Benchmarks and financial indices are shown for illustrative purposes only and are provided for the purpose of making general market data available as a point of reference only. Such benchmarks and financial indices may not be available for direct investment, may be unmanaged, assume reinvestment of income, do not reflect the impact of any trading commissions and costs, management or performance fees, and have limitations when used for comparison or other purposes because they, among other reasons, may have different trading strategy, volatility, credit, or other material characteristics (such as limitations on the number and types of securities or instruments). A Fund's investment objective is not restricted to the securities and instruments comprising any one index. No representation is made that any benchmark or index is an appropriate measure for comparison.

Private Funds, depending upon their investment objectives and strategies, may invest and trade in a variety of different markets, strategies and instruments (including securities, non-securities and derivatives) and are NOT subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, including requirements to provide certain periodic and standardized pricing and valuation information to investors. There are substantial risks in investing in a Private Fund (which also are applicable to the underlying Private Funds, if any, in which a Private Fund may invest). Prospective investors should note that:

• A Private Fund represents a speculative investment and involves a high degree of risk. Investors must have the financial ability, sophistication/experience and willingness to bear the risks of an investment in a Private Fund. An investor could lose all or asubstantial portion of his/her/its investment.

• An investment in a Private Fund is not suitable for all investors and should be discretionary capital set aside strictly for speculative purposes. Only qualified eligible investors may invest in a Private Fund.

• A Private Fund’s prospectus or offering documents are not reviewed or approved by federal or state regulators and its privately placed interests are not federally, or state registered.

• An investment in a Private Fund may be illiquid and there are significant restrictions on transferring or redeeming interests in a Private Fund. There is no recognized secondary market for an investor’s interest in a Private Fund and none is expected to develop. Substantial redemptions within a limited period of time could adversely affect the Private Fund.

• Certain portfolio assets of a Private Fund may be illiquid and without a readily ascertainable market value. The manager’s/advisor’s involvement in the valuation process creates a potential conflict of interest. Instances of mispriced portfolios, due to fraud or negligence, have occurred in the industry.

• A Private Fund may have little or no operating history or performance and may use performance information which may not reflect actual trading of the Private Fund and should be reviewed carefully. Investors should not place undue reliance on hypothetical, pro forma or predecessor performance.

PAGE 3



• A Private Fund may trade in commodity interests, derivatives and futures, both for hedging and speculative purposes, and may execute a substantial portion of trades on foreign exchanges, all of which could result in a substantial risk of loss. Commodities, derivatives and futures prices may be highly volatile, may be difficult to accurately predict, carry specialized risks and can increase the risk of loss.

• A Private Fund’s manager/advisor has total trading authority over a Private Fund. The death or disability of a key person, or their departure, may have a material adverse effect on a Private Fund.

• A Private Fund may use a single manager/advisor or employ a single strategy, which could mean a lack of diversification and higher risk. Alternatively, a Private Fund and its managers/advisors may rely on the trading expertise and experience of third-party managers or advisors, the identity of which may not be disclosed to investors, which may trade in a variety of different instruments and markets.

• A Private Fund may involve a complex tax structure, which should be reviewed carefully, and may involve structures or strategies that may cause delays in important financial and tax information being sent to investors.

• A Private Fund’s fees and expenses, which may be substantial regardless of any positive return, will offset such Private Fund’s trading profits. If a Private Fund’s investments are not successful or are not sufficiently successful, these payments and expenses may, over a period of time, significantly reduce or deplete the net asset value of the Private Fund.

• A Private Fund and its managers/advisors and their affiliates may be subject to various potential and actual conflicts of interest.

• A Private Fund may employ investment techniques or measures aimed to reduce the risk of loss which may not be successful or fully successful.

• A Private Fund may employ leverage, including involving derivatives. Leverage presents specialized risks. The more leverageused, the more likely a substantial change in value may occur, either up or down.

The above summary is not a complete list of the risks, tax considerations and other important disclosures involved in investing in a Private Fund and is subject to the more complete disclosures in such Private Fund’s offering documents, which must be reviewed carefully prior to making an investment.

Market Inefficiencies Opportunity Drivers Gator Success Factors § Stock prices often misprice

significant news before information is fully digested by the market.

§ Financial restructurings require depth of experience and research to understand changes to business fundamentals.

§ Complicated nature of financial balance sheets limits investor pool.

§ Price discovery is less efficient for small and mid-cap securities or those held by a non-institutional investor base.

§ The market often resets stock prices/expectations to the extreme on bad news while positive developments are generally slow to be priced in.

§ Many investors have limited investment mandates. This can lead to forced selling or sub-optimal investment decisions (i.g., stock is removed from an index).

§ Stocks with non-institutional investor base.

§ Larger competing funds more inclined towards more liquid public securities.

§ 10-year history of following and developing a proprietary knowledge base of 300+ Financials stocks.

§ Patience to analyze available information and make realistic assumptions related to business drivers.

§ Gator has the ability to invest in securities that are not widely held by institutional or index investors.

§ Early identification of ongoing or underappreciated change in business fundamentals.

Derek Pilecki has spent his entire 20+ year career working within the Financials sector. Having invested throughout prior cycles whilefollowing 300+ financial companies, Pilecki is able to draw on his deeply specialized knowledge and apply his past experience to currentmarket environments. Being able to identify short term setbacks and investor fatigue, often leads to an early identification of mispricingsand can provide significant upside to the portfolio.

Differentiated Ideas

PAGE 10

Gator tends to find opportunity in names that are largely ignored by Institutional Investors. Gator does not own any of the 50 positions in the Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund VIP Index and has minimal overlap with the XLF Financial Sector ETF. Due to the non-institutional investor base and complex balance sheets of many of Gator’s holdings, price discovery is less efficient and can provide attractive entry opportunities.

Thematic Contribution Over Time


Prospective Investment Themes in Portfolio

PAGE 12

The Fund’s current Long Portfolio is largely composed of 5 investment themes in additional to single name holdings:

European Banks

Consumer Finance

Financial Guaranty Recovery

Alternative Asset Managers

TARP Warrants

Consumer credit is very strong due to the strong employment environment. The consumer finance companies trade at significant discounts to regional banks despite having high growth rates and higher returns on equity.

Alternative asset managers have attractive growth, but trade at discounts to traditional asset managers due to their corporate structure. We believe these companies are addressing the issues with their corporate structures.

European banks trade at significant discounts to their U.S.-based peers, but they have made substantial improvements in their credit quality and capital levels. We also believe they will be the largest beneficiaries of the ECB pulling back from QE.

The TARP warrants were issued by the banks to the U.S. Treasury in the Fall of 2008. Long-term warrants provide a unique way for investors to benefit on higher interest rates and improving valuations. Gator continues to hold warrants issued by ZION and AIG.

These companies have all been recovering from mortgage losses during the Great Financial Crisis. Examples include Ambac, Syncora, and Fannie Mae.


Long Portfolio Has Low Multiples

PAGE 13

The Portfolio Manager believes that as these holdings report consistent earnings their multiples will increase.The Portfolio Manager also believes the average Price-to-Earnings ratios in the Fund’s Long Portfolio is 67% ofthe overall market multiple and only 90% of the Financials sector, so we are less concerned about the overallmarket reaching all-time highs.

Current Long Idea: Ally Financial (ALLY) – Consumer Finance

PAGE 14


Ally Financial is an auto lender with an online bank. Ally runs one of the leading online banks and has grown deposits greater than 20% annually since 2010. Roughly 50% of Ally’s assets are consumer auto loans, 30% are floorplan loans to dealers, and the remainder of the balance is split between first mortgage loans and corporate loans.

• The Portfolio Manager believes Ally Financial has asymmetric risk / reward at this level.

• Auto lender is currently trading below tangible book value.

• Ally’s stock is inexpensive in part due to what the Portfolio Manager believes is over-concern about the auto cycle.

• Self-help story by increasing yields on auto loans and reducing funding costs by growing online bank deposits.

• Company has cleaned up capital structure over past three years and plans to repurchase 7% of stock over next year like it did over each of the 3 previous years.

Current Long Idea: SVB Financial (SIVB) – Regional Bank

PAGE 15


SIVB is the bank holding company for Silicon Valley Bank, which has a strong franchise providing commercial banking to venture capital firms and their venture-backed investment companies. Over the past 20 years, SIVB’s stock has returned 17.3% annually compared to the S&P 500 returning 5.9% and the bank index returning 2.6%.

• The Portfolio Manager believes SVB Financial is an excellent growth financial stock trading at a discounted valuation.

• Regional bank focused on the venture capital community.

• Shares at low end of historical valuation range due to several temporary factors.

• Expect continued double-digit loan and deposit growth.

• Arguably, the Bank has the best deposit franchise in the nation with $40 billion of deposits costing only 0.20%.

Gator Thesis

• SIVB faces interest rate headwinds if rates decline

• Technology start-up valuations and velocity may be unsustainable

• SIVB’s technology lending is vulnerable to recession

• SIVB’s gains from warrants may be unsustainable

Current Long Idea: Barclays PLC (BCS) – European Bank

PAGE 16


BCS has been a frustrating stock for investors. But, we think improved stock price performance could finally be on the horizon for Barclays and hope our purchase will prove timely. Barclays should produce improved returns over the next three years due to its cost-cutting and reallocation of capital within its investment bank. Barclays is a “self-help” story.

• Largest UK investment bank and 2nd largest UK retail bank trading at 60% of tangible book value.

• Legacy issues and restructuring finally completed after 10 years.

• Likely to announce first stock repurchase in 20 years.

• Potential upside from recovery in trading business and/or a potential sin-off of retail bank from the corporate and investment bank.

• Activist investor, Sherborne Investors, has a 5% stake in the bank. Sherborne has a history of producing high returns from its activist investments.

Gator Thesis

• CEO’s job is at-risk

• Britain’s economy & Brexit

• Some investors perceive something is wrong with the culture at Barclays

• Capital Markets environment

Gator’s Approach to Shorting

PAGE 17

The Fund’s Short Portfolio is composed of four different types of holdings:

The Fund shorts companies that are facing secular headwinds, have flawed business models, or have completed value destroying M&A.

The Fund hedges its portfolio of TARP bank warrants by shorting about 20 SMID banks that have high valuations and are liability sensitive.

The Fund periodically hedges some of our TARP bank warrant positions with theunderlying common stock. The Fund may also hedge our Alternative Asset Manager positions with stock in their publicly traded portfolio companies.

The Fund uses several financial sector ETFs and leveraged ETFs to dynamically hedge the portfolioETF Hedges

Bank Hedges

Alpha Shorts

Single Stock Hedges

Current Alpha Shorts

1) Secular headwinds:a) Money management shift from active to passive.b) Online threat to incumbent Money Transfer firms: WU.

2) Flawed business models: LC, ATH, AMH & INVH.


Short – No Growth or Banks with High Valuations

PAGE 18

The Fund continues to short banks with high valuations that we believe are expensive and/or have low growth expectations.

Fund Has Ample Capacity

Analysis assumes trades are 20% of average trading volume in each stock. The Fund could liquidate all outside investor capital within 10 days.

Assuming Gator Financial reached $250 million in AUM, the Fund would still have more liquidity than three of our top Financials sector competitors*.

* Note – Assumes Gator does not add to its existing microcap positions.

Attribution of 2014-2016 Drawdown and Recovery

§ Gator had drawdown from February 2014 until January 2016. We had a strong recovery over the next 23 months.

§ The 5 positions that detracted the most during the drawdown drove the recovery.

§ This reflects our strong conviction in our portfolio positions. We correctly recognized the market decline did not signal a permanent impairment in value.
