**PSN/Informa ranks product track records according to a proprietary blend of metrics. The peer group for the 6 STAR CATEGORY was created using the information collected through the PSN investment manager questionnaire and uses only gross of fee returns. Products must have an R-Squared of 0.80 or greater relative to the style benchmark for the recent five-year period. Moreover, products must have returns greater than the style benchmark for the three latest three-year rolling periods. Products are then selected which have a standard deviation for the five-year period equal or less than the median standard deviation for the peer group. The top ten information ratios for the latest five-year period then become the TOP GUNS. Ranking based on the performance of the Letko Brosseau Emerging Markets Equity Composite in U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2019. The PSN’s Emerging Markets Equity universe tracks 156 firms and 294 separate products.
