carefully before using the presentation. By continuing your use of this presentation and each time you use the presentation, your use indicates your full acceptance of and agreement to abide by this
user agreement in its then current form. If you do not accept the terms and conditions stated in this user agreement, do not use the presentation.

Before making an investment decision with respect to the Earth Wind & Fire Fund Ltd (the “Fund” or “EW&F Fund”) managed by Global Fund Exchange Ltd. (the “Investment Manager”), potential
investors are advised to read carefully the respective offering documents (including any relevant underlying agreements) and the related subscription documents regarding the Fund when they are
available, and to consult with their tax, legal, ERISA and financial advisors. This document contains a preliminary summary of the purpose and principal business terms of the Fund; this summary does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed discussions to be contained in the Fund’s offering documentation. The Investment Manager has the ability in
its sole discretion to change the strategies described herein. Although this document discusses the Fund’s activities in the present tense, such language should be read as anticipatory as the Fund has not
commenced any trading activities and will not do so until it has been formed and it has raised sufficient assets, in the Investment Manager’s sole discretion, to effectuate its objectives and strategies. This
document is being provided to you on a confidential basis solely to assist you in deciding whether or not to proceed with a further investigation of the Fund. This material is provided for informational
purposes only as of the date hereof and is subject to change without notice. Accordingly, this document may not be reproduced in whole or part, and may not be delivered to any person without the
consent of the Investment Manager. This material may not be suitable for all investors and is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as legal, tax or investment advice or as an offer, or the
solicitation of any offer, to buy or sell any securities. No offer or solicitation may be made prior to the delivery of the Fund’s respective offering documents to qualified investors. Before making any
investment, you should thoroughly review a Fund’s offering documents with your legal, tax and investment advisors to determine whether an investment is suitable for you in light of your investment
objectives and financial situation.

An investment in any Fund is not suitable for all investors. Although believed to be reliable, the information contained herein, including investment returns, valuations, fund targets and strategies cannot
be guaranteed. Global Fund Exchange makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy, validity or completeness of such information. This material is not complete and is subject to the more
complete disclosures and terms and conditions contained in a particular Fund’s offering documents, which may be obtained directly from the Fund. No representation or assurance is made that any Fund
will or is likely to achieve its objectives, benchmarks or targeted returns or that any investor will or is likely to achieve a profit or will be able to avoid incurring substantial losses. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results. The Fund is NOT subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, including mutual fund requirements to provide certain periodic and standardized pricing and
valuation information to investors. You should note the following: The Fund represents a speculative investment and involves a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial portion of
his/her investment. Any investment in the Fund should be discretionary capital set aside strictly for speculative purposes. The Funds may invest outside of the United States, which may involve greater
risk. Strategies intended to hedge risk may be partly or wholly unsuccessful. An investment in the Fund is not suitable for all investors. . The Fund's performance may be volatile. The Fund may use
benchmarks or targets for measurement purposes.

There is no guarantee that the Fund's goals, objectives, benchmarks or targeted returns will be achieved or reached. The Fund's fees and expenses-which may be substantial regardless of any positive
return-will offset the fund’s trading profits. The Fund and its managers/advisors may be subject to various conflicts of interest. This summary is not a complete list of the risks and other important
disclosures involved in investing in the Fund and is subject to the more complete disclosures contained in the Fund’s respective offering documents, which should be read carefully. This document
contains forward-looking statements, including observations about markets and industry and regulatory trends as of the original date of this document. Forward- looking statements may be identified by,
among other things, the use of words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” or “estimates,” or the negatives of these terms, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements reflect the
Investment Manager’s views as of such date with respect to possible future events. Actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors beyond the
Fund’s control. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. No party has an obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements in this document. These materials
should only be considered current as of the date of publication without regard to the date on which you may receive or access the information. The Investment Manager maintains the right to delete or
modify information without prior notice. Charts, tables and graphs contained in this document are not intended to be used to assist the reader in determining which securities to buy or sell or when to
buy or sell securities. The EW&F is newly formed and therefore has no operating or performance history. The Hypothetical Pro Forma performance shown is for illustration purposes, should not be relied
upon, does not reflect actual EW&F Fund performance, and is not indicative of the results which may be achieved by the EW&F Fund in the future. Hypothetical pro forma performance results have many
inherent limitations, some of which are generally described below. They are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not involve financial risk or reflect actual trading or asset allocations by
the EW&F Fund using such pro forma results and therefore do not reflect the impact that economic and market factors may have had on the manager’s or advisor’s investment decisions for the EW&F
Fund. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical results and the actual record subsequently achieved. No representation is made that the EW&F Fund’s performance would
have been the same as such pro forma results had the EW&F Fund been in existence during such time. Another limitation is that investment decisions reflected in the pro forma results were not made
using the EW&F Fund’s assets or asset allocation strategy under actual market conditions and therefore cannot completely account for the impact of financial risk on the manner in which the EW&F Fund
would have been managed and the assets allocated. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also
adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for
in the preparation of pro forma hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
No representation is being made that the Fund will or is likely to achieve its objectives or will or will make any profits similar to or will not incur substantial losses.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
The information in this presentation is not intended to constitute legal, tax or accounting advice or investment recommendations and clients should consult their own advisors on such matters.

     Of the top 10 economies in the world, only Russia is not dependent on oil imports

     4 of the top 8 economies in the world – Japan, Germany, France and Italy are 100% reliant on oil imports

     By 2025 the world’s demand for oil is going to be 60% greater than it is today

     China’s annual oil consumption growth rate of 7.5% and India’s of 5.5% are both expected to take a
     quantum leap over the next decade

     Experts say many of the Middle East oil nations, including Saudi Arabia, are already pumping oil from
     known “post peak” fields

     Once an oil field has reached “peak oil” – the rate of decline is dramatic and can be as much as 10% per
     year

Saudi Arabia, Oman, Dubai and Kuwait all
have programs to promote and develop solar

desalination, more efficient use of oil
through fuel cells, carbon sequestration, oil
gasification, and green building.

 The British non-profit International Alert released a
study identifying 46 countries - home to 2.7 billion
people where water and climate stresses could ignite
violent conflict by 2025
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “The
consequences for humanity are grave. Water scarcity
threatens economic and social gains and is a potent fuel
for wars and conflict.”
 "We think there'll be world wars fought about water
in the future," predicts the aptly named Peter Spillett of
RWE/Thames Water, one of the three largest water
companies in the world.

CARBON & EMISSIONS TRADING




“We are witnessing the birth of the
greatest and most complex commodity
market the world has seen.

Last year alone, permits worth more
than £55 billion were traded on the
world’s carbon markets – but future
trading volumes, if all goes global
according to plan, will dwarf these.”

The content contained in this presentation is believed to be accurate at the time it was made, but is provided to users "AS IS" without any express or implied warranty as to merchantability, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sequencing, fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise. Please read this user agreement carefully before using the presentation. By continuing your use of this presentation and each time you use the presentation, your use indicates your full acceptance of and agreement to abide by this user agreement in its then current form. If you do not accept the terms and conditions stated in this user agreement, do not use the presentation. Before making an investment decision with respect to the Earth Wind & Fire Fund Ltd (the “Fund” or “EW&F Fund”) managed by Global Fund Exchange Ltd. (the “Investment Manager”), potential investors are advised to read carefully the respective offering documents (including any relevant underlying agreements) and the related subscription documents regarding the Fund when they are available, and to consult with their tax, legal, ERISA and financial advisors. This document contains a preliminary summary of the purpose and principal business terms of the Fund; this summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed discussions to be contained in the Fund’s offering documentation. The Investment Manager has the ability in its sole discretion to change the strategies described herein. Although this document discusses the Fund’s activities in the present tense, such language should be read as anticipatory as the Fund has not commenced any trading activities and will not do so until it has been formed and it has raised sufficient assets, in the Investment Manager’s sole discretion, to effectuate its objectives and strategies. This document is being provided to you on a confidential basis solely to assist you in deciding whether or not to proceed with a further investigation of the Fund. This material is provided for informational purposes only as of the date hereof and is subject to change without notice. Accordingly, this document may not be reproduced in whole or part, and may not be delivered to any person without the consent of the Investment Manager. This material may not be suitable for all investors and is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as legal, tax or investment advice or as an offer, or the solicitation of any offer, to buy or sell any securities. No offer or solicitation may be made prior to the delivery of the Fund’s respective offering documents to qualified investors. Before making any investment, you should thoroughly review a Fund’s offering documents with your legal, tax and investment advisors to determine whether an investment is suitable for you in light of your investment objectives and financial situation. An investment in any Fund is not suitable for all investors. Although believed to be reliable, the information contained herein, including investment returns, valuations, fund targets and strategies cannot be guaranteed. Global Fund Exchange makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy, validity or completeness of such information. This material is not complete and is subject to the more complete disclosures and terms and conditions contained in a particular Fund’s offering documents, which may be obtained directly from the Fund. No representation or assurance is made that any Fund will or is likely to achieve its objectives, benchmarks or targeted returns or that any investor will or is likely to achieve a profit or will be able to avoid incurring substantial losses. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund is NOT subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, including mutual fund requirements to provide certain periodic and standardized pricing and valuation information to investors. You should note the following: The Fund represents a speculative investment and involves a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial portion of his/her investment. Any investment in the Fund should be discretionary capital set aside strictly for speculative purposes. The Funds may invest outside of the United States, which may involve greater risk. Strategies intended to hedge risk may be partly or wholly unsuccessful. An investment in the Fund is not suitable for all investors. . The Fund's performance may be volatile. The Fund may use benchmarks or targets for measurement purposes. There is no guarantee that the Fund's goals, objectives, benchmarks or targeted returns will be achieved or reached. The Fund's fees and expenses-which may be substantial regardless of any positive return-will offset the fund’s trading profits. The Fund and its managers/advisors may be subject to various conflicts of interest. This summary is not a complete list of the risks and other important disclosures involved in investing in the Fund and is subject to the more complete disclosures contained in the Fund’s respective offering documents, which should be read carefully. This document contains forward-looking statements, including observations about markets and industry and regulatory trends as of the original date of this document. Forward- looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” or “estimates,” or the negatives of these terms, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements reflect the Investment Manager’s views as of such date with respect to possible future events. Actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors beyond the Fund’s control. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. No party has an obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements in this document. These materials should only be considered current as of the date of publication without regard to the date on which you may receive or access the information. The Investment Manager maintains the right to delete or modify information without prior notice. Charts, tables and graphs contained in this document are not intended to be used to assist the reader in determining which securities to buy or sell or when to buy or sell securities. The EW&F is newly formed and therefore has no operating or performance history. The Hypothetical Pro Forma performance shown is for illustration purposes, should not be relied upon, does not reflect actual EW&F Fund performance, and is not indicative of the results which may be achieved by the EW&F Fund in the future. Hypothetical pro forma performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are generally described below. They are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not involve financial risk or reflect actual trading or asset allocations by the EW&F Fund using such pro forma results and therefore do not reflect the impact that economic and market factors may have had on the manager’s or advisor’s investment decisions for the EW&F Fund. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical results and the actual record subsequently achieved. No representation is made that the EW&F Fund’s performance would have been the same as such pro forma results had the EW&F Fund been in existence during such time. Another limitation is that investment decisions reflected in the pro forma results were not made using the EW&F Fund’s assets or asset allocation strategy under actual market conditions and therefore cannot completely account for the impact of financial risk on the manner in which the EW&F Fund would have been managed and the assets allocated. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of pro forma hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results. No representation is being made that the Fund will or is likely to achieve its objectives or will or will make any profits similar to or will not incur substantial losses. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The information in this presentation is not intended to constitute legal, tax or accounting advice or investment recommendations and clients should consult their own advisors on such matters.

Cost of water is &lt;1% of disposable income, increases are inevitable 17.5 million gps (gallons per second) of water are used globally, compared to 41,000 gps of oil.

  6. Talking points: Every second, the world uses 17.5 million gallons of water (compared to 41,000 gallons of oil). $150 billion required to upgrade aging water infrastructure in U.S. $125 billion new funding to build new wastewater treatment plants and expand distribution in China.
  7. PEOPLEGlobal population increases by 79 million people per year, combined with dramatic increased demand from developing countries and a 9% current average oil depletion rate make oil an unsustainable commodityPeople are causing global warming by burning fossil fuels (like oil, coal and natural gas) and cutting down forests. Scientists have shown that far more CO2 is being released into the atmosphere than ever in thousands of yearsRising seas as a result of global warming would inundate coastal communities, contaminate water supplies with salt and increase risk of flooding by storm surge, affecting millions of peopleThe world will need a whopping 64 mbpd of new capacity between 2009 and 2030 to meet an anticipated demand growing at 1.6% per year…. the equivalent of adding 6 new Saudi ArabiasClimate change has become a top political priority. Increased pressure for global action will affect conventional fossil fuels and the economy surrounding themPLANETDemand for oil is increasing; however discovery of new supply has been in continuous decline for over 40 years. The impact of the emissions produced from the increased demand for fossil fuels will be catastrophic for our planet. Increased demand for these commodities will insure depletion of the available reservesFor every 9 barrels of oil we consume, we’re only discovering one. All readily available oil has peaked, leaving reserves that are much more difficult and expensive to obtainHigher levels of CO2 have already caused ocean acidification. Scientists warn of devastating effects on marine life and fisheriesExtreme weather events -heat waves, droughts and floods- are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity, causing loss of lives and property and throwing agriculture into turmoilCO2 can remain in the atmosphere for decades. Even with potential of lowered emission rates, we will be experiencing the impacts of climate change throughout the 21st century and beyondPROFITTraditional fuel sources will still be necessary to satisfy future demand, but will grow cleaner and more efficient with new technologyParadigm shift is occurring, but it will be an evolutionary process converting the planet to renewable resources. This “Bridge” period presents many opportunities for Traditional EnergyFalling commodity prices have delayed many oil infrastructure investments; may result in a supply crunch with higher oil prices than we have ever seen IEA projects spending of $26 trillion by 2030; over $1 trillion per year; to build, maintain and replace energy infrastructureEmerging cleaner technologies applied into traditional energy have the potential for improved efficiencies, increased production and distribution, and improved products and processes all at a reduced footprint
