Conclusions: . Over a longer period of time, the best way to maximize results is to not have losses in the short term. In other words, consistent positive monthly
returns (even small returns) yield dramatically better results than volatile returns, especially when volatile returns include monthly losses. Monthly drawdowns are
to be avoided. Alternative investments, such as hedge funds, are solutions to seek to achieve consistent positive returns in any market environment. Traditional
(long- only) equity strategies are rarely profitable when the S&P 500 goes down. Many “special situation” hedge funds can be profitable when the S&P 500 goes
down. For a taxable investor with a long-term horizon, the difference in total net return is even that much more significant when there is a “tax efficient” solution
available to defer annual K1 taxes on investment gains. Accumulation of the slow & steady ROI in Manager B will outperform in the long run.

Portfolio (Platform) Construction
Factors for Allocation to Platform’s Trading Managers (Sub-Advisors)
• Sub-advisor Allocations are Weighted Largely According to Expected Risk-
Adjusted Returns
• Prop Trader Commitment of “First Loss” Capital (“Reserve”):
– Limited Drawdown Frequency/Magnitude/Probability
– Affects “Buying Power” & Economics
• Alpha Generation
– Structural Competitive Advantages of Any Allocations to “Less Liquid” &
“Special Situation” Strategies
– HFT Applications (Systematic Algorithmic Trading)
• Market-Making
• Order Book Scalping
• Agency Commissions and Liquidity Rebates
– Variable Revenue Generation via Discretionary Trading P&L
• Weighted Probability of Loss/Stop-Loss Trigger vs. Upside Potential
• Liquidity Cost of a Forced Liquidation
• Analysis of Strategy in a Specific Market Environment (Opportunistic)
• Correlation of Strategy to Other Fund Managers and to the S&P 500 in a Specific
Market Environment
• Time Horizon Expectation for P&L Realization
HFT & “Special Situation” Strategies Generate Outsized “Alpha.” “First Loss” is
Defensive Allocation.
Risk Management Discretion to Liquidate/Overlay (Hedge) Individual Prop Traders
or Aggregate Portfolio
Currently, the Fund Allocates to 5-6 Sub-Advisors. As AUM Increases, the Number
of Sub-Advisors Should Also Increase (Ultimately, 10-20 Managers).

Competitive Advantages
Portfolio of Managed Accounts (MA).
(We Customize & Control the Risk in Each MA.) See Page 5.
The Fund’s Principal has an Extensive Network to Source Innovative Product and Abundant Trading
Experience to Perform Sub-Advisor Due Diligence, Portfolio Construction, Risk Management, etc.
Please See Bio on Page 14. Augustus Advisors LLC is Positioned as an OCIO (Outsourced CIO),
Specializing in “Alternative Investments.” The Fund’s Principal is related to the family of a $14 billion
dollar, Multi-Family Office (Offit Capital). Several family members are the core investors in the Fund.
It Is Usually Difficult To Identify, Much Less Allocate Capital To, Either “First Loss” Prop Firms or
Hft/Electronic Market-making/Order Book Scalping/News Event Strategies or to The “Less Liquid,
Alternative,” Special Situation Strategies (I.E. Direct Lending, Life Settlements, Debt Receivables),
Because They Are Usually Closed To External Investment or Lacking In Scalability And Capacity. They
Usually Trade Inefficient Market Sectors And Face Limited Competition. Such Firms And Strategies
Have Evidenced The Unique Ability to Make Consistent Positive Returns In All Market Environments,
Assuming Reasonable Levels Of Volatility.
• “First Loss” Allocations: Reduce Risk of Loss in the Portfolio
• HFT and Special Situation Strategies: Compelling “Alpha” Generation
Alignment of Interests: Both Fund Principals and Prop Traders Invest “A Significant % of Their Liquid
Net Worth” in the Strategy.
“First Loss” Reserve & Strict Stop Loss Limits Combine to Minimize Probability/Frequency/Magnitude
of Losses
Historical Performance
According to our attorneys, because the nature of the current allocations of the Augustus Fund to our sub-advisor
strategies is so radically different (less liquid, less correlated to securities markets, more nuanced, etc.) from those
prop trading/algo quant strategies used exclusively in the past, it would be inappropriate and misleading to
proactively display and promote the Fund’s 15 year historical performance history. This performance history is now
available upon request only.
Please refer to the attached Executive Summary, which includes a pro forma history of our current sub-advisor
strategies based on existing weighted average allocation percentages, as well as details on each strategy and its own
individual performance history. Beginning with October, 2018, on the advice of counsel, the Augustus Fund began to
document our own new net monthly, audited performance history based on real money allocations to these products.
We appreciate your understanding and consideration.

Bio
Mark Abeshouse
is the General Partner of the Augustus International Master Fund LP. His primary responsibilities are to manage the Fund’s day-to-day activities
involving capital allocation and portfolio risk management, operations and administration, marketing and client servicing, and the sourcing of
potential prop traders anywhere in the world. Mr. Abeshouse is the Chairman and Managing Member of Augustus Capital I LLC, which is the
successor firm to Augustus Capital LLC (formerly a FINRA broker-dealer), Augustus Trading LLC, and Augustus Advisors LLC. Augustus Capital I
serves multiple functions as a small “ family office,” where it allocates its proprietary assets and those of its clients for whom it advises on global
asset allocation, in various areas of “alternative investments” such as hedge funds, private equity, real estate, natural resources, etc. Augustus
Trading LLC is a (dormant) Broker-Dealer Market Maker on the Pacific Stock Exchange. Augustus Advisors LLC is the General Partner to the

President of Horton Point LLC, a fintech investment platform focused on alternative investments (hedge funds). Currently, Mark is in conversation
to become a principal and equity owner of a new firm specializing in a very innovative product in global real estate, in which the investor can, for
the first time, manage real estate exposure risk and make money when the real estate cycle turns down.
He has a diverse background on both the buy and sell sides of Wall Street as a trader and portfolio manager for major institutions. In the first half of
his career to date, he was a U.S. government bond trader at Salomon Brothers, a trading desk manager (specializing in derivatives of all asset
classes) at Morgan Stanley, and a discretionary global portfolio manager at Lazard Freres Asset Management. These experiences included time
spent on the floors of various exchanges. Prior to founding Augustus Capital LLC in 1997, Mr. Abeshouse was a founding principal and Managing
Director of the Aries Fund, a health care and biotech hedge fund, where he was responsible for risk management, business development, and
marketing. He has had the following effective U.S. Securities Registrations: Series 3 (Commodity Features); Series 5 (Interest Rate Options); Series 7
(General Securities Representative); Series 15 (Foreign Currency Options); Series 24 (General Securities Principal); Series 63 (State Blue Sky); Series 65
(Registered Investment Advisor); and Series 79 (Investment Banking).
He graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a BS Economics with a major in Finance (1978)
and Magna Cum Laude from the Graduate Business School of the University of Chicago with an MBA with a major in Finance (1980). He is a
member of the Pi Gamma Mu and Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Societies. He is actively involved in a variety of community and charitable

  • 4. 4 Fund Structure • Master Feeder Structure – Domestic Feeder: U.S. Taxable – Offshore Feeder: U.S. Tax-Exempt and Non-U.S. • Separately Managed Accounts (Pari Passu with Fund) • Possible Customization: UCITS, “White Label” • Managed Account Allocation Platform • Intraday (and Overnight) Stop Loss Risk Limits/Exposure/Buying Power Parameters • “First Loss” Co-Investment (“Skin in the Game”) Preferred Prop Traders Investors
  • 5. 5 Sub-Advisor SMAs vs. FOFs Avoid Expenses Embedded in Sub-Advisor “Fund” Customized Stop Loss Limits (Daily, Monthly) Negotiate Customized (Lower) Management/Performance Fees in SMAs Customized (Superior) Liquidity in SMAs • No Lock-Up • No Redemption Fees • Shorter Notice Period Intraday, Real-Time Portfolio Transparency in SMAs • P&L • Aggregated Net Exposure → Hedge Overlay
  • 6. Investment Philosophy “State-of-the-Art” Risk Management Technology Diversification Generate Superior Risk-Adjusted Returns/Non-Correlated to Securities Markets • Profit Attribution From Structural Competitive Advantages of Sub-Advisors • Compelling “Less Liquid, Special Situation” Strategies • Prop Trading Focus on Ultra Short-Term Trading Time Horizon and Liquidity; Market Neutrality • “First-Loss” Risk Protection Alignment of Interests via Managed Account Platform Power of Positive Compounding 6

Over a longer period of time, the best way to maximize results is to not have losses in the short term. In other words, consistent positive monthly returns (even small returns) yield dramatically better results than volatile returns, especially when volatile returns include monthly losses. Monthly drawdowns are to be avoided. Alternative investments, such as hedge funds, are solutions to seek to achieve consistent positive returns in any market environment. Traditional (long- only) equity strategies are rarely profitable when the S&P 500 goes down. Many “special situation” hedge funds can be profitable when the S&P 500 goes down. For a taxable investor with a long-term horizon, the difference in total net return is even that much more significant when there is a “tax efficient” solution available to defer annual K1 taxes on investment gains. Accumulation of the slow & steady ROI in Manager B will outperform in the long run.
  • 8. 8 Portfolio (Platform) Construction “Special Situation” Less Liquid Strategies (Private Debt, Direct Lending, Life Settlements, Debt Receivables, Equipment Leasing, Litigation Finance, Weather Derivatives, Trade Finance, Syndicate Desk Activities, Exchange-Based Agency Trading/Market Making Activities, etc.) Electronic Market Making/Order Book Scalping Ultra Short-Term, High Frequency Trading “Special Situation” Artificial Intelligence/Algo Quant “First Loss,” Short-Term, Market-Neutral/Arbitrage Volatility Arbitrage (Options) “Multi” Asset Class • Equities • Fixed Income (including “Private Debt”) • Foreign Exchange • Commodities • Other “Multi” Global Market “Multi” Type of Security • Cash Settled • Options • Futures • Futures Options • ETFs • Indices • OTC “Special Situations” All Prop Positions/Securities Must Be Publicly-Traded, Exchange-Listed, and “Liquid” All Liquid Trading Strategies Must Offer an Automated, Quantitative Approach with Definable Technological Edges Eligible Strategies Characteristics of Eligible Strategies
  • 9. Sub-Advisor Selection 9 Portfolio (Platform) Construction Sourcing of Talent Due Diligence • Qualitative Background Verification/AML/KYC • Qualitative Analysis of Prop Trader’s Algorithmic Technological Edge • Quantitative Analysis of Historical Performance – Trading Frequency – Drawdowns – Track Record in “S&P 500 Negative Months” – Leverage – Correlation of Returns with Existing Fund Sub-Advisors & the S&P 500 “First Loss” Capital Investment (Prop Trader “Reserve”) Strategy Diversification Factor (re: Aggregate Fund Portfolio) “Uniqueness” of Any “Less Liquid” or “Special Situation” Strategy
  • 10. Capital Allocation Optimization Process 10 Portfolio (Platform) Construction Factors for Allocation to Platform’s Trading Managers (Sub-Advisors) • Sub-advisor Allocations are Weighted Largely According to Expected Risk- Adjusted Returns • Prop Trader Commitment of “First Loss” Capital (“Reserve”): – Limited Drawdown Frequency/Magnitude/Probability – Affects “Buying Power” & Economics • Alpha Generation – Structural Competitive Advantages of Any Allocations to “Less Liquid” & “Special Situation” Strategies – HFT Applications (Systematic Algorithmic Trading) • Market-Making • Order Book Scalping • Agency Commissions and Liquidity Rebates – Variable Revenue Generation via Discretionary Trading P&L • Weighted Probability of Loss/Stop-Loss Trigger vs. Upside Potential • Liquidity Cost of a Forced Liquidation • Analysis of Strategy in a Specific Market Environment (Opportunistic) • Correlation of Strategy to Other Fund Managers and to the S&P 500 in a Specific Market Environment • Time Horizon Expectation for P&L Realization HFT & “Special Situation” Strategies Generate Outsized “Alpha.” “First Loss” is Defensive Allocation. Risk Management Discretion to Liquidate/Overlay (Hedge) Individual Prop Traders or Aggregate Portfolio Currently, the Fund Allocates to 5-6 Sub-Advisors. As AUM Increases, the Number of Sub-Advisors Should Also Increase (Ultimately, 10-20 Managers).
  • 11. (Multi-Layered) Risk Management 11 Portfolio (Platform) Construction Prop-Trader “First Loss” Reserve Stop Loss Limits • 1% Daily • 2.5% Monthly • 5% Since Inception • The Sub-Advisor “Owns” any Excess Loss over 1% + 2.5% Limits “State-of-the-Art” Technology • Managed Account Platform for Platform Traders – Real Time, Tick-by-Tick Intraday Monitoring & Transparency • Trade Execution • Portfolio Composition (Positions) and Exposure • P&L vs. Stop Loss Limit – Liquidity > Dynamic Portfolio Management • Multiple Providers of Risk Management Software Risk Management Discretion • Stop-Loss Limits, Exposure Limits, Buying Power on Aggregate Portfolio • Overlays • Cash Balances Prime Broker Risk Analysis • Intraday • Overnight Fund Administrator Risk Analysis
  • 12. 12 Competitive Advantages Portfolio of Managed Accounts (MA). (We Customize & Control the Risk in Each MA.) See Page 5. The Fund’s Principal has an Extensive Network to Source Innovative Product and Abundant Trading Experience to Perform Sub-Advisor Due Diligence, Portfolio Construction, Risk Management, etc. Please See Bio on Page 14. Augustus Advisors LLC is Positioned as an OCIO (Outsourced CIO), Specializing in “Alternative Investments.” The Fund’s Principal is related to the family of a $14 billion dollar, Multi-Family Office (Offit Capital). Several family members are the core investors in the Fund. It Is Usually Difficult To Identify, Much Less Allocate Capital To, Either “First Loss” Prop Firms or Hft/Electronic Market-making/Order Book Scalping/News Event Strategies or to The “Less Liquid, Alternative,” Special Situation Strategies (I.E. Direct Lending, Life Settlements, Debt Receivables), Because They Are Usually Closed To External Investment or Lacking In Scalability And Capacity. They Usually Trade Inefficient Market Sectors And Face Limited Competition. Such Firms And Strategies Have Evidenced The Unique Ability to Make Consistent Positive Returns In All Market Environments, Assuming Reasonable Levels Of Volatility. • “First Loss” Allocations: Reduce Risk of Loss in the Portfolio • HFT and Special Situation Strategies: Compelling “Alpha” Generation Alignment of Interests: Both Fund Principals and Prop Traders Invest “A Significant % of Their Liquid Net Worth” in the Strategy. “First Loss” Reserve & Strict Stop Loss Limits Combine to Minimize Probability/Frequency/Magnitude of Losses
  • 13. Historical Performance According to our attorneys, because the nature of the current allocations of the Augustus Fund to our sub-advisor strategies is so radically different (less liquid, less correlated to securities markets, more nuanced, etc.) from those prop trading/algo quant strategies used exclusively in the past, it would be inappropriate and misleading to proactively display and promote the Fund’s 15 year historical performance history. This performance history is now available upon request only. Please refer to the attached Executive Summary, which includes a pro forma history of our current sub-advisor strategies based on existing weighted average allocation percentages, as well as details on each strategy and its own individual performance history. Beginning with October, 2018, on the advice of counsel, the Augustus Fund began to document our own new net monthly, audited performance history based on real money allocations to these products. We appreciate your understanding and consideration. 13 1st Quarters 2nd Quarters 3rd Quarters 4th Quarters Augustus S&P 500 2015 1.33 2.77 0.80 8.71 14.11 1.38 2016 3.74 2.55 4.06 5.98 17.32 11.96 2017 5.46 11.65 3.94 3.71 26.92 21.83 2018 2.05 3.46 4.49 2.05 12.58 -4.38 2019 2.25 0.78 -0.73 -1.05 1.23 29.51 2020 -0.31 0.63 0.32 -3.08 93.66 65.97
