MBAM is entitled to receive a management fee on assets under management and a performance-based
fee, subject to a high water mark, on the Cayman, Irish and Luxembourg entities as set forth in the relevant
offering and subscription documents.
Fee Schedule
Management Fee Range Performance Fee Range
Funds 1.00% - 2.00% 10% - 20%
UCITS Fund 1.25% - 2.00% 20%
Managed Accounts Up to 2.00% 10% - 50%
Restricted shares classes, such as those only available to the investment manager or sub-investment
manager, may charge lower fees than stated in the table above.
The fees are not negotiable and management fees are deducted from clients assets on a frequency agreed
with each client ranging from daily to quarterly. Performance fees are deducted on a frequency agreed
with each client ranging from daily to a biennial basis. Clients may agree to deduct management fees in
advance or arrears and in a termination event, pre-paid fees are refunded on a time-weighted basis. Fees
are calculated and deducted as defined in individual client agreements.
In addition to these management and performance fees, each fund will bear certain operating and
administrative expenses as set forth in detail in the funds’ governing, offering, and subscription documents.
These expenses to be borne by the funds typically include, but are not necessarily limited to, brokerage
services and other transaction fees, custody fees, legal fees, accounting fees, audit fees, filing fees,
directors’ fees, and other fees and expenses incurred by MBAM during the provision of managing the funds.

As noted above, MBAM receives performance-based fees from client funds. Performance-based fees could
potentially incentivise MBAM to make riskier investments than would be the case in the absence of such
fees. The firm has a well-defined investment process designed to minimise this potential conflict.
Where MBAM manages performance fee clients and non-performance fee clients on a side-by-side basis,
the Firm adopts allocation policies and procedures reasonably designed to address and mitigate the conflicts
posed by such side-by-side management.

Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
The firm’s investment process focuses on the selection of equity based securities and derivatives.
The Firm operates;
• Pan-European focused long-short equity strategies that integrate technical analysis, fundamentals,
sentiment and catalysts in order to actively trade and profit from repeatable patterns of market
behaviour. The objective is to create stable returns and an emphasis on liquidity and capital
preservation;
• Emerging markets strategies focusing on finding and delivering value through investments in the
publicly-traded equity of small to mid-cap companies that derive their revenues from the domestic
economies within emerging markets. The funds seeks superior investment performance by trading
a concentrated portfolio following a best ideas approach;
• A European focused high conviction special situations value strategy, combining a strict value
discipline with event driven expertise;
• A fundamental long-short equity strategy with a small and mid-cap European focus and low market
exposure; and
• A multi manager global long-short equity strategy, utilising technology to develop and optimise
portfolio manager performance.
MBAM employs risk management as part of its portfolio management process.
As part of the portfolio management process, MBAM also monitors compliance with the investment
objectives and restrictions set forth in the client’s governing, offering, and subscription documents.
Risk of Loss
The investment strategies pursued by MBAM, as summarised above, will be subject to normal market
fluctuations and other risks inherent in investing in securities. There can be no assurance that any
appreciation in the value of investments will occur. The value of investments and the income derived from
them may fall as well as rise and investors may not recoup the original amount they invest.
The descriptions contained below are a brief overview of associated risks related to MBAM’s investment
strategies; however, they are not intended to serve as an exhaustive list or a comprehensive description of
all risks and conflicts that may arise in connection with the management and operations of MBAM.
General Investment Risks
An investment in private funds is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of
the investments and the investment strategies and trading strategies to be employed. An investment in the
funds should not in itself be considered a balanced investment program. Investors should be able to
withstand the loss of their entire investment.
General Economic and Market Conditions
The success of the funds’ activities may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as
interest rates, availability of credit, economic uncertainty, changes in law, trade barriers, currency
exchange controls, and national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist acts or
security operations). These factors may affect the level and volatility of investment prices.
Stock Selection Risks
The price of one or more of the stocks in which MBAM invests on behalf of client funds could decline due
to misjudgment of the true value of the company or adverse company developments MBAM fails to
anticipate.
Foreign Investment Risk
Clients invested in companies based outside the United States face risks inherent in foreign investing.
Adverse political, economic or social developments could undermine the value of investments or prevent
the investments from realising their full value. Financial reporting standards for companies based in foreign
markets differ from those in the US.
Potential Implications of Britain’s Withdrawal from the European Union (“Brexit”)
Following a 2016 referendum vote to withdraw as a member of the European Union (the “EU”), the United
Kingdom (the “UK”) has passed legislation to exit the EU on January 31, 2020, with a transitional period
applying until December 31, 2020, until which EU law will continue to apply in the UK.
The outcome of the referendum has caused significant uncertainty, in particular, with regards to the
functioning of European markets, including the ability and willingness of persons to trade and invest within
Europe, the scope and functioning of European legal and regulatory frameworks (including with respect to
the regulation of investment fund managers and the distribution and marketing of investment funds), the
nature and scope of the regulation of the provision of financial services within, and to, persons in Europe
and the nature and scope of industrial, trade, immigration, and other governmental policy pursued within
Europe. These effects may persist for some time. Significant uncertainty remains regarding whether the UK
and EU will conclude agreements establishing relevant legal bases for the cross-border provision of financial
services, and/or whether legal “equivalence” decisions will be issued. It is not clear that agreements for
financial services and equivalence decisions, as applicable, will be available before the end of the transition
period.
Brexit may have other consequences, including a recession of the UK economy, down-grading of the UK’s
credit rating, and an increased likelihood of pro-independence movements in Scotland and other parts of
the UK taking steps to secede from the UK. The volatility and uncertainty caused by Brexit may adversely
affect the economy in general and the ability of funds managed to execute their respective strategies and
receive attractive returns, and may also result in increased costs to the MBAM Funds.
Liquidity
In extreme market conditions, it may be difficult for a client to realise an investment at short notice without
suffering a discount to market value. In such circumstances the investor may suffer a delay in realising his
investment or may incur a dilution adjustment. Depending on the types of assets invested in, there may be
occasions where there is an increased risk that a position cannot be liquidated in a timely manner at a
reasonable price.
The foregoing list of risk factors is just a summary of certain risk considerations and does not purport to be
a complete explanation of all risks involved in an investment in the MBAM Funds. Please see the MBAM
Funds’ subscription and offering documents for a more complete description of relevant risks.
Short-Term Market Considerations
MBAM's trading decisions may be made on the basis of short-term market considerations, and the portfolio
turnover rate could result in significant trading related expenses.
Short Selling
The extent to which the MBAM Funds engage in short sales will depend upon MBAM's investment strategy
and opportunities. A short sale creates the risk of a theoretically unlimited loss, in that the price of the
underlying security could theoretically increase without limit, thus increasing the cost to the MBAM Funds
of buying those securities to cover the short position. There can be no assurance that the Funds will be able
to maintain the ability to borrow securities sold short. There also can be no assurance that the securities
necessary to cover a short position will be available for purchase at or near prices quoted in the market.
Legal and regulatory restrictions may impact on the ability of the MBAM Funds to sell a security short
and/or may require the MBAM Funds to disclose any short position with possible adverse consequences to
the MBAM Funds.

its reasonable determination, relevant to achieving the best result for the clients.
Trade Errors
MBAM will seek to detect trade errors prior to settlement and promptly correct and mitigate any losses
arising from trade errors. Trading errors do not necessarily harm the client. In some cases, a mistake may
actually improve the client’s return on investment. If a loss arises as a direct result of a trading error,
MBAM’s policy is to reimburse the client as soon as the error has been identified, investigated and rectified.

analyst. MBAM does not enters into soft dollar or commission sharing arrangements to procure specialist
investment research products and services. MBAM may receive research from trading counterparties,
