1 Estimated NAV performance as at 31 December 2010

 

ALTIN: well positioned

 

During the last months of 2010 very few transactions in the portfolio took place - highlighting ALTIN's confidence in its underlying investments. ALTIN's gross exposure remained stable and slightly above 122%, which indicates optimism regarding the opportunities within the hedge funds industry. The positioning of the portfolio's holdings reflects the balanced allocation targeted by ALTIN, with a bias that was gradually increased to macro managers focusing on commodities and managers focusing on event-driven and fundamental equity long / short.

 

The only new addition to the portfolio was the small allocation to a systematic managed futures silo through an attractive Asian-based short term trader.

 

ALTIN: High level of flexibility

 

ALTIN's portfolio continues to have a majority of investments with a redemption frequency terms of 3 months or less. This high level of liquidity means ALTIN is in a strong position to take advantage of attractive opportunities when they arise. Exposure to a particular investment theme can also be increased via the level of leverage allowed. This high level of flexibility means the portfolio can be reorganized in a nimble way if required and dependent on market opportunities and threats.

 

ALTIN: not affected by redemption issues

 

ALTIN is a closed-ended and fixed capital fund and as such it is not faced with redemption requests. This provides the investment manager with the opportunity to select the best risk/reward opportunities in the hedge fund universe. Investors can freely buy and sell ALTIN shares on a daily basis on the London or Swiss stock exchanges, without the need to redeem at fixed redemption dates.
