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.

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

A LT E R N AT I V E E N E R G Y / C L E A N T E C H

Saudi Arabia, Oman, Dubai and Kuwait all
have programs to promote and develop solar
and wind power farms, solar powered
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.

WATER STRESS MAP– GLOBAL HOTSPOTS
World Bank reports global demand
for water is doubling every 21 years

soars, nations develop and
agriculture expands

Agriculture accounts for more than
2/3 of global water use (up to 90%
in developing countries). Inefficient
practices can waste as much as 60%
of this withdrawn water

Freshwater consumption has
doubled since World War II and is
expected to increase another 25%
