participating share. The performance fee percentage may vary depending on the class of the
participating shares, but is expected to be not more than 20%.

Guard Cayman may, in its sole discretion, waive, rebate or decrease the performance fee that
is payable in whole or in part, in respect of each, or any one or more class and/or series, or for

Item 8: Risk of Loss

Material Risks

A.      Risks associated with management

Risk Management

Guard Cayman applies a risk management approach that it believes is appropriate for the
Guard Macro Fund. The application of any risk management approach involves numerous
judgments and qualitative assessments. No risk management system is fail-safe, and no
assurance can be given that Guard Macro Fund’s risk control framework will achieve its
objectives. From time to time, without notice to the investors in Guard Macro Fund, Guard
Cayman may modify or change Guard Macro Fund’s risk management system and procedures.

Reliance on Guard Cayman and Key Persons

Although the directors of Guard Macro Fund (the "Directors") have the ultimate authority and
responsibility for the management of Guard Macro Fund, the decisions relating to the
investment of Guard Macro Fund's assets has been delegated to Guard Cayman. Guard Macro
Fund's expertise in trading is therefore largely dependent on the continuation of an agreement
with Guard Cayman and the services and skills of its officers and employees. The loss of
Guard Cayman's services (or that of one of its key personnel) or any key persons could
materially and negatively impact the value of Guard Macro Fund as it may lead to the loss of
the use of any proprietary investment methodology developed by Guard Cayman or any key
persons. Participating Shareholders will have no right or power to take part in the management
of Guard Macro Fund.

Furthermore, in the event that Guard Cayman were to commit a fraud, were to be negligent,
exercise poor judgment or were to intentionally or inadvertently deviate from the investment
strategy or investment restrictions, Guard Macro Fund may suffer losses and its performance
could be adversely and materially affected.

Performance Fee

The Performance Fee payable to Guard Cayman may create an incentive to make investments
that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of a Performance
Fee. Prospective investors should note that: (i) the Management Fee payable to Guard
Cayman; and (ii) the Performance Fee payable to Guard Cayman; is based in part upon
unrealised gains (as well as unrealised losses), and that such unrealized gains and losses may
never be realised by Guard Macro Fund.

Fund’s investment strategy and investment restrictions were not drafted based on arm’s length
negotiations, but instead were drafted by affiliates or service providers of Guard Macro Fund.
Because these arrangements were negotiated between related parties, their terms, including
terms relating to compensation, contractual duties, conflicts of interest and Guard Cayman’s
