The "preliminary" estimate for second quarter GDP was released at 1.6%, lower than the prior "advance" estimate of 2.4%. Gross privatedomestic investment (2.75%), personal consumption (1.38%), exports (1.08%), and government spending (0.86%) contributed to GDPgrowth in the current estimate. Imports (-4.45%) detracted from GDP growth. The downward revision in August was largely due to asmaller increase in business inventories ($63.2B vs. $75.7B in the prior estimate) and a larger trade gap caused by fewer exports andincreased imports. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that spending associated with the stimulus act of 2009 helped to addbetween 1.7 and 4.5% to GDP growth in the current quarter.

The unemployment rate rose to 9.6% in August, increasing by 0.1% from the prior month. The number of unemployed is currently at 14.9Mand the number of long-term unemployed is 6.2M. The non-farm payroll, the net number of non-farm jobs added or subtracted per month,lost 54,000 jobs in August. Private payroll employment added 67,000 jobs in August, while employees tied to the 2010 Census accounted for114,000 jobs lost for the month. Employment gains for August were seen in health care (28K), construction (19K), temporary help services(17K), and mining (8K). Manufacturing (-27K) and government employment (-121K) had job losses. Total non-farm payroll employmentfor June and July were revised to show fewer employment losses.

The price of crude oil finished August at $71.92 per barrel, a decrease of 8.9% from the previous month-end. The Energy InformationAdministration (EIA) lowered its short-term outlook on crude oil prices and is currently projecting oil to average $77 per barrel in the fourthquarter and $82 per barrel in 2011. Oil prices are expected to rise slowly in the short-term due to low projected global GDP growth and lowsupply growth. The price of gold increased by 6.6% in August, finishing the month at $1,246/oz.

August at a Glance via the S&P 5001

The S&P 500 (-4.5%) and the rest of the stock market gave up July's gains in August. A string of negative economic news pushed equity pricesdown amid lower trading volume. The struggling housing market fell precipitously as the impact of the expiration of the homebuyers' tax creditcontinued. Inventories rose quickly as existing home sales fell 27.2%. 2Q GDP was revised lower to 1.6% which more than offset prior monthgains in other indicators such as personal consumption and durable goods orders.

Small-caps underperformed large-caps.

Telcommunications (+2.3%) and Utilities (+1.5%) were the only S&P 500 sectors up in August. 78% of Telecommunication stocks were positiveyear-to-date versus the index average of 40%. Financials (-7.8%), Industrials (-7.0%), and Information Technology (-7.0%) experienced theheaviest losses. Declines in these sectors and small-cap stocks are indicative of a broad-based flight from risky assets. In general, energycommodity prices fell further, contributing to the Energy sector's dismal year-to-date performance (-9.2%).

Benchmark Annualized Performance

Hedge Fund Market Environment - August 31, 2010

Ten Year Risk/Return

Hedge funds had strong relative performance in August compared to the broad equity market. Hedge funds had little success in taking advantageof the volatility in the equity markets through July, but that began to change in August. Many funds reported stronger gains on their shorts versuslosses on their long positions, leading to solid performance for the month. Overall, most funds remain conservatively positioned with low netexposure to the market.

The chart below displays the risk and return characteristics of hedge funds versus some of the other traditional asset class benchmarks. Over thelast ten years, hedge funds have outperformed the U.S. and non-U.S. equity markets with comparable volatility to fixed income.

The chart below shows the percentage of stocks advancing and declining each year since 1995 (2010 data is through 08/31/10). Hedged equitymanagers found it difficult to outperform in 2008 and 2009 in-part because stocks were primarily moving in the same direction (up in 2009 anddown in 2008). We are finally seeing an end to that trend in 2010, which typically bodes well for hedged equity returns.
