Beta represents the tendency of the fund’s return to respond to market swings. <1 means the fund has less volatile returns than the index. Correlation measures how two instruments (fund and index) move in relation to each other: +1 is perfect positive cor-relation. R-Squared is a number 0 to 100 representing the percentage of a fund’s movements explained by movements in its index. A high number indicates a more useful beta figure. Standard Deviation is a measurement of investment volatility (up and down) that illustrates how much dispersion there is from the mean. The lower the standard deviation the closer the data points are to the mean (average).

1. 2015 return begins with April 22 inception 2. 2011 return begins with June 30 inception

Except where indicated otherwise, I Series data as of September 30, 2016, net of fees, annualized. Norrep Enhanced Credit Fund (Fund) continues the investment strategy of Centurion Credit Class (Centurion), which was a separate share class of Norrep Opportunities Corp (NOC). Centurion was established on June 30, 2011 and distributed securities to investors by private placement. Prior to offering Units of the Fund, Norrep Capital Management Ltd. (Norrep), on behalf of the Fund, arranged for the transfer of all of the assets held by Centurion to the Fund at fair market value in exchange for Series I Units. The management fee paid to Norrep in respect of Series I Units is paid directly to Norrep pursuant to a Series I agreement between each holder and Norrep, as was the management fee paid in respect of Series I shares of Centurion. In both cases, if the management fee was charged directly by Centurion or the Fund, the returns disclosed would be reduced to that extent. The performance of A Series and F Series Units will be reduced by the management fees charged by the Fund. Refer to the Offering Memorandum and financial statements of the Fund for further details. The Fund is available for sale to Accredited Investors, BC residents by Offering Memorandum or with a minimum purchase of $150,000 by a non-individual, and is subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws. Series I minimum investment requirement is $500,000. The Fund is subject to a performance fee. The Fund is not guaranteed, unit values changes frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with this investment. Indicated rates of return are the historical annual compound total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income tax payable by any security holder, if any, that would have reduced returns. The rate of return is used to illustrate the effects of the compound growth rate and is not intended to reflect future sales of the fund or returns on investment in the fund. Performance of Series I shown discloses the performance of Series I shares of Centurion from June 30, 2011 until April 22, 2015. Performance after April 22, 2015 is performance of Series I Units of the Fund. All opinions expressed and data provided herein are subject to change without notice.
