STRAIGHTFORWARD INDEPENDENT FOCUSED

Cayros Symbolizes our approach Kairos (Greek καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning, a passing instant when a favourable situation appears which must be accomplished with force, if success is to be achieved. 1

Approach Our core values: trust and transparency Our principal objective is the prudent and conservative stewardship of the funds in our care We communicate our intentions clearly and keep our word We conduct business in a straightforward manner We question conventional wisdom and are suspicious of consensus We attempt to provide thoughtful responses and solutions to increasingly complex questions and problems Hidden fees are contrary to our business ethic 2

Mission Our ultimate goal: preservation of capital against the erosion of the purchasing power of money We protect your wealth from the consequences of asset deflation, the risk of expropriation, and the pernicious effects of currency debasement and taxation Our success is based on proper and suitable selection of managers and their investment strategies We work proactively by supplying you with up-to-date information to give you a better understanding of the factors which will determine success and failure We act as owners, we do not speculate with your capital We adhere to these objectives with endurance, passionate persistence, humility and a sense of personal responsibility 3CAYROS capital AG Thiersteinerallee 29 4053 Basel Switzerland

Strategy Preservation and enhancement of capital in inflation-adjusted terms We focus on selecting the most talented managers that can make money in many different market environments We are not attempting to predict the future direction of the markets The growth of your capital is important to us, but is secondary to avoiding losses We select investment ideas (i. e. funds/managers) that generally display four characteristics Are not benchmark-oriented Have a clear focus on manager skills Offer a sustainable strategic advantage Exhibit a disciplined risk management approach 4 Four reasons, why we would eliminate an investment idea Generates consistently inferior results compared to its peers Exhibits an unsustainable edge and therefore fading yields Focuses primarily on asset gathering rather than performance Superior alternatives have become available due to change in the macro-environment

Benefit A partner you can count on I am more concerned about the return of my money than the return on my money (Mark Twain) We focus on capital preservation strategies Investments in professionally selected funds Unrestricted selection of asset classes, markets, investmentand trading styles Aim at absolute returns and can assume adequate risks We assume professional responsibility for our decisions We refuse hidden fee payments and are exclusively compensated by you We offer you broad and unlimited access to our network of highly competent partners 5CAYROS capital AG Thiersteinerallee 29 4053 Basel Switzerland
