Strategy
Kingate Euro seeks to obtain capital appreciation through a non-traditional stock/options trading strategy. Typically, the strategy entails the purchase of 45 to 50 large-cap S&P 100 stocks and the simultaneous sale of out-of-the- money calls on the S&P 100 Index and the purchase of out-of-the-money or at-the-money puts on the S&P 100 Index. The strategy aims to limit losses when stock prices decline while still affording an upside potential that is capped to the strike price of the short call when stock prices rise. The long put/short call position constitutes a "synthetic" short of the market, which provides a hedge against the long stock positions. The assets in the portfolio are denominated in US Dollars, but all exposure of US Dollars to Euro is eliminated by passive hedging with USD/Euro forwards.

September Commentary
Kingate Euro closed the month of September with a gain of +1.41% after fees. It has returned +6.97% net year to date. The S&P 100 Index hedged into Euros fell -8.41% in September, and is now down -20.64% so far for 2008. The fund started the month of September approximately 60% invested in the typical basket of S&P 100 Index stocks, long the related S&P 100 Index puts and short S&P 100 Index calls, with the rest of the portfolio invested in Treasury bills. In the second week of the month the fund decreased its exposure by approximately 40%, and subsequently proceeded to sell the remainder of the basket of S&P 100 Index stocks (and closing out the related S&P 100 Index option positions) on the 19th September. No further trading was done, and the portfolio ended the month 100% invested in Treasury bills. In September, puts and calls provided the majority of the gain in the portfolio. Other contributors included gains on Treasury bills, dividends and a small foreign exchange gain due to hedging. Equities detracted from performance this month.

* Performance figures for the S&P 500 (Euro hedged) and HFRI Market Neutral (Euro Hedged) (benchmarks) from January 31, 1996 to December 31, 1999 have been hedged into Deutschemarks. From January 31, 2000 the performance figures of the benchmarks have been hedged into Euros.
