8. 4. Investment Philosophy Seeking to raise EUR 50 million, the fund trading program will be focused on European and US markets. The investment objective is to increase the fund’s Net Asset Value by investing in stocks, bonds, structured products and money market instruments, reducing risk through lower volatility by fractional use of options and futures contracts. The fund combines proprietary technical systems and discretionary trading expertise. The fund’s aim is to take profit opportunities despite rising or falling markets thanks to specific setting of risk tolerance parameters.

9. 5. Our Approach - Risk Management • Trading and hedging considerations - The Fund engages in relative value trading and intends to achieve positive absolute returns adopting long only strategy together with the protection of shorting the relative index. Positions are constantly monitored, and after a 5% movement a stop-loss level is determined to limit capital risk exposureboth on half-hour trading and long term strategy. • Volatility – Positions are reviewed on a weekly basis to monitor volatility as well as correlations of volatilities between the different positions of the Fund. The Fund targets an upper limit of 0.33 volatility. Intraday liquidity is maintained by using half-hour trading techniques mainly on blue chips stocks. • Use of leverage - The Investment Manager and the Investment Advisory Team intend to lower volatility through limited use of futures contracts (max leverage ratio is 3 to 1 either long or short) and adopting strategy techniques that can involve simple or composite options. • Counterparties, diversification, asset allocation – No investment of more than 10% of gross assets is made in any one issuer. No exposure of more than 5% of gross assets to the creditworthiness of any one counterparty. Executions done with major investment banks and brokers. All transactions executed “cash against delivery”.

10. 6. Trading Strategy • The strategy combines the power of systematic computer systems with discretionary trading expertise. • Strategy exploits profit opportunities arising from rising and falling markets within set risk tolerance parameters. • The analytical system incorporates Bollinger bands, high-low breakouts, Fibonacci algorithms and a proprietary system based on risk and timing analysis, the DDS (Dynamic Decision System). • All positions have stop levels specifically calculated and adjusted for the stocks traded. • Correlation between Delta, Gamma and Theta of traded stock using the following types of options: Bull spread; Bear spread; Butterfly; Straddle; Strangle; Call/Put Ratio back-spread.
