Executive Summary
5
Rising event risk probability ndash during the second quarter of 2012 various macroeconomic factors have increased the downside risks to global growth and investment returns in the near term
Heightened volatility ndash market volatility has spiked given the degree ofuncertainty and the inadequacy of policy response
Strategic risk management response ndash in Q1 and April we implemented several tactical portfolio shifts in an attempt to mitigate market volatility
Opportunity in crisis ndash negative headlines and pervasive gloomy sentiment haveenabled us to acquire distressed assets and improve portfolio returns and income

Conclusion

We expect near term volatility primarily from political catalysts
Our focus is on managing risk rather than on outperforming an index
We have implemented several changes to mitigate potential drawdowns
Our long term outlook remains optimistic and we are finding investment opportunities in the crisis
