Prestige Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is offering the Participating Shares, as specified in the Private Placement Memorandum (as defined below). Subscribers should carefully review the current private placement memorandum of the Fund and any appendix thereto for each Class of Participating Shares as supplied by the Manager (together, the “Private Placement Memorandum”) and the most recent annual report and audited accounts (where applicable), before subscribing for Participating Shares.

Investment in the Fund is intended for investors that are not U.S. Persons (as defined in the Private Placement Memorandum)

Capitalised terms used herein without definition have the same meanings given to them in the Private Placement Memorandum.

Subscription Procedure:

(a)

In order to subscribe for Participating Shares, each subscriber should:

(i)

complete and sign the attached Subscription Agreement. If the subscribers are joint subscribers, each subscriber should sign the Subscription Agreement;

(ii)

complete and sign the appropriate IRS Form(s) in accordance with the instructions accompanying the applicable Form. Please refer to ANNEX A;

(iii)

complete and sign the appropriate FATCA self certification in a form as provided by the Manager;

The completed forms and the verification documents in ANNEX B should then be returned to Equinoxe Alternative Investment Services (Bermuda) Limited (the “Administrator”) at the address set out in section 4 below.

(b)

During the Initial Offer Period, applicants should send completed Subscription Agreements, together with any supporting documents, to the Administrator prior to 5.00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on the Business Day which is ten (10) Business Days before the last Business Day of the Initial Offer Period. Subscription Agreements may be sent by facsimile transmission to the facsimile number stated below or by email to the email address stated below, provided that the original Subscription Agreement is forwarded to the Administrator forthwith. None of the Directors, the Fund or the Administrator accept any responsibility for any loss arising from the non-receipt or illegibility of any Subscription Agreement sent by facsimile or email, or for any loss caused by or as a result of any action taken in connection with facsimile or email instructions believed in good faith to have originated from properly authorised persons. Unless otherwise directed by the Directors, once a completed Subscription Agreement has been received by the Administrator it is irrevocable. Subscription Agreements received late or late cleared funds may be held over until the first Subscription Day and Participating Shares, if issued, will then be issued at the Subscription Price applicable on that first Subscription Day, although the Administrator may, under direction from the Investment Advisor, allow late cleared funds.

(c)

After the close of the Initial Offer Period, new applicants for Participating Shares and Shareholders wishing to apply for additional Participating Shares must send their completed Subscription Agreements, together with any supporting documents to the Administrator prior to 5.00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on the Business Day which is ten (10) Business Days before the applicable Subscription Day. Subscription Agreements may be sent by facsimile transmission to the facsimile number stated below and by email to the email address stated below, provided that the original Subscription Agreement is forwarded to the Administrator forthwith. None of the Directors, the Fund or the Administrator accept any responsibility for any loss arising from the non-receipt or illegibility of any Subscription Agreement sent by facsimile or email, or for any loss caused by or as a result of any action taken in connection with facsimile or email instructions believed in good faith to have originated from properly authorised persons. Unless otherwise directed by the Directors, once a completed Subscription Agreement has been received by the Administrator it is irrevocable. Subscription Agreements received late or late cleared funds may be held over until the next Subscription Day and Participating Shares, if issued will then be issued at the Subscription Price applicable on that day, although the Administrator may, under direction from the Directors, allow subscriptions on less than ten Business Days’ notice or late cleared funds.

(d)

The Directors may waive the requirements specified above, either generally or in any particular case. Unless the Directors determine otherwise, if the completed Subscription Agreement and subscription monies in cleared funds are not received by the applicable time referred to above, the application will be held over to the Subscription Day following receipt of the outstanding documentation and/or subscription monies, as the case may be. Participating Shares will then be issued at the relevant Subscription Price on that Subscription Day.

(e)

The Fund may reject any application in whole or in part and without giving any reason for doing so. If an application is rejected, the subscription monies paid, or the balance thereof in the case of a partial rejection, will be returned (without interest) as soon as practicable to the account from which the subscription monies were originally remitted. Any costs incurred in returning the subscription monies will be borne by the subscriber.

(f)

The Fund is not responsible for the transmission of Subscription Agreements to the Administrator. All subscriptions are subject to acceptance by the Fund. Unless otherwise directed by the Directors, Subscription Agreements are irrevocable.

(g)

The Participating Shares are subject to the Subscription Fee. The Subscription Fee of each Class of Participating Shares is as specified in the relevant Appendix to the Private Placement Memorandum and will be charged as set out in the relevant Appendix of the Private Placement Memorandum. The Subscription Fee is paid to the Fund for the account of the Manager. Where a Subscription Fee is payable prior to the payment of the subscription monies, in accordance with the relevant Appendix, if timely payment is not made, a subscription may lapse and be cancelled. In such circumstances, the Fund has the right to bring an action against the defaulting subscriber to obtain compensation for any loss directly or indirectly resulting from the failure by the subscriber to make good settlement by the settlement date. The Subscription Fee received by the Fund will not be refunded to the subscriber and the Manager will have the right to retain the Subscription Fee and to dispose or use it at its own will.

(h)

Participating Shares will be issued in registered form. Certificates will generally not be issued nor will any other documentation be issued, other than confirmation notices. Unless the Fund directs otherwise, contract notes will include an investor identification number and details of the Participating Shares that have been allotted. Contract notes will be sent to investors only after approval of their Subscription Agreement and the issuance of Participating Shares. Fractions of Participating Shares purchased will be issued to three decimal places.

Payment Procedure:

(a)

Full payment for Participating Shares subscribed for during the Initial Offer Period is due in cash (or by transfer of assets, if applicable) by 5.00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on a day not less than five (5) Business Day of such Initial Offer Period.

Redemptions

Subject to any applicable restrictions as set out under “Redemption and Transfer” and “Net Asset Value – Suspensions” in the Private Placement Memorandum and the relevant Appendix for the particular Class, Participating Shares may be redeemed at the option of the Shareholder on any Redemption Day using the prescribed form as the Directors may determine from time to time. A Shareholder wishing to redeem its Participating Shares must send a completed Redemption Notice to the Administrator at the address specified in the Redemption Notice. The completed Redemption Notice must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on a Business Day falling before the commencement of the relevant Redemption Period. Unless the Directors agree otherwise, any Redemption Notice received after this time will be held over and dealt with on the next relevant Redemption Day.

Redemption Notices may be submitted to the Administrator by fax to the facsimile number stated above or by email to the email address stated above provided that, (i) the original signed redemption request is received by the Administrator prior to the Redemption Day; and (ii) the Shareholder receives written confirmation from the Administrator that the faxed or emailed redemption request has been received. The Administrator will confirm in writing within five Business Days of receipt all faxed or emailed redemption requests which are received in good order or will liaise with the investor and/or the Manager to obtain any outstanding documents as required by the Administrator. Investors failing to receive such written confirmation from the Administrator within five Business Days should contact the Administrator to obtain the same. Failure to obtain such written confirmation will render faxed or emailed instructions void. Once a Redemption Notice has been received by the Administrator it may not be revoked by the Shareholder unless redemptions have been suspended in the circumstances set out under the heading “Net Asset Value - Suspensions” in the Private Placement Memorandum or the Directors otherwise agree.

If a Redemption Notice is received which would, if satisfied, result in the Shareholder retaining less than the Minimum Holding, the Directors may treat such Redemption Notice as a request for a partial redemption only up to the Minimum Holding or may redeem the Shareholder’s entire holding of Participating Shares. A request for a redemption of Participating Shares with an aggregate Net Asset Value of less than US$100,000 (or such lesser amount as the Directors may determine, either generally or in any particular case) will be refused and all redemptions must be integral multiples of US$10,000. Participating Shares of the relevant Class will be redeemed on a “first issued, first redeemed” basis.

The failure of any Shareholder to provide certain anti-money laundering information requested by the Fund, the Manager, the Investment Advisor or the Administrator may, unless the Fund or the Administrator agree otherwise, prevent or delay the payment of redemption proceeds. Each Shareholder acknowledges that the Administrator, the Fund, the Manager and the Investment Advisor shall be held harmless against any loss arising as a result of a failure to process such Shareholder’s request to redeem if such information as requested by the Fund, the Manager, the Investment Advisor or the Administrator have not been provided on a timely basis

None of the Fund, the Directors, the Manager, the Investment Advisor, nor the Administrator accept any responsibility for any loss arising from the non-receipt or illegibility of any Redemption Notice sent by facsimile or email, or for any loss caused by or as a result of any action taken in connection with facsimile or email instructions believed in good faith to have originated from properly authorised persons. Where a redemption request is sent by facsimile transmission or by email, the Fund will not release the redemption proceeds to the redeeming Shareholders until such time as both the original redemption request and the Subscription Agreement are received by the Administrator.

While the Directors intend to remit redemption proceeds in accordance with the provisions of the Private Placement Memorandum, the Directors may in their absolute discretion suspend or defer or delay payment of redemptions in certain circumstances as described in the section headed “Net Asset Value - Suspensions” in the Private Placement Memorandum, where necessary to comply with applicable law or regulation. These circumstances may include where receipt of the proceeds of realising investments is delayed or where one or more Underlying Funds is subject to Liquidity Constraints or where the realisation of investments held by the Fund in order to pay redemption proceeds is not considered by the Directors to be reasonably practicable or where doing so might seriously prejudice the non-redeeming Shareholders of the Fund (for instance because the price for such early realisation is reasonably believed to be materially less than that which would be received if the relevant asset or other investment or interest in an asset or other investment were held until an anticipated realisation event).

In addition to the extent that the Fund is subject to redemption restrictions on its investments in the Underlying Funds, the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, impose redemption restrictions on Shareholders of the Fund.

Any such restriction will be proportional to the scale of redemption restriction imposed upon the Fund and will be made with the best interests of all Shareholders in the Fund in mind. Amongst the considerations which the Directors will take into account is whether liquidation of the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds could:

(i)

adversely affect the Net Asset Value of the Fund;

(ii)

adversely affect the Fund’s allocation of the Underlying Funds assets, and

(iii)

increase the illiquidity of the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds.

In addition, and without prejudice to the foregoing general right to defer redemptions, if Redemption Notices are received in respect of any Redemption Day which, if satisfied in full, would result in redemptions in excess of the Redemption Gate, the Directors may limit redemptions to the Redemption Gate. Any such limitation will be applied on a pro rata basis amongst all Shareholders seeking to redeem Participating Shares on the relevant Redemption Day. Redemption Notices which are not satisfied in full will be carried forward to the next Redemption Day and will have priority over Redemption Notices received in respect of such Redemption Day. Participating Shares will be redeemed at the Redemption Price prevailing on the Redemption Day on which they are redeemed.

The Directors currently do not expect to exercise their power to defer redemptions unless necessary to comply with applicable law or regulation or if they consider that Shareholders would otherwise be materially prejudiced.

Transfers

Participating Shares may not be transferred without the prior written consent of the Directors, which consent may be withheld by the Directors in their absolute discretion. The Directors may withhold their consent without giving any reason for doing so. Consent will not be given if, as a consequence of such transfer, the Participating Shares retained by the transferor or registered in the name of the transferee would be less than the Minimum Holding. The transferor will be required to complete and lodge with the Administrator an instrument of transfer, which shall be in such form as the Directors may from time to time approve, and the transferee will be required to complete and lodge a Subscription Agreement with the Administrator before the transfer takes effect, which will contain various representations and warranties.

Prospective transferees of Participating Shares will be asked to provide satisfactory evidence of identity and source of funds within such reasonable time as the Fund, the Administrator or the Manager may determine in compliance with applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations.

The transfer will take effect upon the registration of the transferee in the register of Shareholders maintained by the Administrator.

The transferor and transferee will be responsible for paying any taxes, duties, imposts or levies payable on, or in consequence of, a transfer of Participating Shares.

(t)

In accordance with the preceding paragraph, the subscriber hereby consents to the transmission by the Fund, the Manager, the Administrator and/or the Investment Advisor including any delegates thereof of personal data provided by the subscriber to countries which may not have data protection legislation in place which is equivalent to or serve the same purposes as that of the jurisdiction where the Fund, the Manager, the Administrator and/or the Investment Advisor are established, provided that such transmission is reasonably required in order to perform their respective functions.

(aa)

The subscriber has consulted its own professional advisers, including its own lawyers, accountants and investment advisers as the subscriber deems necessary, with respect to the suitability of this investment. In particular, but without limitation, the subscriber is relying solely upon the advice of its personal tax adviser with respect to the tax aspects of an investment in Participating Shares.

Anti-Money Laundering Declarations

(a)

The subscriber acknowledges that, in order to comply with measures aimed at the prevention of money laundering and terrorism, the Fund, the Administrator and/or any of their delegates or agents, may require verification of the identity of the subscriber and the source of the subscriber’s subscription monies before this subscription can be processed.

The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and its delegates and agents against any loss incurred by them due to such information and documentation as has been requested not being provided by the subscriber.

(b)

The Fund and the Administrator each reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. The Fund and the Administrator also each reserve the right to request such identification evidence in respect of a transferee of Participating Shares. In the event of delay or failure by the subscriber or transferee to produce any information required for verification purposes, the Fund or the Administrator may refuse to accept the subscription or (as the case may be) to register the relevant transfer and (in the case of a subscription for Participating Shares) any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which the monies were originally debited at the expense of the subscriber.

(c)

The subscriber warrants and covenants that the Participating Shares are to be purchased with funds that are from legitimate sources in connection with its regular business activities and which do not constitute the proceeds of criminal conduct within the meaning given in the Proceeds of Crime Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands. The subscriber acknowledges and understands that (a) under the Proceeds of Crime Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands, if a person who is a resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects that a payment to the Fund (by way of subscription or otherwise) represents proceeds of criminal conduct, that person must report his knowledge or suspicion to the reporting authority, and (b) such report shall not be treated as a breach of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by law or otherwise.

(d)

The subscriber understands and agrees that the Fund prohibits the investment of funds by any persons or entities that are acting, directly or indirectly, (i) in contravention of any applicable laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering regulations or conventions, (ii) on behalf of terrorists or terrorist organisations, including those persons or entities that are included on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or on any lists or resolutions issued by the United Nations (whether through the Security Council or otherwise) pursuant to which dealings with persons specified therein are prohibited, restricted or discouraged, as such lists may be amended from time to time; (iii) for a senior political figure, any member of a senior political figure’s immediate family or any close associate of a senior political figure, unless the Fund, after being specifically notified by the subscriber in writing that the subscriber is such a person, conducts further due diligence, and determines that such investment shall be permitted, or (iv) as trustee, agent, representative or nominee for a foreign shell bank (such persons or entities in (i) - (iv) are collectively referred to as “Prohibited Persons”).

(e)

The subscriber warrants and covenants that: (i) the subscriber is not, nor is any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the subscriber, a Prohibited Person, and (ii) to the extent the subscriber has any beneficial owners, (a) the subscriber has carried out thorough due diligence to establish the identities of such beneficial owners, (b) based on such due diligence, the subscriber reasonably believes that no such beneficial owners are Prohibited Persons, (c) the subscriber holds the evidence of such identities and status and will maintain all such evidence in accordance with applicable law and regulation, and (d) the subscriber will make available such information and any additional information that the Fund may reasonably require upon request in order to comply with applicable law and regulation.

(f)

Where this subscription is made as trustee, custodian, nominee or otherwise on behalf of another person or persons, the subscriber warrants that it has carried out reasonable verification checks on and obtained sufficient evidence as to the identity of such person or persons on whose behalf the subscriber shall be holding the Participating Shares so as to satisfy the subscriber of the provenance and legitimacy of the source of funds used to subscribe for the Participating Shares and has otherwise complied with the laws and regulations relating to anti-money laundering procedures that are applicable in the jurisdiction where such Participating Shares are offered or distributed and the subscriber acknowledges that in applying to be registered owner of the Participating Shares on such person’s or persons’ behalf the subscriber is confirming that it is satisfied as to the identity of the underlying beneficial holder(s) and the provenance and legitimacy of the funds being used to subscribe for the Participating Shares.

(g)

If any of the foregoing representations, warranties or covenants in paragraphs (c) to (f) above cease to be true or if the Fund no longer reasonably believes that it has satisfactory evidence as to their truth, notwithstanding any other agreement to the contrary, the Fund may be obligated to take certain actions relating to the subscriber’s holding of Participating Shares, including (but not limited to) freezing the subscriber’s investment, either by prohibiting additional investments, declining or suspending any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets constituting the investment in accordance with applicable regulations, or the subscriber’s investment may immediately be redeemed by the Fund, and the Fund may also be required to report such action and to disclose the subscriber’s identity to OFAC or other authorities. In the event that the Fund is required to take any of the foregoing actions, the subscriber understands and agrees that the subscriber shall have no claim against the Fund, the Directors, the Manager, the Investment Advisor or the Administrator or their respective affiliates, directors, members, partners, shareholders, officers, employees and agents for any form of damages as a result of any such actions.

(h)

The subscriber understands and agrees that any redemption proceeds paid to the subscriber will be paid to the same account from which the subscriber’s investment in the Fund was originally remitted, unless the Fund or the Administrator agrees otherwise, in which case the Fund or the Administrator shall have the right to demand such information as regards the identity of the alternative beneficiary and its connection with the subscriber as may be required under applicable anti-money laundering rules and regulations prior to so agreeing.

(i)

The Fund and the Administrator also each reserve the right to refuse to make any redemption payment to a Shareholder if any of the Directors or the Administrator suspects or is advised that the payment of any redemption moneys to such Shareholder might result in a breach or violation of any applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Fund, the Directors or the Administrator with any such laws or regulations in any relevant jurisdiction.
