1) The value change calculation is adjusted for investments and distributions
during the period, i.e. it is the percentage change between the starting value
plus any added investment during the period and the ending value plus any
proceeds from divestments or dividends received during the period
2) Due to the ongoing liquidation of East Capital Bering New Europe Fund, East
Capital Power Utilities Fund and East European Debt Finance, these holdings
are no longer separately reported but included in short-term investments as
the remaining assets are limited and are expected to be divested before year-
end
