B. Types of Advisory Services
DLD provides discretionary investment advisory (and sub-advisory) services to various pooled investment
vehicles, including privately offered funds sponsored by DLD (the “Private Funds”); Undertakings for
Collective Investments in Transferable Securities (“UCITS”) and open-end registered investment
companies (“RICs”) operating as mutual funds to whom DLD serves as a sub-adviser (together with UCITS
defined hereafter as “Registered Funds”), and other certain private funds operated by unaffiliated
advisers to whom DLD serves as a sub-adviser (“Sub-Advised Funds” and together with the Private Funds
and Registered Funds, “Clients”).
Various entities that are affiliated with DLD serve as general partners to certain of the Private Funds (each
and collectively, “General Partner”).
The UCITS are registered in Luxembourg with Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier and the
RICs are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The UCITS funds are available to
non-U.S. clients only.
The Private Funds and Sub-Advised Funds offer interests (“Interests”) to certain qualified investors (such
investors or prospective investors unless the context requires otherwise, are referred to herein as
“Investors”).
The Registered Funds provide a defined allocation (“Sub-Sleeve”) of their funds and have appointed DLD
as the discretionary manager. DLD manages the Registered Funds’ Sub-Sleeves in accordance with the
Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Registered Funds as approved by the applicable Registered
Fund’s Board of Trustees and subject to relevant rules governing UCITS and RICs. For additional
information regarding the Registered Fund’s fees, investment objectives, investment strategies and
associated risks please
refer to Registered Funds’ Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information.
DLD provides investment advisory (and sub-advisory) services to its Clients on a discretionary basis and is
responsible for all day-to day investment and trading decisions. DLD offers its investment advisory services
to its Clients through a number of different investment objectives and strategies which are executed
principally in the global equity and credit securities markets. Please see Item 8 below for a description of
the investment strategies employed by DLD and certain material risks inherent in such strategies.
The Private Funds include the DLD Master Fund and the DLD Convertible Arbitrage Master Fund. The
Private Funds are organized as part of master-feeder structures and consist of onshore funds and offshore
funds (collectively, “Feeder Funds”) which invest substantially all their assets in their respective Master
Fund. Investors make investments in the Feeder Funds. Feeder Fund portfolio holdings are assets of their
respective Master Fund.
