Attempt to Confidence in upside/downside established make 50bps, tolerate a loss of 25bps) High confidence trades tend to be attempts to Longs and shorts make 50-75bps Geographically diversified Historical volatility used to back out the relevant size, place the stop and target, and risk manage Liquid (gap up and down) Portfolio construction We are risk budgeters. We work to a 10% annualised volatility target and try to maximise return on this budget in liquid emerging markets We do not target return. We target risk Trades enter the portfolio if they raise its risk-adjusted return If a trade leads the portfolio to violate the volatility and market neutrality parameters, it is eliminated, re-sized, or combined with an offsetting trade Adding and subtracting trades leads to a portfolio with an expected volatility of 10% and expected beta of zero A portfolio of diversified trades is implemented, balanced across longs and shorts 6 Investment process: four factor approach to idea generation Asset prices Fundamentals Position technicals Local contacts 1.

Stops and targets are dynamic conditional on sets of fundamental and technical developments A portfolio level peak to trough drawdown of 5% time can trigger an unwind of a minimum of 80% of the portfolio risk and re-assessment* Normal times volatility VaR constraints Catastrophic jumps and event risk Single name constraints Defaults FX, Equity and Credit Concentration limits Devaluations Liquidity Liquidity constraints * This is a general guideline that may be amended from time to time by GLG Partners LP without prior notice to investors. 8 Risk management framework details* 10% in single name Equity limits 25% per sector 25% per country (not region) Credit limits Jump to default risk limits based on implied credit riskiness of the issuer FX & IR Limits FX & Interest rate limits based of CCY Tiers Value at Risk ( VaR ) 3% daily limit, with 98% confidence interval Liquidity: Entire portfolio can ideally be unwound in five normal business days or less assuming usual market conditions *This risk management framework is indicative only.
