AETOS CAPITAL
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 the funds in
which we invest. Potential investors in absolute return vehicles are urged to familiarize themselves with these risks before investing.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
 We partner with clients to provide tailored solutions across the spectrum of hedge fund strategies
 We integrate risk management into all aspects of the investment process focusing on manager, operational, portfolio,
 and strategy/investment risk
 We follow an investment process which combines excellence in research, risk management, manager due
 diligence, and portfolio construction
to increase the probability of consistent and uncorrelated investment results
 We maintain a bias towards fundamentally oriented managers and complement experienced and established firms
 with emerging talent
 We focus on managers with demonstrated investment and business skill, deep organizations, sustainable
 performance, and consistent risk profiles
 We determine the allocation to hedge fund strategies and managers merging quantitative and qualitative factors,
 using mean-variance optimization tools, reviewing correlations among managers and incorporating position limits,
 ranges and liquidity constraints
 We invest with managers who provide portfolio transparency and access to principals affording a clear
 understanding of each manager’s investment strategy, competitive advantage, and underlying drivers of returns
