Market Opportunities / Anchor Investor • Broad global network and strict selection criteria help identify diverse set of highly experienced managers • Some strong teams with sub-optimal assets under management would welcome an experienced anchor investor • CAP negotiates fee discounts for investors and possibly fee revenue share • Justify cost and time of a Fund structure instead of managed accounts for family money • Invest to “top-up to 100M” generates acceleration of AUM growth and fee income • Anchor-investor status ensures transparency and specific trade ideas

  9. Money Market and Cash Management • Having managed in excess of EUR15Bn as head of Commerzbank’s money market funds, in various forms of funds, CAP has the expertise to organise liquidity management for you • Money Market funds may be screened to attain the best risk reduction whilst preserving the most consistent return with objectives • A modified version of the CAP Euro Alpha Fund may be created in which no deviation of the benchmark is initiated, the return of this fund will be LIBOR based and it’s credit risk is limited to the clearing houses of the futures

  10. Global Portfolio Risk Assessment • CAP has in the past been hired to perform global portfolio risk assessment and recommendation missions • On a monthly or quarterly basis, CAP may run an analysis of exposure areas such as concentration, inflation, volatility, beta, interest rates, currencies, depository banks and credit on your global portfolio • Recommendations will be made, including specific trade strategies and sizing, in order to reduce, or completely alleviate these identified risks • As it pertains to the specific risk of inflation acceleration, the CAP Inflation Fund allows for optimised hedging

  11. The CAP Inflation Fund • With increased debt to GDP ratios there is a medium term risk of hyper inflation • Inflation unilaterally reduces the value of a portfolio in its first year • Methods of hedging inflation are inefficient from a risk return perspective • Gold could go down to 200 or up to 2000 • Real estate lags as rents need to be re-fixed • Shorting bond futures is at a negative carry • TIPS are backwards looking for coupon resets • The CAP Inflation Fund offers a positive carry, effective inflation hedge • For a portfolio of 100M, 7M invested in the CAP Inflation Fund will generate a 5M profit at the onset of inflation expectations • Weekly liquidity, UCIT III structure A full brochure is available for the CAP Inflation Fund

  12. The CAP Euro Alpha Fund • By construction a benchmark cash equity portfolio with a 100% short futures will generate LIBOR (+ realised dividends –expected dividends) • By relying on unbiased and strong long-only manager selection, CAP seeks generate a return over the benchmark • The CAP Euro Alpha Fund aims to deliver consistent LIBOR + alpha • The CAP Euro Alpha Fund targets returns of LIBOR + 3% • Daily liquidity, UCIT III structure with multiple currency share classes A full brochure is available for the CAP Euro Alpha Fund

  13. The CAP Risk Overlay Fund • When markets accelerate down, all asset classes suffer in portfolios • CAP has managed a special volatility overlay which aims to apply to any portfolio • CAP targets 20% to 50% returns every day in which the volatility of the markets accelerate • For a diversified portfolio, a 1% to 2% allocation to the CAP Risk Overlay Fund aims to generate 0.20% to 1.00% per event day • For an equity portfolio a 2.5% allocation to the Fund aims to generate 0.50% to 1.25% returns per event day CAP Risk Overlay Fund returning 40% per event, annual 26% cost, constant percentage rebalanced

  16. Special Distressed Opportunities • The issues affecting the financial and capital markets since the credit crisis of July ’07 have lead to: • Liquidity issues • Wide bid ask spreads • Difficulty of asset valuation • Risk of further forced sales from investor redemptions • An existing fund structure will potentially suffer from all these factors • CAP has access to managers with established expertise and track records who are willing to create a managed portfolio with specific risk parameters, time horizons and performance and risk return objectives

  17. Special Corporate Credit Opportunity • The problems of capital markets have also hindered the Investment Grade Credit bond universe • High Grade Corporate borrowers have been unable to access cash and have to repay their maturing debt with reductions in operational expenditures and cut backs in expansions • Corporations with balance sheets that a ten year old may understand have to pay large spreads to access liquidity • A managed portfolio of medium term corporate investment grade bonds should be able to deliver performances of LIBOR +200 to 500 with diversification rules which will reduce greatly risk and without recourse to leverage • CAP has access to managers able to establish and manage such a portfolio
