Before we begin, always remember!

� No risk means no reward, but high risk doesn’t mean high reward.

� One can learn from past history, but historical performance and events do not guarantee future ones.

� When it’s too good to be true, it usually is…

� There is no free lunch!

So what is a hedge fund exactly?

� Hedge funds are actively managed. (alpha vs. beta)

� Hedge funds have flexible investment guidelines. (leverage, short sales, derivatives)

� Hedge funds’ liquidities are limited. (monthly subscription and quarterly redemption)

� Hedge funds charge performance fees in addition to management fees. (absolute return target)

� Hedge fund managers are investors/partners as oppose to employees. (alignment of interests)

� Hedge funds have limited transparency. (double edge sword)

The term “hedge fund” is not defined or used in the federal securities laws, but most hedge funds do share some common characteristics:

What are the key risks of hedge fund investing?

Limited/Poor Information

Liquidity Risk

Manager Risk

Headline Risk

Event Risk

� Investors are reliant on the manager for the availability, quality and quantity of information.

Leverage Risk

� Invested capital is generally less accessible than that of traditional asset classes. For example, most hedge funds have quarterly or annual liquidity.

� The performance of hedge funds is more dependent on manager-specific skills, rather than broad exposure to a particular market.

� Negative media publications pertaining to hedge funds.

� Hedge funds often use leverage, sometimes at significant levels, to enhance potential returns.

� Given their niche specialization, market dislocations can affect some hedge fund strategies more adversely than others.

Operational Risk�The business that supports the investment activities of the manager ―

infrastructure, operational controls/systems, accounting, legal structure, documentation, etc. ― are equally as important as investment attributes.

14

Manager Risk: Dispersion of Hedge Fund Returns vs. Traditional Long Only

Note: Long-only data source is Mobius M-search; hedge fund strategy data source is Hedge Fund Research (HFR).

� Each bar chart depicts the quartile distribution of hedge fund manager returns (normalized around the median – i.e., 0% return) for each hedge fund strategy as well as a universe of large capitalization, long-only equity managers

� Hedge fund manager selection seems most important in Long/Short equities and other directional strategies

Note: Methodology: Performance of funds in each strategy is ranked from best to worst with top 5% and bottom 5% excluded. Each fund’s performance is compared with the strategy’s median (0%) to arrive at distribution as depicted on charts.

Single Fund 25 Fund Portfolio

Source: Returns and dispersion data represent returns from January 1998 to December 2007 of hedge funds in the Hedge Fund Research (HFR) database. Fund selection based on availability of continuous historical monthly returns from January 1998 to December 2007. Based on this screen, there were 1284 funds in the universe. Funds in the HFR database which were not in continuous existence from January 1998 to December 2007 are not included in the analysis. The 25-fund Portfolio represents a stratified sample of hedge funds, where managers are first separated into 6 distinct categories: long/short equities, short selling, distressed securities, relative value, merger arbitrage/event, and opportunistic/macro. Then we randomly selected managers in those strategies. This information is shown for illustrative purposes only.

Current environment presents challenges…

� Increased equity beta and strategy correlation

– Equity managers increase beta during market strength

– Macro and relative value strategies expanding into equities and/or tilting neutrality stance

� Institutionalization

– Hedge fund conservatism

– Single managers focused on building a hedge fund “business” and becoming increasingly institutionalized

� Alpha erosion

– Arbitrage strategies

– Probable decrease in alpha duration

� Headline risk

– Few, but high-profile, frauds

� Access

� Increased complexity of terms

� Offers a differentiated asset class for portfolio diversification

– Hedge the common or systematic risks that cause volatility in long-only positions

– Stock selection process drives portfolio returns

� Offers an "Absolute Return" focus

– Buy stocks that appear attractive while sell-short the stocks that appear unattractive

– Add value if the attractive stocks outperform the unattractive stocks

� Seeks to offer low correlation with other investments

– Focus is on manager and model capabilities, a fundamentally different source of return than traditional "long" equity or bond portfolios

Diversification does not guarantee investment returns and does not eliminate the risk of loss.The manager seeks to achieve the stated objectives. There can be no guarantee the objectives will be met.

What is Statistical Arbitrage?

� Aims to identify and profit from mispricings in security prices using a quantitative , systematic approach to investing

� Seeks to predict stock price movements and estimate their returns using mathematical models to analyse historical and real-time data

� Utilises a fully automated investment process, where sophisticated computer algorithms govern decisions rather than a team of people

� Seeks portfolio returns driven by stock-specific risk (alpha ) rather than exposure to market risk (beta )

� Attempts to forecast security returns drawing on relationships that research seems to show are consistent, effective predictors of returns in diverse market environments

Differences from Traditional Equity Managers

� Purely quantitative– Fully automated and driven by sophisticated computer algorithms

– Analyzes large quantities of data faster and more accurately than teams of people

– Researchers developed models that follow instructions on how to execute investment process

Factor Model

Market Risk Stock-Specific Risk

Return Characteristics of a Stock

� The Factor Model serves as an integral part of the risk management function for the strategy– Seeks to identify and estimate drivers of a stock’s return, due to market and stock-specific factors

– Seeks to diversify portfolio exposure to common and statistically-derived factors in an attempt to reduce concentrated exposures of market risk

Common Factors

�Market forces that contribute to stock price movements:

– Sector/Industry– Capitalization size– Style (value/growth)– Momentum– Volatility– Yield– Dividend

Statistically-DerivedFactors

�Statistical methods attempt to identify risk exposures not captured by common factor analysis

�This Principal Components Analysis supplements common factor analysis

�Proprietary estimation of stock-specific risk

�Attempt to be highly diversified across stock-specific risks by holding large number of names

Stock-Specific Residuals

� Serves as portfolio construction component, seeking to identify and hold that combination of stocks that will potentially maximise return, minimise risk and balance portfolio risk across time

� Identifies trades to bring existing portfolio closer to “optimal” portfolio in the current market environment within constraints of Factor Model

– Assembles ranked list of stocks according to estimated risk-adjusted return, based on Forecasting System’s return predictions and Factor Model’s risk exposure penalties

� Rebalances every 5 minutes throughout the trading day, incorporating most recent information available, including changes in return estimates, risk exposures, real-time change in stock prices, volumes and transaction costs(1)

HSMNF Performance Review

HSMNF Performance Review (cont’d)Inception to July 2007� The Fund delivered consistent, positive returns � Volatility was generally low, with mild spikes in late

February� All four stock selection forecasting themes worked well,

with no single theme significantly dominating returns

August 2007� An unprecedented market dislocation occurred in early

August as traders affected by losses in credit portfolios rapidly reduced leverage to create cash

� This dramatic series of portfolio liquidations broadly impacted relative value, market neutral and quant equity managers and strategies

� The Fund experienced poor performance from relative value forecasts which outweighed other themes

September to December 2007� Continued portfolio liquidations and unusual trading

behavior from quant and relative value managers continued to present a challenging environment

� Longer-term and relative value forecasts remained weak

January 2008 - Present(1)

� All four stock selection themes improved, resulting in stronger and more consistent performance

� The Fund appears to be capitalizing on higher market volatility, less crowding and less capital deployed in quant strategies

Appendix: Glossary

ALPHA: The excess return of a fund relative to the return of the benchmark index.

BETA: Measures the risk or volatility of the hedge fund manager relative to the specified benchmark. It represents the change in return for every 1% change in the index. If the beta is more than 1, the investment typically gains or loses more than the index. Beta measures the slope of the curve that depicts the investment's performance.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE ARBITRAGE: Investment strategy that seeks to exploit pricing inefficiencies in a firm's capital structure. Strategy will entail a long position in the undervalued security, and a short position in the overvalued, expecting the pricing disparity between the two to close out.

CONVERTIBLE ARBITRAGE: Involves the purchase of convertible securities, generally convertible bonds, coupled with the short sale of the equities underlying these securities. This position hedges out the equity risk, captures leveraged cash flows and exploits the volatility contained in the convertible’s embedded option.

CLOSED FUND: A hedge fund that has temporarily or permanently stopped accepting new capital from investors.

DISTRESSED SECURITIES: Investments in securities of companies where the security's price has been, or is expected to be, affected by a distressed situation. This may involve reorganizations, bankruptcies, distressed sales and other corporate restructurings.

EQUITY HEDGE: Consists of a core holding of long equities hedged at all times with short sales of stocks and/or stock index options.

EQUITY MARKET NEUTRAL: Seeks to profit by exploiting pricing inefficiencies between related equity securities, neutralizing exposure to market risk by combining long and short positions.

EVENT DRIVEN: Involves investments in opportunities created by significant corporate events, such as spin-offs, mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy reorganizations, recapitalizations and share buybacks.

FIXED INCOME ARBITRAGE: Investment strategy that seeks to exploit pricing inefficiencies in fixed income securities and their derivative instruments. Typical investment will involve a long position in a fixed income security or related instrument that is perceived to be undervalued, and a short position in a similar, related fixed income security or related instrument. Fixed income arbitrage includes basis trading, inter-market spreads, yield curve trading, relative-value options and financing strategies.

HEDGE FUND: A variety of pooled investment vehicles loosely regulated and not registered under federal securities laws as public corporations, investment companies, or broker-dealers. Hedge funds differ substantially in their investment objectives, use of different financial instruments, exposure to various markets and risk and return objectives. Other generally accepted attributes include the ability to use leverage, use of short sales to mitigate or increase risk and performance based compensation schedules.

Appendix: Glossary (cont’d)

HEDGE FUND OF FUNDS: An investment company that invests in hedge funds - rather than investing in individual securities.

HIGH WATERMARK: The highest peak in value that an investment fund has reached. This term is often used in the context of fund manager compensation. For example, a $1,000,000 investment is made in year 1 and the fund declines by 50%, leaving $500,000 in the fund. In year 2, the fund returns 100%, bring the investment value back to $1,000,000. If a fund has a high watermark, it will not take incentive fees on the return in year 2, since the investment has never grown. The fund will only take incentive fees if the investment grows above the initial level of $1,000,000.

HURDLE RATE: The minimum investment return a fund must exceed before a performance allocation/incentive fee can be taken.

INCENTIVE FEE: The fee on new profits earned by the fund for the period. For example, if the initial investment was $1,000,000 and the fund returned 25% during the period (creating profits of $250,000) and the fund has an incentive fee of 20%, then the fund receives 20% of the $250,000 in profits, or $50,000.

LEVERAGE: Money borrowed to increase the amount of money invested to more than 100 % of the fund net asset value. Usually done to increase buying power and to increase exposure to an investment.

LOCK UP: Time period that initial investment cannot be redeemed from the fund.

LOSS CARRYFORWARD: A "carryforward" arises when a loss or tax credit is not fully used in the current period and, as a result, the unused portion may be used to offset any future capital gains.

MACRO: Involves investments in a wide variety of strategies and instruments, often assuming a directional posture based on the manager’s top-down global approach. Macro managers make bets on anticipated price movements of stock markets, interest rates, foreign exchange and physical commodities.

MAXIMUM DRAWDOWN: The worst period of "peak to valley" performance for the fund, regardless of whether or not the drawdown consisted of consecutive months of negative performance.

MERGER ARBITRAGE: Involves investments in leveraged buy-outs, mergers, hostile takeovers, and other special situations, which alter a company’s financial structure or operating strategy.

MULTI-STRATEGY: Investment style which allocates investment capital to a variety of investment strategies, although the fund is run by one management company.

49

Appendix: Glossary (cont’d)

NAV: Net asset value per share – the market value of a fund share. Equals the closing market value of all securities within a portfolio plus all other assets such as cash, subtracting all liabilities (including fees and expenses), then dividing the result by the total number of shares outstanding.

NET EXPOSURE: Net exposure measures how much a fund is exposed to market risk. For a long/short equity fund, if a fund is 100% long and 50% short, then the net exposure is 50%.

PAIRS TRADING: Non-directional relative value investment strategy that seeks to identify two companies with similar characteristics whose equity securities are currently trading at a price relationship that is out of their historical trading range. Investment strategy will entail buying the undervalued security, while short-selling the overvalued security.

PRIME BROKER: The principal brokerage firm with which an investment fund does business. Prime brokers may provide custodial, clearing and research services, as well as supply the stocks a manager borrows to sell short.

R SQUARED (R2): A statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund’s or security’s movements that are explained by movements in a benchmark index.

RELATIVE VALUE ARBITRAGE: Involves the simultaneous purchase and sale of similar securities to exploit pricing discrepancies.

SHARPE RATIO: A measure of risk-adjusted return that signifies the amount of return for each unit of risk. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the managers’ return and dividing by the standard deviation. The higher the Sharpe Ratio the better the returns are on a risk-adjusted basis.

SHORT REBATE: Managers who borrow stocks to sell short are responsible for the dividends those stocks would pay. Proceeds from short sales are typically invested in a Treasury-bill account, held with the prime broker as collateral. Depending on negotiations, much of the interest the Treasury-bill account generates is rebated to the manager.

SHORT SELLING: Involves a short position in a security; a technique used to take advantage of an anticipated price decline.

STANDARD DEVIATION: A statistical measurement of the variation of returns around a portfolio’s average return over a designated time period. Investors may examine historical standard deviation in conjunction with historical returns to decide whether a fund's volatility would have been acceptable given the returns it would have produced. A higher standard deviation indicates a wider dispersion of past returns and thus greater historical volatility. Standard deviation does not indicate how the fund actually performed but merely indicates the volatility of its returns over time.

STATISTICAL ARBITRAGE: Statistical arbitrage players use historical statistical data to identify mis-pricings among securities that have some correlation among each other and try to benefit from market movements that close the gap.

Risks to consider when making hedge fund investment s� Limited liquidity

– invested capital is generally accessible for redemption only on a quarterly or annual basis

� Volatility

– investment strategies used by the investment adviser and/or portfolio managers, utilizing futures, options and short sales, can be highly volatile

� Loss of capital

– investors can lose up to the full amount of their invested capital

� Leverage

– hedge funds often use leverage, sometimes at significant levels, to enhance potential returns

� Dependence on manager

– the Fund’s success is dependent on the investment manager to develop and successfully implement investment strategies that meet investment objectives

� Limited transparency

– with little or no public market coverage, investors must rely on the investment manager for periodic information

� Conflicts of interest

– the investment adviser and/or portfolio managers could be subject to various conflicts of interest, which could influence how those portfolio managers invest the Fund’s assets
