1. Global Macro Strategies

Caxton’s principal activity is trading in the international currency, financial, commodities and securities markets. Caxton follows currencies on a worldwide basis. Caxton trades primarily in major international currencies, but will also engage in substantial trading in “exotic” or other currencies. Currency positions are initiated and liquidated primarily in the interbank forward market as well as in the options and futures markets. The Caxton clients may also trade a wide variety of commodities, including, but not limited to, energy products, precious metals and agricultural products, through trading strategies involving futures, options and other derivatives, and potentially other commodity interests, in markets worldwide.

Caxton engages in a broad range of fixed income, securities and commodities trading, including U.S. and non-U.S. equity and debt securities (including options, warrants and other rights with respect thereto and new issue securities) on both a discretionary basis and separately on the basis of computerized trading programs. Caxton also trades U.S. and non-U.S. government securities with related financing through repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and other financing arrangements (which may be used for other trading instruments as well). Caxton may engage in securities lending on behalf of the Caxton clients by loaning securities in the Caxton clients’ portfolios to qualified brokers and dealers. Caxton also pursues strategies involving interest rate and other swap agreements, index futures and other derivative products both for purposes of profit objectives as well as risk management. Trading may include fundamental long/short equity strategies and top-down, “macro equity” trading. Caxton’s trading activities also include credit strategies, as well as relative value strategies involving some or all of the following: U.S. and non-U.S. government securities; mortgage-backed, asset-backed and related securities; corporate debt and equity securities; as well as convertibles, warrants, options and other derivatives and instruments. Caxton’s global macro trading strategies may involve quantitative trading systems. Caxton, in its sole discretion, may and usually does, invest for its clients on a leveraged basis. Additionally, Caxton reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to delegate a portion of its trading activities to sub-advisors (including affiliates) with similar or unique trading strategies and/or financial products. The Caxton clients may also invest in other private investment funds managed or advised by Caxton or an affiliate, related party or third party as described in the applicable feeder fund’s Explanatory Memorandum or Private Placement Memorandum (“Memorandum”). 2. CX Global Advantage Strategies CX Global Advantage Limited anticipates engaging in three core trading strategies primarily involving interest rate and interest rate-sensitive instruments: (1) systematic directional trading, (2) discretionary trading and (3) relative value trading. The allocation to these strategies will fluctuate with the market opportunity. As market conditions evolve, one or more of the foregoing strategies may be excluded from CX Global Advantage’s trading activities and other strategies may be incorporated.

3. CX Dynamis Strategies

CX Dynamis Limited currently anticipates engaging in four core trading strategies primarily involving interest rate and interest rate-sensitive instruments: (1) macro directional, (2) macro volatility, (3) relative value and (4) systematic trading. The allocation to these strategies will fluctuate with the market opportunity. As market conditions evolve, one or more of the foregoing strategies may be excluded from the CX Dynamis’ trading activities and other strategies may be incorporated.

4. Special Purpose Vehicles and Fund of Funds

Caxton may engage, through affiliates and special purpose vehicles, in public and private investments, as well as leverage buyout and venture capital strategies.

The respective strategies that may be used by Caxton are described in the Memorandum of each client that is a private fund.

C. Caxton has a broad mandate to select the financial instruments and markets in which the Caxton clients may invest, as well as the investment techniques it will use. For certain other clients, the mandate is narrower and more specialized. Generally, each client’s investment mandate is described in its Memorandum, investment guidelines or contractual documents. D. Caxton does not participate in wrap fee programs. E. Caxton manages assets only on a discretionary basis. As of December 31, 2018, Caxton Associates and its relying adviser had approximately $17,740,417,474 in Regulatory Assets Under Management (as such term is defined in Part 1 of Form ADV).
