For the share buyback, a fixed discount of 10% to the February 20 NAV was applied. This d to a value compression per share contributing an additional return of approximately +0.32% in April on top of the HF und PE performance. The year-to-date performance of the UBS Alternative Portfolio AG was of 6.52% as of 30 April 20. Private Equity: The AP PE portfolio year-to-date performance has increased to 9.18% as of 30th of April. In the month April the PE portfolio added 1.74% to the YTD performance. The value drivers in the portfolio were in particular Apax Europe VI, followed by Nexus India II, HarbourVest IV, and Madision Dearborn V. The portfolio is well cash-flow positive as distributions remain high and the natural phase-out of the investment activity continues. The portfolio received USD 5.2 million from distributions, which was slightly higher as in the previous month. Affinity Asia Pacific III alone distributed about a third (USD 1.72 million) of April's distributions through the sa of "Oriental Brewery". Other funds that were quite active in distributing money back to the portfolio were TA Atlantic and Pacific VI, HarbourVest IV, and Adveq Technology III. As the fund is in wind-down mode the investment activities continued to be with USD 1 million on the same low vel as in the previous months. Silverlake III, Equistone IV, and Nexus India II were responsib for more than a half of the amount cald. Hedge Fund: The performance of the hedge fund portfolio has been flat in April. The main negative contribution came from equity hedged where sector ration has continued and where especially the underperformance of small cap names has hurt performance. The credit managers have contributed positively and have done well in their credit section with basically no additional support from the markets. Trading managers did well although the segment was chalnged in April and therefore generated healthy alpha. Relative Value continued to perform positively in a steady and quiet manner.

7 Risk considerations The Fund's investment program is speculative and entails substantial risks which may place your capital at risk. An investment in the Fund includes the risks inherent in an investment in securities, as well as specific risks associated with limited liquidity, the use of verage, short sas, options, futures, derivative instruments, investments in non-u.s. securities and illiquid investments. The Fund invests largely in other unregulated hedge funds. Such a portfolio of hedge funds may increase an investor's volatility for potential losses or gains. One or more of the funds, from time to time, may invest a substantial portion of the assets managed in an industry sector. As a result, the manager's investment portfolio (as well as the Fund's) may be subject to greater risk and volatility than if investments had been made in the securities of a broader range of issues. There can be no assurances that a fund's strategy (hedging or otherwise) will be successful or that it will employ such strategies with respect to all or any portion of its portfolio. The investment funds in which the Fund invests can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation to investors, and may involve compx tax strategies. In addition, the overall performance of the Fund is dependent not only on the investment performance of individual managers, but also on the ability of the Fund's Adviser to effectively sect and allocate the Fund's assets among such managers on an ongoing basis. The Fund's portfolio may be highly veraged and the volatility of the price of its interests may be great. The Fund's fees and expenses may substantially offset the Fund's trading profits. There is no secondary market for interests in the Fund and none is expected to develop. In addition, the ability to transfer one's interest in the Fund is restricted. It is possib that the Fund will be unab to provide tax information to investors without significant delays and investors may need to seek extensions on the time to fi their tax returns at the federal, state and local vels. Interests are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Financial Service Compensation Scheme or other revant non-u.s. governmental agency. Investors should consider the Fund as a suppment to an overall investment program and should invest only if they are willing to undertake the risks involved. Endnotes Statistics definitions Volatility Volatility is measured using the standard deviation. The standard deviation is a statistical measure of the degree to which an individual value in a probability distribution tends to vary from the mean of the distribution. The greater the degree of dispersion, the greater the risk. Sharpe ratio The Sharpe ratio measures the relationship of reward to risk in an investment strategy. It is generally interpreted that a higher ratio implies lower risk. The ratio is calculated as the average revant annualized return ss the risk free return divided by the standard deviation of the return. The risk-free return is calculated as the average annualized return of a revant short-term interest rate product corresponding to the currency of the share class presented. Sortino ratio The Sortino ratio is a variation of the Sharpe ratio, which differentiates downside risk from general volatility to help measure the return relative to "harmful" volatility. The ratio is calculated as the revant annualized return ss the risk free rate divided by the loss deviation. The loss deviation focuses on negative values in a distribution and is calculated as the annualized standard deviation of negative returns.
