JFSC ANNEX
 

1.  
The Trading Advisor is licensed and regulated for the conduct of “fund services
business” by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (the “JFSC”), and/or any
successor authority carrying out all or part of the relevant functions thereof
applicable to the business to which this Agreement relates under the Financial
Services (Jersey) Law, 1998, as amended (the “FSJL”).

2.  
The Trading Advisor hereby covenants with the Fund and the Manager that for so
long as this Agreement remains in force it shall carry out its duties and
obligations and exercise its powers and discretions under this Agreement in
accordance with the FSJL and the Codes of Practice for fund services business
promulgated by the JFSC and as amended and updated from time to time (the
“COP”).

3.  
In addition to the Manager’s and Fund’s representations and warranties set out
in Section 10 the following representation shall be added both as a new Section
10(b)(viii) and as a new Section 10(c)(vii):

 
“the following QSMA Warning has been received from the Trading Advisor:

QSMA WARNING

Systematica Investments Limited (the “Operator”) intends to provide
discretionary investment management services (the “Services”) to you, its
client(s), in connection with a segregated managed account which it is intended
will be a Qualifying Segregated Managed Account (a “QSMA”) pursuant to the
provisions of the Financial Services (Investment Business (Qualifying Segregated
Managed Accounts – Exemption)) (Jersey) Order 2014 (the “QSMA Order”). In
respect of its provision of the Services in connection with your QSMA, the
Operator, when in compliance with the conditions specified in the QSMA Order,
will be subject to only some, and importantly therefore not all, of the
provisions of the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998, as amended (the “Law”).
The Operator would not, in such circumstances, be registered by the Commission
in respect of its provision of the Services even though the Operator may be
registered pursuant to the Law to conduct investment business. Additionally,
whilst the Operator is required by the QSMA Order to be registered pursuant to
the Law to conduct fund services business in at least one relevant class of such
activity, such licensing will not apply to the Operator’s activities and
provision of the Services in connection with your QSMA.

Participation in a QSMA in respect of which the Operator is placing reliance on
the QSMA Order (such QSMA, a “Relevant QSMA”) is only suitable for professional
or highly sophisticated and experienced investors. In addition, participation in
a Relevant QSMA is intended only for those making the prescribed minimum
financial contribution or commitment of US$1 million (or currency equivalent).
(If you intend to become a joint owner of a Relevant QSMA but your own financial
contribution would be less than such amount, you should take particular care to
ensure that participation in such QSMA is suitable for you). Investment in a
Relevant QSMA may involve special risks that could lead to the loss of all or a
substantial portion of your investment as well as the possibility of incurring
financial liabilities in excess of your investment. You are wholly responsible
for ensuring that all aspects of your proposed participation in a Relevant QSMA
and the risks involved are acceptable to you.

It must be distinctly understood that the Jersey Financial Services Commission:
(i) has not evaluated or approved your QSMA; and (ii) does not take any
responsibility for the financial soundness of a party’s participation in a
Relevant QSMA or for the correctness of any

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

statements made, or opinions expressed, with regard to the same by any party.
The Commission is protected by the Law against liability arising from the
discharge of its functions thereunder.”
 
4.  
In addition to the termination provisions set out in Sections 7(b)(i), 7(b)(ii),
7(b)(iii) and 7(b)(iv) of this Agreement, the following two provisions shall be
incorporated as new Sections 7(b)(v) and 7(b)(vi):

“(v) the Trading Advisor may terminate this Agreement upon notice in writing to
the Fund if the Fund requests categorisation as a retail client (as defined in
the COP) either generally or in specific circumstances; and

(vi) this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the Trading Advisor ceasing
to be licensed and regulated by the JFSC.”
