Systematic Risk Framework ATORUS
Designed to provide return consistency and mitigate downside variance
in both high and low realized volatility environments
Positions are sized relative to their current realized volatLity.
• • •
Higher volatility yielding asset have lower notional
exposures
Realized volatility recalculated daily and positions are
resized dependent upon threshold changes to target
consistent portfolio variance
Max notional exposures defined systematically by asset
class
• At defined NAV drawdown thresholds overall portfolio risk is
systematically reduced
Daily monitoring of realized volatility within a quantitatNe nsk framework reduces portfoto vo'aulity

EFTA01157282
Systematic Risk Framework (continued) ATORUS
Multiple market risk monitoring tools are continuously Implemented
• Orders subject to detailed automated review and human
Order confirmation before submission
Management
• Automatic monitoring of active orders for execution
efficiency
• In house trade reconciliation and shadow record keepiig
Position Level
for oontrols aganst administrator! prime broker errors
Risk Review
• Automated posibon by position risk management ncluding
potential for news and event risk assuring balance and
diversity to prevent outsized single event exposure risk
• Portfolio is stressed to be liquid within one day with
minimal to no market impact
Risk Committee Software tools and alerts to allow human review of risks
Oversight Independent Y party parametric VAR model run daily
Risk committee established to provide oversight at
assigned thresholds (e.g. -2% one day drop, single
position > 10% of NAV. exposure to a single nation > 25%)

Operational Risk Management RU S
Operational risks are monitored, identified and remedied on a real-time
continual basis
• COS rates of bi-ateral creel oaunterpanies monitored daily
Identify and
• Estimated 75% of trades are exchange cleared Analyze
• Multiple Prime Broker relationships for redundancy and
informational security
• Transactions reconciled internally and with Prime Brokers on a
daily basis Implement
Techniques
