The value for “assets under management” currently includes assets from managed accounts, pooled managed funds, transparent funds, and assets under administration by AlphaMetrix and its affiliates. This value may change at any time and without notice. Alternative investment products, including hedge funds and managed futures, involve a high degree of risk. Alternative investment products can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Alternative investment products often execute a substantial portion of their trades on non-US exchanges. Investing in non-U.S. markets may entail risks that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. markets.
