4 What separates Sissener Canopus form traditional funds? We have taken and will take on lower risk!. We have a global mandate and have 100% flexibility to invest in those industries and regions in the world that we deem as being most attractive. We combine stocks, bonds and derivatives in the same portfolio. If we don't find anything attractive to invest in, we stay in cash. No minimum investment exposure. Lower volatility than leading stock indices through use of derivatives. The funds goal: Deliver annualized returns between 8-12% p.a. A fund with full transparency and liquidity, subject to common EUrules (UCITS 4). Daily NAV and weekly liquidity. Haakon VII s gate 1 P.O. Box 1849 Vika N-0123 Oslo Tel: Fax:

5 What is absolute return? Unlike traditional asset managers, that aim to outperform a benchmark (an reference index like for instance Oslo Stock Exchange, S&P 500, Dow Jones), absolute return utilizes different strategies to create a positive return independent of underlying markets. This implies that the manager seeks to maximize the risk-adjusted return and has the flexibility to invest in bank deposits, derivatives, bonds and stocks in order to optimize the funds return with a balanced risk. Absolute return Alfred Winslow (USA) 1949 Is recognized as the father of absolute return and created the first hedge fund which delivered positive return in 31 of 34 years. It is worth noting that traditional mutual funds always have to be minimum 80-90% invested in the markets. With other words they lack the mandate and tools to avoid overpriced markets, and consequently they time from time suffer big drawdowns. Haakon VII s gate 1 P.O. Box 1849 Vika N-0123 Oslo Tel: Fax:
