This	
  presenta7on	
  is	
  intended	
  to	
  be	
  a	
  brief	
  summary	
  overview	
  of	
  an	
  investment	
  in	
  the	
  Fund.	
  Any	
  recipient	
  of	
  this	
  presenta7on	
  must	
  read	
  this	
  
presenta7on	
  in	
  conjunc7on	
  with	
  the	
  informa7on	
  memorandum	
  of	
  the	
  Partnership,	
  once	
  available,	
  which	
  sets	
  out	
  the	
  detailed	
  terms	
  and	
  risks	
  
involved	
  in	
  inves7ng	
  in	
  a	
  business	
  of	
  this	
  nature	
  prior	
  to	
  any	
  decision	
  to	
  invest	
  being	
  made.	
  	
  
Any	
  projec7ons,	
  forecasts	
  and	
  es7mates	
  contained	
  in	
  this	
  presenta7on	
  are	
  forward-­‐looking	
  statements	
  and	
  are	
  based	
  upon	
  certain	
  
assump7ons	
  considered	
  by	
  the	
  Fund	
  to	
  be	
  reasonable.	
  Projec7ons	
  are	
  necessarily	
  specula7ve	
  in	
  nature	
  and	
  it	
  can	
  be	
  expected	
  that	
  some	
  or	
  all	
  
of	
  the	
  assump7ons	
  underlying	
  the	
  projec7ons	
  will	
  not	
  materialise	
  or	
  will	
  vary	
  significantly	
  from	
  actual	
  results.	
  Accordingly,	
  the	
  projec7ons	
  are	
  
only	
  an	
  es7mate.	
  Actual	
  results	
  may	
  vary	
  from	
  the	
  projec7ons	
  and	
  the	
  varia7ons	
  may	
  be	
  material.	
  Some	
  important	
  factors	
  that	
  could	
  cause	
  
actual	
  results	
  to	
  differ	
  materially	
  from	
  those	
  in	
  any	
  forward-­‐looking	
  statements	
  include	
  changes	
  in	
  interest	
  rates	
  and	
  market,	
  financial	
  or	
  legal	
  
uncertain7es,	
  among	
  others.	
  Consequently,	
  the	
  inclusion	
  of	
  projec7ons	
  herein	
  should	
  not	
  be	
  regarded	
  as	
  a	
  representa7on	
  by	
  the	
  Fund	
  or	
  any	
  
other	
  person	
  or	
  en7ty	
  of	
  the	
  results	
  that	
  will	
  actually	
  be	
  achieved	
  by	
  the	
  Fund.	
  	
  

This	
  presenta7on	
  should	
  not	
  be	
  construed	
  as
