The Stornoway Recovery Fund's investment portfolio is comprised of debt, equities and other instruments of financially troubled companies. While the portfolio is heavily weighted towards debt investments, often these debt investments will be converted into equity through a restructuring process. Furthermore, often an investment's potential will only be realized after a corporate restructuring is completed which may take several years. Lastly, the Fund currently does not distribute income.
Given the above, an investment in the Fund should represent only a portion of an otherwise diversified investment portfolio, should be considered part of the equity or alternative asset portion of their investment portfolio, and is appropriate only for long term investors who are not reliant on their investment for current income. |

(1) We believe the risk to an investor is the permanent loss of capital. "Standard Deviation" captures both upward and downward flucuations in value; "downside deviation" only captures declines. As such, we believe the appropriate metric to measure risk is "downside deviation".
(2) "Sortino Ratio" is the amount of historical return for each unit of "downside deviation". In comparison, "Sharpe Ratio" is the amount of return for each unit of "standard deviation".
The indices listed above have been selected for purposes of comparing the level of risk of the Fund with widely-known, broad-based benchmarks.
