Important Risks: An investment in a Fund should be considered a speculative investment that entails substantial risks; you may lose part or all of your investment or your investment may not perform as well as other investments. A Fund’s investments involve special risks including, but not limited to, loss of all or a significant portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling, or other speculative practices, lack of liquidity and volatility of returns. The following is a summary description of certain additional principal risks of investing in a Fund.

Allocation Risk - Blackstone’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, sub-adviser or security may be incorrect and this may have a negative impact upon performance. Derivatives Risk - the use of derivatives involves the risk that their value may not move as expected relative to the value of the relevant underlying assets, rates, or indices. Derivatives can be subject to counterparty credit risk and may entail investment exposure greater than their notional amount. Distressed Securities Risk - investments in securities of business enterprises involved in workouts, liquidations, reorganizations, bankruptcies and similar situations involve a high degree of risk of loss since there is typically substantial uncertainty concerning the outcome of such situations. Event-Driven Trading Risk -involves the risk that the specific event identified may not occur as anticipated and that this may have a negative impact upon the market price or the securities involved. Foreign Investments/Emerging Markets Risk - involves special risks caused by foreign political, social and economic factors, including exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed and less efficient trading markets, political instability and less developed legal and auditing standards. High Portfolio Turnover Risk - active trading of securities can increase transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and taxable distributions. Model and Technology Risk - involves the risk that model-based strategies, data gathering systems, order execution and trade allocation systems and risk management systems may not be successful on an ongoing basis or could contains errors, omissions, imperfections or malfunctions. Multi-Manager Risk - managers may make investment decisions which conflict with each other and as a result, the Fund could incur transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result.


BLACKSTONE ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Dear Blackstone Investor,

We are pleased to present this annual shareholder report for Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds (“BAIF”), which includes Blackstone Alternative Multi-Manager Fund (“Multi-Manager Fund”) and Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund (“Multi-Strategy Fund”) (each individually referred to as a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”). This report includes portfolio commentary, a listing of each Fund’s investments and each Fund’s audited financial statements. Audited financial statements for Multi-Manager Fund cover the period from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 (“Multi-Manager Fund Reporting Period”), while the audited financial statements for Multi-Strategy Fund cover the period from June 16, 2014, the inception date of the Fund, to March 31, 2015 (“Multi-Strategy Fund Reporting Period”, and together with the Multi-Manager Fund Reporting Period, the “Reporting Period”).

Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. Each Fund seeks this objective by allocating its assets among a variety of nontraditional, or “alternative,” investment strategies. Blackstone Alternative Investment Advisors LLC (the “Investment Adviser”) determines the allocations of a Fund’s assets and allocates a majority of a Fund’s assets among investment sub-advisers with experience managing alternative investment strategies and among investment funds. Each sub-adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of a Fund’s assets that the Investment Adviser allocates to it. Subject to oversight by the Board of Trustees, the Investment Adviser is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating and/or replacing the Funds’ investment sub-advisers, and it may also manage a portion of the Funds’ assets directly.

Multi-Manager Fund Performance1

During the Multi-Manager Fund Reporting Period, Multi-Manager Fund generated a cumulative return, net of fees and expenses, of 5.24%2 and realized an annualized volatility3 of 4.11% with a Sharpe ratio4 of 1.27. Over the same period, the HFRX Absolute Return Index, a measure of hedge fund performance, returned 1.15%; the MSCI World Total Return Index, a measure of global equity market performance, returned 6.60%; and the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, a measure of U.S. investment grade bond performance, returned 5.72%.

The volatility of the indices presented may be materially different from that of the performance of the Multi-Manager Fund and the Multi-Strategy Fund. In addition, the indices employ different investment guidelines and criteria than the Funds; as a result, the holdings in the Funds may differ significantly from the securities that comprise the indices. The performance of the indices has not been selected to represent an appropriate benchmark to compare to the performance of the Funds, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Funds’ performance to that of well-known and widely recognized indices. A summary of the investment guidelines for the indices presented are available upon request. In the case of equity indices, performance of the indices reflects the reinvestment of dividends.

Past performance is not indicative of future results and there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objectives or avoid significant losses. Returns are shown net of fees and expenses.

 

3

“Volatility” refers to the standard deviation of returns. Standard deviation is a measure of how spread out a set of data is from its mean. The more spread apart the data, the higher the standard deviation. Standard deviation is calculated by taking the square root of the “variance” (the average of the squared difference between each number and the mean of the data set).

 

4 

“Sharpe ratio” is a ratio to measure risk-adjusted performance that is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate (such as the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond) from the rate of return for the a portfolio and dividing the result by the Standard Deviation (defined below) of the portfolio returns. The greater a portfolio’s Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been.

Multi-Strategy Fund Performance1

During the Multi-Strategy Fund Reporting Period, Multi-Strategy Fund generated a cumulative return, net of fees and expenses, of 4.43%2 and realized an annualized volatility3 of 3.72% with a Sharpe ratio4 of 1.50. Over the same period, the HFRX Absolute Return Index returned 0.91%; the MSCI World Total Return Index returned 2.48%; and the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.14%.

We are pleased with each Fund’s performance results thus far and remain focused on pursuing the Funds’ investment objective. As the world’s largest discretionary allocator to hedge funds5, with a 25 year track record in hedge fund investing, we will continue to leverage our due diligence, risk management, and investment expertise in identifying alternative investment strategies and investment sub-advisers for the Funds.

Portfolio Commentary

The fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 is one that saw continued sentiment changes and market gyrations in reaction to mixed global economic data, geopolitical events, and out of sync monetary policy announcements from the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and Federal Reserve (“Fed”). The Eurozone was a key driver of market action as the ECB’s efforts to counter the threat of deflation and to boost the economy led investors to anticipate looser monetary policy. Conversely, as the Fed became increasingly comfortable with signs of an improving U.S. economy and labor market, investors prepared for a steady course of tightening with rate hikes widely believed to start in late 2015/early 2016. A surge in the U.S. dollar (“USD”), arguably driven by the Fed’s response to the strengthening U.S. macroeconomic backdrop, also played a large role in global markets. An additional theme this year was the dislocation in energy markets caused by the plunge in crude oil prices by more than half.

During the Reporting Period, the Funds’ equity strategies were the largest contributor to performance, which was attributable to top-down allocation decisions as well as to bottom-up fundamental security selection. From a top-down perspective, although the U.S. equity market lacked a clear market trend, there were certainly pockets of opportunity as certain sectors significantly outperformed the broader market and offered investors greater opportunity for performance dispersion-based alpha. Thus, it was important where each Fund invested, and being overweight in particular sectors like healthcare and technology contributed to performance. Additionally, the current low interest rate environment is one that is conducive to M&A activity, and sub-advisers with expertise in anticipating transactions were able to capitalize on high levels of corporate activity. The Funds also benefited from successful bottom-up security selection by the sub-advisers. Equity long/short sub-advisers typically seek to maintain a hedged exposure profile that allows stock picking to be the primary driver of alpha6 on both the long and short sides of the portfolio. Two bottom-up investment themes that emerged over the course of the Reporting Period related to identifying companies that would thrive or suffer from the relative strength in the USD and to weakness in oil prices. For example, the strengthening USD negatively impacts multinational corporations, whose goods become more expensive in local currencies, disproportionately more than corporations that derive the majority of revenues domestically in the U.S. Along the same lines, sub-advisers sought to capitalize on the significant dislocation in oil prices by identifying companies that would benefit or suffer from lower oil prices. While one always hopes to be on the positive side of these trades, certainly there were instances where these themes detracted from performance, including when these themes resulted in heightened volatility. During the Reporting Period, two generalist equity sub-advisers were added to the portfolios.

“Alpha” is a measure of risk-adjusted performance which captures risk attributable to the specific security or portfolio rather than the overall market. A high alpha value implies that the investment has performed better than would have been expected relative to the overall market (beta). It is often called the “excess return” on an investment above a benchmark index or “risk free” rate of return.

The Funds’ credit strategies generally fared well over the past twelve months. While strategies in mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities were mixed overall, residential mortgage-backed securities continued to benefit from the U.S. economic recovery, which was a function of falling unemployment in the U.S. and continued housing price appreciation. As a result, these exposures appreciated during the Reporting Period and produced interest income. The key detractor within each Fund’s credit strategies was related to certain exposures in the energy sector and to debt from certain emerging markets countries that have a high reliance on oil and energy. Choppy markets such as those in October 2014 and December 2014 can also be difficult to navigate for trading-oriented sub-advisers that have shorter-term views and tighter risk limits. During the Reporting Period, two credit sub-advisers were added to the portfolios—one that specializes in liquid U.S. commercial real estate securities and one that focuses on non-mortgage related asset-backed securities.

We allocate a portion of each Fund’s assets to multi-asset/quantitative strategies because their expected lower correlations to equity and credit markets may offer diversification benefits to the Fund’s portfolio. During the Reporting Period, the Funds’ multi-asset/quantitative strategies collectively contributed positively to performance. Quantitative strategies posted gains across a variety of models and asset classes. In addition to positive performance, the quantitative strategies delivered diversification benefits during the period as evidenced by their low beta7 to traditional asset classes. On the other hand, certain global macro and emerging markets strategies detracted from performance. The key themes that impacted the macroeconomic landscape were the steep decline in oil prices, the strength of the USD and the flow of funds given the end of quantitative easing and the impending rate hikes by the Fed. Each of these themes was a headwind for exposures in emerging markets countries, particularly those that have high reliance on oil as a key export, and for exposures to emerging market debt instruments that are denominated in the local currency. During the Reporting Period, a sub-adviser with a focus on emerging markets credit, rates and currencies was added to the portfolio.

As mentioned above, five sub-advisers were hired for the Funds during the Reporting Period. These additions, together with the allocation decisions that occurred during the Reporting Period, reflect a deliberate, systematic approach to strategy selection that seeks to be able to react to and capture the changing opportunity set. This investment process requires forming a point of view on world economies, market fundamentals, investment techniques and strategies, and then refining that view to satisfy the Funds’ investment goals and restrictions. After framing our top-down views, an assessment is made of the relative attractiveness of certain investment strategies to the current and anticipated market environment. Having selected the strategies to which we want to allocate, we then allocate the Funds’ assets to sub-advisers with expertise in those strategies based upon our belief as to which sub-advisers are best able to profit in the current and anticipated environment.

Looking forward to the remainder of 2015, if the U.S. continues to slowly recover, we believe that distortions from central bank activity may recede over the next few quarters and interest rates will begin to normalize, shifting focus from macroeconomic policy to microeconomic fundamentals. This environment could produce relatively high levels of dispersion among stocks, which may enable alpha generation for sub-advisers who are focused on security selection. Outside of the U.S., we are exploring cross-geography and cross-asset class opportunistic themes given diverging stages of economic recovery and, thus, very different central bank policy responses. However, despite a healthy pipeline of opportunities, we remain cautious given current valuations and potential risks that could disrupt markets, and will position the portfolio with a focus on capital preservation.

Thank you for your continued confidence in us. We look forward to continuing to service your investment needs in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Stephen Sullens

“Beta” is a measure of the sensitivity of a fund’s return to the return of an index. If the beta = 1, then the return will move with that of the index. If the beta is > 1, the return is more volatile than the index whereas if the beta is < 1, the return is less volatile than the index.

Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Period Ended March 31, 2015

 

1. Organization

Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, which may be divided into different series and classes. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of two series that have commenced operations, Blackstone Alternative Multi-Manager Fund (“Multi-Manager Fund”) and Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund (“Multi-Strategy Fund”) (each individually referred to as a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). The Multi-Manager Fund and the Multi-Strategy Fund are non-diversified funds that commenced operations offering Class I Shares on August 6, 2013 and June 16, 2014, respectively. The Multi-Strategy Fund also offers Class D Shares, Class Y Shares and Class R Shares, of which, Class D Shares and Class Y Shares commenced operations on November 17, 2014 and January 28, 2015, respectively.

The investment adviser of the Funds is Blackstone Alternative Investment Advisors LLC (“BAIA” or the “Investment Adviser”), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Board of Trustees (the “Board” and each member a “Trustee”) of the Trust supervises the conduct of each Fund’s affairs and, pursuant to an investment management agreement, has engaged BAIA to manage each Fund’s day-to-day investment activities. Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Investment Adviser seeks to achieve the Funds’ objectives by allocating the Funds’ assets among a variety of non-traditional or, “alternative,” investment strategies. The Investment Adviser determines the allocations of the Funds’ assets and allocates a majority of the Funds’ assets among the sub-advisers (the “Sub-Advisers”) with experience managing alternative investment strategies and among investment funds, and may also manage a portion of the Funds’ assets directly. Each Sub-Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds’ assets that the Investment Adviser allocates to it. The Investment Adviser has the responsibility to oversee each Sub-Adviser (subject to the oversight of the Board).

Each Fund’s assets may be invested in three wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries of the Fund (collectively, the Subsidiaries), each of which has the same investment objective as the Funds. One of each Fund’s Subsidiaries, Blackstone Alternative Multi-Manager Sub Fund II Ltd. and Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Sub Fund II Ltd. (the “Cayman Subsidiaries), is a Cayman Islands exempted company. Each of the other Subsidiaries, Blackstone Alternative Multi-Manager Sub Fund III L.L.C. and Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Sub Fund III L.L.C., (the “Domestic Subsidiaries III”), and Blackstone Alternative Multi-Manager Sub Fund IV L.L.C. and Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Sub Fund IV L.L.C. (the “Domestic Subsidiaries IV”), are Delaware limited liability companies. The Cayman Subsidiaries invest, directly or indirectly through the use of derivatives, in securities and commodity interests. Domestic Subsidiaries III and Domestic Subsidiaries IV invest, directly or indirectly through the use of derivatives, almost entirely in securities (with only de minimis exposure to commodity interests). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Multi-Manager Fund and its applicable Subsidiaries and the Multi-Strategy Fund and its applicable Subsidiaries. Except where context otherwise requires, the term “Fund” refers to the Fund together with the applicable Subsidiaries.

The Funds and the Cayman Subsidiaries are each a commodity pool subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). BAIA, the commodity pool operator of the Funds and the Cayman Subsidiaries, is registered as such with the CFTC, but has claimed relief under Rules 4.12(c)(3) and 4.7 of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”), respectively, from certain disclosure, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements otherwise applicable to commodity pools. None of the Domestic Subsidiaries III and Domestic Subsidiaries IV intend to invest more than a de minimis level of its net assets in “commodity interests” (as defined under the CEA). Accordingly, BAIA has claimed an exemption under Rule 4.13(a)(3) from

registration as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Domestic Subsidiaries III and the Domestic Subsidiaries IV, and such pools are not subject to regulation by the CFTC.

Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning assigned to them in the respective Prospectus of each of the Funds.

2. Basis of Presentation

Each Fund’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and these differences could be material.

The Funds are investment companies in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), which defines investment companies and prescribes specialized accounting and reporting requirements for investment companies.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time) on each day that the NYSE is open for business (a “Business Day”).

Valuation Policy

For purposes of calculating the NAV, each Fund values its investments in securities, securities sold short, derivative financial instruments and other investments at fair value. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (i.e. the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Board has established procedures for determining the fair value of securities, including securities sold short, and derivative financial instruments and other investments (together the “investments”) (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Board has delegated to the Investment Adviser day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures. The Investment Adviser’s management has formed the Fair Value Committee (the “FVC”), which provides oversight of the valuation and pricing function of each Fund for all investments. Pursuant to the Valuation Procedures, if market quotations are not readily available (or are otherwise not reliable for a particular investment), the fair value will be determined, in good faith by the FVC, and such determinations shall be reported to the Board. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, estimates of fair value may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed and the differences could be material.

Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/ask information, or broker-dealer quotations), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of the NYSE, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s investments. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to the FVC and the Investment Adviser the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially

 

234


Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the Period Ended March 31, 2015

 

affect the values of each Fund’s investments and for determining whether the value of the applicable investments should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events. There were no instances of such determination made as of March 31, 2015.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The hierarchy established under the fair value guidance gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 – quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The Funds do not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

The types of investments categorized within Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, and derivative financial instruments actively traded on recognized exchanges.

Level 2 – quoted prices are available in markets that are not active or model inputs are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. Investments in investment funds or hedge funds (“Investee Funds”) are classified as Level 2 if the Funds have the ability to redeem their investment in the Investee Fund at the reported net asset value per share (or its equivalent) at the measurement date or within 90 days thereof, upon no greater than 90 days prior written notice and there are no other potential liquidity restrictions that could be invoked within 90 days of the measurement date.

The types of investments categorized within Level 2 generally include certain foreign equities; fixed income securities including corporate and convertible bonds, loans, trade claims, sovereign debt obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities; over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative financial instruments such as total return swaps, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, OTC options; and forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

Level 3 – pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. Inputs reflect the best estimate of what market participants would use in determining fair value of investments as of the measurement date. Investments in Investee Funds that are subject to a minimum holding period or lockup greater than 90 days from the measurement date, are in liquidation, cannot be redeemed within 90 days of the measurement date, are subject to redemption notice periods in excess of 90 days, have limited the individual amount of shareholder redemptions and/or aggregate amount of shareholder redemptions, or have suspended redemptions are classified as Level 3.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause an investment to be reclassified between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

A description of the valuation techniques applied to each Fund’s major categories of investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Exchange-Traded Securities

Equity securities, including common stock, listed preferred stock, exchange-traded funds, and derivative financial instruments, such as futures contracts and option contracts, that are traded on a recognized securities exchange or on the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sales price (or the official closing price of certain foreign exchanges) or the NASDAQ official closing price, as applicable. For securities traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sales price on the exchange where the security is primarily traded is used. To the extent these securities and derivative financial instruments are actively traded and adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The Funds may use a third-party fair valuation service provider to value foreign equity securities that are primarily traded outside of North and South America. The third-party fair valuation service provider calculates a factor that is applied to adjust the last price of each such security in the event that there is movement in excess of a specified trigger as measured by the movement between the prior close and the current close of the U.S. market. Foreign equities for which the last price has been adjusted by such factor will generally be categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2015, no such adjustments have been made.

OTC Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments, such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts, OTC options contracts, or swap agreements, derive their value from underlying referenced instruments or obligations, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination thereof. These contracts are normally valued by pricing service providers or based on broker dealer quotations. Depending on the nature of the instruments and the terms of the transaction, the value of derivative financial instruments can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange. For centrally cleared credit default swaps the clearing facility requires its members to provide actionable levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third-party prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates to produce the daily settlement price. These securities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed Income Securities

Fixed income securities, including corporate and convertible bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, foreign debt obligations, bank loans, and trade claims, are normally valued by pricing service providers on the basis of last

 

236


Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the Period Ended March 31, 2015

 

available bid price. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price. The pricing service providers’ internal models use observable inputs such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. These securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage-related and ABS that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 securities are valued by broker quotes or pricing services that may employ valuation techniques with unobservable inputs. At March 31, 2015, the values of these Level 3 securities for Multi-Manager Fund and Multi-Strategy Fund were approximately $11,930,962 and $19,084,537, respectively. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities are monitored on an ongoing basis which may include results of backtesting, results of pricing due diligence, unchanged price review, use of specialists, and consideration of macro security specific events.

Investment in Investee Fund

The fair value of investments in Investee Funds is generally determined using the reported net asset value per share of the Investee Fund, or its equivalent, as a practical expedient for fair value, unless the investment in Investee Fund is traded on a recognized securities exchange and a quoted price is available as of the measurement date. If there is no quoted price available, the Funds may, as a practical expedient, estimate the fair value of an Investee Fund based on the reported net asset value per share or its equivalent if the reported net asset value per share or its equivalent of the Investee Fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles applied to investment companies, in accordance with ASC 946.

Securities and Other Investments

Bank Loans

The Funds may invest in bank loans including, for example, corporate loans, loan participations, direct debt, bank debt, and bridge debt. Each Fund invests in loans through novations, assignments, and participation interests. In a novation, a Fund typically assumes all of the rights of a lending institution in a loan, including the right to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts directly from the borrower and to enforce its rights as a lender directly against the borrower. When a Fund takes an assignment of a loan, the Fund acquires some or all of the interest of another lender (or assignee) in the loan. In such cases, the Funds may be required generally to rely upon the assignor to demand payment and enforce rights under the loan. If a Fund acquires a participation in the loan, the Fund purchases an indirect interest in a loan held by a third party and the Fund typically will have a contractual relationship only with the third party loan investor, not with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which it is entitled only from the loan investor selling the participation and only upon receipt by such loan investor of such payments from the borrower. In such cases, the Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the loan investor selling the participation, and the Fund may be unable to realize some or all of the value of its interest in the loan in the event of the insolvency of the third party.

Changes in the financial condition of the borrower or economic conditions or other circumstances may reduce the capacity of the borrower to make principal and interest payments on such instruments and may lead to defaults.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities

The Funds may invest in mortgage-related securities (residential and commercial) and other ABS. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation, or are secured by and payable from mortgage loans on real property. Mortgage related and other ABS represent interests in pools of mortgages, loans or other assets. Mortgage-related securities are created from pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans, including loans made by savings and loans institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks and others. These securities provide a monthly payment which consists of both interest and principal payments. Interest payments may be determined by fixed or adjustable rates. Although ABS and CMBS generally experience less prepayment risk than RMBS, each of RMBS, CMBS and ABS, like traditional fixed-income securities, are subject to credit, interest rate, prepayment and extension risks.

Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. The Funds’ investments in ABS are subject to risks similar to those associated with mortgage-related securities, as well as additional risks associated with the nature of the assets and the servicing of those assets. These securities also are subject to the risk of default on the underlying mortgage or assets, particularly during periods of economic downturn. The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S Government.

Mortgage-backed securities may be either pass-through securities or CMO. Pass-through securities represent a right to receive principal and interest payments collected on a pool of mortgages, which are passed through to security holders. CMO are created by dividing the principal and interest payments collected on a pool of mortgages into several revenue streams (tranches) with different priority rights to portions of the underlying mortgage payments. Certain CMO tranches may represent a right to receive interest only (“IOs”), principal only (“POs”) or an amount that remains after floating-rate tranches are paid (an “inverse floater”). These securities may be extremely sensitive to changes in interest rates. Interest rates on inverse floaters, for example, vary inversely with a short-term floating rate (which may be reset periodically). Interest rates on inverse floaters will decrease when short-term rates increase, and will increase when short-term rates decrease. These securities have the effect of providing a degree of investment leverage. In response to changes in market interest rates or other market conditions, the value of an inverse floater may increase or decrease at a multiple of the increase or decrease in the value of the underlying securities. If a Fund invests in CMO tranches (including CMO tranches issued by government agencies) and interest rates move in a manner not anticipated by the Investment Adviser, it is possible that the Fund could lose all or substantially all of its investment.

Securities Sold Short

The Funds may sell securities short (a “Short Sale”). A Short Sale is a transaction whereby a Fund sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of those securities, whereby a Fund’s broker will execute a borrow transaction to deliver the securities resulting from the Fund’s Short Sale. The Funds are obligated to repurchase the securities at the market price at the time of replacement. The Fund’s obligations to replace the securities in connection with a Short Sale are secured by collateral.

 

238


Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the Period Ended March 31, 2015

 

Upon entering into a Short Sale, the Funds establish a liability which is recorded as securities sold short in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities to represent securities due under the Short Sale agreement. The Funds are liable to pay any dividends declared and/or interest income earned during the period the Short Sale is open. These dividends and interest are recorded as dividend and interest expense on securities sold short in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation for the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the open Short Sale position is recorded as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation from investments on securities sold short in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recognized when the short position is closed as a net realized gain or loss from investments on securities sold short in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on non-defaulted fixed income securities, is recorded on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable.

Cash

At March 31, 2015, the Multi-Manager Fund and the Multi-Strategy Fund had $276,096,042 and $373,565,803, respectively, in domestic cash and $9,497,074 and $5,767,921, respectively, in foreign cash held at a major U.S. bank.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of each Fund is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing prices of such currencies on each Business Day. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions or when accrued. The Funds do not isolate the portion of realized or unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the fair value of the investments. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net realized exchange gains or losses on disposition of foreign currencies and currency gains and losses realized between trade and settlement dates on investment transactions. Net unrealized appreciation and deprecation of assets and liabilities, other than investments, attributable to foreign currency fluctuations are recorded as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency translations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Contingencies

Under the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, each of the Funds’ officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and indemnifications. The Funds expect the risk of loss pursuant to these indemnifications to be remote.

Income Taxes

The Funds’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its investment company taxable income and net long-term capital gains to its shareholders.

Therefore, no federal income tax provision is expected to be required. The Funds plan to file U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns.

For the open tax years and all major jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

Organization Costs

Organizational expenses associated with the establishment of the Funds were expensed by the Funds as incurred and reimbursed by the Investment Adviser in accordance with the terms of the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement agreement (see Note 7).

Offering Costs

Offering costs are amortized over 12 months on a straight-line basis beginning on the date of commencement of operations.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains of the Funds, if any, are generally declared and paid in December, however, the Funds may make additional distributions at other times. Dividends and capital gain distributions paid by the Funds will be reinvested in additional Shares (see Note 6) of the Funds or, if elected by the Shareholder, paid in cash.

Segregation and Collateralization

In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and its staff require that a Fund either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps and options written), or transactions considered to reflect borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements), the Fund will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive guidance issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, a Fund engaging in such transactions may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral for certain investments to the extent consistent with the 1940 Act and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff. The Funds may mitigate counterparty risk by procuring collateral and through netting provisions included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) implemented between each Fund and each of its respective counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement may contain certain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Certain ISDA Master Agreements, or similar agreements, may allow the Funds to offset certain derivative financial instruments’ with collateral. At March 31, 2015, the Funds used the gross method of presentation in their consolidated financial statements and did not elect to offset amounts eligible for offset under enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is generally based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $250,000. Collateral pledged by the Funds is segregated by the Funds’ custodian and identified as such in each Fund’s portfolio. Collateral can be in the form of cash or securities as agreed to by the Funds and the applicable counterparty. Typically, the Funds and counterparties are not permitted to sell, repledge or use the collateral they receive unless explicitly permitted by each respective governing agreement.

The Funds manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that are believed to have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The agreements entered into by the Funds may contain credit risk related contingent features that may be triggered in certain circumstances to protect either party from a deterioration in creditworthiness of the other. Such circumstances may include a decrease in credit rating or, in the case of a Fund, a decrease in net asset value. If triggered, the fund or counterparty may be entitled to additional cash margin and/or to terminate the contract. Please refer to Note 9 for a further discussion of the risks of a Fund, including Credit and Counterparty Risk.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund sells a security in exchange for cash to a financial institution, the counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same security at an agreed upon price and date, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). The Fund is entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security delivered to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest payments to be made by the Fund to counterparties is reflected as a liability. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities purchased with the proceeds from the sale of securities received by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve credit risk with the counterparty to the extent that the value of securities subject to repurchase exceed the Fund’s liability under the reverse repurchase agreement. Securities subject to repurchase under reverse repurchase agreements, if any, are designated as such in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Due to the short term nature of the reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value. As of March 31, 2015, the face values of open reverse repurchase agreements for Multi-Manager Fund and Multi-Strategy Fund were $119,600,710 and $35,288,710, respectively. The weighted average daily balances of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding during the period ended March 31, 2015 for Multi-Manager Fund and Multi-Strategy Fund were approximately $61,215,119 and $21,420,961, respectively, at a weighted average weekly interest rate of 1.59% and 1.61%, respectively.

An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. An MRA also permits offsetting with collateral to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty. The following table presents the reverse repurchase agreements, which are subject to enforceable MRAs, as well as the collateral delivered related to those reverse repurchase agreements.

Securities Lending

The Funds may lend securities, through their agent, to certain qualified financial institutions. The loans are collateralized by cash in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is allocated to each Fund on the next Business Day. The initial collateral received by each Fund should have a value of at least 102% of the current value of loaned securities for U.S. securities and at least 105% for all other securities. The risk of borrower default will be borne by the Fund’s agent; the Funds will bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the cash collateral. The advantage of such loans is that each Fund continues to receive income on loaned securities while earning returns on the cash amounts which may be reinvested for the purchase of investment in securities. Income from securities lending is included in investment income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of March 31, 2015, the market value of securities loaned for Multi-Manager Fund and Multi-Strategy Fund amounted to $72,515,411 and $69,038,609, respectively, and each Fund had received cash collateral of $74,949,395 and $71,359,374, respectively.

The securities lending agreement entered into by each Fund provides the right, in the event of default, for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. Under the agreement, the Funds can reinvest cash collateral.

The following table is a summary of each Fund’s securities lending agreements by borrower/counterparty which are subject to offset under the securities lending agreement as of March 31, 2015:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) – Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The guidance requires that repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing be accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance also requires new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction and expanded disclosures about the nature of collateral

pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Funds are still evaluating the impact of this guidance.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into derivative financial instrument contracts for trading and/or economic hedging purposes to increase the returns of the Funds or to protect against exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk or other risk (e.g. inflation risk). These contracts may be transacted on a recognized exchange or OTC. The following disclosures contain information on how the Funds use derivative financial instruments. The derivative financial instruments outstanding as of period end are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to obtain investment exposure, enhance return or hedge or protect its portfolio holdings against the risk of future movements in certain foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, are agreements between two parties to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed upon future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with the changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are valued daily and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. When a contract is closed, each Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities of the Funds, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the currency holdings, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to losses if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts. Each Fund’s maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened. These contracts involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures Contracts

The Funds may enter into futures contracts to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to enhance return. The Funds may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. A Fund must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities which is returned when the Fund’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as segregated cash balance with broker for futures contracts on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by a Fund depending on whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed or expires, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The potential risk to the Funds is that the change in value of futures contracts may not correspond to the change in the value of the hedge investments. In addition, losses may

 

244


Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the Period Ended March 31, 2015

 

arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument, if interest or exchange rates move unexpectedly or if the counterparty is unable to perform. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange traded and the exchanges’ clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

Options Contracts

The Funds purchase and write call and put options. An option contract purchased by a Fund gives the Fund the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying instrument at a fixed exercise price during a specified period. Call options written by a Fund give the holder the right to buy the underlying instrument from the Fund at a fixed exercise price; put options written by a Fund give the holder the right to sell the underlying instrument to the Fund at a fixed exercise price. The Funds may use options to hedge against changes in values of securities or currencies it owns or expects to own, to gain or to maintain exposure to interest rates, currencies or broad equity markets, to generate additional income or to enhance returns.

Options trading involve certain additional risks. Specific market movements of the option and the instruments underlying the option cannot be predicted. No assurance can be given that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option or at any particular time. A Fund might not be able to enter into a closing transaction for the option as a result of an illiquid market for the option. To realize any profit in the case of an option, therefore, the option holder would need to exercise the option and comply with margin requirements for the underlying instrument. A writer could not terminate the obligation until the option expired or the writer was assigned an exercise notice. The purchaser of an option is subject to the risk of losing the entire purchase price of the option. The writer of an option is subject to the risk of loss resulting from the difference between the premium received for the option and the price of the futures contract underlying the option that the writer must purchase or deliver upon exercise of the option. The writer of a naked option may have to purchase the underlying contract in the market for substantially more than the exercise price of the option in order to satisfy his delivery obligations. This could result in a large net loss.

Equity, foreign currency or index options that may be purchased or sold by the Funds may include options not traded on a securities exchange. The risk of nonperformance by the counterparty on such option may be greater and the ability of a Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to such option may be less than in the case of an exchange traded option.

Purchases of put and call options are recorded as investments, the value of which are marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires without being exercised, the Fund will realize a loss equal to the premium paid. When a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium initially paid for the option. When a Fund exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying instrument and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid for the put option. When a Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid for the call option. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investments.

The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The liability is marked-to-market daily in accordance with the option’s valuation policy. When a written option expires without being exercised or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying instrument and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss, as adjusted for

the premium received, from the sale of the underlying instrument. When a written put option is exercised, the premium received is offset against the amount paid for the purchase of the underlying instrument.

Swap Agreements

The Funds may enter into total return, interest rate, and credit default swap agreements (“Swaps”). Swaps are bilaterally negotiated agreements between a Fund and a counterparty in which the Fund and counterparty agree to make either periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). A Fund may enter into swap agreements for the purposes of managing exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk, or for other purposes. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash (“segregated cash” or “collateral”) may be paid or received, as applicable, by the Funds as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Securities posted by a Fund as collateral for swaps are identified in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and segregated cash, if any, is reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, or that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions or interest rates. In addition, entering into swap agreements involves documentation risk resulting from the possibility that the parties to a swap agreement may disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreement. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted value of the net cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive, or the fair value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between a Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to centrally cleared swaps is mitigated due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.

Interest Rate Swaps: The Funds may enter into OTC and/or centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest rate risk, to gain exposure on interest rates and to hedge prepayment risk. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may hold fixed rate bonds, and the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating rate, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, as opposed to investment and other types of risk, in respect of interest rate swaps is typically the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contracts remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive.

Interest rate swaps can be purchased or sold with an upfront premium. An upfront payment received by a Fund is recorded as a liability on the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. An upfront payment made by a Fund is recorded as an asset on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily and any change is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on swaps. Daily fluctuations in the value of centrally cleared interest rate swaps are recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments, including upfront premiums, received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses at the closing of the contract.

Total Return Swaps: The Funds may enter into total return swap agreements to obtain exposure to a security, index or market without owning such security or investing directly in that security, index or market or to transfer the risk/return of one market (e.g., fixed income) to another market (e.g., equity) (equity risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of the underlying instrument, which may include a specified security, index, basket of securities or securities indices during the specific period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or floating rate or the total return from other underlying assets. To the extent the total return of the instrument underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Total return swaps can also be structured without an interest payment, so that one party pays the other party if the value of the underlying instrument increases and receives payment from the other party if the value of the underlying asset decreases.

Credit Default Swaps: The Funds may enter into OTC credit default swap contracts to hedge credit risk, to hedge market risk, or to gain exposure on single-name issues and/or baskets of securities.

In an OTC credit default swap contract, the protection buyer typically makes an upfront payment and a periodic stream of payments to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference obligation or all other equally

ranked obligations of the reference entity. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructurings and obligation acceleration. An upfront payment received by a Fund or made by a Fund is recorded as a liability or asset, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. Credit default swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on swaps. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the difference between the par value and the market value of the reference obligation, net of any proportional amount of upfront payment, is recorded as a realized gain or loss on swaps.

Interest rate swaps, total return swaps and credit default swaps outstanding at period end are listed after the Funds’ Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

7. Investment Adviser Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fee

Pursuant to the investment management agreement between the Investment Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, each Fund pays the Investment Adviser a management fee (the “Fund Management Fee”) at an annual rate based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, excluding the net assets of the applicable Subsidiaries. The Investment Adviser receives additional compensation at an annual rate based on each Subsidiary’s average daily net assets for providing management services to the Subsidiaries. For collective net assets of each Fund and the respective Subsidiaries up to $2.5 billion, the Fund Management Fee shall be 1.95% (annualized) and for collective net assets greater than or equal to $2.5 billion, the Fund Management Fee shall be 1.80% (annualized). During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, the Multi-Manager Fund paid the Investment Adviser $24,525,452 in management fees. From this amount, the Investment Adviser paid $11,594,518 in sub-advisory fees to non-affiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to the Multi-Manager Fund, which amounted to 0.87% of the Fund’s net assets. The Investment Adviser also paid $343,356 in sub-advisory fees to Bayview Asset Management, LLC (“Bayview”), a Sub-Adviser that, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, was an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, with respect to the Multi-Manager Fund, which amounted to 0.03% of the Fund’s net assets. During the period from June 16, 2014 (the date the Multi-Strategy Fund commenced operations) to March 31, 2015, the Multi-Strategy Fund paid the Investment Adviser $9,642,200 in management fees. From this amount, the Investment Adviser paid $4,446,937 in sub-advisory fees to non-affiliated sub-advisers with respect to the Multi-Strategy Fund, which amounted to 0.37% of the Fund’s net assets. The Investment Adviser also paid $193,353 in sub-advisory fees to Bayview with respect to the Multi-Strategy Fund, which amounted to 0.02% of the Fund’s net assets.

Sub-Advisory Fees

Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements between the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, the Sub-Advisers are compensated for the services they provide to the Funds by the Investment Adviser from the Management Fee received by the Investment Adviser.

Distribution and Service Fees

Pursuant to the amended and restated Distribution and Service Plan, Multi-Strategy Fund Class D Shares bear distribution and service fees at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to Class D Shares. Payments of the distribution and service fee may be made without regard to expenses actually incurred. Multi-Manager Class I Shares and Multi-Strategy Class I Shares and Class Y Shares are not subject to distribution and service fees.

Expense Limitation and Reimbursement

The Investment Adviser has entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement (the “Multi-Manager Fund Agreement”) with the Multi-Manager Fund to limit the amount of Specified Expenses (as defined below) of the Fund to 0.45% per annum of the Fund’s net assets (the “Multi-Manager Fund Total Expense Cap”). Specified Expenses include all expenses incurred by the Multi-Manager Fund with the exception of (i) the Management Fee, (ii) the distribution and service fees, (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses, (iv) brokerage and trading costs, (v) interest payments (including any interest expenses, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any line of credit of the Fund), (vi) taxes, (vii) dividends and interest on short positions, and (viii) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of BAIA) (together, the “Multi-Manager Fund Excluded Expenses”).

The Investment Adviser has also entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement (the “Multi-Strategy Fund Agreement”) with the Multi-Strategy Fund to limit the amount of Specified Expenses

 

260


Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds and Subsidiaries

(as defined below) of the Fund to 2.40% per annum of the Fund’s net assets for Class D Shares, Class I Shares and Class Y Shares and 2.55% per annum of the Fund’s net assets for Class R Shares (collectively, the “Multi-Strategy Total Expense Cap”). Specified Expenses include all expenses incurred by the Multi-Strategy Fund with the exception of (i) the distribution or service fees, (ii) acquired fund fees and expenses, (iii) brokerage and trading costs, (iv) interest payments (including any interest expenses, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any line of credit of the Fund), (v) taxes, (vi) dividends and interest on short positions, and (vii) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of BAIA) (together, the “Multi-Strategy Excluded Expenses”).

To the extent the estimated annualized specified expenses for any month exceeds the total expense cap, the Investment Adviser will waive its fees and/or make payments to the Funds for expenses to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Investment Adviser may discontinue its obligations under the agreements at any time in its sole discretion after May 31, 2016 upon written notice to a Fund. The Funds have agreed to repay the amounts borne by the Investment Adviser under their respective agreements within the thirty-six month period after the Investment Adviser bears the expense, to the extent the estimated annualized Specified Expenses for a given month are less than the lower of the Total Expense Cap and any expense limitation agreement then in effect. The repayment may not raise the level of estimated annualized specified expenses in the month of repayment to exceed the total expense cap.

During the year-ended March 31, 2015, repayments to the Investment Adviser were as follows:

9. Financial Instruments and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Market Risk: In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations.

Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Funds manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Funds’ Investment Adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Funds restrict exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into master netting agreements with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom they undertake a significant volume of transactions. Collateral requirements may differ by type of derivative or investment, as applicable. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives (e.g., futures contracts and exchange traded options) while collateral terms are contract specific for OTC traded derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swap agreements and OTC options). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement or similar master agreement, the collateral requirements may be netted across all transactions traded under such agreement and certain counterparties may allow one amount to be posted from one party to the other to collateralized such obligations. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each Fund the right, upon an event of default by the applicable counterparty or a termination of the agreement, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and may permit net amounts owed under each transaction to be netted to derive one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the Fund’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Fund under the applicable transactions, if any. The enforceability of the right to offset may vary by jurisdiction. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund under derivative financial instrument contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Investment Risk: The investments by the Funds in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, require settlement in foreign currencies and pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency exchange contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the Period Ended March 31, 2015

 

Liquidity Risk: Some securities held by the Funds may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If a Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.

Non-Diversification Risk: Each Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” investment company, which means that the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer is not limited by the 1940 Act. As a result, the Funds’ investment portfolios may be subject to greater risk and volatility than if investments had been made in the securities of a broad range of issuers.

Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described within the respective security type notes. Each Fund’s Prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

10. Investment Transactions

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investments in securities (excluding U.S. Treasury obligations and U.S. government sponsored agency securities) (including maturities), other than short-term investments (if applicable), for the period ended March 31, 2015 were as follows:

 

     Multi-Manager
Fund
  Multi-Strategy
Fund

Purchases

    $ 2,974,691,782       $ 1,773,629,881  

Sales

    $ 2,689,798,434       $ 931,165,768  

11. Income Tax Information

The Funds intend to qualify each tax year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Funds have adopted a tax year-end of October 31, therefore unless otherwise indicated, all applicable tax disclosures reflect tax adjusted balances as of October 31, 2014. The Funds intend to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and all of its net realized short-term and long-term capital gain, if any, after giving effect to any available capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, the Funds make no provision for U.S. federal income or excise taxes.

Each Fund’s policy is to declare and pay distributions from net investment income and from net realized short-term and long-term capital gain, if any, at least annually. All distributions are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund, at net asset value, unless the shareholder elects to receive cash distributions. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences that arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will reverse at some time in the future. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over-distributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes.

The Funds are subject to authoritative guidance related to the accounting and disclosure of uncertain tax positions under U.S. GAAP. This guidance sets forth a minimum threshold for the financial statement recognition of tax positions taken based on the technical merits of such positions. United States and non-U.S. tax rules (including the interpretation and application of tax laws) are subject to change. The Funds file tax returns and/or adopt certain tax positions in various jurisdictions. Non-U.S. taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the prevailing tax rules of the non-U.S. markets in which they invest. Recently enacted tax rules, including interpretations of tax laws (e.g., regulations pertaining to the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and proposed legislation currently under consideration in various jurisdictions, including the U.S., might affect the way the Funds and their investors are taxed prospectively and/or retroactively. Prior to the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations, if any, the Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. jurisdictions with respect to the tax returns they have filed and the tax positions they have adopted. The Funds’ U.S. federal income tax returns are generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they were filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction.

12. Borrowings Under Credit Facility

Each Fund has a secured revolving borrowing facility (the “Facility”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”) for $30,000,000 (the “Aggregate Commitment Amount”). Borrowings under the Facility are used primarily for bridge financing purposes and are secured by the assets of the Funds. Under the terms of the agreement, the Aggregate Commitment Amount may be terminated or reduced from time to time upon written notice from the Funds to the Bank. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to 0.85% plus the Overnight LIBOR Rate per annum (0.96% at March 31, 2015). A commitment fee is charged in the amount of 0.20% per annum for each day during which the aggregate outstanding principal balance is less than 50% of the sum of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, and 0.10% per annum at all other times. Outstanding borrowings and accrued interest are due no later than February 1, 2016 and July 1, 2015 for the Multi-Manager Fund and Multi-Strategy Fund, respectively, the termination dates of each Fund’s Facility, at which time the Funds and the Bank can agree to extend the existing agreement. For the period ended March 31, 2015, the Funds made no borrowings under each Fund’s respective Facility.

13. Subsequent Events

The Investment Adviser has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date of financial statement issuance, and determined there were no subsequent events outside the normal course of business requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of Blackstone Alternative Multi-Manager Fund and Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund and Board of Trustees of Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds (the “Funds”) comprising the Blackstone Alternative Multi-Manager Fund and Subsidiaries (the “Multi-Manager Fund”) and Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund and Subsidiaries (the “Multi-Strategy Fund”) as of March 31, 2015, the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of the Multi-Manager Fund for the year then ended, and the consolidated statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented; and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Multi-Strategy Fund for the period June 16, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2015. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Blackstone Alternative Multi-Manager Fund and Subsidiaries and Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund and Subsidiaries each of Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds as of March 31, 2015, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Multi-Manager Fund for the year then ended, and the consolidated changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented; and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and the changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Multi-Strategy Fund for the period June 16, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Blackstone Alternative Multi-Manager Fund and Subsidiaries

Shareholder Fee Example (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Multi-Manager Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The expense example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six month period ended March 31, 2015.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements

At meetings of the Board held in person on November 18-19, 2014, February 24-25, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered and unanimously approved the sub-advisory agreements for the Funds (“New Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between BAIA and each of the following Sub-Advisers:

 

  ź  

Verde Serviços Internacionais S.A. (at November meeting)

  ź  

Sorin Capital Management, LLC (at November meeting)

  ź  

Bayview Asset Management, LLC (at February meeting)

  ź  

Blackstone Senfina Advisors L.L.C. (at March meeting)

At the Board’s November meeting, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, also considered and unanimously approved amended and restated sub-advisory agreements for the Funds (“Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreements,” and together with the New Sub-Advisory Agreements,” the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between BAIA and Cerberus Sub-Advisory I, LLC.

The Independent Trustees were assisted in their review of the Sub-Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel. The Board requested and evaluated all the information it deemed reasonably necessary under the circumstances in connection with the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Board noted that BAIA and the Funds would rely on an exemptive order from the SEC that permitted the Funds to add or replace sub-advisers without a shareholder vote, provided that the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees, approves the new sub-advisers and certain other conditions are met.

Before the meetings, the Board received, among other things, (a) materials prepared by independent legal counsel regarding the relevant factors to consider in evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreements; (b) materials prepared by BAIA relating to each Sub-Adviser, including (1) summary information regarding: the investment thesis; strengths; a comparison to hedge fund strategies; a firm-wide risk evaluation and a strategy risk evaluation; an assessment of relevant valuation, liquidity, trade execution, allocation, and compliance matters; and a summary of the key terms of the relevant Sub-Advisory Agreement; (2) information in greater detail regarding each Sub-Adviser’s investment thesis, investment strategy, investment process, portfolio construction, organizational history and ownership, quantitative analysis, peer group analysis, risk review, and business and financial evaluation; (3) information regarding each Sub-Adviser’s product offerings and personnel, business viability, related entities, product and operational complexity, valuation, internal controls, service providers, and regulatory and compliance infrastructure; (4) a summary of each Sub-Adviser’s compliance program; and (5) information regarding the role of each Sub-Adviser as part of the Funds’ portfolios; and (c) materials prepared by each Sub-Adviser that addressed, among other things: (1) general financial information; (2) services and personnel; (3) portfolio management; (4) costs, fees, other benefits, and profitability; and (5) risk management and regulatory compliance matters.

Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds and Subsidiaries

Supplemental Information (Continued)

March 31, 2015

 

With respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreements for Verde Serviços Internacionais S.A. and Bayview Asset Management, LLC, the Board also received, among other things, (a) information about the restructuring plan and change of control transaction, respectively, applicable to such firms, the resulting entities of which would have the same resources and support as their respective predecessor firms and which would perform the same services for the Funds as their respective predecessor firms and (b) copies of the information reviewed in connection with the approvals of the sub-advisory agreements between BAIA and such predecessor firms.

With respect to the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board received, among other things, information about the changes from the original sub-advisory agreements, as well as copies of the information reviewed in connection with the approvals of that Sub-Adviser’s original sub-advisory agreements.

At the meetings, there was discussion regarding the materials that had been provided to the Board, the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, and other relevant considerations. Additionally, the Board (and separately, the Independent Trustees) conferred with their independent legal counsel to consider the information provided. In evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board took into account the fact that the compensation paid to the Sub-Advisers would be paid by BAIA from the investment management fee it receives from the Funds and would not increase the fees or expenses otherwise incurred by the Funds or their shareholders. In the case of the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board also took into account its recent consideration and approval of the original sub-advisory agreements with Cerberus Sub-Advisory I, LLC, and the fact that the proposed changes to the original sub-advisory agreements were, with the exception of changes in sub-advisory fees, not substantive, and were not expected to result in any change in the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds. Following this discussion, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve each of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements for an initial term of up to two years, and to approve each of the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreements, on the basis of the following considerations, among others:

Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services

The Board discussed and considered with respect to each Sub-Adviser (1) personnel, operations, and financial condition; (2) investment expertise; (3) potential investment return on the assets that potentially would be managed by the Sub-Adviser; (4) where applicable, the Sub-Adviser’s experience and performance in managing hedge funds and the extent to which the Sub-Adviser’s strategy for the Funds would overlap with its hedge fund strategy; and (5) the experience and depth of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team. Where applicable, the Board also considered information about the experience of BAIA’s affiliates in investing in hedge funds managed by the Sub-Adviser. The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the sub-advisory services to be provided by each Sub-Adviser were appropriate and thus supported a decision to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Costs of Services and Profitability

In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of each Sub-Adviser, the Board discussed the following factors: the proposed sub-advisory fee for managing the allocated Fund assets, including any breakpoints, the Sub-Adviser’s resources devoted to the Funds, and (where available) the information provided by each Sub-Adviser regarding the anticipated profitability to the Sub-Adviser from providing sub-advisory services to the Funds. Where applicable, the Board reviewed the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s comparable hedge fund as compared to relevant indices, as well as information about the management fees borne by those funds. The Board noted that the compensation paid to the Sub-Adviser was paid by BAIA, not the Funds, and, accordingly, that the retention of the Sub-Adviser did not increase the fees or expenses otherwise incurred by the Funds’ shareholders. The Board also considered information about the anticipated average sub-advisory

fees that BAIA would pay in light of expected portfolio allocations and the resulting division of fees as between BAIA and the Sub-Advisers. In the case of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Blackstone Senfina Advisors L.L.C., the Board also took into account that the compensation paid to the Sub-Adviser would benefit The Blackstone Group L.P., the indirect parent company of both BAIA and the Sub-Adviser. On the basis of the Board’s review of the fees to be charged by each Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services, the relatively unique and highly specialized nature of the portfolio that the Sub-Adviser would manage, and the estimated costs associated with managing the portfolio, the Board concluded that the level of investment sub-advisory fees was appropriate in light of the services to be provided. It was noted that all of the Sub-Advisory Agreements were the result of arms-length negotiations.

Economies of Scale

The Board discussed various financial and economic considerations relating to the proposed arrangement with each Sub-Adviser, including economies of scale. The Board also noted that certain expenses of the Funds would be subject to an expense cap. The Board noted that it would have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Funds had achieved economies of scale, as well as the appropriateness of sub-advisory fees payable to each Sub-Adviser, with respect to different asset sizes of the portfolio managed by such Sub-Adviser, in the future.

Investment Performance of the Sub-Advisers

Where applicable, the Board considered the investment performance of the Sub-Advisers. Since Sorin Capital Management, LLC and Blackstone Senfina Advisors L.L.C. had not previously sub-advised any of the Funds’ assets, the Trustees were unable to consider the performance of those Sub-Advisers on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees considered the performance of Cerberus Sub-Advisory I, LLC and the predecessor firms for Verde Serviços Internacionais S.A. and Bayview Asset Management, LLC, but noted that, since the Funds are relatively new, it was generally not possible to draw definitive conclusions as to the quality of those Sub-Advisers’ investment programs. The Trustees reviewed historical investment performance generated by each Sub-Adviser for other funds managed by the Sub-Adviser, but noted that the Funds were different in structure from certain of those other funds and, as a result, their investment programs and performance would differ from those of the other funds.

Other Benefits

The Board discussed other potential benefits that each Sub-Adviser might receive from the Funds, including soft dollar arrangements, receipt of brokerage and research services, and the opportunity to offer additional products and services to the Funds’ shareholders. The Board concluded that other benefits derived by each Sub-Adviser from its relationship with BAIA, BAAM, or the Funds, to the extent such benefits were identifiable or determinable, were reasonable and fair, resulted from the provision of appropriate services to the Funds and investors therein, and were consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.

Conclusion

The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the fees payable under each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable with respect to the services that the relevant Sub-Adviser would provide to the Funds and in light of the other factors described above and additional factors that the Board deemed relevant. After review and consideration of certain other terms and conditions of the Sub-Advisory Agreements and, the Board concluded that the terms of each Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and fair and noted that they would have the opportunity to periodically re-examine the terms of

the Sub-Advisory Agreements in the future. The Board based its decision on an evaluation of all these factors as a whole and did not consider any one factor as all-important or controlling. The Board was assisted by the advice of independent counsel in making these determinations.
