specified institutional investors (together with Private Funds, the “Clients” or “advisory Clients” of GAAM).
SMAs shall employ a long-only strategy, primarily investing in equities listed in Taiwan, Hong Kong and
China. SMAs employing other investment strategies may also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
C. GAAM tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of Clients by stipulating specific
investment
objective(s), the types of securities that are eligible for (or prohibited from) investing, investment guideline(s) and
risk management guideline(s) in the pertinent Private Fund document(s) or SMA agreement(s).
▪ Private Fund document(s) include an investment management (advisory) agreement (or other similar
agreement), a private placement memorandum, Side Letters (as defined below), due diligence questionnaires,
board resolutions of the Private Fund, etc.
▪ SMA agreement(s) include an investment management (advisory) agreement or other similar agreement signed
with each SMA Client.
▪ A Client may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities by providing restricted
list(s) of securities to GAAM.
▪ Side Letters:
1. Any of the Private Funds may from time to time enter into an agreement (the “Side Letter”) with an
Investor, which provides terms that are different from those described in the pertinent Private Fund
document(s), without the approval of any other Investor.
2. Rights or terms that a Side Letter may alter include, but are not limited to: (1) rights or terms necessary in
light of the particular legal, regulatory or public policy characteristics of an Investor, and (2) guidelines on
reporting under enhanced transparency. Such Side Letters or similar agreements, however, will not
combine preferential information rights with preferential redemption rights to the detriment of other
Investors.

Investors, unless it offers a lower fee or preferential liquidity to a particular Investor.

memorandum available to all Investors in the respective Private Fund.
5. To exercise discretion with respect to a Private Fund entering into a Side Letter, GAAM will disclose all
material terms of such a Side Letter to the board of directors of the Private Fund (and certain Investors) as
appropriate, and seek the advance approval of the respective Fund’s directors (and certain Investors).
