HOW WE EXTRACT VALUE FROM THE CREDIT MARKET


Today we are in an era of industrial consolidation, in which M&A fosters natural monopolies, efficiency and greater profitability.
The disruptive technologies of the late 1990s have become the profit drivers of today. Leverage is returning to the capital markets, but in a very different way than during 1998-2001. Profits in the U.S. economy have doubled during the past three years and risen strongly world-wide.

Leveraged buyouts are changing the composition of the high yield market. Todays wave of LBOs embodies cautious
application of leverage to established companies with stable and predictable cash flows, in sharp contrast to prior waves of leverage. This year is expected to see $200 billion of issuance of high-yield paper from LBOs, mostly from established firms with very low near-term default probability.

We take long positions where default risk is overcompensated in loans, bonds, and credit derivatives of established and secure
companies that borrow to finance LBOs. We take short positions in overpriced liquid instruments.

We exploit the steep credit spread curve and the low near-term default rate, through structures that pay the five-year credit spread
but are callable in two years. In effect, we put our investors money at risk for only two years, but earn the generous risk compensation for five-year maturities. Innovations such as the hybrid cash-flow synthetic CLO allow us to mine the cheapest parts of the credit market. We choose every credit in the portfolio and control the entire structure. That gives our investors an optimal combination of income and flexibility.

The global carry trade has compressed credit spreads in the liquid traded credit indices. We use liquid indices, credit and equity
options, and other assets to neutralize the market risk in our portfolio.

HOW WE EARN DOUBLE-DIGIT RETURNS WITH MARKET NEUTRALITY


We are co-lenders with commercial banks that finance LBOs, but with important advantages: Unlike banks, we do not have to compete for customers, and can cherry-pick credits that offer very low default probability and
reject names that do not suit our requirements.

We are not locked in to credits. We can employ credit derivatives rather than outright bonds or loans to increase our flexibility.
Our credit structures can be unwound in two years, permitting us to exit investments long before potential credit problems might manifest themselves.

As an offshore fund, we do not have the regulatory constraints that affect bank risk management, and can use a much wider range
of techniques to neutralize portfolio market risk.

We operate with far less overhead than banks and can pay out far higher dividends to our investors.

RISK MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY


Market neutral: Beta adjusted market directional DV01 kept close to flat across liquid name books. Most jump risk taken in short dated structures and relative value positions. Limited by name and rating across books. Value at Risk: VaR measurement across entire book takes into account portfolio diversification and overlap risk in the
distribution tail.

Scenario Analysis: Overlap between risks in separate books stress-tested and managed. (For example, rises in volatility are often
correlated with both declines in overall market levels as well as declines in junior tranche prices)

HISTORICAL RETURNS ANALYSIS


Glencore International AG funded the investment activities of Glencore Finance AG on a trade-by-basis. For the structured credit returns, a collateral matrix was used to calculate the collateral that would have been required, since Glencore Finance AG worked under credit lines provided by Glencore International AG. Trade performance was evaluated based on the return on equity capital for each investment. Proceeds from the sale of investments (including capital gains) were returned to Glencore's treasury. Unlike an investment fund, realized profits did not serve to increase Glencore Finance AG's funds under management, thus the most meaningful measure of the group's performance is return on average equity capital. Return on average equity capital is computed by dividing gross investment profit by the average equity capital employed during the period (quarterly). Average equity capital equals the average amount of total capital advanced to Glencore Finance AG by its parent during a particular period. In calculating this figure, unrealized investments are marked-to-market on a quarterly basis. The return figures above do not reflect an audited track record. Glencore Finance AG was historically engaged in certain investment strategies which Asteri Capital Ltd (the Fund) will not pursue in the future. These are listed equity investments which do not have typical distressed or event-driven characteristics. The relevant investments in such strategies have been excluded from the returns analysis. All credit investments, distressed, structured and event-driven strategies have been included. Note: In the provided analysis, our investment in Milacron Inc.'s convertible preferred stock has been valued at liquidation preference (plus dividends) until December 31, 2004. Subsequently, we have included a provision in our valuation of the security, which we have applied evenly throughout the period from December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2006.
