Note 1: Net Asset Value For Investor Shares = $6,777,925,490 as of the end of July 2006.

Note 2:

Investment ratio is calculated by dividing each asset at its market value by the total Net Asset Value of the Fund. The same applies hereinafter.

Note 3:

The Yen amount is translated for convenience at the rate of $1.00 = ¥ 118.94 (the mean of the exchange rate quotations by The Bank of Tokyo UFJ - Mitsubishi, Ltd. for buying and selling spot U.S. Dollars by telegraphic transfer against Yen on July 31, 2007). The same applies hereafter.

Note 4:

Since Shares are denominated in U.S. Dollars, the amounts appearing hereafter are all Dollar amounts unless otherwise specifically indicated.

Note 5:

In this document, money amounts and percentages have been rounded. Therefore, there are cases in which the amount of the “total column” is not equal to the aggregate amount. Also, translation into Yen is made simply

by multiplying the corresponding amount by the conversion rate specified and rounded up when necessary. As a result, in this document, there are cases in which Japanese Yen figures for the same information differ from each other.

Beta

1.00

 

Note 1 R Squared and Beta are calculated from trailing 36-month fund returns relative to the MSCI® US Small-Cap 1750 Index.

 

Note 2

“R Squared” is a measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by the fund’s target index benchmark and by an overall market index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-Squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship with the index’s returns, its R-Squared would be 0.

 

Note 3 “Beta” is a measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of the fund’s target index benchmark and an overall market index. Each index is assigned a Beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a Beta of 1.20 would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%.

Note 1  Net Asset Value For Investor Shares is $45,416,700,706 as of the end of July 2007.

Note 2  Investment ratio is calculated by dividing each asset at its market value by the total Net Asset Value of the Fund. The same applies hereinafter.

Note 3  Dollar amount is translated for convenience at the rate of $1.00=¥118.94 (the mean of the exchange rate quotations by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. for buying and selling spot dollars by telegraphic transfer against yen on the 31st of July, 2007). The same applies hereinafter.

Note 4:  Since Shares are denominated in U.S. Dollars, the amounts appearing hereafter are all Dollar amounts unless otherwise specifically indicated.

 


Note 5  In this document, money amounts and percentages have been rounded. Therefore, there are cases in which the amount of the "total column" is not equal to the aggregate amount. Also, translation into yen is made simply by multiplying the corresponding amount by the conversion rate specified and rounded up when necessary. As a result, in this document, there are cases in which Japanese yen figures for the same information differ from each other.

R Squared

1.00

Beta

1.00

 

Note 1  R Squared and Beta are calculated from trailing 36-month fund returns relative to the MSCI US Broad Market Index.

 

Note 2  “R Squared” is a measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by the fund’s target index benchmark and by an overall market index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-Squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship with the index’s returns, its R-Squared would be 0.

 

Note 3  “Beta” is a measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of the fund’s target index benchmark and an overall market index. Each index is assigned a Beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a Beta of 1.20 would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%.
