Risk Information

The risks associated with Large Cap Core investing are based on the expectation of positive price performance due to continued earnings growth or anticipated changes in the market or within the company itself. However, if a company fails to meet that expectation or anticipated changes do not occur, its stock price may decline. Moreover, as with all equity investing, there is the risk that an unexpected change in the market or within the company itself may have an adverse effect on its stock. Investing in growth-oriented stocks involves potentially higher volatility and risk than investing in income-generating stocks. The biggest risk of equity investing is that returns can fluctuate and investors can lose money.

Disclosures

(1) The calculation of the performance data includes reinvestment of all income and gains and is depicted on a time-weighted and size-weighted average for the entire period. Calculations include reinvestment of all income and gains. Performance is shown before (gross) and after (net) the deduction of both management fees and transaction costs. Performance figures include all of Eagle’s retail managed accounts. All composite performance data through 2009 have been verified by an internationally recognized accounting firm. Performance data for the current year have not been audited and are subject to revision. No inference should be drawn by present or prospective clients that managed accounts will achieve similar investment performance in the future. Because accounts are individually managed, returns for separate accounts may be higher or lower than the average performance stated above.

Investing in equities may result in a loss of capital.
