    FMGs oldest Fund (1991), the FMG Global Hedge Fund has historically been a Fund of Fund consisting of

    primarily equity and macro long/short hedge fund managers. The focus now has shifted to become more

    diversified and transparent by using a systematic discipline in more global asset classes.

    The crash of 2008, the worst since the great depression in the 1930s, have resulted in clients requiring better

    transparency, liquidity and diversification. Hedge funds have in general underperformed on the way up and not

    protected successfully on the way down.

    As of May 1 2010 FMG has replaced all hedge funds with a systematic approach that shifts assets between the

    following various global asset classes:

    Equities Fixed Income

    Commodities

    Target return of the new Global Hedge Fund is 10%+ per annum, pro-forma returns from 2001 has been 15%

    per annum.

    Overview

    Several studies show that 70%-90% of the difference in returns between similar portfolios are derived from

    asset allocation, not the selection of individual securities. It is therefore more important to decide whether to

    own equities at all, than to choose between Microsoft and Apple.

    FMG Global Hedge Fund focuses exclusively on asset allocation and invests globally in equities, fixed income,

    cash, commodities, real estate and alternative investments/hedge funds. The portfolio is highly diversified both

    between and within the asset classes and regions. Asset weights are systematically shifted over time according

    to strict rules in order to find the optimal portfolio for the current market climate.

    Benefits of the systematic strategy:

    A good diversification to FMGs Emerging Markets Funds.

    Focuses on asset allocation, the main return driver in a global portfolio.

    A systematic investment process free from subjective forecasts of the financial markets.

    A better risk adjusted return with lower risk for extreme outcomes (-15.1% in 2008).

    A dynamic portfolio which has historically adopted to the current market climate.
