1 Morningstar Direct 3.1 Enhancements to: Navigation and Usability Functionality Data Released on Friday, Feb. 2, 2007 Morningstar Direct Team

2 Navigation and Usability

3 Fund Analysis, Equity Analysis are the New Menu Choices

4 As Noted in Nov. 2006 Press Release, Given the New Focus on Collective Investment Trusts, the Databases were Re-named Previously called just “Separate Accounts” Previously called “Composites” Previously called “Commingled Funds”

5 Morningstar Enhancing Coverage of Collective Investment Trusts CHICAGO, Nov. 29, 2006—Morningstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: MORN) today announced plans to enhance its coverage of collective investment trusts, investment vehicles similar to mutual funds available only in qualified retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans. Beginning in early 2007, Morningstar will collect net returns, in addition to gross returns, for these pooled investment vehicles, and will provide monthly rankings and Morningstar Ratings™ against a peer group of mutual funds. Morningstar currently compares collective investment trusts to separately managed accounts, using gross returns to provide a quarterly rating. Under this new framework, investors and advisors will be able to more accurately compare collective investment trusts to mutual fund offerings in retirement plans and will have access to timelier, more transparent information. “Because these investments are direct competitors with mutual funds in retirement plans, however, we think it’s more appropriate to give them more prominence and put them on a level playing field with mutual funds,” said John Rekenthaler, vice president of research for Morningstar. “Going forward, investors will be able to directly compare the star ratings of a collective investment trust with those of a mutual fund. We hope not only to provide a more timely, meaningful point of comparison for investors, but also to set a higher reporting standard within the collective investment trust space.”With its recent acquisition of the database division of InvestorForce, Morningstar now has data on approximately 650 collective investment trusts. In addition to both gross- and net-of- fee performance data, Morningstar collects other data points such as risk and return statistics, fees and expenses, manager information, and portfolio holdings.

14 Peer Investor Holding Analysis, from “View Holdings” An institutional investor, such as Madison Mosaic in this case, may want to see what its peers – maybe its competitors – own in terms of stocks, bonds, options, etc. The comparison of what investments are similar or different against a peer or group of peers begins here.

19 Active Share Calculation Added to Holdings Similarity Chart The holdings similarity chart can be adjusted to overlap or similarity scores as well in “Chart Settings.”

20 To calculate Active Share, just calculate the Overlap with the index of choice and subtract from 1. Overlap = Sum{min(w1i,w2i)} Where w1i = weight of stock i on portfolio 1 w2i = weight of stock i on portfolio 2 For example: Stock Port 1 Port 2 Min A 0.10 0.05 0.05 B 0.03 0.20 0.03 C 0.30 0.20 0.20 D 0.25 0.10 0.10 E 0.12 0.00 0.00 F 0.20 0.35 0.20 G 0.00 0.10 0.00 Total 1.00 1.00 0.58 Overlap = 58% Active Share = 100% - 58% = 42% Active Share Calculation
