its clients and affiliates. While much of this Brochure applies to all such clients and affiliates, certain

2. Investment Strategies and Types of Investments.
The Funds pursue multiple investment strategies, including, but not limited to: long/short equities,
global macro, investing in commodity and commodity-related industries, high-yield and distressed credit,
event-driven/special situations investing, relative value investing and private investments.
The PointArgentum Funds pursue multiple investment strategies, including, but not limited to:

The SPVs hold participations in certain assets of the Funds that have limited liquidity or that
PointState otherwise determined should be held in the SPVs (the “Retained Assets”), representing the pro
rata share of the Retained Assets attributable to all investors that withdrew or redeemed, as applicable, from
the Funds as of December 31, 2019 and subsequent applicable withdrawal or redemption dates, as
applicable (the “Withdrawing Investors”). The Retained Assets will be liquidated over time and interests
or shares, as applicable, in the SPVs will entitle each Withdrawing Investor to its proportionate share of the
net proceeds received upon the liquidation of the Retained Assets.
The PointSeason Funds, the PointSeason II Funds and the PointSeason III Funds invest in a
particular company that operates in the secondary ticketing market.
