Notes
1) Represents the performance of the Index based on, as applicable to the
relevant measurement period, the hypothetical backtested daily Index
closing levels from Aug 31,2001 through Aug 27, 2009, and the actual
historical performance of the Index based on the daily Index closing level
from Aug 28, 2009 through Aug 31, 2011, as well as the performance of the
US Generic Government 10 Year Yield Index over the same period. There is no
guarantee of any future performance for these indices based on this
information. Source: Bloomberg and JPMorgan.
2) On a quarterly basis (generally, the second to last business day in
February, May, August and November), J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd., or JPMSL,
acting as the Index calculation agent, will rebalance the Index to take
synthetic long positions in the next 10 year Treasury Futures Contract
scheduled to expire immediately following the contract closest to
expiration.
3) Calculated based on the annualized standard deviation for the ten year
period prior to Aug 31, 2011
4) For the above analysis, the Sharpe Ratio, which is a measure of
risk-adjusted performance, is computed as the ten year annualized
historical return divided by the ten year annualized volatility.
