Winton's founding principal is David Harding, who has over 20 years of experience in the managed futures industry. Mr Harding was one of the co-founders of Adam, Harding & Lueck Ltd (AHL), now part of the E D & F Man Group, which is one of the world's leading futures fund advisors. Winton became registered with the United States Commodity Trading Commission ("CFTC") as a commodity trading advisor ("CTA") in January 1998 and is also a member of the National Association ("NFA"). Winton's research team has extensive academic qualifications in a range of fields including mathematics (especially statistics), operational research and actuarial science, in addition to many years of practical experience in applying these skills to financial markets research. PERFORMANCE TABLE INVESTMENT POLICY Winton's strategy is based on the assumption that in the long term, profit can be derived from the futures markets by using statistical research into market activity and as a result, research constitutes the largest area of investment in the company. Winton's investment philosophy is that specific market behaviour and trends can be identified and profitably exploited. Winton's investment technique consists of trading a portfolio of more than 120 international futures and forward markets, employing a computerized, technical, trend-following trading system developed by its principals. This system tracks the daily price movements from these markets around the world and carries out certain computations to determine each day, how long or short the portfolio should be to maximize profit within a certain range of risk.

7 MANAGER COMMENTS 01/2013 The fund generated a nice performance in January. The equity portfolio made the most significant contribution to performance, with markets in Europe and Japan rising along with their US cousins. Indications of early repayments of European Central Bank loans were greater than anticipated and from a more diverse set of institutions, including those from less well capitalised countries. In Asia, the first major policy initiative from the new Japanese government made good their promise to promote growth and end deflation, initiating a new 10.3 trillion yen stimulus package. These developments helped the short yen and long euro positions in the currency portfolio achieve large gains. A further consequence of the sustained positive sentiment has been increased focus on if, and when, monetary policy will slow and liquidity removal will start. This attention has pushed interest rates higher and reduced the value of the fixed income positions, particularly in Europe. Finally, energy prices also increased through the month, with a negative impact on the short oil and natural gas positions. 12/2012 Economic data indicated further signs of recovery in December with US employment, Chinese economic activity and even ECB balance of payments lifting investor sentiment. Global Equity markets traded higher, making a significant contribution to the portfolio's performance. American markets faced a head-wind in the final two weeks of the month as Congress and President Obama struggled to negotiate an alternative to the "Fiscal Cliff". A last minute deal was finally agreed in the early hours of New Year's Day, which saw the US markets open 2013 in a more optimistic mood. Further monetary easing and adjustments to the inflation target in Japan look increasingly likely under the new LDP government. A consequence of which has been an extension of the recent Yen sell off which helped the currency portfolio put in a strong performance during December. The gains in stock indices and currencies were partly offset by a small pull back in US fixed income and a fall in the precious metal complex which left gold trading at its lowest level since August. 11/2012 The Winton Fund returned a positive performance. Equity markets initially sold off in November but buoyed by a series of global developments perceived to encourage market stability recovered in the last two weeks, all of which left the indices broadly unchanged on the month. Central banks, with their various forms of monetary easing, remain in focus and bonds continued to trade higher, which made the most significant contribution to our portfolio. Greece simultaneously secured their next bailout instalment and improved the terms of existing loans from their international creditors. In the USA, Obama extended his presidential tenure and positive economic data has, for now, allayed fears of a hard landing in China. Also in the US, 'Black Friday' saw record retail store traffic and online sales exceed $1bn for the first time but attention has quickly switched to the negotiations required to avoid the "fiscal cliff". Some radical suggestions from the LDP party in Japan, who are favourites to win the December election, have subsequently seen the Yen trade at its lowest level for over six months, resulting in the fund's position posting strong profits. Elsewhere in the world speculation is growing that the Reserve Bank of Australia will cut rates to equal their all-time low of 3% and Canadian Mark Carney has been appointed as the next Governor of the Bank of England. All of which might have an impact on the portfolio in the short to medium term Page 7/7
