Momentum Research

| 4

• The momentum effect in asset class performance has been well researched and documented
• ver many years
• Momentum has worked both on a relative and absolute basis
• Studies go as far back as the turn of the 20th century where absolute momentum has been

shown to be relevant across multiple asset classes

• The following chart (1974 to 2015) shows a back test of a Global Equities Momentum (GEM)

model (17.73% p.a. )Vs returns on the S&P500 (12.33% p.a.), GEM + 25% Bonds (15.35% p.a.) and S&P500 plus 40% bonds (10.76% p.a.)

• Research is available on request

• The AAA process is a systematic algorithmic process which rotates investment holdings into a

selection of global assets based on momentum.

• The process of continuous portfolio re-balancing allows the Fund to adapt to changing

markets and risk conditions.

• Analysis of the strategy has shown significant outperformance against the S&P500

benchmark since 2003 with less volatility and lower equity drawdowns.

• Although past performance may not be an indicator of future performance, the AAA process

has tended to outperform in most market conditions and is not overly sensitive to the settings used to determine the portfolio.
