� Twenty to forty trades are identified

� Each trade small relative to NAV (eg. Attempt to

make 50bps, tolerate a loss of 25bps)

� Longs and shorts

� Geographically diversified

� Liquid

� Upside/downside of the trade is identified

� Confidence in upside/downside established

� High confidence trades tend to be attempts to

make 50-75bps

� Historical volatility used to back out the relevant

size, place the stop and target, and risk manage

(gap up and down)

� OTC data is used to put boundaries around the

possible size of a trade

Investment process: three steps to portfolio construction

Investment ideas Trade sizing Liquidity analysis and scaling

� We are risk budgeters. We work to a 10% annualised volatility target and try to maximise return on this budget in liquid emerging markets

� We do not target return. We target risk

� Trades enter the portfolio if they raise its risk-adjusted return

� If a trade leads the portfolio to violate the volatility and market neutrality parameters, it is eliminated, re-sized, or combined with an offsetting trade

� Adding and subtracting trades leads to a portfolio with an expected volatility of 10% and expected beta of zero

Portfolio construction

A portfolio of diversified trades is implemented, balanced across longs and shorts

Risk management process: portfolio diversification and drawdown control

� Each trade enters the portfolio with a predefined stop loss and target, which can be quite wide

� The rules governing the evolution of the stop and the target are discussed ex-ante when we do the trade, i.e. what is the plan in the catastrophe and

spectacular scenario?

� Stops and targets are dynamic conditional on sets of fundamental and technical developments

� A portfolio level peak to trough drawdown of 5% time can trigger an unwind of a minimum of 80% of the portfolio risk and re-assessment*

� Normal times volatility

� Catastrophic jumps and event risk

� Defaults

� Devaluations

� Liquidity

� VaR constraints

� Single name constraints

� FX, Equity and Credit Concentration

� Liquidity constraints

Investment goals consistent with the team’s trading experience

The portfolio management team will aim to achieve the following*:

Expected annual volatility (net of fees): 10%

Expected maximum drawdown: 5%

* There can be no guarantee that these objectives will be met nor that these targets will be achieved and a decision to invest in the Strategy should not be based on the Strategy’s target volatility. The Strategy’s performance

may be volatile and future returns are not guaranteed and loss of principle may occur.

We have a risk budgeting approach: we strive to deploy 10% annualised volatility and maximise return on that risk.

We target RISK not RETURN

Source: GLG Partners LP, all returns are expressed in US dollar terms. †The Fund’s inception is October 2007. The current portfolio management team assumed responsibility on 1 November 2008.

*The net returns are calculated net of management fees of 2% per annum, and performance fees of 20% and represents the period 1 November 2008 to 30 September 2010. Performance of the GLG Emerging Markets Fund

reflects a share class that is not eligible to invest in “new issues” and as a result may differ from a share class that is eligible to invest in “new issues”.

**The Claim Resolution Agreement ("CRA") between Lehman Brothers International (Europe) ("LBIE") and its clients became unconditional 29 December 2009. Based upon the valuation methodology established in the CRA

and as a result of detailed reconciliation work between LBIE and GLG with respect to OTC positions, the GLG Emerging Markets Fund was able to book a gain of 8.3% to the NAV of Class A Unrestricted shares as at 31

December 2009. The realised annualised volatility number excludes this CRA related result. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Please refer to Important Information at the end of the presentation.

Market indices have been chosen to represent general market data. No representation is being made that these indices are appropriate for comparison to the Fund. The description of the indices are listed below: 1The S&P

500 is a value weighted index of the prices of 500 large-cap common stocks actively traded in the United States. The stocks included in the S&P 500 are those of large publicly held companies that trade on either of the two

largest American stock markets, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. 2 The JPM GABI consists of the JPM GABI US, a U.S. dollar denominated, investment-grade index spanning asset classes from developed to

emerging markets, and the JPM GABI extends the U.S. index to also include multi-currency, investment-grade instruments. 3The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is

designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. 4The EMBI+ tracks returns for actively traded external debt instruments in emerging market, and is also J.P. Morgan's most liquid U.S-dollar emerging

markets debt benchmark. The index segments further the universe of emerging markets as defined by the broader EMBI Global and EMBI Global Diversified, by placing a strict liquidity requirement rule for inclusion. Included

in the EMBI+ are US-dollar denominated Brady bonds, Eurobonds, and traded loans issued by sovereign entities.

We believe now is a unique time

Technical factors

� Risk capital is impaired: banks are still deleveraging under massive public sector scrutiny. Asset managers suffered massive outflows which have not yet been

replenished

� Regulatory change-post Basel II promises to raise dramatically the capital banks need to held against risk assets

� Legacy proprietary and special situations positions are complicating the lives of traders

Fundamental factors

� We are, in our opinion, in an historic macro trading environment. With the debate on the great depression and the great inflation underway and unresolved, there is

the potential for continued large tradable moves in interest rates, currencies and stocks

� Contagion from the G-10 credit crisis has caused significant mispricings in EM, particularly in the credit space

� The majority of the EM policy makers are not printing money and/or raising their budget deficits dramatically. This has historic multiyear implications for EM real

exchange rates, share of world output and share of world stock market capitalisation

� We believe some of the structural bullishness on EM as an asset class is warranted. We are in a period of integration into world trade and capital markets of a

number of large economies with rising number of, young, healthy, middle classes. Public finances are in our view in the best shape in a generation to withstand

further global macroeconomic uncertainty

� There is an agreed pricing matrix for each Fund Administrator which lists the primary, secondary and tertiary (where applicable) pricing sources for all existing

instrument types. Examples of primary sources are closing prices from a recognised trading exchange and for secondary sources publicly available broker quotes or

Bloomberg generic prices

� Prices are reconciled on an asset line by asset line basis. Discrepancies that cannot be reconciled are referred where relevant to the IPC

� If no pricing source is available then the IPC will approve a suitable pricing methodology

� Price overrides are only approved where, for example, there has been a bad exchange mark or material news after the exchange has closed. All overrides are

reported to the IPC

� Private placement positions are reviewed on a monthly basis and marked to fair value. Input from the Fund manager is expected and is considered but there is a

robust review process and the IPC approves the fair value marks on all private placements. The fair value guidelines from the International Private Equity and

Venture Capital (IPEVC) are used.

� Default policy is to price all securities to mid market and not to make any liquidity provision. Exceptionally where a GLG fund is facing a liquidity crisis a liquidity

provision may be approved by the IPC

� Where the IPC fails to reach agreement on an issue, the matter is referred to the Board of Directors the relevant GLG Fund
