The Global Natural Resources Composite includes all Natural Resources accounts managed by RS Investments from November 15, 1995 through June 30, 2008. Prior to 12/1/03 performance results represent returns for a single account. Monthly composite returns are calculated by weighting each account's monthly return by its beginning value as a percent of the total composite's beginning market value. Quarterly and annual returns are calculated by linking the monthly and quarterly returns, respectively, through compound multiplication. Performance numbers above are after the deduction of fees.
1 The S&P North American Natural Resources Index is a modified cap-weighted index designed as a benchmark for U.S.-traded securities in the natural resources sector. The index includes companies involved in the following categories: extractive industries, energy companies, owners and operators of timber tracts, forestry services, producers of pulp and paper, and owners of plantations. Index results assume the reinvestment of dividends paid on the stocks constituting the index. Unlike the Fund, the index does not incur fees or expenses.
