(2) As a result of eliminating leverage at the fund level on 30th June 2009, the
actual historic performance is not a fair representation of how Aida would have
performed if managed in a manner consistent with how it will be undertaken going
forward. Therefore, for illustrative purposes in addition to the actual returns,
the Investment Manager has calculated an estimate of the return of the
underlying portfolio which is the return that would have been achieved if Aida
had operated without expenses and the costs of leverage. These are included as
"illustrative unlevered returns".
These valuations, which have been prepared in good faith by Aida, are based
principally on formal valuations supplied to Aida by the administrators of
Aida's underlying investments. In the case where no such formal valuation has
been received, an estimated valuation prepared by the manager or administrator
of the underlying investments has been used. Valuations or estimates are
unaudited and may not comply with generally accepted accounting or valuation
principles. Other risk factors which may be relevant to this valuation are set
out in Aida's prospectus dated 4th March 2008.
On 28th August 2009 side pockets accounted for 6.82% of the total assets
(including cash and amounts due from brokers or underlying funds) of Aida and
7.61% of invested assets.
Investment Manager Comment
During August 2009 the Aida US$ class NAV achieved a performance of +1.0%, the
underlying portfolio before expenses and the costs of leverage achieved a
performance of +1.80%.
Since inception until the end of August 2009 the Aida US$ class NAV has achieved
a performance of +11.49%, the underlying portfolio before leverage and expenses
achieved a performance of +52.35%. Over the same period the S&P 500 has fallen
(9.96)% and the FTSE 100 has fallen (8.16)%.
Of the underlying funds held by Aida only one has reported a negative
performance during August whilst eighteen reported a positive performance.
Restructuring
On 17th December 2008 shareholders approved a change in the strategy of Aida to
eliminate leverage for investment purposes.This was achieved from the 30th June
2009. The fund has been debt free from the 17th July 2009 and has a net cash
position.
A restructuring of Aida was outlined in a circular dated 4th August 2009. At an
EGM on the 24th August 2009 resolutions were passed to: (a) change Aida's
investment policy; (b) adopt revised articles of incorporation to provide,
amongst other things, for the conversion of Euro and Sterling denominated
Ordinary Shares into US Dollar denominated Ordinary Shares; (c) change the name
of Aida to the Aida Closed Ended Fund Limited; and (d) undertake a capital
reorganisation of Aida to create side pocket shares for investments which did
not satisfy the revised investment policy.
On 28th August 2009 Aida ceased hedging of currency classes and as part of the
restructuring of the fund Euro and Sterling shares will be converted to US
Dollar shares at the exchange rates prevailing on 28th August 2009 which, were:
* Sterling to US Dollar: GBP1:$1.63111
* Euro to US Dollar: EUR1:$1.43735
The Euro and Sterling shares will therefore be converted to US Dollar shares
using the following conversion factors:
* For each EUR share investors will receive 1.3590 USD shares
* For each GBP share investors will receive 1.3347 USD shares
