• Advanced Fund Administration LLC, an affiliate of
  Cayman Advanced Fund Administration, is
  registered with the Securities and Exchange
  Commission ("SEC") as a Transfer Agent under the
  Section 17 A(c) of the 1934 Securities Exchange
  Act. As a registered Transfer Agent, AFA LLC is
  able to administer Funds that are registered
  under the 1940 Investment Company Act.
• Transfer agents record changes of ownership,
  maintain the issuer's security holder records,
  cancel and issue certificates, and distribute
  dividends. Because transfer agents stand between
  issuing companies and security holders, efficient
  transfer agent operations are critical to the
  successful completion of secondary trades. The
  SEC has promulgated rules and regulations for all
  registered transfer agents, intended to
  facilitate the prompt and accurate clearance and
  settlement of securities transactions and that
  assure the safeguarding of securities and funds.
  The rules include minimum performance standards
  regarding the issuance of new certificates and
  related recordkeeping and reporting rules, and
  the prompt and accurate creation of security
  holder records and the safeguarding of securities
  and funds. The SEC also conducts inspections of
  transfer agents.
• In addition to being in a position to perform the
  critical Transfer Agent function for '40 Act
  Funds, AFA LLC will also conduct all accounting
  functions and through affiliations with respected
  law firms, the compliance and Board of Director
  support functions that are required for

  subscription documentation and incoming proceeds,
  AFA conducts its due diligence on both the source
  of funds and the Investor, including required AML
  and KYC analysis.
• Once the AML due diligence process has been
  completed, the subscription proceeds are wired
  into the funds trading account. This process is
  conducted on a same-day basis, causing no delay
  for the fund manager in trading the incoming
  capital while ensuring that proper due diligence
  is carried out. The same process pertains for any
  redemption from a fund to ensure that the
  redemption proceeds are returned to the
  investors account from which they were initially
  subscribed, thereby following required AML
  procedures.
