The Strategy may charge an investment advisory fee as a contingency fee (or a combination of the above), depending on the agreement with the client.

Since this strategy invests in non-performing loans and corporate bonds in Asia, there is a risk that the prices of stocks and other securities in which it invests may fall and losses may be incurred due to the effects of domestic and international economic and political conditions, interest rate fluctuations, and changes in the performance and financial conditions of the issuers. In addition, derivative transactions may be used for currency hedging. The prices of these transactions may fluctuate depending on the underlying securities, indices, etc., and losses may occur in excess of the margin deposited.
