Credit Suisse FX Factor USD Excess Return Index
Monthly Performance Report -December 2009

1 January 2010

HIGHLIGHTS

o   The CS FX Factor Index ended 2009 with strong momentum, registering a
    monthly gain of 1.80% in December.

o   For the full year, the Excess Return for FX Factor was 7.05%, with a
    realised volatility of 4.17%, resulting in a Sharpe Ratio of 1.62.

o   As risk appetite markedly improved over the past few weeks, Carry -
    particularly in the emerging market component - and Growth were key
    contributors to the overall index performance.

o   At the other end of the spectrum, Momentum contributed negatively, as the US
    dollar recovered strongly across the board.
