Section 2.9.1

Aggregate Exposure to Borrowing, Short Selling and Specified Derivatives

(1) An alternative mutual fund or non-redeemable investment fund’s aggregate exposure to cash borrowing, short selling and specified derivatives transactions must not exceed 300% of the fund’s net asset value.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), an alternative mutual fund or non-redeemable investment fund’s aggregate exposure is the sum of the following:

(a) the aggregate value of the alternative mutual fund’s or non-redeemable investment fund’s outstanding indebtedness under any borrowing agreements to which subsection 2.6(2) applies;

(b) the aggregate market value of all securities sold short by the alternative mutual fund or non-redeemable investment fund as permitted by section 2.6.1;

(c) the aggregate notional amount of the alternative mutual fund’s or non-redeemable investment fund’s specified derivatives positions, minus the aggregate notional amount of the specified derivative positions that are hedging transactions.

(3) For the purposes of this section, the alternative mutual fund or non-redeemable investment fund must include in its calculation its proportionate share of the assets of any underlying investment fund for which a similar calculation is required.

(4) An alternative mutual fund or non-redeemable investment fund must determine its aggregate exposure in accordance with subsection (2) as of the close of business of each day on which it calculates a net asset value.

(5) If the alternative mutual fund’s or non-redeemable investment fund’s aggregate exposure as determined in accordance with subsection (2) exceeds 300% of its net asset value, the alternative mutual fund or non-redeemable investment fund must, as quickly as is commercially reasonable, take all necessary steps to reduce the aggregate exposure to 300% of its net asset value or less.
