Total return performance has been calculated by adding in the projected income from the other positions being re-invested on a quarterly basis as part of a general re-balance exercise. Total return performance has been calculated up until December 2015 by assuming the receipt of a quarter of the projected income every 3 months with this being reinvested into two model positions at half yearly intervals.
