SUMMARY The information set out below should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of this Prospectus (the “Prospectus”), the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”) and the documents and agreements referred to herein. Company Rye Select Broad Market Portfolio Limited (the “Company”) is an

open-ended investment company organised as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands on 23 August, 2001.

Offering of Shares The Company is offering its Class A, B, and Class C Shares (the

“Class A Shares,” the “Class B Shares,” and the “Class C Shares” are collectively referred to as the “Shares”) pursuant to this Prospectus. Furthermore, the Company’s Class D Shares are offered pursuant to a separate offering supplement to the Prospectus (the “Supplement”). The Class A, B, and C Shares are U.S. Dollar denominated shares. The Class A Shares have been issued only to those investors who are shareholders of record as of December 31, 2002 (the “Existing Shareholders”). Any investors, who are not Existing Shareholders, will be issued Class B or Class C Shares. Class C Shares are the same in all material respects as the Class B Shares, except that Class C Shares are charged an Investor Servicing Fee (as defined herein). The Company’s Shares are currently being offered based on the Net Asset Value per Share as of the preceding Valuation Date - as of April 30, 2007 the Net Asset Value of the Company was $872,191,564.

In addition to the Shares, the Company may authorize and issue such further additional classes of shares. Such additional classes may be subject to terms and conditions different from the terms and conditions applicable to the Shares discussed herein (such as, among other things, different fee structures (including no fee assessments) and varying redemption rights. See “SHARES OF THE COMPANY - The Company's Share Capital” and “DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUATION.”

Investment Objective and Strategy The Company’s objective is to seek to (i) achieve long term capital

appreciation and (ii) consistently generate positive returns irrespective of stock market volatility or direction, while focusing on preservation of capital. The Company attempts to accomplish this investment objective by investing the majority of the assets with one Manager who employs a “split strike conversion” strategy. The remainder of the assets of the Company are invested with a diverse group of non-U.S. investment funds, separate accounts, or similar vehicles (the “Funds”) whose Managers (as defined herein) employ a variety of investment strategies that have a low correlation to the performance of traditional asset classes. Currently, the majority of the assets are allocated to one Manager

(viii)

(as defined herein). The Investment Manager (as defined herein) will also select strategies whose performance historically has been negatively correlated to equity/debt and other markets in attempt to generate a consistent return pattern with minimum deviation. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in achieving its investment objective. See “INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGIES.”

Minimum Investment The minimum initial investment in the Company is

U.S.$500,000.00 for the Class A, B, and C Shares. The minimum additional investment in the Company is U.S.$100,000.00 for the Class A, B, and C Shares. The foregoing initial investments are subject to the discretion of the Board to reduce such amounts, provided that the Board will not reduce the minimum subscription to below $50,000 or such other amount specified under Cayman Islands law from time to time.

Investment Manager The Company has retained Tremont (Bermuda) Limited, a

corporation organised under the laws of Bermuda as an exempted company, to serve as its investment manager (the “Investment Manager”). The Investment Manager is responsible for allocating the Company's assets among one or more Funds, monitoring their performance and adherence to their stated objectives, managing the Company’s investments and its day-to-day operations (other than trading and investment decisions), subject to the overall control and supervision of the Board. The Investment Manager performs its services for the Company pursuant to the terms of a management agreement, amended December 31, 2002 (the “Management Agreement”). However, the Investment Manager has delegated substantially all of its duties in this regard to its affiliate, Tremont Partners, Inc., which serves as the sub-advisor to the Company. See “Sub-Advisor.”

Sub-Advisor The Investment Manager had retained its affiliate, Tremont

Partners, Inc., to serve as a sub-advisor to the Company (the “Sub-Advisor”) at no additional cost to the Company and has delegated substantially all of its duties in respect of the Company to the Sub-Advisor. As such, the Sub-Advisor is responsible for selecting the Company’s Managers, negotiating fee arrangements with the Managers, allocating assets among Managers and monitoring the Funds’ investments.

The Sub-Advisor is registered as an investment adviser pursuant to

the Advisers Act. The Investment Manager pays the Sub-Advisor a fee from its own assets pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement.

(ix)

Multi-Manager Investment Approach The overall success of the Company depends on the ability of (i)

the Investment Manager to select appropriate Funds and to allocate the Company's assets, and (ii) each Fund to perform successfully. The past performance of the Investment Manager and/or any of the Funds or any of their respective managers (collectively, the “Managers”) is not necessarily indicative of the future profitability of any strategies employed by them. No assurance can be given that the strategy or strategies utilized by a given Manager of a Fund will be successful under all or any market conditions. There can be no guarantee of future performance and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its investment objective or be profitable.

Board of Directors The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Directors” or the

“Board”) consists of three (3) Directors. The Board has complete authority over the operations and management of the Company. The Board, however, has delegated the day-to-day management of the Company to the Investment Manager. See “MANAGEMENT - The Board of Directors.”

Subscriptions Shares may be purchased on the first day of each month and any

other day approved by the Board (each a “Subscription Date”) valued at a price per Share equal to the Net Asset Value of the relevant per Share Class as of the close of business on the last Business Day of the preceding calendar month (each a “Valuation Date”). The term “Business Day” refers to any day when banks in the United States (“U.S.”) and Bermuda are open for business other than a Saturday or a Sunday. Completed subscription materials and cleared funds must be received by the Administrator (as defined herein) prior to the Subscription Date on which prospective investors wish to subscribe for Shares. See “ELIGIBLE INVESTORS” and “SUBSCRIPTIONS.”

Redemptions A holder of Shares (each a “Shareholder”) may request a

redemption of Shares (see attached form “Redemption Request”), on thirty-six (36) days' prior written notice to the Administrator, as of the last Business Day of each month, or on another Valuation Date (each a “Redemption Date”) at the Board's discretion, at a redemption price per Share equal to the Net Asset Value of the relevant per Share Class on the corresponding Valuation Date. Except with the consent of the Board of Directors, redemption requests are irrevocable. If a redemption would cause the value of the Shares held by a Shareholder to fall below U.S.$100,000.00, or such other minimum amount or amounts as determined by the Board, then the Board has the right to require the compulsory redemption of all Shares held by such Shareholder.

Settlement of redemptions will generally take place within thirty

(30) days after the Redemption Date, although the Company reserves the right to retain up to ten percent (10%) of the settlement proceeds until after the annual audit for the year in

(x)

which the redemption occurs is completed in order to confirm the accuracy of the amount or to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. The Board shall have the right to require the compulsory redemption of all or portions of the Shares held by a Shareholder upon ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice for the reasons set out herein in the section entitled “REDEMPTIONS,” at the price per Share equal to the then prevailing Net Asset Value per relevant Share Class. In circumstances where the Company is unable to liquidate securities positions in an orderly manner in order to fund redemptions or where the value of the assets and liabilities of the Company cannot reasonably be determined, the Company may extend such thirty (30) day period to effect settlements of redemptions or it may even suspend redemptions. The Board may in its discretion settle redemptions in kind for all redemptions submitted in respect of a given Redemption Date. See “REDEMPTIONS.”

Eligible Investors The Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares may be purchased only by

“Eligible Investors” as described in this Prospectus. Persons interested in purchasing Shares should inform themselves as to the legal requirements within their own countries for the purchase of Shares and any foreign exchange restrictions which they may encounter. In the case of such U.S. investors, Shares may only be sold to investors who (i) are accredited investors under Rule 501 of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and (ii) meet any other eligibility standards as legal counsel to the Company advises.

The Board reserves the right to reject subscriptions for Shares in its

absolute discretion for any reason or for no reason. See “ELIGIBLE INVESTORS.”

Net Asset Value The Net Asset Value of the Company is equal to the Company's

assets, calculated at fair value, less its liabilities and any accrued but unpaid expenses (including the Management Fee (as defined herein)). The Net Asset Value per Share of a particular class is determined by dividing such class’ Net Asset Value by the number of Shares of that class then outstanding. The Net Asset Value will be calculated on a monthly basis as of each Valuation Date or on such other date when such computation is necessary or appropriate. See “DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUATION.” The Company’s Net Asset Value will be based on asset valuations supplied by the administrator of each Fund. As such, a portion of the Company’s Net Asset Value may at any given time include estimated valuations. See “DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUATION.” Such valuations will not be subject to independent review or investigation by the Company, and the Investment Manager and Administrator are entitled to rely on such valuations without independent verification. See “RISK FACTORS.”

(xi)

Administrator The Company has appointed Tremont Partners, Inc., located in New York (the “Administrator”), as administrator of the Company under an Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”). The Administrator performs various administrative services for the Company, including Share issue and redemption services, calculation of the Net Asset Value of each respective Class of Shares on a monthly basis, or at any other point in time when a valuation is deemed necessary and appropriate, and act as registrar and transfer agent. See “MANAGEMENT - The Administrator.” However, the Administrator with effect from July 1, 2007 has delegated substantially all of its duties in this regard to the Company’s Bank, The Bank of New York, who will provide the delegated duties through its Alternative Investment Services division, (“BNY-AIS”) which will serve as the sub-administrator to the Company. See “Sub-Administrator” below.

Sub-Administrator The Company has retained BNY-AIS to serve as a sub-

administrator to the Administrator (the “Sub-Administrator”) and substantially all of its duties in respect of the Company have been delegated to the Sub-Administrator. As such, the Sub-Administrator is responsible for assisting the Administrator with the day-to-day maintenance of the Company’s investor records, attending to subscription, redemption and share transfer requests and calculation of the Company’s Net Asset Value.

The Sub-Administrator, which is a part of a global financial services

group, specializes in providing administration and related services to alternative investment entities including hedge funds.

Dividends The Company does not currently expect to pay dividends or other

distributions to Shareholders. Fees and Expenses Management Fee. The Company pays the Investment Manager a

monthly management fee calculated at an annual rate (the “Management Fee”). The Management Fee for Class A Shares is calculated at an annual rate of one and a half percent (1.50%) of the month-end Class A Net Asset Value of the Company, and the Management Fee for Class B and Class C Shares is calculated at an annual rate of one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of the month end Class B and Class C Net Asset Value of the Company, respectively. The Management Fee is paid to the Investment Manager by the Company on or about the 15th Business Day of the subsequent month.

Investor Servicing Fee. The Investment Manager on behalf of the

Company may enter into one or more agreements with one or more unaffiliated third party placement agents (each a “Placement Agent”) to place investors in the Class C Shares of the Company. Any such Placement Agents who place investors in the Company will be entitled to receive a fee from Class C Shareholders in an amount up to 1.00% of the Net Asset Value of the Class C Shares per annum (the “Investor Servicing Fee”). The Investor Servicing

(xii)

Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears. The Investor Servicing Fee will be prorated based upon a Class C Shareholder’s actual period of ownership of its Class C Shares. The Investor Servicing Fee is accrued monthly and is payable quarterly, in arrears, within a reasonable time thereafter.

Administrative Fee. The Administrator receives a monthly

administration fee calculated at the annual rate of one-fifth of one percent (0.20%) of the Company's average net assets per month paid out of the respective Fund’s assets (the "Administration Fee"). The Administration Fee shall be calculated as of the last Business Day of each calendar month and paid from the Company on or about the 15th Business Day of the subsequent month. The Administrator is also entitled to reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

Managers. The Company bears all direct and indirect costs

associated with investment advisory services of the Managers. Such costs may include both a fixed fee equal to a percentage of the average Net Asset Value of a given fund and a performance fee calculated as a percentage of the realized and unrealized annual profit produced by the assets of the fund managed by a given Manager. The Investment Manager will endeavor to negotiate with Managers to obtain reduced fees for the Company, although there can be no assurance that a fee less than that charged by a particular Manager to other investors will be possible.

Other Fees. The Company bears all other costs of its investment

program (including brokerage, banking and custody charges, interest, auditors, taxes and duties) as well as professional fees of its attorneys.

Brokerage The Managers of the Funds selected by the Investment Manager

may allocate portfolio transactions through brokerage accounts on the basis of best execution and also in consideration of such brokers' provision or payment of the costs of research and other investment-management-related services and equipment (i.e., “soft dollar” payments). Research and other investment management-related services and equipment obtained through soft dollar commission arrangements may benefit the Managers of Funds. Some soft dollar arrangements also may be outside of the parameters of Section 28(e) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which permits the use of soft dollars to acquire research and brokerage services. The commission rates charged by the brokers in the foregoing circumstances may be higher than those charged by other brokers who may not offer such services. See “MANAGEMENT−Brokerage.”

The Bank The bank for the Company is The Bank of New York (the

“Bank”).

(xiii)

Risk Factors An investment in the Company entails certain risks. There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable or that an investor will not lose some or all of its investment in the Company. Past results achieved by the Company, the Investment Manager, the Managers of the Funds or their affiliates, are not necessarily indicative of future results. Prospective investors should review carefully the discussion under the caption “RISK FACTORS” contained herein.

Valuations; Reporting The Administrator shall be responsible for computing as of each

Valuation Date, or at such other date as may be decided by the Board, the Net Asset Value of the Company and the Net Asset Value of the Class A, B, and C Shares. The Company sends Shareholders monthly reports of the Net Asset Value of the Company and the Net Asset Value of the Class of Shares. A report containing the Company's annual audited financial statements will be sent to Shareholders within six (6) months of the end of each Fiscal Year (as defined herein) or as soon thereafter as possible. The annual audited financial statements will be prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Conflicts of Interest An investment in the Company is subject to certain conflicts of

interest. See “CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.” Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year-end is December 31st of each year. Tax Status The Company should not be subject under current law to any

Cayman Islands or U.S. income taxation (other than U.S. withholding taxes on dividends and certain interest income derived from U.S. sources). Certain dividend income and certain capital gains income realized by the Company may be subject to income or withholding taxes in the source jurisdiction.

Transfers; Listing There is currently no public market for resale of Shares and none is

likely to exist in the future. Functional Currency The Company's functional currency (i.e., the currency in which it

maintains its books and records and its financial statements) is the U.S. Dollar.

Certain ERISA Considerations Investment in the Company generally will be open to employee

benefit plans and other funds subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code. Except as described below under "RISK FACTORS - Compliance with ERISA Transfer Restrictions", the Investment Manager intends to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause "benefit plan investors" not to own a significant portion of any class of equity interests in the Funds, so that the assets of the Funds should not be considered "plan assets" for purposes of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, although there can be no assurance that non "plan asset" status will be obtained or maintained (See “RISK FACTORS – Compliance with ERISA Transfer Restrictions”). Prospective purchasers and subsequent

(xiv)

transferees of Shares may be required to make certain representations regarding compliance with ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. See "CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS".

EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR THAT IS SUBJECT

TO ERISA AND/OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE IS ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH ITS OWN LEGAL, TAX AND ERISA ADVISORS AS TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.

Privacy Notice Any and all nonpublic personal information received by the

Company and the Investment Manager with respect to the Shareholders who are natural persons, including the information provided to the Company by a Shareholder in the subscription documents, will not be shared with nonaffiliated third parties which are not service providers to the Company and/or the Investment Manager without prior notice to such Shareholders. Such service providers include but are not limited to the Administrator, the auditors and the legal advisors of the Company. Additionally, the Company and/or the Investment Manager may disclose such nonpublic personal information as required by law, including without limitation, the disclosure that may be required by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

EXHIBIT: I. PRIVACY NOTICE


THE COMPANY Rye Select Broad Market Portfolio Limited (the “Company”) is an open-ended investment company organized as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands on 23 August 2001. The Company amended and restated its articles on December 31, 2002 and approved the issuance of a new Class B Shares. The Company is offering its Class A Shares (the “Class A Shares”) to Existing Shareholders and it’s Class B and C Shares to new Shareholders (the “Class B Shares” and the “Class C Shares” pursuant to this Prospectus. Furthermore, the Company’s Class D Shares are offered pursuant to a separate offering supplement to the Prospectus (the “Supplement”).

The Company’s Shares are currently being offered based on the Net Asset Value per Share as of the preceding Valuation Date. Any investors, who are not Existing Shareholders, will be issued Class B or Class C Shares. Class C Shares are the same in all material respects as the Class B Shares, except that Class C Shares are charged an Investor Servicing Fee (as defined herein). The Company’s Shares are currently being offered based on the Net Asset Value per Share as of the preceding Valuation Date. As of April 30, 2007 the Net Asset Value of the Company was $872,191,564. In addition to the Shares, the Company from time to time may authorise and issue additional classes of shares in its sole discretion. Such additional classes may be subject to terms and conditions different from the terms and conditions applicable to the Shares discussed herein (such as, among other things, different fee structures (including no fee assessments) and varying redemption rights to accommodate investors with special characteristics). The Company qualifies as a “mutual fund” under the Mutual Funds Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands and is so registered in the Cayman Islands and is regulated in accordance with such law. The proceeds of the sale and issue of each class of Shares will be deposited in an account for that class of Shares or be segregated on the books of the Company. The assets, liabilities, income and expenditures attributable to each such class of Shares will be applied to such account (or book entry) subject as provided herein and to applicable law. The assets so held in respect of each class of Shares will be applied solely in respect of that class of Shares except to the extent that expenses of the Company are allocated among the classes of Shares at the discretion of the Board (as defined herein). The Net Asset Value of each class of Shares will be calculated separately and, in terms of redemption, Shares of a particular class will be redeemed at the Net Asset Value of that class at the relevant time. For limitations of such a corporate structure as regards the liabilities of the Company, see “RISK FACTORS” herein. Fees and expenses that are identifiable with respect to a particular class of Shares will be charged against that class of Shares in computing its Net Asset Value. Other fees and expenses will be allocated pro rata between the classes based on their respective Net Asset Values, as necessary. The information in this Prospectus is qualified in its entirety by the agreements and documents referred to herein and by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, which are available from the Administrator upon request.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGIES Investment Objective The Company's objective is to seek to (i) achieve long term capital appreciation and (ii) consistently generate positive returns irrespective of stock market volatility or direction, while focusing on preservation of capital. The Company attempts to accomplish this investment objective by investing the majority of the assets with one Manager who employs a “split strike conversion” strategy. The remainder of the assets of the Company are invested with a diverse group of non-U.S. investment funds or similar vehicles (the “Funds”) whose Managers (as defined herein) employ a variety of investment strategies. Such strategies may encompass a wide variety of investment styles including but not limited to: statistical arbitrage; index arbitrage; pairs trading; convertible arbitrage; basis and spread trading; multiple strategy; long/short equity strategies; and merger arbitrage. These sophisticated investment strategies often require the use of derivative trading vehicles such as stock options, index options, futures contracts (subject to all applicable regulatory requirements), and options on futures. Should the Company invest with Funds that invest in futures, the Company and all appropriate individuals will register with the appropriate regulatory authorities prior to investing with such Fund. Investment Strategy The Investment Manager has delegated overall responsibility for allocating the assets of the Company to the Sub-Advisor who implements the investment strategy discussed herein and has the authority to select the Funds in which the Company invests its assets. Multi-Manager Investment Approach

The use of a multi-manager or “fund of funds” format, whereby investments are made through a variety of Funds, the Managers for which utilize different and, if possible, non-correlated investment strategies and trading techniques, is intended to afford the Company the ability to do the following: · Provide investors with a diversified investment portfolio and enable them to obtain above-

average returns over an extended period of time; · Invest with Managers of Funds that have different investment styles and philosophies; · Lower risk by investing in Funds, the performance of which have low volatility and low

correlations to each other; and · Invest with Managers of Funds that have a consistent past performance record. The overall success of the Company depends on the ability of (i) the Sub-Advisor to select appropriate Funds and to allocate the Company's assets, and (ii) each Fund to perform successfully. The past performance of the Sub-Advisor, the Investment Manager and/or any of the Funds or any of their respective managers (collectively, the “Managers”) is not necessarily indicative of the future profitability of any strategies employed by them. No assurance can be given that the strategy or strategies utilized by a given Manager of a Fund will be successful under all or any market conditions. There can be no guarantee of future performance and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its investment objective or be profitable. To the extent to which the assets of the Company may be invested with a particular Fund, such assets are subject to applicable legal and regulatory constraints. For example, the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Company Act”) (and the regulations thereunder), imposes limits on the ability of the Company to invest in “investment companies” (as defined in the Company Act).

3

The level of risk associated with the Company's investments varies depending on the particular investment strategy utilized by the Managers of the Funds. Potential investors in the Company should consider the risks associated with the Company's investment strategy prior to investing. The Sub-Advisor, Investment Manager and their affiliates cannot assure the Company's success or profitability. The success of the Company will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which are beyond their control. See “RISK FACTORS.” Selection of Funds The Sub-Advisor will select Funds that satisfy one or more criteria including, but not limited to:

• the investment management experience of the Manager; • the historical performance pattern of the Manager demonstrating consistent returns irrespective of

the market's volatility; • the degree to which a specific Fund complements and balances the Company's portfolio with respect

to the strategies employed by other Funds; • the quality and stability of the Fund's organization; • and the ability of the Company to make withdrawals from or liquidate its investment in a Fund.

Certain of the criteria may be emphasized above others in the selection of a particular Fund.

Distributions and Reinvestment The Company does not anticipate that any dividends or other distributions will be paid to holders of Shares in the Company (each a "Shareholder") out of the Company's current earnings and profits, but rather, that such income will be reinvested. Potential investors should remain aware of this limitation when determining whether or not an investment in the Company is suitable for their particular circumstances. The Company reserves the right to change such policy. Use of Proceeds

The net proceeds of the private offering contemplated herein (after payment of expenses) will be invested in accordance with the policies set forth under “INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGIES”. The Company, without limitation, may hold cash or invest in cash equivalents for short-term investments. Among the cash equivalents in which the Company may invest are: obligations of the U.S. and foreign governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, money market mutual funds, money market accounts and other similar bank accounts, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances issued by banks and financial institutions. In the event that the Sub-Advisor and/or the Investment Manager believes that there is not sufficiently good value in any securities suitable for investment of the Company's capital, all such capital may be held in cash and cash equivalents. Borrowing and Lending; Portfolio Lending The Managers of Funds may engage in short sales, that is, the practice of selling securities, which are borrowed from a third party. In such event, the Manager of any such Fund will be required to return, at the lender's demand, securities equivalent to those borrowed for the short sale. Pending the return of such securities, the Manager of such Fund will be required to deposit with the lender as collateral the proceeds of the short sale plus additional cash or securities; the amount of the required deposit may be adjusted periodically to reflect any change in the market price of the security which the Fund is required to return to the lender. See “RISK FACTORS”.

Investment Management Agreement

The Investment Manager performs its services for the Company pursuant to the terms of a management agreement between the Investment Manager and the Company (the “Management Agreement”). The Management Agreement provides that the Investment Manager will be responsible for, among other things, the supervision of the general administration and accounting services required by the Company in connection with its business and operation. The Management Agreement provides that the Investment Manager will not be liable to the Company for any act taken or omitted in good faith if negligence, reckless misfeasance, fraud or any violation of law is not involved. The Company will indemnify the Investment Manager in certain circumstances. The Management Agreement dated September 1, 2001 was amended as of December 31, 2002 and will continue in force and effect for an initial term ending on December 31, 2005, and thereafter, will be automatically renewed for successive one year terms, provided, however, that either party may terminate the Management Agreement by thirty (30) days’ prior written notice after the end of the initial term. The Administrator Tremont Partners, Inc. (the “Administrator”), a Connecticut corporation, has been appointed as the Company's Administrator pursuant to an Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) under which it provides administrative accounting, registrar and transfer agency services to the Company. However, the Administrator with effect from July 1, 2007 has delegated substantially all of its duties in this regard to the Company’s Bank, The Bank of New York, who will provide the delegated duties through its Alternative Investment Services division,(“BNY-AIS”) which will serve as the sub-administrator to the Company. See “Sub-Administrator” below.

The Administrator receives, as negotiated from time to time, an administrator fee consistent with its customary charges for providing accounting, shareholder record keeping and administrative services to the Company and is also entitled to be reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of its duties. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement entered into between the Company and the Administrator, the Administrator is responsible for, among other things: (i) maintaining the register of shareholders of the Company and generally performing all actions related to the issuance and transfer of Shares of the Company and the safe-keeping of certificates therefor, if any, (ii) reviewing and, subject to approval by the Board, accepting subscriptions for the Shares and accepting payment therefor, (iii) computing and disseminating the Net Asset Value of the Company and the Net Asset Value per Share for each class of Shares in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association and as otherwise stated in this Prospectus, (iv) performing all acts related to redemption of the Shares, (v) keeping the accounts of the Company and such financial books and records as are required by law or otherwise for the proper conduct of the financial affairs of the Company and preparing or procuring the preparation of unaudited monthly and audited annual financial statements of the Company and furnishing such statements to Shareholders, (vi) performing all other accounting and clerical services necessary in connection with the administration of the Company and (vii) communicating with Shareholders. The Administration Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party provided that at least ninety (90) days’ written notice has been given to the other party. The Administrator will not, in the absence of gross negligence, willful default or fraud on its part or on the part of its directors, officers, employees or delegates, be liable to the Company or any Shareholder for any act or omission, in the course of, or in connection with, the services rendered by it under the Administration Agreement or for any loss or damage which the Company may sustain or suffer as the result

7

of, or in the course of, the discharge by the Administrator or its directors, officers, employees or delegates of its duties under or pursuant to the Administration Agreement. The Company will indemnify the Administrator and its directors, officers, employees and delegates from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements or any kind or nature whatsoever (other than those resulting from the gross negligence, willful default or fraud on the part of the Administrator or its directors, officers, employees or delegates) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrator or its directors, officers, employees or delegates in performing its obligations or duties hereunder. See “FEES AND EXPENSES” herein for a description of the fees payable to the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement. The Sub-Administrator

The Company has retained BNY-AIS to serve as a sub-administrator to the Company (the “Sub-Administrator”) and substantially all of its duties in respect of the Company have been delegated to the Sub-Administrator. As such, the Sub-Administrator is responsible for assisting the Administrator with the day-to-day maintenance of the Company’s investor records, attending to subscription, redemption and share transfer requests and calculation of the Company’s Net Asset Value.

The Sub-Administrator,: a division of The Bank of New York (BNY) (see section entitled “Bank” below), specializes in providing administration and related services to alternative investment entities including hedge funds. Its primary objective is to provide a quality accounting and administrative service tailored to complex investment vehicles. At this time BNY-AIS works with over 90 hedge funds and money management firms and services over 401 entities representing net assets of approximately $105.6 billion. BNY-AIS has offices located in Hamilton, Bermuda; New York, New York; Dublin, Ireland and San Francisco, California.

BNY-AIS will assist the Administrator in performing certain day-to-day tasks on behalf of the Company, including: (i) maintaining the register of shareholders of the Company and generally performing all actions related to the issuance and transfer of Shares of the Company and the safe-keeping of certificates therefor, if any, (ii) reviewing and, subject to approval by the Board, accepting subscriptions for the Shares and accepting payment therefor, (iii) computing and disseminating the Net Asset Value of the Company and the Net Asset Value per Share for each class of Shares in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association and as otherwise stated in this Prospectus, (iv) performing all acts related to redemption of the Shares, (v) keeping the accounts of the Company and such financial books and records as are required by law or otherwise for the proper conduct of the financial affairs of the Company and preparing or procuring the preparation of unaudited monthly and audited annual financial statements of the Company and furnishing such statements to Shareholders, (vi) performing all other accounting and clerical services necessary in connection with the administration of the Company and (vii) communicating with Shareholders.

Brokerage

Managers of Funds will utilize various brokers to execute, settle and clear securities transactions for them. In selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions, an investment manager may consider such factors as price, the ability of the brokers to effect the transactions, the brokers' facilities, reliability and financial responsibility, and any research or investment-management-related services and equipment provided by such brokers. If a Manager obtains research or investment-management-related services from a broker, such manager may pay commissions to such broker in an amount greater than the amount another broker might charge.

8

Research or investment-management-related services and equipment provided by brokers through which portfolio transactions are executed, settled and cleared may include research reports on particular industries and companies, economic surveys and analyses, recommendations as to specific securities, on-line quotations, news and research services, and other services (e.g., computer and telecommunications equipment), providing lawful and appropriate assistance to the Managers in the performance of their investment decision-making responsibilities on behalf of their Funds (collectively, “soft dollar items”).

Soft dollar items within the Section 28(e) safe harbor of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether provided directly or indirectly, as well as soft dollar items that fall outside of the Section 28(e) safe harbor, may be utilized for the benefit of the Managers of Funds. Managers of the Funds may expect to use soft dollars to acquire soft dollar items that they would otherwise be obligated to provide to, or acquire at their own expense for, their investment vehicles.

Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act permits the use of soft dollar items in certain circumstances, provided that the investment vehicle does not pay a rate of commissions in excess of what is competitively available from comparable brokerage firms for comparable services, taking into account various factors, including commission rates, financial responsibility and strength and ability of the broker to efficiently execute transactions and refer investors. Non-research products acquired by Managers of Funds through the use of soft dollars, and soft dollars that are not generated through agency transactions in securities, are outside of the parameters of Section 28(e)'s safe harbor, as are transactions effected in futures, currencies or certain derivatives. Certain soft dollar items received by the Managers of Funds based on transactions for their investment vehicles may be outside of the safe harbor under Section 28(e). Shareholders should be aware that the Managers of the Funds may or may not follow brokerage practices similar to those described above and as a result, the Investment Manager will not be able to monitor whether or not certain soft dollar items received by the Managers are outside the safe harbor of Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act. The Bank

The Bank of New York (“BNY”), headquartered in New York and with offices globally, serves as the Company’s bank for purposes of receiving subscription funds, disbursing redemption payments and processing cash transactions not directly related to the Company’s investment portfolio.

BNY, founded in 1784 by Alexander Hamilton, is the United States’ oldest bank and is the principal

subsidiary of The Bank of New York Company, Inc. (NYSE:BK), a financial holding company. With approximately $13 trillion in total assets under custody as of December 31, 2006, BNY provides a complete range of banking and other financial services to corporations and individuals worldwide through its basic businesses, namely, Securities Processing and Global Payment Services, Corporate Banking, BNY Asset Management and Private Client Services, Retail Banking, and Global Market Services.

Portfolio assets will be held in the custody of one or more financial institutions, including any brokers

or dealers or other institutions through which the Company effects transactions. Portfolio transactions are executed by brokers and dealers selected on behalf of the Company on the basis of their ability to effect prompt and efficient executions at competitive rates. Brokerage and custody services may be provided by the Managers or their affiliated firms.

Independent Client Representative The Company has the authority to appoint a person (the “Independent Client Representative”) unaffiliated with the Sub-Advisor, the Investment Manager or any of their affiliates to act as the agent of the Company to give or withhold any consent of the Company required under applicable law to a transaction in which the Sub-Advisor and/or the Investment Manager causes the Company to purchase securities or other instruments from, or sell securities or other instruments to, the Sub-Advisor’s and/or the Investment

9

Manager’s affiliates or to engage in brokerage transactions in which any of the Sub-Advisor’s or the Investment Manager’s affiliates acts as a broker for another person on the side of the transaction opposite that of the Company. The role of the Independent Client Representative is to determine whether or not a proposed transaction falls within the investment purview of the Company notwithstanding the affiliated nature of the transaction. This is designed to meet the requirements of Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. If appointed, the Independent Client Representative may be paid by the Company and will receive an indemnity from the Company for claims arising out of its activity in such capacity.

10

FEES AND EXPENSES Management Fees

The Company pays the Investment Manager a monthly management fee calculated at an annual rate. The Management Fee for Class A Shares is calculated at an annual rate of one and a half percent (1.50%) of the month-end Class A Net Asset Value of the Company, and the Management Fee for Class B and Class C Shares is calculated at an annual rate of one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of the month end Class B and Class C Net Asset Value of the Company, respectively. The Management Fee is paid to the Investment Manager from the Company on or about the 15th Business Day of the subsequent month. Investor Servicing Fees The Investment Manager on behalf of the Company may enter into one or more agreements with one or more third party placement agents (each a “Placement Agent”) to place investors in the Class C Shares of the Company. Any such Placement Agents who place investors in the Company will be entitled to receive a fee from Class C Shareholders in an amount up to 1.00% of the Net Asset Value of the Class C Shares per annum (the “Investor Servicing Fee”). The Investor Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears. The Investor Servicing Fee will be prorated based upon a Class C Shareholder’s actual period of ownership of its Class C Shares. The Investor Servicing Fee is accrued monthly and is payable quarterly, in arrears, within a reasonable time thereafter. Administration Fees The Administrator receives a monthly administration fee calculated at the annual rate equal to one-fifth of one percent (0.20%) of the Company's average net assets per month paid out of the Company's assets (the "Administration Fee"). The Administration Fee will be calculated as of the last Business Day of each calendar month and paid by the Company on or about the 15th Business Day of the subsequent month. The Administrator is also entitled to reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. Fees of the Managers

The Company bears all direct and indirect costs associated with investment advisory services of the Managers. Such costs may include both a fixed fee equal to a percentage of the average net asset value of the fund managed by a given Manager and a performance fee calculated as a percentage of the realized and unrealized annual profit produced by the assets of the fund managed by a given Manager. The Investment Manager will endeavor to negotiate with Managers to obtain reduced fees for the Company, although there can be no assurance that a fee less than that charged by a particular Manager to other investors will be possible. Fees Relating to Brokerage

Decisions on purchase and sales of securities for the Company, the selection of brokers used in securities transactions and the negotiation of commission rates are made by the Managers of Funds. In selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions for the Company, there is no guarantee that the Managers of the Funds will allocate brokerage business on the basis of best available execution and in consideration of such brokers' provision or payment of the costs of services.

11

Other Operating Expenses

All ongoing costs and expenses associated with the administration and operation of the Company including brokerage commissions in relation to the affairs of the Company are borne by the Company and treated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Such ongoing expenses also include, but are not limited to the following: (i) charges, fees and expenses associated with investing in various Funds, (ii) fees and charges of custodians, (iii) interest and commitment fees on loans and debit balances, (iv) income taxes, withholding taxes, transfer taxes and other governmental charges and duties, (v) fees of the Company’s Administrator, legal advisers and independent auditors and accountants, (vi) Directors' fees and expenses, (vii) the cost of maintaining the Company’s registered office in the Cayman Islands and maintaining the Company in good standing and duly registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, (viii) the cost of preparing and distributing any subscription materials and any reports and notices to Shareholders, (ix) the costs incurred in connection with listing the Shares on any stock exchange, if such listing is deemed desirable in the sole discretion of the Directors, (x) the cost of insurance premiums if any, including, without limitation, the cost of director and officer liability insurance policies, and (xi) all similar ongoing operational expenses. Each Director of the Company who is not an officer or employee of the Investment Manager or related companies may receive fees for serving in such capacity. All Directors will receive reimbursement for travel and other costs incurred in connection with their services.

(i) 1,000,000 Class A Shares, par value U.S. $0.01 per Share; (ii) 1,000,000 Class B Shares, par value U.S. $0.01 per Share; (iii) 1,000,000 Class C Shares par value U.S. $0.01 per Share; (iv) 1,000,000 Class D Shares par value U.S. $0.01 per Share; (v) 999,900 undesignated redeemable participating non-voting Shares par value U.S. $0.01 each; and (vi) 100 non-participating voting Management Shares, par value U.S. $0.01 per share.

Each of the outstanding Shares participates ratably with all other outstanding Shares in the

Company's fees, expenses, assets and earnings with respect to such Class of Shares. Fractional shares are permitted to three decimal points. Each Share has the redemption rights discussed herein. There are no outstanding options or any special rights relating to any Shares, nor has it been agreed conditionally or unconditionally to put Shares under option.

The Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares are redeemable participating non-voting Shares in the

Company. The Management Shares are non-redeemable, non-participating shares, which have the sole voting rights in the Company.

Shares are issued on such terms and conditions as the Directors may determine. Each of the outstanding Shares participates ratably with all other outstanding Shares of the same class in the Company's fees, expenses, assets and earnings. Each Share has the redemption rights discussed herein. There are no outstanding options or any special rights relating to any Shares, nor has it been agreed conditionally or unconditionally to put Shares under option.

Each Share has equal voting rights and each Share in each class has equal dividend, distribution and liquidation rights and is redeemable in accordance with the Net Asset Value of the Shares of that class. Subject as provided herein, the Board may in its discretion issue additional classes of shares without notice to or consent of the Shareholders provided such additional classes do not dilute the Shares or modify the rights attaching thereto. Such additional classes of Shares may be subject to different terms and conditions than as discussed herein and may be offered pursuant to separate memoranda. Temporary Suspension of Dealings

The Board may temporarily declare a suspension of the sale, allotment, issue or redemption of the Shares and the payment on redemption of Shares (in any of the classes) upon the occurrence of any of the following circumstances: 1. If the determination of the Net Asset Value for the whole or part of a period during which

any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which any significant portion of the investments of the Company are listed, traded or dealt in is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closing) or trading on such stock exchange or market is restricted; or

13

2. When circumstances exist as a result of which in the opinion of the Board of Directors it is not reasonably practicable for the Company to dispose of its investments or as a result of which any such disposal would be materially prejudicial to Shareholders; or

3. When a breakdown occurs in any of the means normally employed in ascertaining the value

of a significant portion of its investments or when for any other reason the value of a significant portion of its investments or other assets of the Company cannot reasonably or fairly be ascertained.

The Board may temporarily declare a suspension of the determination of the Company's Net Asset Value (in any of the classes) during: 1. Any period when for any reason the prices of any investments which constitute a substantial

portion of the assets of the Company cannot be reasonably, promptly or accurately ascertained; or

2. Any period (other than customary holiday or weekend closings) when any recognised

exchange or market on which the Company's investments are normally dealt in or traded is closed, or during which trading thereon is restricted or suspended.

Any suspension of redemptions and the calculation of the Net Asset Value will be notified immediately to the Shareholders, and any stock exchange, if applicable, and, where possible, all reasonable steps will be taken to bring any period of suspension to an end as soon as possible. Voting and Other Rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, on a show of hands or on a poll every Shareholder present in person, or by proxy shall be entitled to vote in accordance with the aggregate Net Asset Value (as at the most recent date of determination) of Shares held by such Shareholder. General meetings of the Company's Shareholders may, but need not be, held annually to approve the selection of auditors and to attend to such other business as may properly be placed before a meeting. Shareholders will receive at least fourteen (14) days' notice of any Shareholders' meeting and will be entitled to vote their Shares either personally or by proxy. If the proxy sent with the notice of meeting is not completed and returned prior to the meeting and the Shareholder does not appear personally at such meeting, such Shares will be voted in the discretion of the proxy designated in the Subscription Agreement executed by such Shareholder. Registration and Transfer of Shares

Shares will be issued in registered form; the Company does not issue bearer shares. The Administrator maintains a current register of the names and addresses of the Company's Shareholders. Such entry in the share register will be conclusive evidence of ownership of such Shares. Certificates representing Shares will be issued only upon written request. Transfers of Shares are permitted only with the prior consent of the Board, which consent may be withheld in the absolute discretion of the Board (such as, in order to prevent adverse regulatory, pecuniary, legal, taxation or material administrative disadvantage to the Company or its Shareholders as a whole) or where the transfer would result in the transferee holding Shares with a Net Asset Value of less than U.S. $100,000 for the Class A, B, and C Shareholders. Any transferee is required to furnish the same information, which would be required in connection with a direct subscription in order for a transfer application to be considered by the Board. Violation of applicable ownership and transfer restrictions may result in a compulsory redemption.

14

SUBSCRIPTIONS

The Company is offering Shares on the first day of each calendar month and on any other day approved by the Board (each a “Subscription Date”) at a price per Share equal to the then current Net Asset Value per Share or other relevant class of Shares as of the preceding Valuation Date. See “SHARES OF THE COMPANY - The Company's Share Capital.” The Net Asset Value per Share of each class is calculated as of the close of the last Business Day of each month or such other date requiring the computation (each a “Valuation Date”). The term “Business Day” refers to any day when banks in the United States and Bermuda are open for business other than a Saturday or Sunday. Subscriptions received will be held in an account for those purposes or segregated on the books of the Company until such date as the sale of the subject Shares is effected. The minimum initial subscription for the Shares is U.S.$500,000. The minimum additional investment for Shares is U.S.$100,000. The Board may, in its sole discretion, accept a lesser amount with respect to such investments. Subscriptions are payable only in U.S. Dollars. The acceptance of subscriptions is subject to confirmation of the prior receipt of cleared funds credited to the Company's subscription account and the receipt of completed subscription documents in a form acceptable to the Administrator. The Board reserves the right to reject subscriptions in its absolute discretion. A purchaser found acceptable to the Company will be sold that number of Shares at the Net Asset Value per Share. Subscriptions may be suspended under certain circumstances. (See “SHARES OF THE COMPANY - Temporary Suspension of Dealings.”) None of the Shares of the Company are under option or agreed, conditionally or unconditionally to be under option.

15

REDEMPTIONS Shareholders may request a redemption of Shares, on thirty-six (36) days' prior written notice to the Administrator, as of the last Business Day of each month, or on another Valuation Date (each a “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price per Share equal to the Net Asset Value per Share of the relevant class of Shares on the corresponding Valuation Date. Except with the consent of the Board of Directors, redemption requests are irrevocable. If a redemption would cause the value of the Shares held by a Shareholder to fall below U.S.$100,000, or such other minimum amount or amounts as determined by the Board, then the Board has the right to require the compulsory redemption of all Shares held by such Shareholder. Settlement of redemptions will generally take place within thirty (30) days after the Redemption Date, although the Company reserves the right to retain up to ten percent (10%) of the settlement proceeds until after the annual audit for the year in which the redemption occurs is completed to confirm the accuracy of the amount or to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. The Board shall have the right to require the compulsory redemption of all Shares held by a Shareholder upon ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice (in order to prevent adverse regulatory, pecuniary, legal, taxation or material administrative consequences of the Company or its Shareholders as a whole), at the price per Share equal to the then prevailing Net Asset Value per Share of the relevant class of Shares. In circumstances where the Company is unable to liquidate securities positions in an orderly manner in order to fund redemptions or where the value of the assets and liabilities of the Company cannot reasonably be determined, the Company may extend such thirty (30) day limitation to effect settlements of redemptions or it may even suspend redemptions. The Board may in its discretion settle redemptions in kind for all redemptions submitted in respect for a given Redemption Date. Redemptions of the Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares will be made in U.S. Dollars and in extraordinary circumstances, the Board may determine to pay redemption proceeds “in kind” or partially in cash and partially “in kind.” Any such distribution “in kind” will not materially prejudice the interests of the remaining shareholders. Cash settlements will be remitted by wire transfer to an account designated by the Shareholder at the Shareholder's bank as specified by the Shareholder's written redemption notice. A Shareholder has no rights with regard to Shares to be redeemed after the close of business on the date as of which the Redemption Price is calculated, except to receive the Redemption Price therefor. Net Asset Value determinations are based on the market value of the Company's assets as of the Redemption Date, after deducting all accrued debts and liabilities of the Company, including any contingencies for which reserves are determined to be required. Such deductions will include all fees earned but not yet paid. Redemptions may be suspended under certain circumstances. See “SHARES OF THE COMPANY - Temporary Suspension and Dealings.”

In this regard, a limited number of Shares (in the Company's discretion) may be offered and sold to certain U.S. investors, including without limitation, pension and profit sharing and 401(k) plans upon meeting certain eligibility standards such as being an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and other standards defined by the Company from time to time. Such prospective investors should consider the provisions in this Prospectus under the heading “ERISA CONSIDERATIONS.”

18

DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUATION The Company's Net Asset Value is equal to the Company's assets, calculated at its fair value; less it liabilities and any accrued but unpaid expenses (including, without limitation, the Management Fee described below) and reasonable reserves. Each class will have its own Net Asset Value, determined in the manner described below, and each class' Net Asset Value per Share will be determined by dividing the particular class' Net Asset Value by the number of Shares then outstanding. Such valuation will be made in good faith by the Administrator after consulting with the Investment Manager and the Directors. The Administrator, under the overall supervision and direction of the Board, based upon information supplied by the Funds’ administrators, determines the Net Asset Value of the Company and the Net Asset Value per Share of each class. Such calculations are made as of each Valuation Date, Redemption Date or any other point in time when such valuation is determined by the Directors to be necessary or appropriate. Such valuations are made by the Administrator acting in good faith. Any Management Fees calculated in respect to a particular class of Shares will be deducted against the Net Asset Value of such class. The Administrator, in consultation with the Investment Manager and the Directors, and pursuant to any policies established by the Board, shall value the assets and liabilities of the Company as follows:

1. The value of the assets of the Company will be based on valuations supplied by the administrators of Funds in accordance with the practices and policies of each such Fund of Funds. Such practices and policies may not be consistent.

2. All other assets and liabilities of the Company shall be assigned such value as the

Administrator, in consultation with the Investment Manager and the Directors, may reasonably determine.

3. If the Administrator, in consultation with the Investment Manager and the Directors,

determines that any of the above valuation methodologies of any investments or other property does not fairly represent market value, the Administrator, in consultation with the Investment Manager and the Directors, shall value such securities or other property as it shall reasonably determine and shall set forth the basis of such valuation in writing in the records of the Company.

4. All values assigned to securities and other assets and liabilities by the Administrator, in

consultation with the Investment Manager and the Directors, shall be final and conclusive. Valuations provided by the administrators of the Funds will not be subject to independent review or investigation by the Company and the Company and the Investment Manager are entitled to rely on such valuations without independent verification.

In determining the Company’s Net Asset Value based upon the above parameters, the following shall be subtracted: (a) Management Fees that have accrued, as of the date of computation, but are not yet payable; (b) the then current amount of any Management Fees that have been earned but unpaid in the prior years; (c) an amount equal to the cumulative monthly amortization of expenses and costs; (d) an allowance for the cost of the Company’s annual audit and legal fees; and (e) any contingency for which reserves are determined to be appropriate. With regard to a redeeming shareholder, the Redemption Fee, if any, that is being imposed will be subtracted from that shareholder's redemption proceeds and will be added to the Company’s Net Asset Value at the next subsequent Valuation Date.

19

In computing the Net Asset Value in order to determine the Management Fee for a current period, (i) the Management Fees earned but not yet paid (i.e., the amount referred to in clause (b) of the immediately preceding paragraph) shall not be subtracted and (ii) such current Management Fee shall be computed with regard to investment activity only and without reference to other expenses of the Company. The Company’s auditors shall be entitled to rely on invoices from others (including, without limitation, the Investment Manager) with regard to allocations of expenses. Prospective investors should be aware that situations involving uncertainties as to the valuation of a Fund could have an adverse effect on the Net Asset Value determination of the Company if the valuation information reported by the Funds' administrators should be reported in an untimely manner or prove incorrect. Absent bad faith or manifest error, the Administrator's determination of the Net Asset Values is conclusive and binding on all Shareholders and prospective investors.

20

RISK FACTORS Prospective investors should give careful consideration to the following risk factors in evaluating the merits and suitability of an investment in the Company as they relate specifically to the Shares or to the Company, in general, as the context requires. The following does not purport to be a comprehensive summary of all the risks associated with an investment in the Company. Rather, the following are only certain particular risks to which the Company is subject that the Company wishes to encourage prospective investors to discuss in detail with their professional advisors. No Liquidity

There is no active secondary market for investments in the Company and, accordingly, investments in the Company may be disposed of only through the redemption procedures described elsewhere in this Prospectus. Business Dependent Upon Key Individuals

All investment decisions with respect to the investment of the Company's assets will be made by the Investment Manager, which relies on the services of its personnel. Moreover, the Company will be highly dependent upon the expertise and abilities of the underlying Managers of the Funds who will have investment discretion over the Company's assets. Shareholders will have no right or power to take part in the management of the Company. As a result, the success of the Company for the foreseeable future will depend largely upon the ability of the Investment Manager and the Managers of the Funds. There is no assurance that the strategies employed by the Company will achieve attractive returns or will be successful. Additionally, the death, incapacity or retirement of any key personnel may adversely affect investment results. Multi-Manager Concept

Prospective investors should carefully consider the effect on the Company of the Investment Manager’s strategy of investing all or substantially all of the Company's assets with selected Funds. Two aspects of this investment strategy that will affect the success of the Company are the risk of delegating control of a majority of the Company's assets to persons other than the Investment Manager and the increased cost. There is no way of predicting how the Managers of the Funds will make investments or whether they will act in accordance with any disclosure documents or descriptive materials given by them to the Company. This strategy significantly increases the fees and expenses payable by the Company since the Managers of the Funds typically charge their own fees and expenses. The cost of investment advisory and management services relating to investments by the Company, including investments made by the Funds, are also paid by the Company. Access to Information from Funds

The Company will receive periodic reports from the Managers of Funds at the same time as any other investor with such Fund. The Investment Manager will request detailed information on a continuing basis from each Fund regarding the Fund's investment strategies. However, the Investment Manager may not always be provided with detailed information regarding all the investments made by the Funds because certain of this information may be considered proprietary information by the Manager of the Fund. This lack of access to information may make it more difficult for the Investment Manager to allocate the Company's assets among the Funds and evaluate the Managers of the Funds. Moreover, although the Investment Manager will receive detailed information from the Manager of each Fund regarding its historical performance and

21

investment strategy, in most cases there will be little or no means of independently verifying this information. Accordingly, neither the Investment Manager nor the Company will undertake any due diligence activity with regard to assessing the merits and risks associated with investing in a particular Fund. Moreover, the investment strategies of the Managers of the Funds may include such investment techniques as short sales and leverage (as further discussed herein) which practices can, in certain circumstances, maximize the adverse impact to which the Company's assets may be subject. Investment Decisions of the Managers of Each Fund Are Independent of Each Other

Investment decisions made by the Managers of each Fund are independent of each other. As a result, at any particular time, one Manager may be purchasing shares of an issuer whose shares are being sold by another Manager. Consequently, the Company could indirectly incur certain transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result. Overall, there can be no guarantee that each Manager will perform and continue to perform accurately and in good faith, and the Investment Manager has no ability to proactively determine whether or not the stated objective of such Manager is being pursued accurately and in good faith. Incentive Fees Payable Irrespective of Fund Performance

Each Manager of a Fund may receive a performance-based fee or allocation to which it is entitled irrespective of the performance of the other Funds and the Company generally. Accordingly, a Manager of a Fund with positive performance may receive compensation from the Company even if the Company’s overall investment return is negative. Delays in Reporting

For the Company to provide an audited annual report to its Shareholders, it must receive information on a timely basis from the administrators of the Funds. A Fund's administrator's delay in providing this information could delay the Company’s preparation of the Company’s annual and other reports. Nature of Certain Investments

There is no limitation on the size or operating experience of the companies in which the Managers of the Funds may invest. Some small companies in which the Managers may invest through the various Funds may lack management depth or the ability to generate internally or obtain externally the funds necessary for growth. Companies with new products or services could sustain significant losses if projected markets do not materialize. Further, such companies may have, or may develop, only a regional market for products or services and may be adversely affected by purely local events. Such companies may be small factors in their industries and may face intense competition from larger companies and entail a greater risk than investment in larger companies. Lack of Liquidity in Markets

The securities acquired by the Managers of the Funds lack a liquid trading market, which may result in the inability of the Managers of the Funds to sell such assets and may impair the Company's ability to realize the full value of its assets in the event of a voluntarily or involuntarily liquidation of such assets. Liquidity relates to the ability of the Company to sell and invest in a timely manner. Trading Risks

The success of the Company's investment activities will depend on the Managers of the Funds ability to identify and exploit price discrepancies in the capital markets. Identification and exploitation of the market

22

opportunities involve uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Managers will be able to locate investment opportunities or to correctly exploit price discrepancies in the capital markets.

For any given period of time, the investments of a Fund may be concentrated in a relatively small number of positions, with the attendant risk that fluctuations in the value of a small number of positions will significantly affect the value of the portfolio. Risks of Certain Investments Made By Managers of Funds

The Company is engaged in a diversified investment strategy concentrating primarily on investing in securities through Funds, some of which may not be marketable. The securities business is speculative, prices are volatile, and market movements are difficult to predict. Supply and demand for securities change rapidly and are affected by a variety of factors, including interest rates, merger activities and general economic trends. Different Funds in which the Company's assets are invested may hold offsetting positions in the same or similar investments, thus reducing the Company's potential for gain (as well as potential for loss) on such particular investment.

In addition to these general investment risks, Managers of Funds may use investment techniques that may subject a Manager's Fund as well as the Company to certain risks; some, but not all, of these techniques and risks are summarized below.

Options. In seeking to enhance performance or hedge assets, Managers may engage from time to time in various types of options transactions. An option gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, upon exercise of the option, either (i) to buy or sell a specific amount of the underlying security at a specific price (the “strike” price or “exercise” price), or (ii) in the case of a stock index option, to receive a specified cash settlement. To purchase an option, the purchaser must pay a “premium,” which consists of a single, nonrefundable payment. Unless the price of the securities interest underlying the option changes and it becomes profitable to exercise or offset the option before it expires, the Fund may lose the entire amount of the premium. The purchaser of an option runs the risk of losing the entire investment. Thus, a Fund may incur significant losses in a relatively short period of time. The ability to trade in or exercise options also may be restricted in the event that trading in the underlying securities interest becomes restricted. Options trading may also be illiquid in the event that a Fund's assets are invested in contracts with extended expirations. Managers may purchase and write put and call options on specific securities, on stock indexes or on other financial instruments and, to close out its positions in options, may make a closing purchase transaction or closing sale transaction.

Arbitrage and Speculative Securities Transactions. The Company may invest in Funds whose Managers employ risk arbitrage. When the Managers determine that it is probable that a transaction (e.g., a merger) will be consummated, the Manager may purchase securities at prices often only slightly below the anticipated value to be paid or exchanged for such securities in the merger, exchange offer or cash tender offer (and substantially above the price at which such securities traded immediately prior to the announcement of the merger, exchange offer or cash tender offer). If the proposed merger, exchange offer or cash tender offer appears likely not to be consummated or in fact is not consummated or is delayed, the market price of the security to be tendered or exchanged will usually decline sharply, resulting in a loss to the Fund. In addition, where a security to be issued in a merger or exchange offer has been sold short in the expectation that the short position will be covered by delivery of such security when issued, failure of the merger or exchange offer to be consummated may force the Fund to cover its short positions in the market at higher price than its short sale, with a resulting loss.

In addition, Managers may determine that the offer price for a security that is the subject of a tender offer is likely to be increased, either by the original bidder or by another party. In those circumstances,

23

Managers may purchase securities above the offer price, thereby exposing the Fund to an even greater degree of risk.

When the Managers determine that it is probable that a transaction will not be consummated, such Managers may sell the securities of the target company short, at times significantly below the announced price for the securities in the transaction. If the transaction (or another transaction, such as a defensive merger or a friendly tender offer) is consummated at the announced price or a higher price, Managers may be forced to cover the short positions in the market at a higher price than the short sale price, with a resulting loss.

The consummation of mergers, exchange offers and cash tender offers can be prevented or delayed by a variety of factors. Offers for tender or exchange offers customarily reserve the right to cancel such offers in a variety of circumstances, including an insufficient response from shareholders of the target company. Even if the defensive activities of a target company or the actions of regulatory authorities fail to defeat an acquisition, they may result in significant delays, during which a Fund's capital will be committed to the transaction and interest charges may be incurred on funds borrowed to finance its arbitrage activities in connection with the transaction.

Exchange offers or cash tender offers are often made for less than all of the outstanding securities of an issuer, with the provision that, if a greater number is tendered, securities will be accepted on a pro rata basis. Thus, after the completion of a tender offer, and at a time when the market price of the securities has declined below its cost, a Fund may have the securities returned to it, and be forced to sell at a loss, a portion of the securities it had previously tendered.

Managers may make certain speculative purchases of securities. Such purchases may include securities of companies that are involved in, or that are believed to be involved in, corporate restructurings, that the Managers believe are misvalued because of an extraordinary event, or that are expected to undergo a change in value because of an expected occurrence. Managers may also make concentrated investments in securities of companies that may be or may become targets for takeovers. If Managers purchase securities in anticipation of an acquisition attempt or reorganization or with the intention to influence the management and policies of the issuer of the securities, and an acquisition attempt or reorganization does not in fact occur or the Managers are not able to so influence the issuer of the securities, the Managers may sell the securities at a material loss.

In most forms of corporate reorganization, there exists the risk that the reorganization either will be unsuccessful (for example, for failure to obtain requisite approvals), will be delayed (for example, until various liabilities, actual or contingent, have been satisfied) or will result in a distribution of cash or a new security the value of which will be less than the purchase price of the security in respect of which such distribution was made.

In certain transactions, the Managers may not be able to hedge against market fluctuations or, in liquidation situations, may not accurately value the assets of the company being liquidated. This can result in losses, even if the proposed transaction is consummated.

The Managers may invest in securities of issuers in weak financial condition, experiencing poor operating results, having substantial capital needs or negative net worth, confronting significant legal or regulatory problems, or that are involved in bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings. Investments of this type may involve substantial financial and business risks that can result in substantial or at times even total losses. Among the risks inherent in investments in troubled entities is the fact that it frequently may be difficult to obtain information as to the true condition of such issuers. In the U.S., such investments also may be adversely affected by state and Federal laws relating to, among other things, fraudulent transfers and other voidable transfers or payments, lender liability and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's power to disallow, reduce, subordinate or disenfranchise particular claims. The market prices of such securities are also subject to abrupt

24

and erratic market movements and above-average price volatility, and the spread between the bid and asked prices of such securities may be greater than those prevailing in other securities markets. It may take a number of years for the market price of such securities to reflect their intrinsic value. In addition, because fewer bidders for securities of financially troubled companies exist, such securities may become illiquid.

For any given period of time, the investments of the Funds may be concentrated in a relatively small number of positions, with the attendant risk that fluctuations in the value of a small number of positions will significantly affect the value of the portfolio.

Short Selling. Managers may engage in the short-selling of securities in certain circumstances. Short-selling is the selling of securities the seller does not own. Short sales may only be maintained if the securities can be borrowed. If the security cannot remain borrowed, the Fund could be required to cover the short sale at a loss or at an inopportune time for such Fund. If securities are sold short, Managers would fulfill their obligation to deliver such securities with borrowed securities. They would only profit from such a practice if they could fulfill their obligation to the lender of the securities by repaying the lender with securities, which they have purchased at a price lower than the price they received for the short sale. If the price of a security that has been sold short increases, there is no limit to the loss that could be incurred in covering a short sale.

Forward Trading. Managers may invest in forward contracts and options thereon. Such contracts and options, unlike futures contracts, are not traded on exchanges and are not standardized; rather banks and dealers act as principals in these markets, negotiating each transaction on an individual basis. Forward and “cash” trading is substantially unregulated; there is no limitation on daily price movements and speculative position limits are not applicable. The principals who deal in the forward markets are not required to continue to make markets in the currencies or commodities they trade, and these markets can experience periods of illiquidity, sometimes of significant duration. There have been periods during which certain participants in these markets have refused to quote prices for certain currencies or commodities or have quoted prices with an unusually wide spread between the price at which they were prepared to buy and that at which they were prepared to sell.

Use of Swap Agreements. Managers may use swap agreements. The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary securities transactions. Interest rate swaps, for example, do not typically involve the delivery of securities, other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the market risk of loss with respect to an interest rate swap is often limited to the amount of interest payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make on a net basis. If the other party to an interest rate swap defaults, the Fund's risk of credit loss may be the amount of interest payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive on a net basis. However, where swap agreements require one party's payments to be “up-front” and timed differently than the other party's payments (such as is often the case with currency swaps), the entire principal value of the swap may be subject to the risk that the other party to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Fund may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years, and has become relatively more liquid, with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. The investment performance of the Fund, however, may be adversely affected by the use of swaps if the Fund's forecasts of market values, interest rates or currency exchange rates are inaccurate.

Over-the-Counter Trading. Managers may use derivative instruments. Derivative instruments that may be purchased or sold by the Funds are expected to regularly consist of instruments not traded on an exchange. The risk of nonperformance by the obligor on such an instrument may be greater, and the ease with which the Fund can dispose of or enter into closing transactions with respect to such an instrument may be less, than in the case of an exchange-traded instrument. In addition, significant disparities may exist

25

between bid and asked prices for derivative instruments that are not traded on an exchange. Derivative instruments not traded on exchanges are also not subject to the same type of government regulation as exchange traded instruments, and many of the protections afforded to participants in a regulated environment may not be available in connection with such transactions.

Certain Securities. Investing in the securities of companies (and governments) in certain countries (such as emerging nations or countries with less well regulated securities markets than the U.S. or the UK or other European Union countries, for that matter) involves certain considerations not usually associated with investing in securities of United States companies or the United States Government. For instance, there are, including among other things, political and economic considerations, such as greater risks of expropriation, nationalization and general social, political and economic instability; the small size of the securities markets in such countries and the low volume of trading, resulting in potential lack of liquidity and in price volatility; fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies and costs associated with currency conversion; certain government policies that may restrict investment opportunities; and in some cases less effective government regulation than is the case with securities markets in the United States.

Leverage; Interest Rates. Managers may use leverage, including borrowing to buy securities on margin or make other investments. The Managers may also leverage their assets by entering into reverse repurchase agreements whereby they effectively borrow funds on a secured basis by “selling” their interests in investments to a financial institution for cash and agreeing to “repurchase” such investments at a specified future date for the sales price paid plus interest at a negotiated rate. In the event of a sudden, precipitous drop in value of Fund assets, the Manager might not be able to liquidate assets quickly enough to meet its margin or borrowing obligations. Also, because acquiring and maintaining positions on margin allows the Fund to control positions worth significantly more than its investment in those positions, the amount that the Fund stands to lose in the event of adverse price movements is high in relation to the amount of its investment. In addition, since margin interest will be an expense of the Fund and margin interest rates tend to fluctuate with interest rates generally, the Fund is at risk that interest rates generally, and hence margin interest rates, will increase, thereby increasing the Fund's expenses.

Transaction Expenses. Managers may make frequent trades in securities. Frequent trades typically result in correspondingly high transaction costs.

Hedging Transactions. Managers may utilize a variety of financial instruments such as derivatives, options, interest rate swaps, caps and floors and forward contracts, both for investment purposes and for risk management purposes. Hedging also involves special risks including the possible default by the other party to the transaction, illiquidity and, to the extent the Managers' assessment of certain market movements is incorrect, the risk that the use of hedging could result in losses greater than if hedging had not been used. The Funds are subject to the risk of the failure or default of any counterparty to the Funds' transactions. If there is a failure or default by the counterparty to such a transaction, the Funds will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction (which may or may not be meaningful depending on the financial position of the defaulting counterparty).

Illiquidity of Investments. Investments of the Company's assets will, in certain cases, be long-term in nature and may require several years before they are suitable for sale. Realization of value from such investments may be difficult in the short-term, or may have to be made at a substantial discount compared to other freely tradeable investments. In placing funds with a particular Fund for investment, the Company may be restricted in its ability to redeem its investment therein to meet redemption requests by Shareholders or to pay expenses or fees.

26

Institutional Risk

The institutions, including brokerage firms and banks, with which the Company (directly or indirectly) does business, or to which securities have been entrusted for custodial and prime brokerage purposes, may encounter financial difficulties that impair the operational capabilities or the capital position of the Company. Cash held by brokers or custodians for the account of the Funds will be subject to the protections conferred by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). However, brokers may make loans to the Funds, and such loans will be secured by assets of the Funds held by the brokers. As continuing security for the payment and discharge of all liabilities of the Funds to the brokers, investments held by the brokers are pledged as collateral and the brokers are authorised to borrow, lend or otherwise to use for its own purposes any of the Funds' investments, subject to and to the extent permitted by the SEC's rules. In the event of the insolvency of the brokers, the Fund might not be able to recover equivalent assets in full. Illiquidity of the Investment

The consent of the Company must be obtained prior to any transfer of Shares. In light of the restrictions imposed on a transfer of Shares, and in light of the limitations imposed on a Shareholder's ability to redeem all or part of his or its capital from the Company, an investment in the Company should be viewed as illiquid and subject to risk. Effect of Substantial Redemptions

Substantial redemptions by Shareholders within a short period of time could require the Investment Manager to liquidate positions more rapidly than would otherwise be desirable, which could adversely affect the value of the Company's assets. The resulting reduction in the Company's assets could make it more difficult to generate a positive rate of return or to recoup losses due to a reduced equity base. Regulation

The Company is not registered as an investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (or any similar state laws). Registered investment companies are subject to extensive regulation. Shareholders, therefore, will not be accorded the protective measures provided by such legislation. Changes in Applicable Law

The Company must comply with various legal requirements, including requirements imposed by the securities laws, tax laws and pension laws in various jurisdictions. Should any of those laws change over the scheduled term of the Company, the legal requirements to which the Company and the Shareholders may be subject could differ materially from current requirements. Reserve for Contingent Liabilities

Under certain circumstances, the Company may find it necessary to establish a reserve for contingent liabilities or withhold a portion of the Shareholder's settlement proceeds at the time of redemption, in which case, the reserved portion would remain at the risk of the Company's activities.

27

Lack of Independent Experts Representing Investors

The Investment Manager has consulted with counsel, accountants and other experts regarding the Company and the preparation of these offering materials. Each prospective investor should consult his own legal, tax and financial advisors regarding the desirability of an investment in the Company. General Economic Conditions

The success of any investment activity is influenced by general economic conditions, for example, inflation rates, industry conditions, interest rates, political events and trends, and tax laws. These and innumerable other factors can substantially and adversely affect the business of the Company. In addition, unexpected volatility or illiquidity in the markets in which the Company directly or indirectly holds positions could impair the Company's ability to carry out its business and could cause it to incur losses. Suspensions of Trading

Each securities exchange typically has the right to suspend or limit trading in all securities, which it lists. Such a suspension would render it impossible for the Investment Manager or the Managers to liquidate positions and, accordingly, could expose the Company to losses.

28

ERISA Considerations The Investment Manager intends to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause employee benefit plans subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and other “benefit plan investors,” as defined in the Plan Asset Regulation, in the aggregate hold less than 25% of each class of shares in the Company and of any other class of shares in the Company. The Investment Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to restrict transfers of any shares in the Company so that ownership of each class of shares in the Company by benefit plan investors will remain below the 25% threshold contained in the Plan Asset Regulation. In this event, although there can be no assurance that such will be the case, the assets of the Company should not constitute “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investment Manager may exceed 25% at any time in its sole discretion. If the assets of the Company were to become “plan assets” subject to ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, certain investments made or to be made by the Company in the normal course of its operations might result in non-exempt prohibited transactions and might have to be rescinded (see “ERISA CONSIDERATIONS”). If at any time the Investment Manager determines that assets of the Fund may be deemed to be “plan assets” subject to ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, the Investment Manager may take certain actions it may determine necessary or appropriate, including requiring one or more investors to redeem or otherwise dispose of all or part of their Shares in the Company or terminating and liquidating the Company. See " ERISA CONSIDERATIONS." Additional General Risks Valuation Methods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Articles permit the Directors to review and approve the use of non-standard valuation methods where special circumstances exist. In such cases the Directors may permit the Investment Manager, in a reasonable manner, in good faith and subject to generally acceptable accounting principles, to rely upon opinions and estimates of any persons who appear to them to be competent to value any asset or liability of the Company of any type or designation by reason of any appropriate professional qualification or experience of the relevant market or issuer. Prospective investors should be aware that situations involving uncertainties as to the valuation of portfolio positions could have an adverse effect on the Net Asset Value determination if judgments regarding appropriate valuations should prove incorrect. Absent bad faith or manifest error, the Investment Manager’s determination of Net Asset Value is conclusive and binding on all investors and prospective investors. Allocation of Fees. The Directors shall, subject to the Companies Law, have the discretion to determine the basis upon which any fees and expenses, asset or liability shall be allocated by or within the Company and the Directors shall have power at any time and from time to time to vary such basis.

Currency Exposure. As the Net Asset Value of the Company will be calculated in U.S. Dollars for Shares offered in respect of the Company, each holder of Shares and not the Company, will bear the risk of any foreign currency exposure resulting from differences, if any, in the value of U.S. Dollars to the currency in which a holder of Shares maintains their net worth. Side Pockets. The Directors may determine to create a “side pocket” within the Company at their absolute discretion and such “side pocket” shall be capable of being constituted as a separate division of Shares of the Company, to which the Directors in consultation with the Investment Manager may determine to allocate or attribute particular investments or assets, including but not limited to investments or assets which are illiquid, difficult to value, subject to lock up or non-redemption provisions, subject to special circumstances in the opinion of the Directors, or such assets and investments which it may be prudent, necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Directors to segregate from other assets or investments of the

29

Company. The Directors may determine to apply and or impose particular investment restrictions with respect to the side pocketed assets. Side Letters. The Company, by unanimous consent of the Directors in consultation with the Investment Manager, may from time to time seek to induce investment in the Company by offering investment terms to certain prospective investors which are not available to existing investors in the Company. In such cases the parties will enter into a written side arrangement varying the standard terms of offer herein. Such variations may include, without limitation, variations to fees, minimum investment or redemptions, with the effect that not all investors in the Company will invest on the same terms and some investors may be expected to enjoy more favorable terms than others.The foregoing list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete explanation of the risks involved in investing in the Company. Potential investors should read this entire Prospectus before determining whether to invest in the Company and consult with their own financial and tax advisers. Potential investors should also be aware that, if they decide to purchase Shares, they will have no role in the management of the Company and will be required to rely on the expertise of the Investment Manager and the Administrator in dealing with the foregoing (and other) risks on a day-to-day basis.

30

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST The Company is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its relationship with the Investment Manager and the Administrator. These conflicts include, but are not limited to, the following: Certain Investment Manager Activities

The Investment Manager manages accounts and performs investment management for its own account and for others, or may so do in the future, including for other investment funds similar in nature to the Company and for managed accounts. Also, the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates and/or employees may from time to time, have an interest, direct or indirect, in a security whose purchase or sale is recommended or which is purchased, sold or otherwise traded for the Company. As a result, the Investment Manager may sell or recommend the sale of a particular security for certain accounts including accounts in which it has an interest and it or others may buy or recommend the purchase of such security for other accounts, including accounts in which it has an interest and, accordingly, transactions in particular accounts may not be consistent with transactions in other accounts or with the Investment Manager’s investment recommendations. For example, the Investment Manager may recommend that the Company sell a security, while not recommending such sale for other accounts in order to enable the Company to have sufficient liquidity to honor Shareholders' redemption requests. Where there is a limited supply of investments, the Investment Manager will ensure reasonable efforts to allocate or rotate investment opportunities on a fair and equitable basis, but the Investment Manager cannot assure absolute equality among all accounts and clients. From time to time the Company may buy (or sell) securities, which are being sold (or bought) for other managed accounts.

The Investment Manager and its affiliates may engage in other business ventures. In managing the operations of more than one entity, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to allocating time, personnel and other resources. The decision makers will devote such time to the affairs of the Company, as they, in their sole discretion, deem necessary.

Investors should be aware that Managers of Funds selected by the Company may be subject to similar conflicts of interest as described above. Directors The Directors and the service providers may have conflicts of interest in relation to their duties to the Company. However, each shall, at all times, pay regard to its obligation to act in the best interests of the Company and the Directors will ensure that all such potential conflicts of interest are resolved fairly and in the interests of Shareholders. When allocating investment opportunities, the Investment Manager will ensure that all such investments will be allocated in a fair and equitable manner. Common Counsel The law firm of Tannenbaum Helpern Syracuse & Hirschtritt LLP, which serves as counsel to the Company, has and will continue to serve as counsel to the Investment Manager and Administrator. Counsel has attempted to be fair and reasonable and believes it has acted in a manner consistent with its professional responsibilities. Should a future dispute arise between the Company, the Investment Manager and the Administrator, the Board of Directors will cause the Company to retain separate counsel.

31

Related Parties It should be noted that the Investment Manager, Sub-Advisor, Administrator and the Company are members of the Tremont group of companies, as such may share not only common officers, employees, agents and affiliates but may be direct or indirect subsidiaries of one another. It should also be noted that the Sub-Advisor and the Administrator are the same entity and both are likely to become involved in the investment process of the Company. The Investment Manager receives fees from the Company based upon the Net Asset Value calculated by the Administrator. The Sub-Advisor receives fees from the Investment Manager for its services hereunder. As such, a certain level of independence as it relates to matters adversely affecting the Investment Manager, Sub-Advisor and the Administrator may be absent. The Investment Manager and the Administrator may therefore have conflicts of interest in allocating management time, services and functions among the Company and such other group funds for which they provide services. However, at all times the Investment Manager and Administrator will endeavor to reach a fair and equitable allocation of their management time, services, functions and investment opportunities between the Company and any other such funds they provide services to. By acquiring Shares in the Company, each investor will be deemed to have acknowledged the existence of actual or potential conflicts of interest discussed above and to have waived any claim with respect to the existence of any such conflict of interest.

32

TAXATION

Introduction This summary of the principal tax consequences applicable to the Company and its Shareholders is based upon advice received from the Company's Cayman Islands and U.S. legal and tax advisors. Such advice is based upon factual representations made by the Investment Manager and the Administrator concerning the proposed conduct of the activities to be carried out on behalf of the Company by them in the Cayman Islands, in the U.S. and other parts of the world. The conclusions summarized herein could be adversely affected if any of the material actual representations on which they are based should prove to be inaccurate. Moreover, while this summary is considered to be a correct interpretation of existing laws in force on the date of this Prospectus, no assurance can be given that courts or fiscal authorities responsible for the administration of such laws will agree with such interpretation or that changes in such laws will not occur. The Company

Cayman Islands Taxation. The Company is not subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands (although it may be subjected to stamp duty on certain documents brought into or produced before a court in or executed in the Cayman Islands). There are currently no Cayman Islands corporation taxes. The Company is required is to pay the applicable Cayman Islands annual registration fee payable to the Cayman Islands government under the Companies Law (Revised) which is currently approximately U.S.$574 and an annual registration fee payable in respect of the registration of the Company under the Mutual Funds Law which is currently U.S.$3,049. There is at present, no direct taxation in the Cayman Islands and interest, dividends and gains payable to the Company will be received free of all Cayman Island taxes. The Company is an exempted company under Cayman Islands law and the Company has obtained a Tax Concessions Certificate from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands for an undertaking dated September 4, 2001 as to tax concessions pursuant to Section 6(3) of the Tax Concessions Law (Revised) which provides that, for a period of 20 years, no law hereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to the Company or its operations and in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable on or in respect of the Shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company or by way of the withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined in Section 6 (3) of the Tax Concessions Law (Revised). U.S. Federal Income Taxation. The Company has been advised that it should not be subject to U.S. Federal income taxes on any U.S. source income or gains from its trading (except in respect of any dividends received in the course of such trading which would be subject to a thirty percent (30%) withholding tax), provided that it does not engage in a trade or business within the U.S. to which such income or gains are effectively connected. Pursuant to a safe harbor under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a non-U.S. corporation which trades stock or securities for its own account should not be treated as engaged in a trade or business within the U.S. provided that the non-U.S. corporation is not a dealer in stock or securities. The Company intends to conduct its business in a manner so as to meet the requirements of the safe harbor. If the activities of the Company were not covered by the foregoing safe harbor, there would be a risk that the Company (but not any investor) would be required to file a U.S. Federal income tax return for such year and pay tax at full U.S. corporate income tax rates as well as an additional thirty percent (30%) branch profits tax.

33

The Company should not be subject to U.S. Federal income or withholding tax on U.S. source interest income (other than in the case of certain contingent interest or interest received from a borrower ten percent (10%) or more of the equity of which is owned by the Company, neither of which the Company anticipates receiving), provided that the Company is not engaged in a trade or business within the U.S. to which such interest income is effectively connected, and provided that the Company's interest-bearing securities qualify as registered obligations and that the Company periodically supplies an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or its equivalent. Other Jurisdictions. In jurisdictions other than the U.S., foreign taxes may be withheld at the source on dividend and interest income derived by the Company at rates ranging typically up to thirty (30%) percent. Capital gains derived by the Company in such jurisdictions may often be exempt from foreign income or withholding taxes at source, although the treatment of capital gains varies among jurisdictions. Changes in Law. All laws, including laws relating to taxation in the Cayman Islands and the United States (and in other jurisdictions as well), are subject to change without notice. Shareholders of the Company

Shareholders who are not otherwise subject to Cayman Islands or United States taxes by reason of their residence, domicile or other particular circumstances should not become subject to any such taxes by reason of the ownership, transfer or redemption of the Shares. Shareholders who are or may be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on their worldwide income should be aware of certain tax consequences of investing directly or indirectly in Shares and should be certain to consult with their own tax advisors in this regard. Dividend and redemption payments made by the Company to Shareholders who are not U.S. Persons should not be subject to U.S. Federal income tax, provided that Shares are not held in connection with a U.S. trade or business of the Shareholder in the year of receipt. Individual holders of Shares who are neither present or former U.S. citizens nor U.S. residents (as determined for U.S. estate and gift tax purposes) should not be subject to U.S. estate and gift taxes with respect to their ownership of such Shares. A Shareholder's change in status to a U.S. Person will result in adverse U.S. tax consequences, will constitute a violation of the terms of this Prospectus and will result in a compulsory redemption of Shares.

* * * * The foregoing summary does not address tax considerations, which may be applicable to certain Shareholders under the laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands or the U.S. The Company has no present plans to apply for any certifications or registrations, or to take any other actions under the laws of any jurisdictions, which would afford relief to local investors therein from the normal tax regime otherwise applicable to an investment in the Shares. It is the responsibility of all persons interested in purchasing the Shares to inform themselves as to any income or other tax consequences arising in the jurisdictions in which they are resident or domiciled for tax purposes, as well as any foreign exchange or other fiscal or legal restrictions, which are relevant to their particular circumstances in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Shares. The value of the Company's investments may also be affected by repatriation and exchange control regulations.

34

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") imposes certain requirements on "employee benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to ERISA, including entities such as collective investment funds and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, "ERISA Plans") and on those persons who are fiduciaries with respect to ERISA Plans. Investments by ERISA Plans are subject to ERISA's general fiduciary requirements, including the requirement of investment prudence and diversification and the requirement that an ERISA Plan's investments be made in accordance with the documents governing the plan. The prudence of a particular investment must be determined by the responsible fiduciary of an ERISA Plan by taking into account the ERISA Plan's particular circumstances, including the ERISA Plan's existing investment portfolio, and all of the facts and circumstances of the investment including, but not limited to, the matters discussed above under "RISK FACTORS."

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan (as well as those plans that are not subject to ERISA but which are subject to Section 4975 of the Code, such as individual retirement accounts (together with ERISA Plans, "Plans")) and certain persons (referred to as "parties in interest" for purposes of ERISA and "disqualified persons" for purposes of the Code) having certain relationships to such Plans, unless a statutory or administrative exemption is applicable to the transaction. A party in interest or disqualified person who engages in a nonexempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code, and the transaction might have to be rescinded.

The U.S. Department of Labor has promulgated a regulation, 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 (the "Plan Asset Regulation"), describing what constitutes the assets of a Plan with respect to the Plan's investment in an entity for purposes of certain provisions of ERISA, including the fiduciary responsibility and prohibited transaction provisions of Title I of ERISA and the related prohibited transaction provisions under Section 4975 of the Code. Under the Plan Asset Regulation, if a Plan invests in an "equity interest" of an entity that is neither a "publicly offered security" nor a security issued by an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act, the Plan's assets include both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the entity's underlying assets, unless it is established that the entity is an "operating company", which includes for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulation a "venture capital operating company", or that equity participation in the entity by "Benefit Plan Investors" (as defined below) is not "significant".

Under the Plan Asset Regulation, equity participation in an entity by Benefit Plan Investors (as defined below) is "significant" on any date if, immediately after the most recent acquisition of any equity interest in the entity, 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interests in the entity is held by Benefit Plan Investors. The term "Benefit Plan Investor" is defined in the Plan Asset Regulation as: (a) any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), whether or not it is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA; (b) any plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code; and (c) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of the investment in the entity by such employee benefit plan and/or plan. For purposes of this determination, the value of equity interests held by a person (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) that has discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of the entity or that provides investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to such assets (or any affiliate of any such person) is disregarded.

Shares in the Company should be considered to be an “equity interest” in the Company for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulation, and the Shares will not constitute “publicly offered securities” for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulation. In addition, the Company will not be registered under the Investment Company Act and is not expected to qualify as a “venture capital operating company.”

35

The Investment Manager intends to use commercially reasonable efforts to restrict transfers of any equity interest in the Company so that ownership of each class of shares in the Company by Benefit Plan Investors will remain below the 25% threshold contained in the Plan Asset Regulation. Although there can be no assurance that such will be the case, the assets of the Company should not constitute “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code.

If the assets of the Company were deemed to constitute the assets of a Plan, the fiduciary making an investment in the Company on behalf of an ERISA Plan could be deemed to have improperly delegated its asset management responsibility, the assets of the Company could be subject to ERISA’s reporting and disclosure requirements, and transactions involving the assets of the Company would be subject to the fiduciary responsibility and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the prohibited transaction rules of Section 4975 of the Code. Accordingly, certain transactions that the Company may enter into, or may have entered into, in the normal course of its operations might result in non-exempt prohibited transactions and might have to be rescinded. A party in interest or disqualified person that engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to nondeductible excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, such “plan asset” treatment would subject the calculation and payment of the Investment Manager’s fees to applicable prohibited transaction and certain conflict of interest provisions of ERISA and the Code. Consequently, if at any time the Investment Manager determines that assets of the Company may be deemed to be “plan assets” subject to ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, the Investment Manager may take certain actions it may determine to be necessary or appropriate, including requiring one or more investors to redeem otherwise dispose of all or part of their Shares in the Company or termination and liquidating the Company.

Each Plan fiduciary who is responsible for making the investment decisions whether to invest in the Company should determine whether, under the general fiduciary standards of investment prudence and diversification and under the documents and instruments governing the Plan, an investment in the Shares is appropriate for the Plan, taking into account the overall investment policy of the Plan and the composition of the Plan's investment portfolio. Any Plan proposing to invest in the Company should consult with its counsel to confirm that such investment will not result in a prohibited transaction and will satisfy the other requirements of ERISA and the Code.

The sale of any Shares to a Benefit Plan Investor is in no respect a representation by the Company or the Investment Manager and their affiliates or any other placement agent or arranger that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans generally or any particular Plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for Plans generally or any particular Plan.

Regardless of whether the assets of the Company are deemed to be "plan assets", the acquisition of Shares by a Plan could, depending upon the facts and circumstances of such acquisition, be a prohibited transaction, for example, if any of the Company or the Investment Manager and their affiliates were a party in interest or disqualified person with respect to the Plan. However, such a prohibited transaction may be treated as exempt under ERISA and the Code if the Shares were acquired pursuant to and in accordance with one or more "class exemptions" issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, such as the QPAM Exemption, Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving an insurance company pooled separate account), PTCE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving a bank collective investment fund), PTCE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving an insurance company general account), and PTCE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by an in-house asset manager).

Any insurance company proposing to invest assets of its general account in the Company should also consider the extent to which such investment would be subject to the requirements of ERISA in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. v. Harris Trust and Savings

36

Bank and under any subsequent legislation or other guidance that has or may become available relating to that decision, including Section 401(c) of ERISA and the regulations thereunder published by the U.S. Department of Labor in January, 2000.

The Investment Manager will require a fiduciary of an ERISA Plan that proposes to acquire Shares to represent that it has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies, strategies and limitations, fee structure and that the decision to acquire Shares was made in accordance with its fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA and that neither the Company, the Investment Manager, or any of their affiliates has provided investment advice with respect to such decision. The Investment Manager will also require any investor that is, or is acting on behalf of, a Plan to represent and warrant that its acquisition and holding of Shares will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code. Governmental plans and certain church plans, while not subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, may nevertheless be subject to state or other federal laws that are substantially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code. The Investment Manager will require similar representations and warranties with respect to the purchase of Shares by any such plan. Fiduciaries of such plans should consult with their counsel before purchasing any Shares. The discussion of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code contained in this Prospectus is, of necessity, general and does not purport to be complete. Moreover, the provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code are subject to extensive and continuing administrative and judicial interpretation and review. Therefore, the matters discussed above may be affected by future regulations, rulings and court decisions, some of which may have retroactive application and effect.

ANY POTENTIAL INVESTOR CONSIDERING AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY THAT IS, OR IS ACTING ON BEHALF OF, A PLAN (OR A GOVERNMENTAL PLAN SUBJECT TO LAWS SIMILAR TO ERISA AND/OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE) IS STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN LEGAL, TAX AND ERISA ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH AN INVESTMENT AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE THE REPRESENTATIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

ADDITIONAL AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Cayman Islands Mutual Funds Law The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 23, 2001, and will be registered in the Cayman Islands as a mutual fund, registered number CR-112415. The Company falls within the definition of a “mutual fund” in terms of the Mutual Funds Law and accordingly is regulated in terms of the Mutual Funds Law. However, the Company is not required to be licensed or to employ a licensed mutual fund administrator because the minimum interest purchasable by a prospective investor in the Company is equal to or exceeds U.S.$50,000 or its equivalent in any other currency. Accordingly, the obligations of the Company are (a) to register the Company with the Monetary Authority appointed in terms of the Mutual Funds Law (b) to file with the Monetary Authority prescribed details of this Prospectus and any changes to it (c) to file annually with the Monetary Authority accounts audited by an approved auditor and (d) to pay a prescribed registration fee and thereafter the annual fee currently approximately U.S.$3,049 per annum. As a regulated mutual fund the Company is subject to the supervision of the Monetary Authority and to have its accounts audited and filed with the Monetary Authority. In addition the Monetary Authority may

37

ask the Board to give the Monetary Authority such information or such explanation in respect of the Company as the Monetary Authority may reasonably require to enable him to carry out his duty under the Mutual Funds Law. The Board, if requested to do so, must give the Monetary Authority access to or provide at any reasonable time all records relating to the Company and the Monetary Authority may copy or take an extract of a record to which he is given access. Failure to comply with these requests by the Monetary Authority may result in substantial fines being imposed on the Board and may result in the Monetary Authority applying to the court to have the Company wound up. The Monetary Authority is prohibited by the Mutual Funds Law from disclosing any information relating to the affairs of a mutual fund other than disclosure required for the effective regulation of a mutual fund or when required to by law or by the court. The Monetary Authority may take certain actions if he is satisfied that a regulated mutual fund is or is likely to become unable to meet is obligations as they fall due or is carrying on or is attempting to carry on business or is winding up its business voluntarily in a manner that is prejudicial to its investors or creditors. The powers of the Monetary Authority include inter alia the power to require the substitution of the Board, to appoint a person to advise the Company on the proper conduct of its affairs or to appoint a person to assume control of the affairs of the Company. There are other remedies available to the Monetary Authority including the ability to apply to the court for approval of other actions. Proceeds of Criminal Conduct Law (Revised) as amended (“PCCL”) and The Money Laundering Regulations (Revised) (the "Regulations") As part of the Company’s responsibility for the prevention of money laundering, the Company, its agents, affiliates, subsidiaries or associates will require a detailed verification of each investor’s identity and the source of the payment. As a condition for subscription the Company and the Administrator require the completion and submission to the Administrator of the “Anti Money Laundering” letter attached to the Subscription Agreement. In the event of delay or failure by the investor to produce any information required for verification purposes, the Administrator will refuse to accept the application and the subscription monies relating thereto.

If any person who is resident in the Cayman Islands has a suspicion that a payment to the Company (by way of subscription or otherwise) contains the proceeds of criminal conduct that person is required to report such suspicion pursuant to The Proceeds of Criminal Conduct Law (Revised). By way of example, an individual may be required to produce a current (non-expired), legible copy of a passport or identification card containing a photo and date of birth. In the case of corporate applicants, this may require production of a certified copy of the certificates of incorporation (and any change of name), memorandum and articles of association (or the equivalent), the names, occupations, dates of birth and residential and business addresses of all directors. In the event of delay or failure by the applicant to produce any information required for verification purposes, the Administrator may refuse to accept the application and the subscription monies relating thereto or may refuse to process a redemption request until proper information has been provided.

Many jurisdictions are in the process of changing or creating anti-money laundering, embargo and trade sanctions, or similar laws, regulations, requirements (whether or not force of law) or regulatory policies and many financial intermediaries are in the process of changing or creating responsive disclosure and compliance policies (the “Requirements”) and the Company could be requested or required to obtain certain assurances from the investors subscribing for any Shares, disclose information pertaining to them to governmental, regulatory or other authorities or to financial intermediaries or engage in due diligence or take other related actions in the future. It is the Company’s policy to comply with the Requirements to which it is or may become subject and to interpret them broadly in favor of disclosure. Each investor will be required to agree in the Subscription Agreement, and will be deemed to have agreed by owning any Shares, that it will provide additional information or take such actions as may be necessary or advisable for the Company (in the Investment Manager’s sole judgment) to comply with any Requirements, related legal process or appropriate requests (whether formal or informal or otherwise). Each investor, by executing the Subscription Agreement, consents, and by owning any Shares is deemed to have consented, to disclosure by the Company and its agents to relevant third parties of information pertaining to it in respect of Requirements or information requests related thereto. Failure to honor any such request may result in compulsory redemption by the Company or the forced sale to another investor of such investor’s Shares. In addition, the Company and other related entities will comply with the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act and any other anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism and similar laws, rules and regulations and will disclose any information required or requested by authorities in connection therewith. Further Issues of Shares The Shares shall be at the disposal of the Board and the Company may, by resolution of the Board, at any time decide to offer further unissued Shares up to the amount of authorised share capital and, without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing Shares, to allot, issue, grant options over or otherwise dispose of the Shares or any other classes of Shares with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions, whether with regard to dividend, voting or otherwise and to such persons, at such times and on such other terms as the Board shall think proper, but not in a manner to reduce the financial rights of Shareholders without their consent.

Objects

The objects of the Company, as provided for in Clause 3 of the Company's Memorandum of Association, are unrestricted and the Company therefore has the full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the Companies Law (Revised) or any other law or public policy of the Cayman Islands.

The share premium received by way of subscriptions for Shares will be credited to the Company’s share premium account and will be included in the Net Asset Value. The share premium account may be used in any manner allowed under the Companies Law (Revised). Repurchase of Shares

Provided notice is given as described above, a Director or officer, notwithstanding his interest, may be counted in the quorum present at any meeting and he may vote on any appointment or arrangement in which he is interested other than his own appointment or the arrangement of the terms thereof. The Directors shall each be entitled to such remuneration as may be voted to them by the Company in General Meeting and this may be in addition to such remuneration as may be payable under any other Article hereof. Such remuneration shall be deemed to accrue from day to day. A general notice that a Director or officer is a member of any specified firm or company, and is to be regarded as interested in all transactions with that firm or company, shall be a sufficient disclosure under the terms of the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association as regards such Director or officer and the said transactions, and after such general notice it shall not be necessary for such Director or officer to give a special notice relating to any particular transaction with that firm or company. Directors Powers

Save as provided in the Companies Law (Revised), as specifically set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association or as may be determined by the Shareholders from time to time by the passing of a special resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Board, who may pay all expenses incurred in setting up and registering the Company and may exercise all the powers of the Company.
