3. Risks of Hedge Fund Investing
Investors should be aware that an investment in a hedge fund, including a fund of hedge funds (“fund”), may be speculative, illiquid and involve a substantial element of
risk. Such an investment is suitable only for consideration by qualified subscribers who, at a minimum, are Accredited Investors (as defined by SEC) and only for a limited
portion of the risk segment of such subscriber's portfolio. Prospective investors should consider the following risk factors in evaluating the merits and suitability of an
investment in a fund. However, please be aware that this list of risk factors is not exhaustive.
Speculative. No Guaranteed Return of Capital. An investment in a fund is generally considered speculative and involve a substantial degree of risk. No assurance can be
given that a fund will achieve its overall investment objective of seeking substantial capital appreciation. Investors are at risk of losing all or a substantial amount of their
investments in a fund.
Limited Operating History. A fund could have limited operating history and the underlying managers may have limited or no operating histories.
Limited Access to Information on Investments. The investment manager may only have limited information with regard to the actual underlying investments made by the
managers and may have little or no means of verifying information provided by managers.
Limited Rights. Investors in a fund may have limited rights with respect to their investment interest, including limited voting rights and limited participation in
management of the Alternative Investments.
Illiquid Investment. Interests in a fund generally are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer and have limited liquidity.
Use of Non-Traditional Investment Techniques. Various risks are associated with the securities and other investments in which managers may invest and the specialized
investment techniques which they may use.
Potential for Lack of Diversification. Although a fund sometimes intends to invest with several managers, managers may, inadvertently, hold the same investments thereby
making a fund's investments more concentrated than anticipated.
Use of Leverage. Investment managers may use leverage, including borrowing to buy securities on margin. A fund will indirectly bear this financial risk to the extent it
invests with managers which may choose to employ leverage.
Fees and Expenses. Investors in the Fund will bear fees, expenses and performance-based allocations at the Fund level and also at the manager level. The fees and
performance-based allocations payable by the Fund and its investors are higher than the fees typically charged by registered mutual funds.
Conflicts of Interest. Investors in a fund will rely on the experience and judgment of the investment manager and sponsor, who may be subject to certain conflicts of
interests.
Country of Citizenship or Domicile. Investors in a fund are urged to seek appropriate advice regarding any applicable legal requirements and any applicable taxation and
exchange control regulations in the county of their citizenship, residence or domicile, which may be relevant to the subscription, purchase, holding, exchange, redemption or
disposal of any fund.
Lack of Management Control by Investors. Investors cannot take part in the management or control of a fund’s business. The investment manager will have wide latitude in
making investment decisions.
Certain Tax Risks. An investment in a fund may involve certain tax risks. In addition, potential delays in manager reporting may require limited partners to seek extensions
of the deadline to file their tax returns.
Tax Structure. Certain funds may have complex tax structures and may not distribute annual tax information prior to April 15 of each year, thereby requiring investors in
funds to obtain extensions for filing tax returns each year.
Regulatory Oversight. Many funds are not, nor, generally, are their underlying portfolio funds, registered as investment companies under the U.S. Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in an investment in a fund including the Rye Select Broad Market Portfolio
Limited. Prospective investors are urged to read the entire offering memorandum of any fund in which such investor may seek to invest.

22. Definitions
• Alpha
– A measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. Alpha takes the volatility (price risk) of a
mutual fund and compares its risk-adjusted performance to a benchmark index. The excess
return of the fund relative to the return of the benchmark index is a fund's alpha.
• Beta
– A measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the
market as a whole.
• Sharpe Ratio
– A ratio developed by Nobel laureate William F. Sharpe to measure risk-adjusted
performance. The Sharpe ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate - such as that of
the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond - from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result
by the standard deviation of the portfolio returns.
• Correlation
– In the world of finance, a statistical measure of how two securities move in relation to each
other. Correlations are used in advanced portfolio management.
• Volatility
– A statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility
can either be measured by using the standard deviation or variance between returns from that
same security or market index. Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security.
• S&P 500 DRI Index
– The S&P 500 is one of the most commonly used benchmarks for the overall U.S. stock market.
The benchmark is an index of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry
grouping, among other factors. The S&P 500 is designed to be a leading indicator of U.S.
equities and is meant to reflect the risk/return characteristics of the large cap universe.
Companies included in the index are selected by the S&P Index Committee, a team of analysts
and economists at Standard & Poor's. The S&P 500 is a market value weighted index - each
stock's weight in the index is proportionate to its market value.
