Citigroup^® MLP Index
The Master Limited Partnership (MLP) asset class has witnessed extraordinary growth in recent years and as a result is attracting increased attention from investors. The Citigroup^® MLP Index was created together with Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking to provide investors with a benchmark for MLP performance. The index includes natural resource-related MLPs that meet minimum size thresholds based on market capitalization. Represented are companies whose primary business is the exploration, development, mining or production, processing, refining, transportation, or the marketing of minerals or natural resources. Only natural resource-related MLPs with a total market capitalization of at least $500 million are added as components during the quarterly index rebalancings. Once included in the index, MLPs are retained as components unless their total market capitalization drops below $300 million. For more information on the Citigroup^® MLP Index, please visit the Citigroup website located at https://www.citigroupcib.com/data/mlpindex.htm or contact Citigroup at mlpindex@citigroup.com.

Goldman Sachs Taiwan Select Index (Ticker GSTW50)
The Goldman Sachs Taiwan Select Index (the "Index") is a composite price return index which reflects the U.S. dollar price changes of a weighted basket of 50 Taiwan stocks (the "Underlying Stocks"), which are denominated in Taiwan dollars. The Underlying Stocks are common stocks of companies that are listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The Index has been created in consultation with Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research. The Index will be denominated in U.S. dollars, and, as such, will have exposure to fluctuations in the New Taiwan dollar / U.S. dollar foreign currency exchange rate. Dow Jones & Company, Inc. ("Dow Jones") will calculate the level of the Index based on the most recently reported prices of the Underlying Stocks (as reported by the primary exchange or trading system on which the Underlying Stocks are listed or traded) and the Taipei 11 a.m. spot TWD/USD foreign currency exchange rate specified on the Reuters TAIFX1 page on each Index Business Day by approximately 1 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. "Index Business Day" means any day on which Dow Jones is open for business, or determines and publishes the Index. The level of the Index will not include ordinary dividends paid on the Underlying Stocks. The initial level of the index on February 27, 2007 was set at 100, and the index level calculated pursuant to the index methodology (described here) has been published since February 27, 2007.

NorthTrack Funds
The Dow Jones U.S. Financial 100 Index was created by North Track Funds out of a need for a more streamlined, evenly distributed benchmark for North Track's Dow Jones U.S. Financial 100 Plus Fund. Starting with Dow Jones' U.S. Financial Index, which is comprised of nearly 300 issues, the re-engineered 100 Index is created by ranking all the stocks in descending order by market capitalization. The top 80 stocks are automatically added as components, while those issues that rank higher than 120 are automatically excluded. The 100 Index is filled out using 20 stocks from the remaining companies that have market capitalizations between 80 and 120. This process is repeated annually. To add an additional element of sub-sector diversification, the index is rebalanced monthly, so that no individual issue accounts for more than 10% of the index's market capitalization. The rebalancing also ensures at least 60% of the index is invested in securities that account for 4% or less of the index. The Dow Jones U.S. Health Care 100 Index, created by North Track Funds to benchmark its Dow Jones U.S. Health Care 100 Plus Fund, is maintained based on a similar approach.

The Palisades Global Water Index (the “Index”) is the benchmark index of the global water industry.

The Palisades Global Water Index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index that is rebalanced and reconstituted on a quarterly basis. The Index divisor was initially calculated to yield a benchmark value of 1,000.00 at the close of trading December 31, 2003. Dow Jones & Company, Inc. ("Dow Jones") calculates the level of the Index based on the most recently reported prices of the underlying stocks (as reported by the primary exchange or trading system on which they are listed or traded).
