SOUTH AFRICAN HEDGE SURVEY APRIL 2012 Licensed Financial Services Provider

Hedge fund survey commentary INET: New Entrant: Exit: We have recently entered into a business relationship with the I-Net Bridge Group to publish the monthly hedge fund index on I-Graph. This is a freely supplied submission. The Index can be sourced within the South African Hedge funds category within I-Graph. It has always been our intent to compile the index to be used as a comparison of the returns of the hedge fund industry against traditional asset class returns and this is the result of this long term intent. Underlying manager data is not divulged to I-Net for this index, only the monthly index performance return is submitted. The Fairtree Assegai fund managed by Stephen Brown has entered our survey. The fund is in the Long Short Equity category and has AUM R89 million. The Proteus Capital Freestone Fixed Income fund manager by Steyn Kuhn leaves the survey. Name Change: The High Growth mandate managed by Peregrine Capital has changed to the Peregrine High Growth en Commandite Partnership (previously the PNF High Growth fund). The track record remains as previous. The SYm metry is compiled by the SYm metry Hedge fund of hedge fund investment team. SYm metry has been managing fund of hedge fund mandates for over six years for Old Mutual Life Assurance Company and has built up a reliable and consistant trackrecord. SYm metry s hedge fund business benefits from the entire team s people skills, systems, decision-making and due diligence process.

Licensed Financial Services Provider GLOSSARY AND CONTACT DETAILS ALBI (All Bond Index) The Bond Exchange GLOSSARY Association AND CONTACT of South Africa DETAILS All Bond Index, MAY 2011 which is used as a proxy for the SA fixed interest (bond) market. ALSI (All Share Index) The FTSE/JSE All Share Index, which is used as a proxy for the SA equity market. The index consists of the largest 160 stocks on the JSE, weighted according to their free float market caps. Correlation A statistical measure of how two securities move in relation to each other. Correlation is computed into what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. Perfect positive correlation (a correlation co-efficient of +1) implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security will move in lockstep, in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if one security moves in either direction the security that is perfectly negatively correlated will move by an equal amount in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the movements of the securities are said to have no correlation; they are completely random. Drawdown (Largest) The biggest cumulative (peak to trough) loss the fund has experienced since inception. Fixed Income Category Managers in this category generate profit by exploiting opportunities in fixed interest securities and derivatives. Funds Smaller Than R10 Million Category This category is for all funds with less than R10 million in assets. These funds are listed seperately to distinguish them from the larger and more established funds. Leverage (Max) Leverage is calculated as the sum of the absolute value of total long exposure and total short exposure of the fund divided by the fund size. Leverage is used as an indication of the fund s exposure relative to its size. Leverage is sometimes also referred to as Total Gross Exposure or Gearing. % Pos Months The percentage of months that the fund had positive returns. Return Calculations All return calculations are based on time weighted returns from monthly data, are net of fees and are annualised for periods longer than 1 year (indicated by p.a.). Risk Free Return The rate of return that can be earned with almost no risk. For this survey this rate is assumed to be the return that is earned on short dated fixed interest instruments as measured by the STeFI index. Sharpe Ratio The Sharpe ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate - such as the STeFI - from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the standard deviation of the portfolio returns. The Sharpe ratio tells us whether a portfolio s returns are due to smart investment decisions or a result of excess risk. This measurement is very useful because although one portfolio or fund can reap higher returns than its peers, it is only a good investment if those higher returns do not come with too much additional risk. The greater a portfolio s Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been. A negative Sharpe ratio indicates that a risk-less asset would perform better than the security being analyzed. The Sharpe ratio does however assume a normal distribution. Single Manager Multi-Strategy Category Funds in this category combine several distinct investment strategies into one fund. Standard Deviation A measure of the dispersion of a fund s returns around its mean. Standard deviation is often also referred to as the volatility of the fund and is a common measure of risk in a fund. Funds with higher standard deviations have more uncertain returns than funds with lower standard deviations. Long-Short Equity Category Funds in this category generate profit by exploiting opportunities in the equity and equity derivatives market. Managers can hold both long and short positions in these securities and can actively manage the net equity market exposure of the fund depending on market conditions. Market Neutral Category Funds in this category generate profit by exploiting opportunities in the equity and equity derivatives market. Managers aim to neutralise directional market risk by combining long and short positions in broadly equal amounts. STeFI Index (Short Term Fixed Interest Index) The STeFI index measures the performance of various short-term fixed interest instruments (max maturity of 1 year). Sortino Ratio The Sortino ratio measures the downside risk-adjusted return of the fund. It is calculated by deducting the risk free return from the fund return. The result is then divided by the fund s downside deviation from the risk free rate. Omega Ratio The Omega ratio is a measure of risk of an investment asset, portfolio or strategy. It involves partitioning returns into loss and gain above and below a given threshold (in this case STeFI), the ratio is then the ratio of the probability of having a gain divided by the probability of having a loss Trading Category Funds in this category generate profit by trading mainly in derivatives and indices rather than individual securities. Investment opportunities are identified using technical or quantitative systems and the funds are often traded very actively.
