MONTHLY REVIEW OF HEDGE FUNDS & ALTERNATIVE INVESTING FEBRUARY 2013 VOLUME 13 ISSUE 2 Hedge Fund Industry Outlook: What Can You Expect in 2013? SURVEY OF ALLOCATORS INVESTMENT TRENDS AIMA CANADA TAKES TO THE SLOPES THE STATE OF THE INTERNATIONAL HEDGE FUND INDUSTRY

In step with market needs kpmg.ca 80% Agree that the demands of regulatory Have compliance have increased since 2008. 32% had to increase staff headcount Say in order to increase transparency. 88% investors have become more demanding in terms of due diligence since 2008. AIMA and KPMG have teamed up and conducted quantitative and qualitative research with 150 hedge fund managers around the world over the period from October 2011 to February 2012. The results of this survey indicate that the changes brought on by the institutionalization of the alternative fund industry have been underestimated. KPMG is focused on providing informed perspectives to help navigate challenge and take advantage of opportunity from value creation to realization keeping in step with market needs.

Hedge fund allocations may triple in 2013 New allocations to hedge funds may more than triple this year, pushing the global industry s assets to a new high, according to an annual survey by Deutsche Bank AG. (DBK) Hedge fund assets worldwide may increase 11 percent to $2.5 trillion by year-end, according to the survey by the Germany s largest bank. Investors indicated they will add $123 billion of capital to the industry, in addition to investment returns that are expected to boost assets by $169 billion, the Frankfurt- based bank said. Hedge funds are forecast to draw more net deposits as investors, especially institutions, pursue more stable returns with low correlation with other assets such as stocks and bonds, the report showed. The $2.3 trillion global industry gained an average 6 percent last year, taking in $34.4 billion of net inflows, according to Chicago-based data provider Hedge Fund Research Inc. Overall, 2013 looks to be promising for the industry, authors led by Marlin Naidoo, who heads the bank s hedge fund capital group for Americas, wrote in the report. Those hedge funds that are able to post consistent returns year after year are emerging as an attractive option for investors looking for both better risk-adjusted returns and capital preservation. About 62 percent of the investors said they expect their hedge fund holdings to increase this year, compared with 42 percent whose allocations increased in 2012, the survey showed. Carl Berg, managing partner of Catalyst Financial Partners, in collaboration with Susan Weerts, contributor at Seekingalpha, published The Survey of Allocators Investment Trends. The report explores the trends within the hedge fund industry and assesses how compelling hedge funds are across different financial products. Based on feedback from over 50 allocators, the report shows that in 2013, an allocator is ready and willing to invest with an institutional quality hedge fund if it is providing portfolio benefits, decent but not necessarily top - performance, at attractive fee levels and terms. If those criteria are not fulfilled, allocators may look at substitutes, notably Private Equity, ETFs and mutual funds, or Direct investments. Conversely, allocators are thus less and less likely to invest into funds that have unconvincing performance or style drift, small hedge funds lacking an institutional framework, or funds (of any size) that refuse to review fees. Going into 2013, L/S Equity looks like the preferred allocation destination within the hedge fund space, followed by Emerging Markets and Credit & Fixed Income. Carl Berg and Susan Weerts argue that this signals a return to more risky assets, as Emerging Markets have particularly been out of favor the last 12-15 months. As confidence continues to rebound in hedge fund investments, it will be interesting to see whether investments with emerging managers will yield the abnormal returns anticipated by wealth managers considering them as part of their portfolio, or whether their more experienced or established counterparts will continue to take the lead. I want to take this opportunity to thank James Burron, AIMA Canada and Barry Francis, Francis Communications for allowing me the opportunity to meet Andrew Baker, Chief Executive Officer of AIMA during his recent brief visit to Canada.

Hedge Fund Industry Outlook: What can you Expect in 2013? Insights from a recently hosted webinar on the Hedge Fund Industry Outlook for 2013. Speakers, Deborah Prutzman, CEO of the Regulatory Fundamentals Group, and Mary Beth Hamilton, Vice President of Marketing for Eze Castle Integration, recently hosted a webinar on the Hedge Fund Industry Outlook for 2013. Following is a recap of the key topics discussed around operational due diligence, regulations and technology trends. Insights from Deborah Prutzman, Regulatory Fundamentals Group 2012 was a year marked with significant regulatory changes in the world of investment management. So far, we re expecting to see more of the same in 2013. This time, the direction and manner of change will likely be more predictable. Some important themes we expect will permeate throughout the year include: A need for trust A focus on governance Pensions searching for yield Central counterparty risks An arms race between regulators A need to focus on supervisory processes around marketing External Factors Driving Change in 2013 As always, investors are hungry for yield, but they are smarter now thanks to lessons learned in the post-madoff era. This year, the typical investor that invests in alternatives is changing. We expect the importance of institutional investors to increase, while pension funds and endowments start to seek greater allocations. Deborah Prutzman CEO Regulatory Fundamentals Group So, what does this mean? First and foremost, we ll see an increased focus on operational due diligence amongst hedge funds. Additionally, this will raise the stakes for asset managers. If word gets out to the media that a high net worth individual lost money in a questionable investment scenario, the media and the public will not see this favorably. But, if a teachers union or group of nurses loses pension funds, there will likely be far greater backlash. Major Changes to Look For 2013 is likely going to be the year of regulatory enforcement in the alternatives industry. We re seeing that the regulatory bodies that govern this space are especially invigorated right now. The SEC has a new Asset Management Unit in place, and is changing its approach to focus more on conflicts, human motivation and deep knowledge of the industry. We expect much of the same at the CFTC as well. Other US regulators, such as the FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Committee) and state governance groups will start to play a more influential role this year as well. Mary Beth Hamilton Vice President of Marketing Eze Castle Integration 4 www.canadianhedgewatch.com

Another change to look for is the tendency for regulators to focus on the personal liability of firms senior management. The media is applying pressure to the industry to hold these executives accountable for the inner workings of their funds, and popular belief is they should be taking a more supervisory role going forward. In 2012, we began to see increased litigation coming from the investor base and we believe this will continue to grow, especially as the whistleblower phenomenon gains momentum. Last year, the SEC received 3,000 tips from whistleblowers (about 8 per day) a number that is expected to increase in 2013. What Adjustments Should You Make? Develop an enterprise-wide understanding of needs as they pertain to the firm s strategy, governance, operations and technology. Requirements should be innately built into the firm, using clear governance and strong policies. As a best practice, we recommend the following framework for governance: 1. Perform a comprehensive risk assessment. 2. Implement a process for initiating business changes and new activities. 3. Implement a process for monitoring for external environmental changes (such as taxes, laws, best practices, etc.) 4. Ensure your staff has a clear understanding of expectations. This will result in a more mature, agile fund that is in a better position to navigate the tough competitive environment and upcoming regulatory changes. Insights from Mary Beth Hamilton, Eze Castle Integration DR & BCP In the Spotlight Recent events have tested the preparedness of firms across the United States and internationally. From the London Olympics and summer power failures to Hurricane Sandy and the recent flu season concerns, the need for well thought out DR and BCP is pretty clear. It is important to note that each of the scenarios above impact a business in different ways and, highlight the importance of conducting thorough risk analysis and scenario planning when developing a disaster recovery and business continuity plan. It is important to think through the different types of scenarios that can impact your firm. Movement to the Cloud Adoption of cloud services by hedge funds and alternative investment firms continues to increase at a rapid rate. Eze Castle estimates that 40% of our clients are using some sort of cloud service. A 2012 independent cloud market survey found that nearly 8 in 10 hedge funds & investment management firms are using the cloud for at least some of their IT infrastructure or application needs. Navigating the BYOD Trend Today, the acronym BYOD is becoming common place amongst professionals responsible for overseeing a firm s IT functions. After resisting it for years, firms are starting to recognize that by allowing employees to bring their own devices they can experience potential cost savings, productivity increases and make some employees a little bit happier. A survey by Good Technology found that 90% of financial organizations support the use of personal mobile devices at work. It also found that the most popular model for BYOD at financial institutions is for employees to purchase and pay for their own device with the company offering support in the form of access to corporate systems. The next-most popular is a model where the enterprise reimburses users for "eligible expenses" up to a point The prevalence of employees bringing their own devices also has implications on corporate security and policies. Hedge funds need to be thoughtful about their policies and ensure employees are knowledgeable about responsible practices.

Survey of Allocators Investment Trends In the last couple of years broadsides have been fired at the hedge fund industry in the form of industry criticism. Scope of Survey In the last couple of years broadsides have been fired at the hedge fund industry in the form of industry criticism, competitive external and internal pressures, meager returns, and difficult markets. We now wanted to take the pulse of what allocators currently think of the industry. We think this survey is especially interesting, since it not only explores trends within the hedge fund industry, but also investigates how compelling hedge funds are across different financial products. We made a similar survey in May 2010 ( A View from Both Sides: the Latest Trends in Capital Raising ), and we compare some of those answers with this survey to see changes through time. Executive Summary In summary, in 2013 an allocator is ready and willing to invest with an institutional quality hedge fund if it is providing portfolio benefits, decent - but not necessarily top - performance, at attractive fee levels and terms. If these criteria are not fulfilled allocators may look at substitutes, notably Private Equity, ETFs and mutual funds, or Direct investments. Going into 2013, within the hedge fund space, L/S Equity looks like the preferred allocation destination, followed by Emerging Markets and Credit & Fixed Income. This signals a return to more risky assets as Emerging Markets have particularly been out of favor the last 12-15 months. Carl Berg Catalyst Financial Partners 45% 40% Survey Results 1. In 2013, would you consider allocating to hedge funds? 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% YES, now should be a good time YES, but only if we find PERHAPS, but we'll wait the appropriate manager and see how the year develops NO, too much admin, high fees and risks involved NO, we have been disappointed by the industry Susan Weerts Contributor Seekingalpha Allocation appetite appears strong. Most of the allocators indicate that they are looking to make investments to hedge funds. Only a small portion of the investors takes a wait and see approach. However, no investors (of the group surveyed) dismiss hedge funds outright. 8 www.canadianhedgewatch.com

20% 18% 16% 14% 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% 2. Within the hedge fund space, what sectors do you think would be especially interesting in 2013? L/S Equity Emerging Markets Credit & Fixed Income Event Driven Mortgage Macro Commodities, Energy Quant & CTAs Trade Finance 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 5. What is the consideration that discourages you most in investing in hedge funds? Too High fees, Unfriendly Investor Terms Lackluster Performance Difficulty in Selecting the 'Right' Manager There Are Other, More Appealing Investment Opportunities Currently allocators top preference is L/S Equity strategies. This sentiment follows the current opinion that the equity markets look favorable in 2013, on the back of less systemic risks worldwide, rebounding real estate in the US, and a stronger China. More surprisingly, Emerging Markets come in second place. This signals a return to more risky assets as Emerging Markets have been out of favor the last 12-15 months. In our 2010 survey, Event Driven strategies were allocators top choice. Investors rotate their exposures to the flavor of the year. 3. What other investment opportunities would you consider, if unwilling or unable to consider hedge funds? 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Private Equity Funds ETFs and Mutual Funds Direct Investments in Equity / Debt Real Estate Funds 'Public' Hedge Funds Cash Private Equity is the most attractive investment substitute to hedge funds. ETFs and mutual funds are also an attractive substitute to hedge funds. These products bring passive beta exposure, with lower fees and less stringent investor terms than hedge funds. Direct Investments are becoming a common substitute. The fact that allocators are becoming big investors of Directs will have implications for hedge funds, since it might circumvent their intermediary function. 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 4. What is the most important criterion for a hedge fund that you would consider investing in? Portfolio Characteristics Meaningful Performance Appropriate AUM Size Star Management Team Long Track-record Portfolio Characteristics (non-correlation, diversification, etc) is the top reason to allocate to hedge funds. Investors seem more interested in how a product fits in their portfolio and core investment objective than the strategy itself. The performance of hedge funds is the second top reason. Low Fees and Attractive Terms In 2010, high absolute fund performance was the top reason for investors to allocate to hedge funds. High fees and unfriendly investor terms keep allocators at bay. After some years of a lot of scrutiny and media publicity, high fees are the top reason for allocators to back away from allocating to hedge funds. About 15% of respondents thought there are other, more appealing, investment opportunities than hedge funds. In our 2010 survey, identifying the Right manager was allocators top discouraging factor. Too high fees trailed far down the list of concerns in 2010. What type of allocators participated in the survey? Over 1,000 allocators were sent the survey, of which 52 answered it between January 10-16th, 2013. The largest groups of responders were fund-offunds and family offices. Eight types of allocators responded. There were no analysis made on the basis of allocator type; the survey responders were anonymous and the answers aggregated. Other Inst. Investor 10% Wealth Manager 10% Endowment 7% HNW Individual 6% Investor Consultant 10% Pension Fund 3% Fund-of-funds 27% Single/ multifamily office 27% Conclusion The laundry list for a hedge fund to be successful is not actually that long: run a quality institutional investment firm, make sure it provides benefits in allocators portfolio analysis, limit draw downs while producing decent performance, and all this at favorable terms and fees. At different stages of a fund s growth, however, at least one of these parameters tend to fall short. Smaller funds often struggle in providing the necessary institutional frame work, while larger funds refuse to negotiate fees, and most funds are susceptible to unconvincing performance or style drift. In the past year, we think, the development has been in the direction for investors and managers to understand what works for each party, which bodes for better prospects for industry participants alike.

The State of the International Hedge Fund Industry Canadian HedgeWatch took the opportunity to discuss the state of the international hedge fund industry with Andrew Baker, Chief Executive Officer of the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA), during his recent visit to Canada. Mr. Baker was appointed AIMA CEO in 2009. Based in the organization s London headquarters, Mr. Baker brings to his position an extensive background of experience CHW Can you discuss the size, objectives and international scope of the international AIMA organization? Andrew Baker Founded in 1990, the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) is the global representative of the hedge fund industry. We represent all practitioners in the alternative investment management industry including hedge fund managers, fund of hedge funds managers, prime brokers, legal and accounting firms, investors, fund administrators and independent fund directors. Our membership is corporate and comprises over 1,300 firms (with over 6,000 individual contacts) in more than 50 countries who all benefit from our active influence in policy development, our leadership in industry initiatives and our outstanding reputation with regulators. We represent the global hedge fund industry at national and international levels in ongoing discussions about the future regulatory framework for the industry. Our focus on education, regulation, policy development and sound practices has resulted in a substantial body of work used around the world by members, institutional investors, policymakers and supervisors. We are committed to developing industry skills and education standards, and we are a co-founder of the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst designation (CAIA) the industry s first and only specialised educational standard for alternative investment specialists. CHW Having served in the CEO role for four years now, can you outline your original goals for the organization and give us your thoughts on the progress made to date against those goals? AB The global financial crisis convinced me that AIMA needed to transform the work it does on behalf of the industry around the world. It was clear that there would be a wave of new laws and regulations introduced internationally, some designed to regulate hedge fund managers, others to regulate the markets our manager members operate in, others the taxes that are applied to them. The world has changed, and so has AIMA. We have built new structures and brought in new people to address these challenges. We are very much more active now than ever before in advocacy on behalf of the industry, whether with the policymakers or regulators or other important audiences like the press or investors. We have also used the expertise of our members in unprecedented numbers through their contributions to our many working groups, for which we are enormously grateful. All this work has delivered significant real results for the industry. Our diligent, patient and sustained engagement on the major pieces of regulation internationally and our willingness to engage constructively with the authorities in order to explain the industry s concerns, has helped to influence key outcomes within the whole process. Much of the regulation impacting the industry globally is no longer as damaging as it was when first proposed. Outcomes such as these are a testimony to the work of our staff, members and volunteers and the relationships they have built up. in international finance and investments. 10 www.canadianhedgewatch.com

CHW AIMA Canada, the Canada national group of the international AIMA organization, will celebrate the tenth anniversary of its founding this spring. How would you assess the development of AIMA Canada to date? AB AIMA Canada s development has been very impressive. It has grown rapidly since its founding in 2003 and currently has approximately 100 corporate members across the country. AIMA Canada has been very active on many fronts, including developing and promoting sound practices, enhancing industry transparency and education, and liaising with the wider financial community, institutional investors, the media, regulators, governments and other policymakers. CHW Can you comment on the nature and relative growth of the hedge fund industry in Canada? AB We have seen significant growth in both the number of funds and variety of strategies being traded within Canada over the past few years. There has also been a good deal of growth in AUM during this period. Canadian fund managers currently manage over $30 billion, up from about $12 billion just five years ago. CHW Over the past two years, AIMA Canada has established regional committees in Quebec, Alberta and B.C. Is this regional approach a common practice with other AIMA national groups? AB Given Canada s geography, its distinct regional markets and its provincial regulation, it made sense to take this regional approach. This set up is unique in the international AIMA organization. CHW Can you tell us how AIMA has worked with regulators in the EU to provide input and represent member views on the development of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) which governs access to EU investors by non-eu fund managers? AB AIMA, as the global hedge fund association, has engaged intensively and constructively with European and international policymakers on the Directive since the original draft was published by the European Commission in 2009. At the time of the publication of that original draft, we stressed that we supported much of the Directive, particularly those provisions relating to transparency and involving the registration of managers and their reporting of systemic data to supervisors in the interests of financial stability assessment in line with the G20 consensus. However we also expressed grave reservations about some of its content. There were many provisions that would have negatively impacted both the alternative asset management industry globally and also European investors. Since then there has been considerable progress and a significant amount of ground has been covered. The final text of the Directive that has now been agreed by the European Commission is a considerable improvement not only for our members globally but in terms of its impact on investors. Our focus has now shifted to the implementation of the Directive. As you know, the AIFMD is a complicated piece of legislation. It is being implemented in EU Member States in a variety of different ways, while non-eu or third country jurisdictions are also taking differing approaches to it. This leaves hedge fund firms across the world facing a lot of complex choices. Even now, the full legal and regulatory framework for the AIFMD has not been fully finalized. But the industry needs to start its implementation efforts now - since the sooner one starts, the less costly it will be in the end. CHW AIMA recently launched an on-line self-diagnostic tool and detailed guide to implementation for firms needing to comply with the EU Directive (AIFMD). Can you comment on the importance of this tool to international managers and how it works? AB We think it will be a very important tool for international managers as they begin or continue to market their funds to investors in EU countries. The diagnostic tool and implementation guide, which was jointly produced by AIMA and the professional services firm PwC, will assist AIMA member firms in preparing for, and tracking, their compliance readiness. The guide outlines the various strategic and business options both EU and non-eu managers should consider when planning for compliance with the directive. It is supplemented by an online selfdiagnostic tool that will assist managers as they approach the July 2013 implementation deadline. We hope that these tools will enable hedge fund firms to get a better sense of the steps that they will need to take in order to respond to and comply with the provisions of the AIFMD. CHW Looking ahead, what do you see as the biggest issue facing the international hedge fund industry? AB The years ahead will present another set of challenges for the industry. Clearly, performance has always been, and will continue to be, key. The industry will continue to evolve, mature and become more institutionalised. There will always be a tremendous need for the kind of sound-practice guides and due diligence questionnaires for which AIMA is rightly lauded. But for AIMA, advocacy continues to be our priority. 2013 is likely to be even busier than 2012 in terms of workload. We are at the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end, of the regulatory changes that will impact the industry. AIFMD, FATCA, shadow banking and many other reforms will require extensive engagement with policymakers and supervisors. AIMA will also be moving increasingly from seeking to achieve better outcomes for the industry during the drafting stage of regulation to helping our members with the necessary implementation to comply with the final text of that regulation. Because we have been working on these proposals since they were first put forward, we understand the intent and detail of these new regulations, and we will be producing new tools and services to help our members comply with and interpret them. Andrew Baker is the Chief Executive Officer of AIMA. Prior to joining AIMA he spent six years at Schroders in London where he was COO - Alternative Investments. Previously, Andrew held senior business management positions at Gartmore and UBS Asset Management after a fifteen year spell of managing institutional assets at HD International and N. M. Rothschild. In the early 1980s he spent two years on secondment at the Bank Of Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby. Andrew has a degree in Mathematics from Imperial College, London and is married with three children. Terry of Canadian Hedge Watch with Andrew Baker Volume 13 Issue 2 - February 2013 11

BUSINESS INSIDER Money Game Chart of the Day Hedge Funds Have Lost Their Love For Gold After taking a cursory look at the recent 13-Fs filed by hedge funds, it became apparent that hedge funds were scaling back their exposures to gold. George Soros was among the big names that unloaded his position. According to Goldman Sachs new Hedge Fund Trend Monitor report, hedge funds in aggregate scaled back big time. Despite low turnover, hedge funds notably reduced holdings of underperforming long-time favorites Apple and gold while raising allocations to rallying Financials. For the first time in three years AAPL was not the top stock in our VIP list, instead ranking as the third most frequent top-10 holding. The stock fell 20% in 4Q and funds reduced positions by over 30%. Holdings in GLD were also lower than they have been in at least four years, equaling just 0.6% of long positions as the ETF fell 6% in price. Volume 13 Issue 2 - February 2013 13
