Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund, LLC

Fund Commentary

For the year ended January 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

The Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) allocates its assets among a select group of portfolio managers that utilize a variety of arbitrage strategies while seeking to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes.

The Fund includes allocations to event arbitrage, fixed income arbitrage and quantitative strategies. Event arbitrage managers seek to identify mispricings in securities that will be resolved through an anticipated event. Events can include mergers, acquisitions, spinoffs, recapitalizations and bankruptcies (either entering into or emerging from them). Skills required include the ability to analyze the relative value of the securities involved and the probability of the event taking place within an expected timeframe. Fixed income arbitrage managers seek to identify discrepancies in the prices of securities that are very closely related and arbitrage that discrepancy. Quantitative managers pursue a variety of model-driven strategies, including volatility arbitrage and the identification of relative mispricings between currencies, equities, commodities and bonds.

For the year ended January 31, 2016, the Fund had a total return of -3.21%.¹ For the period from commencement of investment activities on September 1, 2002 through January 31, 2016, the Fund had an average annual return of 3.94%.

Fixed income arbitrage realized positive performance. Structured products, including RMBS, continued to be an area of steady gains. Idiosyncratic events in Latin America (including Argentina, Brazil and Mexico) created trading opportunities in sovereign bonds relative to quasi-sovereign corporate credits, providing another source of profits. The Fund’s yield curve manager also contributed gains by capitalizing on fixed income volatility to trade positions in the US and Europe.

Event arbitrage detracted during the period. Merger arbitrage was a source of gains, as deal complexity and regulatory scrutiny enabled our managers to selectively increase allocations on spread volatility. However, gains were offset by losses from long equity positions in Europe, specifically those in peripheral Eurozone banks, and a convertible preferred position in a retailer that has experienced a downturn in business. Credit investments (both performing and distressed) in the energy and metals & mining sectors also detracted.

Quantitative strategies detracted during the period as positive performance from volatility arbitrage was more than offset by losses from relative value commodity trades. The Fund’s allocation to quantitative strategies has recently decreased, reflecting our assessment of the current opportunity set.

Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund, LLC

Fund Commentary

For the year ended January 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

The Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) allocates its assets among a select group of portfolio managers across a variety of credit and distressed investment strategies while seeking to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes.

The Fund allocates to investment managers that buy the securities (generally bonds and bank loans) of companies that are in bankruptcy or in danger of bankruptcy, as well as other assets, such as structured products (including RMBS and CMBS). Managers seek to identify situations where they can buy these securities at a discount to their eventual value because traditional fixed income managers may not want to or be able to own them once they have been downgraded or are in default. The sellers may also not have the expertise and patience to go through a restructuring process. Distressed investing involves credit analysis, legal expertise and (often) negotiating ability, as the manager must determine the value of the underlying securities, the likely timing and resolution of a restructuring / bankruptcy process and also may need to negotiate with other creditors. Additionally, certain managers express their company-specific and market views through shorting, often with credit default swaps.

For the year ended January 31, 2016, the Fund had a total return of -4.30%.¹ For the period from commencement of investment activities on September 1, 2002 through January 31, 2016, the Fund had an average annual return of 7.65%.

The Fund realized losses during the period, as credit markets were a drag on performance (BAML High Yield Master II -6.79% and CS Leveraged Loan -1.36%) and long-biased managers underperformed those with greater short exposure. Positive contributors included long positions in the sovereign debt of Argentina, Icelandic bank liquidations and European telecommunications firms. Short positions in the energy sectors were also profitable; however, they were more than offset by losses from long positions in commodity-sensitive industries including energy, coal, steel and shipping. Debt in the power-generating subsidiary of a bankrupt power producer also detracted as declines in the price of natural gas weighed on the business’s prospects.

Our managers remain cautious about putting capital to work and have been more inclined to raise cash and reduce exposures over the past several months. Looking forward, we believe the landscape for distressed investing will improve in the coming quarters and may provide compelling opportunities to redeploy capital. We have some broader concerns regarding liquidity, however, as the supply of high yield paper has reached multi-year highs at the same time that regulatory changes have contributed to a deleveraging of bank balance sheets and a thinning of dealer inventories. With fewer intermediaries stepping in to make markets, volatility has increased and bid/offer spreads have widened to an extent that has required the riskiness of certain assets to be reassessed.

Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund, LLC

Fund Commentary

For the year ended January 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

The Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) allocates its assets among a select group of portfolio managers across a variety of long/short strategies while seeking to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes. The Fund comprises managers of primarily stock portfolios that are constructed on a bottom-up, fundamental basis.

For the year ended January 31, 2016, the Fund had a total return of 0.90%.¹ For the period from commencement of investment activities on September 1, 2002 through January 31, 2016, the Fund had an average annual return of 4.96%.

The Fund generated gains during a relatively volatile period for equities that saw the S&P 500 and MSCI ACWI decline -0.67% and -6.80%, respectively, as most of our managers, including our short-biased managers, realized positive performance. Since inception, the Fund has realized more than half the performance of the S&P 500 (7.93%) and MSCI ACWI (6.92%) with less than half of their risk, as well as betas to both indices of 0.23.²

Longs positions were flat in the aggregate. Airlines, which performed well during the previous reporting period, continued to perform well, benefiting from industry consolidation and reduced operating costs from lower fuel prices. Certain growth technology companies, particularly those with Internet-related business models, also contributed gains. Meanwhile, a long position in a DRAM company, which had been a substantial contributor in previous reporting periods, detracted as its stock price fell significantly after unexpected delays in the company’s migration to newer manufacturing technology. Other notable detractors included long positions in energy companies, which were hurt by falling commodity prices.

Short positions contributed gains as they underperformed markets to the Fund’s benefit. Gains came principally from three areas: historical “over-earners” (who are now facing greater competition), “concept stocks” (which had previously enjoyed tremendous investor hype but failed to develop sustainable business models), and casinos and luxury goods makers suffering from China’s crackdown on corruption. Despite losses from longs, energy was a net gainer, with notable contributions from shorts in over-leveraged, cashflow-challenged E&P and services companies.

We are pleased that our long/short equity managers were able to navigate increasingly turbulent markets and deliver positive performance during the reporting period. Although 2016 is off to a challenging start, volatility and dispersion, though often painful in the short-term, can create good investment opportunities that reap rewards when conditions improve.

Notes to Financial Statements

January 31, 2016

1. Organization

The Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund, LLC, the Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund, LLC, and the Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund, LLC (collectively the “Funds” and individually a “Fund”) were formed in the state of Delaware as limited liability companies. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as closed-end, non-diversified, management investment companies. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Each Fund is a fund-of-funds. The Funds seek capital appreciation by allocating their assets among a select group of private investment funds (commonly known as hedge funds) (“Portfolio Funds”) that utilize a variety of alternative investment strategies that seek to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes. Aetos Alternatives Management, LLC serves as the Investment Manager to the Funds.

The Funds operate under a master fund/feeder fund structure. Feeder Funds invest substantially all of their investable assets in the Funds. As of January 31, 2016 the Feeder Funds’ beneficial ownership of their corresponding Master Funds’ members’ capital are 90%, 92%, 93% , 2%, 2% and 1%,for the Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Cayman Fund, Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Cayman Fund, Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Cayman Fund, Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Cayman Fund II, Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Cayman Fund II and Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Cayman Fund II respectively. The Investment Manager may receive an additional management fee and/or an incentive fee at the feeder fund level.

The principal investment objective of each Fund is as follows:

Aetos Capital Multi-Strategy Arbitrage Fund, LLC seeks to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes, by allocating its assets among a select group of portfolio managers that utilize a variety of arbitrage strategies.

Aetos Capital Distressed Investment Strategies Fund, LLC seeks to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes, by allocating its assets among a select group of portfolio managers across a variety of distressed investment strategies.

Aetos Capital Long/Short Strategies Fund, LLC seeks to produce an attractive absolute return on invested capital, largely independent of the various benchmarks associated with traditional asset classes, by allocating its assets among a select group of portfolio managers across a variety of long/short strategies.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. Organization (continued)

The Funds may offer, from time to time, to repurchase outstanding members’ interests (“Interests”) pursuant to written tenders by members. The Funds may offer to repurchase Interests four times each year, as of the last business day of March, June, September and December. However, repurchase offers will only be made at such times and on such terms as may be determined by the Funds’ Board of Managers (the “Board”) in its sole discretion.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:

A. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Investment Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.

B. Portfolio Valuation and Security Transactions

The net asset values of the Funds are determined as of the close of business at the end of each month in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below or as may be determined from time to time pursuant to policies established by the Board.

The Investment Manager has established a Valuation Committee that has oversight responsibility for the valuation of each of the Funds’ investments in Portfolio Funds. Members of the Valuation Committee include key members of the Investment Manager’s Senior Management, Compliance, Due Diligence and Risk Management teams.

Investments in Portfolio Funds are presented in the accompanying financial statements at fair value, as determined by the Funds’ Investment Manager under the general supervision of the Board. Such fair value generally represents a Fund’s pro-rata interest in the net assets of a Portfolio Fund as provided by the Portfolio Funds. As a general matter, the fair value of the Funds’ interests in Portfolio Funds will represent the amount that the Funds could reasonably expect to receive from the Portfolio Funds if the Funds’ interests were redeemed at the time of the valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is determined and that the Funds believe to be reliable.

18

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

B. Portfolio Valuation and Security Transactions (continued)

The Investment Manager considers information provided by the Portfolio Funds regarding the methods they use to value underlying investments in the Portfolio Funds and any restrictions on or illiquidity of the interests in the Portfolio Funds, in determining fair value.

Considerable judgment is required to interpret the factors used to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts a Fund could realize in a current market exchange and the differences could be material to the financial statements. The use of different factors or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”).

The FASB issued ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which establishes a fair value hierarchy and specifies that a valuation technique used to measure fair value shall maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation. The levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35-39 to 55 are as follows:

· Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;

· Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.

· Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable.

Inputs broadly refer to assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. ASC Topic 820-10-35-59 permits the Investment Manager to estimate the fair value of the investments in the Portfolio Funds at the net asset value reported by the Portfolio Funds if the net asset value is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of ASC Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Investment Manager evaluates each Portfolio Fund individually to determine that its net asset value is calculated in a manner consistent with ASC 946.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

B. Portfolio Valuation and Security Transactions (continued)

The Investment Manager also considers whether an adjustment to the net asset value reported by the Portfolio Fund is necessary based upon various factors, including, but not limited to, the attributes of the interest in the Portfolio Fund held, including the rights and obligations, and any restrictions on or illiquidity of such interests, and the fair value of such Portfolio Fund’s investment portfolio or other assets and liabilities. The net asset value reported by the Portfolio Funds may be based upon unobservable inputs and a significant change in those unobservable inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher reported net asset value reported for such Portfolio Funds.

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent), as an amendment to ASC Topic 820. The amendments in this ASU apply to reporting entities that elect to measure the fair value of an investment using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient, as the Funds do for their investments in Portfolio Funds. The amendments in this ASU remove the requirement to categorize within the fair valuation hierarchy, as described above, all investments for which the fair value is measured using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the Funds have elected to not measure the fair value.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with application of the amendments noted above retrospectively to all periods presented. The retrospective approach requires that an investment for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient be removed from the fair value hierarchy in all periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. Earlier application of this ASU is permitted. The Investment Manager has reviewed the requirements of the ASU and has determined that early adoption of this ASU would be applied to the relevant disclosures of the Funds.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in the valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to the issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

⁽¹⁾ In accordance with ASU 2015-07 investments in Portfolio Funds that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

C. Fund Income and Expenses

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Each Fund bears its own expenses including, but not limited to, any taxes and investment-related expenses incurred by the Funds (e.g., fees and expenses charged by the Portfolio Managers and Portfolio Funds, professional fees, custody and administrative fees). Most expenses of the Funds can be directly attributed to a particular Fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Funds based upon relative net assets or on another reasonable basis.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

21

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

D. Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to continue to be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Each Member is responsible for the tax liability or benefit relating to the Member’s distributive share of taxable income or loss. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Funds withhold and pay taxes on foreign Members’ share of U.S. source income and U.S. effectively connected income, if any, allocated from Portfolio Funds to the extent such income is not exempted from withholding under the Internal Revenue Code and Regulations thereunder. The actual amount of such taxes is not known until all Form K-1s from Portfolio Funds are received, usually in the following tax year. Prior to the final determination, the amount of tax is estimated based on information available. The final tax could be different from the estimated tax and the difference could be significant. Such withholdings are recorded as distributions in the Statements of Changes in Members’ Capital, and are allocated to the individual Members’ Capital accounts to which they apply and are not an expense of the Funds.

The Investment Manager applies the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Investment Manager to determine whether a tax position of the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. However, the Investment Manager's conclusions regarding Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof and other factors. Each of the Fund's federal, state and local tax returns for all open tax years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and local tax authorities.

E. Distribution Policy

The Funds have no present intention of making periodic distributions of their net investment income or capital gains, if any, to Members. The amount and frequency of distributions, if any, will be determined in the sole discretion of the Board.

F. Distributions from Portfolio Funds

Distributions from Portfolio Funds will be classified as investment income or realized gains in the Statements of Operations, or alternatively, as a decrease to the cost of the investments based on the U.S. income tax characteristics of the distribution if such information is available. In cases where the tax characteristics are not available, such distributions are generally classified as investment income.

G. Cash

Cash is defined as cash on deposit at financial institutions.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

3. Investment Manager Fee, Related Party Transactions and Other

The Funds pay the Investment Manager a monthly management fee (the “Management Fee”) at the annual rate of 0.75% of the net asset value of each Fund as of the last day of the month (before any repurchases of Interests). The Investment Manager is responsible for providing day-to-day investment management services to the Funds, and for providing various administrative services to the Funds.

The Investment Manager may also be paid a Program Fee outside of the Funds for services rendered to investors. The Program Fee is paid directly by the investors at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of an investor’s assets in the Funds. The Program Fee may also include an annual performance-based incentive fee outside of the Funds based on the return of an investor’s account with the Investment Manager.

HedgeServ Limited, (the “Administrator”) provides administration, accounting and investor services to the Funds. In consideration for such services, the Funds pay the Administrator a monthly fee based on their combined prior month-end net assets at an annual rate of 0.12% on the first $250 million of net assets, 0.10% on net assets between $250 million and $500 million, 0.07% on net assets between $500 million and $750 million and 0.06% on net assets over $750 million, and will reimburse the Administrator for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Each fund is allocated its pro-rata share of the monthly fee based upon its prior month-end members capital adjusted for capital activity.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as the custodian (the “Custodian”) for the Funds’ assets. In consideration for such services, each Fund pays the Custodian a monthly fee, based on month-end assets under management, at an annual rate of up to 0.01%. Each Fund also pays the Custodian an annual fee of $7,500 per Cayman Feeder Fund to act as qualified Custodian for each Cayman feeder fund.

Each Member of the Board who is not an “interested person” of the Funds as defined by the 1940 Act receives an annual retainer of $50,500 and regular quarterly meeting fees of $4,250 per meeting (additional meeting fees are $500 per meeting). The chairman of the audit committee receives an additional annual retainer of $3,600. Any Member of the Board of Managers who is an “interested person” does not receive any annual or other fee from the Funds. All Members of the Board of Managers are reimbursed by the Funds for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Net profits or net losses of the Funds for each fiscal period are allocated among and credited to or debited against the capital accounts of Members as of the last day of each fiscal period in accordance with each Member’s respective investment percentage for each Fund. Net profits or net losses are measured as the net change in the value of the net assets of a Fund during a fiscal period, before giving effect to any repurchases of Interests in the Fund, and excluding the amount of any items to be allocated among the capital accounts of the Members of the Fund, other than in accordance with the Members’ respective investment percentages.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

4. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Portfolio Funds in which the Funds invest trade various financial instruments and enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk. These include, but are not limited to, short selling activities, writing option contracts, use of leverage and swap contracts. The Funds’ risk of loss in these Portfolio Funds is limited to the value of their investments in the Portfolio Funds.

5. Risk Factors

Limitations on the Funds’ ability to withdraw their assets from Portfolio Funds may limit the Funds’ ability to repurchase their Interests. For example, many Portfolio Funds impose lock-up periods prior to allowing withdrawals, which can be two years or longer. After expiration of the lock-up period, withdrawals typically are permitted only on a limited basis, such as monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or biannually. Many Portfolio Funds may also indefinitely suspend redemptions or establish restrictions on the ability to fully receive proceeds from redemptions through the application of a redemption restriction or “gate.” In instances where the primary source of funds to repurchase Interests will be withdrawals from Portfolio Funds, the application of these lock-ups and withdrawal limitations may significantly limit the Funds’ ability to repurchase their Interests.

The Funds invest primarily in Portfolio Funds that are not registered under the 1940 Act and invest in and actively trade securities and other financial instruments using different strategies and investment techniques that may involve significant risks. Such risks include those related to the volatility of the equity, credit, and currency markets, the use of leverage associated with certain fixed income strategies, derivative contracts and in connection with short positions, the potential illiquidity of certain instruments and counterparty and broker arrangements.

Some of the Portfolio Funds in which the Funds invest may invest all or a portion of their assets in securities which are illiquid or are subject to an anticipated event. These Portfolio Funds may create "side pockets" in which to hold these securities. Side pockets are series or classes of shares which are not redeemable by the investors but which are automatically redeemed or converted back into the Portfolio Fund’s regular series or classes of shares upon the realization of those securities or the happening of some other liquidity event with respect to those securities.

These “side pockets” can often be held for long periods before they are realized, and may therefore be much less liquid than the general liquidity offered on the investment fund’s regular series or classes of shares. Should the Funds seek to liquidate their investment in a Portfolio Fund that maintains investments in a side pocket arrangement or that holds a substantial portion of its assets in illiquid securities, the Funds might not be able to fully liquidate their investments without delay, which could be considerable. In such cases, during the period until the Funds are permitted to fully liquidate the investment in the Portfolio Fund, the value of the investment could fluctuate.

The Portfolio Funds may utilize leverage in pursuit of achieving a potentially greater investment return. The use of leverage exposes a Portfolio Fund to additional risk including (i) greater losses from investments than would otherwise have been the case had the Portfolio Fund not used leverage to make the investments; (ii) margin calls or interim margin requirements may force premature liquidations of investment positions; and (iii) losses on investments where the investment fails to earn a return that equals or exceeds the Portfolio Fund’s cost of leverage related to such investment. In the event of a sudden, precipitous drop in the value of a Portfolio Fund’s assets, the Portfolio Fund might not be able to liquidate assets quickly enough to repay its borrowings, further magnifying the losses incurred by the Portfolio Fund.

The Portfolio Funds may invest a higher percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in

order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a result, the Portfolio Funds may be more susceptible to economic, political and regulatory developments in a particular sector of the market, positive or negative, and may experience increased volatility of the Portfolio Fund's net asset value.

The Portfolio Funds may invest in securities of foreign companies that involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investments in the United States of America, due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Portfolio Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Portfolio Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

The Funds invest in a limited number of Portfolio Funds and such concentrations may result in additional risk. Various risks are also associated with an investment in the Funds, including risks relating to the multi-manager structure of the Fund, risks relating to compensation arrangements and risks related to limited liquidity of the Interests.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments

Included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this Form.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Aetos Alternatives Management, LLC

Proxy Voting Policy

I. Introduction

This policy sets forth Aetos Alternatives Management, LLC (“AAM”) policies and procedures for voting proxies with respect to portfolio securities held in the accounts for which AAM provides discretionary investment management services and for which AAM has the explicit authority to vote their proxies. The policy will be reviewed and, if necessary, updated periodically to address new or revised proxy voting issues as they arise.

As an investment manager for various clients, including clients governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), AAM may vote proxies as part of its authority to manage, acquire and dispose of client account assets, unless the “named fiduciary” for an ERISA account has explicitly reserved the authority for itself, or in the case of an account not governed by ERISA, the client investment management agreement does not provide that AAM will vote proxies. When voting proxies for client accounts, AAM will make voting decisions solely in the best interests of its clients and its ERISA plan clients and beneficiaries and participants, considering all relevant factors and without undue influence from individuals or groups who may have an economic interest in the outcome of a proxy vote. In fulfilling its obligations to its clients, AAM will act in a manner it deems prudent and diligent and which is intended to enhance the economic value of the underlying portfolio securities held in its clients’ accounts.

II. Routine Corporate Matters

AAM will generally, although not always, vote in support of management on matters which are common management-sponsored initiatives, provided that, in AAM’s opinion, approval of such initiatives will not detract from the economic value of the company’s securities held in AAM client accounts. These matters are set out below:

(i) Appointment or election of auditors;

(ii) Routine elections or re-elections of directors;

(iii) Director’s liability and indemnification;

(iv) General updating/corrective amendments to charter;

(v) Name changes;

(vi) Elimination of cumulative voting; and

(vii) Elimination of preemptive rights.

III. Issues Having the Potential for Major Economic Impact

A. AAM will generally, although not always, vote in support of management initiatives which may have a substantive financial or best interest impact, provided that, in AAM’s opinion, approval of such initiatives will not detract from the economic value of the company’s securities held in AAM client accounts. These matters are set out below:

(i) Capitalization changes which eliminate other classes of stock and voting rights;

(ii) Changes in capitalization authorization for stock splits, stock dividends, and other specified needs which are no more than 50% of the existing authorization;

(iii) Stock purchase plans with an exercise price of not less than 85% of fair market value;

(iv) Stock option plans that are incentive based and not excessive;

(v) Other stock-based plans which are appropriately structured;

(vi) Reductions in supermajority vote requirements; and

(vii) Adoption of anti-greenmail provisions.

B. AAM will generally not vote in support of management on certain issues which have a potential substantive financial or best interest impact when AAM believes that approval of the proposal may negatively impact the economic value of the company’s securities held in AAM client accounts. These matters are set out below:

(i) Capitalization changes which add classes of stock which are blank check in nature or that dilute the voting interests of existing shareholders;

(ii) Changes in capitalization authorization where management does not offer an appropriate rationale or that are contrary to the best interest of existing shareholders;

(iii) Anti-takeover and related provisions which serve to prevent the majority of shareholders from exercising their rights or effectively deter appropriate tender offers and other offers;

(iv) Amendments to by-laws which would require supermajority shareholder votes to pass or repeal certain provisions;

(v) Classified boards of directors;

(vi) Reincorporation into a state which has more stringent anti-takeover and related provisions;

(vii) Shareholder rights plans which allow appropriate offers to shareholders to be blocked by the board or trigger provisions which prevent legitimate offers from proceeding;

(viii) Excessive compensation or non-salary compensation related proposals;

(ix) Change-in-control provisions in non-salary compensation plans, employment contracts and severance agreements that benefit management and would be costly to shareholders if triggered; and

(x) “Other business as properly comes before the meeting” proposals which give a blank check to those acting as proxy.

IV. Social and Corporate Responsibility Issues

AAM, believing that management’s job is to handle ordinary business matters, and not wanting to arbitrarily impose a judgment on such matters, usually votes with management on these proposals. Third party analyses of these issues are taken into account. If an issue will, in our view negatively impact the investment merits of a company, we will oppose it.

V. Conflict of Interests

Situations may arise where there are material conflicts between AAM’s interest and those of its advisory clients. AAM may resolve potential conflicts by using any of the following methods: (1) adopting a policy of disclosing the conflict to clients and obtaining their consent before voting: (2) basing the proxy vote on pre-determined voting guidelines if the application of the guidelines to the matter do not involve the exercise of discretion on the part of AAM; or (3) using the recommendations of an independent third party.

VI. Proxy Voting Record Retention

AAM retains the following records: (1) proxy voting policies and procedures; (2) proxy statements; (3) records of votes cast on behalf of clients; (4) records of clients’ requests for proxy voting information; and (5) any documents prepared by or on behalf of AAM that were material in making decisions on how to vote. AAM retains the above-mentioned records for a minimum of five years.

VII. Proxy Administration

The decision on how to vote a proxy will generally be made by the investment professional responsible for the security requesting a shareholder vote. The investment professional will consult with the Compliance Officer prior to making any such determination, and the Compliance Officer will determine if the proposed vote is consistent with the policies set forth in II-IV above, in which case no further action is required, or the proposed vote is not in compliance with these guidelines or presents a conflict, in which case the proxy will be reviewed with senior management, who will determine the appropriate vote.
