Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Unit holders of

CPG JPMorgan Alternative Strategies Fund, LLC:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of CPJ JPMorgan Alternative Strategies Fund, LLC (the "Fund"), including the schedule of portfolio of investments, as of March 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two periods in the periods then ended.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of investments in Investment Funds as of of March 31, 2013, by correspondence with managements of underlying Investment Funds. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.  

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CPJ JPMorgan Alternative Strategies Fund at March 31, 2013, the results of its operations and its cash flows  for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and financial highlights for each of the two periods in the the periods then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to the Financial Statements

March 31, 2013

1. Organization

CPG JPMorgan Alternative Strategies Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) was organized in the State of Delaware on July 28, 2010 as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund commenced operations on October 1, 2011.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek attractive risk-adjusted returns, with significantly less volatility and correlation to broad market indices than equity investments. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing its assets in private alternative investment funds (“Investment Funds”).

The Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Directors”) have overall responsibility to manage and control the business affairs of the Fund, including the exclusive authority to oversee and to establish policies regarding the management, conduct and operations of the Fund’s business. The Directors have engaged Central Park Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company, to provide investment advice regarding the selection of Investment Funds and to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Adviser is an independent investment advisory firm registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

The Fund’s term is perpetual unless it is otherwise dissolved under the terms of its formation documents.

The Fund offers units of beneficial interest (the “Units”) on a continuous basis. Units may be purchased as of the first business day of each month based upon the Fund’s then current net asset value.

The Fund is organized as a closed-end management investment company. Investors do not have the right to require the Fund to redeem their Units. The Fund may, from time to time, provide liquidity to investors by offering to repurchase Units pursuant to written tenders by investors. Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Directors, in their sole discretion. The Adviser anticipates the Fund will offer to repurchase Units from investors on a quarterly basis, with such repurchases to occur as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The Adviser expects that, generally, each repurchase offer made during the first three calendar quarters will tender up to 20% of the net assets of the Fund. The Adviser also expects that repurchase offers made at December 31 will apply to a number of Units that will be sufficient to satisfy any redeeming Investor’s redemption request. Each repurchase offer will generally commence approximately 100 days prior to the applicable repurchase date.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Fund have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and are expressed in United States dollars.

The following is a summary of significant accounting and reporting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statements.

Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs and to distribute to its unit holders substantially all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. In addition, the Fund intends to make distributions as required to avoid excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax has been recorded in these financial statements.

Federal Tax Information: The Fund has adopted a tax year end of September 30 (“Tax year”). As such, the Fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses will only be determined at the end of each Tax year. Accordingly, tax basis distributions, if any, as well as the compositions of net assets on a tax basis will be determined as of September 30, 2013 and reflected in the financial statement footnotes for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2013, the Fund made $1,362,379 in distributions, no distributions were made as of September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed	Undistributed	Capital Loss	Post October	Unrealized	Total
Ordinary	Long-Term	Carry	& Late Year	Appreciation/	Accumulated
Income	Gains	Forwards	Losses	(Depreciation)	Earnings/(Deficits)
$      324,231	$        95,254	$               -	$               -	$      712,860	$           1,132,345

CPG JPMorgan Alternative Strategies Fund, LLC          

Notes to the Financial Statements

March 31, 2013

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gains from investments in Investment Funds is primarily attributable to adjustments for the Fund’s holdings of passive foreign investment companies and partnerships.

Management evaluates the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions will “more-likely-than-not” be sustained upon examination by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold and that would result in a tax benefit or expense to the Fund would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Fund has not recognized any tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses. Tax years 2013 and 2012 remains subject to examination by the U.S. taxing authorities. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Cash & Cash Equivalents: Cash consists of monies held at Union Bank, N.A. (formerly, Union Bank of California, N.A.). Such cash, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts. Cash and cash equivalents consist of monies invested in overnight deposit accounts, which pay money market rates and are accounted for at cost plus accrued interest. The Fund considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There are no restrictions on the cash and cash equivalents held by the Fund. As of March 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents consist of $166,000 in cash and $798,298 in money market funds held at Union Bank, N.A.

Investment Transactions: The Fund accounts for realized gains and losses from Investment Funds transactions based upon the pro-rata ratio of the fair value and cost of the underlying Investment Fund at the date of redemption. Interest income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Dividends and distributions to unit holders: Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually.  The Fund records dividends and distributions to its unit holders on ex-­dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.  Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset value per Unit of the Fund.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair value of the Fund's assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

3. Portfolio Valuation

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under U.S. GAAP, a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observation of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

CPG JPMorgan Alternative Strategies Fund, LLC          

Notes to the Financial Statements

March 31, 2013

 The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

•

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.  

•

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial instrument, either directly or indirectly.  For investments measured at net asset value (“NAV”) as of the measurement date, included in this category are investments that can be withdrawn by the Fund at NAV as of the measurement date, or within one year from the measurement date.

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs for the financial instrument (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).  For investments measured at NAV as of the measurement date, included in this category are investments for which the Fund does not have the ability to redeem at NAV as of the measurement date due to lock up and/or redemption notice period greater than one year from the measurement date.

U.S. GAAP requires that investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value.  In evaluating the level at which the Fund’s investments have been classified, the Fund has assessed factors including, but not limited to price transparency, the ability to redeem at NAV at the measurement date (within 1 year) and the existence or absence of certain restrictions at the measurement date.  

The Investment Funds may have the ability to restrict redemptions from the Fund. Suspensions are generally imposed to prevent the liquidation of the underlying Investment Funds as well as to prevent circumstances where an Investment Fund’s underlying investments become illiquid that there would be serious concern that redeeming investors would be advantaged at the disadvantage of remaining investors. Investments in Investment Funds subject to suspension of redemptions are classified as Level 3 assets.

Lock-up periods require an investor to wait a specified length of time after the initial issuance of Units before redemption can be granted.  It is common for Investment Funds to include lock-up periods in the private placement memorandum to reduce liquidity risk and allow subscriptions proceeds to be invested over an appropriate time horizon.  Investments in Investment Funds with lock-up periods of one year or less that are publishing NAVs and redeeming unlocked Units at the published NAV are classified as Level 2 assets. Investments in Investment Funds with lock-up periods of more than one year are classified as Level 3 assets.

Net asset value of the Fund is determined by or at the direction of the Adviser as of the close of business at the end of any fiscal period in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below or as may be determined from time to time pursuant to policies established by the Directors. The Fund’s investments in Investment Funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating agreements and offering memorandums, as appropriate. The Fund’s Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) oversees the valuation process of the Fund’s investments. The Committee meets on a monthly basis and reports to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. The Fund’s investments in Investment Funds are carried at fair value, which generally represents the Fund’s pro-rata interest in the net assets of each Investment Fund as reported by the administrators and/or investment managers of the underlying Investment Funds. All valuations utilize financial information supplied by each Investment Fund and are net of management and incentive fees or allocations payable to the Investment Funds’ managers or pursuant to the Investment Funds’ agreements. The Fund’s valuation procedures require the Adviser to consider all relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio. The Adviser has assessed factors including, but not limited to the individual Investment Funds' compliance with fair value measurements, price transparency and valuation procedures in place, and subscription and redemption activity. The Adviser and/or the Directors will consider such information and consider whether it is appropriate, in light of all relevant circumstances, to value such a position at its net asset value as reported or whether to adjust such value. The underlying investments of each Investment Fund are accounted for at fair value as described in each Investment Fund’s financial statements. (See Schedule of Portfolio Investments).

The fair value relating to certain underlying investments of these Investment Funds, for which there is no ready market, has been estimated by the respective Investment Funds’ management and is based upon available information in the absence of readily ascertainable fair values and does not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.

It is unknown on an aggregate basis whether the Investment Funds held any investments whereby the Fund’s proportionate share exceeded 5% of the Fund’s net assets at March 31, 2013.

CPG JPMorgan Alternative Strategies Fund, LLC          

Notes to the Financial Statements

March 31, 2013

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by investment strategy and by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2013.

Assets	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Investments
Multi-Strategy Investment Funds	$                   -	$                 37,941,584	$                      8,148,111	$                  46,089,695
Total Investments	$                           -	$                 37,941,584	$                      8,148,111	$                  46,089,695

It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended March 31, 2013. Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 are detailed below:

The following is a reconciliation of assets in which Level 3 inputs were used in determining value:

	Investments in Investment Funds
Beginning Balance, March 31, 2012	$                12,350,056
Purchases of Investment Funds	16,310,030
Sales of Investment Funds	(7,640,000)
Net Realized and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation	1,152,578
Transfers into Level 3	-
Transfers out Level 3	(14,024,553)
Balance, March 31, 2013	$                  8,148,111

Transfers out of Level 3 represent investments in Investment Funds that were previously categorized as Level 3 investments for the year ended March 31, 2012. In accordance with authoritative guidance, these investments are being reclassified as Level 2 investments for the year ended March 31, 2013 as the Fund has the ability to redeem its investment at net assets value as of, or during the fiscal year following the measurement date.

The net realized and net change in unrealized appreciation is included in net realized gain from investments in Investment Funds and net change in unrealized appreciation on investments in Investment Funds on the Statement of Operations.

4. Related Party Transactions

The Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee (the “Management fee”) at the annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund’s monthly net asset value. During the year ended March 31, 2013, the Adviser earned $607,578 of Management fees which is included in the Statement of Operations, of which $169,479 was payable at March 31, 2013.

Each Independent Director of the Fund receives an annual retainer of $5,000 plus a fee of $500 for each meeting attended and a fee of $250 for each meeting by phone. All Directors are reimbursed by the Fund for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Total amounts expensed by the Fund related to Directors for the period ended March 31, 2013 were $22,500 which is presented as Directors’ fees in the Statement of Operations, of which $1,500 was payable at March 31, 2013 which is included in accounts payable and other accrued expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Unless otherwise voluntarily or contractually assumed by the Adviser or another party, the Fund bears all expenses incurred in its business, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to investment transactions and positions for the Fund’s account; legal fees; accounting, auditing and tax preparation fees; recordkeeping and custodial fees; costs of computing the Fund’s net asset value; fees for data and software providers; research expenses; costs of insurance; registration expenses; certain offering costs; expenses of meetings of investors; Directors’ fees; all costs with respect to communications to investors; transfer taxes and taxes withheld on non-U.S. dividends; interest and commitment fees on loans and debit balances; and other types of expenses as may be approved from time to time by the Directors.

CPG JPMorgan Alternative Strategies Fund, LLC          

Notes to the Financial Statements

March 31, 2013

 (the “Limitation Period”) to limit the amount of “Specified Expenses” (as described below) borne by the Fund to an amount not to exceed 0.75% per annum of the Fund’s net assets (the “Expense Cap”). The Adviser has elected to extend the term of the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement on a quarterly bases through June 30, 2013. The Adviser will continue to review the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement on a quarterly basis going forward. “Specified Expenses” is defined to include all expenses incurred in the business of the Fund, provided that the following expenses are excluded from the definition of Specified Expenses: (i) the Management fee; (ii) fees, expenses, allocations, etc. of the Investment Funds in which the Fund invests, (iii) brokerage costs, (iv) interest payments, and (v) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of the Adviser). These expenses will be in addition to the expenses of the Fund that may be limited by the Adviser to 0.75% of the Fund’s net assets. To the extent that Specified Expenses for any month exceed the Expense Cap, the Adviser will reimburse the Fund for expenses to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Adviser may discontinue its obligations under the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement at any time in its sole discretion. To the extent that the Adviser bears Specified Expenses, it is permitted to receive reimbursement for any expense amounts previously paid or borne by the Adviser, for a period not to exceed three years from the date on which such expenses were paid or borne by the Adviser, even if such reimbursement occurs after the termination of the Limitation Period, provided that the Specified Expenses have fallen to a level below the Expense Cap and the reimbursement amount does not raise to the level of Specified Expenses in the month the reimbursement is being made to a level that exceeds the Expense Cap. For the year ended March 31, 2013, the Adviser has reimbursed $120,535 of expenses incurred by the Fund.  

5. Administration, Custodian Fees and Distribution

Gemini Fund Services, LLC (“Gemini”, or the “Administrator”), serves as the administrator, accounting agent, and transfer agent to the Fund, and in that capacity provides certain administrative, accounting, record keeping, tax and investor related services. For its services as Administrator, the Fund pays Gemini a minimum fee along with annualized tier rate fee based upon the average net assets of the Fund. The Fund pays Gemini an annual per investor servicing fee. In addition, the Fund reimburses Gemini for certain out of pocket expenses incurred. A Gemini affiliate Northern Lights Compliance Services (“NLCS”) provides Chief Compliance Officer services to the Fund. An officer of NLCS is also an officer of the Fund.

Union Bank, N.A. serves as custodian (the “Custodian”) of the Fund’s assets and provides custodial services for the Fund.

Foreside Fund Services, LLC acts as the placement agent for the Fund’s Units on a best efforts basis, subject to various conditions. The Fund also may distribute Units through other brokers or dealers. The Fund will sell Units only to Qualified Investors (as defined in the Fund’s Private Placement Memorandum).

6. Investments in Investment Funds

As of March 31, 2013, the Fund had no investments in Investment Funds that were related parties.

Aggregate purchases and proceeds from sales of investments in Investment Funds for the period ended March 31, 2013 amounted to $35,593,327 and $19,018,327, respectively.

The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income allocated to the Fund from the Investment Funds. The allocated taxable income is reported to the Fund by the Investment Funds on Schedule K-1. The Fund has not yet received all such Schedule K-1s for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the underlying Investment Funds’ year-end); therefore, the tax basis of investments for 2013 will not be finalized by the Fund until after the fiscal year end.

The agreements related to investments in Investment Funds provide for compensation to their general partners/managers in the form of management fees of 1.50% to 2.00% (per annum) of net assets and performance incentive fees or allocations up to 20.00% of net profits earned. Detailed information about the Investment Funds’ portfolios is not available.

7. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Investment Funds in which the Fund invests 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, contracts for differences, and equity swaps. The Fund’s risk of loss in these Investment Funds is limited to the fair value of its investment in the Investment Fund.

8. Indemnification

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

9. Subsequent Events

Subsequent events after the balance sheet date have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.  Management has evaluated subsequent events and the Fund admitted 13 new investors with contributions in the amount of $927,165 subsequent to the year ended March 31, 2013.

ITEM 7.  DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

The Proxy Voting Policies are as follows:

Investments in the Investment Funds do not typically convey traditional voting rights, and the occurrence of corporate governance or other consent or voting matters for this type of investment is substantially less than that encountered in connection with registered equity securities.  On occasion, however, the Fund may receive notices or proposals from the Investment Funds seeking the consent of or voting by holders ("proxies").  The Fund has delegated any voting of proxies in respect of portfolio holdings to the Adviser to vote the Fund's proxies in accordance with the Adviser's proxy voting guidelines and procedures.  In general, the Adviser believes that voting proxies in accordance with the policies described below will be in the best interests of the Fund.

The Adviser will generally vote to support management recommendations relating to routine matters, such as the election of board members (where no corporate governance issues are implicated) or the selection of independent auditors.  The Adviser will generally vote in favor of management or investor proposals that the Adviser believes will maintain or strengthen the shared interests of investors and management, increase value for investors and maintain or increase the rights of investors. On non-routine matters, the Adviser will generally vote in favor of management proposals for mergers or reorganizations and investor rights plans, so long as it believes such proposals are in the best economic interests of the Fund.  In exercising its voting discretion, the Adviser will seek to avoid any direct or indirect conflict of interest presented by the voting decision.  If any substantive aspect or foreseeable result of the matter to be voted on presents an actual or potential conflict of interest involving the Adviser, the Adviser will make written disclosure of the conflict to the Independent Directors of the Fund indicating how the

The Fund intends to hold its interests in the Investment Funds in non-voting form. Where only voting securities are available for purchase by the Fund, in all, or substantially all, instances, the Fund will seek to create by contract the same result as owning a non-voting security by entering into a contract, typically before the initial purchase, to relinquish the right to vote in respect of its investment.

Information regarding how the Adviser voted proxies related to the Fund's portfolio holdings during the 12-month period ending June 30th will be available, without charge, upon request by calling collect (212)317-9200, and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Item 8.  Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Gregory Brousseau and Mitchell A. Tanzman, the co-chief executives of the Adviser, serve as the Fund's Portfolio Managers. As Portfolio Managers, Mr. Brousseau and Mr. Tanzman are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio and share equal responsibility and authority for managing the Fund's portfolio, including conducting investment due diligence, performing research analysis and making the ultimate selection of the Fund's investments.

Gregory Brousseau. Mr. Brousseau, a founding member of Central Park Group, serves as Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Central Park Group. He has over 20 years of experience in alternative investments. Prior to founding Central Park Group, he served as co-head of UBS Financial Services Alternative Investment Group. During Mr. Brousseau's time at UBS, Mr. Brousseau oversaw in excess of $2 billion in hedge fund of fund assets across multiple investment strategies. Prior to that, Mr. Brousseau spent 13 years at Oppenheimer & Co., as an analyst in the firm's merger arbitrage department and ultimately co-managing Oppenheimer's alternative investment department.

Mitchell A. Tanzman. Mr. Tanzman, a founding member of Central Park Group, serves as Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Central Park Group. He has over 20 years of experience in alternative investments. Prior to founding Central Park Group, he served as co-head of UBS Financial Services Alternative Investment Group. During Mr. Tanzman's time at UBS, Mr.Tanzman oversaw in excess of $2 billion in hedge fund of fund assets across multiple investment strategies. Prior to that, Mr. Tanzman worked at Oppenheimer & Co.'s asset management group, ultimately co-managing its alternative investment department.

The Portfolio Managers manage, or are affiliated with, other accounts in addition to the Fund, including other pooled investment vehicles. Because the Portfolio Managers manage assets for other investment companies, pooled investment vehicles, and/or other accounts (collectively "Client Accounts"), or may be affiliated with such Client Accounts, there may be an incentive to favor one Client Account over another, resulting in conflicts of interest. For example, the Adviser may, directly or indirectly, receive fees from

Client Accounts that are higher than the fee it receives from the Fund, or it may, directly or indirectly, receive a performance-based fee on a Client Account. In those instances, the Portfolio Managers may have an incentive to not favor the Fund over the Client Accounts. The Adviser has adopted trade allocation and other policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to address these and other conflicts of interest.

Each Portfolio Manager's compensation is comprised of a fixed annual salary and potentially an annual supplemental distribution paid by the Adviser's parent company and not by the Fund. Because the Portfolio Managers are equity owners of the Adviser and are affiliated with other entities that may receive performance-based fees from Client Accounts, the supplemental distribution that the Portfolio Managers receive from the Adviser's parent company directly or indirectly is generally equal to their respective proportional shares of the annual net profits earned by the Adviser from advisory fees and performance based fees derived from Client Accounts, including the Fund, as applicable.

The following table lists the number and types of accounts, other than the Fund, managed by the Fund's Portfolio Managers and estimated assets under management in those accounts, as of March 31, 2013.
