Still awaiting pricing [I] Classification: For internal use only Thanks Tazia. A couple of comments; - In the title and in the first paragraph you have inverted "Capital Invested". - Re the chart of the US divs performance; I don't know whether compliance would allow you to just choose an arbitrary time frame. If that is the total time-frame available then that is okay. - In the line; "10 total indices in the CROCI family: US, UK, Japan, Germany, Euro, World, World Ex-Japan, Sectors III, Global Dividends and US Dividends" please remove "total" and put "principal". Thanks, Joe Kind regards, Joe Hall (Embedded image moved to file: pic28127.gif) Joe Hall DWS Investments Distributors, Inc.

Still awaiting pricing [I] Classification: For internal use only Subject: Consider: $10-15mm Total Return Swap on Cash Return On Invested Capital (CROCI), L+65bps Good Morning Jeffrey - Globally you are seeing the rotation from high-beta, small cap and growth stocks into large-cap value. This is inline with your early call for us to pull out a concentrated five names. Instead of those single stocks, consider a $10-15mm total return swap on Cash Return On Invested Capital (CROCI). Specifically, the CROCI sub-index focused on dividend paying/dividend-growing US equities. I've included my colleague, Joe Hall, who sits on the CROCI team and will gladly detail this stock-selection strategy with you directly at any point.
