The performance numbers represent a composite of international accounts managed by Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM”) (the “Composite”).  These numbers are estimated for the period as all underlying accounts have not yet been reconciled. All rates of return include reinvested dividends and other earnings and are net of fees and brokerage commissions. The performance data shown above represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

 

The performance results for the Composite are shown in comparison to an index. Unlike the Composite, this index is not actively managed and does not reflect the deduction of any advisory or other fees and expenses.  While the securities comprising the index are not identical to those in the Composite, DCM believes this comparison may be useful in evaluating performance. 

 

The S&P/Citigroup BMI World Property Ex-US Index is an unmanaged portfolio of approximately 262 constituents from 19 countries, measuring the investable universe of publicly traded real estate investment trusts in developed and emerging markets.
