MSCI ACWI (Net) was stated as the primary benchmark on June 1, 2024 and MSCI World (Net) became the secondary benchmark.

The Largest Holdings shown are based on total account of the model portfolio. The Region Weights and Sector Weights shown are based on the model portfolio and exclude cash. The Portfolio Risk/Return Statistics figures are based on the Aristotle Global Equity WM Composite (“Composite”). Portfolio risk/return statistics and characteristics are presented gross of fees and do not include the deduction of all fees and expenses that a client or investor has paid or would have paid. Please refer to the gross and net composite returns included within to understand the overall impact of fees. The representative account was chosen since, in our view, it is the account within the Composite that most closely reflects the portfolio management style of the strategy. Not every client’s account will have these exact characteristics. The actual characteristics with respect to any particular client account will vary based on a number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) the size of the account; (ii) investment restrictions applicable to the account, if any; and (iii) market exigencies at the time of investment. You should not assume that any of the securities transactions, sectors or holdings discussed in this report are or will be profitable, or that recommendations Aristotle Capital Management, LLC (Aristotle Capital) makes in the future will be profitable or equal the performance of the securities listed in this report. There is no assurance that any securities, sectors or industries discussed herein will be included in or excluded from an account’s portfolio. Aristotle Capital reserves the right to modify its current investment strategies and techniques based on changing market dynamics or client needs. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell a particular security. Recommendations made in the last 12 months are available upon request. Past performance is not indicative of future results. All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investments are also subject to political, market, currency and regulatory risks or economic developments. International investments involve special risks that may in particular cause a loss in principal, including currency fluctuation, lower liquidity, different accounting methods and economic and political systems, and higher transaction costs. These risks typically are greater in emerging markets. While Large-capitalization companies may have more stable prices than smaller, less established companies, they are still subject to equity securities risk. In addition, large-capitalization equity security prices may not rise as much as prices of equity securities of small-capitalization companies. Securities of small- and medium-sized companies tend to have a shorter history of operations, be more volatile and less liquid. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks. The material is provided for informational and/or educational purposes only and is not intended to be and should not be construed as investment, legal or tax advice and/or a legal opinion. Investors should consult their financial and tax adviser before making investments. The opinions referenced are as of the date of publication, may be modified due to changes in the market or economic conditions, and may not necessarily come to pass. Information and data presented has been developed internally and/or obtained from sources believed to be reliable. Aristotle Capital does not guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of such information.

The MSCI ACWI Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The MSCI ACWI captures large and mid cap representation across 23 Developed Markets (DM) and 24 Emerging Markets (EM) countries. With approximately 2,900 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the global investable equity opportunity set. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance in 23 developed markets countries. The MSCI World Index includes the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The volatility (beta) of the Composite may be greater or less than that of the benchmarks. It is not possible to invest directly in these indices. Active Share is a measure of the percentage of stock holdings in a manger’s portfolio that differ from the benchmark index. Turnover is the percentage of a portfolio’s securities that have changed over the course of five years: (lesser of purchases or sales)/average market value. The turnover is annualized. Weighted Average Market Cap is a dollar-value measurement of the size of companies in a portfolio or index. In such a weighting scheme, an average figure is derived from the market capitalizations of each company (their market prices multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) multiplied by their weights in the portfolio or index. Dividend Yield is the ratio of a firm’s dividends each year relative to its share price. Return on Equity (ROE) is the amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders’ equity. ROE measures a corporation’s profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested. The figure discards all calculations that are greater than 100 or less than -100. Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio measures a company’s share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS). Price-to-Book (P/B) Value ratio is calculated by dividing the company’s current stock price per share by its book value per share (BVPS). This calculation uses the weighted harmonic mean. Upside Market Capture is a measure of the performance in up markets relative to the market itself. Downside Market Capture is a measure of the performance in down markets relative to the market itself. Annualized Alpha is a measure of risk-adjusted excess return over the style index. Tracking Error is the annualized standard deviation of the differences between the portfolio and index returns. R-Squared is a measure of how closely related the variance of the manager returns and the variance of the benchmark returns are. Beta is the systematic risk of a security or portfolio compared to the market. It is used to measure market risk. Standard Deviation is a measure of risk or variability of returns over time. Higher deviation represents higher volatility. Information Ratio is a measure of returns above the benchmark (usually an index) relative to the volatility of those returns. Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the excess return over the risk-free rate relative to standard deviation to determine the reward per unit of risk.

All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investments are also subject to political, market, currency and regulatory risks or economic developments. International investments involve special risks that may in particular cause a loss in principal, including currency fluctuation, lower liquidity, different accounting methods and economic and political systems, and higher transaction costs. These risks typically are greater in emerging markets. While Large-capitalization companies may have more stable prices than smaller, less established companies, they are still subject to equity securities risk. In addition, large-capitalization equity security prices may not rise as much as prices of equity securities of small-capitalization companies. Securities of small- and medium-sized companies tend to have a shorter history of operations, be more volatile and less liquid.

The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The S&P 500® Index is the Standard & Poor’s Composite Index of 500 stocks and is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock prices. The volatility (beta) of the Composite may be greater or less than that of the benchmarks. It is not possible to invest directly in these indices. Active Share is a measure of the percentage of stock holdings in a manager’s portfolio that differ from the benchmark index. Turnover is the percentage of a portfolio’s securities that have changed over the course of five years: (lesser of purchases or sales)/average market value. The turnover is annualized. Weighted Average Market Cap is a dollar-value measurement of the size of companies in a portfolio or index. In such a weighting scheme, an average figure is derived from the market capitalizations of each company (their market prices multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) multiplied by their weights in the portfolio or index. Dividend Yield is the ratio of a firm’s dividends each year relative to its share price. Return on Equity (ROE) is the amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders’ equity. ROE measures a corporation’s profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested. The figure discards all calculations that are greater than 100 or less than -100. Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio measures a company’s share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS). Price-to-Book (P/B) Value ratio is calculated by dividing the company’s current stock price per share by its book value per share (BVPS). This calculation uses the weighted harmonic mean. Upside Market Capture is a measure of the performance in up markets relative to the market itself. Downside Market Capture is a measure of the performance in down markets relative to the market itself. Annualized Alpha is a measure of risk-adjusted excess return over the style index. Tracking Error is the annualized standard deviation of the differences between the portfolio and index returns. R-Squared is a measure of how closely related the variance of the manager returns and the variance of the benchmark returns are. Beta is the systematic risk of a security or portfolio compared to the market. It is used to measure market risk. Standard Deviation is a measure of risk or variability of returns over time. Higher deviation represents higher volatility. Information Ratio is a measure of returns above the benchmark (usually an index) relative to the volatility of those returns. Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the excess return over the risk-free rate relative to standard deviation to determine the reward per unit of risk.

Net returns are calculated by subtracting the highest applicable wrap/SMA fee, which includes trading costs and custodial fees, from the pure gross monthly composite return (3.00% on an annual basis, or 0.25% monthly). This material is not financial advice or an offer to buy or sell any product. Please see important disclosures at the end of this web page.

The Largest Holdings, Market Cap Breakdown and Characteristics figures shown are based on a representative account. The Sector Weights figures shown are based on the representative portfolio within the Aristotle Large Cap Growth Composite (the Composite) and excludes cash. The representative account was chosen since, in our view, it is the account within the Composite that most closely reflects the portfolio management style of the strategy. Not every client’s account will have these exact characteristics. The actual characteristics with respect to any particular client account will vary based on a number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) the size of the account; (ii) investment restrictions applicable to the account, if any; and (iii) market exigencies at the time of investment. You should not assume that any of the securities transactions, sectors or holdings discussed in this report are or will be profitable or that recommendations Aristotle Atlantic Partners, LLC (Aristotle Atlantic) makes in the future will be profitable or equal the performance of the securities listed in this report. There is no assurance that any securities, sectors or industries discussed herein will be included in or excluded from an account’s portfolio. Aristotle Atlantic reserves the right to modify its current investment strategies and techniques based on changing market dynamics or client needs. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell a particular security. Recommendations made in the last 12 months are available upon request. Past performance is not indicative of future results. All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investments are also subject to political, market, currency and regulatory risks or economic developments. International investments involve special risks that may in particular cause a loss in principal, including currency fluctuation, lower liquidity, different accounting methods and economic and political systems, and higher transaction costs. These risks typically are greater in emerging markets. While Large-capitalization companies may have more stable prices than smaller, less established companies, they are still subject to equity securities risk. In addition, large-capitalization equity security prices may not rise as much as prices of equity securities of small-capitalization companies. Securities of small- and medium-sized companies tend to have a shorter history of operations, be more volatile and less liquid. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks. The material is provided for informational and/or educational purposes only and is not intended to be and should not be construed as investment, legal or tax advice and/or a legal opinion. Investors should consult their financial and tax adviser before making investments. The opinions referenced are as of the date of publication, may be modified due to changes in the market or economic conditions, and may not necessarily come to pass.

The Russell 1000® Growth Index is an unmanaged, market capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of those companies in the Russell 1000® Index with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The volatility (beta) of the Composite may be greater or less than that of the benchmark. It is not possible to invest directly in this index. Active Share is a measure of the percentage of stock holdings in a manager’s portfolio that differ from the benchmark index. Weighted Average Market Capitalization is a dollar-value measurement of the size of companies in a portfolio or index. In such a weighting scheme, an average figure is derived from the market capitalizations of each company (their market prices multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) multiplied by their weights in the portfolio or index. Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio measures a company’s share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS). Price-to-Book (P/B) Value ratio is calculated by dividing the company’s current stock price per share by its book value per share (BVPS). This calculation uses the weighted harmonic mean. Forward EPS Growth is the percentage increase or decrease in the next five years’ earnings estimates compared to current year’s earnings estimates. Return on Equity is the amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders’ equity. Return on equity measures a corporation’s profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested.
