fixed income strategies.

Our beliefs

RAM Long/Short Strategies

PHILOSOPHY:

• Capture persistent inefficiencies across European, Emerging and Global Equity Markets

• Invest using fundamentally-driven stock picking strategies, applied systematically

• A disciplined long-short investment approach aimed at generating alpha on the both long and short side, neutralized

with a book of indices

• A fixed allocation of Value, Momentum and Defensive strategies designed to avoid market timing and risk/style arbitrage

• A proprietary alpha engine based on uncorrelated alpha sources in terms of style and market capitalization segments

• Benefits from the potential of an all-cap approach with strong focus on market impact and liquidity risk

• Since 2005, we have built a quantitative investment methodology applied to the RAM European Equities Fund, capable

of delivering consistent alpha in the medium and long term.

• Since 2009 we have applied this methodology to capture opportunities both on the long and the short side, hedging our

market exposure.

• In 2011 we decided to adapt our Long/Short European Equities investment strategy into a transparent and liquid UCITS

structure under the new name of the RAM Long/Short European Equities Fund.

• In 2016 we leveraged this investment philosophy to create our Long/Short Global Equities strategy. The strategy follows

the same investment philosophy, applied to global developed equities.

Consistent alpha generation in all markets

Repeatable Outperformance

• At RAM we have built a systematic engine which sits at the very heart of our investment philosophy, taking an optimal blend of Value,

GARP/Momentum and Defensive sub-strategies

• A proprietary market impact model including volatility and liquidity metrics

• We apply our systematic approach to equity investing; not seeking to time the market, in a highly-disciplined approach across regions

Expansion

Slowdown

Contraction

Recovery

GARP/ Momentum

Typical best performing

strategy

In an environment of rising

volatility, our DEFENSIVE

strategy helps stabilize

portfolio returns

Naturally, following the initial

phase of the downturn, the

VALUE, then GARP sub-

strategies identify larger

stocks, turning increasingly

defensive

In the second phase, the

MOMENTUM sub-strategy

takes over, catching new

positive market trends

The first phase of the

recovery would see a

strong contribution of the

VALUE sub-strategy -

benefiting from a return to

quality and small/mid cap

effect

A blend of styles

The Strategies – Long Book

• A systematic bottom-up stock picking strategy

• Extensive research in the emerging and European markets space has led us to identify large

market inefficiencies that we aim to capture through three distinct strategies:

Value names with strong free cash

flow generation, superior

profitability relative to peers and a

high quality balance sheet.

Playing medium-term convergence

of each selected name to its

sector’s valuation.

Companies with a low risk profile

and high dividend and earnings

yield, with a bias to large-cap non-

cyclical stocks.

Low-volatility income selection

stabilizing the returns of the long

book.

High growth companies with

sustained earnings and price

momentum with a value bias.

Playing the continuation of

their divergence on the upside

from the universe.

Growth at Reasonable

To identify and capture inefficiencies

Focus on research

All our research have been inspired on a number of academic papers having identified persistent market inefficiencies:

Liquidity

R. Almgren, C.Thum, E. Hauptmann, and H. Li, 2005, Direct Estimation of Equity Market

Impact

Written in collaboration with Emmanuel Hauptmann, Fund Manager of

the RAM Systematic Equity Fund Range, this paper is illustrative of

our ongoing work to control costs and reduce the liquidity risk of our

holdings.

Value

E. F. Fama, K. R. French, 2011, Size, Value, and Momentum in International Stock Returns

Foundation paper on the Value and Momentum inefficiency blends,

concept we apply at RAM across a number of our systematic

investment philosophies.

J. Boudoukh, R. Michaely, M. Richardson, M. R. Roberts, 2003, On The Importance of

Measuring Payout Yield: Implications for Empirical Asset Pricing

Strong evidence of the Shareholder Yield inefficiency captured

through our global Shareholder Yield approach, differentiating from

traditional income funds.

Momentum

N. Jegadeesh, J. Kim, S. D. Krische, C. M. C. Lee, 2002, Analyzing the analysts: When do

recommendations add value?

A pivotal research that analyze sell-side analysts recommendations

and how the change in the consensus is a robust return predictor,

inspiration for some of our Analyst sentiment momentum factors.

Quality

D. Hirshleifer, K. Hou, S. Hong Teoh , 2010, The Accrual Anomaly: Risk Or Mispricing?

The paper illustrates the Accruals anomaly which we exploit in some of

our Short selection strategies.

M. D. Beneish, D. C. Nichols, 2007, The Predictable Cost of Earnings Manipulation

This paper on US Earnings overstatement inspired the RAM

Systematic Equity team research in Emerging Markets leading to the

development of a Short Overstated Earnings philosophy.

Low-Risk

Frazzini, L. Heje Pedersen, 2011, Betting against Beta

Low-volatility and low-beta stocks tend to have significantly higher risk-

adjusted returns than predicted by efficient markets’ hypothesis, which

we capture in a number of our Defensive strategies.

An ethical approach to investing with RAM

Incorporation of ESG Issues

As an UNPRI Signatory, RAM defined an SRI policy for responsible investment setting out the investment beliefs, the guidelines, and the

approach for us to consider and incorporate corporate governance, environmental, and social factors into our investment process and

strategies.

Analyse & Incorporate Exclude

Screening criteria are applied through a

systematic monitoring of companies to identify

holdings for further assessment, engagement,

and/or exclusion, focusing mainly on the

following:

• Illegal or controversial weapons

• Suspected of accounting fraud

• Disregard international norms for labor rights

• Violate human rights

• Environmental damage

• Exposed to sanctions; OFAC list

Analyze and incorporate ESG Data and Metrics:

• Introduction of an ESG specific strategy,

called the RAM Responsible Income

Equities Fund.

• Strong Governance integration aiming at

identifying quality names looking at sound

accounting and board practices.

• RAM analyzes climate data to filter out

stocks with excessive carbon footprint from

some its EM fund investment universe.

• Alignment of interest between sustainability

of the company and the sustainability of its

shareholders

Engage

Engage collaboratively with companies and

exercise active shareholder stewardship:

• RAM directly engages and participates in in

collaborative engagement with companies.

• RAM applies a voting policy to the full range

of its Funds to which RAM acts as

investment manager or delegated

investment manager.

The building blocks of our philosophy

Investment Process

Our entire equity fund range is built on a systematic investment process that seeks to perform throughout different market

cycles with, at its core, an Alpha Engine.

Value Added

~ 6’000 stocks reduced to

~ 1’500 stocks

Proprietary Alpha Model Impact Model Portfolio

We screen a large

universe of more than

6’000 stocks in developed

Europe and above 30’000

in emerging markets and

over 50’000 in the

developed world

Data is screened so that

only stocks with set

liquidity profiles and

capitalizations are

selected.

The universe is reduced

to 3’500 stocks in EM and

to 1’500 in developed

Europe, and 6’000 in the

dev. world.

Alpha Engines

Through the underlying strategies, our model is well balanced between

fundamental and behavioral approaches with minimal

correlation.

Impact model including

volatility and liquidity

metrics (measured over

the last few weeks of

trading) helps scale

fund. For the short book, performance is estimates. Performance is gross of management and performance fee. Client’s return will be reduced by such fees in case of investment in such

strategies.

Very few managers can generate alpha on the short side, sellers

face important issues such as ability to borrow, execution impact,

capacity limitations, etc

Our short book has been constructed to:

• Generate strong alpha within its book

of short stocks (35% of the short side)

• Control risk with its basket of index

(i.e.. limiting risk in case of

deleveraging) and maintain a neutral

Important Information

Long/Short Global Equities

These presentation materials (collectively, this "Presentation") have been provided in order to provide a high-level overview of RAM Active

Investments SA (the "Investment Manager"), certain of its operational and advisory programs and processes, and certain of its key personnel.

This Presentation is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any securities in any

mutual fund (the “Fund”) that offers the Long/Short Global Equities investment strategy (the “Strategy”), and may not be relied upon in connection

with any offer or sale of securities. Any such offer or solicitation may only be made pursuant to a Prospectus (or similar document) and the

organizational documents for such Fund (e.g. limited partnership agreements, articles of association, etc.), which will be provided only to

qualified/institutional offerees and which should be carefully reviewed prior to investing.

An investment in the Strategy is speculative and entails substantial risks, including the fact that such an investment would be illiquid and be subject

to significant restrictions on transferability. No market is expected to develop for interests in the Fund.

Financial instruments and investment opportunities discussed or referenced herein may not be suitable for all investors, and potential investors

must make an independent assessment of the appropriateness of any transaction in light of their own objectives and circumstances, including the

possible risk and benefits of entering into such a transaction.

A number of indices are referenced herein. Each index is presented because RAM feels that it serves as a useful point of comparison with aspects of

the Fund's portfolio management and composition. The Fund's portfolio will not replicate any of these indices and no guarantee is given that

performance will match any of the indices; it is not possible to invest in any index.

Important Information

Long/Short Global Equities

There are significant differences between the Strategy's investments and the indices references below (the "Indices"). For instance, the Strategy

may use short sales and leverage and may invest in securities that have a greater degree of risk and volatility, as well as less liquidity, than those

securities contained in the Indices. Moreover, the Indices may not reflect the reinvestment of income or dividends and may not be subject to any of

the management fees or expenses that the Fund must pay. It should not be assumed that the Fund will invest in any specific securities that comprise

the Indices, nor should it be understood to mean that there is a correlation between the Fund's returns and the Indices' performance. The Indices are

included for informational purposes only.

Additional information on each index follows:

• The MSCI Europe Total Return Net Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity

market performance of the developed markets in Europe. The MSCI Europe Index consists of the following 16 developed market country indices:

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and

the United Kingdom

• The MSCI Emerging Markets Total Return Net Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index of the performance of the global

emerging markets reflects. It approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding

tax, applying the rate to non-resident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. MSCI uses withholding tax rates applicable to

Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates.

• The MSCI World Total Return Net Index measures the performance of large and mid cap stocks across 23 developed markets countries covering

approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of each country. The index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and

unbiased barometer and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure all countries and their stocks are included on merit, and thus do not distort

the performance and characteristics of the opportunity set.

• The MSCI ACWI Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of

developed and emerging markets. The MSCI ACWI consists of 44 country indices comprising 23 developed and 21 emerging market country indices.

The developed market country indices included are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland,

Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The emerging market country indices included are: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea,

Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.

Dislcaimer: Theoretical Performances

Important Note

THE THEORETICAL MODELS PRESENTED HEREIN ARE BASED ON A NUMBER OF HYPOTHETICAL ASSUMPTIONS, INCLUDING THE

PERFORMANCE OF STOCKS WITH MARKET CAPITALIZATION ABOVE U.S.$500Mn AND A DEFINED LIQUIDUTY THRESHOLD BASED ON

A 10-DAY AVERAGE DAILY VOLUME. THEY ARE PRESENTED ONLY FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSE OF PROVIDING SAMPLE

ILLUSTRATIONS. CHANGES IN THESE ASSUMPTIONS MAY HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE BACKTESTED RETURNS PRESENTED.

CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR MODELING PURPOSES AND ARE UNLIKELY TO BE REALIZED. NO

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ARE MADE AS TO THE REASONABLENESS OF THE ASSUMPTIONS. THE THEORETICAL

MODELS ARE NOT REFLECTIVE OF AN ACTUAL STRATEGY OFFERED TO INVESTORS AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO REPRESENT

WHAT THE STRATEGY WOULD HAVE EARNED OVER THE SAME PERIOD HAD THE STRATEGY BEEN IN OPERATION. THE ACTUAL

RETURNS OF ANY STRATEGY ARE LIKELY TO HAVE NO CORRELATION WITH THE THEORETICAL MODELS PRESENTED HEREIN.

The Manager calculated the theoretical performance of the Long/Short Global Equities Backtest using the following methodology:

Backtest Peformance:

Performance results created by applying an investment strategy or methodology to historical data from December 2005 to June 2016. Backtested

performance attempts to indicate how a product constructed with the benefit of hindsight would have performed during a certain period in the past if

the product had been in existence during such time.

The Manager calculated the hypothetical performance data of the Long/Short Global Equities Backtest using the following methodology:

The model backtest has been extracted for the long side using separate stock selection engines able to analyze and select stocks among a

universe of over 6’000 names globally. Each strategy has unique characteristics which it uses to identify and capture pre-defined inefficiencies

using Factset Fundamentals database. On the long side we consider different strategies with a fixed allocation summing up to 100% of the

exposure, and on the short side, a combination of short strategies representing -60% of the exposure and an short allocation to the MSCI World

TRN$ Index which is adjusted to neutralize the portfolio’s beta. A filter has been applied by excluding the following subsets:

1- Small Caps <$500 Mn and unassigned stocks

2- a defined liquidity threshold based on a 10-day Average Daily Volume

Performance presented includes management fees of (1.5%), performance fees of (15%), administrative fees and custodian fees. Transactions

costs, tax and slippage have been estimated based on the level reached by the RAM (Lux) Systematic Funds- Long/Short European Equities in

2015 and according to the investment manager’s experience.

Dislcaimer on Theoretical performance

Important Note

Theoretical Models including Backtesting

The Theoretical Models provided herein may materially differ from what the Strategy's actual performance would have been. This is

due to a number of factors, including the inherent limitations that would have existed if the Investment Manager had managed the

Strategy. Such limitations may include, but are not limited to, the inaccuracy of data available for the research process, the fact that

the signals which drive the models can lose efficiency when applied in live markets, the inability to account for how RAM personnel

would have actually traded on a real time basis in a live market. Alternative assumptions which may be relied on in the future could

produce significantly different results. The hypothetical results do not represent actual trading and may not reflect the impact that

material economic and market conditions could have on the Investment Manager's decision making had this been an actual

investment portfolio. Further, backtesting allows the security selection methodology to be adjusted until past returns are maximized.

The model returns provided herein assume the reinvestment of all hypothetical dividends and income. In addition, the actual returns

of the Fund will differ from model returns as the actual returns will be subject to different advisory fees or allocations,

administration fees and estimated organizational expenses, additional transaction costs, ongoing expenses and other

expenses. These eventual additional fees and expenses, compounded over a period of years, would result in lower performance

results. No cash balance or cash flow is included in the calculation.

RAM Long/Short European Equities Strategy shows performance net of fee of the RAM L/S European Equities Fund Class-I from December 2011 (1.5% of

management fee+20% of performance fee) and of the RAM Absolute Return Fund prior to December 2011. The RAM Absolute Return Fund followed the same exact

investment strategy within a Cayman vehicle (1.75% of Management fee+20% of performance fee) before it was converted to a UCITS.

RAM Long/Short Global Equities Backtest has a

higher volatility, but subsequently higher returns

The performance of the RAM Long/Short Global Equities Backtest is net of 1.5% management fee

and 15% of performance fee (net of implementation cost). The allocation shown here RAM L/S

EE+RAM L/S Global Eq is a simulated equally-weighted portfolio combining the RAM Long/Short

Global Equities Backtest net of fee and the actual performance from April 2009 to June 2016 of the

RAM LS EE Fund Strategy net of fee.

Based on a backtest, RAM

Long/Short Global Equities Backtest

and RAM Long/Short European

Equities Backtest are lowly

correlated. Hence a simulated

equally weighted portfolio combining

both strategies could improve the

risk/return profile of an investment.
