Fund Description

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by allocating its assets among equity, debt, precious metals and cash investments in markets around the globe. Subject to the allocation targets below, the combination of the Fund’s investments will vary from time to time both with respect to the types of securities and markets, in response to changing market and economic trends. In deciding between equity and debt investments, the Fund utilizes a “quantamental” approach, which combines quantitative and fundamental research. The quantitative process identifies opportunities for growth with the fundamental approach identifying changes not captured by the quantitative research, such as regulatory environment and industry dynamics. As markets are not static and go through various stages, the Fund seeks to identify the current stage in each market in which it invests and makes investment decisions accordingly, in order to capitalize on the underlying factors driving that particular market stage. The Fund aims to reduce volatility and risk through diversifying its investment choices across a wide range of industries, sectors and geographic areas.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to allocate its assets within the following ranges:

Equity investments: net exposure of 25-80% of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”)

Debt investments: net exposure of 10-55% of the Fund’s NAV

Precious metals investments: net exposure of 0-15% of the Fund’s NAV

The Fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalents, which include U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of three months or less.

The Fund’s net exposure generally equals the notional value of its long positions (i.e., assets purchased and still held) minus the notional value of its short positions (e.g., hedges to its long positions through derivatives).

Equity Investments: Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stock issued by companies of any market capitalization (including initial public offerings (“IPOs”)), American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Chiron Investment Management, LLC (“Chiron” or the “Adviser”), the Fund’s investment adviser, uses a quantamental approach to equity selection. The quantitative process will consider factors, including earnings quality, capital deployment, valuation and market reaction, to determine: which style of equities are attractive (growth (i.e., investing in equity securities of companies that Chiron believes will increase their earnings at a certain rate that is generally higher than the rate expected for non-growth companies), value (i.e., focusing on companies with stocks that Chiron believes appear undervalued) or growth at a reasonable price (also known as “GARP,” which is a combination of growth and value styles)) and which particular issues are attractive within each style. Fundamental research then further investigates the particular issues for information and changes that quantitative research cannot capture including management behavior, regulatory environment and industry dynamics. The melding of this process contributes to the decision as to which securities are selected for the Fund and the appropriate weighting each should have within the Fund.

Debt Investments: The Fund may invest in any type of debt security without regard to credit ratings or time to maturity, including corporate bonds, convertible bonds, including contingent convertible bonds, structured notes, credit-linked notes, inflation protected securities, loan assignments and participations, high yield (or “junk”) bonds, distressed securities, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, “to-be-announced” transactions (“TBA Transactions”), and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities with maturities greater than three months, by foreign governments or international agencies or supranational entities. The Fund may also invest in preferred stocks, which are treated as debt securities for purposes of the above ranges. The Fund may invest an unlimited amount of its fixed income assets in high

yield bonds, loan assignments and participations and distressed securities. The debt securities in which the Fund invests may include fixed rate or floating rate debt securities. Chiron also uses a quantamental approach to debt instrument selection. The quantitative process is used to screen for attractive corporate attributes, including earnings quality, capital deployment, valuation and market reaction. Fundamental analysis is then used to judge the relative pricing of debt instruments based on market conditions. Chiron may also seek to invest in sovereign debt securities with different maturities to help change and manage the duration in the Fund’s fixed income portfolio. Chiron uses a fundamental top-down process in evaluating issuers relative to political, economic, socioeconomic and market pricing dynamics.

Precious Metals Investments: The Fund’s precious metals (including, but not limited to, gold, silver and platinum) investments include investments in equity and debt securities of precious metals-based companies (i.e., companies that explore for, extract, process or deal in precious metals) and investments in commodity futures contracts, other commodity-related derivative instruments and ETFs that invest in commodities and commodity-related derivative instruments.

The Fund has no geographic limits on where its investments may be located. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may allocate a substantial portion of its assets to non-U.S. securities, including a net exposure up to 25% of the Fund’s NAV in emerging market issuers. An emerging market country is any country determined by Chiron to have an emerging market economy. Typically, emerging markets are in countries that are in the process of industrialization, with lower gross national products than more developed countries. The Fund also may invest in non-U.S. currencies, cash equivalents or bank deposits. The Fund may invest in A-Shares of companies based in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange through the Shanghai – Hong Kong and Shenzhen – Hong Kong Stock Connect programs (“Stock Connect”). Stock Connect is a mutual stock market access program designed to, among other things, enable foreign investments in the PRC.

The Fund may use derivatives, including options, futures, swaps and currency forward contracts, to attempt to both increase the return of the Fund and hedge (protect) the value of the Fund’s assets. The Fund may use options to create long or short equity exposure without investing directly in equity securities, while it may

use futures to create long or short equity, fixed income, or U.S. Treasury exposure without investing directly in equity, fixed income or U.S. Treasury securities. The Fund may also use swaps to create long or short exposure without investing directly in the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in swaps may, from time to time, be significant. As well, the Fund may use currency forwards to increase or decrease exposure to a given currency.

The Fund may seek to gain exposure to certain markets, including precious metals and other commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in the Chiron Capital Allocation Fund Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary, unlike the Fund, may have significant exposure to commodities through investments in commodity futures contracts, other commodity-related derivative instruments and pooled investment vehicles that invest in commodities and commodity-related derivative instruments (collectively, “Commodity-Related Investments”). The Subsidiary may also invest in other instruments in which the Fund is permitted to invest, either as investments or to serve as margin or collateral for its derivative positions. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is advised by Chiron.
