Management fees
Lancaster charges the Feeder Funds management fees on the terms set forth below, subject
to possible negotiation by individual investors in the Feeder Funds and the more detailed
provisions of the Offering Memoranda of the respective Feeder Funds.
The Feeder Funds for Lancaster European LS Equity Funds are charged a management fee of
either 2%, 1.5% or 1.0% per annum of the net asset value of the shares (or equivalent
partnership interests), depending on the share class or subclass (or partnership interest)
invested in. Note that the 2% fee share class is not available in Lancaster European LS Equity
BPI Limited. The Feeder Funds for Lancaster European Equity Funds are charged a
management fee of either 1% or 0.75% per annum of the net asset value of the shares (or
equivalent partnership interest), depending on the share class or subclass invested in. The
Feeder Funds for Lancaster Global LS Equity Funds are charged a management fee of
1.25%, reducing to 1% per annum of the net asset value of the shares (or equivalent
partnership interests), depending on the share class or subclass (or partnership interest)
invested in. In each case the fee is calculated before deduction of that month’s management
fee (and before deduction for any accrued performance fees) as at the end of each month.
The management fee is payable monthly in arrears. For more detail please see the relevant
Offering Memoranda of the respective Feeder Funds.
For all Feeder Funds, fees are deducted from the Investors’ accounts by the Feeder Funds’
Administrator.
Lancaster and its partners, members, directors and employees do not accept compensation,
including sales charges or service fees, from any person for the sale of securities or other
investment products.
Other fees Administrator
The Administrator receives from the Master Funds a fee of up to 0.12% per annum,
calculated monthly, of the Net Asset Value of the Master Funds, subject to a minimum
monthly administration fee of US$10,000 for each Master Fund. The Administrator will also
be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses necessarily incurred in the
performance of its duties.
Prime Broker/Custodians and Custodians
Each of the Prime Broker/Custodians and Custodians receives such fees as may be agreed
with the Master Funds from time to time which will be paid at normal commercial rates. The
Prime Broker/Custodians receive prime brokerage fees which are based upon a combination
of transactions charges, safekeeping fees and interest costs. The Prime Broker/Custodians
charge interest on debit balances at rates agreed with Lancaster and the Master Funds from
time to time.
Other Fees and Expenses
Other fees and expenses that may be charged relate to brokerage commissions, expenses
relating to clearing and settlement charges; external research costs; professional fees
(including expenses of consultants, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other
experts) relating to investments; legal expenses; external accounting and valuation expenses
(including the cost of accounting software packages); audit and tax preparation expenses;
fees of the Directors; costs relating to directors' and officers' liability insurance; costs of
printing and mailing reports and notices; entity-level taxes; corporate licensing; regulatory
expenses (including filing fees); listing fees; organisational expenses; expenses incurred in
connection with the offering and sale of the Shares and other similar expenses related to the
Fund; indemnification expenses; and extraordinary expenses.

Lancaster may also be entitled to receive a performance fee from the Feeder Funds, payable
either annually in arrears, in respect of each period of twelve months ending on 31 December
in each year or payable on redemption. The performance fee is deemed to accrue on a
monthly basis as at the end of each month. All performance fees are payable within 14
calendar days after the last day of each year or, in the case of shares or partnership interests
redeemed during the calendar year, within 14 calendar days after the date of redemption.
The performance fee for Lancaster European LS Equity Funds differs between share classes
(or partnership interests) and is either (i) 17.5% of performance of the relevant Feeder Fund;
(ii) 15% of performance of the relevant Feeder Fund; or (iii) 15% of performance of the
relevant Feeder Fund payable partly at the end of each calendar year (or on the expiry of an
initial lock where relevant) and partly deferred or paid on redemption. In all cases,
performance fees for Lancaster European LS Equity Funds are subject to a high water mark.
Note that the 17.5% performance fee share class is not available in Lancaster European LS
Equity BPI Limited.
The performance fees for the share classes (or partnership interests) of Lancaster European
Equity Funds where performance fees are applicable are either: (i) a fee equal to 10% of
performance above an index hurdle rate paid partly at the end of each calendar year (and
subject to a high water mark) and paid partly on redemption or (ii) a fee equal to 15% of
performance of the relevant Feeder Fund above an index hurdle rate paid partly at the end of
the calendar year (and subject to a high water mark) and partly deferred or paid on
redemption.
The performance fee for Lancaster Global LS Equity Funds is 20% of performance of the
relevant Feeder Fund payable partly at the end of each calendar year (or on the expiry of an
initial lock where relevant) and partly deferred or paid on redemption. Performance fees for
Lancaster Global LS Equity Funds are subject to a high water mark.
For more detail please see the relevant Offering Memoranda for each Feeder Fund.
Lancaster may waive an investor’s performance fees in its sole discretion.
Performance based fee arrangements may create an incentive for Lancaster to recommend
investments which may be riskier or more speculative than those which would be
recommended under a different fee arrangement. Such fee arrangements may also create
an incentive to favour higher fee paying accounts over other accounts in the allocation of
investment opportunities. Lancaster has procedures designed and implemented to ensure
that all clients are treated fairly and equally, and to prevent such potential conflicts from
influencing the allocation of investment opportunities among clients.
It is currently not expected that any further hourly, flat or additional asset-based fees will be
charged to the Investment Vehicles.

Investors in the Investment Vehicles and Client Accounts may include high net worth
individuals and a variety of institutional investors. Such investors must meet the
requirements for an “accredited investor” as defined under Regulation D of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and a “qualified purchaser” as defined in Section
2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company
Act”).
Investments may be made in different share classes or subclasses (or partnership interests),
depending on the redemption rights granted. Investors may also select share classes (or
partnership interests) which are eligible to participate in the profits and losses of “new issue”
securities.
Minimum subscription amounts for the share classes or subclasses (or partnership interests)
to the Funds vary between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 (or currency equivalent).
Redemption terms vary between the Funds and the share classes or subclasses (or
partnership interests) of those funds. For more detail please see the Offering Memoranda of
the relevant Funds.
In each case there is a minimum additional investment as outlined in the relevant Offering
Memoranda.
The above requirements do not apply to direct or indirect investments by Lancaster, its
affiliates or any of their respective partners, directors, employees or connected persons, as
the case may be.
Prospective investors should read the relevant Offering Memoranda for further information.

Methods of analysis and investment strategies
Lancaster’s method of analysis includes fundamental research of potential investee
companies. This is carried out with a view to ascertaining their intrinsic value, with a
particular focus on drivers of profitability and cash generation. The main sources of
information Lancaster uses include:
• Annual reports, prospectuses, filings with regulators
• Company press releases
• Meetings with companies
• News sources
• Research materials provided by third parties
The main focus of investments is large and mid cap stocks, and consequently the Master
Funds expect to have a high degree of liquidity under normal market conditions. The
principal investments of the Master Funds are long and short positions in equities, equity
derivatives and indices. The Master Funds’ investments are sector agnostic. The geographic
focus of the Lancaster European LS Equity funds and the Lancaster European Equity funds is
primarily Europe and for the Lancaster Global LS Equity funds it is Global. The typical
investment horizon is 1-3 years.
Risk of Loss Factors
The Feeder Funds invest all of their assets (to the extent not retained in cash) in the ordinary
shares of the Master Funds and accordingly are not diversified. The nature of the Master
Funds’ investments involves certain risks and the Master Funds may utilise investment
techniques (such as leverage, short selling and the use of derivatives) which may carry
additional risks. An investment in shares or partnership interests therefore carries
substantial risk and is suitable only for persons who can assume the risk of losing their entire investment.
The following summary of certain risks does not purport to be a complete enumeration or
explanation of the risks involved in an investment in the Funds. Prospective investors are
urged to consult their professional advisers and the Offering Memoranda before deciding to
invest in the Feeder Funds. They should consider, among others, the following risk factors
before subscribing:
Leverage
The Master Funds may employ leverage for the purpose of making investments. The use of
leverage creates special risks and may significantly increase both the Feeder Funds’ and the
Master Funds’ investment risk. Leverage creates an opportunity for greater yield and total
return but, at the same time, will increase both the Feeder Funds’ and the Master Funds’
exposure to capital risk. Any investment income and gains earned on investments made
through the use of leverage that are in excess of the costs associated therewith may cause
the Net Asset Value of the Feeder Funds to increase more rapidly than would otherwise be
the case. Conversely, where the associated costs are greater than such income and gains,
the Net Asset Value of the Feeder Funds may decrease more rapidly than would otherwise
be the case.
Counterparty Risk
The Master Funds are subject to the risk of the inability of any counterparty (including the
Prime Brokers and Custodians) to perform with respect to transactions, whether due to
insolvency, bankruptcy or other causes.
Currency Exposure
A portion of the Master Funds’ assets may be invested in securities denominated in various
currencies and in other financial instruments the prices of which are determined with
reference to such currencies. The Master Funds, however, value their investments and
other assets in US Dollars. Accordingly, the value of such investments and assets may be
affected favourably or unfavourably by fluctuations in exchange rates. The Investment
Manager may or may not hedge the foreign currency exposure of the Master Fund.
Investors should therefore not expect that such exposure will be hedged. To the extent
unhedged, the value of the Master Funds’ net assets will fluctuate with US Dollar exchange
rates as well as with price changes of the Master Funds’ investments in the various local
markets and currencies. Forward foreign exchange contracts and options may be utilised to
hedge against currency fluctuations. There can be no guarantee that instruments suitable for
hedging currency or market shifts will be available at the time when the Master Funds wish
to use them or will be able to be liquidated when the Master Funds wish to do so.
Moreover, in most emerging countries the markets for certain of these hedging instruments
are not highly developed and in many emerging countries no such markets currently exist. In
addition, the Master Funds may choose not to enter into hedging transactions with respect
to some or all of their positions. Currency exchange costs will be incurred when the Master
Funds change investments from one country to another.
Many emerging markets have underdeveloped capital market structures where the risks
associated with holding currency are significantly greater than in other, less inflationary
markets. Currency exchange rates are highly volatile and subject to severe event risks, as the
political situation with regard to the relevant foreign government may itself be volatile.
Moreover, if the cash flow of the assets is contingent, it may be difficult to quantify the
attendant cross-currency risk, compounding the risk of changes in underlying currencies by
the other risks in the portfolios. Correlations between these risks are difficult to quantify and,
therefore, difficult to hedge. An inaccurate estimation of the correlation may lead to a faulty
hedge and a consequent loss in the portfolios. It should also be noted that, in highly volatile
markets, predictions of correlation based on historical data can diverge dramatically from
observed market moves.
Subscriptions to the Feeder Funds may be denominated in US Dollars, Euro and Pound
Sterling and are issued and redeemed in those currencies where available. The Investment
Manager may seek to hedge the foreign exchange exposure of the assets of the Feeder
Funds with the aim of minimising the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate between
the US Dollar, the Euro and Pound Sterling on the Net Asset Value per Share of the Euro and
Pound Sterling Shares. Prospective investors whose assets and liabilities are predominately
in other currencies should take into account the potential risk of loss arising from fluctuations
in value between the US Dollar, Euro or Pound Sterling, as the case may be, and such other
currencies.
Debt Securities
The Master Funds may invest in debt securities which may be unrated by a recognised
credit-rating agency or below investment grade and which are subject to greater risk of loss
of principal and interest than higher-rated debt securities. The Master Funds may invest in
debt securities which rank junior to other outstanding securities and obligations of the issuer,
all or a significant portion of which may be secured on substantially all of that issuer’s assets.
The Master Funds may invest in debt securities which are not protected by financial
covenants or limitations on additional indebtedness. The Master Funds may invest in
distressed debt securities which are subject to the significant risk of the issuer’s inability to
meet principal and interest payments on the obligations (credit risk) and may also be subject
to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market perception of the
creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity risk (market risk).
The Master Funds are therefore subject to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks. In addition,
evaluating credit risk for debt securities involves uncertainty because credit rating agencies
throughout the world have different standards, making comparison across countries difficult.
Also, the market for credit spreads is often inefficient and illiquid, which can make it difficult
to accurately calculate discounting spreads for valuing financial instruments.
Derivatives
The Master Funds utilises both exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivatives, including,
but not limited to, futures, forwards, swaps (including credit default swaps), options and
contracts for differences, as part of their investment approach. These instruments can be
highly volatile and expose investors to a high risk of loss. The low initial margin deposits
normally required to establish a position in such instruments permit a high degree of
leverage. As a result, depending on the type of instrument, a relatively small movement in
the price of a contract may result in a profit or a loss which is high in proportion to the
amount of funds actually placed as initial margin and may result in unquantifiable further loss
exceeding any margin deposited.
Other risks associated with derivative use relate to (i) an inability to ensure prompt liquidation
of positions and (ii) imperfect correlation between instruments and the investments or
market sectors being hedged.
Distressed and High-Yield Securities
Investments in the securities of financially troubled companies may involve substantial
financial and business risks, which are often heightened by an inability to obtain reliable
information about the companies and their true financial condition. Investments in companies
that are or become involved in bankruptcy or reorganisation proceedings also may be
adversely affected by the laws of one or more jurisdictions relating to, among other things,
“fraudulent conveyances” and other voidable transfers or payments, lender liability and the
bankruptcy court’s power to disallow, reduce, subordinate or disenfranchise particular claims.
In addition, the markets for distressed and high-yield securities are subject to abrupt and
erratic price movements and excessive price volatility, and are frequently illiquid. Distressed
securities investing requires active monitoring and may, at times, require participation in
bankruptcy or reorganisation proceedings by the Investment Manager.
Highly Volatile Markets
The prices of derivative instruments, including options prices, are highly volatile. Price
movements of forward contracts and other derivative contracts in which the Master Funds
may invest are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and
demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary, and exchange control programs and policies of
governments, and national and international political and economic events and policies. In
addition, governments from time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain
markets. Such intervention is often intended directly to influence prices and may, together
with other factors, cause all of such markets to move rapidly in the same direction because
of, among other things, interest rate fluctuations. The Master Funds are also subject to the
risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which its positions trade or of their clearing
houses.
Illiquidity
It is not anticipated that there will be an active secondary market for the Shares or Interests
in the Feeder Funds and it is not expected that such a market will develop.
Investment Management Risk
The investment performance of the Feeder Funds and the Master Funds for Lancaster
European funds is primarily dependent on the services of Matthew Wood. In the event of Mr
Wood’s death, incapacity, departure, insolvency or withdrawal, the performance of the
Lancaster European Feeder funds and the Master Funds may be adversely affected. The
investment performance of the Feeder Funds and the Master Fund for Lancaster Global
funds is primarily dependent on the services of Simon Hillary. In the event of Mr Hillary’s
death, incapacity, departure, insolvency or withdrawal, the performance of the Lancaster
Global Feeder funds and the Master Fund may be adversely affected.
Illiquid Investments
The Master Funds may make investments that are subject to legal or other restrictions on
transfer or for which no liquid market exists. The market prices, if any, of such investments
tend to be more volatile and it may not be possible to sell such investments when desired or
to realise their fair value in the event of a sale.
Tax Considerations
The Master Funds may be subject to withholding or other taxes on income and/or gains
arising from their investment portfolios, including without limitation taxes imposed by the
jurisdiction in which the issuer of securities held by a Master Fund is incorporated,
established or resident for tax purposes. Where the Master Funds invest in securities that
are not subject to withholding or other taxes at the time of acquisition, there can be no
assurance that tax may not be withheld or imposed in the future as a result of any change in
applicable laws, treaties, rules or regulations or the interpretation thereof. The Master Funds
will not be able to recover such tax and so any change would have an adverse effect on the
Net Asset Value of the Feeder Funds. Where the Master Funds sell securities short that are
subject to withholding tax at the time of sale, the price obtained will reflect the withholding
tax liability of the purchaser. In the event that in the future such securities cease to be
subject to withholding tax, the benefit thereof will accrue to the purchaser and not to either
of the Master Funds.
US Tax-Exempt Investors
Certain prospective investors may be subject to US federal and state laws, rules and
regulations which may regulate their participation in the Feeder Funds or their engaging
directly or indirectly, through an investment in the Feeder Funds, in investment strategies of
the types which the Master Funds may utilise from time to time. Each type of such investor
may be subject to different laws, rules and regulations and should consult with their own
advisors as to the advisability and tax consequences of an investment in any Feeder Fund.
Investment in the Fund by entities subject to ERISA requires special consideration. Trustees
or administrators of such investors are urged carefully to review the matters discussed in the
Offering Memoranda.
