Trading Capital Holdings N.V. (the “Fund” or “TCH”) is a two-tier open-end investment company incorporated under
Netherlands Antilles law on November 26, 1969 (under its former name Mastodont Fund N.V.), with its statutory seat
in Willemstad, Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles, and registered in Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles, in the Commercial
Register of the Chamber of Commerce under number 5028. As a two-tier investment company, TCH (the upper tier)
operates through separately managed investment vehicles (the lower tiers), as explained below.
The Fund offers investors two classes of Shares, Class A Shares and Class B Shares. The Fund will establish and
maintain in its books separate portfolios in respect of each class of Shares (each class of Shares, a “Portfolio,”
and sometimes referred to as the “Class A Portfolio” and the “Class B Portfolio,” respectively) to which the assets
and liabilities and income and expenses attributable or allocated to each such class of Shares will be applied or
charged.
The general investment objective of the Fund is the realization of profit through active trading in financial
instruments and commodities, including currencies, debt and equities. This style is sometimes called macro/trading.
It is anticipated that such trading will involve a high level of leverage and the extensive use of derivatives both
for hedging and profit seeking. This is an aggressive financial style which involves higher than normal risks of
loss.
The Fund (with respect to each of the Portfolios) does not invest directly, but indirectly by investing in other
investment funds or investment companies, and may also invest in investment vehicles which are wholly owned by the
Fund (collectively, the “Sub-funds”). Generally each such Sub-fund is advised by a principal portfolio manager and
its team, allowing TCH to benefit from the diversity and experience of professional portfolio managers.
The Fund (with respect to each of the Portfolios) may invest globally and is not limited as to the countries and
regions in which it may invest through the Sub-funds or the amount of its assets which may be invested in a single
Sub-fund or investment company. Although the Sub-funds may have restrictions with respect to the types of securities
in which they invest or the percentage of their assets that may be invested in a particular security or type of
security, the Portfolios themselves do not have such restrictions. The Fund’s exposure with respect to its
investment in a particular Sub-fund is limited to the amount of such investment.
The investment activities of the Fund (with respect to each of the Portfolios) include a wide range of specialized
approaches and techniques used by the several portfolio managers, who are allowed to operate within their area of
expertise with minimal imposed limitations. The Fund does not supervise or control the decisions of the portfolio
managers, but adds or withdraws capital according to its investment strategies and its judgment of their performance.
The styles and techniques of the portfolio managers are frequently aggressive and carry special risks.
