1 | Prior to May 1, 2012, the Funds prospectus listed the Funds primary benchmark as HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index, an unmanaged, equally-weighted hedge fund index. As of May 1, 2012 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is listed as the Funds primary benchmark because AlphaSimplex believes that 3-month LIBOR provides an appropriate comparison in light of the Funds absolute return strategy. |
2 | Effective November 19, 2012 the Barclay Fund of Funds Index replaced the HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index as the Funds secondary benchmark because AlphaSimplex believes the index is an appropriate representation of hedge fund industry performance. |
