BNY Mellon Evolution Global Alpha Fund

As at 31 July 2010

Investment objective

The Sub-Fund aims to maximise total returns with a commensurate level of risk by allocating assets to various investment strategies. These strategies are managed based upon quantitative models that select a mix of positions that reflect forward-looking estimates of return and risk globally. The Investment Manager retains discretion to override the buy and sell decisions that are indicated by the application model. In addition, the Sub-Fund will seek to opportunistically gain leverage when the expected risk-adjusted returns are high.
