5 Investment Performance:

          The Balanced Portfolio is a model portfolio/asset allocation program.  This Portfolio may not reflect an investor’s actual portfolio as
actual portfolios reflect each investor’s own objectives and risk tolerances.  The performance of the Portfolio is based on the weighted
performance over the respective periods of the Aetos Capital SEC-Registered Funds, weighted according to the allocations in effect
during the periods for the Portfolio as indicated above.  Performance figures shown are net of investment advisory and performance fees
of 1.00% of assets annually and 10% of profits above the three month Treasury bill return, respectively, the maximum level of fees
charged by Aetos to any account.  The returns also reflect Fund level expenses, some of which have been waived and/or reimbursed by
the Investment Adviser.  Returns would have been lower without such waivers and reimbursements.  Past performance is not indicative
of future returns.

          Absolute return investing involves substantial risks, including the risk of loss of invested capital.  Absolute return investments are
typically made through investments in illiquid, unregulated investment funds that employ sophisticated investment techniques, often
involving derivatives and leverage, in a wide range of financial instruments and markets.  These investments entail a wide variety of
risks, which remain substantial notwithstanding the risk management practices we employ in selecting and monitoring funds we invest
in. 

          Prospective investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, and the charges and expenses discussed above carefully
before investing.  The prospectus contains this and other information; a free copy of the prospectus may be obtained by calling
212-201-2540.  Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
