1.3 Target Market Market Overview Around one-fifth of global merchandise trade is in natural resources. Fuels, of which two-thirds of world output is traded across international borders, are the largest element. 21 countries have more than 80% of their exports in natural resources, and for 9 of these countries resource exports are more than 50% GDP. It is also crucial for importers who may have no local supply, and for whom resources are an essential input to their economies. For the world economy as a whole resource price variations are both a barometer and a determinant of macro-economic performance. Trade in natural resources has a number of features that make it distinctive. Uneven geographical distribution of resources means that some countries are dominated by resource production, while others have none; more than 90% of proven oil reserves are in just 15 countries for example. Exhaustible resources may carry large rents, and the division of these rents between producers and consumers is contentious. Trade often occurs on organised commodity exchanges and involves both spot and futures transactions. Prices that come out of these exchanges can be volatile, a major source of disruption in the world economy and an opportunity for arbitrage gains. The share of natural resources in world trade increased dramatically between 1900 and 1955 and then declined for several decades before increasing again. A number of factors contributed to the long run expansion of resources trade, including industrialisation, population growth and falling transportation costs. Some of the variation comes from the fact that natural resources may be exported in their raw form or embodied in manufactured goods. However, much of the variation, in particular from the 1970's on, is
- 6 -
accounted for by fluctuations in commodity prices, especially of oil. In the ten years that preceded the global financial crisis, the dollar value of world exports of natural resources increased more than six fold, reaching 3.7 trillion US dollars in 2008, before falling back. Fuel represents the lion's share of total would resource exports, reaching 2.9 trillion US dollars in 2008. In the same year trade in other extractive resources, such as ores and other minerals and non-ferrous metals, was 360 billion US dollars. The value of trade of other resources such as fish and forestry, while more limited, has also increased over time, reaching respectively 98 and 106 billion US dollars in 2008. The leading exports of natural resources are the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Canada, European Union, United States, Norway, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Iran, Kuwait, Venezuela, Algeria, Nigeria, Singapore and Angola. Whilst this group includes both advanced economies such as Canada and the US and less developed countries such as Angola and Venezuela, there is a distinctive feature that separates the advanced and developing exporters. Within the latter group, resource sectors often have a dominant position. For the Middle East, Africa, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), resources represent a share of total merchandise exports of 74, 73 and 70% respectively, whilst for North America, Asia and Europe this proportion is below 20%. Natural resource trade has taken place at prices which have undergone long periods of secular decline, followed by abrupt spikes and periods of high volatility. Reasons for the long run decline are low income elasticities for some commodities, food in particular. The picture is now very different, with growing demand from emerging markets reversing earlier price falls. Volatility has reached new highs across fuels, minerals and agriculture commodities. For instance, fuel prices jumped 234% between 2003-2008, while mining products and food rose 178 and 120% respectively. While the causes of volatility are not necessarily international, the supply side of the market is complicated by many factors including supplier's monopoly power, and the fact that oil and other natural resources are non-renewable assets. Price contains a large element of rent and is not anchored by unit production costs. Supply decisions depend partly on the technology of installed capacity - how much can be mined, pumped or grown given the capital stock of the sector - and also on asset holding decisions. Long run decisions on depletion rates lead to the Hotelling rule, that in competitive equilibrium the rent element of price will rise at the rate of interest; the level of price is such that cumulative demand leads to its eventual complete depletion. Short-run decisions depend on the extent to which the asset can be stored underground or in above-ground inventories, and on the relationship between current prices and future prices. This in turn is a relationship between trade on the spot market (trade in physical good) and in futures markets (trade in financial assets). Low elasticity of demand and increasingly restrained supply caused by natural limitation factors combined with the volatility makes for multiple ways that the fund is able to capitalise and profit from the natural resources sector. 1.4 Financial Plan Sales Forecast

1.5 Investment Restrictions The general restrictions on the investment activities of the Company are set out in the AIGO LP. The
specific investment restrictions for the Fund are outlined below. The Fund will be subject to the following investment restrictions:
(i) The Investment Manager will ensure that the Fund will only invest into Natural Resources
projects or instruments that hold natural resources interests as stipulated in the .
(ii) The Investment Manager will ensure that the Fund will not write any options;
(iii) The Investment Manager will ensure that the Fund will not take naked short positions;
and
(iv) The Company will be able to borrow and pledge its assets as security for borrowings. Where any restriction has been breached, the Investment Manager will take immediate corrective action
as soon as the Investment Manager becomes aware of such breach, except where the limit is exceeded
due to appreciations or depreciations, changes in exchange rates, or by reason of the receipt of rights,
bonuses, benefits in the nature of capital or by reason of any other action affecting every holder of that
investment. 2. RISK FACTORS All securities investments risk the loss of capital. While the Investment Manager will devote its best
efforts to the management of the Fund, there can be no assurance that the Fund will not incur losses.
Returns generated from the investments of the Fund may not adequately compensate Shareholders for
the business and financial risks assumed. An investor should be aware that it may lose all or part of its
investment in a Fund. Many unforeseeable events, including actions by various government agencies and
domestic and international economic and political developments, may cause sharp market
fluctuations which could adversely affect the Funds' portfolios and performance. 2.1 Convertible Securities Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or other securities that may be
converted into or exchanged for a specified amount of common stock of the same or different issuer
within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. A convertible security entitles the
holder to receive interest that is generally paid or accrued on debt or a dividend that is paid or accrued on
preferred stock until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged.
Convertible securities have unique investment characteristics in that they generally (i) have higher yields
than common stocks, but lower yields than comparable non-convertible securities; (ii) are less
subject to fluctuation in value than the underlying common stock due to their fixed-income
characteristics and (iii) provide the potential for capital appreciation if the market price of the
underlying common stock increases. The value of a convertible security is a function of its "investment value" (determined by its yield in
comparison with the yields of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a
- 9 -
conversion privilege) and its "conversion value" (the security's worth, at market value, if converted
into the underlying common stock). The investment value of a convertible security is influenced by
changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as
interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors may also have an effect on the
convertible securities investment value. The conversion value of a convertible security is determined by
the market price of the underlying common stock. If the conversion value is low relative to the
investment value, the price of the convertible security is governed principally by its investment value.
To the extent the market price of the underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion
price, the price of the convertible security will be increasingly influenced by its conversion value. A
convertible security generally will sell at a premium over its conversion value by the extent to which
investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding a fixed-income
security. Generally, the amount of the premium decreases as the convertible security approaches
maturity. A convertible security may be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a price established
in the convertible security's governing instrument. If a convertible security held by a Fund is called for
redemption, that Fund will be required to permit the issuer to redeem the security, convert it into the
underlying common stock or sell it to a third party. Any of these actions could have an adverse effect on
a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The following section outlines some of the risks
specifically relevant to a strategy for investing in Convertible Bonds. Default Risk. Default risk is the principal risk that an investor faces. This arises when the company does
not make timely and/or complete re-payment of its obligations. Liquidity Risk. The Funds may invest in securities for which no liquid market exists. The market prices, if
any, for such securities tend to be volatile and may not be readily ascertainable and the Fund may not
be able to sell them when it desires to do so or to realize what it perceives to be their fair value in the
event of a sale. The sale of restricted and illiquid securities often requires more time and results in higher
brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of securities
eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. The Fund may
not be able to readily dispose of such illiquid investments and, in some cases, may be contractually
prohibited from disposing of such investments for a specified period of time. In addition, in certain
circumstances, governmental or regulatory approvals may be required for the Fund to dispose of
an investment. Restricted securities may sell at a price lower than similar securities that are not
subject to restrictions on resale. Leverage and Financing Risk. The capital of the Fund may be leveraged because the Investment
Manager believes that the use of leverage may enable the Fund to achieve a higher rate of return.
Accordingly, the Fund pledges its securities in order to borrow additional funds for investment purposes.
While leverage presents opportunities for increasing the total return of the Fund, it has the effect of
potentially increasing losses as well. Accordingly, any event which adversely affects the value of an
investment by Fund would be magnified to the extent the Fund is leveraged. The cumulative effect
of the use of leverage by the Fund in a market that moves adversely to the Fund’s investments could
result in a substantial loss which would be greater than if the Fund were not leveraged. Country Risk As the Company will invest in assets in the UK, the geographical exposure of the
- 10 -
portfolio may tend be concentrated. In particular, the portfolio will be exposed to adverse events
Political, Economic or Financial events in such countries. The value of the investments could therefore
decline as a result of economic developments such as poor or negative economic growth, poor balance
of payments data, high interest rates or rising inflation. The foregoing list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the
risks involved in an investment in the Fund. Prospective investors should read this entire Supplement
to the Listing Particulars of AIGO HOLDINGS PCC, the AIGO LP and the memorandum and articles of
association of the Company, as amended from time to time, and consult with their own advisors
before deciding whether to invest in the Fund.

such Cell Shares is GBP 50,000 or such lesser amount as the Directors may in any particular case
- 11 -
determine.
Ineligible Applicants
The Application Form requires each prospective applicant for Cell Shares to represent and warrant to
the Company that, among other things, it is able to acquire and hold Cell Shares without violating
applicable laws. Shares may not be offered, issued or transferred to any person in circumstances which, in the opinion of
the Directors, might result in any Cell or the Company incurring any liability to taxation or suffering any
other pecuniary disadvantage which any Cell or the Company might not otherwise incur or suffer, or
would result in the Cells or the Company being required to register under any applicable US securities
laws. Cell Shares may not be issued or transferred to any US Person, except that the Directors may authorise
the issue or transfer of Cell Shares to or for the account of a US Person provided that:
(a) such US Person is a US Tax-Exempt Investor which certifies that it is an “accredited investor” and
a “qualified purchaser”, in each case as defined under US federal securities laws;
(b) such issue or transfer does not result in a violation of the 1933 Act or the securities
laws of any of the states of the United States;
(c) such issue or transfer will not require the Company to register under the 1940 Act or to file a
prospectus with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the US National Futures
Association pursuant to regulations under the CEA;
(d) such issue or transfer will not cause any assets of the Company to be “plan assets” for the
purposes of ERISA; and
(e) such issue or transfer will not result in any adverse regulatory or tax consequences to the
Company or its Shareholders as a whole. Each applicant for, and transferee of, Cell Shares who is a US Person and a US Tax- Exempt Investor
will be required to provide such representations, warranties or documentation as may be required
by the Directors to ensure that these requirements are met prior to the issue or the registration of any
transfer of Cell Shares. If a transferee is not already a Shareholder, it will be required to complete the
appropriate application form. The payment for any subscription of Cell Shares must be made in British Pound Sterling by telegraphic
transfer in accordance with the instructions specified in the relevant to the Listing Particulars of AIGO
HOLDINGS PCC. Payment will be considered to have been validly received if irrevocable transfer instructions have
been given to the subscriber's bank such that payment is received not later than 5.00 p.m. (Mauritian
time) on the Closing Date of the relevant offering (or the Valuation Day immediately preceding the
relevant Dealing Day, as the case may be). All bank charges incurred in respect of a telegraphic transfer shall be borne by the applicant.
3.2 Redemptions
- 12 -
Shareholders may request a redemption of Cell Shares, on ten days’ prior written notice to the
Administrator, as of the last Business Day of each calendar month throughout the term of the Company
(each a “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price per Cell Share equal to the Net Asset Value per Cell
Share of the relevant class as at the immediately preceding Valuation Day. If in connection with any Redemption Date the Company receives redemption requests in relation to a
particular Cell that in the aggregate exceed 10% of the outstanding Shares in that Cell (excluding
shares representing Special Situation investments) as of such Redemption Date, the Company may
reduce all such requests pro rata based on the amounts of such requests so that only 10% (or more, in
the sole discretion of the Directors) of outstanding Shares (excluding shares representing Special
Situation Investments) are redeemed on such Redemption Date (the "Gate"). Any unsatisfied redemption requests, or portions thereof, will remain at risk in the relevant Cell and
will be satisfied as of the next Redemption Date, subject to any application of the Gate on such
Redemption Date and, if necessary, subsequent Redemption Dates, in each case subject to the
application of the Gate; provided that any redemption request that is not fully satisfied on any Redemption
Date shall have priority over any subsequent redemption requests in relation to the following Redemption
Date. Redemption requests must be made by completion of a redemption notice in the form provided by the
Cell or as otherwise approved by the Directors. Redemption requests are irrevocable unless the
Directors have declared a suspension of calculation of the Net Asset Value. If redemption would cause
the value of the Cell Shares held by a Shareholder to fall below GBP 50,000, then the Directors
have the right to require the compulsory redemption of all Cell Shares held by such Shareholder. Redemption requests may be submitted by fax to the Administrator at fax number
+(230) 4663264 . Attn: the Investor Relations Department provided that:
(a) the original signed redemption request is received by the Administrator prior to the
Redemption Date; and (b) the investor receives written confirmation from the Administrator that the faxed redemption
request has been received. The Administrator will confirm in writing within 5 Business Days of receipt all faxed redemption
requests which are received in good order. Investors failing to receive such written confirmation from the
Administrator within 5 Business Days should contact the Investor Relations Department at the
Administrator at telephone number ++(230) 466 0381 or fax number ++(230) 4663264 to obtain the
same. Failure to receive such written confirmation will render faxed instructions void.
Settlement of redemptions will generally take place within thirty (30) days after the Redemption Date,
although, in the case of a redemption of a Shareholder's entire holding of Cell Shares, the Directors
reserve the right to retain up to ten percent (10%) of the settlement proceeds until after completion of
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.
In circumstances where a Cell is unable to liquidate securities positions in an orderly manner in order to
- 13 -
Cell redemptions or where the value of the assets and liabilities of a Cell cannot reasonably be
determined, the Directors may extend such thirty (30) day settlement period to effect settlements of
redemptions or it may even suspend redemptions. The Directors may in their discretion settle
redemptions 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 Cell 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. The Company may, in the absolute discretion of the Directors, refuse to make a payment of
redemption proceeds if the Directors suspect or are advised that such payment may result in a breach
or violation of any anti-money laundering law in any jurisdiction, or such refusal is necessary to ensure
the compliance by the Company, the Directors or the Administrator with any anti-money laundering law in
any relevant jurisdiction. Net Asset Value determinations are based on the market value of the assets of a particular Cell as
of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the relevant Redemption Date, after deducting all
accrued debts and liabilities of the Cells, including any contingencies for which reserves are
determined to be required. Such deductions will include all fees earned but not yet paid. The Board shall also have the right to require the compulsory redemption of Cell Shares held by a
Shareholder, as set out in the IM. 3.3 Anti-Money Laundering - Mauritius As part of the Company's responsibility for the prevention of money laundering, the Company will
require a detailed verification of the applicant’s identity and the source of the payment. Full details of the
information required from each investor are set out in the AIGO LP.
3.4 Valuation Determination of Net Asset Values and Possible Suspensions The Administrator will calculate the Net Asset Value under the overall supervision of the Board and, where
necessary, will consult with the Investment Manager. Details of the valuation methodology are set out in
the AIGO LP. The Directors are empowered temporarily to suspend the calculation of the Net Asset Value of the
Fund which will automatically lead to the suspension of subscriptions and redemptions for Shareholders
of the Fund and may do so in any events set out under the heading Suspension of the Issue of Shares
in the AIGO LP. No issue or redemption of Shares will take place during any period when the calculation
of the Net Asset Value is suspended. The Directors will take all reasonable steps to bring any period of
suspension to an end as soon as possible. 3.5 Transfer of Participating Shares The Shares are freely transferable subject to the provisions of the Articles. The Directors may only refuse
- 14 -
