Further detail of monthly performance information and the outlook of BHG can be obtained from BHG's Shareholder Reports, copies of which are to be found on BHG's website: www.bhglobal.com Material Events andTransactions Change in investment policy Prior to 1 September 2014, BHG invested all of its assets (net of short-term working capital) in the ordinary shares of BHGO. Following shareholder approval on 28 August 2014, with effect 1 September 2014, BHG changed its investment policy to invest all of its assets (net of short-term working capital) in BHMS. The investment objective of BHMS is to generate consistent long-term appreciation through active, direct and indirect, leveraged trading and investment on a global basis in multiple investment strategies. BHMS employs an investment process which uses a combination of (a) allocations to investment funds managed or investment managed by Brevan Howard or affiliated entities ("BH"); and (b) targeted and opportunistic allocations directly to the traders of BH investment managers. BHG has also simplified its fee arrangements with its manager, BHCM. Prior to 1 September 2014, BHG paid its manager a 0.5% management fee p.a. and was indirectly subject to the management and performance fees charged to the underlying funds in which BHGO invested. With effect 1 September 2014, BHG pays its manager a 2% management fee p.a. and a 20% performance fee (subject to a high water mark) and bears no additional manager fees at underlying fund level. This means that BHG's manager has assumed the netting risk across BHG's underlying fund investments i.e. investors in BHG only pay fees at one level on the aggregate performance of BHMS and not per individual underlying investment of BHMS. Further details on the changes described above can be found on BHG's website: www.bhglobal.com. Class Closure Following the Euro class closure process, the redemption price per share for the remaining Euro Shares was announced on 22 August 2014. With the announcement of the redemption price, all Euro Shares were redeemed and the proceeds of redemption were paid in the week commenced 1 September 2014. On 22 August 2014, the Company also cancelled all Euro Treasury Shares. Discount Management In the period between 1 July 2014 and 13 November 2014 being the latest practicable date prior to the date of this Interim Management Statement, BHG purchased the following numbers of shares on the market in accordance with its ongoing discount management policy: Share Class Shares purchased on market between 1 July 2014 and 13 November 2014 USD Shares 531,034 GBP Shares 1,011,418 EUR Shares [Nil] Source: Northern Trust In accordance with the terms of BHG's discount management policy, these purchases have only been made on the market at prices below the estimated prevailing NAV per Share in circumstances that have resulted in an increase in the NAV per Share of the remaining Shares and after purchase the purchased Shares have either been held in treasury by BHG or cancelled.
