Investors and prospective investors in any New Legacy Group fund or SPV should refer to the confidential
private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement, LLC operating agreement and other
governing documents for the relevant vehicle for more complete information on the investment objectives
and investment restrictions with respect to such entity. There is no assurance that any of such vehicle’s
investment objectives will be achieved.
Neither New Legacy Group nor its affiliates currently participate in or sponsor a Wrap Fee Program.
please register to get more info
With respect to the fund and SPV vehicles described above (the “Private Funds” or “SPVs” as the context
dictates), the relevant investment manager or managing member of such Private Fund or SPV receives a
management fee based on assets under management and, for some, an additional performance fee or
performance allocation determined as either a flat fee or a percentage of profits, with some performance
fees or performance allocations being triggered only after a minimum return (“hurdle”) is exceeded. In the
case of the Private Funds, such performance fees/allocations are generally subject to a “high water mark.”
The amounts of such fees and allocations are described in detail in the offering documents or operating
agreements for the Private Funds, and generally range from .75% to 2.0% per annum of assets under
management or a negotiated fixed fee in respect of the asset-based fees and from 0% to 20% of profits in
respect of performance fees or performance allocations. Fees are payable in quarterly installments of such
Private Fund’s net asset value in advance on the first day of each calendar quarter. Investors in any of the
New Legacy Group Private Funds bear their pro rata portions of such fees and performance allocations.
Family Office Services clients are charged fees on either a percentage of assets basis or on a flat retainer.
Every fee arrangement is individually negotiated with each Family Office Services client based on their
specific circumstances. These clients may bear additional expenses in the form of trading commissions,
underlying manager fees, and legal, administration and accounting costs, among others.
New Legacy Group or its supervised persons will not receive any compensation with respect to the
purchase or sale of securities or other investment products by any New Legacy Group fund or SPV.
Additional Fees and Expenses With respect to the Private Funds, such funds will bear their own expenses, including interest expense,
brokerage commissions, custodial fees, administration fees and expenses, costs of borrowing securities
to be sold short, research fees and materials (including online news and quotation services), withholding
and transfer taxes, blue sky fees, initial and periodic offering, legal, audit and accounting, consulting fees
and expenses and other professional fees and expenses (which include, for the avoidance of doubt,
regulatory and compliance costs that the respective general partner, managing member or affiliate incurs
in connection with the funds’ operations). For the avoidance of doubt, the Private Funds’ own expenses
include reimbursing an affiliate of the respective general partner, managing member or affiliate for services
and expenses, provided, however, that (with the exception of the Syno Ventures funds) the general
partner, managing member or affiliate caps such Private Fund’s annual expenses at 1% of capital, and
absorbs any excess expenses.
The Private Funds or SPVs will also pay, or reimburse the respective general partner, managing member
or affiliate, for such Private Fund’s or SPV’s organizational fees and expenses, which may, at the general
partner’s discretion, be amortized over a period of five years. (If such treatment constitutes a departure
from generally accepted accounting principles and if such treatment would result in adverse regulatory
consequences, the general partner, managing member or affiliate is authorized to expense such items on
a current basis for financial reporting purposes but nevertheless, in its discretion to continue to amortize
such expenses for purposes of calculating the Private Fund or SPV’s net asset value.)
The general partner, managing member or affiliate, at its sole discretion, may waive or reduce expenses
with respect to one or more Private Funds, SPVs or investors for any period of time. In the event that an
individual investor’s expenses are waived or reduced, the general partner, managing member or affiliate
absorbs the excess expenses and does not pass the expense load to other investors.
Termination The terms of each agreement are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Please refer to the relevant
confidential private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement and/or other governing
documents for details.

In addition to the management fees which New Legacy Group receives in connection with its provision of
investment advisory services, New Legacy Group or an affiliate may receive a performance-based fee or
a special allocation of profits from investors in the Private Funds and/or SPVs. See each Private Fund’s
or SPV’s relevant confidential private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement, LLC
operating agreement, and other governing documents for more detail including the calculation of
performance-based fees. The performance-based compensation arrangements charged will comply with
Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”).
Different client accounts may be subject to different performance-based compensation arrangements.
Certain of the Private Funds will also incur performance-based fees payable to the managers of the
underlying funds in which they invest. Performance-based fee arrangements may create an incentive for
us to recommend investments which may be riskier or more speculative than those which would be
recommended under a different fee arrangement. Such fee arrangements also create an incentive to
favor higher fee paying accounts over other accounts in the allocation of investment opportunities. We
have procedures designed and implemented to ensure that all clients are treated fairly and equally, and
to prevent this conflict from influencing the allocation of investment opportunities among clients.

Our clients include pooled investment vehicles, individuals, including high net worth individuals, trusts,
retirement accounts, estates and charitable organizations and corporations or other business entities.
Minimum Account Size New Legacy Group generally requires minimum investments that range from $50,000 to $1,000,000,
depending upon the particular Private Fund or SPV. This initial minimum investment amount may be
waived by the respective investment manager or managing member at their discretion. Non-Private Fund
clients are also generally required to make a $100,000 minimum investment, but this minimum investment
amount may be waived by the respective adviser at its discretion.
Limited partnership interests in the Private Funds will be offered exclusively to institutional and individual
investors who qualify as accredited investors, qualified clients and/or as qualified purchasers. The New
Legacy Group Private Funds qualify for the exclusion from the definition of investment company under
either section 3(c)(1) or section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

New Legacy Group’s Hedge Fund Advisory investment professionals generally perform extensive
qualitative and quantitative analysis throughout the investment process, conducting a thorough initial
review of the broad universe of prospective investment managers. We identify high quality candidates for
further consideration based on numerous factors including, but not limited to, (i) backgrounds of fund
principals; (ii) fund strategy; (iii) investment process, including risk management; (iv) business goals; (v)
returns; (vi) liquidity; and (vii) market outlook.
Once New Legacy Group’s Hedge Fund Advisory investment team formulates a shortlist of fund
candidates, which is referred to as the Focus List, we conduct onsite interviews with the fund manager
and several of the key members of the team. Even if a manager is deemed to be unsuitable for investment
at any given time, the team often continues to monitor the underlying managers and may re- consider
them for potential investments in the future.
After it is determined that a manager is a fundamental fit for investment, our team performs rigorous due
diligence on all aspects of the fund manager. We examine company practices, cross-reference service
providers, perform background checks on the fund principals, and place reference calls. In addition to
reference checks based on referrals received from the manager, New Legacy’s investment team makes
extensive use of the team’s proprietary database and network of industry contacts to supplement the
manager-supplied reference list with other independent references. In cases where a manager has a track
record longer than one year, we also require and examine audited financial statements prepared by a
reputable CPA firm.
If satisfied with the findings of our due diligence, the team conducts a deep review of the potential
manager’s operational procedures as well as a detailed assessment of risk management prior to
investment. The operational review includes an examination of cash movement procedures, trade
processing, and IT disaster recovery and back-up plans, among other items. Risk assessment allows us
to understand a potential manager’s market outlook, as well as company, portfolio, and position risk.
In the case of both operational and risk reviews, managers are graded on a scale of 1-5, with 1
encompassing managers with perfect or near-perfect practices. Each fund is given separate ranks for
operations and risk. A ranking below a 3 in either category eliminates a manager from consideration.
When a potential manager passes both the operational and risk reviews, the manager is presented to New
Legacy Group’s investment committee (the “Committee”). The findings of the due diligence team’s
operational and risk reviews are detailed in New Legacy Group’s investment recommendation reports. An
investment in any underlying hedge fund manager can only be made upon unanimous approval from the
Committee.
Lastly, the investment team monitors its current managers continually and carefully, conducting both
phone updates and on-site meetings on a regular basis. We pay significant attention to factors that may
indicate a potential “style drift,” placing specific emphasis on consistency of the underlying investment
manager’s personal focus, investment strategy, and operations and risk management procedures.
With respect to New Legacy Group’s Direct Investments/SPV advisory business, our investment
professionals engage in similar due diligence processes as those described above. However, since each
of the underlying investments to be made is generally in one or more operating businesses or assets
rather than a private investment fund, the focus for each underlying investment is to determine if the
business is sustainable, properly managed and financed. In the case of real estate investments, New
Legacy Group assesses the quality of the management team, the location and the current market for rents
and sales in the vicinity of the property, among other things. In the case of collateralized art financings,
New Legacy Group focuses on the authenticity of the piece, the quality, financial security and reputation
of the dealer representing the piece, the current market for pieces from the same or similar artists and the
safekeeping of the piece, among other issues.
With respect to the Advisory Services for Family Offices business, New Legacy Group utilizes a number
of processes, resources and strategies to meet each client’s specific goals. While New Legacy Group’s
primary focus is to identify, research, perform due diligence, allocate to and monitor world class asset
managers on behalf of its clients, we may actively manage some portion of a client’s assets by researching
individual equities, bonds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and mutual funds, building an optimal portfolio
that incorporates a variety of different asset classes, investment styles and instruments to achieve
appropriate return, risk and liquidity targets. With respect to any hedge fund investment that would be
made for a Family Office Services client, New Legacy Group uses the same general detailed process
described above. With respect to any exchange-traded or daily liquidity instruments, including individual
equities, ETFs and mutual funds, New Legacy Group will conduct varying levels of analysis and due
diligence before purchasing any such instrument. The level of analysis will depend on the individual
circumstances of each account and/or instrument, including whether the instrument is managed by a large,
institutional asset manager, whether the instrument is actively managed or passively managed, and other
factors. In determining the proper asset allocation, New Legacy Group considers macroeconomic factors,
geopolitical factors, client risk tolerance and liquidity needs, among other factors, while developing a set
of return expectations that are consistent with each client’s unique circumstances.
Our Investment Strategies
With the exception of the Syno Ventures funds, the New Legacy Group’s Private Funds were established
in order to pursue opportunities available in liquid alternative investment strategies, i.e. Hedge Funds.
The objective of each of these Private Funds is to maximize the long-term total returns to its partners by
earning attractive risk-adjusted capital appreciation. These Private Funds seek to achieve this objective
through the allocation of assets amongst a variety of money managers, geographies, and sectors, as well
as diversified investment and trading strategies.
With the exception of the Syno Ventures funds, the Private Funds operate as “funds of funds.” The assets
of each of these Private Funds are allocated primarily to private investment funds (“underlying funds”) and
to managed accounts (“managed accounts” and, together with underlying funds, “underlying accounts”)
managed by money managers (“underlying managers”) selected by New Legacy Group’s investment
team. The team identifies prospective managers (some of whom are “limited capacity” managers) through
experience, networking and reputation, but will only move forward with an investment after conducting
extensive due diligence on the underlying managers to evaluate the return-generating attributes and risks
associated with investing in the underlying managers. Among the risks that are considered are (i)
systematic vs. idiosyncratic risk; (ii) operational risk, including potential fraud and reputation risk; (iii)
financing and liquidity risk; and (iv) business continuity risk.
These New Legacy Group Private Funds provide investors several advantages over direct investments in
private investment funds, including (i) the ability to invest in a professionally constructed, managed and
monitored alternative investment portfolio; (ii) access to closed funds and/or underlying managers and
funds with high minimum investment requirements; (iii) access to a diverse group of underlying managers
that utilize varying investment styles and strategies; and (iv) reduced risk exposure that comes from
investing with multiple underlying managers that have historically exhibited low correlation to one another.
The multi-manager approach involves allocation of the Private Funds’ assets to underlying managers that
employ different investment styles and strategies, which provides investors access to a diversified group
of underlying managers. Each of the strategies employed by these Private Funds encompasses a broad
range of investment programs that historically have exhibited a low correlation to the performance of
equity, bond and other markets over full market cycles. They include investment programs involving the
use of hedging and arbitrage techniques in the equity, fixed income, currency and commodity markets.
These investment programs employ a variety of sophisticated investment techniques that include, among
other things, short sales of securities, use of leverage, and transactions in derivative securities and other
financial instruments such as stock options, index options, futures contracts, options on futures, and
various forms of swap agreements, including, among others, credit default swaps and variance swaps.
With regard to the Syno Ventures funds, the funds’ investment objective is to generate above-average
returns by investing in, and facilitating the growth of, private early- to middle-stage pharmaceutical,
biotechnology and healthcare-related companies, with a primary focus on companies located in North
America and Europe that may have opportunities for growth and expansion in China, and can benefit from
synergies in the Chinese market and its research and development resources. The funds seek to achieve
their investment objective by investing in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, health information technology,
medical device, diagnostic and healthcare services companies, specifically those with strong potential for
development or commercialization that seek to improve quality of life in China. The funds plan to enhance
the value of their investments by providing growth capital, management expertise, and access to a broad
network of markets and resources, including those in China.
Investment & Security Analysis With the exception of the Syno Ventures Funds, as a component of their strategies, at any given time, the
New Legacy Group Private Funds focus on top-tier managers in the following strategy areas:
Long/short strategies are investments that generally combine long positions in undervalued common
stocks or corporate bonds and short positions in overvalued common stocks or corporate bonds in order
to focus on generating positive returns through the underlying manager’s ability to select securities through
fundamental analysis, while hedging some portion of market risk.
Event-driven and relative value arbitrage strategies generally seek to exploit mispricings between
related instruments or combinations of instruments. These strategies use a variety of techniques to
compare the value of related securities. Event-driven strategies involve fundamental research that
assesses the value of securities within a company’s capital structure or the value of the securities of two
companies that are expected to merge. Event-driven strategies make investments in the securities of
companies involved in certain special situations, including mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, spin-offs,
balance sheet restructurings, bankruptcies, and other situations. These special situations constitute an
“event” which the underlying manager believes will trigger a change in the price of securities relative to
their current price or close the gap between securities that are being arbitraged. Event-driven arbitrage
strategies generally feature portfolios that are actively traded and may exhibit a high rate of turnover.
Credit specialist strategies generally involve long and/or short positions in fixed income securities and
their derivatives. Managers will engage in directional and/or non-directional positions in order to take
advantage of market inefficiencies or anomalies. Sovereign debt, corporate debt, asset-backed securities
(including residential and commercial mortgages, among others) and credit derivatives such as credit
default swaps and collateralized debt obligations are also commonly used by managers in this category.
Credit specialists often use leverage to finance their positions. Distressed securities managers seek to
take advantage of mispriced securities resulting from companies who are having or have had financial
difficulties.
Relative value strategies, such as convertible arbitrage and fixed-income arbitrage, generally involve
sophisticated modeling techniques that assess the value of a given security and a related derivative
instrument, such as equity and a convertible bond, or a treasury bond and a related futures contract.
Underlying managers may periodically utilize leverage and may enter into swaps and other similar financial
contracts in an effort to increase portfolio returns. Managers who employ a “capital structure arbitrage”
strategy may invest in any or all security classes within a company’s capital structure, including equity.
Underlying managers also generally may engage in short selling, options hedging, and other arbitrage
techniques to capture price differentials.
Multi-strategy managers typically seek to profit from allocating to a number of different strategies and
adjusting their allocations based upon perceived opportunities. Because each strategy is not in a separate
fund, these managers often have the ability to utilize higher leverage levels than single-strategy managers.
Macro managers seek to profit from long and short positions in any of the world’s major capital markets (i.e. stocks, bonds, commodities, and currency). These managers typically consider both economic
adjustment themes as well as shorter-term technical conditions when choosing trading positions that
anticipate market movements. They often employ a “top-down” global approach and may invest in multiple
markets in anticipation of expected market movements. These movements may result from forecasted
shifts in world economies, political changes, or global supply and demand imbalances.
Short bias managers seek to profit from maintaining overall net-short portfolios of long and short equities.
Detailed individual company research typically forms the core alpha generation driver of short bias
managers, and a focus on companies with negative cash flow generation is common. Risk management
consists of offsetting long positions and stop-loss strategies. The fact that money-losing short positions
grow in size for a short bias manager makes risk management challenging.
Managed futures managers, also referred to as Commodity Trading Advisors (CTA), generally seek to
profit from investments in listed bond, currency, stock, and commodity futures markets globally. These
managers tend to follow model-based systematic trading programs that largely rely upon historical price
and trading volume data. The most common trading programs are long-term trend following and tend to
invest with directional trends while using stop-loss points to control risk. Other common programs include
short-term counter trend and hybrid systematic/discretionary programs.
Defensive or portfolio hedging refers to direct investments in securities, options, futures and other
derivative products that the New Legacy funds may make in order to hedge certain estimated exposures
the funds may have resulting from the aggregated exposures of the underlying managers. The New
Legacy funds will only utilize this category to offset such exposures. Underlying managers may also be
utilized to fulfill the portfolio-hedging activity.
Our security analysis methods include: charting, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, quantitative
analysis and qualitative analysis methods including cyclical analysis.
Sources of Information In conducting investment analysis, New Legacy Group utilizes a broad spectrum of information, including
financial publications, third-party research materials, annual reports, prospectuses, regulatory filings,
company press releases, corporate rating services, and meetings with management of various companies.
Risk of Loss All investments risk the loss of capital. New Legacy Group believes that its investment programs may
mitigate this risk through a careful selection and monitoring of the client's investments, but an investment
made by New Legacy Group for the client is nevertheless subject to loss, including the possible loss of
more than the entire amount invested. No guarantee or representation is made that investments made by
the New Legacy Group for the client will be successful, and investment results may vary substantially over
time. The past results of the New Legacy Group and its principals in managing investment portfolios are
not necessarily indicative of their future performance.
General Economic Conditions. The success of any investment activity is affected by general economic
conditions, which may affect the level and volatility of interest rates and the extent and timing of investor
participation in the markets for both equities and interest rate-sensitive instruments. Unexpected volatility
or illiquidity in the markets in which the client (directly or indirectly) holds positions could cause the client
to incur losses.
Market Risks. The profitability of a significant portion of the client's investment program depends to a
great extent upon the ability of New Legacy Group to correctly assess the future course of the price
movements of securities and other investments. There can be no assurance that New Legacy Group will
be able to predict accurately these price movements. Although New Legacy Group may attempt to mitigate
market risk through the use of long and short positions or other methods, there may be a significant degree
of market risk.
Risks of Investing in Securities. Prices of securities react to the business and financial condition of the
company that issued them. Prices of a security may rise and fall based on changes in the business or
financial condition of the issuing company, changes in management and the potential for takeovers and
acquisitions.
Non-U.S. Securities. Client accounts may invest, directly or indirectly, in investment entities located in or
managed from countries other than the United States. Investments in offshore funds, and investments
outside the United States or denominated in non-U.S. currencies pose currency exchange risks (including
blockage, devaluation, and non-exchangeability) as well as a range of other potential risks that could
include, depending on the country involved, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political or social
instability, illiquidity, price volatility, and market manipulation. In addition, less information may be available
regarding non-U.S. issuers and non-U.S. companies may not be subject to accounting, auditing, and
financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to or as uniform as those of U.S. companies.
Further, non-U.S. securities markets may not be as liquid as U.S. securities markets. Transaction costs of
investing outside the U.S. are generally higher than in the U.S. Higher costs result because of the cost of
converting a non-U.S. currency to dollars, the payment of fixed brokerage commissions on some non-U.S.
exchanges, and the imposition of transfer taxes or transaction charges by non-U.S. exchanges. There is
generally less government supervision and regulation of exchanges, brokers, and issuers outside the U.S.
than there is in the U.S. and there is greater difficulty in taking appropriate legal action in non-U.S. courts.
Non-U.S. markets also have different clearance and settlement procedures which in some markets have
at times failed to keep pace with the volume of transactions, thereby creating substantial delays and
settlement failures that could adversely affect the client's performance.
Suspensions of Trading. Securities and commodities exchanges typically have the right to suspend or
limit trading in any instrument traded on the exchanges. A suspension could render it impossible for New
Legacy Group to liquidate positions held directly or indirectly by the client and thereby expose the client
to losses.
Illiquidity of Underlying Investments. Assets managed by New Legacy Group may, at any given time,
include securities and other financial instruments or obligations which are thinly-traded or for which no
market exists and/or which are restricted as to their transferability under applicable securities laws. The
sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely
difficult to value accurately any such investments. Further, certain securities in which the New Legacy
Group may invest may not have a readily ascertainable market price and will be valued by the New Legacy
Group in its discretion. In this regard, the New Legacy Group may face a conflict of interest in valuing the
securities, as their value will affect the New Legacy Group's compensation.
Emerging Markets. New Legacy Group may invest directly or indirectly in emerging market securities.
Investing in emerging market securities involves certain risks and special considerations not typically
associated with investing in other more established economies or securities markets. Such risks may
include (a) less liquidity of securities markets; (b) currency exchange rate fluctuations; (c) potentially higher
rates of inflation (including hyper-inflation); (d) a higher degree of governmental involvement in and control
over the economies; (e) differences in auditing and financial reporting standards which may result in the
unavailability of material information about economics and issuers; (f) less extensive regulatory oversight
of securities markets; (g) longer settlement periods for securities transactions; (h) less stringent laws
regarding the fiduciary duties of officers and directors and protection of investors; and (i) certain
consequences regarding the maintenance of portfolio securities and cash with sub-custodians and
securities depositories in emerging market countries.
Currency Risks. Investments in securities or other instruments that are denominated in a foreign currency
are subject to the risk that the value of a particular currency will change in relation to one or more other
currencies. Among the factors that may affect currency values are trade balances, the level of short-term
interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities
for investment and capital appreciation and political developments. New Legacy Group may try to hedge
these risks by investing directly or indirectly in foreign currencies, foreign currency futures contracts and
options thereon, forward foreign currency exchange contracts or similar instruments, or any combination
thereof, but there can be no assurance that such strategies will be implemented, or if implemented, will be
effective.
Debt Securities. New Legacy Group may invest directly or indirectly in unrated or low-grade debt
securities which are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher-rated debt securities.
New Legacy Group 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. New Legacy Group may invest in debt securities which are not protected by financial
covenants or limitations on additional indebtedness. In addition, evaluating credit risk for foreign debt
securities involves greater uncertainty because credit rating agencies throughout the world have different
standards, making comparison across countries difficult.
High-Yield Securities. New Legacy Group may invest directly or indirectly in "high-yield" bonds and
preferred securities which are rated in the lower rating categories by the various credit rating agencies (or
in comparable non-rated securities). Securities in the lower rating categories are subject to greater risk of
loss of principal and interest than higher-rated securities and are generally considered to be predominantly
speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They are also generally
considered to be subject to greater risk than securities with higher ratings in the case of deterioration of
general economic conditions. Because investors generally perceive that there are greater risks associated
with the lower rated securities, the yields and prices of such securities may tend to fluctuate more than
those for higher-rated securities. The market for lower-rated securities is thinner and less active than that
for higher-rated securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which these securities can be sold. In
addition, adverse publicity and investor perceptions about lower-rated securities, whether or not based on
fundamental analysis, may be a contributing factor in a decrease in the value and liquidity of such lower-
rated securities.
Small to Medium Cap Stocks. At any given time, New Legacy Group may have significant direct or
indirect investments in smaller-to-medium sized companies with market capitalizations of less than $1
billion (U.S.). These securities often involve greater risks than the securities of larger, better-known
companies.
Special Situations. New Legacy Group may invest directly or indirectly in companies involved in (or the
target of) acquisition attempts or tender offers or companies involved in work-outs, liquidations, spin-offs,
reorganizations, bankruptcies and similar transactions. In any investment opportunity involving any such
type of business enterprise, there exists the risk that the transaction in which such business enterprise is
involved either will be unsuccessful, take considerable time or will result in a distribution of cash or a new
security the value of which will be less than the purchase price of the security or other financial instrument
in respect of which such distribution is received. Similarly, if an anticipated transaction does not in fact
occur, New Legacy Group may be required to sell its investment at a loss. Because there is substantial
uncertainty concerning the outcome of transactions involving financially troubled companies to which New
Legacy Group may have exposure, there is a potential risk of loss by New Legacy Group of the entire
investment in such companies.
Short Sales. New Legacy Group may directly or indirectly engage in "short selling" of securities. Short
selling, or the sale of securities not owned by the client, necessarily involves certain additional risks. Such
transactions exposes the client to the risk of loss in an amount greater than the initial investment, and
such losses can increase rapidly and without effective limit. There is the risk that the securities borrowed
by the client in connection with a short sale would need to be returned to the securities lender on short
notice. If such request for return of securities occurs at a time when other short sellers of the subject
security are receiving similar requests, a "short squeeze" can occur, wherein the New Legacy Group might
be compelled, at the most disadvantageous time, to replace borrowed securities previously sold short with
purchases on the open market, possibly at prices significantly in excess of the proceeds received earlier.
Options and Other Derivative Instruments. New Legacy Group may use a number of option strategies.
Exchange listed put options and call options typically have similar structural characteristics and operational
mechanics regardless of the underlying instrument on which they are purchased or sold. A put option gives
the purchaser of the option, upon payment of a premium, the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to
buy, the underlying security, commodity, index, currency or other instrument at the exercise price. A call
option, upon payment of a premium, gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the seller the
obligation to sell, the underlying instrument at the exercise price.
With certain exceptions, exchange listed equity and currency options generally settle by physical delivery
of the underlying security or currency, although in the future cash settlement may become available.
Index options are cash settled for the net amount, if any, by which the option is "in-the-money" (i.e., where
the value of the underlying instrument exceeds, in the case of a call option, or is less than, in the case of
a put option, the exercise price of the option) at the time the option is exercised. Frequently, rather than
taking or making delivery of the underlying instrument through the process of exercising the option, listed
options are closed by entering into offsetting purchase or sale transactions that do not result in ownership
of the new option. The client's ability to close out its position as a purchaser or seller of a listed put or call
option is dependent, in part, upon the liquidity of the option market.
If a put or call option purchased by the client were permitted to expire without being sold or exercised, its
premium and intrinsic value, if any, would be lost. The unlimited risk involved in writing a put option is that
there could be a decrease in the market value of the underlying security caused by rising interest rates or
other factors. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be
sold to the client at a higher price than its current market value. The unlimited risk involved in writing a call
option is that there could be an increase in the market value of the underlying security caused by declining
interest rates or other factors. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security
would then be sold at a lower price than its current market value. Purchasing and writing put and call
options and, in particular, writing "uncovered" options are highly specialized activities and entail greater
than ordinary investment risks.
Stops. New Legacy Group may use stops as part of the client's futures trading investment strategy. Buy
stops are orders for futures contracts or other exchange-traded instruments that are placed at a
predetermined price over the current price of the market. The order becomes a "buy at the market" order
if the market is at or above to the price of the stop order. Sell stops are orders for futures contracts or other
exchange-traded instruments that are placed with a predetermined price below the current price of the
market. Sell-stop orders become "sell at the market" orders if the market trades at or below the price of
the stop order. Though stops are generally a risk mitigating mechanism, if the New Legacy Group were to
place an initial stop too close to the entry point of a trade, the stop may minimize the effectiveness of the
trade. In addition, the New Legacy Group may not execute stops at the same stop loss or stop limit that
New Legacy Group initially intended. Also, New Legacy Group may elect not to use stops at all.
Daily Limits on Fluctuation of Commodities Futures Contract Prices. Certain United States and
foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation of commodity futures contract
prices during each trading day. These regulations specify what are referred to as "daily price fluctuation
limits" or more commonly "daily limits." The daily limits establish the maximum amount by which the price
of a futures contract may vary from the previous day's settlement price at the end of the trading session.
Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular commodity for delivery in a particular month, it may
be difficult, costly or impossible to liquidate positions in that futures contract. Although "daily limits" restrict
price movements, they do not limit losses.
Use of Leverage. When deemed appropriate by New Legacy Group and subject to applicable regulations,
New Legacy Group may utilize leverage in a client's investment program, whether directly through the use
of borrowed funds, or indirectly through investment in certain types of financial instruments with inherent
leverage, such as puts, calls and warrants, which may be purchased for a fraction of the price of the
underlying securities while giving the purchaser the full benefit of movement in the market of those
underlying securities. While such strategies and techniques increase the opportunity to achieve higher
returns on the amounts invested, they also increase the risk of loss. To the extent a client purchases
securities with borrowed funds, its net assets will tend to increase or decrease at a greater rate than if
borrowed funds are not used. The level of interest rates generally, and the rates at which such funds may
be borrowed in particular, could affect the operating results. If the interest expense on this leverage were
to exceed the net return on the investments made with borrowed funds, the client's use of leverage would
result in a lower rate of return than if the investment program were not leveraged.
Financing Arrangements; Availability of Credit. New Legacy Group may borrow funds on behalf of the
client, and enter into other financing arrangements. Such borrowings are generally an integral part of New
Legacy Group's strategy and may include the use of margin in securities investing, as well as take the
form of the leverage available in margining futures positions — margined option premiums, repurchase
agreements, bank or dealer credit lines or the notional principal amounts of swap transactions. There can
be no assurance that New Legacy Group will be able to maintain adequate financing arrangements under
all market circumstances.
Commodity and Futures Contracts. New Legacy Group may invest in commodity and futures contracts.
Commodity futures markets (including financial futures) may be highly volatile and are influenced by
factors such as changing supply and demand relationships, governmental programs and policies, national
and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. In addition, because of the
low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, a high degree of leverage is typical
of a commodity futures trading account. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a commodity
futures contract may result in substantial losses to the trader. Commodity futures trading may also be
illiquid. Certain commodity exchanges do not permit trading in particular futures contracts at prices that
represent a fluctuation in price during a single day's trading beyond certain set limits. If prices fluctuate
during a single day's trading beyond those limits -- which conditions have in the past sometimes lasted for
several days in certain contracts -- New Legacy Group could be prevented from promptly liquidating
unfavorable positions and thus be subject, and consequently subject the client, to substantial losses.
Counterparty and Custodial Risk. To the extent that New Legacy Group invests in swaps, derivative or
synthetic instruments, repurchase agreements or other over-the-counter transactions or, in certain
circumstances, non-U.S. securities, client accounts may indirectly take a credit risk with regard to parties
with whom New Legacy Group trades and may also indirectly bear the risk of settlement default. These
risks may differ materially from those entailed in exchange-traded transactions which generally are backed
by clearing organization guarantees, daily marking-to-market and settlement, and segregation and
minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries. Transactions entered directly between two
counterparties generally do not benefit from such protections and expose the parties to the risk of
counterparty default. It is expected that all securities and other assets deposited with custodians or brokers
will be clearly identified as being assets of the accounts managed by New Legacy Group, and hence such
accounts should not be exposed to a credit risk with regard to such parties. However, it may not always
be possible to achieve this segregation, and there may be practical or time problems associated with
enforcing the client's rights to its assets in the case of an insolvency of any such party.
Cyber Security Breaches and Identity Theft. New Legacy Group’s information and technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and
telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches, usage errors by its
professionals, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and
earthquakes. Although New Legacy Group has implemented various measures to manage risks relating
to these types of events, if these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of
time or cease to function properly, New Legacy Group may have to make a significant investment to fix or
replace them. The failure of these systems and/or of disaster recovery plans for any reason could cause
significant interruptions in New Legacy Group’s operations and result in a failure to maintain the security,
confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information relating to investors (and the
beneficial owners of investors). Such a failure could harm New Legacy Group’s reputation or subject it or
its affiliates to legal claims and otherwise affect their business and financial performance. Additionally, any
failure of New Legacy Group’s information, technology or security systems could have an adverse impact
on New Legacy Group’s ability to manage the Funds’ or SPV’s investments which may negatively impact
the value of such investments.

We have adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the Firm describing its high standard of
business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the
confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, restrictions on the acceptance of
significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and personal securities
trading procedures, among other things. All supervised persons of New Legacy Group must acknowledge
the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.
We anticipate that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, New
Legacy Group may recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, allocations to
underlying funds in which New Legacy Group, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a
position of interest. Such recommendation would only be made if an investment would be solely in the
best interest of the client, and in all cases, including those where New Legacy Group has full discretion
over the investment of client assets, only with the prior consent of the client. To the extent that a client’s
assets are invested in another Private Fund advised by New Legacy Group, the target Private Fund may
waive or reduce any fees or other compensation that would be payable to New Legacy Group or its
affiliates in connection with such investments.
We have also adopted policies and procedures to prevent the misuse of “insider” information (material,
non-public information). A copy of such policies and procedures is available to any person upon request.
You may request a complete copy of our Code of Ethics by contacting us at the address, telephone or

In situations where it is necessary, brokers used to execute trades are selected based on the
reasonableness of their compensation based on the range and quality of services provided, including
execution capability, trading expertise, accuracy of execution, commission rates, research, reputation and
integrity, fairness in resolving disputes, financial responsibility, and responsiveness.
New Legacy Group does not have any commitments or understandings with specific brokers, generally
known as soft dollar arrangements. Certain brokers may from time to time provide unsolicited proprietary
research. Receipt of research, even on an unsolicited basis, involves conflicts of interest considerations.
To mitigate any conflict, we adopted a policy that prohibits us from considering any factor other than best
execution when placing a client trade with a broker-dealer. New Legacy Group does not consider referrals
when we select or recommend broker-dealers to clients.
A) Directed Brokerage: A client may be permitted to direct New Legacy Group to execute
transactions through a specified broker-dealer if agreed to in the relevant investment management
agreement. Clients that direct brokerage may not receive as favorable commission rates as
compared to non-directed broker-dealers.
B) Aggregation of Orders: New Legacy Group may aggregate purchase and sale orders of
securities held by clients with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts or
entities if, in New Legacy Group’s reasonable judgment, such aggregation is reasonably likely to
result in an overall economic benefit to clients based on an evaluation that clients will be benefited
by relatively better purchase or sale prices, lower commission expenses or beneficial timing of
transactions, or a combination of these and other factors. In many instances, the purchase or sale
of securities for clients will be affected simultaneously with the purchase or sale of like securities
for other accounts or entities. Such transactions may be made at slightly different prices, due to
the volume of securities purchased or sold. In such event, the average price of all securities
purchased or sold in such transactions may be determined, at New Legacy Group’s sole
discretion, and clients may be charged or credited, as the case may be, with the average
transaction price. Certain clients may not be able to participate in average pricing or commissions
of certain trades. In such cases, New Legacy Group will, in its sole discretion, use best efforts to
aggregate orders in a fair and equitable manner under the circumstances.
C) Allocation of Trades: New Legacy Group may at times determine that certain securities will be
suitable for acquisition by clients and by other accounts it manages, possibly including the New
Legacy Group’s own accounts or accounts of an affiliate. If that occurs, and New Legacy Group
is not able to acquire the desired aggregate amount of such securities on terms and conditions
which it deems advisable, New Legacy Group will endeavor in good faith to allocate the limited
amount of such securities acquired among the various accounts for which it considers them to be
suitable. New Legacy Group may make such allocations among the accounts in any manner which
it considers to be fair under the circumstances, including but not limited to allocations based on
relative account sizes, the degree of risk involved in the securities acquired, and the extent to
which a position in such securities is consistent with the investment policies and strategies of the
various accounts involved.
D) Rebalancing Cross Trades: A cross trade is a trade in which securities are sold or purchased
directly between two of New Legacy Group’s advisory clients, as opposed to the clients purchasing
the securities on the open market. The benefits of a cross trade to the clients are the elimination
of brokerage costs. Also, clients may save on market impact costs or adverse movements in the
stock due to the trade if it is a large block trade. Custody costs and transfer taxes may also be
saved.
Periodically, New Legacy Group may seek to adjust or rebalance investment accounts or portfolios
in a manner consistent with investment objectives and strategy by effecting cross trades between
or among investment accounts. Rebalancing of an account is usually necessary as a result of
cash inflows or outflows but can be necessitated by other factors, including but not limited to when
two clients use the same trading strategy. In the event New Legacy Group deems it to be prudent
or necessary to engage in a cross trade, such cross trade will be consistent with the investment
objectives and policies of each investment account involved in the trades, and will be effected at
the closing market price for the security for the day upon which the cross trade is executed.
Investment accounts involved in such cross trades will not pay any brokerage commissions or
mark ups in connection with the trades, but may pay customary transfer fees (i.e., aggregate ticket
charges) that are assessed through any unaffiliated broker dealers through which the trades are
effected.

New Legacy Group is deemed to have custody by virtue of the fact that it or a related person serves as
general partner or managing member of certain Private Funds and/or SPVs. The SEC’s Custody Rule sets
forth certain requirements for the safekeeping of client assets. Pursuant to the rule, New Legacy Group
retains one or more independent accounting firms that are both registered with and subject to regular
inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") to conduct an annual GAAP
audit of such Private Funds and the audited financial statements are distributed to each investor in the
investment pool (or their independent representative) within 120 days of the fiscal year end of the
investment pool (180 days for funds of funds). In the case of Private Funds and SPVs for which GAAP
audits are not performed, New Legacy Group retains one or more independent accounting firms that are
both registered with and subject to regular inspection by the PCAOB to conduct an annual surprise
examination of client funds and securities.
In addition, upon the final liquidation of any Private Fund that has been subject to a GAAP audit, New
Legacy Group will obtain a final audit and distribute audited financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP with respect to such Private Fund to all investors promptly after completion of the audit.
Family Office Services clients receive statements on at least a quarterly basis from the broker dealer, bank
or other qualified custodian that holds and maintains such investment assets. We urge such clients to
carefully review such statements and compare official custodial records to the account statements that we
may provide to you. Our supplemental reports may vary from custodial statements based on accounting
procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies for certain securities.
