HL Opportunity Fund L.P. A “Smart”, Covered Call Strategy June 2015

HL Opportunity Fund Strategy definition: The Covered Call strategy is a well-known conservative investment strategy that holds underlying stocks and sells call options on those same stocks in order to earn extra income. HL Opportunity Fund (HLOF) has a next generation, systematic approach to the covered call strategy and has developed an algorithm to deploy the strategy. The Fund owns underlying stocks and executes the covered call strategy based on pre-set rules. A computer algorithm generates all trades.

HL Opportunity Fund The “smart” elements: 1. Systematic HLOF has developed proprietary software that generates all trades based on pre-set rules. There is an algorithm that buys, sells or rolls individual calls when certain criteria are reached. 2. Hedging The Portfolio hedges its long positions using sector ETF’s. The hedge is dynamic, ranging between 40-80% of the Portfolio’s long value. 3. Risk Management Our proprietary software manages risk for the strategy. The risk guidelines are set with the aim of reducing drawdown by 70% or more.

HL Opportunity Fund Description: Systematic covered call strategy Target annual net return: 5-8% p.a. (after all fees) Target drawdown: -5% (daily peak-to-valley) Target SD: <50% of the S&P standard deviation Portfolio characteristics: 1) blue chip, large cap US stocks 2) Call options written on each stock, 1-3 months from expiration 3) Hedging using large ETF’s 4) 5-8 different sectors 5) No high-frequency trading. Individual options are typically rolled one-two times per month in order to obtain optimum returns.

HL Opportunity Fund What we look for in individual positions:  Broad coverage of the S&P universe, with 5-8 of the top-10 S&P 500 sectors  Diversification in each sector, with names in each sector  Exposure to the largest, most liquid stocks in each sector  Liquid, highly traded single company call options  Hedging using highly liquid, sector ETFs  Base leverage: up to 1.6x, (longs = %, shorts = 40-80%, net = 20-80%)

HL Opportunity Fund - Theory HLOF’s portfolio has three elements: 1)Underlying large-cap, blue chip stocks 2)Written call options on those stocks 3)Hedges (liquid ETF’s) The premise of the HLOF strategy is that call options on blue-chip stocks can provide 8-12% additional annual income. a) In sideways markets, the stocks and hedges will tend to cancel each other out, allowing the call option premium to be captured. b) In down markets, the call options and hedges should provide protection, potentially reducing drawdown by 70% or more. c) In up-markets, the stocks should provide gains. The gains may be mitigated by losses in both the call options and hedges, potentially reducing stock gains by up to 50%.

HL Opportunity Fund – Downside Protection Hedges, as well as option income, provide downside protection in case of stock market drawdowns. The following drawdown analysis is taken from real data in a managed account. a)During the worst period for stocks (-9.81%), the overall portfolio lost less than 1% due to hedges and premium income. b)In the gold miner sector, as stocks lost more than -25%, the portfolio was down less than 7% in the sector, due to hedges and option income.
