Fund Description

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by attempting to outperform the returns of a variety of macro investment strategies. Macro based strategies aim to exploit macro-economic imbalances across the globe. Macro based strategies may be implemented through a broad range of asset classes including, but not limited to, equities, fixed income, currency and commodities. The Fund will seek to outperform the returns of various macro based investment strategies, such as, among others, systematic diversified, discretionary thematic, active trading, commodity, currency and multi-strategy. Descriptions of these macro based investment strategies are provided below:

1) Systematic diversified - seeks to identify opportunities in markets exhibiting trending or momentum characteristics across individual instruments or asset classes. Systematic diversified strategies typically employ a quantitative process using mathematical, algorithmic or technical models with little or no influence of individuals responsible for deciding the Fund positions that track this strategy.
2) Discretionary thematic - employs a top down analysis of macroeconomic variables. This strategy relies on individuals to evaluate market data, relationships and influences. Discretionary thematic strategies seek exposure to developed and emerging markets and include equity, fixed income and currency investments. Discretionary thematic strategies typically contain contrarian or volatility focused components.
3) Active trading - uses active trading methods, typically with high frequency position turnover or leverage. Active trading strategies emphasize rapid market response to new information and high volume turnover in liquid, but volatile, positions.
4) Commodity - seeks to identify opportunities in markets exhibiting trending or momentum characteristics across commodity asset classes, and frequently may also include exposure to commodity sensitive equities. Commodity strategies seek exposure to developed and emerging markets and include equity, fixed income and currency investments. Commodity strategies are often implemented using derivatives.
5) Currency - seeks to identify opportunities in markets exhibiting trending or momentum characteristics across various currencies, and frequently include exposure to sovereign bonds. Currency strategies seek exposure to currencies in developed and emerging markets and may include equity, fixed income and currency investments.
6) Multi-strategy - focuses on the fundamental relationship across geographic areas within and among various asset classes. Multi-strategy strategies employ systematic, quantitative evaluation of macroeconomic variables and employ some combination of systematic diversified, discretionary thematic, active trading, commodity and currency strategies.

The Fund expects to gain exposure to these investment strategies and asset classes primarily through exchange-traded products, such as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) and mutual funds, including affiliated funds. The Fund will also make significant use of swaps and other derivative instruments to gain exposure to one or more asset classes, individual investments or investment strategies, as well as to generate leverage or hedge the Fund’s exposure to an asset class, individual investment or group of investments. Other derivative instruments that may be utilized by the Fund include options, futures, options on futures and forward contracts. The Fund may also invest directly in equities, fixed income securities and currencies.

The Fund’s equity exposure may include exposure to both U.S. and non-U.S. common stocks and preferred stocks of any size market capitalization. The Fund’s fixed income exposure may include exposure to securities issued by governments, government-related entities or public and private companies. The Fund may seek exposure to fixed income instruments that are rated either investment grade or below investment grade (i.e., junk bonds). There are no maturity limitations on the securities held by the Fund. The Fund may establish both long and short positions in equity, fixed income and derivative instruments. The types of swaps in which the Fund may invest include, among others, total return, index, interest rate, credit default and volatility swaps. The Fund may also invest in swaps having payments linked to the returns of indices, individual securities or pooled investment vehicles, including limited partnerships, limited liability companies, offshore corporations and commodity pools (collectively, “Underlying Pools”). There is no limit on the Fund’s exposure to foreign companies, foreign governments or foreign currencies, and the Fund’s foreign exposure may include exposure to emerging markets. The term “emerging markets” as used herein refers to those countries which the Adviser considers to be emerging market or frontier emerging market countries. Such countries may change over time.

In constructing the Fund’s investments, the Adviser employs proprietary techniques and models to evaluate the drivers of performance of private funds that utilize systematic diversified, discretionary thematic, active trading, commodity, currency and multi-strategy strategies. The Adviser then identifies investments that it believes have similar drivers of performance to attempt to produce returns that correlate with, but are not identical to, the returns of the private funds tracked by the Adviser. The Adviser then determines the appropriate percentage that each particular investment strategy should represent of the entire Adviser and weights the exposure to that investment strategy accordingly. The private fund returns on which the Adviser’s models are based are pulled from various sources and do not represent the returns of the entire universe of private funds that utilize macro strategies. The private funds returns tracked by the Adviser, the factors driving those returns and the percentage weightings assigned by the Adviser to each investment strategy are all expected to change over time.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly-owned and controlled Cayman Islands subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) to gain exposure to certain commodity-linked investments such as commodity futures, options and swap contracts. The Fund may hold investments with commodity exposure outside of the Subsidiary and, therefore it is possible the Fund’s exposure to commodities could exceed 25%. The Subsidiary may also hold cash, money market instruments, including affiliated and unaffiliated money market funds and other fixed income instruments to serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary’s derivative positions.

Investments in the Subsidiary are intended to provide the Fund with exposure to commodities markets within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. The investment policies of the Subsidiary are the same as the investment policies of the commodity strategies sleeve of the Fund. The Subsidiary is subject to substantially the same investment restrictions and limitations, including asset coverage requirements, as are applicable to the commodity strategies sleeve of the Fund and will follow substantially the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund, to the extent they are applicable. The Fund owns 100% of the Subsidiary’s interests.

The derivatives held by the Fund will fluctuate from time to time but collectively could represent economic exposure as high as or higher than 50% of the total assets of the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund and the Subsidiary may maintain a substantial amount of their assets in cash and cash equivalents as required margin for futures contracts, as required segregation under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and to collateralize swap exposure.

The Fund may also invest in ETFs, ETNs or mutual funds that invest in swaps and other derivatives to a significant degree but will not be required to segregate Fund assets in connection with these investments.
