    (1) Net New Money is defined as Sales less Redemptions and is consistent
        with the terminology used by IFIC.
    (2) Redemptions of long-term mutual funds for the month were higher as a
        result of rebalance transactions by an institutional investor. The
        impact of the rebalance transactions resulted in net redemptions of
        $11.0 million, which is reflected in the net new money total for the
        month.
