In calculating the estimated return of the Trust for the month and the net asset value of the Trust, the Trust relies on estimates provided by administrators and/or managers of each of the Fund's underlying hedge funds. The estimates received by the Fund's investment advisor from such administrators and/or managers of the Fund's underlying hedge funds may differ from the final reported monthly returns of such underlying hedge funds.
The Trust will firm up its net asset value per unit and the return of the Trust for the month as reports from administrators and managers are updated. The final net asset value per unit and the final return of the Trust will be provided to investors once they are available. It is possible that the final net asset value per unit and the final return of the Trust for the month may differ from the preliminary estimates provided herein.
Subject to limits set out in the Trust's prospectus, the Trust is required to purchase its units in the market in the event that the market price of a unit of the Trust falls below 95% of the net asset value of the Trust per unit. For the month of November, the Trust did not purchase any units under these programs during the month.
In addition, in an effort to expedite the distribution of proceeds to unitholders as soon as practicable, the Manager continues to actively seek alternative means of affecting the monetization of the underlying hedge fund portfolio. Although the Manager is endeavouring to maximize value, any such alternative means of monetizing the underlying hedge fund portfolio may result in realizing an amount that is materially less than the Trust's preliminary net asset value. The Manager will provide further information to unitholders, if and when such details become available.
