              Polymetis (Πολυμετις) was a standard Homeric epithet
              associated with Odysseus both in The Illiad and in
              The Odyssey. It is derived from the combination of
              poly (many) and metis (skill, wit, cunning, or plan). As
              such, polymetis carries a variety of connotations,
              including resourceful, multi-talented, and well-rounded.

                  What We Believe

                  The value of using alternative investments properly has increased in this new
                  global environment of political, economic, and financial uncertainty

                  The risks of using alternative investments inappropriately have increased in a new
                  global environment

                  A successful alternative investment program requires a meaningful commitment of
                  time and expertise, the allocation of appropriate resources, and substantial
                  experience

                  Alternative investments are appropriate only in the context of a long-term
                  investment program with reasonable goals and defined objectives

                  A number of commonly-held assumptions and beliefs about investing in
                  alternatives have been proven wrong

Polymetis LLC
                  What We Think

                  A successful alternative investment program requires a set of well-defined,
                  highly-organized, dynamic learning structures developed from expertise and
                  experience over time

                  The investment process must continually use feedback to adjust not just the
                  state of knowledge but the actual process of gaining that knowledge

                  The main focus of any manager evaluation must be on the 6 Ps:             people,
                  philosophy, process, procedures, performance, and portfolio

                  Historical understanding and current perspective are useful only to the extent
                  they support an outlook on the future

                  Insight and research are useful only if they can be transferred to the client in a
                  timely and user-friendly fashion
