Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
The Adviser seeks to capitalize on pricing anomalies arising from transitory and structural shifts in
Asia’s economic, financial and business operating environment. The Adviser engages in systematic
trading strategies designed to exploit market disparities stemming from transitive factor lags and
temporary dislocations arising from intraregional biases and inefficiencies in a predetermined
universe of large capitalization Asian securities.
The Adviser’s investment process incorporates a targeted analysis of idiosyncratic factors that can
influence the prices of those securities. Among the factors considered are liquidity flows into,
within and out of the region, increases or decreases in available shares, analyst
estimate/recommendation changes, and shifts in local and international investor sentiment and
preferences. The Adviser seeks to maintain real-time data on such factors through its extensive
modeling.
The Adviser attempts to identify investment opportunities through an internal, systematic
screening process, utilizing available data gathered throughout the Adviser’s network. All
potential opportunities are vetted via fundamental checks before inclusion into the portfolio to
avoid conflicting signals.
The Adviser may employ fundamental long or short positions in equities, fixed income instruments,
derivatives or currencies; relative value strategies across companies, industry sectors, market indices
and countries; or any other strategy or combination of strategies, as appropriate, in its attempt to
maximize risk-adjusted returns for investors.
The Adviser uses a combination of
expected volatility, return profile and expected time horizons to construct the portfolio. The Adviser
seeks to: maintain a stable portfolio that behaves according to expected variance; identify and
quantify factor slippage and other risks; and, ensure high levels of liquidity with a large-cap basis.
The Adviser actively monitors the portfolio on a real-time basis for changes in investment
assumptions, risk characteristics/parameters, industry and currency sensitivity/beta and performance
attributions.
The Adviser provides investment advice to clients on derivative transactions, taking into
consideration: the available instruments; discussions with and information provided by private
issuers of such instruments; financial and contractual terms of the derivative instruments as well as
the financial situations of the client.
The description provided above is a brief overview of the investment strategy and is not intended to
be complete. All investing involves a risk of loss and the investment strategy offered by the Adviser
could lose money over short or even long periods. The Adviser’s strategies utilize investment
techniques such as options, futures, derivatives, margin transactions and short sales, which practices
can, in certain circumstances, maximize the adverse impact to which the clients may be subject. The
Adviser’s strategy generally involves frequent trading of securities, which can impact investment
performance, particularly through increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes.
The Adviser primarily invests in securities issued by issuers having significant exposure to the Asia
region. Due to this emphasis, the performance of client accounts will tend to be affected to a greater
extent by economic and political developments in such region than would be the case if the Adviser
emphasized a different geographic region or if the Adviser did not emphasize any geographic region.
Additionally, investments in emerging markets also involve greater risk. Emerging market
investments are often subject to higher volatility and may be less liquid than comparable developed
market investments.
The above risks are not intended to serve as an exhaustive list or comprehensive description of all
risks that may arise in connection with Apex’s investment strategy. Investors should review the
Private Fund’s Private Placement Memorandum and other governing documents to understand the
risks and potential conflicts of interests involved with Apex’s strategy.
