Au:vis Spectrum Asset Management! Principal o' Spectrum Preferred Securities is managed to an intermediate duration. and is predominantly comprised of $25 Par Preferred Securities that trade on the NYSE. Spectrum feels that because retail investors are the primary owners of $25 Par Preferred Securities, there is more inefficiency, and more trading opportunities that can be exploited than are usually found with other fixed income sectors that are owned primarily by institutional investors. Spectrum's strategy provides yield enhancement over traditional fixed income portfolios without subjecfing the portfolio to increased credit risk. Spectrum invests in issues that offer high quality. risk-adjusted yield premiums and compensation for any subordination, liquidity, maturity, and call differences. Only issuers whose senior unsecured debt is rated BBB-. or above by at least two credit rating agencies are included in Spectrum's investment universe. Key drivers in the security selection process are credit strength and yield. For a security to be considered for investment, the credit status of the issuer must be improving or stable. The security yield must be attractive, given the credit rating and credit trend relative to other preferred securities. Sell decisions can be either a function of a credit development or recognition that the preferred yield has become "rich" relative to the debt level. Approximately 30-40% of the portfolio will qualify for the 15% tax rate on dividends. ... ..... ....... ..... III ...... ......

During the quarter, relative underperformance came from a variety of areas, including Domestic Banking, Foreign Banking, Industrial, REIT Preferreds, and Utilities. From a security selection standpoint. Banking names that were relative detractors included Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, UBS, and HSBC. Additional detractors included General Electric. Public Storage. Aegon, Partner Re. and the Southern Company. Conversely, sectors that generated relative gains for the Strategy included Life Insurance, Media, and Foreign Reinsurance. Among the names that provided positive contributions to return were Royal Bank of Canada, Met Life, BofA, US Bank, Renaissance Re, American Express, and Capital One. The Manager continues to believe that due to Preferreds' subordinated nature and subsequent yield prenaum, they offer an attractive opportunity versus high-yield, corporate, and U.S. Treasuries. This Strategy seeks to maintain a target allocation to qualified dividend investments of 30-40%. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. • nnualized Returns(%) 8.3 7.5 6.8 6.0 5.3 4.5 3.8 3.0 2.3 1.5 E 0.8 0.0 re YTD I Year 3 Yeats 1 5 Yeats 10 Yeats ImS0tHettee (grew Spectrum Pfds(nee) Quarter YTD 1 Year BotAsti.
