• Funds de-risked during selloff in first six weeks of 2016 and did not fully participate in ensuing rally caused by central bank intervention

• Commonalities in factor exposures and risk management techniques across managers led to negative alpha amid market volatility in 1Q

• Recovery and normalization from May – August

• Relative Value funds capitalized on a market characterized by a rebound in structured products and a rally in credit

• Macro funds successfully navigated EM sovereign opportunity, “Brexit” and rising energy prices

• Technical factors rather than fundamentals driving performance; creates short-term recent dislocations but future opportunities for alpha

Philosophy The AIP Hedge Fund Group Believes:

The statements above reflect the opinions and views of the AIP Hedge Fund Group as of the date hereof and not as of any future date and will not be updated or supplemented. All forecasts are speculative, subject to change at any time and may not come to pass due to economic and market conditions

• Separating and evaluating the sources of hedge fund returns is the best way to find alpha-producing managers

– Quantitative analysis – identify betas (returns from the market), alphas (returns from timing and security selection) and illiquidity premium

– Qualitative analysis – identify sustainable competitive advantages of managers’ investment process, organization or people

• An informed market view coupled with opportunistic insights determines and refines our portfolio strategy

– Strategic weighting of alpha managers drives long-term consistency

– Tactical shifts and creativity ahead of changing market conditions can add significant value

• Insisting on business quality helps prevent “slippage” of alpha by adverse events, terms or costs

– Underlying manager quality confirmed through operational due diligence

Current Strategy Outlook – September 2016

Distressed / Event Driven Credit

Distressed ratio does not signal current opportunity, but pockets of opportunity exist (Europe, EM sovereign / quasi-sovereign, energy value chain, failed LBOs, secular decline sectors, commodity related issues.)

Equity Long/Short

Current opportunity set remains challenged due to high correlations, low dispersion, central bank intervention and crowding. Opportunities in emerging markets more favorable than developed markets.

Event Driven Equity

Generally healthy environment for corporate activity, but downside risk has increased, driven by record high deal breakage created by regulatory concerns and rich equity market valuation.

Mortgage Arbitrage

Favorable view of residential credit fundamentals and available yield in non-agency RMBS. Less optimistic on commercial real estate trajectory, warranting a relative value approach in CMBS. Agency prepayment strategies represent a diversifying source of alpha, although valuation of derivative instruments is fair.

Statistical Arbitrage

The proportion of single stock returns explained by a common factor has declined from its peak but remains high. High correlations among funds and high short interest ratio levels indicate crowding .

Discretionary Macro

Higher 2016 volatility offset by lower risk taking. AIP Risk on/Risk off measure higher than 2015 but below peak. Lower level of market trends but price trends and momentum have manifested in tradeable idiosyncratic markets.

Systematic Macro

Fundamental strategies negatively impacted by high intra-asset correlations. Current average volatility / high correlation environment neutral for technical strategies. Stable volatility neutral for short-term trading.

CONVICTION SCALE Low Neutral High

Annualized Volatility represents the standard deviation of monthly returns since inception.

Beta represents the Portfolio’s volatility relative to the market. A beta of greater than 1.0 indicates that the Portfolio is more volatile than the market, and less than 1.0 is less volatile than the market. A negative beta indicates the Portfolio volatility has an inverse relationship to the market.

Correlation represents the statistical relationship between the movement of the Portfolio’s net returns and the stated variable.

Cyclically Adjusted Price / Earnings Ratio uses smoothed real earnings to eliminate the fluctuations in net income caused by variations in profit margins over a ten year period.

Price / Earnings Ratio is calculated as the stock price divided by earnings per share.

Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure developed by William F. Sharpe, calculated by dividing the Portfolio ’s excess return relative to the risk-free rate (defined as the rate of return of the Citi Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index) by the standard deviation of the Portfolio’s return.

Sortino Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure developed by Brian M. Rom, calculated by dividing the Portfolio’s excess return relative to the risk-free rate (defined as the rate of return of the Citi Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index) by the downside deviation of the Portfolio’s return.
