Investment Philosophy and Strategy

Three Palms is committed to providing prudent investment strategies designed to meet both private and institutional investor's need for
portfolio diversification and capital growth. Our collective beliefs regarding the nature of capital markets and portfolio management are in
effect a concise statement of our investment philosophy:



      We believe investment opportunities are not limited to traditional markets, strategies or instruments. Properly diversified portfolios
      should include participation in Alternative Investments.

      We believe allocating a portion of investable assets to Alternative Investments is the key to consistent overall portfolio performance.

      We believe successful participation in this sector requires the specialized knowledge and portfolio management expertise of
      professional Alternative Investment managers.

      We believe that our commitment to the research and evaluation of Alternative Investment strategies and opportunities is paramount to
      our success.

      We believe a multi‐manager, multi‐strategy approach is critical to consistent overall portfolio performance.

      We believe in a dynamic investment management approach designed to optimize performance and reduce volatility by strategically
      allocating and periodically re‐balancing assets among selected Alternative Investment strategies and managers.

On the foundation of these beliefs, we structure, implement and manage Alternative Investment programs designed to add value to a private
or institutional investor’s overall investment portfolio.
