Participation Units Participation in the Strategy will be sub-divided

value of £1 each. The Strategy Manager may

discretion determine additional valuation points on
an ad-hoc basis.
The Strategy’s value will be determined by

the Strategy. The value of the assets and liabilities
of the Strategy will be determined in accordance
with CFML’s standard strategy valuation policy,
which is available on request and may be
published from time to time on CFML’s website.
Unit Pricing The net asset value per unit will be calculated by
dividing the net asset value of the Strategy by the
total number of units participating in the Strategy.
The Directors reserve the right to adjust the unit
price on any valuation date to reflect the
approximate true cost or value per unit
associated with any investment or redemption
from the strategy.
Publication of Unit Pricing

request from CFML. The unit price may also be
