3 Overview Toronto based investment manager of equity long/short strategies Registered with OSC as a Portfolio Manager/Investment Fund Manager/ EMD Investment Advisor: NewGen Trading Fund LP NewGen Trading Fund RRSP NewGen Trading Fund Offshore Strategy AUM - C$80 million Investment Team 3 portfolio managers Generalist and resource sector focused backgrounds Complementary trading and fundamental research experience on both the Buy-Side and Sell-Side 3
4 Why NewGen? NewGen Philosophy: We fundamentally believe that equity markets are inefficient over near term time horizons. Our strategy seeks to exploit those inefficiencies to deliver a true alternative investment option to investors: Produce superior risk adjusted returns Preserve investor capital in protracted downturns truncate the downside Generate a unique return stream to diversify investor portfolios 1. Inception July 2012; performance reported net of all fees for Class A Series 1 Units; effective February 1, 2013 the Fund changed its base currency from USD to CAD, presentation of performance data prior to this date assumes USD hedged to CAD 2. The Sharpe Ratio is a hypothetical measure of excess return and the US 5-year Treasury yield is used for the risk-free rate in its calculation 3. As of presentation date, combined Assets Under Management (AUM) includes the NewGen Trading Fund, NewGen Trading Master Fund, NewGen Trading Fund LP and the Polaris Resource Trading Fund 4
5 Market Opportunity The End of Prop Desks Largely eliminated from financial institutions due to Volker Rule (prohibits banks from engaging in trading that is not at the behest of its clients) Growth of Algorithms and High Velocity Trading Creating frequent errors and price distortions Price Inefficiencies To Exploit Diminished Liability Trading Banks are now allocating far less capital for liability trading, creating less efficient markets Long Biased/Buy & Hold/Value Focused Unsophisticated Market Participants Certain sectors require specialist knowledge (i.e. mining, energy, technology, etc) 5
6 NewGen L/S Trading Strategy Employ an opportunistic long-short equity trading strategy (broad sector exposure) Ideas are derived from a bottom up approach based on fundamental research Implementation of any specific idea typically requires: a pre-determined catalyst within set time horizons profit/loss assessments liquidity analysis and an exit strategy. Fund strategies include: event-driven trades, pairs trades, IPO/secondary offering participation, index additions/deletion predictions, clean-up/block trades, momentum/technical trades and risk arbitrage. Seek to consistently monetize trading gains derived from catalysts Broad portfolio risk including net and gross exposures, sector exposure, volatility, and correlations are monitored to ensure the portfolio adheres to the Fund s mandate. Adaptive Risk Management - Ability to drastically reduce portfolio exposure in difficult market environments 6
7 Target Portfolio Composition & Characteristics Market Risk Market-neutral Long-bias Typical net exposure range -10% to 50% (avg ~30%) Alpha focus, minimal equity beta Concentration Concentrated Diverse core positions on average (long / short) 3-5% core position size Liquidity Illiquid Highly liquid Highly liquid portfolio, all positions evaluated relative to underlying liquidity (avg position size vs ADV = 5-15%) Risk Tolerance Capital preservation Capital appreciation Active risk management Target significant short attribution Leverage No leverage Use of leverage Typical gross exposure range % (avg ~150%) Bottom-up opportunity driven Turnover Passive Active Active portfolio management Expected turnover of 5-6x per year Time Horizon Short Long Trades are generally short-term in nature (i.e day holding periods) Market Cap Small-cap Large-cap Portfolio represented by all market caps, but general bias towards small and mid-caps as liquidity permits 7
8 Value Proposition Returns (14.9% Annualized) Demonstrated ability to generate performance through alpha, rather than beta Sharpe(1.7) Risk (8% SD) Strategy seeks to remove this unwanted market and systemic risk Uncorrelated Return (.29 Cor) Unique return stream uncorrelated to broad equity markets Liquid and Nimble Able to tactically move across markets, sectors and strategies depending on the market opportunities Strict adherence to liquidity bias Preserve Capital Aim to minimize downside through balanced portfolio of long & short ideas No individual oversized positions No reliance on privates or derivatives to generate return Adaptive Risk Management - quickly reduce exposures under sub-optimal market conditions 8
