Investment Process
Kenmar’s investment process is differentiated by:
• Broad and deep manager sourcing network – the result of an average of 28 years of investment experience fromthe members of its Investment Committee
• Integration of qualitative assessment and quantitative analysis, including risk budgeting and factor analysis, informulating investment decisions
• Recognition of the importance of catalysts to investment cycles and the avoidance of the “herd mentality” ofinvesting
• Portfolio construction process that combines a top-down, global perspective with a bottom-up, in-depth manageranalysis
• Focus on building risk-efficient portfolios and proactively managing diversification
• Seeking to avoid stacking risk by building portfolios with the fewest number of managers necessary toaccomplish the mandate’s objectives
• A never-wavering use of common sense as the ultimate decision-maker in our investment process

Risk Management Philosophy
• Being risk aware, not risk averse, is a key objective
Kenmar integrates risk analysis and management into every step of the investment process.
• Idiosyncratic risks should be embraced; systematic risks must be proactively managed
• Transparency and liquidity can improve the management of hedge fund risk
• Risk monitoring is a proactive process including ongoing monitoring of managers and the portfolio as a whole
14www.kenmar.com Email: [email protected]
Qualitative Market Risk
We must first understand the qualitative risk of each manager.
Kenmar reviews how the manager
• Qualitatively looks at risk
• Quantifies risk internally
• Implements risk-reducing policies
Kenmar also reviews each portfolio’s
• Liquidity
• L• Leverage
• General risk characteristics
• Hedging strategies and effectiveness
• M k t t t di d h t iti t• Market structure, crowding and short position management
Kenmar also compares these features to the strategy being implemented.

Disclosures
The Kenmar Products discussed herein (the “Products”) may be accessed through a private investment vehicle commonly known as a hedge fund or commodity pool (collectively “Funds”). As part of itsinvestment strategy, the Products may be accessed through investments in other Funds and/or separately managed accounts managed by third-party managers or advisors (“Accounts”). The CLariTyManaged Account & Analytics Platform discussed herein (the “Platform”) provides access to third-party commodity trading advisors and hedge fund managers through separately managed accounts(“Accounts”) structured as Funds. Funds are unregistered private investment partnerships, funds or pools that may invest and trade in many different markets, strategies and instruments (includingsecurities, commodity interests and derivatives) and are NOT subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, including mutual fund requirements to provide certain periodic andstandardized pricing and valuation information to investors. Accounts may also invest and trade in a wide variety of investment instruments and are similarly unregistered and NOT subject to the samestandardized pricing and valuation information to investors. Accounts may also invest and trade in a wide variety of investment instruments and are similarly unregistered and NOT subject to the sameregulatory requirements as mutual funds. There are substantial risks in investing in Funds and Accounts. These risks are applicable to the underlying Funds or Accounts in which the Products mayinvest, as well as to the Products themselves. You should carefully note the following:
An investment in the Products, as well as the Products’ investment in a Fund or Account, involves a high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The Products are speculative andinvestors may lose all or a substantial portion of their investment. Investors must have the financial ability, sophistication/experience and willingness to bear the risks of such an investment. Aninvestment in the Products, a Fund or an Account should be discretionary capital set aside strictly for speculative purposes. Investors must meet the definition of a qualified purchaser (generally anindividual or a family entity with at least $5 million in qualified investments or any other entity with at least $25 million in qualified investments). Funds (including the Products) are illiquid investments andmay be subject to significant restrictions regarding transfers. There is no secondary market for an investment in a Fund (including the Products) and none is expected to develop. Offering documentsy j g g g y ( g ) p p gare not reviewed or approved by federal or state regulators. The Products, a Fund or an Account may have substantial fees and expenses, which may offset the trading profits of the Products or suchFund or Account. The Products, Fund or an Account also may use leverage, execute a substantial portion of trades on foreign exchanges and trade commodity interests. The risk of loss from suchactivities is substantial and may increase the volatility of performance. There is no guarantee that the Products, a Fund or an Account will achieve their goals, objectives, or targeted returns. TheProducts, a Fund or an Account may have little or no operating history or performance and may use hypothetical or pro forma performance, which may not reflect actual trading done by the Products’investment manager (the “Investment Manager”) or the underlying manager or trading advisor. Investors should not place undue reliance on hypothetical or pro forma performance. Funds (including theProducts) are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors. The manager or trading advisor for a Fund or an Account has total trading authority over such Fund’s orAccount’s investment Products and may be subject to various conflicts of interest. The managers or trading advisors for a Fund or an Account may rely on a single advisor or employ a single strategy(which could mean a lack of diversification and higher risk) or may rely on the trading expertise and experience of multiple third-party managers/advisors, the identity of which may not be disclosed to( g ) y y g p p p p y g , y yinvestors. Funds and Accounts (including the Products) are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds and they are not guaranteed by the FDIC or by any bank and they may losevalue.

Hypothetical Pro-Forma Performance
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNTWILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCERESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.
ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICALTRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOREXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSOADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFICTRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECTACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
THE KENMAR PRODUCTS HAVE HAD LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE IN TRADING ACTUAL ACCOUNTS FOR ITSELF OR FOR CUSTOMERS. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ACTUAL TRADINGTHE KENMAR PRODUCTS HAVE HAD LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE IN TRADING ACTUAL ACCOUNTS FOR ITSELF OR FOR CUSTOMERS. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ACTUAL TRADINGRESULTS TO COMPARE TO THE HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS, CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE PARTICULARLY WARY OF PLACING UNDUE RELIANCE ON THESE HYPOTHETICALPERFORMANCE RESULTS.
THIS COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD IS HYPOTHETICAL AND THESE TRADING ADVISORS HAVE NOT TRADED TOGETHER IN THE MANNER SHOWN IN THE COMPOSITE.HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY MULTI-ADVISOR MANAGED ACCOUNT OR POOL WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE A COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD SIMILAR TO THAT SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARPDIFFERENCES BETWEEN A HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD AND THE ACTUAL RECORD SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED.
ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF A HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD IS THAT DECISIONS RELATING TO THE SELECTION OF TRADING ADVISORS AND THE ALLOCATIONOF ASSETS AMONG THOSE TRADING ADVISORS WERE MADE WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT BASED UPON THE HISTORICAL RATES OF RETURN OF THE SELECTED TRADINGADVISORS. THEREFORE, COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORDS INVARIABLY SHOW POSITIVE RATES OF RETURN. ANOTHER INHERENT LIMITATION ON THESE RESULTS IS THAT THEALLOCATION DECISIONS REFLECTED IN THE PERFORMANCE RECORD WERE NOT MADE UNDER ACTUAL MARKET CONDITIONS AND, THEREFORE, CANNOT COMPLETELY ACCOUNTFOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FURTHERMORE, THE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD MAY BE DISTORTED BECAUSE THE ALLOCATION OF ASSETSCHANGES FROM TIME TO TIME AND THESE ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE COMPOSITE.
Pro-Forma Performance
The Kenmar Fund has no or a limited performance history. Performance shown reflects the actual gross performance of the Kenmar Fund, net of pro-forma fees and expenses applicable to it as describedabove. The pro-forma performance is for illustration purposes only and does not reflect actual performance of the Kenmar Fund. Actual performance may differ. No representation is being made that theKenmar Fund will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown or will make a profit or avoid incurring losses.
Prospective investors must be aware that pro-forma performance results have certain inherent limitations, including, but not limited to the following: (a) pro-forma adjustments are only anapproximate means of modifying historical records to reflect aspects of the economic terms and constitute no more than mathematical adjustments to actual performance numbers, andgive no effect whatsoever to such factors as possible changes in trading approach that might have resulted from the different fee structure, interest income, leverage, and other factors; (b)g p g g pp g , , g , ; ( )there are different means by which the pro-forma adjustments could have been made; and (c) the pro-forma results may not reflect the impact that market factors may have had on aninvestment manager’s investment decisions. While the Investment Manager believes that the information herein is relevant to evaluating an investment, no representation is or could bemade that such performance represents the results that the Kenmar Fund would have achieved in the past or is likely to achieve in the future.
