Fund Commentary

For the year ended January 31, 2023

(Unaudited)

The Aetos Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) allocates its assets among a select group of investment managers (“Mangers”) that utilize a variety of arbitrage strategies while seeking to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes.

The Fund includes allocations to event arbitrage, fixed income arbitrage, and convertible arbitrage strategies. Event arbitrage Managers seek to identify mispricings in securities that will be resolved through an anticipated event, which can include mergers, acquisitions, spinoffs, recapitalizations and bankruptcies (either entering into or emerging from them). Fixed income arbitrage Managers seek to identify discrepancies in the prices of securities that are very closely related and arbitrage that discrepancy. Convertible arbitrage Managers seek to capture options mispricings imbedded in convertibles, typically by investing in convertibles and hedging out equity exposure.

For the year ended January 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of +3.86%.¹ For the period from commencement of investment activities on September 1, 2002 through January 31, 2023, the Fund had an annualized return of +4.38%.

The Fund delivered positive performance for the period with all strategies generating profits.

Merger arbitrage delivered gains despite a sharp decrease in deal activity compared to a year ago. Significant contributions came from transactions that closed during the year. Notable winners included a technology deal that closed despite attempts by the buyer to terminate the acquisition and a healthcare deal that closed after the US unsuccessfully sued to block the merger on antitrust concerns.

Convertible arbitrage also delivered gains despite a challenging environment for convertibles. One of our Managers, running a more eclectic strategy, benefited from a diversified set of traditional convertible arbitrage trades and a tactical approach to harvesting risk premia. In addition, meaningful gains came from an energy issuer who tendered for its warrants.

Fixed income arbitrage strategies also generated profits, especially during the fourth quarter when dislocations in the long end of the UK yield curve caused by former PM Truss’ mini-budget normalized; meanwhile, dislocations in the long end of the European yield curve also began to revert, benefiting our Manager’s positions. Elsewhere, structured credit and emerging market arbitrage positions added to performance.

In event-oriented equities, long positions in Europe including a paper producer and a utility with significant renewable energy capabilities were profitable. Short positions in a technology company facing competitive challenges and a testing services company were also notable contributors.

Aetos Distressed Investment Strategies Fund, LLC

Fund Commentary

For the year ended January 31, 2023

(Unaudited)

The Aetos Distressed Investment Strategies Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) allocates its assets among a select group of investment managers (“Managers)” across a variety of credit and distressed investment strategies while seeking to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes.

The Fund allocates to Managers that buy the securities (generally bonds and bank loans) of companies that are in bankruptcy or in danger of bankruptcy, as well as other assets, such as structured products (including RMBS and CMBS) and post-reorganization equities. Managers seek to identify situations where they can buy these securities at a discount to their eventual value because traditional fixed income Managers may not want to or be able to own them once they have been downgraded or are in default. The sellers may also not have the expertise and patience to go through a restructuring process. This kind of investing involves credit analysis, legal expertise and (often) negotiating ability, as the Manager must determine the value of the underlying securities, the likely timing and resolution of a restructuring/refinancing process and also may need to negotiate with other creditors. Additionally, certain Managers express their company-specific and market views through shorting, often with credit default swaps.

For the year ended January 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of -1.03%.¹ For the period from commencement of investment activities on September 1, 2002 through January 31, 2023, the Fund had an annualized return of +6.41%.

The Distressed Investment Strategies Fund sustained a slight loss during the period; however, it generally preserved capital in a difficult market environment (a passive 50/50 High Yield-Bank Loan Portfolio would have returned -1.9%). The Fund’s more directional Managers experienced negative performance while the Fund’s more variable-biased Managers delivered gains.

One of the period’s most significant winners was a post-reorganization equity position in a media company. During the first quarter, the company closed a deal to sell itself at a sizable premium to a mega-cap internet company with a large media streaming and content creation business. In addition, commodity-price exposed businesses were generally positive contributors, including a restructuring utility that benefited from positive developments in its restructuring as well as the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. Elsewhere, short positions were broadly additive to performance.

In terms of detractors, longstanding positions in the consumer sector, including a furniture and household goods retailer and a restructured retailer facing elevated inventory levels, were among the worst performers. Other meaningful detractors came from a diversified set of positions across industries including a hospital system facing company-specific and pandemic-related challenges and a company with significant exposure to office real estate.

Aetos Long/Short Strategies Fund, LLC

Fund Commentary

For the year ended January 31, 2023

(Unaudited)

The Aetos Long/Short Strategies Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) allocates its assets among a select group of investment managers (“Managers”) across a variety of long/short strategies while seeking to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes. The Fund is composed primarily of Managers who construct stock portfolios on a bottom-up, fundamental basis, although the Fund maintains some exposure to more systematic strategies.

For the year ended January 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of +1.70%.¹ For the period from commencement of investment activities on September 1, 2002 through January 31, 2023, the Fund had an annualized return of +5.08%.

The Fund generated significant positive alpha, realizing a gain despite losses in broad equity markets (S&P 500 -8.2%, MSCI ACWI -8.0%). The Fund’s higher-turnover Managers, especially those pursuing market-neutral and low-net strategies, were particularly successful in navigating the choppy market environment. Net exposure decreased meaningfully during the period, driven by a combination of the Fund’s allocation shifts and Manager-driven exposure reductions.

Energy-related positions were particularly profitable despite net neutral positioning in the sector. A meaningful contributor was a long position in an energy infrastructure company supplying liquefied natural gas for export, which performed well amid elevated global natural gas prices. Several long positions in alternative energy businesses benefited from the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. In more traditional energy names, a long position in an exploration and production company benefited from pricing differences between propane and other natural gases.

Corporate events also benefited the Fund. One of the largest contributors was a long position in an enterprise software company that agreed to sell itself to a buyout firm at a meaningful premium. Other notable contributors included a biotechnology company that was bought by a strategic acquirer for a sizable premium and a European infrastructure company that was taken private by a consortium of financial acquirers.

Short positions were broadly additive despite episodic meme-stock rallies and factor rotations (especially challenging in the second half of the reporting period). Significant contributors included a telecommunications infrastructure company that was forced to cut its high dividend, a real estate company overextending its balance sheet to prop up bankrupt tenants, and an electrical component manufacturer that withdrew its forward guidance and revealed that major orders to important customers had been delayed. Short exposure to more speculative companies that de-rated also contributed gains.

Long positions in growth-oriented companies were notable detractors during the period as multiples compressed while markets adjusted to higher interest rates.

⁽¹⁾ Percentages are based on Members’ Capital of $379,571,824.

⁽²⁾ Non-income producing investments.

⁽³⁾ Rate disclosed is the 7-day effective yield as of 01/31/23.

⁽⁴⁾ Portfolio Funds in this strategy generally look to exploit relative mispricings between securities in a company’s capital structure where the manager can go long the undervalued security and hedge out resulting equity and/or credit betas. In convertible bonds, opportunities can be found where sellers do not properly assess the value of the embedded credit and equity option components, resulting in convertibles that trade either cheap or expensive to their fundamental value. In other corporate credit situations, opportunities arise when different components of a company’s capital structure imply very different fundamental outcomes (i.e. equity near zero and debt near par), creating the opportunity to structure long and short positions that have favorable payoff profiles. Both of these strategies are implemented with the use of leverage.

⁽⁵⁾ Portfolio Funds in this strategy invest in securities of companies involved in certain special situations, including mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, spin-offs, balance sheet restructuring, bankruptcy and other situations. These special situations constitute an “event” which the Portfolio Managers believe will trigger a change in the price of securities relative to their current price or close the gap between securities that are being arbitraged.

⁽⁶⁾ Portfolio Funds in this strategy look to exploit mispricings between related fixed income instruments, including sovereign debt, corporate debt and derivative instruments such as futures, options and swaps. Exploitable opportunities may be found in closely related securities trading at different prices, in the value between fixed income instruments and related derivative instruments, in the shape of yield curves and in credit spreads. These strategies typically require leverage in order to exploit relatively small mispricings.

⁽⁷⁾ Portfolio Fund subject to investor-level percentage limitations on redemptions.

⁽⁸⁾ Portfolio Fund in liquidation. Mandatory distributions are expected to be received when underlying investments of the Portfolio Fund are realized.

The aggregate cost of investments for tax purposes was $345,839,256. Net unrealized appreciation on investments for tax purposes was $35,843,293 consisting of $35,843,293 of gross unrealized appreciation and $0 of gross unrealized depreciation.

The Portfolio Funds will tend to run their investment portfolios with a permanent net short or short-only exposure.

⁽⁸⁾ Portfolio Fund subject to investor-level percentage limitations on redemptions.

The aggregate cost of investments for tax purposes was $399,358,092. Net unrealized appreciation on investments for tax purposes was $74,820,156 consisting of $93,548,450 of gross unrealized appreciation and $18,728,294 of gross unrealized depreciation.

The investments in Portfolio Funds shown above, representing 99.19% of Members’ Capital, have been fair valued using NAV as a practical expedient.

1. Organization

The Aetos Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund, LLC, the Aetos Distressed Investment Strategies Fund, LLC, and the Aetos Long/Short Strategies Fund, LLC (collectively the “Funds” or “Master Funds” and individually a “Fund” or “Master Fund”) were formed in the state of Delaware as limited liability companies.

The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 - Financial Services - Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Each Fund is a fund-of-funds. The Funds seek capital appreciation by allocating their assets among a select group of private investment funds (commonly known as hedge funds) (“Portfolio Funds”) that utilize a variety of alternative investment strategies that seek to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes.

The Investment Manager may receive an additional management fee and/or an incentive fee at the feeder fund level.

The principal investment objective of each Fund is as follows:

Aetos Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund, LLC seeks to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes, by allocating its assets among a select group of portfolio managers that utilize a variety of arbitrage strategies.

Aetos Distressed Investment Strategies Fund, LLC seeks to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes, by allocating its assets among a select group of portfolio managers across a variety of distressed investment strategies.

The Funds may offer, from time to time, to repurchase outstanding members’ interests (“Interests”) pursuant to written tenders by members. The Funds may offer to repurchase Interests four times each year, as of the last business day of March, June, September and December. However, repurchase offers will only be made at such times and on such terms as may be determined by the Funds’ Board of Managers (the “Board”) in its sole discretion.

Interests may be purchased on the first business day of each calendar month or at such other times as may be determined by the Board.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

A. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Investment Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.

B. Portfolio Valuation and Security Transactions

The net asset values of the Funds are determined as of the close of business at the end of each month in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below or as may be determined from time to time pursuant to policies established by the Board.

The Investment Manager has established a Valuation Committee that has oversight responsibility for the valuation of each of the Funds’ investments in Portfolio Funds. Members of the Valuation Committee include key members of the Investment Manager’s Senior Management, Compliance, Due Diligence and Risk Management teams.

Investments in Portfolio Funds are presented in the accompanying financial statements at fair value, as determined by the Funds’ Investment Manager under the general supervision of the Board. Such fair value generally represents a Fund’s pro-rata interest in the net assets of a Portfolio Fund as provided by the Portfolio Funds. As a general matter, the fair value of the Funds’ interests in Portfolio Funds will represent the amount that the Funds could reasonably expect to receive from the Portfolio Funds if the Funds’ interests were redeemed at the time of the valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is determined and that the Funds believe to be reliable.

The Investment Manager considers information provided by the Portfolio Funds regarding the methods they use to value underlying investments in the Portfolio Funds and any restrictions on or illiquidity of the interests in the Portfolio Funds, in determining fair value.

Considerable judgment is required to interpret the factors used to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts a Fund could realize in a current market exchange and the differences could be material to the financial statements. The use of different factors or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”).

22

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

B. Portfolio Valuation and Security Transactions (continued)

The FASB issued ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which establishes a fair value hierarchy and specifies that a valuation technique used to measure fair value shall maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation. The levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35-40 to 54 are as follows:

• Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;

• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.

• Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable.

Inputs broadly refer to assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. ASC Topic 820-10-35-59 permits the Investment Manager to estimate the fair value of the investments in the Portfolio Funds at the net asset value reported by the Portfolio Funds if the net asset value is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC Topic 946. The Investment Manager evaluates each Portfolio Fund individually to determine that its net asset value is calculated in a manner consistent with ASC Topic 946.

The Investment Manager also considers whether an adjustment to the net asset value reported by the Portfolio Fund is necessary based upon various factors, including, but not limited to, the attributes of the interest in the Portfolio Fund held, including the rights and obligations, and any restrictions on or illiquidity of such interests, and the fair value of such Portfolio Fund’s investment portfolio or other assets and liabilities. The net asset value reported by the Portfolio Funds may be based upon unobservable inputs and a significant change in those unobservable inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher reported net asset value reported for such Portfolio Funds.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in the valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to the issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

⁽¹⁾ In accordance with ASC 820-10-35-54B investments in Portfolio Funds that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Realized gains and losses from Portfolio Fund transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Investments are recorded on the effective date of the subscription in the Portfolio Fund.

C. Fund Income and Expenses

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Each Fund bears its own expenses including, but not limited to, any taxes and investment-related expenses incurred by the Funds (e.g., fees and expenses charged by the Portfolio Managers and Portfolio Funds, professional fees, custody and administrative fees). Most expenses of the Funds can be directly attributed to a particular Fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Funds based upon relative net assets or on another reasonable basis.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

D. Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to continue to be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Each Member is responsible for the tax liability or benefit relating to the Member’s distributive share of taxable income or loss. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Funds withhold and pay taxes on foreign Members’ share of U.S. source income and U.S. effectively connected income, if any, allocated from Portfolio Funds to the extent such income is not exempted from withholding under the Internal Revenue Code and Regulations thereunder. The actual amount of such taxes is not known until all Form K-1s and Form K-3s from Portfolio Funds are received, usually in the following tax year. Prior to the final determination, the amount of tax is estimated based on information available. The final tax could be different from the estimated tax and the difference could be significant. Such withholdings are recorded as distributions in the Statements of Changes in Members’ Capital and are allocated to the individual Members’ Capital accounts to which they apply and are not an expense of the Funds.

The Investment Manager applies the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Investment Manager to determine whether a tax position of the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. However, the Investment Manager’s conclusions regarding Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof and other factors. Each of the Fund’s federal, state and local tax returns for all open tax years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and local tax authorities.

E. Distribution Policy

The Funds have no present intention of making periodic distributions of their net investment income or capital gains, if any, to Members. The amount and frequency of distributions, if any, will be determined in the sole discretion of the Board.

F. Distributions from Portfolio Funds

Distributions from Portfolio Funds will be classified as investment income or realized gains in the Statements of Operations, or alternatively, as a decrease to the cost of the investments based on the U.S. income tax characteristics of the distribution if such information is available. In cases where the tax characteristics are not available, such distributions are generally classified as investment income.

G. Cash

Cash is defined as cash on deposit at financial institutions.

3. Investment Manager Fee, Related Party Transactions and Other

The Funds paid the Investment Manager a monthly management fee (the “Management Fee”) at the annual rate of 0.55% of the net asset value of each Fund as of the last day of the month (before any repurchases of Interests). The Investment Manager is responsible for providing day-to-day investment management services to the Funds, and for providing various administrative services to the Funds.

The Investment Manager may also be paid a Program Fee outside of the Funds for services rendered to investors. The Program Fee is paid directly by the investors at an annual rate of up to 0.60% of an investor’s assets in the Funds. The Program Fee may also include an annual performance-based incentive fee outside of the Funds based on the return of an investor’s account with the Investment Manager.

HedgeServ (Cayman) Ltd., a limited company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, (the “Administrator”) provides administration, accounting and investor services to the Funds. In consideration for such services, the Funds pay the Administrator a monthly fee based on their combined prior month-end net assets at an annual rate of 0.12% on the first $250 million of net assets, 0.10% on net assets between $250 million and $500 million, 0.07% on net assets between $500 million and $750 million and 0.06% on net assets over $750 million, and will reimburse the Administrator for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Each Fund is allocated its pro-rata share of the monthly fee based upon its prior month-end members’ capital adjusted for capital activity.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as the custodian (the “Custodian”) for the Funds’ assets. In consideration for such services, the Funds pay the Custodian a monthly fee, based on their combined month-end portfolio market values, at an annual rate of 0.025% on the first $500 million of portfolio market value, 0.02% on portfolio market value between $500 million and $1 billion and 0.015% on portfolio market value over $1 billion. Each Fund is allocated its pro-rata share of the monthly fee based upon its month-end portfolio market value.

Each Member of the Board who is not an “interested person” of the Funds as defined by the 1940 Act receives an annual retainer of $60,000 and regular quarterly meeting fees of $6,500 per meeting (additional meeting fees are $500 per meeting). The chairman of the audit committee receives an additional annual retainer of $4,700. Any Member of the Board of Managers who is an “interested person” does not receive any annual or other fee from the Funds. All Members of the Board of Managers are reimbursed by the Funds for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Net profits or net losses of the Funds for each fiscal period are allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of Members as of the last day of each fiscal period in accordance with each Member’s respective investment percentage for each Fund. Net profits or net losses are measured as the net change in the value of the net assets of a Fund during a fiscal period, before giving effect to any repurchases of Interests in the Fund, and excluding the amount of any items to be allocated among the capital accounts of the Members of the Fund, other than in accordance with the Members’ respective investment percentages.

4. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Portfolio Funds in which the Funds invest trade various financial instruments and enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk. These include, but are not limited to, short selling activities, writing option contracts, use of leverage and swap contracts. The Funds’ risk of loss in these Portfolio Funds is limited to the value of their investments in the Portfolio Funds.

5. Risk Factors

Limitations on the Funds’ ability to withdraw their assets from Portfolio Funds may limit the Funds’ ability to repurchase their Interests. For example, many Portfolio Funds impose lock-up periods prior to allowing withdrawals, which can be two years or longer. After expiration of the lock-up period, withdrawals typically are permitted only on a limited basis, such as monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or biannually. Many Portfolio Funds may also indefinitely suspend redemptions or establish restrictions on the ability to fully receive proceeds from redemptions through the application of a redemption restriction or “gate.” In instances where the primary source of funds to repurchase Interests will be withdrawals from Portfolio Funds, the application of these lock-ups and withdrawal limitations may significantly limit the Funds’ ability to repurchase their Interests.

The Funds invest primarily in Portfolio Funds that are not registered under the 1940 Act and invest in and actively trade securities and other financial instruments using different strategies and investment techniques that may involve significant risks. Such risks include those related to the volatility of the equity, credit, and currency markets, the use of leverage associated with certain fixed income strategies, derivative contracts and in connection with short positions, the potential illiquidity of certain instruments and counterparty and broker arrangements.

Some of the Portfolio Funds in which the Funds invest may invest all or a portion of their assets in securities which are illiquid or are subject to an anticipated event. These Portfolio Funds may create “side pockets” in which to hold these securities. Side pockets are series or classes of shares which are not redeemable by the investors but which are automatically redeemed or converted back into the Portfolio Fund’s regular series or classes of shares upon the realization of those securities or the happening of some other liquidity event with respect to those securities.

These “side pockets” can often be held for long periods before they are realized, and may therefore be much less liquid than the general liquidity offered on the Portfolio Fund’s regular series or classes of shares. Should the Funds seek to liquidate their investment in a Portfolio Fund that maintains investments in a side pocket arrangement or that holds a substantial portion of its assets in illiquid securities, the Funds might not be able to fully liquidate their investments without delay, which could be considerable. In such cases, during the period until the Funds are permitted to fully liquidate the investment in the Portfolio Fund, the value of the investment could fluctuate.

27

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

5. Risk Factors (continued)

The Portfolio Funds may utilize leverage in pursuit of achieving a potentially greater investment return. The use of leverage exposes a Portfolio Fund to additional risk including (i) greater losses from investments than would otherwise have been the case had the Portfolio Fund not used leverage to make the investments; (ii) margin calls or interim margin requirements may force premature liquidations of investment positions; and (iii) losses on investments where the investment fails to earn a return that equals or exceeds the Portfolio Fund’s cost of leverage related to such investment. In the event of a sudden, precipitous drop in the value of a Portfolio Fund’s assets, the Portfolio Fund might not be able to liquidate assets quickly enough to repay its borrowings, further magnifying the losses incurred by the Portfolio Fund.

The Portfolio Funds may invest a higher percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a result, the Portfolio Funds may be more susceptible to economic, political and regulatory developments in a particular sector of the market, positive or negative, and may experience increased volatility of the Portfolio Fund’s net asset value.

The Portfolio Funds may invest in securities of foreign companies that involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investments in the United States of America, due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Portfolio Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Portfolio Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine and, in response, the United States and other governments have imposed economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals, including Russian government officials and other government-linked individuals, and Russian corporate entities and financial institutions, banned certain Russian financial institutions from global payments systems that facilitate cross-border payments and have taken other economic and political measures. It is possible that such governments could institute broader sanctions or impose other economic and political measures on Russia, which could result in the immediate freeze of Russian securities and/or funds invested in prohibited assets and/or other consequences. The extent and duration of the military action, the possibility of the conflict expanding beyond Ukraine and Russia, and resulting sanctions and other economic and political measures and future market disruptions in the region and worldwide are impossible to predict, but could be significant and have a severe adverse effect on the region and collateral effects globally, including significant negative impacts on the global economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors.

The Funds invest in a limited number of Portfolio Funds and such concentrations may result in additional risk. Various risks are also associated with an investment in the Funds, including risks relating to the multi-manager structure of the Funds, risks relating to compensation arrangements and risks related to limited liquidity of the Interests.

28

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

5. Risk Factors (continued)

The Funds and Portfolio Funds are also subject to the risk of losses arising in connection with cybersecurity incidents.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) globally continues to adversely impact global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. While, due to the evolving and highly uncertain nature of this event, it currently is not possible to estimate its impact precisely, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact the performance and liquidity of the Funds’ underlying managers and their investments and therefore the financial performance and liquidity of the Funds themselves.

Moreover, changes in interest rates, inflation, reduced liquidity or a slowdown in the United States or deterioration of global economic conditions may also adversely affect the financial performance of the Funds and their underlying managers. Further, extreme market volatility may leave the Funds and/or the underlying managers unable to react to market events in a prudent manner consistent with historical practices in dealing with more orderly markets.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments

Included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this Form.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Aetos Alternatives Management, LP

Proxy Voting Policy

I. Introduction

This policy sets forth Aetos Alternatives Management, LP (“AAM”) policies and procedures for voting proxies with respect to portfolio securities held in the accounts for which AAM provides discretionary investment management services and for which AAM has the explicit authority to vote their proxies. The policy will be reviewed and, if necessary, updated periodically to address new or revised proxy voting issues as they arise.

As an investment manager for various clients, including clients governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), AAM may vote proxies as part of its authority to manage, acquire and dispose of client account assets, unless the “named fiduciary” for an ERISA account has explicitly reserved the authority for itself, or in the case of an account not governed by ERISA, the client investment management agreement does not provide that AAM will vote proxies. When voting proxies for client accounts, AAM will make voting decisions solely in the best interests of its clients and its ERISA plan clients and beneficiaries and participants, considering all relevant factors and without undue influence from individuals or groups who may have an economic interest in the outcome of a proxy vote. In fulfilling its obligations to its clients, AAM will act in a manner it deems prudent and diligent and which is intended to enhance the economic value of the underlying portfolio securities held in its clients’ accounts.

II. Routine Corporate Matters

AAM will generally, although not always, vote in support of management on matters which are common management-sponsored initiatives, provided that, in AAM’s opinion, approval of such initiatives will not detract from the economic value of the company’s securities held in AAM client accounts. These matters are set out below:

(i) Appointment or election of auditors;

(ii) Routine elections or re-elections of directors;

(iii) Director’s liability and indemnification;

(iv) General updating/corrective amendments to charter;

(v) Name changes;

(vi) Elimination of cumulative voting; and

(vii) Elimination of preemptive rights.

III. Issues Having the Potential for Major Economic Impact

A. AAM will generally, although not always, vote in support of management initiatives which may have a substantive financial or best interest impact, provided that, in AAM’s opinion, approval of such initiatives will not detract from the economic value of the company’s securities held in AAM client accounts. These matters are set out below:

(i) Capitalization changes which eliminate other classes of stock and voting rights;

(ii) Changes in capitalization authorization for stock splits, stock dividends, and other specified needs which are no more than 50% of the existing authorization;

(iii) Stock purchase plans with an exercise price of not less than 85% of fair market value;

(iv) Stock option plans that are incentive based and not excessive;

(v) Other stock-based plans which are appropriately structured;

(vi) Reductions in supermajority vote requirements; and

(vii) Adoption of anti-greenmail provisions.

B. AAM will generally not vote in support of management on certain issues which have a potential substantive financial or best interest impact when AAM believes that approval of the proposal may negatively impact the economic value of the company’s securities held in AAM client accounts. These matters are set out below:

(i) Capitalization changes which add classes of stock which are blank check in nature or that dilute the voting interests of existing shareholders;

(ii) Changes in capitalization authorization where management does not offer an appropriate rationale or that are contrary to the best interest of existing shareholders;

(iii) Anti-takeover and related provisions which serve to prevent the majority of shareholders from exercising their rights or effectively deter appropriate tender offers and other offers;

(iv) Amendments to by-laws which would require supermajority shareholder votes to pass or repeal certain provisions;

(v) Classified boards of directors;

(vi) Reincorporation into a state which has more stringent anti-takeover and related provisions;

(vii) Shareholder rights plans which allow appropriate offers to shareholders to be blocked by the board or trigger provisions which prevent legitimate offers from proceeding;

(viii) Excessive compensation or non-salary compensation related proposals;

(ix) Change-in-control provisions in non-salary compensation plans, employment contracts and severance agreements that benefit management and would be costly to shareholders if triggered; and

(x) “Other business as properly comes before the meeting” proposals which give a blank check to those acting as proxy.

IV. Social and Corporate Responsibility Issues

AAM, believing that management’s job is to handle ordinary business matters, and not wanting to arbitrarily impose a judgment on such matters, usually votes with management on these proposals. Third party analyses of these issues are taken into account. If an issue will, in our view negatively impact the investment merits of a company, we will oppose it.

V. Conflict of Interests

Situations may arise where there are material conflicts between AAM’s interest and those of its advisory clients. AAM may resolve potential conflicts by using any of the following methods: (1) adopting a policy of disclosing the conflict to clients and obtaining their consent before voting: (2) basing the proxy vote on pre-determined voting guidelines if the application of the guidelines to the matter do not involve the exercise of discretion on the part of AAM; or (3) using the recommendations of an independent third party.

VI. Proxy Voting Record Retention

AAM retains the following records: (1) proxy voting policies and procedures; (2) proxy statements; (3) records of votes cast on behalf of clients; (4) records of clients’ requests for proxy voting information; and (5) any documents prepared by or on behalf of AAM that were material in making decisions on how to vote. AAM retains the above-mentioned records for a minimum of five years.

VII. Proxy Administration

The decision on how to vote a proxy will generally be made by the investment professional responsible for the security requesting a shareholder vote. The investment professional will consult with the Compliance Officer prior to making any such determination, and the Compliance Officer will determine if the proposed vote is consistent with the policies set forth in II-IV above, in which case no further action is required, or the proposed vote is not in compliance with these guidelines or presents a conflict, in which case the proxy will be reviewed with senior management, who will determine the appropriate vote.

(a)(2)(iv)

Material Conflicts of Interest

The Investment Manager manages multiple accounts for multiple clients. The Investment Manager has adopted compliance procedures that are designed to ensure that each client is treated equitably with respect to the presentation of investment opportunities. In practice, the Investment Manager allocates investment opportunities across client relationships generally on a pro-rata basis among accounts for which such investments are suitable, subject to a number of factors, including cash availability, each client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance, the make-up of each client’s remaining portfolio at the time of investment and the size of the potential investment relative to the client’s portfolio size. As a result of the application of these and other considerations, opportunities will not always be allocated to all portfolios and allocations across portfolios will not always be made on a pro-rata basis. The Investment Manager endeavors to allocate investment opportunities to client portfolios in a fair and equitable manner over time. The Investment Manager’s Chief Compliance Officer reviews all trade allocations in order to ensure that accounts are treated fairly. Additionally, a written policy governs the allocation of investment capacity and a formal allocation report is submitted to the Chief Compliance Officer.

(a)(3)

Description of Compensation

Each of the Portfolio Managers identified in response to Item 8(a)(1) above receives compensation that includes a fixed base salary, a discretionary bonus and an allocation of the firm’s net profits based on such Portfolio Manager’s percentage ownership interest in the firm.  Each Portfolio Manager’s fixed base salary is based on the level of their position.  Bonuses, which are awarded in the form of cash, are variable and are determined based on an evaluation of a number of factors, including, primarily, the individual’s performance during the year, the firm’s profitability and financial condition and market compensation levels.  Bonuses are not determined formulaically with reference to any specific performance benchmarks or criteria and no single factor in determining bonuses is necessarily weighted more than any other factor; rather they are determined based on a general evaluation of the above and other factors determined to be appropriate by the firm’s Co-Chief Executive Officers.  The information provided in response to this Item 8(a)(3) is provided as of January 31, 2023.

AETOS MULTI-STRATEGY ARBITRAGE FUND, LLC

AETOS DISTRESSED INVESTMENT STRATEGIES FUND,
LLC AETOS LONG/SHORT STRATEGIES FUND, LLC and

AETOS ALTERNATIVES MANAGEMENT, LP

Code of Ethics Pursuant to Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act

Introduction

Aetos Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund, LLC, Aetos Distressed Investment Strategies Fund, LLC and Aetos Long/Short Strategies Fund, LLC (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) and Aetos Alternatives Management, LP (the “Adviser”) recognize the importance of high ethical standards in the conduct of their business and require that this Code of Ethics (the “Code”) be observed by each Access Person (defined below in Section III a.). All recipients of this Code are hereby directed to read it carefully, retain it for future reference and abide by the rules and policies set forth herein.

While compliance with the provisions of this Code is anticipated, Access Persons should be aware that in response to any violations, the Funds and the Adviser will take whatever action is deemed appropriate under the circumstances including, but not necessarily limited to, dismissal of such Access Person. Technical compliance with the procedures of this Code will not automatically insulate from scrutiny trades that show a pattern of abuse of an individual’s fiduciary duties¹ to the Funds.

Purpose

This Code has been adopted by the Funds and the Adviser pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Rule 17j-1 generally prohibits fraudulent or manipulative practices with respect to purchases or sales of securities held or to be acquired by investment companies, if effected by persons associated with such companies. The purpose of this Code is to provide regulations and procedures consistent with the 1940 Act and Rule 17j-1.

The basic tenets of Rule 17j-1 are as follows:

It is unlawful for any Access Person, principal underwriter for a Fund or affiliated person² of a principal underwriter for a Fund, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by such person of a Security Held or to Be Acquired (as defined below in Section III m.) by a Fund:

to employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Funds,

¹ A fiduciary duty is a duty to act for someone else’s (i.e., our Fund shareholders) benefit, while subordinating one’s personal interests to that of the other person. It is the highest standard of duty imposed by law.

² Affiliated person as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act.

1

to make to the Funds any untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state to the Funds a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, or

to engage in any act, practice, or course of business that operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the Funds, or to engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Funds.

Definitions

“Access Person,” means any manager, officer, trustee, general partner, or Advisory Person of the Funds or the Adviser.

“Advisory Person” means (1) any director, officer, general partner or employee of the Funds or the Adviser, or of any company in a control relationship to the Funds or the Adviser, who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in, or obtains information regarding the purchase or sale of a Security by the Funds, or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales and (2) any natural person in a control relationship to the Funds or the Adviser who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the Funds or the Adviser with regard to the purchase or sale of a Security by the Funds.

“Independent Manager” is anyone who sits on the Board of Managers of the Funds (the “Board of Managers”) and who has no relationship with the Funds other than that of serving as a member of the Board of Managers, and who is not otherwise classifiable as an Access Person or an Advisory Person; and who is not an “interested person” of the Funds within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.

“Investment Personnel” means (1) any employee of the Funds or the Adviser (or of any company in a control relationship to the Funds or the Adviser) who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes or participates in making recommendations regarding the purchase or sale of securities by the Funds and (2) any natural person who controls the Funds or the Adviser and who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the Funds regarding the purchase or sale of securities by the Funds.

A Security is “being considered for purchase or sale” when a recommendation to purchase or sell a Security has been made and communicated or, with respect to the person making the recommendation, when such person considers making such a recommendation or when there is any outstanding order to purchase or sell that security.

“Control” means the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Funds or the Adviser. See Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act.

2

“Beneficial Ownership” means ownership of securities or securities accounts by or for the benefit of a person, or such person’s “family member,” including any account

in which the person or family member of that person holds a direct or indirect beneficial interest, retains discretionary investment authority or exercises a power of attorney. The term “family member” means any person’s spouse, child or other relative, whether related by blood, marriage, or otherwise, who either resides with, is financially dependent upon, or whose investments are controlled by that person. The term also includes any unrelated individual whose investments are controlled and whose financial support is materially contributed to by that person, such as a “significant other.”

“Security” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act, except that it shall not include shares of registered open-end investment companies, securities issued by the Government of the United States, short term debt securities which are “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the 1940 Act, bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper and high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements. For purposes of this Code, “Security” shall include cryptocurrencies and other similar digital assets other than those specifically excepted by the Compliance Officer.

“Security Held or to Be Acquired” shall mean (i) any Security which, within the most recent 15 days, is or has been held by the Fund or is being or has been considered by the Fund or the Adviser for purchase by the Fund, and (ii) any option to purchase or sell (and any security convertible into or exchangeable for) such Security.

“Initial Public Offering” means an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the issuer of which, immediately before the registration, was not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“Limited Offering” means an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) or Section 4(5) or pursuant to Rules 504, 505 or 506 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

“Purchase or Sale of a Security” includes, among other things, the writing of an option to purchase or sell a Security.

“Compliance Officer” shall mean, with respect to the Funds or the Adviser, the person appointed by the Board of Managers or management of the Adviser, as the case may be, to administer the Code and shall include other person(s) designated by the Compliance Officer to administer the Code.

“Access Person of an Affiliated Underwriter” shall mean any director, officer or general partner of an Affiliated Underwriter who, in the ordinary course of business, makes, participates in or obtains information regarding the purchase or sale of Securities by the Fund for which the principal underwriter acts, or whose functions or duties in the ordinary course of business relate to the making of any recommendation to the Fund regarding the purchase or sale of Securities.

3

“Affiliated Underwriter” shall mean any principal underwriter of a Fund that (i) is an affiliated person, as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act, of the Fund or the Adviser or (ii) has an officer, director or general partner who serves as an officer, director or general partner of the Fund or the Adviser. Exempted Transactions

The prohibitions of Section V of this Code shall not apply to:

Purchases or sales effected in any account over which the Access Person has no direct or indirect influence or control.

Open-end mutual funds, including money market funds purchased or sold directly through the Funds or its transfer agent.

Purchases that are made by reinvesting cash dividends pursuant to an automatic dividend or distribution reinvestment program or employee stock option plan (this exception does not apply to optional cash purchases).

U.S. Government Securities purchased directly from the U.S. Government.

Bank certificates of deposits purchased directly from a bank.

Purchases effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro rata to all holders of a class of its securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired.

Purchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of either the Access Person, the Funds or the Adviser. Compliance Procedures

General Prohibition:

No Access Person shall purchase or sell directly or indirectly, any Security in which he or she has, or by reason of such transaction acquires, any Beneficial Ownership and which he or she knows or should have known at the time of such purchase or sale; is being considered for purchase or sale by the Funds, or is being purchased or sold by the Funds.

Conflicts of Interest:

Each Access Person has the duty to disclose to the Funds and the Adviser, as the case may be, any interest whatsoever that he or she may have in any firm, corporation or business unit with which he or she is called upon to deal as part of his or her assigned duties with the Funds or the Adviser, or any other activity that the Access Person reasonably believes presents a potential conflict of interest. This disclosure should be timely so that the Funds or the Adviser may take such action concerning the conflict as deemed appropriate by the Compliance Officer or the General Counsel of the Adviser.

4

Gifts:

Access Persons may not accept any fee, commission, gift, or services, other than de minimis gifts, from any persons or entities doing business with or on behalf of the Funds.

Service as a Board Member:

If one or more Funds invest in Securities other than interests in private investment funds, no Investment Personnel may serve on the board of a publicly traded company unless prior authorization is obtained from the Compliance Officer based on a determination that (1) the business of such company does not conflict with the interests of the Funds, (2) service would be consistent with the best interests of the Funds and its shareholders, and (3) service is not prohibited by law. If such service is authorized, procedures will then be put in place to isolate such Investment Personnel serving as managers of outside entities from those making investment decisions on behalf of the Funds.

Advance notice should be given so that the Funds or the Adviser may take such action concerning the conflict as deemed appropriate by the Compliance Officer.

Initial Public Offerings and Limited Offerings:

Investment Personnel must obtain prior approval from the Compliance Officer before directly or indirectly acquiring Beneficial Ownership in any securities in an Initial Public Offering or in a Limited Offering. Those Investment Personnel who have obtained prior approval and made an investment in an Initial Public Offering or a Limited Offering must disclose that investment to the Compliance Officer when such Investment Personnel play a part in any subsequent consideration of an investment in the issuer by a Fund. Under such circumstances, the decision by a Fund to purchase securities of the issuer of the Initial Public Offering or the Limited Offering must be subject to independent review by the Compliance Officer or Investment Personnel with no personal interest in the issuer.

Purchases or Sales by Investment Personnel:

No Investment Personnel may purchase an interest in a private investment fund without the prior approval of the Compliance Officer. If one or more Funds invest in Securities other than interests in private investment funds, no Investment Personnel may execute a personal Securities transaction within seven (7) calendar days before and after a Fund trades in that Security.

Short-Term Trading Profits:

If one or more Funds invest in Securities other than interests in private investment funds, Investment Personnel may not profit from the purchase and sale, or sale and purchase, of the same or equivalent Securities within 60 calendar days.

5

Violations and Sanctions

All Access Persons must report any violations or potentials violations of this Code promptly to the Compliance Officer.

If the Compliance Officer discovers that an Access Person has violated any provision of the Code, the Adviser may impose such sanctions as he or she deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, a letter of censure, suspension with or without pay, or termination of employment. Any such violation shall be reported to the Board of Managers at the next meeting of the Board of Managers occurring after the Compliance Officer becomes aware of the violation.

Any profits realized on personal transactions in violation of the Code must be disgorged in a manner directed by the Adviser.

Reporting and Monitoring

The Compliance Officer shall monitor the personal trading activity of all Access Persons pursuant to the procedures established under this Code. The Adviser uses Compliance Science (“ComplySci”), a web-based compliance tool through which employees make all required compliance disclosures and certifications and through which all personal trading approvals and related record-keeping are processed and maintained, for reporting and monitoring. Each employee has a unique log-in that will allow them to access ComplySci. New hires will receive an e-mail upon beginning their employment with instructions on registering on ComplySci. Any questions regarding ComplySci should be directed to the Compliance Officer.

Each Access Person, except the Independent Managers², shall submit to the Compliance Officer through ComplySci:

Initial Holdings Reports. No later than 10 days after the person becomes an Access Person, the following information (which must be current as of a date no more than 30 days prior to the date the person becomes an Access Person):

The title, number of shares and principal amount of each Security in which the Access Person had any Beneficial Ownership when the person became an Access Person;

The name of any broker, dealer or bank with whom the Access Person maintained an account in which any securities were held for the direct or indirect benefit of the Access Person as of the date the person became an Access Person; and

The date that the report is submitted by the Access Person.

² Independent Managers may be required to file a Quarterly Transaction Report — see Section VII C. below.

6

The nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale or any other type of acquisition or disposition);

The price of the Security at which the transaction was effected;

The name of the broker, dealer or bank with or through which the transaction was effect; and

The date that the report is submitted by the Access Person.

With respect to any account established by the Access Person in which any securities were held during the quarter for the direct or indirect benefit of the Access Person:

The name of the broker, dealer or bank with whom the Access Person established the account;

The date the account was established; and

The date that the report is submitted by the Access Person.

Annual Holdings Reports. Annually, the following information (which information must be current as of a date no more than 45 days before the report is submitted):

The name of any broker, dealer or bank with whom the Access Person maintains an account in which any securities are held for the direct or indirect benefit of the Access Person; and

The date that the report is submitted by the Access Person.

7

The reports noted above in this Section VII B are not required with respect to any Security held in an account referred to in Section IV(a) of this Code.

An Independent Manager need only file a Quarterly Transaction Report if he or she, at the time of a transaction, knew, or in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her official duties as a member of the Board of Managers, should have known that during the 15 day period immediately preceding or following the date of the transaction in a Security by the Independent Manager the Security was purchased or sold by a Fund or was considered for purchase or sale by a Fund.

Any Access Person of an Affiliated Underwriter shall also submit the reports described in Section VII B. of this Code. The Compliance Officer will notify any Access Person of an Affiliated Underwriter of his or her obligation to file the reports described in Section VII B. of this Code.

Each Access Person shall annually certify through ComplySci that he or she has received, read and understood the Code and that he or she is subject to and has complied with each of the Code’s provisions applicable to such person. Each newly hired Access Person shall certify through ComplySci that he or she has received, read and understood the Code. Upon any material change to this Code, each Access Person shall certify through ComplySci that he or she has received, read and understood the amended Code and that he or she is subject to and has complied with each of the Code’s provisions applicable to such person.

The Compliance Officer shall prepare annually a written report for the Board of Managers which (1) describes any issues arising under the Code since the last report to the Board of Managers, including, but not limited to, information about material violations of the Code and sanctions imposed in response thereto and (2) certifies that the Funds, the Adviser and any Affiliated Underwriter have adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons or Access Persons of an Affiliated Underwriter from violating the Code.

All reports furnished pursuant to this Code will be maintained on a confidential basis and will be reasonably secured to prevent access to such records by unauthorized personnel.

An Access Person need not make a Quarterly Transaction Report under Section VII B(ii) if all of the information required in such report would duplicate information (1) contained in broker trade confirmations or account statements received by a Fund or the Adviser with respect to the Access Person in the time period required by Section VII B(ii) or (2) required to be recorded under Rule 204-2(a)(12) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

Recordkeeping

The Funds and the Adviser will maintain the following records at their principal place of business by such means permissible under the conditions described in Rule 31a-2 of the 1940 Act and Rule 204-2 of the Advisers Act (or under no-action letters or interpretations under these rules) and make these records available to the SEC or any representative of the SEC at any time and from time to time for reasonable periodic, special or other examination:

A record of any decision, and the reasons supporting the decision, to approve the acquisition by Investment Personnel of securities under Section V E of the Code for at least five years after the end of the fiscal year in which the approval is granted.

Amendments

A. Any material change to this Code must be approved by the Board of Managers, including a majority of the Independent Managers, within six (6) months after such material change has been adopted by the Adviser. Further:

i. Any approval of a material change to this Code by the Board of Managers must be based on a determination that the amended Code contains provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from engaging in any conduct prohibited by Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act; and

ii. Prior to the approval of any amendments to this Code, the Fund or Adviser will provide the Board of Managers with a certification that it has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating this Code.

B. Any Affiliated Underwriter must adopt a written code of ethics that contains provisions reasonably necessary to comply with Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act.
