Somerset Capital Fund Important Features of the Fund Domiciled in Malta, a Member of the E.U. Strong Regulatory Environment Treaty Relationships with Canada, the U.S. and other countries No taxable event until units are sold Risk level can be tailored to investor profile Rigorous rebalancing reduces volatility

Somerset Capital Fund Performance Summary The objective is to achieve the highest return for the lowest volatility for each of the risk classes All three Somerset Funds scored in the top 2% percent of the Morningstar Universe of 26,900 funds. To analyze our performance we compared the five year annual rate of return in combination with the five year volatility as of August 31, 2010.

Somerset Capital Fund Criteria for underlying fund selection Must be easily and quickly liquidated Fund must be greater than $50 million We must meet regularly with the key investment managers We will not purchase individual equities or private placements

Somerset Capital Fund Strategy Long term growth objective (minimum five (5) years) Risk mitigation by rebalancing underlying fund positions Each fund has a target allocation If the allocation is exceeded, units are sold If the allocation is under-weight, units are purchased We cannot time the market

Somerset Capital Fund Our Outlook Strong emerged and emerging market growth Slow North American recovery due to continuing weakness in the U.S. economy and lack of consumer spending Continuing low inflation Gold, metals and energy prices will remain strong and provide a buffer against economic shocks One strong growth possibility will be U.S. large cap growth stocks now trading at the lowest multiples ever
