U.K. had the weakest dollar returns with MSCI U.K. down 1.0%. The S&P 500 returned +1.0% for the quarter, and MSCI Europe was up
3.5% in dollar terms. Emerging markets trailed developed international markets; MSCI Emerging returned +2.2% for the quarter.

The Total Equities Strategy returned +3.3% net of fees for the quarter, with the majority of the return driven by exposure to Equities.

Our equities strategy contributed 3.1% to the strategys total return. Exposure to Japan Value and U.S. opportunistic value helped the strategy top the
MSCI ACWI index by 1.0%. Exposure to U.S. quality detracted for the quarter.

Merger arbitrage contributed 0.4% to the strategy as two major deals closed during the quarter; Allergan-Actavis and Covidien-Medtronic. Total
Equities did not have exposure to the volatility strategy during the quarter.
