Investment Strategy Basics


Fund Overview
Harbor Reserve Fund is a discretionary global investment fund. We develop and execute investment themes based on rigorous fundamental research of regional economies and broad-based economic trends. Our strategy is based on a highly liquid core portfolio which is calibrated to capture key global and regional investment themes.
Investment team executes trading and investing strategies over a broad set of asset classes to include equities, fixed income and interest rate derivatives, currencies, and commodities. We express themes primarily in directional trades, though will we occasionally target relative value opportunities to minimize risk. Our investment horizon is 6-18 months.

Specific nearer-term exposures (6-12 months) are managed via a portfolio overlay which targets specific opportunities in currency, commodities, and interest rate markets.
Fund employs very limited and targeted use of leverage

Sources of Operational Risk How We Reduce Your Operational Risk

We Can Accommodate Managed Accounts

Summary of Investment Strategy


Risk Management
Our approach to risk management is based on whole-firm enterprise risk management which incorporates both market and operational risk management.
Net portfolio risk is hedged using derivatives (options) and stop-loss limits. The Fund combines scenario-based stress testing with value-at-risk approach. Targeted monthly drawdown is 3%. Total portfolio overnight VaR is targeted to 4.5% of AUM. Third party service providers add multiple layers of organizational risk control

Liquidity

Our goal is to maintain a liquid portfolio. International markets are, by definition, large and very liquid securities markets. We expect to be able to reduce our position size in a rapid manner to adjust to changes in our investment thesis or to respond to redemption requests or market conditions.
Focus on highly liquid instruments: futures, options on futures, and ETFs. Goal is to be able to liquidate 80% of portfolio within 2 business days during which markets are open and the remaining 20% within an additional 1-2 business days. Single investment opportunities typically represent no more than 4% of VaR.

Operational Risk Controls

Operational Risk Controls: In recent years, large funds and institutions have repeatedly demonstrated poor operational risk controls. We have procedures to mitigate investor risk:
Administrator: SS&C; Auditor: Asher & Company Monthly Capital and Fund Holdings Report from Administrator Weekly unaudited NAV from the Fund Dual signature requirement: Iron Harbor and SS&C We can accommodate managed accounts

Summary of Investment Strategy

Trend following and high leverage are key to many fund models How we outperform equity and bond markets with lower risk

Major portion of returns dependent on leverage over full investor relationship Notable underperformance at market turning points or range-bound periods Near-guarantee of large drawdown or fund closure at some point in investor relationship High correlation with other funds

Understand the cycle/key issues in regional economies; set beta to calibrate Hedge aggressively based on underpriced risk exposures Seek value in targeting currency exposures Opportunistically trade volatility Aggressively manage portfolio exposure at valuation extremes via options Capture risk-managed tactical alpha when available
