Inflection Strategic Opportunities Fund Posts 18.42% Net Return For 2012, Outperforms Benchmark Indices

December 2012 net return of 1.58% also outperforms

Vancouver, BC – February 11, 2012 – Inflection Management Inc. today announced that the Inflection Strategic Opportunities Fund (“Inflection” or the “Fund”) delivered a net return of 1.58% in December 2012 and 18.42% for 2012, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark indices for both periods.

“December capped a very strong year for our fund,” said Ari Shiff, Founder and Head of Fund Research. “We are pleased to be able to consistently deliver these strong returns with a portfolio of diversified alternative investments, especially at a time when so many investors are finding it challenging to source attractive performance.”

“Our strong performance demonstrates that healthy returns do not require taking outsize risk, but can follow from patiently seeking sources of overlooked value in global opportunities such as securitized credit markets, sovereign debt, and other dislocations caused by political and macroeconomic interference,” added Mr. Shiff. “Our opportunistic strategy allows us to flexibly allocate where the opportunities appear. Our research team works very hard at uncovering hidden gems that investors may read about in the newspaper but would otherwise find difficult to access. We look forward to an exciting 2013.”

The Fund’s most relevant benchmark, the HFN Fund of Funds Multi Strategy Index returned 1.01% for December 2012 and 4.78% for 2012. Another relevant benchmark, the Scotiabank Canadian Hedge Fund Index, lost 0.08% in December 2012 and is down 4.73% for 2012.
