31 FAISAct Hedge Fund FSP risk disclosures 1.The risks and characteristics contained in this schedule and outlined immediately hereunder represent some of the more general risk and characteristics prevalent in hedge fund portfolios.the list below should not be seen as exhaustive. As more risk and characteristics are identified that were notinitially mentioned in this schedule, then such risk and characteristics will, as they become prevalent, be included herein. 1.1Investment strategies may be inherently risky Hedge fund strategies may include leverage, short-selling and short term investment. In addition, hedge fund portfolios often invest in unlisted instruments, low-grade debt, foreign currency and other exotic instruments. All of these expose investors to additional risk. However, not all hedge fund managersemploy any or all of these strategies and it is recommended that investors consult their advisers in order to determine which strategies are being employed by the relevant manager and which consequent risk arise. 1.2 Leverage usually means higher volatility Hedge fund manager may use leverage. This means that the hedge fund manager borrows additional funds, or trades on margin, inorder to amplify his investment decisions. This means that the volatility of the hedge fund portfolio can be many times that of the underlying investments. The degree to which leverage may be employed in any given hedge fund portfolio will be limited by the mandate the client has with the manager. The limits laid down by the mandate should be carefully reviewed in making an investment decision. 1.3 Short-selling can lead to significant losses Hedge fund management may borrow securities in order to sell them short, in the hope that the price of the underlying instrumentwill fall. Where the price of the underlying instrument rises, the client can be exposed to significant losses, given that the manager is forced to buy securities (to deliver to the purchaser under the short sale) at high prices. 1.4 Unlisted instruments might be valued incorrectly Hedge fund manager may invest in unlisted instrument s where a market value is not determined by willing buyers and sellers. The hedge fund manager may have to estimate the value of such instruments, and these estimates may be inaccurate, leading to an incorrect impression of the fund`s value. Investors should ensure that objective valuations are performed for all instruments in a portfolio and that the manager utilizes the services of a competent administrator. 1.5 Fixed income instruments may be low-grade Hedge fund managers may invest in low-grade bonds and other fixed interest investments. These investments are more likely to suffer from defaults on interest or capital. They are also more likely to have volatile valuations when the market changes its view on credit risk. The mandate should also limit the extent (i.e. lowest acceptable rating and maximum percentage exposure) to which low grade debt can be acquired by the client. Investor should review the mandate to gain an appreciation of the maximum possible exposure applicable to the relevant mandate. 1.6 Exchange rates could turn against the fund A hedge manager might invest in currencies other than the base currency. For example, a South Africa hedge fund manager mightinvest in UK or US shares. The portfolio is therefore exposed to the risk of the rand strengthening or the foreign currency weakening. 1.7 Other complex investments might be misunderstood In addition to the above, hedge fund managers might invest in instruments such as but not limited to futures, forward, swaps,options and contracts for difference. Many of these will be derivatives, which could increase volatility. Many will be over-the-counter, which could increase counterparty risk. Many exotic instruments may also be challenging for the manager to administer and account for properly. Investor should enquire into how these instruments are objectively and independently valued. 31

32 FAISAct Hedge Fund FSP risk disclosures 1.8 The client may be caught in a liquidity squeeze Given their often short term nature, hedge fund managers need to be able to disinvest from or close certain positions quicklyand efficiently. But market liquidity is not always stable, and if liquidity were to decrease suddenly, the hedge fund managers might be unable to disinvest from or close such positions rapidly or at a good price, which may lead to losses. 1.9 The prime broker or custodian may default Hedge fund managers often have special relationships with so-called prime brokers. These are stock-brokers that provide the required leveraging and shorting facilities. Prime brokers usually require collateral for these facilities, which collateral is typical provided using assets of the relevant client, and consequently such collateral might be at risk if the prime broke were to default in some way. A similar situation could with the custodian of the client`s funds Regulations could change Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the investor`s investment in a hedge fund portfolio that mayadversely affect it. The effect of my future legal, tax and regulatory change or any future count decision on a hedge fund portfolio could be substantial and adverse Past performance might be theoretical Hedge fund portfolios are on occasion marketed using theoretical or paper track records. Past performance is seldom a reliable indicator of future performance. Theoretical past performance is often an even less reliable indicator, and investor s should place on these The manager may be conflicted The hedge fund manager might be managing other hedge fund portfolios or other traditional investment fund. The investor should ensure that sufficient controls are in place to manage any conflicts of interest between the different funds. 2. The other differences in hedge fund portfolios 2.1 Hedge fund structures are often complex As mentioned above, hedge fund structures are not fully regulated and they are often housed in legal structures not originally meant for pooled funds, for example partnership and companies. Given the many risks listed above, investors need to ensure that any structure is robust enough to contain any unlimited losses. 2.2 Manager accountability may be vague Hedge fund portfolio are often managed by specific individuals and investors should ensure that sufficient controls are in placefor the time when the manager is being covered for by colleagues. In addition, a hedge fund structure (for example, a fund of funds) and its managers or advisors may rely on the trading and/or investing expertise and experience of third-party managers or advisors, the identity of which may not be disclosed to investors. This constitutes an additional risk for investors, which they must take into account. 2.3 Fees might be high Hedge fund structures fees may be significantly higher than the fees charged on traditional investment funds. Investments shouldbe made only where the potential returns justify the higher fees. 32

33 FAISAct Hedge Fund FSP risk disclosures 2.5 Transaction costs might be high Given the often short term nature of investment positions, hedge fund portfolios are often traded more aggressively. This implies more stock-broking commission and charges being paid from the portfolio, which is ultimately for the client`s account. Again investments should be made only where the potential returns make up for the costs. 2.6 Transparency might be low A hedge fund manager`s performance is often the result of unique proprietary strategies or contrarian investment positions. For obvious reasons, managers will want to keep these confidential. Managers are therefore less likely to disclose trades to their investors, and holding might be disclosed only in part or with a significant delay. 2.7 Dealing and reporting might be infrequent A hedge fund manager`s performance can often be disturbed by irregular cash flows into or out of the hedge fund structure. For the reason, hedge fund managers often limit the frequently of investments and withdrawals. Similarly, the manager may choose to report infrequently on performance and other statistics. Investors should ascertain, prior to investing, the nature and frequency of reporting. 2.8 Withdrawals might not be easy As mentioned above, the frequency of withdrawals might be limited to monthly or quarterly dates. In addition, the manager mayimpose notice periods or lock-ins in order to ensure that he has the necessary time for his investment positions to deliver their desired results.
