As I am sure you all know, we have been patiently waiting (and waiting, and waiting) for someone to ring a bell indicating that the global
inventory cycle has peaked. At this point, it is our intention to put rate risk back on our book. However, as we have diligently awaited a more
prosperous underwriting background the Fund lost 1% in February.

Rates cost a further 48bps, as the option premiums have contracted. The Japanese CDS portfolio gave back 72bp and elsewhere in the book
long equities made 31bps, tobacco bonds made 23bps, shorts cost 15bps, and FX cost 13bps.

News that Nippon Steel has agreed to merge with Sumitomo Metal saw credit spreads tighten in the steel sector where we maintain a large
exposure. With little business overlap and with both groups already making full use of their blast furnace capacity we do not share the
market's enthusiasm for this deal. Rather, we see it as a shotgun wedding that seeks to bolster Sumitomo's perilous financial condition. The
proposed deal will raise the combined entity's net debt to $29bn. We would remind you that steel is a volatile and cyclical business and that
both companies export nearly half of their output. Are the odds of a debt restructuring event really a 200:1 long shot? And yet Japan's
financial community shows no let up in their enthusiasm to risk $10m (less recovery) to receive annual premiums of just $60k per annum.

We will comment on the consequences of the Japanese earthquake in next month's report and will be shortly sending the mid-month
estimated NAV. I am available should anyone desire more information.

Before this dreadful event we commenced rebuilding some modest rate exposure. We were motivated by the prospect that member
countries of the world's two fixed exchange rate regimes (i.e. the Euro countries and the Asian dollar peggers) would tighten or continue
tightening monetary policy this year.

In fact, Mr. Trichet so much as confirmed a European hike in his hawkish address at the March ECB meeting. Effectively, he raised rates. In
doing so he risks drawing an undesirable comparison with the policy failures of the 1920s that came to a head in 1931 when the UK was forced
to increase rates despite having already endured six years of peripheral European-like fixed exchange rate austerity.

Asia's creditor nations have of course been tightening their monetary policy since January 2010 and with the usual leads and lags one should

REPORT
significant and potentially calamitous development for the global economy.
28 February 2011
In a sense, the macro outcome hangs on one’s interpretation of quantitative easing. It is my assertion that monetary easing represents an
enormous change to the benign policy which has driven global growth for the past 15 years. I equate the easing program with Roosevelt's
devaluation of the dollar in 1931 (that year keeps reappearing). By this I mean it could mark the moment when modern American policy
makers rejected globalisation. It is a direct attempt to address and remove the free rider (or mercantilist) problem associated with managing
the dollar as a public international good.

For the dollar's role as the world's sole reserve currency to continue I would contend that it is necessary that any one country's adoption of
the exchange rate should not subtract from another’s economic participation. In other words, China's gaming of the system via its cheap
currency peg should not subtract from the benefit to the US from having richer nations with which to trade.

However, the elevated state of private sector indebtedness in the US has thrown a spanner in the works. China's vendor financing agreement
remains available but the willingness of the US private sector to borrow more has been chastened by the memories of 2008; perhaps there is
a limit after all to the amount of leverage any economy can sustain for any given rate of interest.

As a result of this paradigm shift the dollar's role as the international reserve currency can no longer be viewed so benignly inside America: its
unemployment remains stubbornly high whereas China's total exports have recovered and are now well above their pre-2008 level.
Furthermore, with the US economy nearly slipping back into recession last summer the free rider nature of an international competitor's
under-valued exchange rate could no longer be assuaged by the prospect of a better tomorrow, i.e. the much promised realignment of the
Chinese economy from exports to consumption. With China unlikely to voluntarily cede the competitive advantage of a cheap nominal
currency, QE2 was chosen to do the job for them (by seeking a real appreciation in the renminbi via higher domestic Chinese prices).

I get this. I even sympathise with some of it, but it potentially opens up a can of worms. Please allow me to explain.

Liaquat Ahamed, in his essay in the March/April edition of Foreign Affairs magazine, raises the crucial concept of policy asymmetry as a
potential Achilles’ heel in the orderly management of pegged exchange rates. Europe's deficit countries have no policy choice; without a
currency of their own they must contract credit in order to control prices and regain international competitiveness. Of course there is no
similar compulsion for China and other creditors to loosen their monetary policy and allow domestic prices to rise. Such action would eat
away at their cherished export competitiveness.

 The Eclectica Fund
Do not be mistaken; it was pursuit of their own self-interest that encouraged China to “take one for the team” back in 2008 when it
unilaterally boosted public spending and sanctioned a massive surge in bank lending. If we measure success on the basis of GDP growth, then
PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTION REPORT
this decision has been vindicated. Chinese government data reveals a major turnaround in the contribution of net exports to growth, from
-3.7pct in 2009 to +0.8pct in 2010. Yet it is important to recognise that there was no exigent need to act in the way they did; they could just as
28 February 2011
easily have chosen to reduce leverage and withdraw from risky overseas lending.

Nonetheless, the ramifications of China’s actions during the crisis ensured the development of a nascent but very real
over-investment/property bubble. The Chinese are at the same time nursing an unprecedented income gap between the haves and the
have-nots. QE2 undoubtedly exacerbates these social disparities even further.

The eerie similarities between the Great Recession and the depression of the 1920s have to some extent dissipated, due in large part to the
willingness of Asian creditors to stimulate their domestic economies and bridge the gap left in the wake of severe economic contraction in the
West. Recently, however, the spectre of domestic inflation has prompted the East to remove the punch bowl.

Now the question to ask has to be whether or not China would be prepared to assume the role of hero all over again if global GDP runs out of
steam. The Fed's antagonistic quantitative easing program may have sapped its willingness to help out “team world”, in which case the only
remedy for a prospective slow down will be further QE and a Western commitment for rates to remain lower for longer.
