The Board of the Company, a closed-ended investment company listed on the Irish
Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the International Bulletin Board of

and low beta to global credit markets when measured over a market cycle. The

macro views on interest rate movements or spreads.
The Company has produced net returns of 13.08% from inception on 1 April 2007
through to 31 January 2008. After the issuance of Shares, a total of 82,790,071
