Composite Footnotes
Granahan Investment Management claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS
standards. Granahan Investment Management has been independently verified for the periods January 1, 1993 through March 31, 2011. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has
complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present
performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. GIM is an independent, SEC- registered investment firm that oversees small and mid-cap equity portfolios for large institutions and
wealthy individuals. The Small Cap Focused Growth product utilizes fundamental, bottom-up research and analysis to invest in companies in the small cap sector of the market that exhibit
sustainable high earnings growth, with a focus on the technology services, internet, consumer, and business services sectors. The benchmark for the Small Cap Focused Growth product is
the Russell 2000 Growth. The composite, created in December 2011, is calculated by asset-weighting the performance of each account on a monthly basis. The composite includes returns
from the portfolio manager’s prior firm, from inception of August 1, 2007 through December 30, 2011. Accounts are included beginning with the first full month under management and
terminated accounts are included in the composite. Performance calculations, expressed in U.S. dollars, produce a total return including cash and the reinvestment of dividends and interest.
Standard Deviation is calculated using equal-weighted total returns for accounts in the composite the entire year. Leverage is not utilized. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating
performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.. Returns are gross of investment management fees, which when included, reduce investment returns. Net of
Fees returns are calculated by applying the fee schedule below to all accounts in the composite. The fee for accounts managed in the Small Cap Focused Growth style is payable quarterly in
arrears and is calculated by applying the following ANNUAL percentages to the average value of the assets in an account on the last day of each month in the quarter: First $15 million 1.00%,
next $35 million 0.80%, next $50 million 0.60%, above $100 million 0.73%. Fees are collected quarterly, which produces a compounding effect on the total rate of return net of management
fees. Market value is based on trade date and security pricing is supplied by Telemet. A complete list and description of all of the firm's composites is available upon request. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results.
