Citadel Advisors LLC (“Citadel Advisors”) is a Delaware limited liability company and has its principal place of business in Chicago, Illinois. Citadel Advisors and its predecessors have been in the investment advisory business since 1990. Citadel Advisors manages private investment funds offered exclusively to sophisticated investors, in certain cases with assistance from its affiliates Citadel Advisors II LLC (“Citadel Advisors II”), Citadel Europe LLP (“Citadel Europe”) and Citadel Asia Limited (“Citadel Asia” and, together with Citadel Advisors, Citadel Advisors II, Citadel Europe, and Citadel Asia, the “Advisers”). The Advisers are affiliated advisers organized as separate legal entities conducting a single advisory business. As such, the Advisers are permitted to satisfy their obligation to register with the SEC through filing of a single Form ADV by Citadel Advisors, with Citadel Advisors II, Citadel Europe and Citadel Asia as relying advisers. The private investment funds managed by the Advisers generally invest their assets directly or indirectly in other private investment funds (referred to as the “sub-funds”), which are also managed by the Advisers and through which the Advisers pursue their investment strategies. In this Brochure, each of the private investment funds managed by the Advisers, and the sub-funds in which they invest, are generally referred to as a “Fund,” and are generally referred to collectively as the “Funds.” As of December 31, 2018, the Advisers had approximately $27,528,200,000 of assets under management, all of which was managed on a discretionary basis. Citadel Advisors and Citadel Advisors II are wholly owned by Citadel Advisors Holdings LP. Citadel Europe is wholly owned by Citadel Management (Europe) Limited. Citadel Asia is wholly owned by Citadel Americas LLC. The Advisers are indirectly controlled by Citadel GP LLC or its related persons and use the investment personnel, infrastructure and support provided by Citadel Americas LLC and its affiliates. Citadel GP LLC and Citadel Americas LLC are controlled by Kenneth Griffin, their Founder and Chief Executive Officer. The Advisers are members of a group of affiliated entities that together comprise a leading global financial institution with a diverse business platform (collectively, “Citadel Group”), which includes two separate and distinct units: (i) a global investment firm (“Citadel”) and (ii) a global market maker (“Citadel Securities”). The Advisers have discretion with respect to investment decisions they make for the Funds, and also with respect to the selection of brokers, dealers and other counterparties for such transactions, and the amount of commissions or other compensation to be paid by the Funds. The Advisers provide investment advisory services to the Funds based on the particular investment objectives and strategies described in the applicable Fund’s Offering Documents (defined below).
All discussions of the Funds in this Brochure, including but not limited to their investments,
the investment strategies used in managing the Funds, the fees and other costs associated
with an investment in the Funds, and conflicts of interest faced by the Advisers in connection
with their management of the Funds, are qualified in their entirety by reference to each
Fund’s respective confidential offering memorandum (if any) and governing documents
(referred to collectively as the “Offering Documents”). please register to get more info

The Advisers do not currently have a general fee schedule. The fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Funds vary, depending on the Fund, and each Fund’s Offering Documents describe them in detail. The Advisers may, in their discretion, manage other funds or accounts with higher or lower fees, different fee structures, and different expense payment arrangements, than those of the Funds. Certain Funds require investors to pay a withdrawal charge to withdraw an investment, depending upon the amount and timing of the withdrawal and other factors, which is paid to the Fund, not to Citadel. In addition, Citadel Enterprise Americas LLC (formerly Citadel LLC) (together with its subsidiaries and related entities, as applicable, “Citadel Enterprise”), Citadel Americas LLC and/or certain other affiliated entities (collectively, the “Citadel Parties”) provide certain administrative and investment-related services to the Funds pursuant to one or more written agreements. The Funds Direct Expenses of the Funds Each Fund is responsible for direct expenses incurred in connection with or otherwise related to its operations and activities, including expenses associated with its investment portfolio and its proportionate share of the direct expenses of the underlying sub-funds in which it invests, including brokerage commissions and other transaction costs. Item 12 of this Brochure discusses how the Advisers select brokers, and how the Advisers determine the reasonableness of their compensation. Each Fund pays its expenses directly or reimburses the Citadel Parties, as instructed, for expenses paid on its behalf. The direct expenses incurred by each Fund vary depending on the nature of the operations and activities of the Fund and each Fund’s respective Offering Documents describe them in detail. The Citadel Parties seek to allocate direct expenses of the Funds that are incurred on behalf of multiple Funds fairly among the applicable Funds, in accordance with one or more allocation protocols established by the Citadel Parties from time to time. The Citadel Parties believe such allocation protocols are reasonable; however, other reasonable options may exist that may yield different results, including results that would be more beneficial to one or more Funds. Reimbursable Expenses The Funds fully reimburse the Citadel Parties for all of their costs and expenses other than those costs and expenses that are entirely unrelated to the services the Citadel Parties provide to the Funds (the “Reimbursable Expenses”). The Reimbursable Expenses allocated to each Fund are material, both on an absolute basis and as a percentage of a Fund’s net asset value. Reimbursable Expenses include the compensation of employees of the Citadel Parties and the cost of office space and utilities, as described in the applicable Fund’s Offering Documents. The Citadel Parties seek to allocate Reimbursable Expenses fairly among the Funds. The Citadel Parties determine the allocation of Reimbursable Expenses among the Funds in accordance with one or more allocation protocols established by the Citadel Parties from time to time. The Citadel Parties believe such allocation protocols are reasonable; however, other reasonable options may exist that may yield different results, including results that would be more beneficial to the Funds. While the allocation of Reimbursable Expenses among the Funds is designed to generally reflect each Fund’s consumption of resources of the Citadel Parties and generation of revenue, certain Reimbursable Expenses may be specifically allocated only to certain Funds, other Reimbursable Expenses may be disproportionately allocated to certain Funds, and some Reimbursable Expenses will be allocated ratably among the Funds. The apportionment of Reimbursable Expenses among the Funds involves subjective determinations, which may involve conflicts of interest. Management Fees In addition to bearing direct expenses and their allocable portion of Reimbursable Expenses, certain Funds also pay Citadel Americas LLC a management fee (the “Management Fee”) in respect of such Funds or certain tranches thereof calculated and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1% of the net asset value of the applicable Fund or the applicable tranche thereof. The Management Fee generally offsets the Performance Allocation otherwise made in respect of such Funds or the applicable tranches thereof. The Offering Documents applicable to each Fund that pays a Management Fee describe in detail the specific terms governing the structure and calculation of the Management Fee and the corresponding Performance Allocation offset. Citadel Intellectual Property The intellectual property and trademarks of alternative asset managers are generally regarded as having significant value. It is in Citadel’s interest to continue to develop its intellectual property. Certain direct expenses of the Funds and certain expenses reimbursed by the Funds include amounts that are used to pay for the development of Citadel’s intellectual property. The Funds have no right to or property interest in Citadel’s intellectual property. Directors’ Fees Funds that are governed by a board of directors remunerate the directors at market rates. Such Funds also reimburse the directors for all travel, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with their performance of services to the Funds, and, in particular, in attending and returning from any meetings of the directors, committees of the directors and general meetings. Administrator’s Fee Northern Trust Hedge Fund Services LLC (the “Administrator”) performs certain middle and back office administrative and operational services for the Funds, such as trade reconciliation and settlement functions, and acts as the administrator to the Funds. The Funds pay the Administrator a fee for its services at an annual rate agreed upon by the Administrator and the relevant Fund. The Administrator’s fee may be based on the asset value or investment capital of the Fund and may take into consideration the aggregate investment capital of the Fund and certain other Funds. For certain Funds, the Administrator’s fee is subject to certain monthly minimum levels. The Administrator’s Fee is not included in the Reimbursable Expenses. please register to get more info

The Advisers generally receive an allocation from each Fund equal to a percentage of the positive difference between the net asset value of each investor’s investment in the Fund and the “high water mark” attributable to such investment (the “Performance Allocation”) as of each December 31. The Advisers also generally receive the Performance Allocation as of each date that the Fund makes a distribution or capital payout to an investor or the date that an investor withdraws capital or transfers an interest in the Fund. The Offering Documents applicable to each Fund describe in detail the specific terms governing the structure and calculation of the Performance Allocation and high water mark, which may vary between Funds. The Performance Allocation arrangements may give the Advisers an incentive to engage in more speculative investment strategies in an effort to maximize a Fund’s profits and receive greater compensation. The Advisers seek to allocate investment opportunities in a manner that they believe treats all Funds fairly over time. please register to get more info

The Advisers provide investment advisory services to the Funds based on the particular investment objectives and strategies described in the applicable Fund’s Offering Documents. Investors in the Funds generally are required to complete and submit a subscription agreement binding them to the terms of a Fund’s Offering Documents. Certain Funds admit only sophisticated U.S. taxable investors that are both “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, and “qualified purchasers” (or “knowledgeable employees”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) and the rules thereunder. Other Funds generally admit only sophisticated non-U.S. investors, or sophisticated U.S. tax-exempt investors that are both “accredited investors” and “qualified purchasers.” The minimum initial investment for the Funds’ investment capital is $10,000,000. The Advisers may waive these minimums in their discretion. Other limitations also may apply. please register to get more info

For certain Funds, the Advisers will take both long and short positions in a broad range of investment instruments, while the Advisers will utilize a narrower range of investment instruments for certain other Funds. The Funds’ investment policies generally do not prohibit them from taking management control of entities in which they invest. The Advisers generally employ, for the benefit of the Funds, proprietary investment strategies based upon fundamental research as well as on quantitative analysis. The sub-funds generally invest on a highly leveraged basis, and the Funds may leverage their investments in the underlying sub-funds. Certain of the Funds managed by the Advisers are multi-strategy Funds that impose no limitations on the investment instruments, markets or countries in which the Advisers may invest, on the investment strategies which the Advisers may employ, or on the type or amount of borrowings which the Advisers may enter into on their behalf. For these Funds, the Advisers will opportunistically implement whatever investment strategies or discretionary approaches the Advisers believe from time to time may be best suited to prevailing market conditions. Over time, the investment strategies implemented for these Funds can be expected to expand, evolve and change, perhaps materially. The Advisers generally will not be required to implement any particular investment strategies for the multi-strategy Funds and may discontinue employing any particular strategy, whether or not such investment strategies are specifically described in the relevant Fund’s Offering Documents, without notice to the Funds or investors. The Advisers manage other Funds that have a more specific strategy or set of investment strategies, investment instruments, markets or countries in which they may invest. Each such Fund’s respective Offering Documents describe these in detail. Following is a description of some of the more significant investment strategies that the Advisers may use on behalf of the Funds generally, investment instruments in which the Advisers may have the Funds invest, and the risks associated with them. Not all of the investment strategies, investment instruments and associated risks are relevant to all Funds. Investment Strategies Equities The equities strategy focuses primarily on investments in the equity and equity-linked securities of companies globally, concentrating on United States and European issuers. The Advisers may take directional positions, relative value positions and combinations thereof, both long and short, on a global basis on behalf of the Funds, and may invest in a broad range of securities and other investment instruments (which include securities, options, futures, currencies, derivatives and other instruments). The equities strategy primarily employs fundamental research and financial analysis to identify and capture opportunities.

Fixed Income and Macro

The fixed income and macro strategy focuses primarily on investments in the currency, equity, and fixed income markets globally, concentrating on the G-10 markets. The Advisers may take directional and/or relative value positions on behalf of the Funds, both long and short, on a global basis, investing in a broad range of investment instruments, including sovereign debt, currencies and currency forwards, futures, interest rate swaps, equity indices, options, and other derivatives. The fixed income and macro strategy primarily employs macroeconomic analysis and quantitative modeling to identify and capture opportunities.

Commodities The commodities strategy focuses primarily on investments in a range of commodities markets, such as power, natural gas, crude oil and refined products, and agricultural products and commodities-related securities globally, concentrating on markets in the United States and Europe. The Advisers may take directional and/or relative value positions on behalf of the Funds, both long and short, on a global basis, investing in a broad range of investment instruments, including futures, forwards, contracts for physical delivery, currencies and currency forwards, options, securities, and other derivatives. The commodities strategy also includes buying and selling physical commodities (e.g., natural gas) and related derivatives thereof, and contracting for transportation and storage capacity for such commodities. The commodities strategy primarily employs fundamental analysis and quantitative modeling to identify and capture opportunities. Credit The credit strategy focuses primarily on investments in the corporate debt, equity, and equity- linked securities of companies globally, concentrating on United States and European issuers. The Advisers may take directional and/or relative value positions on behalf of the Funds, both long and short, in such securities and in other investment instruments, including options, credit indices, equities, convertible debt securities, credit derivatives and other derivatives. The credit strategy primarily employs fundamental research and financial analysis in the pursuit of its directional positions and quantitative modeling in the pursuit of its relative value positions. Quantitative Strategies

The quantitative strategies focus primarily on investments in the equity, fixed income, commodities and currency markets globally, concentrating on United States and European equity markets. The Advisers may take directional and/or relative value positions on behalf of the Funds, both long and short, on a global basis, investing in a broad range of investment instruments, including equities, sovereign debt, currencies and currency forwards, futures, interest rate swaps, equity indices, options, and other derivatives. The quantitative strategies team employs primarily statistical and quantitative modeling and predictive analytics to identify and capture opportunities.

Third Party Managers The Advisers may, on behalf of a Fund, allocate a discrete portion of such Fund’s assets to funds or accounts managed by investment managers that are not affiliated with the Advisers. Such funds or accounts may be subject to asset-based or performance-based fees payable to the investment managers (and such fees will not reduce the Performance Allocation, Management Fee, or expenses borne by any such Fund). Significant Risks Investing in securities, derivatives and other financial instruments involves risk of loss that investors in the Funds should be prepared to bear. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s objective will be achieved or that the investment strategies the Advisers employ will be successful. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment. The following describes the principal risks involved in the Advisers’ investment strategies, generally. Not all of these risks will be equally relevant to each Fund at any given time. General Risks Risk of Loss An investment in a Fund involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that the entire amount invested may be lost. Hedge funds are subject to significant risks to which traditional investments are not. Performance Volatility The Funds’ performance may be highly volatile. The investment results of a Fund may vary substantially over time and sustained losses could result in the inability of the Fund to retain or deploy capital. Past Performance Not Necessarily Indicative of Future Results The past performance of the Funds is not necessarily indicative of the Funds’ future results. There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their objectives or avoid substantial losses. Competition The activities in which the Funds engage are highly competitive. There can be no assurance that the Funds will be able to compete successfully against a broad array of competitors. In addition, the use by the Advisers’ competitors of quantitative strategies similar to those utilized on behalf of the Funds could have material adverse effects on the Funds, including by reducing available investment opportunities. Concentrated Investment Strategy Certain Funds focus on investing in a single investment strategy. Although the range of investment opportunities within a single investment strategy may be broad, structural, economic and regulatory changes or general market conditions could adversely affect the investment strategies employed by the Advisers on behalf of such Funds. There have been periods, including recently, when market conditions were adverse to these investment strategies. The single-strategy focus of certain Funds’ portfolios may cause their performance to be more volatile than that of a portfolio more diversified across asset classes and could cause such Funds to suffer severe losses if the equity securities market remains disrupted for an extended period. Reliance on the Citadel Parties The Funds have no employees. The Funds must rely on the Advisers’ management, and the administrative and investment-related services provided by the Citadel Parties. The performance of the Funds depends to a large degree on the efforts of the individuals employed by the Citadel Parties. The Citadel Parties face intense competition in attracting and retaining talented professionals. Any circumstances which might result in a diminution of service levels provided to the Funds by the Citadel Parties could materially adversely affect the Funds. Certain investment professionals responsible for the activities undertaken on behalf of the Funds have other responsibilities on behalf of the Citadel Parties and conflicts of interest may arise as a result in the allocation of personnel. There are no limitations on the ability of Citadel to form or manage other Funds of any nature whatsoever or on any such Funds engaging in transactions with other Funds. Moreover, there are no limitations on the ability of Citadel Group to engage in other business or investment activities, whether related or unrelated to the Funds. Should the Advisers cease to act as investment adviser to the Funds, no assurance can be given that the Funds would be able to find and recruit a replacement investment adviser with similar experience, credibility and access to intellectual property and investment talent or as to the length of time the search for a replacement would take. Any delay in finding another portfolio manager could adversely impact the achievement by the Funds of their investment objective. Operational Risks The investment strategies employed by the Advisers are highly dependent on information systems and technology. Any failure, breach or deterioration of these systems or technology due to human error, data transmission failures, hacking, cyberattacks, operational risks, or other causes could have a material adverse effect on the Funds’ operations. A disaster or a disruption in the infrastructure that supports Citadel’s business, including a disruption involving electronic communications or other services that Citadel, or that third parties with whom Citadel conducts business, use or directly affecting one of Citadel’s offices or facilities, may have a material adverse effect on Citadel’s ability to continue to operate its business without interruption. Although Citadel has back-up facilities for its information systems as well as technology and business continuity programs in place, there can be no assurance that these will be sufficient to mitigate the harm that may result from such a disaster or infrastructure disruption. In addition, insurance and other safeguards might only partially mitigate the effects of such a disaster or disruption. Citadel relies on third-party service providers for certain aspects of its business, including certain financial operations of the Funds. Any interruption or deterioration in the performance of these third parties could impair the quality of the Funds’ operations and negatively impact the investment strategies employed by the Advisers on the Funds’ behalf. Computer Systems Risks; Cybersecurity Citadel relies to a material extent on a wide range of computer hardware and software, including both equipment and programs licensed from its affiliates as well as those licensed from third parties (collectively, “Computer Systems”). Citadel uses Computer Systems in substantially all phases of its operations, including research, valuation, trade identification and construction, trade execution, clearing, risk management, back office functions, and reporting.

The Advisers depend on the reliability and functionality of the Computer Systems for the implementation of the investment strategies that they employ on behalf of the Funds and the maintenance of their books and records, and Computer Systems are subject to a number of inherent and unpredictable risks. For example, from time to time: there may occur material errors in software programs that are either unrecognizable or not recognized for significant periods; software and/or hardware may malfunction and/or degrade; telecommunications failures, power loss or natural disasters may occur; security breaches may lead to a variety of adverse consequences, including but not limited to, unintended trades, stolen intellectual property, the dissemination of confidential information relating to trading positions, investors and employees, and the disruption of Citadel’s operations; services provided by third party vendors to support the Computer Systems may be interrupted; and computerized trading programs may generate and/or execute transactions many times the magnitude of, as well in the opposite market direction to, the transactions which would have been effected were it not for a Computer Systems error. While Citadel devotes considerable resources to preventing, identifying and containing the effects of Computer Systems errors, such errors may occur from time to time. It should be assumed that such errors will be both for the account of the applicable Fund and could, over time, be potentially material to its performance.

In addition, while Citadel takes protective measures against cybersecurity attacks, there can be no assurance that security will not be breached. In addition, no assurance can be provided that the vendors or counterparties of Citadel or the Funds will not be subject to a security breach. Any such cyberattack, interception or mishandling of information, or other security breach could result in the corruption, loss or disclosure of Citadel’s or the Funds’ intellectual property or trading strategies, which could have a material adverse effect on the Funds, or result in the disclosure of investor information.

Human Error The decision making of Citadel personnel will have a significant impact on the performance of the Funds. Citadel personnel are responsible for implementing and modifying the investment strategies and models used by the Funds. In some cases, Citadel personnel may input data or make investments manually. All such actions and decisions are subject to human error, which could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Funds. Errors in Trade Execution and Settlement Certain of the investment techniques used on behalf of the Funds require the rapid and efficient execution of transactions, or the ability to accumulate or liquidate large positions. Inefficient execution can eliminate the market opportunities that such techniques seek to capture. Errors in executing specific trading instructions may occur in the course of carrying out activities, and transactions may be executed on terms other than those intended. Errors may result from system errors or from mistakes made by individuals. Examples of trading errors include: (i) buying or selling an investment instrument at a price or quantity that is inconsistent with the specific trading instructions generated by a particular investment team or investment strategy; or (ii) buying rather than selling a particular investment instrument (and vice versa). The Funds are also subject to the risk that counterparties will fail to settle a transaction in accordance with its terms and conditions. Losses resulting from errors in trade execution and settlement could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Funds. The Advisers will (unless the Advisers otherwise determine) generally treat all trading errors (including those which result in losses and those which result in gains) as for the account of the applicable Fund or Funds. Cross Trades; Non-Pro Rata Investment Allocations Certain Funds may invest in certain sub-funds in which other Funds, including Funds that are generally managed on a parallel basis with each other, do not invest (and vice versa). In addition, the Advisers may effectuate cross trades between sub-funds. In making the determination to invest a particular Fund’s assets, but not the assets of another Fund, in a particular a sub-fund (or vice versa), or to effectuate a cross trade between any two sub-funds, the Advisers may consider such factors as they determine in their discretion, including whether a particular investment may have adverse tax or regulatory consequences to a particular Fund or certain investors therein but not to others. Further, a sub-fund may determine (either at the time an investment is made or at a later date) to allocate future profit and loss associated with an investment among its investors on a non-pro rata basis (e.g., to certain Funds and not others). The Advisers may determine, among other reasons, to effectuate such non-pro rata allocation because a particular investment may have adverse tax or regulatory consequences to a Fund or certain investors therein but not to another Fund or the investors therein. In such event, the Fund(s) that is not participating in the profit and loss of the applicable investment would be allocated an increased percentage of the profit and loss of the other investments held by the sub-fund. By way of example, a sub-fund in which multiple Funds invest may hold shares in an issuer that announces that it is making a significant dividend to its shareholders. In the event that the Advisers determine that the receipt of such dividend may have an adverse tax impact on a particular Fund or its investors (but not on other Funds or the investors therein), the Advisers may determine, prior to the receipt of such dividend, to cause such sub-fund to allocate future profit and loss associated with such investment to such other Funds but not to the Fund that may be subject to such adverse tax impact. However, the Advisers are under no obligation to make any such non-pro rata allocations and may choose not to allocate an investment on a non-pro rata basis even where an investment may have an adverse tax or other consequence on a particular Fund or the investors therein. In addition, no assurance can be provided that such non-pro rata allocation will not have a material adverse effect on a particular Fund. An investment that is not allocated to a Fund by a sub-fund may be realized at a profit. Conversely, in the event that a significant loss attributable to an investment exceeds the sub-fund capital accounts of the Funds participating in such investment, such loss will be borne by the remaining investors in the sub-fund. Potential Reorganizations and Restructurings The Advisers may reorganize certain aspects of the investment strategies that they deploy on behalf of the Funds or expand the scope of such investment strategies. Among other things, the Advisers may establish separate Funds for different investment strategies, combine certain existing investment strategies into separate portfolios or implement new investment strategies in a stand- alone Fund or Funds, rather than or in addition to retaining them as part of the existing Funds’ portfolios, as well as discontinue certain investment strategies. Any such stand-alone Fund or Funds might be available to existing as well as new investors, only to existing investors, to certain existing investors but not others, only to all or certain Citadel Related Parties (as defined below) or other investor groups. Moreover, certain structural changes to the Funds may be made in conjunction with any restructuring, including changes to expense allocations. Any such restructuring could materially diminish the investment capital of the Funds or the composition of the Funds’ portfolios. For purposes of this Brochure, “Citadel Related Parties” means (i) the Advisers; (ii) any one or more of Advisers’ affiliates; (iii) any person which is an owner, officer, director, manager, managing member, member, partner or employee of the Advisers and/or any one or more of the Advisers’ affiliates; and/or (iv) any spouse or child (including adopted children) of any of the foregoing persons. General Portfolio Risks Risk Management The Advisers actively take risk on behalf of the Funds, which are directly exposed to the risk of loss under a wide variety of market conditions. The Advisers have established risk management processes to identify, measure and monitor risks associated with the investment activities undertaken on behalf of the Funds. These risk management processes are intended to assist the Advisers in their investment decision-making process on behalf of the Funds, and to identify certain risk exposures that the Advisers may choose to hedge or otherwise mitigate. However, the risk management processes may fail to identify or anticipate a wide variety of risks that may adversely affect the Funds, which could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Funds. Fluctuating Correlation with Equities and Fixed Income Many investors seek to achieve diversification in their holdings by investing in hedge funds. The Advisers, in managing the Funds’ portfolios, generally do not seek to achieve any particular correlation with traditional asset classes such as equities and fixed income, and there can be no assurance that the Funds will experience a low level of correlation with a traditional portfolio of equities and fixed income. This may be particularly true during periods of market disruption and stress when the risk control benefits of diversification may be most important. At any time, the Funds’ portfolios, or portions of the portfolios, may be highly correlated with the financial markets in general, and during such periods may not provide diversification benefits. Technical Analysis The Advisers incorporate technical analysis factors, i.e., the analysis of historical and current market data, into their investment decisions made on behalf of the Funds. Specifically, the Advisers focus on analyzing supply and demand of certain investment instruments based on issuance schedules, types of issuances and the behavior of large market participants with respect to such investment instruments. Technical analysis is subject to the risk that unexpected fundamental factors or other factors may dominate the market during certain periods. Furthermore, a frequent premise of technical analysis is that past market conditions are indicative of future market prices. The influx of different market participants, structural changes in the markets, the introduction of new financial products, and other developments could materially adversely affect the profitability of investments made based upon technical analysis. Fundamental Analysis Fundamental analysis, which is based on the theory that market mispricings exist because market prices do not accurately incorporate all knowable economic and other relevant data, is subject to the risk of inaccurate or incomplete market information, as well as the difficulty of predicting future prices based upon analysis of all known information. Investments made based upon fundamental analysis are subject to significant losses when market sentiment leads to investment instruments’ market prices being materially discounted from the expected prices indicated by fundamental analysis (as in the case of “flights to quality” when the demand for certain risky investment instruments plummets) or when technical factors, such as price momentum encouraged by trend following, dominate the market. Model Risk Certain of the investment strategies employed by the Advisers on behalf of the Funds are highly dependent on quantitatively based pricing theories and valuation models, which the Advisers use to evaluate investment opportunities. These models generally seek to forecast future price changes based upon a limited number of factors and inputs. The forecasts generated by these models may differ substantially from actual future price realizations, resulting in material losses to the Funds. There can be no assurance that the models used by the Advisers on behalf of the Funds will be effective or that they will be effectively utilized by the Advisers. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Advisers will be able to continue to develop, maintain and update the models. The models used by the Advisers may depend upon inputs from various sources, and in the event such inputs are not accurate, unexpected losses may be incurred. The Advisers anticipate the continued modification, enhancement and development of models. Each new generation of models (including incremental improvements to current models) exposes the Funds to the possibility of unforeseen losses from a variety of factors, including conceptual failures and implementation failures. Projections The Advisers may make investments on behalf of the Funds that rely upon projections developed by the Advisers concerning a given investment instrument’s future performance and associated cash flows. Projections are inherently uncertain and subject to factors beyond the control of the Advisers. The inaccuracy of certain assumptions, the failure to satisfy certain financial requirements and the occurrence of unforeseen events related to certain projections could result in material losses to the Funds. No Formal Diversification Policies The Advisers may take highly concentrated positions in investment instruments for a Fund based on counterparty, issuer, industry, geography, market and/or investment strategy (in each case, directly or, in the case of derivative instruments, by reference). Any such concentration may subject the Funds to greater risk of loss than would a more diversified approach. Relative Value Strategies The success of the relative value strategies utilized by the Advisers on behalf of the Funds depends on market values converging towards the valuations determined by the Advisers’ investment teams and/or the quantitative models utilized by such teams and their ability to utilize these relative mispricings among interrelated investment instruments. The relative value strategies that the Advisers employ on behalf of the Funds are subject to the risks of disruptions in historical price relationships, the restricted availability of credit and the obsolescence or inaccuracy of valuation models used. In the event of market disruptions, the Funds may incur significant losses that may force the Advisers to close out one or more positions on behalf of the Funds. Such disruptions have in the past resulted in substantial losses for investors in Funds employing relative value strategies. Furthermore, the quantitative models used to determine whether a position is mispriced may ultimately prove to be inadequate or erroneous or the assumptions used in modeling inaccurate. Such disruptions, inadequacies, errors or inaccuracies could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Funds. Directional Strategies Directional investing is subject to all the risks inherent in incorrectly predicting future price movements. Often these price movements will be determined by unanticipated factors and the Advisers’ analysis of known factors may prove inaccurate, in either case potentially leading to substantial losses. Illiquid Investment Instruments Certain investment instruments held by the Funds may be, or may become, illiquid and may not have readily ascertainable fair market values. The Advisers may only be able to liquidate these investment instruments on behalf of the Funds, if at all, at disadvantageous prices. No Limitations on Strategies There are no limitations on the investment strategies which the Advisers may use when investing assets on behalf of the Funds. The Advisers will opportunistically implement on behalf of the Funds whatever investment strategies or discretionary approaches the Advisers believe from time to time may be best suited to prevailing market conditions. Over time, the investment strategies the Advisers implement can be expected to expand, evolve and change, perhaps materially. The Advisers will not be required to implement any particular investment strategies and may discontinue employing any particular investment strategy on behalf of the Funds, without notice to Fund investors. There can be no assurance that the various investment strategies which the Advisers expect from time to time to develop and implement for the Funds will be successful or that investment strategies that have been successful will continue to be profitable. No Limitations on Investment Instruments There is no limitation on the investment instruments in which the Advisers may invest on behalf of the Funds. New investment instruments are continually developing and investments in such investment instruments may involve material and as yet unanticipated risks. The Funds invest in exchange-traded instruments and instruments that are traded off-exchange in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Market Volatility and Correlations The prices of investment instruments the Advisers trade on behalf of the Funds can be volatile during certain, perhaps prolonged, periods. For example, the prices of investment instruments held by the Funds may be sensitive to interest rate fluctuations and unexpected fluctuations in interest rates could cause the corresponding pricing of long and short positions to move in directions that were not initially anticipated. Market volatility creates the risk that positions held by the Funds may be highly unprofitable on an interim basis, even if over time they would ultimately be profitable. Under certain market conditions, the Advisers potentially may be forced to liquidate positions on behalf of the Funds, resulting in significant losses for the Funds. A number of the trading and risk management models used by the Advisers make assumptions about near-term volatility and risks based upon historical patterns. Given the number of factors that can affect market volatility, such assumptions are inherently subjective and unreliable. The Funds may incur substantial trading losses, and the risk management models used by the Advisers may not function as designed if realized market volatility and correlations differ materially from the assumptions used, which could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Funds. Portfolio Turnover The Advisers often invest on behalf of the Funds on the basis of short-term market considerations, and the mispricings or other criteria from which the Advisers seek profit for the Funds can be short-lived. The turnover rate of the Funds’ positions may be significant, potentially involving substantial brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and clearing costs. Global Market Exposure Investments on a global basis in both developed and emerging markets involve the following risks, among other risks: (i) currency exchange-rate risk; (ii) the possible imposition of withholding, income, excise and other taxes; (iii) the absence of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices, less rigorous disclosure requirements and little or potentially biased government supervision and regulation; (iv) the risk of terrorism and acts of war; and (v) economic and political risks, including expropriation, exchange controls and restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of capital. Emerging Markets Emerging market investing is subject to risks not generally applicable to investing in more developed economies, including inefficient clearing systems, inadequate regulatory, accounting and disclosure standards, the risk of government intervention, expropriation and/or confiscatory taxation. The Advisers generally believe that in emerging markets they have access to inferior information in comparison to that possessed by many local market participants. Emerging markets are also generally more vulnerable to periods of less liquidity and extreme volatility than more developed markets. In addition, when periods of stress occur in developed financial markets, emerging markets as a group may suffer material price declines and less liquidity. Such risks relating to the Advisers’ emerging markets investing on behalf of the Funds could lead to substantial losses on one or more investments. Liquidity Market liquidity often falls in periods of market turmoil, dramatically increasing transaction costs for investors seeking to acquire or liquidate positions. Numerous hedge funds have incurred significant or total losses when attempting to liquidate positions during periods of extreme illiquidity, often when seeking to raise cash to meet margin calls issued by counterparties. In the event the Advisers were to seek to liquidate a Fund’s portfolio positions in a period of poor liquidity, the Fund could experience substantial losses. Short Positions A short sale of an investment instrument entails the theoretical risk of an unlimited increase in the market price of that investment instrument, which can, in turn, result in significant losses to a Fund. Purchasing investment instruments to close out a short position in such investment instruments can itself cause the price of the investment instrument to rise further, increasing losses. Furthermore, the Advisers may prematurely be forced to close out a short position in a security if a lender of such security demands the return of the security sold short. Short-selling has from time to time been the subject of significant regulatory scrutiny as well as substantive regulation. Regulatory initiatives to increase the regulation of the financial markets are ongoing, and it is not possible to predict whether short-selling may be restricted, perhaps permanently, in a manner materially adverse to certain of the investment strategies implemented by the Advisers on behalf of the Funds. Hedging Risks

The Advisers may hedge, on behalf of the Funds, certain market or other risks inherent in the Funds’ portfolios, but generally will have no obligation to do so. The Advisers may use a variety of investment instruments for hedging on behalf of the Funds, the choice of which may turn out in retrospect to have failed to mitigate the risks as intended. Furthermore, the Advisers may choose to use dynamic hedging approaches which may ultimately fail to achieve the intended risk mitigation if the market experiences rapid changes in price, volatility or liquidity. The Advisers will not, in general, attempt to hedge all market or other risks inherent in the Funds’ portfolios, and will hedge certain risks, if at all, only partially. Such hedging decisions, if they fail to achieve the intended risk mitigation or fail to adequately mitigate the level of intended risk, could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Funds.

Changing Market Conditions Certain changes in market conditions, for example, a decrease in trading volume or liquidity in a particular market, could materially reduce a Fund’s profit potential. Differential Access to Information

The Advisers will execute transactions on behalf of the Funds with other market participants who may have superior information and market intelligence than the Advisers. From time to time, the Funds may incur substantial losses caused by an information disadvantage. Reliance on the Integrity of Financial and Economic Reporting A number of the investment strategies the Advisers employ on behalf of the Funds rely on the financial, economic and economic policy information made available by companies, governmental agencies, exchanges, consulting and research firms, and central banks. Data such as the financial performance and prospects for individual companies, measures of economic performance and sentiment reported by governmental agencies, and numerous other factors can have a material effect on the investment positions the Advisers take on behalf of the Funds. However, the Advisers have limited, if any, ability to independently verify such financial, economic and/or economic policy information. The Advisers are dependent in this regard upon the integrity of both the individuals and the processes by which the entities that publish such data produce their results. The Funds could incur material losses as a result of the misconduct or incompetence of such individuals and/or a failure of or substantial inaccuracy in such processes. Reliance on Mortgage Underwriters and Servicers The likelihood of mortgages being paid is based entirely on the payments being received on the underlying receivables. In assessing the quality of different mortgages, the Advisers are wholly dependent on information furnished by mortgage originators and servicers and certain mortgage originator and servicer information. The Advisers have limited, if any, ability to independently verify such financial information they receive. Inaccurate information concerning the underlying mortgages can cause material loss to the Funds.

Rating Agency Uncertainty

Downgrading of issuers and/or investment instruments in which the Funds invest could lead to substantial losses, and the Advisers may not be able to rely with confidence on the ratings given to issuers in which the Advisers are considering investing on behalf of the Funds.

Leverage; Financing; Availability of Credit A sub-fund may invest on a highly leveraged basis, and a Fund may leverage its investment into such a sub-fund. Leverage may be achieved in numerous ways, including through loans for borrowed money and the leverage embedded in derivative instruments. The amount of leverage at a sub-fund or a Fund may be large in relation to its capital. A Fund or sub-fund that uses leverage is generally not subject to any restrictions on the amount or type of leverage that the Advisers may use on its behalf. The Advisers will determine such leverage based on factors they deem relevant. The use of leverage can dramatically magnify both gains and losses, increasing the possibility of a total loss of investment. Leverage achieved by a Fund or a sub-fund through margin borrowings requires such entity to post collateral with brokers and counterparties that provide it with financing. Brokers and counterparties have broad discretionary authority over valuation of a Fund’s or a sub-fund’s assets they hold, and the amount of collateral required. A broker or counterparty may have the right to (i) reduce the valuation of a Fund’s or a sub-fund’s assets it holds, including collateral posted on behalf of a Fund or a sub-fund; (ii) require additional collateral to be posted; and/or (iii) reduce unilaterally the credit extended to a Fund or a sub-fund for a number of reasons, including reasons that have no bearing on the creditworthiness of such Fund or such sub-fund. Any such action by a broker or counterparty could lead to a margin call on a Fund or a sub-fund or result in a Fund or a sub-fund having to sell assets at a time when such Fund or such sub-fund would not otherwise choose to do so. If a Fund or a sub-fund does not meet a margin call in accordance with the relevant financing agreement, the broker or counterparty may declare such Fund or such sub-fund in default and liquidate such Fund’s or such sub-fund’s assets held by the broker or counterparty. The investment strategies employed by the Advisers on behalf of the Funds depend on the availability of credit in order to finance the Funds’ portfolios. The credit available to the Funds or the sub-funds could be dramatically reduced for a significant length of time. A Fund’s or sub- fund’s inability to access secured and/or unsecured financing facilities and markets could significantly impact its profitability. Any or all of these situations could arise due to circumstances that the Advisers may be unable to control. Borrowing and Lending Activities The investment instruments of certain sub-funds are loaned to, borrowed from, pledged to and otherwise financed with third parties or other Funds. Third parties and other Funds that enter into financing transactions with sub-funds may default on their obligations to return investment instruments or to otherwise pay amounts owed to the sub-funds. Such failures to receive the amounts that are owed to a sub-fund, either directly or indirectly, could have a material adverse effect on the performance of one or more Funds. Counterparty and Credit Risk There is a risk that prime brokers, counterparties, clearing houses or exchanges with which the Advisers deal on behalf of the Funds, including brokers and counterparties that are Citadel Related Parties, may default on their obligations to the Funds. Any default by any of such parties could result in material losses to the Funds. Leveraged Exposure to Sub-Funds Multiple Funds may invest in the same sub-funds and may use leverage in doing so. The allocations and reallocations of capital by the Funds, directly and indirectly, to and from such sub- funds could materially adversely affect the sub-funds and may be compelled by the terms of their leveraging arrangements. As a result of the possible application of different leverage terms to different groups of investors in a sub-fund, such sub-fund as a whole may be subject to liabilities relating to only one group of investors in such sub-fund. The Advisers have arranged for certain of the sub-funds to make disproportionate allocations of their profits and losses to certain levered participants, which consist of Citadel Related Parties and entities in which such Citadel Related Parties have an interest. Such disproportionate allocations will cause the applicable sub-funds to use additional leverage in the course of their investment activities. This additional leverage will expose the sub-funds (and the applicable Funds) to additional risk, although only the levered participants will participate in the disproportionate allocations. If such sub-funds experience substantial losses, it is possible that losses attributable to the additional market exposure incurred in connection with such disproportionate allocations could deplete capital attributable to Funds that are not such levered participants. Investment Instrument Risks Equity Securities Certain of the Advisers’ investment strategies involve investments in equity and equity-linked securities (including equity-based derivatives), the values of which vary with an issuer’s performance and movements in the broader equity markets. Numerous economic factors, as well as market sentiment, political and other factors, influence the value of equities. At any given time, a Fund may have significant investments in companies with smaller market capitalizations. These securities often involve greater risks than the securities of larger, better-known companies, including less liquidity and greater volatility. Debt Securities Debt securities, including convertible debt securities, may be subject to price volatility due to various factors including changes in interest rates, market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity. In addition to the sensitivity of debt securities to overall interest rate movements, debt securities involve a fundamental credit risk based on the issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments on the debt it issues. Sovereign Debt The Advisers may invest in debt securities issued by G-10 countries on behalf of the Funds, including debt obligations issued or guaranteed by national, state or provincial governments, political subdivisions or quasi-governmental or supranational entities. G-10 governments often intervene in the markets for their debt for a variety of economic and/or political reasons. The Advisers may also invest in non-G-10 government debt securities on behalf of the Funds. Such securities may involve a high degree of risk and the issuing governmental entities may default on or restructure their obligations. Certain sovereign debt may have non-investment grade ratings or be in distress or even default. Currencies The Funds may be subject to two types of exchange rate risk: the risk of speculative currency trading and the exchange rate risk inherent in investing in global investment instruments denominated in different currencies. The Advisers may invest in currencies on behalf of a Fund on a speculative basis. Currency trading involves positioning in anticipation of movements in exchange rates among countries. Exchange rates can change dramatically over short periods of time, particularly during times of political or economic unrest or as a result of actions taken by central banks, which may be intended directly to affect prevailing exchange rates. Moreover, many of the investment instruments in which the Advisers invest on behalf of a Fund are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and certain U.S. dollar-denominated investment instruments in which the Advisers invest on behalf of a Fund are convertible into investment instruments denominated in other currencies. The Funds holding these and other positions are subject to the risk that exchange rate movements will cause losses on positions which might otherwise have been profitable. Metal-Related Investment Instruments Investments in base as well as precious metal-related instruments, such as spot and forward futures contracts, may be volatile. The value of these instruments may fluctuate due to overall market movements and other factors, such as inflation fears, interest rate movements and international political events. Derivative Instruments The Advisers make extensive use of various derivative instruments on behalf of the Funds. These instruments typically involve highly leveraged exposure to underlying referenced assets from which such instruments derive their performance, at least in part. The use of derivatives involves a variety of material risks, including the possibility of counterparty non-performance as well as deviations between the actual and the theoretical value of such derivatives. Changes in the volatility of the price of an underlying security or index may make a large difference to the theoretical value of a derivative instrument. Derivatives are subject to a wide variety of contractual terms including a range of “early termination events” permitting the counterparty to liquidate the position prematurely. Derivatives may be extremely illiquid, and in many cases, derivative positions may be offset only by transacting with the counterparty to the derivative. Options The Advisers may buy or sell (write) both call options and put options on either a covered or an uncovered basis for a Fund. The value of options is materially affected by market volatility. If the Advisers were to incorrectly forecast near-term market volatility, such Funds may incur substantial losses on their options trading. The seller of an uncovered call option bears the risk of an increase in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price, which risk is theoretically unlimited. Futures The Advisers may trade futures on behalf of a Fund in certain of their investment strategies. Futures are often inherently highly leveraged, and can become illiquid due to exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits. The regulation of futures trading on non-U.S. exchanges differs materially from that on U.S. exchanges, and the Advisers may have a significant competitive disadvantage to other market participants in trading on such exchanges. The successful trading of futures for speculative purposes is subject to the ability to predict correctly movements in the direction of the relevant market and, to the extent the transaction is entered into for hedging purposes, to determine the correlation between the position being hedged and the price movements of the futures contract. Physical Commodities Investing and Transportation In certain investment strategies in which the Advisers may trade commodities on behalf of a Fund, the Advisers may generally seek to avoid taking or making delivery of underlying physical commodities. However, it is possible that a Fund may (either voluntarily or involuntarily) come into possession of physical commodities in connection with these investment strategies. In addition, certain Funds engage in certain businesses (e.g., the transportation and storage of natural gas) pursuant to which the Advisers expect to take or make delivery of underlying physical commodities on behalf of the Funds. The possession of physical commodities could subject a Fund to a variety of risks and costs not applicable to financial instruments, e.g., difficulty of storing, loss, damage, inability to transport, pollution control and personal injury liabilities, sales tax and insurance. The ownership of physical commodities may also cause a Fund (and ultimately the investors therein) to be subject to state and local sales taxes. In addition, the business of transporting and storing physical commodities (e.g., natural gas) may expose a Fund to additional laws and regulations that would not otherwise apply to such Fund’s trading of physical commodities. Agricultural Commodities The agricultural investment instruments in which the Advisers may trade on behalf of a Fund could have less liquidity than other commodities-related investment instruments, and the prices in such markets can be dominated by unexpected weather and political events, changes in consumer demand and public policy and the hedging transactions of large commercial users. Credit Derivatives The Advisers may purchase and sell credit derivatives on behalf of a Fund. Investments in credit derivatives are subject not only to the credit risk of the issuer of the underlying obligations to which such derivatives are referenced, but also to the credit risk of the counterparty to the credit derivative transaction itself. In certain cases, the credit derivatives market is significantly less liquid than the market in the underlying debt obligations, particularly if the derivative is highly customized and individually negotiated. Energy-Related Investment Instruments and Markets The Advisers may invest on behalf of a Fund in a wide range of energy and energy-related markets including natural gas, crude and refined oil products, power, coal, and emissions. The Advisers may invest on behalf of such Fund through physical and financial derivative instruments. The energy and energy-related markets are susceptible to significant short-term price volatility as a result of a variety of factors which are inherently unpredictable, such as weather-related events, rate and tariff regulation, government ownership of certain major market participants, geo-political changes in certain non-U.S. regions, consumer advocacy and the investment activity of market participants. The energy markets are also subject to price volatility as a result of breakdowns in the facilities necessary to produce, refine, transport, store and deliver physical energy. Because oil and natural gas are considered important natural resources, substantial profits earned through energy-related commodities trading have attracted significant regulatory, legislative and public scrutiny and likely will continue to do so. Trading of physical energy contracts involves risks not typically present in the case of financial contract trading. The Advisers may be at a competitive disadvantage to some participants in the energy markets (for example, natural gas and oil companies) that produce some of the energy products they trade. Credit Default Swaps The Advisers may use credit default swaps on behalf of a Fund. Investing in credit default swaps involves different risks from investing in the reference obligation directly. In addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to liquidity risk and, if uncleared, counterparty credit risk. Given the fact that some of the credit default swap contracts that the Advisers enter into on behalf of the Funds are bilaterally settled rather than centrally cleared, settlement of such contracts may be delayed beyond the time frame originally anticipated by counterparties, and disputes may be more likely to arise as settlement is delayed. Such delays may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to otherwise productively deploy capital that is committed with respect to such contracts. Differential Cash Flows on Related Positions Certain of the Advisers’ investment strategies may involve taking positions that combine investment instruments which are not margined on a marked-to-market basis, or if margined on a marked-to-market basis, are subject to unilateral margin in favor of the counterparty, and related or hedging positions on the same or similar investment instruments but which are margined on a bilateral marked-to-market basis. Due to the cash flow imbalances between such investment instruments, in extreme market scenarios, the Advisers may be forced to close out such positions on behalf of the Funds, perhaps at disadvantageous prices. Interest Rate Risks The prices of investment instruments may be sensitive to interest rate fluctuations and unexpected fluctuations in interest rates could cause the corresponding pricing of long and short positions to move in directions which were not initially anticipated. In addition, interest rate increases generally will increase the interest carrying costs of borrowed investment instruments as well as the cost of the leverage used by the Advisers on behalf of the Funds. To the extent that interest rate assumptions underlie the thesis of a particular position, fluctuations in interest rates could invalidate those underlying assumptions and expose the Funds to losses. Distressed and High-Yield Investment Instruments The Advisers may invest in investment instruments on behalf of a Fund that are issued by companies in weak and/or deteriorating financial condition, experiencing poor operating results, needing substantial capital investment, perhaps having negative net worth, facing special competitive or product obsolescence problems or involved in bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings. Investments of this type may involve substantial financial and business risks, which are often heightened by an inability to obtain reliable information about the issuers. Such investments can result in significant or even total losses. In addition, the markets for distressed and high yield investment instruments are frequently illiquid. The market prices of distressed and high-yield investment instruments are subject to abrupt and erratic market movements and above-average price volatility, and the spreads between the bid and ask prices of such investment instruments may be greater than those prevailing in other markets. It may take a number of years for the market price of such investment instruments to reflect their intrinsic value. In liquidations and corporate reorganizations, there exists the risk that the liquidation or reorganization will be unsuccessful, will be delayed, or will result in a distribution of cash or a new investment instrument that is worth less than what a Fund paid for its original investment. Distressed investment instruments also may be adversely affected by U.S. state and federal laws relating to, among other things, fraudulent transfers and other voidable transfers or payments and lender liability, as well as the bankruptcy court’s power to disallow, reduce, subordinate, or disenfranchise particular claims. Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Advisers, on behalf of a Fund, may invest in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). MBS are securities that entitle the holders to receive payments that depend primarily on the cash flow from a specified pool of mortgage assets, either fixed or revolving, that by their terms convert — if paid in accordance with their tenor — into cash within a finite time period, together with rights or other assets designed to assure the servicing or timely distribution of proceeds to holders of the MBS.

Holders of MBS bear various risks, including liquidity risks, interest rate risks, market risks, operations risks, structural risks and legal risks. The structure of an MBS and the terms of the investors’ interest in the collateral can vary widely depending on the type of collateral, the desires of investors and the use of credit enhancements. Although the basic elements of all MBS are similar, individual transactions can differ markedly in both structure and execution. Important determinants of the risk associated with issuing or holding the securities include the process by which principal and interest payments are allocated and distributed to investors, how credit losses affect the issuing vehicle and the return to investors in such MBS, whether collateral represents a fixed set of specific assets or accounts, whether the underlying collateral assets are revolving or closed-end, under what terms (including the maturity of the MBS itself) any remaining balance in the accounts may revert to the issuing entity and the extent to which the entity that is the actual source of the collateral assets is obligated to provide support to the issuing vehicle or to the investors in such MBS. Convexity and the Limits of Agency MBS Hedging Hedging prepayment risk is complicated by the feature of many MBS known as “negative convexity.” If a Fund is hedged for a particular anticipated duration, the Fund may incur losses regardless of the market direction. For example, if a bond is anticipated to have a five year duration, but interest rates fall and prepayments rise, then the actual duration of the bond may turn out to be shorter. If the Fund has sold a five year duration “hedge” against this position, the Fund may wind up over-hedged and may lose more on the hedge than can be made on the target bond. Conversely, if interest rates rise and prepayments slow, causing the life of a bond to extend, the Fund may find itself under-hedged and may lose more on the bond than the gains on its hedge. Agency Risk Certain agency MBS may have lower credit risk, especially after the government “takeover” of the agencies. However, political action or other unpredictable events may lead to at least certain agency MBS, even if ultimately paid, not being paid promptly. Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) The Advisers may invest in RMBS on behalf of a Fund. Holders of RMBS bear various risks, including credit risks, liquidity risks, interest rate risks, market risks, operational risks, structural risks and legal risks. Credit risk is an important issue in RMBS because of the significant credit risks inherent in the underlying collateral and because issuers are primarily private entities. Due to the increasing or decreasing likelihood of prepayments resulting from changes in interest rates and other factors, mortgages have an unknown maturity. In the absence of a known maturity, market participants generally refer to an estimated average life. An average life estimate is based on an assumption regarding anticipated prepayment patterns, which are based on the estimation of future mortgage rates, current conditions in the relevant end use markets and other factors. The assumption is necessarily subjective and there can be no assurance that estimated average life will correspond to the actual average life. The adverse effects of prepayments may impact a Fund’s portfolio in two ways. First, particular investments may experience outright losses, as in the case of an interest-only security in an environment of faster actual or anticipated prepayments. Second, particular investments may underperform relative to hedges that the Advisers may have constructed for these investments, resulting in a loss to a Fund’s overall portfolio. In particular, prepayments (at par) may limit the potential upside of many RMBS to their principal or par amounts, whereas their corresponding hedges often have the potential for unlimited loss. RMBS are subject to a number of risks unrelated to whether the underlying mortgages are paid. For example, RMBS structures often incorporate swaps and other derivatives which are subject to counterparty risk. In addition, the entities in charge of servicing the underlying mortgages could result in defaults on payments on the RMBS despite the underlying mortgages themselves being paid. The RMBS securities themselves generally involve a “liquidity provider” in order to accommodate mismatches between the payment flows on the mortgages and on the RMBS themselves. These liquidity providers may default, or may be entitled to terminate or materially increase the expense of such facilities, impairing payment on the RMBS. In the case of non-U.S. mortgages, the RMBS will be subject to exchange rate risk and/or the expense of exchange rate hedging which can materially reduce the amounts available to make payments on the RMBS. Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) The Advisers may invest in CDOs on behalf of a Fund. CDOs, in the context of a Fund’s operations, are pools of mortgages, the cash flows of which are divided up into different senior as well as subordinated tranches. The CDOs in which a Fund may participate involve substantial organizational, syndication and ancillary fees. A Fund’s investment in CDOs may frequently be subordinate in right of payment to other securities sold by the CDO and not readily marketable. Depending upon the default rate on the collateral of the CDO, the Fund may incur substantial losses on its CDO investments. In addition, when the Advisers, on behalf of a Fund, sell securities or assets held by the Fund to a CDO, the Fund may not receive any residual interest in such CDO so that any profits that the Fund might have recognized on such securities or assets will no longer inure to the benefit of the Fund. CDOs are subject to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks. In particular, investment-grade CDOs may have greater liquidity risk than investment-grade governmental or corporate bonds. There is no established, liquid secondary market for many of the CDOs that the Advisers, on behalf of a Fund, may purchase. The lack of such an establish please register to get more info

Investment Advisers As described in Item 4—Advisory Business, Citadel Europe, Citadel Asia and Citadel Advisors II are relying advisers of Citadel Advisors. Citadel Europe and Citadel Asia provide investment advisory services in connection with the Advisers’ management of the Funds. Citadel Advisors II manages certain sub-funds. Broker-Dealers The Advisers have related persons that are broker-dealers. Certain of these broker-dealers are owned by the Funds while the other broker-dealers are owned by affiliates of the Advisers. The Advisers and their affiliates may earn fees and receive other benefits when the Funds transact with and use the services of these broker-dealers. In addition, certain of the persons who are registered representatives of the Advisers’ related broker-dealers are management persons of the Advisers. Citadel Securities Citadel Securities LLC, a part of Citadel Securities, is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA. Although Citadel and Citadel Securities generally operate independently with separate investment personnel, they both utilize the infrastructure and support provided by Citadel Enterprise and share other resources and non-investment personnel. Citadel Group has established certain policies, including certain information barriers, between Citadel and Citadel Securities,that are designed to mitigate and reduce the number of potential conflicts of interest, to protect the confidentiality of information and to prevent the misuse of material non-public information. As a result of these policies, Citadel and the Funds generally are not permitted to access certain information in Citadel Securities, and similarly Citadel Securities generally is not permitted to access certain information in Citadel. Citadel and Citadel Securities do not coordinate their trading activities, and as with any two market participants that do not coordinate trading activities, the trading activities of Citadel Securities may inadvertently have adverse impacts on the trading activities and performance of one or more Funds, and vice versa. Such adverse impacts could relate to the availability, pricing, terms or other characteristics of securities or other investments of the Funds. Certain regulations impose limitations on the amount of securities or other instruments that can be held by related parties or require disclosure of, or impose restrictions on purchases or sales of securities or other instruments held by, related parties. Citadel may determine that certain of these regulations require the aggregation for regulatory purposes of instruments held by the entities or accounts managed or owned by Citadel and Citadel Securities, notwithstanding the separation between Citadel and Citadel Securities. As a result, such regulations (or policies related to such regulations) may prohibit the Funds from acquiring or selling particular securities or instruments, may limit the amount of particular securities or instruments that the Funds may acquire or sell, or may require the Funds to disclose their ownership of such securities. Citadel Group’s principals and their related persons own a substantial majority of Citadel Securities, which could incentivize Citadel Related Parties to favor Citadel Securities. Citadel Clearing Citadel Clearing LLC is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA. In this Brochure, Citadel Clearing LLC, Citadel Institutional Finance Company Ltd., and CCLC Holdings LLC (“Citadel Clearing Holdco”) are collectively referred to as “Citadel Clearing.” Citadel Clearing LLC and Citadel Institutional Finance Company Ltd. are wholly owned by Citadel Clearing Holdco and perform Clearing Services for the Citadel Clearing Funds. Citadel Clearing Holdco is substantially owned by the Citadel Clearing Funds, although a small portion of Citadel Clearing Holdco is owned directly by an entity owned and controlled by principals of Citadel Group. The Citadel Clearing Funds made contributions to Citadel Clearing Holdco in exchange for equity and debt therein. The equity of Citadel Clearing Holdco (and the contribution of capital associated therewith), and the loan obligations (together, the “Citadel Clearing Interest”), were initially allocated by the Advisers among the Citadel Clearing Funds based on each Citadel Clearing Fund’s utilization of the Clearing Services provided by Citadel Securities LLC relative to the other Citadel Clearing Funds, as determined in the Advisers’ discretion. The Advisers expect, but are not required, to reallocate all or any portion of the Citadel Clearing Interest among the Citadel Clearing Funds at such times and in such manner as is determined by the Advisers in their discretion (including, without limitation, due to changes in the relative amount of Clearing Services being provided by Citadel Clearing to each Citadel Clearing Fund). To the extent that Citadel Clearing requires additional capital, the Advisers may require the Citadel Clearing Funds to contribute additional capital, or increase the size of their loan, to Citadel Clearing Holdco. Although the overall size of each Citadel Clearing Fund’s allocable portion of the Citadel Clearing Interest may vary over time, the ratio of debt to equity is expected to be similar across the Citadel Clearing Funds. There may be conflicts of interest associated with decisions made by the Advisers on behalf of a Citadel Clearing Fund in respect of the Citadel Clearing Interest, including the renewal of the loan, as actions taken by one Citadel Clearing Fund may have a material adverse effect on another Citadel Clearing Fund. For example, in the event that fulfilling a loan obligation, or making an additional capital contribution, to Citadel Clearing Holdco would cause stress to a Citadel Clearing Fund’s portfolio, the Advisers will face conflicts of interest in determining whether to cause such Citadel Clearing Fund to make such payments to the detriment of such Citadel Clearing Fund, or advising the Citadel Clearing Fund not to make such payments to the detriment of Citadel Clearing and the other Citadel Clearing Funds. There may be conflicts of interest associated with the determination of the commission rates, transaction costs, custodial fees and clearing and financing costs paid by the Citadel Clearing Funds to Citadel Clearing, and the allocation and reallocation of the Citadel Clearing Interest among the Citadel Clearing Funds including as a result of Citadel Related Parties having an interest in one or more Citadel Clearing Funds. Certain personnel provide services for both Citadel Clearing and Citadel Securities, and the allocation of their time and attention may involve conflicts of interest. Furthermore, because each of the Funds (through Citadel Clearing) and Citadel Securities conducts its own Clearing Services, they may compete for counterparty capacity and financing in connection therewith. Palafox Trading LLC Palafox Trading LLC (“Palafox”) is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer, is a member of FINRA, a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation and a clearing member of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation and LCH RepoClear. Palafox’s business focuses on repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions involving certain types of government securities. Commodities and Futures Citadel Advisors and Citadel Advisors II are each registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor. Each of Citadel Advisors and Citadel Advisors II is also a member of the National Futures Association (the “NFA”). Certain management persons of Citadel Advisors and Citadel Advisors II are principals approved by the CFTC and NFA, and also may be registered with them as associated persons. please register to get more info

Trading
Code of Conduct and Personal Trading Policy Citadel Group has adopted a code of conduct and personal investment policies in furtherance of its commitment to compliance with applicable laws and standards of business conduct. Citadel Group prohibits employees from using or attempting to use their position at Citadel to obtain improper personal benefits for themselves or any other person. Citadel Group’s personal investment policies permit employees to invest for their personal accounts, subject to certain guidelines and restrictions. All personal securities transactions by employees, by certain of their family members, and in accounts in which supervised persons or certain of their family members have a financial interest, must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Citadel Group’s personal investment policies. Among other things, Citadel Group’s policies require that certain personal securities transactions by employees or certain of their family members be approved in advance by the compliance department. Certain personal securities transactions are subject to a minimum holding period. Employees must report certain personal securities holdings upon employment and periodically thereafter, and arrange for certain duplicate confirmations and account statements to be sent to Citadel Group’s compliance department. Citadel Group will provide a copy of its code of conduct and personal investment policies to an investor or prospective investor in the Funds upon request. Citadel has adopted policies and procedures intended to prevent employees from being unduly influenced in their decisions by the receipt of gifts or other inducements from third parties, such as trading counterparties, vendors or investors. Employees are required to report and obtain approval for certain business gifts and are prohibited from accepting or giving certain types of business gifts. In addition, Citadel’s policies set forth standards for business entertainment provided by third parties, or provided by employees of the Citadel Parties to others.

Conflicts of Interest The interests of Citadel Related Parties (including the Advisers) may conflict with the interests of the Funds. The following discussion details certain potential conflicts of interest; however, the following does not purport to be a complete list or description of all of such potential conflicts of interest. Citadel Group has established policies to address certain of the potential conflicts addressed below; however, such policies will not necessarily eliminate or mitigate all effects that such conflicts (and any other conflicts) may have on the Funds. Management of Other Citadel Funds Certain Citadel personnel may implement investment strategies on behalf of multiple Funds. The Advisers have not adopted any formal procedures for allocating investment opportunities among the Funds. The Advisers may have incentives to favor certain Funds over others because performance-based compensation is calculated separately for each Fund. For example, if a particular Fund suffered losses early in a year and the prospects for it generating Performance Allocations were remote, while the investors in other Funds were generally above their “high water marks” for incentive compensation purposes, the Advisers would have an incentive to favor the Funds whose investors are above their “high water marks.” See Item 6, Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management. Certain Citadel personnel may also be compensated separately and using different formulas with respect to the performance of the Funds or particular investment strategies within those Funds. Citadel Related Parties have different economic interests in different Funds, and Citadel Group personnel may invest in certain Funds (and not others) through employee incentive programs. Accordingly, Citadel personnel may have incentives to favor certain Funds over others or cause investments to be made, managed or realized in a manner that benefits such Funds. Directors may serve simultaneously as directors of multiple Funds, and may have incentives to favor certain of such Funds over other such Funds. The Funds pay the Citadel Parties pass-through expenses based on their share of the overall expenses of the Citadel Parties’ operations (including performance bonuses). In addition to paying pass-through expenses, certain Funds also pay Citadel Americas LLC a fixed management fee. The Advisers may determine, as a result of different investment objectives, time horizons, investment strategies, current portfolio holdings and weightings, tax issues, regulatory implications, working capital, risk levels or other considerations, that certain investments should be made by some Funds rather than other Funds or that certain Funds may be given priority access to certain positions as compared to other Funds. The Advisers may have an incentive to cause investments to be made, managed or realized to advance the interests of one or more particular Funds over those of one or more other Funds. The Advisers, on behalf of a Fund, may take a position that is different from, and potentially adverse to, a position taken by another Fund, invest in a different security of an issuer’s capital structure in which another Fund is invested, invest in the same security but on different terms than another Fund, obtain exposure to an investment using different types of securities or instruments than another Fund, engage in short selling securities that another Fund holds, vote securities in a different manner than another Fund, and/or acquire or dispose of its interests at different times than another Fund. This could have a material adverse effect on the one or more of such Funds, including by diluting or otherwise disadvantaging the values, prices, or investment strategies of such Funds. When the Advisers, on behalf of a Fund, manage or implement a portfolio decision ahead of, or contemporaneously with, portfolio decisions for another Fund, market impact, liquidity constraints, or other factors could result in such Fund receiving less favorable pricing or trading results, paying higher transaction costs, or being otherwise disadvantaged. In addition, in connection with the foregoing, the Advisers, on behalf of a Fund, may pursue or enforce rights or actions, or refrain from pursuing or enforcing rights or actions, with respect to a particular issuer in which another Fund has invested, even though such actions or inaction could materially adversely affect such other Fund. Furthermore, to the extent that a particular Fund has an investment in the same issuer as another Fund, the Advisers may be incentivized to take the interests of such other Fund into account in connection with making decisions on behalf of the particular Fund, or the interests of the particular Fund into account in connection with making decisions on behalf of the other Fund, even though taking such interests into account could materially adversely affect the particular Fund or such other Fund. Certain of the transactions in which the Advisers engage create the risk that the capital attributable to one Fund could be subject to liabilities relating to other Funds. Other Activities of the Advisers By reason of the other business or investment activities of the Advisers, the Advisers may acquire confidential information or otherwise be restricted in their investment activities, and, in such event, the Advisers may not be free to act upon such confidential information. Moreover, due to such confidential information and/or restrictions, the Advisers may not initiate a transaction for a Fund which the Advisers otherwise might have initiated, and such Fund may, as a result, be required to maintain a position that it otherwise might have liquidated, or be required to refrain from acquiring a position that the Advisers otherwise might have acquired on behalf of such Fund. Certain Citadel personnel from time to time may be active in and serve on the management committees of various exchanges, clearing houses, self-regulatory organizations and trade associations in which a sub-fund is a member. Moreover, such personnel may from time to time serve on the board of directors of such an organization or association. In addition, certain Citadel personnel may from time to time serve on the board of directors of, or a creditors’ committee in respect of, an issuer in which a Fund invests or is contemplating investing. Such personnel could have a conflict of interest between discharging their obligation in such capacities and acting in the interest of such Fund. Citadel Related Parties, including Citadel Securities, are engaged in a wide range of investment opportunities and other activities, and the principles of the doctrine of “corporate opportunity” or other similar rights or claims will not apply to such investment opportunities or other activities of such Citadel Related Parties. Citadel Securities is under no obligation or other duty to provide investment opportunities to any Fund and does not do so. Citadel Related Parties, including Citadel Securities, buy and sell investment instruments for their own accounts and/or the accounts of others. Such transactions may be the same as or different from those which the Advisers execute for the Funds. The Advisers may, but will have no obligation to, engage in any transaction or make any investment for the Funds, irrespective of whether one or more Citadel Related Parties does so for their own accounts or for the account of any other person, and none of the Funds nor any Fund investor will have any first refusal, co- investment or other right with respect to any such transaction or investment. No specific obligations or requirements are imposed concerning the allocation of the Citadel Related Parties’ time, effort or investment opportunities to the Funds, and there are no restrictions on the nature or timing of investments for the Funds. Principals of Citadel Group are not obligated to devote any specific amount of their business time to the affairs of the Advisers, and the Advisers are not required to accord any exclusivity or priority to any Fund in the event of “limited availability” investment opportunities and, as a result, conflicts of interest may arise. Although the Advisers believe that the terms on which the Citadel Parties will provide accounting, data processing, investment research, quantitative research and other services to the Funds are reasonable, the arrangements among the Advisers, the Citadel Parties, and the Funds are not negotiated on an arm’s-length basis and the Advisers can give no assurance that any conflicts of interest will be resolved in favor of the Funds. Shared Personnel; Expense Allocation Notwithstanding the separation between Citadel and Citadel Securities, certain personnel of Citadel Enterprise and its affiliates provide services to both Citadel and Citadel Securities. Such personnel include, without limitation, certain individuals within the treasury, accounting, legal, tax, risk, compliance, operations, technology and human resources departments. In addition, certain personnel that are primarily dedicated to either Citadel or Citadel Securities may provide services to the other unit under certain circumstances, on either an extended or project-specific basis. Such personnel include, without limitation, certain persons within the treasury, accounting, legal, tax, risk, compliance, operations, technology, quantitative research and development, and human resources departments of Citadel and/or Citadel Securities. Moreover, certain senior management of Citadel are involved in strategic, operational and/or other management decisions or activities related to Citadel and Citadel Securities. With respect to the foregoing shared personnel, certain information sharing is unavoidable and certain conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the allocation of such persons’ time and attention among various Funds, and between Citadel or Citadel Clearing and Citadel Securities. Citadel has adopted policies to address such conflicts but there can be no assurance that such policies will successfully eliminate or mitigate all of such conflicts in every case. Certain personnel that provide services to or for the benefit of a particular Fund, including personnel who implement investment strategies on behalf of the particular Fund, also provide services to or for the benefit of other Funds. Certain conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the allocation of such persons’ time and attention among various Funds. Citadel Enterprise and its affiliates will determine, in their discretion, how to allocate costs and expenses among the Funds, as well as between Citadel and Citadel Securities, including costs and expenses associated with shared personnel, technology, infrastructure and data. While Citadel Enterprise and its affiliates believe that their allocation methodology is appropriate, it has not been negotiated on an arm’s-length basis, it involves subjective determinations by Citadel Enterprise and its affiliates and the use of a different reasonable allocation methodology may result in fewer costs being borne by the Funds. Citadel Enterprise and its affiliates can give no assurance that any conflicts of interest associated with such allocation will be resolved in a manner that does not harm the Funds economically or that benefits the Funds appropriately. Citadel Enterprise and its affiliates may change their allocation methodology from time to time without notice to investors. Citadel Related Party Transactions The Funds may, from time to time, purchase and/or sell investment instruments with and through Citadel Related Parties. With respect to certain investment strategies, such transactions may occur regularly and frequently. Certain of these transactions may be effected on a principal, cross, agency or “agency cross” basis. Certain Funds may establish a representative committee of such Fund’s investors and/or independent third parties (each, an “investors’ representative committee”) that will have the power and the authority to: (i) provide consent to individual principal trades on the Fund’s behalf in compliance with Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act; and (ii) provide and revoke blanket consent to agency cross transactions in compliance with Advisers Act Rule 206(3)- 2 (“Rule 206(3)-2”). Each investors’ representative committee will receive, on behalf of the applicable Fund, the requisite disclosures concerning such transactions, including the confirmations and annual statement of agency cross transactions required by Rule 206(3)-2. The above-mentioned procedures are intended to address the actual and potential conflicts of interest inherent in any principal or agency cross transaction in which the involvement of the Advisers or a Citadel Related Party may create conflicting duties of loyalty. In the ordinary course of their investment activities, the Funds may also routinely borrow, pledge, lend and otherwise finance various investment instruments with and among Citadel Related Parties, on both a secured and unsecured basis. The Funds may make loans to, obtain loans from and guarantee the obligations of the Advisers, any Citadel Related Party and/or any other person; employ, consult or contract with (and in connection therewith pay compensation to) any Citadel Related Party and/or any other person; invest in, contribute capital to, participate or otherwise deal with, the Advisers, any Citadel Related Party and/or any other person, irrespective of whether the financial, tax or other allocations made by any of the foregoing are made on a pro rata basis. Any Citadel Related Party may serve in any capacity with the Funds. The Funds borrow, pledge and lend securities or other investment instruments in the ordinary course of their investment activities and may do so with third parties as well as with other Funds on a secured and unsecured basis. Such transactions among different Funds are not subject to approval by such Funds’ investors’ representative committees (if applicable), but involve potentially material conflicts of interest; for example, one Fund paying lending fees to another Fund or allocating “hard to borrow” securities to, as well as “calling in” borrowed securities from, such Fund. Such financing activities may enable a Fund to invest in certain investment instruments in which it otherwise would not be able to invest. The Advisers may clear a large portion of certain Funds’ trades to and through Citadel Clearing acting as clearing broker. The Advisers believe that obtaining such services from Citadel Clearing is not opposed to the best interests of such Funds and that the terms of such arrangements are consistent with the terms that would reasonably be expected in a comparable transaction or arrangement between unrelated parties. Valuations Each Adviser is responsible for determining the fair market value of the applicable Fund’s investment instruments. In doing so, the Advisers will have considerable discretion in valuing certain privately-placed and less liquid investment instruments. The Advisers may have to use their subjective judgment in valuing certain investment instruments. The Advisers have adopted pricing methodologies for the valuation of the Funds’ investment instruments as described in each Fund’s Offering Documents, and investment instruments held by sub-funds which are not consolidated in the books and records of the Funds will be valued in accordance with the governing documents of each sub-fund, provided that such governing documents provide for a valuation protocol materially similar to that established in the Funds’ Offering Documents. The Advisers generally will face a conflict of interest in valuing such investment instruments because these values will affect their compensation. The Funds may retain third parties to verify the Advisers’ methodology for determining fair market values and to conduct independent price verification exercises. Diverse Interests The various types of investors in the Funds, including the Advisers and Citadel Related Parties, may have conflicting investment, tax and other interests with respect to their investment in the Funds. When considering a potential investment for a Fund, the Advisers will generally consider the investment objectives of the Fund, as a whole, not the investment objectives of any investor individually. The Advisers may make decisions, including with respect to tax matters, from time to time that may be more beneficial to one type of investor (or former investor) than another, or to the Advisers and Citadel Related Parties than to investors unaffiliated with the Advisers. Investment by Other Funds Certain Funds (including Funds which may have only a single investor) invest in the same sub- funds. There are limited or no restrictions on the redemptions and subscriptions, including for purposes of allocating and reallocating capital among different sub-funds, by such Funds to and from such sub-funds or certain Funds may have less restrictive subscription and redemption provisions than those applicable to other Funds. Such redemptions may be made in order to fund redemptions from such Funds or for other reasons, as well as on an ongoing basis in the course of implementing a multi-strategy investment approach. Such redemptions and subscriptions of capital may materially adversely affect certain Funds and may disadvantage investors in one Fund vis-à-vis investors in such other Funds. Investors’ Representative Committee Certain Funds may establish investors’ representative committees, which provides a mechanism for the Advisers to obtain the informed consent of investors to a transaction if the Advisers believe such consent is required or advisable in the context of a particular transaction, including transactions that may involve a conflict of interest. Each investors’ representative committee may consist of Fund investors and/or independent third parties. The same representatives may serve on the investors’ representative committee for multiple Funds. The investors’ representative committees have been structured with the purpose of ensuring that it is independent of the Advisers, and, in fact, acts in the interests of Fund investors. Proxy Voting When an Adviser votes proxies on behalf of a particular Fund, it generally will do so in the interest of maximizing Fund investors’ value (taking into consideration both the short- and long-term implications of the proposal). An Adviser may choose not to vote if doing so would be costly or impractical or the Adviser otherwise deems it to be unnecessary or unwarranted for any other reason. The Advisers may utilize an affiliate and/or third-party service providers to assist in implementing their proxy voting procedures. Different Terms Investors in a particular Fund may participate in such Fund on different terms than other investors in the Fund. For example: the Advisers may agree to provide to certain investors additional or different information (including more detailed and/or frequent information relating to the sub- funds’ investment portfolio and underlying positions) regarding the Fund from that generally made available to other investors in the applicable Fund, the Advisers may permit other Funds (which may have only a single investor) to invest in the same sub-funds as does a particular Fund but such Funds may have less restrictive subscription and redemption provisions than those applicable to such particular Fund, or the Advisers may waive or reduce the Management Fee or Performance Allocation for one or more Fund investors. In determining whether to allow certain investors to invest in a particular Fund or multiple Funds to invest in the same sub-funds on any one or more different terms, the Advisers may consider a number of factors. One consideration will be whether the Advisers believe the different terms have a material adverse effect on the other investors considered as a group or the particular Fund as compared to other Funds. The Advisers may also consider, among other factors: (i) the benefit to the particular Fund or sub-fund from the additional capital that the prospective investor or other Funds would contribute; (ii) the particular legal, regulatory, tax or other characteristics or needs of the prospective investor or other Fund; and/or (iii) whether granting such terms is inconsistent with representations made by the particular Fund or the Advisers to other investors in the particular Fund. please register to get more info

Subject to each Fund’s disclosed investment objectives, policies and strategies, the Advisers have complete discretion to determine the securities they will buy or sell and in what amounts, the broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries the Advisers will use in effecting transactions for the Funds, and what commission rates the Advisers will pay for such transactions. A more detailed discussion of how the Advisers make use of this authority follows. Brokerage The Advisers select the broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries used to effect transactions on behalf of the Funds, and may select or recommend the selection of broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries. The Advisers extensively use the Clearing Services of Citadel Clearing on behalf of the Citadel Clearing Funds in an effort to optimize their funding framework and achieve certain operational efficiencies. In selecting or recommending broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries to effect portfolio transactions, the Advisers may cause a Fund to enter into arrangements pursuant to which the Fund pays transaction costs in an amount greater than would be incurred if another broker-dealer or other financial intermediary were used. The Advisers are not required to solicit competitive bids or seek the lowest available commission or transaction costs. The transactions executed by the Funds may be cleared through, and the Funds’ investment instruments may be held by, a number of financial institutions selected by the Advisers on terms negotiated with each such financial institution individually. The Advisers, on behalf of the Funds, generally use a variety of financial institutions both to take advantage of differing expertise and capabilities and to avoid, due to credit and confidentiality considerations, having all investment instruments concentrated at one or only a few firms. Certain Funds often invest on the basis of short-term market considerations. The turnover rate of such Funds’ positions may be significant, potentially involving substantial brokerage commissions and other fees and expenses. Use of Soft Dollars to Obtain Research In addition to brokerage services, and subject to applicable law, the Advisers may receive products and services from a Fund’s broker-dealers (in respect of the Fund’s investing). The Advisers generally will use “soft dollars” that they believe are within the safe harbor created by Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act. Services the Advisers may receive from such broker-dealers may include research, general market commentary, economic information, trading advice, industry and company commentary, technical data, recommendations, general reports, quotations and other market data or information, and the arrangement of meetings with the management of issuers. The Advisers benefit from these arrangements because the Advisers do not have to produce or pay for the research, products or services received. The Advisers may have an incentive to select or recommend a broker-dealer based on their interests in receiving soft dollar benefits rather than on the Funds’ interest in receiving most favorable execution. The services a Fund receives and pays for from broker-dealers may be used by Citadel Related Parties, including in servicing other Funds, and the Advisers may not use certain of such services to benefit the Funds. The Advisers follow procedures they believe are reasonably designed to ensure that soft dollars are used in a manner consistent with seeking best execution, and to ensure that the Advisers identify which services are within or outside the safe harbor. Allocation of Investment Opportunities While the Advisers use reasonable efforts to allocate or rotate investment opportunities among the Funds in a manner which the Advisers deem equitable over time (giving due consideration to the difference among the investment strategies employed on behalf of the various Funds), there can be no assurance that any Fund will be treated equally or pro rata. The Advisers consider factors that they deem relevant in determining how to allocate investment opportunities among the Funds, which may include investment objectives, time horizons, investment strategies, current portfolio holdings and weightings, tax issues, regulatory implications, working capital, risk levels and other considerations. Due to regulatory restrictions, certain Fund investors generally may not be permitted to participate in certain increases and decreases in a Fund’s asset value. Consequently, such increases and decreases generally are allocated entirely to the other investors’ capital accounts. As a result of such non-pro rata allocations, it is possible that losses properly attributable to one or more Fund investors could be borne by other Fund investors. Aggregation of Trade Orders Subject to the Advisers’ principal objectives of seeking to obtain best execution and treating each Fund fairly, the Advisers are permitted to aggregate orders they send to the market for more than one Fund managed by the Advisers and determine an allocation method for aggregated orders. The Advisers may use various allocation methods. Regardless of the allocation method chosen, adjustments may be made to allocations, such as to avoid excessively small allocations. please register to get more info

One or more senior members of a portfolio management team have primary responsibility for reviewing Fund investment portfolios and do so either individually or in a group depending upon each Fund’s needs and the conditions of each market. Portfolio managers typically perform intraday, daily, weekly or monthly reviews of positions as they deem appropriate, or otherwise as they feel is needed. Among other reasons, portfolio managers may undertake reviews because of: changes in market conditions; changes in security positions; or changes in the Advisers’ strategy for a Fund. Performance in connection with investment objectives, security positions and other investment opportunities are among the matters that a portfolio manager might consider. The number of Funds the Advisers assign to portfolio managers varies as a result of differing Fund characteristics and changes in strategy over time. The Advisers manage certain positions using automated systems and/or trade using automated systems. The Funds typically provide in writing to investors audited annual financial statements, periodic unaudited performance reports, and, for U.S. Funds, all tax information relating to their investments in the Fund necessary for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Other information may be provided as agreed upon with a Fund or an investor. please register to get more info

The Advisers have adopted written Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Following is a summary of the key provisions: When the Advisers vote proxies on behalf of a Fund, the Advisers generally will do so in the interest of maximizing value to such Fund (taking into consideration both the short- and long-term implications of the proposal). The Advisers may choose not to vote if doing so would be costly or impractical or the Advisers otherwise deem it unnecessary or unwarranted for any other reason. The Advisers may utilize a related person and/or third party service providers to assist in implementing their proxy voting procedures or may assign the right to vote proxies to a third party or related person. Funds may obtain information about how the Advisers voted proxies for securities in their accounts or obtain a copy of the Advisers’ written proxy voting policy by contacting Citadel’s Client and Partner Group. The Advisers will generally file class action claims on behalf of a Fund when doing so is in the interest of maximizing value to such Fund (taking into consideration both the short- and long-term implications of such claim). The Advisers may utilize a related person and/or third party service providers to assist in class action claim filings and settlement processing. please register to get more info

Appendix A
Notice of Privacy Policy Citadel considers privacy to be a fundamental component of its overall business, and it is particularly critical with respect to its relationship with its investors. In the course of managing the Funds, the Advisers collect personal information (“Personal Information”) about their natural person investors and the employees, partners, members, directors, representatives or similar of corporate investors who are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) (each an “EEA investor representative”). Please read this notice carefully to understand what the Advisers do with Personal Information pursuant to Citadel’s Privacy Policy. The Advisers collect this information in order to know who their investors are and to meet their obligations under applicable laws and regulations. Please note that the Advisers are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of Personal Information at all times. Collection of Personal Information Citadel collects and retains Personal Information only as permitted by law and when Citadel reasonably believes doing so would be useful in furtherance of carrying out Citadel’s responsibilities. Citadel may collect Personal Information from:
• subscription and other forms submitted to Citadel;
• correspondence, written or electronic, and/or telephone contacts with investors;
• transaction history of investor account(s) with Citadel; and
• information made available from third parties (e.g., transfer applications). Personal Information that Citadel collects may include, but is not limited to, investor or EEA investor representative:
• names, addresses and telephone numbers;
• social security numbers and/or tax identification numbers;
• financial circumstances and income;
• account holdings and transactions;
• wire transfer instructions; and
• other Personal Information provided to us. Citadel uses Personal Information in the course of business, for tasks such as processing transactions, maintaining investor accounts, and responding to court orders and legal investigations. The Advisers may also use this information to communicate with investors and offer products and services to investors. For further details regarding the use of Personal Information under E.U. data protection laws, please refer to the Privacy Notice for EEA Data Subjects published on www.citadel.com. Disclosure of Personal Information The Advisers do not knowingly disclose or transfer Personal Information to third parties, except: (1) to professional service providers who need to know such information in order to carry out Citadel’s operations; (2) to regulators (for example, Citadel may be required to report an investor’s income to taxation authorities); (3) to market intermediaries; or (4) as otherwise permitted or required by law. The disclosure practices set forth above are consistent with U.S. Federal privacy and related laws, and in general, investors may not limit the Advisers’ use of their Personal Information for these purposes under such laws. The Advisers note that the U.S. Federal privacy laws only give investors the right to limit certain types of information sharing in which they do not engage (e.g., sharing with their affiliates certain information relating to their investors’ transaction history or creditworthiness for their use in marketing to such investors, or sharing any Personal Information with non-affiliates for them to market to such investors).

Due to the international operations of Citadel, where necessary to deliver relevant services, Personal Information for EEA natural person investors or EEA investor representatives may be transferred to countries outside of the EEA which may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in the EEA -- including to the U.S. for the purposes of sharing the data with non-EEA Citadel affiliates and the Administrator of the relevant Fund or account. In addition, such Personal Information may be stored on servers outside the EEA. In such a case, Citadel will comply with our legal and regulatory obligations in relation to the Personal Information including but without limitation having a lawful basis for transferring the Personal Information and putting appropriate safeguards in place to ensure an adequate level of protection for the Personal Information. Personal Information for natural persons who have a relationship with Citadel Asia is being transferred outside of Hong Kong. Citadel processes this personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy. In addition, the Advisers’ use of personal information may be subject to various privacy laws of Hong Kong, including the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance. Security of Personal Information Citadel maintains reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of Personal Information in our custody and control. Citadel restricts access to Personal Information to employees and service providers who are involved in administering those accounts. The Advisers generally limit access to those who have a need-to-know the information in furtherance of a legitimate Citadel business purpose.
