The Analytic Global Long/Short Equity Fund, L.P. (“Predecessor Account”) was a limited partnership that commenced operations on 01/06/14 and reorganized into the Fund on 12/12/14. The Fund’s objectives, policies, guidelines and restrictions are, in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Predecessor Account. Performance shown prior to 12/12/14 is that of the Predecessor Account and has not been adjusted to reflect the expenses of the Fund’s Class I shares, which are lower than the expenses of the Predecessor Account. If the Class I expenses were reflected, the Predecessor Account returns would be higher than those shown. However, the Predecessor Account was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore was not subject to certain restrictions on regulated investment companies. If the Predecessor Account had been registered its performance may have been lower.
