Active Investment Advisors1

A division of Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P., Active investment Advisors specializes in managing index-based separate account solutions. Based in Oakland , CA , the group is known for an innovative investment approach that combines proprietary investment strategies designed to seek a pretax return similar to that of a specific benchmark with sophisticated tax management techniques aimed at increasing after-tax returns. Each of the firm's strategies seeks to take advantage of added customization and tax-management benefits inherent in separately managed accounts. The firm has $300 million in assets under management (as of June 30, 2008).
