The Investment Strategy |
The Company’s investment strategy is to harness the performance of two leading international investment programs, one in London, the other in Chicago.  Note: This illustration is not designed to predict future growth of the original investment or any increase in the NAB Guarantee+. It is designed to show only the key features of the Company’s investment strategy, which are an investment in the Security Deposit to provide for the NAB Guarantee+ and the investment exposure to the AHL Diversified Program and the Glenwood Multi-Strategy Program. An explanation of how the Company invests subscription funds using the two investment programs and the Leverage Facility is outlined in the Prospectus. Investments using leverage are subject to a number of risks as outlined in the Prospectus. The core investment is made using the AHL Diversified Program managed by Man Investments Limited in London. This will be supplemented by an additional investment using the Glenwood Multi-Strategy Portfolio. The combination of the two complementary investments is also designed to increase opportunities for profit and spread risk over a wide range of international markets and investment strategies within the total investment portfolio. |

Research
Standard & Poor's Fund Services announced on February 2 that it has assigned the Series 11 of Man Investments Australia's OM-IP 220 product, a "RECOMMENDED" rating.
Series 11 is the latest in the successful OM-IP 220 line of products brought by Man Investments Australia. The structure and underlying investment funds have remained the same in this series, giving investors comfort and confidence in the product. "By blending a managed futures fund with a fund of hedge funds, OM-IP 220 provides a balanced portfolio with increased reward and reduced volatility," Standard & Poor's fund analyst, Simon Scott said. "This low correlation to equity and bond markets allows the product to be used as a diversifier with growth potential. The low correlation effect should remain even if the product is placed within a hedge fund or alternative investment allocation."
