 1. Private equity investments are valued in accordance  
 with the International Private Equity and Venture       
 Capital Valuation Guidelines. Reasonably possible       
 alternative valuations have been determined using       
 alternative price earnings multiples.                   
 2. Unquoted investments in property vehicles and direct 
 holdings in investment property are valued by           
 independent valuers on the basis of open market value as 
 defined in the appraisal and valuation manual of the    
 Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. Reasonably      
 possible alternative valuations have been determined    
 using alternative yield and occupancy assumptions.
