Past performance as well as third party awards and ratings are not a guarantee of future results. Current and prospective investors should not assume that the future performance of any Crestline fund will equal its prior performance results or the results of any previous fund with a similar strategy, and investors risk loss of their entire investment. Each fund’s performance results portrayed reflect the deduction of that fund’s advisory fees, brokerage commissions and other expenses. The performance results also include the reinvestment of income and dividends, in investment vehicles where such are applicable. For each Crestline fund, an individual investor’s returns will vary from the historical performance due to restrictions on participation in certain types of investments and due to the timing of subscriptions, withdrawals, and redemptions.
Within a particular strategy, Crestline may offer a domestic fund and an offshore fund (“Funds”) that are managed pari passu. In such cases the Funds managed by Crestline will have investment objectives that are identical or substantially similar. It is not anticipated, however, that the Funds managed by Crestline having identical or substantially similar investment objectives will have identical or substantially similar investment portfolios. Differing investment portfolios can be expected to result from several factors, including, without limitation, the following:
As a result of factors such as these, Funds that are managed pari passu may have a different investment portfolio (and, as a result, different performance results) even though the funds may have identical or substantially similar investment objectives.
The targeted returns are forward-looking statements that are subject to uncertainties described further in the relevant offering memorandum. The targeted returns are based on research conducted by Crestline and the conclusions are Crestline’s opinions based on its own independent study. The return targets are supported by various quantitative measures including 1) the actual track record of the funds, 2) back-tested returns of a pro-forma portfolio using the fund’s current asset allocation and 3) a forecast return calculated using a third-party risk model. For further information on targeted returns including input data and calculation methodology please contact Client Servicing. While Crestline believes that the return targets are supportable, there is no guarantee that the funds will achieve the targeted returns. The targeted rates of return included in this presentation are hypothetical returns, and are for illustrative purposes only. Accordingly, no assumptions or comparisons should be made based upon these returns. Targeted returns are subject to inherent limitations, including but not limited to the fact that the returns do not take into account the impact that market and economic risks may have on investment decision trading. In some circumstances the funds have experienced materially different investment results than the targeted returns, and all targeted returns should be viewed together with the actual returns also included in this presentation. In no circumstances should the targeted returns be regarded as a representation, warranty or prediction that the fund will reflect any particular performance or that it will achieve or is likely to achieve any particular result or that investors will be able to avoid losses, including total losses of their investment.
Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the dispersion of a fund's monthly returns. The greater the standard deviation, the greater a fund's volatility. The indices presented herein (including, but not limited to the Russell 2000, S&P 500, and NASDAQ 100) indices are diversified indices of equity securities, while the Funds managed by Crestline invest in other private investment funds. Due to the differences between the funds’ portfolios and the composition of the aforementioned indices, Crestline cautions investors that no such index is directly comparable to the funds. The indices provided herein have not been selected to represent an appropriate benchmark but rather are used to allow for comparison of standard deviations to that of well-known and widely recognized indices.
Correlations to the performance of the indices presented herein (including, but not limited to the Barclays Capital Aggregate Index, S&P 500 Index, and HFR Fund of Fund Conservative Index) are shown for comparison purposes only. The securities included in those indices are not necessarily included in the portfolios of the investment funds in which Crestline funds invest and criteria for inclusion in those indices are different and not limited to particular investment strategies. In addition, investors may not invest directly in an index. Therefore, the returns of Crestline funds and the returns of such indices may not be comparable.
Some material herein may include charts and graphs depicting the performance of various indices and highlighting market conditions. Such charts and graphs are shown for informational purposes only. The securities included in those indices are not necessarily included in the portfolios of the investment funds in which Crestline funds invest and criteria for inclusion in those indices are different and not limited to particular investment strategies. In addition, investors may not invest directly in an index. Therefore, the returns of Crestline funds and the returns of such indices may not be comparable.
Principal executive officers of Crestline are also associated with Bratton Capital Management, LP (“BCM”) a firm that acts as the investment adviser and general partner to single family-office-related investments. Crestline and BCM are under common control.

General Risks of Investing in the Crestline Funds
An investment in the Funds is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Crestline Management, L.P., is a federally registered investment adviser and serves as the investment manager to the domestic and offshore hedge fund of funds. Crestline Canada, Inc., an affiliate, is investment adviser to Canadian “beta” overlay trust clients and to Crestline Management, L.P. with respect to certain “beta” overlay services. Crestline Canada provides portfolio overlay and hedging execution capabilities to client portfolios as well as Crestline’s diversified fund of hedge funds. Crestline Investors, Inc., Crestline Management, L.P. and Crestline Canada, Inc. are individually and collectively referred to herein as “Crestline” or “the Firm.” Crestline’s investment funds (the “Funds”) utilize a fund of funds investment approach whereby Fund assets are allocated among portfolio managers. As a result, the success of the Funds is dependent on the portfolio managers’ ability to develop and implement investment strategies that achieve the Funds’ investment strategies. The Funds are not subject to regulatory restrictions or oversight. The principals of Crestline Investors, Inc. are Douglas K. Bratton, John Cochran and Caroline Cooley (the “Principals”). The success of the Funds’ investment program will also depend on the expertise of the Principals in choosing portfolio managers. If the Principals were to cease to be associated with the Funds it is likely that the success of their investment program would be adversely affected. The Funds, particularly Crestline Plus, employ leverage, which among other investment techniques, can make their investment performance volatile. Opportunities for redemptions and transferability of interests in the Funds are restricted so investors may not have access to their capital if and when it is needed. There is no secondary market for an investor’s interest in the Funds and none is expected to develop. The Funds’ management fees, incentive fees/allocations, and expenses, may offset their trading profits. An investor should not invest in the Funds unless it is prepared to lose all or a substantial portion of its investment.
Crestline Europe, LLP
COMMITMENT TO THE SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS DIRECTIVE (“SRD II”)
To the extent the Firm is investing on behalf of investors in shares traded on a EEA regulated market or comparable markets, under COBS 2.2B.5R of the Financial Conduct Authority's (“FCA”) Conduct of Business Sourcebook, Crestline Europe, LLP (“Crestline” or the "Firm"), is required to publicly disclose a clear and reasoned explanation of why it has chosen not to:
Crestline Europe, LLP is currently operating under an Advisory Mandate, and as such is not managing the investments of shares traded on EEA and other comparable markets. Crestline Europe, LLP is a participating affiliate of Crestline Management, L.P., an investment adviser registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and assists Crestline with investment diligence and analysis on certain primarily European opportunities within Crestline’s opportunistic strategies. Crestline’s opportunistic investment strategy is designed to capitalize on market inefficiencies and dislocations caused by banking regulations, rules‐based investors in private debt, private equity, venture capital, and hedge fund strategies that eliminate investments outside of tightly defined mandates, and market volatility. Crestline will seek to provide capital solutions to under‐served or capital constrained asset classes, including small and medium‐sized businesses, out‐of‐favor sectors or assets, companies in some form of transition, and stressed or special situations. As such, exposure to listed companies is generally not a part of Crestline’s opportunistic strategy.
While the Firm generally supports the objectives that underlie SRD II, the investment strategy, and the nature of the financial instruments used to execute the strategy do not embrace engagement with investee companies, and the Firm does not consider that its clients expect such engagement.
