B. Description of Advisory Services.
Our only business is to provide discretionary investment management services and related
administrative services to our Funds. In managing our Funds, we seek to generate attractive
absolute returns with relatively low volatility and relatively low correlation to most major market
indices. Except as limited by the applicable Fund Documents and applicable laws and regulations,
we may invest through both long and short positions in an unlimited range of securities, derivatives
and other financial instruments throughout the world, including, without limitation, equity and
equity-related securities, bonds and other fixed income securities, loans and loan participations,
mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, currencies, commodities, futures, forward
contracts, warrants, options, swaps and other derivative
instruments (collectively, Financial
Instruments). Except as limited by the applicable Fund Documents and applicable laws and
regulations, we are not subject to any specific restrictions on asset type, industry, geographic
market, concentration, leverage, exposure to market risk or other portfolio characteristics.
Our largest Funds are global, multi-strategy funds (Multi-Strategy Funds) that have combined
substantially all their assets into a single master pool (the Multi-Strategy Master Fund). We also
manage a group of merger arbitrage funds (Merger Strategies Funds), which have combined
substantially all their assets into a single master pool (the Merger Strategies Master Fund), a
convertible arbitrage fund (the Convertible Arbitrage Fund), and a credit fund (the Credit Fund),
into which investors contribute capital when called pursuant to capital commitments. HBK Europe
Management LLP, a relying adviser of HBK Investments L.P., has been appointed as investment
manager of a Luxembourg-domiciled Undertaking for Collective Investments in Transferable
Securities (referred to as the UCITS Fund).
