The Offering Documents contain more detailed information about the Funds, including a

limited to a review of relevant Offering Documents and the additional details about SGAM’s
investment strategies, methods of analysis and related risks (as discussed in Item 8 of this Brochure
and the Funds’ Offering Documents) in considering whether SGAM’s advisory services, or an
investment in one of the Funds, is appropriate to the Investor’s own circumstances in light of all
relevant factors including, but not limited to, the Investor’s own investment objectives, liquidity
requirements, tax situation and risk tolerance before making an investment decision.
