Executive Summary

The principal purpose of the Triton Capital Fund, L.P. is to grow investors capital using a variety of
proprietary trading methodologies that are designed to deliver superior returns while simultaneously
insulating the investor from an increasingly volatile and hostile investing environment.

The Triton Capital Fund, L.P. seeks to provide investors with strong performance without the danger
inherent in long-only investment strategies such as a standard mutual fund buy and hold or dollar cost
averaging which rely solely on purchasing stocks.

The Triton Capital Fund, L.P. can be defined as a Global/Macro Long/Short hybrid hedge fund that
seeks to provide investors with a better alternative than traditional buy and hold investment strategies.

The Triton Capital Fund, L.P.s Investment Advisor, Triton Capital Investment Advisors, Inc. tends to
employ an opportunistic strategy, nimble enough to navigate volatile markets, in order to make profits,
regardless of the direction of the global markets.

The success of the Triton Capital, LLC pilot fund, which returned investors 125.02% over 29 months (vs.
23.4% for the Dow Industrials), prompted the creation of the Triton Capital Fund, L.P. in August of 2005.

Bowen C. Farrell is the President and CEO of the Triton Capital Fund L.P.s Investment Advisor. Mr.
Farrell has been trading securities since 1978, and is a career investment banker schooled at the Harvard
Business School. Mr. Farrell researched, developed, and made all decisions for the Triton Capital pilot fund.

Executive Summary

Objective
The objective of the Triton Capital Fund, L.P is to seek capital appreciation for its investors by
applying its understanding of micro-economic factors affecting individual securities amidst the
global macro-economic environment.
Each security has valuation metrics, which include discounted and free cash flow analysis,
GAAP earnings, price multiples (price/sales, price/earnings, price/book, price/EBITDA,
etc.), volatility, and technical trading factors that may be considered and compared.
Global macroeconomic factors such as industrial and demographic trends, interest rates,
currency rates, governmental monetary policy, and pricing anomalies may also be
simultaneously considered to determine if they will benefit or detract from the value of an
individual security.

Investment Strategy
The strategy of the Partnership is to optimize asset allocation, investing in securities (long
positions) with improving prospects and risk adjusted returns, and divesting securities the
Partnership holds (or taking short positions) with lesser expected returns or higher risks. The
General Partner intends to employ a flexible investment approach to asset allocation that will
allow rapid adjustments to changing market circumstances.

Market Risks Facing Investors Today

Recent Changes in Market Dynamics


For many individuals and institutions, timing the market has been increasingly difficult, as the
markets have become more volatile due to more rapid information flow, computerized buy
and sell programs (program trading), portfolio insurance strategies, and trend trading.

Increased Volatility
Rising markets have been followed by quick downturns, often caused by factors that have
little impact on a specific security. Investors now face new and extraordinary economic and
geo-political risks such as terrorism, nuclear proliferation, massive trade and budget deficits,
increasing leverage, asset bubbles, and more. These extraordinary factors can make investing
even more dangerous, as globalization and information flow has caused even distant markets
to often trade in the same direction, rendering few safe harbors for investors.

Buy and Hold Strategies Disappoint Investors


Investors who have chosen the buy and hold strategy used by most mutual funds have found
themselves euphoric at times, and depressed shortly after, as the markets swing up and down
more quickly than they have historically.

Additional Event Risks Facing Investors Today

Geo-Political Risks
Even though investors may understand the classic
macro-economic risks facing investors today and
apply that knowledge to investing strategies, geo-
political risks such as terrorist attacks like 9/11 also
can cause markets to collapse without notice.

Risk of Unpredictability
Terrorism has injected a new element into the
investment landscape, which is impossible to
dimension, impossible to predict, and impossible to
prepare for using standard buy and hold investment
strategies.

All these factors have given US investors an equity market exposed to above-normal
external risks, which render a buy and hold investment strategy obsolete.

Triton Capital Funds Solution to
Obsolete Buy and Hold Strategies

The Triton Solution


The Triton Capital Fund, L.P. seeks high returns in the global securities marketplace without
exposing investors to the full force of unpredictable event risks like a terrorist attack.

Investors in the Triton Capital Fund, L.P. would hold simultaneous long and short
positions in different securities in an attempt to mitigate event risk exposure.

This investment strategy seeks to profit from the increasing spread between the value of
securities owned, which the fund believes to be undervalued, and the slower growth or
decline in securities sold short by the fund.

Thus, the Triton Capital Fund, L.P. is considered to be a Global/Macro Long/Short


hybrid hedge fund, as our changing global landscape now appears to mandate.

9
Long/Short Hedging

Defined by Example First Day


Below is a theoretical example of the performance of a hedged investment given a devastating
overall market decline of 50%, declines of both ABC Corp. and XYZ Corp. stocks, but with
XYZ Corp. declining greater.

In this example, the investor is net neutral, having taken a position where his long and short
positions are equal on the first day. Assume a market index is trading at 100 on this day.

Index Value - 100

Purchase 2000 Shares of ABC Corp. at $25/share $50,000 (cash out)


Sell Short 1000 Shares of XYZ Corp. at $50/share + $50,000 (cash in)
Net Cash Used (1) $0

(1)An obligation to deliver shares of XYZ Corp. that were borrowed, then sold, is established at the time the short position
is established. This obligation is then eliminated when the shares are later purchased and delivered to the lender.

10
Long/Short Hedging

Defined by Example Subsequent Day(s)


At a subsequent time, assume the market index declines by 50% (from an index value of 100 to
50) after a calamitous event. The investor then unwinds his short position (he needs to
purchase XYZ Corp. stock to repay the XYZ Corp. stock borrowed and sold on the First Day),
and sells his stock in ABC Corp.
Even though ABC Corp. stock lost 20% of its value, the value of the short position in XYZ
Corp. offset the loss, and even yielded a $20,000 gain for the combined trade. In this example,
the investor profits even after a 50% decline in the market index.

Index Value - 50

Sell 2000 Shares of ABC Corp. at $20/share + $40,000 (cash in)


Purchase 1000 shares XYZ Corp. at $20/share $20,000 (cash out)
Net Gain (2) + $20,000 (profit)

(2)
This simple example was designed to illustrate how an investor can make money using a hedged strategy even in a severely
declining market. In reality, the Triton Capital Fund, L.P.s Global/Macro Long/Short Hedge Fund will not be perfectly net
neutral, but will seek to be net long in periods of stock price appreciation and net short in periods of stock price depreciation,
while at the same time offering investors more protection from unforeseen economic or geo-political events than most un-hedged
portfolios.

11
Simple Examples of Hedging Strategies

Primary Goal
The primary goal in the Triton Capital Fund, L.P. is to capitalize on the relative price
performance of securities chosen to buy vs. those chosen to sell short.
The matching of securities for long and short positions can also take many different forms,
some more closely hedged than others. Below are some simple examples of hedging
strategies.

Long Position vs. Short Position Description of Hedge


IBM Corp. Microsoft Hardware vs. Software

Dow Index Russell 2000 Large Cap vs. Small Cap

Exxon/Mobil BP/Amoco Company vs. Company

Altria Cisco Dividend vs. Growth

US Dollar Euro Currency vs. Currency

Above are some examples used for illustrative purposes only, and do not necessarily reflect the current opinion of
the Triton Capital Fund, L.P. management.

12
Securities Used by the Triton Capital Fund

Investment Strategy
The Triton Capital Fund, L.P. does not limit itself to domestic equity investments as shown in
the simple example of long/short hedging. In fact, the securities utilized in its investment
strategy may also include certain non-equity asset classes such as:

Bonds Real Estate


Options Foreign Currencies
Commodities Exchange Traded Funds
Mutual Funds

This may be especially true in times when the equity markets appear to have diminished
volatility or when these investments are more appropriate.

Although the Triton Capital Fund, L.P. seeks to offer event risk protection by hedging, it is
intended that the Fund will be net long in markets it considers undervalued, and net short in
markets it considers overvalued, in an effort to enhance portfolio performance.

13
Investment Analysis Techniques

Analysis Techniques
Within the structure of a Global/Macro Long/Short Hybrid fund, the Triton Capital Fund, L.P.
utilizes a proprietary investment strategy which may include, but is not limited to, the following
types of securities analysis:

Industrial and Demographic trends DCF and Free Cash Flow analysis
Currency Exchange Rates Financial Statement and Leverage Analysis
Governmental Monetary Policy Price/Sales, Price/Earnings, Price/EBITDA

Risk-Return Performance Analysis

Risk-Adjusted Performance Measure


The Sharpe Ratio quantifies the return of an investment portfolio in excess of a risk free rate
(the 90-day Treasury-bill), relative to the risk taken in achieving those returns. The higher the
Sharpe Ratio, the better performance relative to the risk taken.
