The Greycourt Partners Fund, LPFor the month ending March 31, 2013

Fund OverviewThe Greycourt Partners Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve equity-like returns with significantly lower than equity pricevolatility. The Fund incorporates Greycourt’s ideas on portfolio construction, manager selection and tactical weightings, andincludes a diversified combination of liquid and semi-liquid asset classes such as active and passive equity, opportunisticfixed income, hedge funds, commodities, and other real asset funds.

Portfolio CommentaryThe Greycourt Partners Fund, LP gained 1.6% in March. Global equities added 1.9% over the same period but returns byregion were mixed. Domestic large cap equities gained 3.8%, developed international equities were up 0.9% while emergingmarket equities fell by 1 7% In aggregate the Fund’s long only equity managers posted results that were in line with theirmarket equities fell by 1.7%. In aggregate, the Fund’s long-only equity managers posted results that were in-line with theirrespective benchmarks. Our emerging market-oriented macro hedge strategy has continued to post impressive results thisyear (up 5.0% this month and nearly 15% year-to-date). While we don’t expect performance like this to persist, it isencouraging to see outsized returns from one of our satellite strategies, particularly as long-only investments in emergingmarkets have struggled this year. The Fund’s core, lower-volatility strategies combined to slightly underperform the hedgefund benchmark this month but are in-line with the benchmark for the year. Our tactical overweight to US large cap aidedperformance as did our underweight to non-US developed stocks. On the other hand, our allocations to defensive sectors likehedge and high yield failed to keep up with torrid equity returns.
