IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES FOR BACKTEST PERFORMANCE RESULTS

Backtesting is the process of evaluating a core strategy by applying it to historical data. Backtested performance results are provided for purposes of illustrating historical performance had a core strategy had been available during the relevant period. Backtested performance results are hypothetical and have inherent limitations. AlphaClone makes no representation that any core strategy will achieve performance similar to any backtested performance results. Actual results could differ materially from backtested performance and future results could differ materially from backtested performance. Past performance is no indication or guarantee of future results.

Backtested performance results: (i) do not reflect the deduction of any management fees or trading commissions; (ii) are not based on actual trading and do not reflect any market impact of buying and selling securities, trade timing and security liquidity; (iii) are updated on a quarterly basis following the filing of public disclosure reports by certain hedge fund and institutional money managers; (iv) reflect the closing prices on the rebalance date; (v) reflect prices that are fully adjusted for dividends and corporate actions (e.g., stock splits); (vi) do not reflect any public disclosures filed after a rebalance date; (vii) reflect the historical results of securities which have been, been are no longer, publicly traded; and (viii) reflect the historical results of money managers who are no longer filing public disclosure reports.

AlphaClone does not represent that backtested performance information is accurate, complete or current, and AlphaClone has no liability with respect thereto. The AlphaClone core strategies are subject to change without notice and AlphaClone has no obligation to update you as to any such changes. The information provided herein comes from what AlphaClone believes to be reliable sources. AlphaClone, however, makes no representations as to its reliability or accuracy, and you should undertake independent analysis to ensure the accuracy of the information.
