Manager trading example 2014 Themes: Changing Forward Expectations GB 1y1y vs. US 1y1y 6/19
What has worked, and what hasn t What has worked Our manager selection was strong with the portfolio outperforming the indices in almost every strategy. Tactical Trading strategies were particularly strong Protection in down markets Actively trading the portfolio: What has not worked The rotation within equity markets in March and April was hurting one of our main bets in the portfolio: stock picking Contribution outside of Tactical and Fundamental strategies was positive but somewhat muted Added to LSE after the rotation Adding to funds hit by the sell off in October We have added new managers to the platform, some through seeding deals which broadened the universe and reduces costs We have further diversified the investor base We have partnered with managed account platforms in order to bring down fees and broaden the investment universe 7/19

Outlook Some key themes for 2015 Fed hiking rates European and Japanese monetary easing Lower oil prices and its impact European elections/politics Emerging Markets Soucres: Bloomberg, Credit Suisse, Balyasny AM 17/19
Investment Risks of UCITS funds Potential underperformance of UCITS Fund of Hedge Funds in comparison to traditional Fund of Hedge Funds due to higher liquidity and regulatory restrictions. Relatively high fees of the underlying UCITS funds for their expected rate of return. However, the average fees of the UCITS funds in CS (Lux) PRIMA funds are lower (average Management Fee of 1.3%, average Performance Fee of 15%) than their respective Cayman vehicles. Short track record of most of the Hedge Funds in a UCITS format. We do not know yet the behavior of UCITS III funds in a liquidity crisis problematic in a liquidity crisis are UCITS funds in less liquid strategies. Expected return is no is no projection, prediction or guarantee for future performance, and there is no certainty that the expected return will be reached. 18/19
