initial reaction represents the period during which, in our judgment, markets began pricing the first rate hike through the date of the second rate hike. The
subsequent market reaction is the period from the second rate hike to a point determined to be the end of the rate hiking cycle. The total reaction is the market
movement across the full rate hiking cycle. Guide to the Markets - Europe. Data as of 30 June 2015.

objective of the index design is to divide constituents of an underlying MSCI Standard Country Index into a value index
and a growth index, each targeting 50% of the free float adjusted market capitalization of the underlying country index.
Country Value/Growth indices are then aggregated into regional Value/Growth indices. Prior to May 30, 2003, the
indices used Price/Book Value (P/BV) ratios to divide the standard MSCI country indices into value and growth indices.
All securities were classified as either "value" securities (low P/BV securities) or "growth" securities (high P/BV
securities), relative to each MSCI country index.
