GDTF versus Discretionary and Systematic Funds

� GDTF offers a hybrid strategy, between Discretionary and Systematic Trend/Non-Trend Managers

� GDTF has low to negative correlation vs. discretionary

hedge funds*

� High conviction style, combined with benefits of time

cycle analysis

� GDTF will not ‘build’ into trades and tolerate wider losses

per trade (max trade loss for each position is up to 3% or

less of invested NAV). Normal trading in a ranging market

is 1% of NAV and 2% in a trending market

� GDTF has low to negative correlation vs. systematic trend

and non-trend hedge funds* - reflects GDTF’s adaptive

characteristics to market conditions

� If potential for trend reversal or range bound markets

grows, GDTF can go 100% to cash

� GDTF can react to and profit from short term trends or

ranging markets and is not constrained by long term

trends

� GDTF does not need a diversified ‘portfolio construction’

approach – or need to rely on complex risk management

models to identify and control risk

AppendixSummary Performance Analysis Investment Approach Fund Overview

Analysis / idea generation

� Discretionary strategy aims to identify and benefit from distinct trends in a wide range of liquid futures markets –without being tied to any particular time frame

� Trading ideas are discussed daily amongst the investment team, supported by our proprietary analysis. The investment team meets monthly to review performance and determine key opportunities the Fund may exploit.

� Research focuses solely on leading indicators: starting point for analysis is Time (not Price)

� All market analysis begins with the long term Monthly chart and progresses to Weekly, Daily and Hourly charts to determine the market status in an historical context and identify points at which changes or continuation to existing trends can be expected

� The time frame for a trade is determined whether a market is ranging or trending

� While we believe our proprietary time based analysis gives an edge, our trading does not rely solely on this

� We believe time cycle analysis is a crucial edge over other directional based trading strategies

Risk management disciplines

� Transparent and repeatable process, with robust risk management (clear, quantifiable profit & loss levels)

� Positions only taken in keeping with main trend of a market

� Every position has a stop loss when the position is opened, placed ‘Good Till Cancelled’ (and where appropriate, ‘Good All Markets’)

� All positions carry an equal risk to stop loss

� Each position sizing based on ‘risk to stop loss’ of up to 3% or less of invested NAV

� Pyramid trades only implemented when the stop loss of original position becomes profitable and a fresh signal to enter a trade is generated

� Further pyramids are based on the same rule, taking into account the proximity of the profit stop

AppendixSummary Performance Analysis Investment Approach Fund Overview

MSCI World Index: The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure global developed market equity performance. As

of June 2006 the MSCI World Index consisted of the following 23 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France,

Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the

United States.

The HFRX Indices ("HFRX") are a series of benchmarks of hedge fund industry performance which are engineered to achieve representative performance of a larger universe

of hedge fund strategies. Hedge Fund Research, Inc. ("HFR, Inc.") employs the HFRX Methodology, a proprietary and highly quantitative process by which hedge funds are

selected as constituents for the HFRX Indices. This methodology includes robust classification, cluster analysis, correlation analysis, advanced optimization and Monte Carlo

simulations. More specifically, the HFRX Methodology defines certain qualitative characteristics, such as: whether the fund is open to transparent fund investment and the

satisfaction of the index manager's due diligence requirements. Production of the HFRX Methodology results in a model output which selects funds that, when aggregated

and weighted, have the highest statistical likelihood of producing a return series that is most representative of the reference universe of strategies. Macro strategies

attempt to identify extreme price valuations in stock markets, interest rates, foreign exchange rates and physical commodities, and make leveraged bets on the anticipated

price movements in these markets. To identify extreme price valuations, trading managers generally employ a top-down global approach that concentrates on forecasting

how global macroeconomic and political events affect the valuations of financial instruments. These approaches may be systematic trends following models, or

discretionary. The strategy has a broad investment mandate, with the ability to hold positions in practically any market with any instrument. Profits are made by correctly

anticipating price movements in global markets and having the flexibility to use any suitable investment approach to take advantage of extreme price valuations. Trading

managers may use a focused approach or diversify across approaches. Often, they will pursue a number of base strategies to augment their selective large directional bets.

The Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50 Index is a free-float market capitalization-weighted index of 50 European blue-chip stocks from those countries participating in the

European Monetary Union. Each component’s weight is capped at 10% of the index’s total free float market capitalization. The index was developed with a base value of

1000 as of December 31, 1991.

Standard & Poor's 500 is a basket of 500 stocks that are considered to be widely held. The S&P 500 index is weighted by market value, and its performance is thought to be

representative of the stock market as a whole. The S&P 500 index was created in 1957, although it has been extrapolated backwards to several decades earlier for

performance comparison purposes. This index provides a broad snapshot of the overall U.S. equity market; in fact, over 70% of all U.S. equity is tracked by the S&P 500. The

index selects its companies based upon their market size, liquidity, and sector. Most of the companies in the index are solid mid cap or large cap corporations.

There are significant differences between the Fund's investments and the investments of the indices described above. The Funds may use leverage and invest in securities

that have a greater degree of risk and volatility, as well as less liquidity, than those securities contained in the indices. Moreover, the indices are not subject to any of the

fees or expenses that the Fund will incur. It should not be assumed that the Fund will invest in any specific securities that comprise any index, nor should it be understood

to mean that there is a correlation between the Fund's returns and the returns of any index. The indices are included for informational purposes only.

Appendix Peer Group AnalysisFor professional/sophisticated investors only

An investment in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The Fund may, through its investments, employ certain trading techniques that may include short selling, options, and the use of leverage which may increase the risk of investment loss. As a result, performance may be volatile and an investor may lose some or all of his or her investment. Furthermore, the ability to withdraw investments or redeem shares or to transfer such shares or interests will be limited. It is anticipated that there will not be a secondary market for interests or shares in the Fund nor is any expected to develop. Fees and expenses may offset trading profits. Please refer to the Confidential Private Offering Memorandum when available for all risks associated with investments in the Fund. Certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements. Due to various uncertainties and actual events, including those discussed herein and in the offering documents, actual results or performance of the Ermitage Global Dynamic Trading Fund (the "Fund"); a Cayman Islands limited liability company, may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated in such forward-looking statements. As a result, investors should not rely on such forward-looking statements in making their investment decisions. There can be no assurance that the investment objectives described herein will be achieved. Investment losses may occur, and investors could lose some or all of their investment.
