vertical distance on the scale; PA = Per Annum.
*In this example, the ‘Raw Style’ is companies with a high book-to-price ratio
**Once our systematic approach has reduced the impact of overlapping styles the ‘True Style’ of companies with a high book-to-price ratio is revealed

derived from them can go down as well as up as a result of market or currency movements and investors may not get
back the original amount invested.

Equity Market Neutral: An investment strategy that seeks to exploit differences in stock prices by being long and short in
stocks within markets, sectors, industries or countries. This strategy is intended to create returns that, over an extended
period of time, are uncorrelated with general equity market performance, however this cannot be guaranteed and over
discrete periods there may be a high degree of positive or negative correlation.
