American Ranchland's Opportunity and Advantage

tightening their lending guidelines for lending to farms and ranches due to a reduction in
commodity prices and the association between land values and commodity prices.

ranchlands markets for a changing and growing borrower/owner and from an advance sale

collectables and luxury goods.

is comprised of ranchlands and farmlands owners and experts, as well as structured finance
experts. We have the ability to manage the property in addition to financing it.
• Proprietary deal flow comes from relationships with regional associates, affluent owners,
farm and ranch networks, real estate brokers, estate planners and traditional lenders.

THE FUND SECURITIES (“SECURITIES”) ARE NOT SUITABLE INVESTMENTS FOR ALL INVESTORS. YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE ANY SECURITIES UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND AND ARE ABLE TO BEAR THE LIQUIDITY AND
MARKET RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SECURITIES. AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONLY BY SOPHISTICATED INVESTORS
WITH SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE WITH SIMILAR TYPES OF SECURITIES.
Prospective investors should review the Private Placement Memorandum, including the description of risk factors contained therein, prior to making a decision to invest in the Securities. The Private Placement
Memorandum will include more complete descriptions of the risks described below as well as additional important risks. Any decision to invest in the Securities described herein should be made after reviewing
such Private Placement Memorandum, conducting such investigations as the investor deems necessary and consulting the investor’s own legal, accounting and tax advisors in order to make an independent
determination of the suitability and consequences of an investment in the Securities.
Securities Not Listed; No Market for Securities. The Fund's Securities are not traded on any securities exchange or other market. No market currently exists for Securities, and the Investment Adviser does not
expect that one will develop. The Securities are, therefore, not readily marketable. Although the Investment Adviser expects to recommend to the Fund’s Board to repurchase Securities in accordance with the
terms described herein, no assurances can be given that the Fund will do so. In addition, no assurance can be given that the Fund will offer to repurchase Securities quarterly or at any other interval.
Consequently, Securities should only be acquired by investors able to committheir funds for an indefinite period of time.
Liquidity Risks. The Fund is designed primarily for long-term investors and is not intended to be a trading vehicle. An investor should not invest in the Fund if the investor needs a liquid investment.
No Operating History. The Fund is a newly organized entity with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision.
Lack of Fund Management Experience. Although certain of its personnel have experience purchasing, structuring and managing investments for private investment vehicles, the Investment Adviser itself has no
prior experience acting as investment adviser for any funds or other collective investment vehicles. Accordingly, no performance history is available for the Investment Adviser.
Conflicts of Interest Risk. The Investment Adviser will experience conflicts of interest in connection with the management of the Fund, relating to: the allocation of the Investment Adviser's time and resources
between the Fund and other investment activities; the allocation of investment opportunities by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; compensation to the Investment Adviser; services that may be provided by
the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to borrowers whose loans are included in the Loan Portfolios in which the Fund invests, including origination and loan servicing activities and placement agency services;
investments by the Fund and other clients of the Investment Adviser; the formation of additional investment funds by the Investment Adviser; and differing recommendations given by the Investment Adviser to the
Fund versus other clients.
Credit Risk. The Fund's debt investments will be subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal by the borrowers with respect to such investments. Such non-payment would likely result in
a reduction of income to the Fund and a reduction in the value of the debt investments experiencing non-payment.
Leveraged Credit Risk. The Fund may use a high degree of leverage. The use of leverage is a speculative investment technique that increases the risk of loss to holders of the Securities.
Liquidity Risk. The Fund may invest without limit in assets that, at the time of investment, are illiquid. Illiquid investments may be difficult to dispose of at a fair price at the times when the Fund believes it is
desirable to do so. The market price of illiquid investments is more volatile than that of more liquid investments, which may adversely affect the price that the Fund pays for or recovers upon the sale of such
investments. Illiquid investments are also more difficult to value, especially in challenging markets. The Investment Adviser's judgment will play a key role in the valuation process.
Legal and Regulatory Risks. Legal and regulatory changes could occur which may materially adversely affect the Fund. The regulation of the investment funds such as the Fund has undergone substantial
change in recent years, and such changes will continue.
Loan Prepayments May Affect the Ability of the Fund to Reinvest in Appropriate Assets. Loans are generally prepayable in whole or in part without penalty. There can be no assurance that when a loan is
prepaid, suitable investments that satisfy the Fund’s investment criteria and restrictions will be available for the Fund to purchase. Any delay in reinvestment will reduce the amount of proceeds available for
distribution by the Fund.

representative, if any) is invited, prior to the consummation of a sale of any interest by the Fund to such investor to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Investment Adviser regarding the offering and to
obtain any additional information to the extent the Investment Adviser possesses the same or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, in order to verify the accuracy of the information contained
herein or otherwise.

future performance targets, sample or pro forma portfolio structures or portfolio composition, scenario analysis, specific investment strategies and proposed or pro forma levels of diversification or sector
investment. These forward-looking statements are based upon certain assumptions and involve significant elements of subjective judgment and analysis. Actual events are difficult to predict and are beyond the
control of the Fund, the Investment Adviser, and their respective affiliates. Actual events may differ from those assumed. There can be no assurance that estimated returns or projections will be realized, that
forward-looking statements will materialize or that actual returns or results will not be materially lower than those presented. All forward-looking statements included are based on information available on
the date hereof, and none of the Fund, the Investment Adviser, or their respective affiliates assumes any duty to update any forward-looking statement.
PRIOR INVESTMENT RESULTS
Any prior investment results or returns are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of the future returns on the securities and obligations of the Fund. Future returns are not guaranteed, and a
loss of original capital may occur. Because of portfolio restrictions that apply to the Fund and differences in market conditions, the investments selected by Investment Adviser on behalf of the Fund may differ
substantially from the investments made by Investment Adviser and its affiliates for their own account or on behalf of other pooled investment vehicles managed by it.

  • 16. Legal Disclaimer Confidential THE FUND SECURITIES (“SECURITIES”) ARE NOT SUITABLE INVESTMENTS FOR ALL INVESTORS. YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE ANY SECURITIES UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND AND ARE ABLE TO BEAR THE LIQUIDITY AND MARKET RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SECURITIES. AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONLY BY SOPHISTICATED INVESTORS WITH SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE WITH SIMILAR TYPES OF SECURITIES. Prospective investors should review the Private Placement Memorandum, including the description of risk factors contained therein, prior to making a decision to invest in the Securities. The Private Placement Memorandum will include more complete descriptions of the risks described below as well as additional important risks. Any decision to invest in the Securities described herein should be made after reviewing such Private Placement Memorandum, conducting such investigations as the investor deems necessary and consulting the investor’s own legal, accounting and tax advisors in order to make an independent determination of the suitability and consequences of an investment in the Securities. Securities Not Listed; No Market for Securities. The Fund's Securities are not traded on any securities exchange or other market. No market currently exists for Securities, and the Investment Adviser does not expect that one will develop. The Securities are, therefore, not readily marketable. Although the Investment Adviser expects to recommend to the Fund’s Board to repurchase Securities in accordance with the terms described herein, no assurances can be given that the Fund will do so. In addition, no assurance can be given that the Fund will offer to repurchase Securities quarterly or at any other interval. Consequently, Securities should only be acquired by investors able to committheir funds for an indefinite period of time. Liquidity Risks. The Fund is designed primarily for long-term investors and is not intended to be a trading vehicle. An investor should not invest in the Fund if the investor needs a liquid investment. No Operating History. The Fund is a newly organized entity with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision. Lack of Fund Management Experience. Although certain of its personnel have experience purchasing, structuring and managing investments for private investment vehicles, the Investment Adviser itself has no prior experience acting as investment adviser for any funds or other collective investment vehicles. Accordingly, no performance history is available for the Investment Adviser. Conflicts of Interest Risk. The Investment Adviser will experience conflicts of interest in connection with the management of the Fund, relating to: the allocation of the Investment Adviser's time and resources between the Fund and other investment activities; the allocation of investment opportunities by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; compensation to the Investment Adviser; services that may be provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to borrowers whose loans are included in the Loan Portfolios in which the Fund invests, including origination and loan servicing activities and placement agency services; investments by the Fund and other clients of the Investment Adviser; the formation of additional investment funds by the Investment Adviser; and differing recommendations given by the Investment Adviser to the Fund versus other clients. Credit Risk. The Fund's debt investments will be subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal by the borrowers with respect to such investments. Such non-payment would likely result in a reduction of income to the Fund and a reduction in the value of the debt investments experiencing non-payment. Leveraged Credit Risk. The Fund may use a high degree of leverage. The use of leverage is a speculative investment technique that increases the risk of loss to holders of the Securities. Liquidity Risk. The Fund may invest without limit in assets that, at the time of investment, are illiquid. Illiquid investments may be difficult to dispose of at a fair price at the times when the Fund believes it is desirable to do so. The market price of illiquid investments is more volatile than that of more liquid investments, which may adversely affect the price that the Fund pays for or recovers upon the sale of such investments. Illiquid investments are also more difficult to value, especially in challenging markets. The Investment Adviser's judgment will play a key role in the valuation process. Legal and Regulatory Risks. Legal and regulatory changes could occur which may materially adversely affect the Fund. The regulation of the investment funds such as the Fund has undergone substantial change in recent years, and such changes will continue. Loan Prepayments May Affect the Ability of the Fund to Reinvest in Appropriate Assets. Loans are generally prepayable in whole or in part without penalty. There can be no assurance that when a loan is prepaid, suitable investments that satisfy the Fund’s investment criteria and restrictions will be available for the Fund to purchase. Any delay in reinvestment will reduce the amount of proceeds available for distribution by the Fund.

Prospective investors are urged to request any additional information they may consider necessary or desirable in making an informed investment decision. Each prospective investor (and each investor’s representative, if any) is invited, prior to the consummation of a sale of any interest by the Fund to such investor to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Investment Adviser regarding the offering and to obtain any additional information to the extent the Investment Adviser possesses the same or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, in order to verify the accuracy of the information contained herein or otherwise. None of the Fund, the Investment Adviser, or any of their respective affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained herein, and nothing contained herein shall be relied upon as a promise or representation, including, without limitation, as to past or future performance.

The Fund, the Investment Adviser, and their respective affiliates disclaim any and all liability relating to this information, including, without limitation, any express or implied representation or warranty for statements contained in and omissions from this information. None of the Fund, the Investment Adviser, or any of their respective affiliates expects to update or otherwise revise the information contained herein except by means of the Private Placement Memorandum relating to the Securities. HYPOTHETICAL ILLUSTRATIONSAND PRO FORMA INFORMATION These materials contain statements that are not purely historical in nature but that are "forward-looking statements." These include, among other things, projections, forecasts, estimates of income or return, future performance targets, sample or pro forma portfolio structures or portfolio composition, scenario analysis, specific investment strategies and proposed or pro forma levels of diversification or sector investment. These forward-looking statements are based upon certain assumptions and involve significant elements of subjective judgment and analysis. Actual events are difficult to predict and are beyond the control of the Fund, the Investment Adviser, and their respective affiliates. Actual events may differ from those assumed. There can be no assurance that estimated returns or projections will be realized, that forward-looking statements will materialize or that actual returns or results will not be materially lower than those presented. All forward-looking statements included are based on information available on the date hereof, and none of the Fund, the Investment Adviser, or their respective affiliates assumes any duty to update any forward-looking statement. PRIOR INVESTMENT RESULTS Any prior investment results or returns are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of the future returns on the securities and obligations of the Fund. Future returns are not guaranteed, and a loss of original capital may occur. Because of portfolio restrictions that apply to the Fund and differences in market conditions, the investments selected by Investment Adviser on behalf of the Fund may differ substantially from the investments made by Investment Adviser and its affiliates for their own account or on behalf of other pooled investment vehicles managed by it.
