HOW TO GET 10X RETURNHOW TO GET 10X RETURN

High liquidity environment chasing low returns provides two choices for 10x return by hedge fund operator:

Typical hedge fund formula: High liquidity + 10x leverage = Hope for 2x return with 5x AUM increase (the steady low volatility return profile grows investor confidence 10x)

Passport formula: Lower liquidity + time = 10x price change through compounding (to hell with the low volume dictum – the real world is a compelling investment)

Typical Hedge Fund Models make the world price differently than it really is

Definition:

A hindrance to progress or production

GREAT DEMAND #1GREAT DEMAND #1

Consumers in India and China – “The Real Inevitables”

Want western lifestyles and are becoming domestic spenders

Why now?- Media & Internet- Wages have risen from explosion in outsourcing

Bottleneck- restriction on foreign investment in key domestic sectors- few organized local companies to handle this increasing demand

What to invest in- Financial services- Media, Internet- Retail- Property

Think Buffett in US ’56 - present.. What did he invest in?

Page 29: PASSPORT CAPITAL, LLC 1 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE

PASSPORT CAPITAL, LLC29

GREAT DEMAND #2GREAT DEMAND #2Commodities – “How Capital Markets Failed”

Underinvestment for 10+ years Declining real returns from 1981 to 2001 in disinflationary world ’97 Asia crisis produced long-term demand despair and capital cut-off Sector was career killers for investment managers who lost industry understanding

Why now? Hedge against inflation Margin expansion China & India need them

Bottleneck Previous underinvestment not meeting compounding current demand Stocks are illiquid Stocks generally listed in non-US markets

What to invest in Small cap names Large cap names with margin expansion Any current commodity shortage

Think inelasticity, margin expansion & long-term supply/demand imbalances

Page 30: PASSPORT CAPITAL, LLC 1 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE

PASSPORT CAPITAL, LLC30

GREAT DEMAND #3GREAT DEMAND #3Unwinding of excess liquidity

Reversal coming for post-emerging market crisis Asian nation game plan that propped up US consumption & currency which Wall Street thrived on

Why now? World now over owns US $, US treasuries, US agencies Average US consumer depends on asset prices, saves nothing Sub-prime mortgage breakdown iceberg of poor capital allocation

Bottleneck Who else is there left to buy when flows reverse Fed likely to resort to monetization causing further US$ weakness Deepest liquidity markets will require price dislocation to clear

What to invest in Own CDS protection sold by CDOs on sub-prime mezzanine debt Short ABX Index NOT 10x leveraged “low vol” managers

Think manufactured housing bonds – 1998-2000 & ’97 EM crisis occurring at once

Great Demand #4Great Demand #4Efficient Reinvestment of Wealth Created Primarily over last 25 years creates inherent

industry stability.

The top 500 asset managers in the world manage USD $63.7T (12/31/06). Hedge funds only manage approximately USD $2.5T (est. 9/07 E&Y).

Passport Capital currently covers 58 publicly traded asset managers. During the next five years, we expect the publicly traded universe to continue to expand and we expect many publicly traded asset management companies to at least triple their share prices and in some cases increase much more.

The asset managers are miss priced as an asset class (superior performing hedge funds in particular) because the market does not properly value the extraordinary leverage of the asset manager business model, the likely continued compounding of positive investment returns from superior managers. Moreover, the aggregate savings in the emerging markets are extremely large, fast growing, underappreciated, and not yet allocated in a meaningful way to the asset management industry.

Asset managers are great businesses that generate a lot of free cash. Earnings growth can be exponential as they are generated from both positive inflows and investment performance on a relatively fixed share count with limited capital expenditures.

Over the next few years, portfolio managers will probably overweight the asset manager group because there is so much less credit risk relative to other financials and arguably superior returns on investment capital at a reasonable multiple.

Sovereign Wealth Funds will become an even more significant participant in the global financial markets and become strategic purchasers of resources, professional organizations and financial infrastructure (i.e., exchanges, asset managers, investment banks, etc).

Investment managers that consistently outperform the market will be viewed as a scarce commodity by a broader group of well funded organizations.
