Atika Capital Management invests primarily in publicly-traded global equities, both long and short, with a particular focus on the healthcare technology/media/telecommunications (“TMT”), and consumer sectors.

Atika believes that there is a time arbitrage in certain segments of the equity market and those willing to hold positions longer can capitalize on opportunities created by the intense focus on short-term performance. Atika has developed a proprietary model to support buy or short decisions and help determine position sizing. Individual weightings are determined by probability weighted risk/reward, liquidity, and size of related holdings. Atika diversifies investments in order to manage volatility and minimize downside risk in the portfolio, though it may hold large positions (e.g., exceeding 10%) in individual equities (measured at the time of investment). Brad Farber is the Founder, Managing Member & Portfolio Manager of Atika Capital Management (“ACM”). Prior to founding ACM in September 2012, Mr. Farber served as a Portfolio Manager for Gilder, Gagnon, Howe & Co., (GGHC) an investment firm with approximately $5 billion under management, where he managed a $50 million long/short equity portfolio since January 2001.

October 2012 Opportunistic Pricewaterhouse Coopers International Fund Services Ropes & Gray $538 Million 7.9% Lomas Capital uses bottom-up, fundamental analysis and its extensive network of industry and investment contacts, in conjunction with “street” research to source potential investment ideas. The key underlying principle behind Lomas’ investment strategy is finding opportunities that have an asymmetrical risk/reward profile. Each portfolio manager and analyst has a comprehensive sector focus and a specific research methodology. Underappreciated and/or emerging themes, secular growth trends, misunderstood companies, post reorganization special situation opportunities trading at a discount to fundamental value and companies with attractive private market valuations are some characteristics that Lomas seeks in its potential positions. Specific investment opportunities will be developed through a rigorous examination of issuer and industry fundamentals and will be considered within the context of the overall macroeconomic environment. Investment opportunities will often be contrarian in nature, although the Fund’s investment strategy is not strictly wedded to either value or growth. Rather, the Investment Manager generally will employ a flexible approach which pursues investment opportunities that have the best risk/reward profile, irrespective of the investment style employed. Lomas Capital was co-founded in 2012 by Dan Lascano, Charlie LoCastro and Ron McIntosh (the “Co-Founders”). All three Co-Founders previously worked together for a decade as senior members of the Caxton Equity Group. Dan Lascano is Chief Investment Officer and Co-Founder of Lomas. He has over 21 years of investment experience where he has focused on the consumer sector, and has also invested across many sectors as a “generalist.” From 1999 to 2011, he was a Senior Managing Director and Equity Holder of Caxton Associates where he was responsible for portfolio construction and overall co-management of the equity group. Charlie LoCastro is a Senior Portfolio Manager and Co-Founder of Lomas. He has over 27 years of investment experience focusing on the industrial and material sectors. From 2002 to 2011 Mr. LoCastro was a Senior Portfolio Manager at Caxton Associates where he was responsible for, and had discretion over, investments in industrial and material stocks. Ron McIntosh is a Senior Portfolio Manager and Co-Founder of Lomas. He has over 26 years of investment experience focusing on the financial sector. From 2003 to 2011, Mr. McIntosh was a Senior Portfolio Manager at Caxton Associates where he was responsible for, and had discretion over, investments in financial stocks.

Long Pond Capital is a global long/short real estate equity fund with an intense focus on bottom up fundamental, value oriented stock picking. The fund manager uses a contrarian, private equity style approach to public equity investing and seeks to identify complex, asymmetric risk/reward opportunities in REIT's, Real Estate Operating Companies and Real Estate Related Companies. The investment team implements a rigorous research process, with a vigilant concentration on downside protection, to understand a company's balance sheet, why a security is cheap/expensive and why the security will cease to be cheap/expensive. As part of the research process, the investment team will perform in depth asset-by-asset valuations on a prospective investment, speak to private investors, lenders and real estate brokers, review similar transactions, tour assets and assess management incentives. Risk of loss is critical to each investment thesis and therefore the portfolio manager maintains an intense focus on liquidity, leverage, asset/liability mismatch and seeks out positions with embedded downside protection. John Khoury is the founder and portfolio manager of Long Pond Capital. Prior to starting Long Pond in October 2010, Mr. Khoury spent 9 years at Wesley Capital, a long short real estate hedge fund, where he progressed from analyst to co-portfolio manager (2002-2010).

The strategy is based upon a consistent, repeatable investment process focused on fundamental analysis to construct a portfolio where both longs and shorts to profitability. Independent research and conclusions are core to such a process. To generate investment ideas, the Fund draws on knowledge and experience within core industries that its investment professionals have gained over their investment careers. At times, investment ideas come from adjacent industries where observations of change in the core industries could result in investment themes in other industries. When an investment idea has been identified the portfolio manager and his team will conduct in-depth research, which includes company visits, management meetings, interviewing suppliers and customers, and analyzing competitors, with each of these efforts focused on developing an investment thesis as to why the market is misinterpreting a company’s intrinsic value.

Please see additional disclosure of Risks in the Prospectus. Control Risk – The Adviser will not have control of, or have the ability to exercise influence over, the trading policies or strategies of a Portfolio Fund. Investment decisions of the Portfolio Funds are also made independently of each other so that, at any particular time, one Portfolio Fund may be purchasing shares of an issuer whose shares are being sold at the same time by another Portfolio Fund. Transactions of this sort could result in the Fund directly or indirectly incurring certain transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result. Expense Layering Risk – In addition to its own expenses, the Fund will also bear its allocable share of the costs and expenses of each Portfolio Fund, including its allocable share of the management and incentive compensation paid to an Investment Manager. As a result, the Fund’s investments in the Portfolio Funds may result in the Fund paying higher expenses than other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies or if it invested directly in the securities held by the Portfolio Funds. Also, each Investment Manager generally will be entitled to receive a management fee of between 1% and 2% and a performance-based allocation, expected to range up to 20% of a Portfolio Fund’s net profits. Long/Short Equity Strategy Risk – The success of a long/short equity strategy is contingent upon an Investment Manager’s ability to correctly identify investment opportunities with the highest probability of success (long positions) and/or those with the highest probability of failure (short positions). Substantial losses may be recognized as a result of the implementation of this strategy. Before making an investment decision, you or your adviser should consider factors such as net worth, income, age, risk tolerance and liquidity needs in evaluating whether the Fund is a suitable investment for you. Short-term investors and investors who cannot bear the loss of some or all of their investment or the risks associated with the limited liquidity of an investment in the Fund should not invest in the Fund. 15
