Valuation The Strategy will be valued on a mark to market

basis quarterly on the last calendar day of each

month. The Strategy Manager may at its absolute

discretion determine additional valuation dates on

an ad-hoc basis.

The Strategy’s value will be determined by

deducting the total liabilities from the total assets of

the Strategy. The value of the assets and liabilities

of the Strategy will be determined in accordance

with CFML’s standard strategy valuation policy,

which is available on request and may be

published from time to time on CFML’s website.

Unit Pricing The net asset value per unit will be calculated by

dividing the net asset value of the Strategy by the

total number of units participating in the Strategy.

The Directors reserve the right to adjust the unit

price on any valuation date to reflect the

approximate true cost or value per unit

associated with any investment or redemption

from the strategy.
