IV.
Advisory Business
Ameliora Wealth Management Ltd., a Swiss corporation based in Zurich, Switzerland, provides
investment advisory services to clients with connections to the United States of America (“USA”).
Ameliora was formed in 2012. Ameliora’s shareholders are Piper Establishment and GN Group
Holding Anstalt. Ameliora has a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States, Ameliora Wealth
Management USA LLC (“Ameliora US”). All three of these companies are Related Persons.
Ameliora provides investment management and advisory services primarily for individuals and
institutional clients. The services provided include the provision of discretionary portfolio
management and non-discretionary advice concerning investment of assets consistent with the
circumstances, preferences and objectives of each client. Investment management and advisory
services are provided based on the individual needs and investment objectives of each client as
communicated to Ameliora. Specifically, the structure for each client’s investment portfolio is
created by taking into account certain considerations such as expected returns, risk tolerance and
future liquidity requirements.
Ameliora offers investment management and advisory services on the following types of securities
and transactions: exchange-listed securities, securities traded over-the-counter, foreign issuers,
corporate debt securities (and other commercial paper), certificates of deposit, investment company
securities such as mutual funds, exchange traded funds, private investment funds, foreign exchange
transactions and options.
Ameliora does not issue periodic publications, nor does it prepare for distribution special reports or
analysis relating to securities. Ameliora does not issue charts, graphs, formulas or other devices for
use by clients in evaluating individual securities, and does not give advice to clients on any matters
not involving securities other than on an incidental basis.
Discretionary Asset Management Services
Under a discretionary management mandate, Ameliora has the authority to supervise and select
investments of and for each client’s account in line with the investment profile agreed with the client
and without prior consultation with the client. Ameliora determines which securities are bought and
sold for the account and the total amount of the purchases and sales. Individual clients can impose
conditions on Ameliora’s authority, such as restricting or prohibiting transactions in certain types of
securities. Ameliora sends orders for securities transactions to the trading desk of the custodian or
to the broker or dealer designated by the custodian bank. Ameliora does not select the broker or
dealer for executing securities transactions and does not negotiate the commission rates paid to
execute transactions.
Non-Discretionary (i.e., Advisory) Asset Management Services
Under a non-discretionary management mandate, Ameliora gives
investment advice and
recommendations to a client, and the client subsequently makes all investment decisions about the
Ameliora Wealth Management Ltd.
Dianastrasse 9 | 8002 Zurich | Switzerland
Page 4 of 36
Version 26 – 04.08.2025
investments held in the account. The client may effect its own transactions or seek the involvement
of Ameliora in placing an order for the transaction.
Ameliora has USD 877’729’020 under management as of December 31, 2024. Approximately 62.6%
of the assets under management are managed on a discretionary basis, the rest are advisory and
cash only mandates.
V.
Fees and Compensation
Ameliora charges investment advisory fees for its services consisting of a percentage of the market
value of assets under management. In some cases, the fees charged by Ameliora are higher than the
fees charged by other investment advisors offering similar investment management services. The
fixed asset management fee for discretionary management, which is the default compensation
scheme, is deducted quarterly under the client’s authority from the client’s custodian account.
The fee schedule below for discretionary asset management shows the applicable fee for each
bracket of assets under management along with the applicable cost based on the amount of assets.
Fees are quoted in percentage per annum and assets under management in USD, minimum
investment USD 1,000,000.00
1.25% up to and including 5,000,000.00
0.80% from 20,000,001.00 to 50,000,000.00
1.00% from 5,000,001.00 to 10,000,000.00
0.75% over 50,000,001.00
0.90% from 10,000,001.00 to 20,000,000.00
Minimum Fee 10,000.00

Page 5 of 36
Version 26 – 04.08.2025
The same fee schedule applies to accounts advised on a non-discretionary basis. Ameliora reserves
the right to waive, discount and/or negotiate fees at its discretion.
Ameliora only charges its own fees described above and in Item VI. These do not include custodian
fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, or any other fee imposed by the custodian
bank or the broker, such as stamp duties, local taxes or other fees charged by third-party entities or
regulatory authorities. The custodian fees include, among other fees, the bank’s mark-up on any
foreign currencies exchanged in the account and on any exchange of physical gold. Ameliora believes
these fees to be reasonable when compared to the local market. Ameliora does not charge its
investment advisory fee in advance of performing its services.
Valuations and Fee Calculations
Ameliora relies on the custodian banks, selected by its clients, to value the assets in the respective
client accounts, and to compute its investment advisory fees based on these valuations. On a
quarterly basis, Ameliora performs checks to confirm that the valuations used by the custodian are
correct. After the end of each quarter Ameliora arranges, under the client’s authority, with the
custodian for the direct payment of its fee from the respective client accounts.
The client’s statement from the custodian bank will show all amounts debited to the account,
including the amount of any advisory fee paid to Ameliora. The investment performance expressed
in percentage points by the custodian will therefore be slightly higher than the actual performance
after taking into account the cost for advisory services.
Ameliora is exclusively compensated by the fee paid by the client and does not receive undisclosed
remuneration from third parties in relation to its investment advisory services.

VI.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Ameliora manages accounts for some clients using an Index Option Strategy where the clients pay a
performance-based fee. Except for the Index Option Strategy, clients are charged the fee according
to the fee schedule disclosed above. Receiving performance-based fees creates an incentive for
Ameliora to recommend or exercise discretion to act on an investment that carries a higher degree
of risk to the client and, in turn, generates a higher fee. Ameliora could favor these clients over others
and perform cherry-picking. To address this conflict of interest, Ameliora only recommends or
exercises discretion over securities that comply with the client’s needs, investment objectives and
risk tolerance, and adheres to strict best execution procedures. As the basis for this strategy is
different from the others and clients with different investment strategies are treated separately,
Ameliora does not have an incentive to favor accounts for which it receives a performance-based
fee. Ameliora will conduct a quarterly portfolio review to confirm that no favoritism or harm has
occurred.
VII.
Types of Clients
Ameliora specializes in customized asset management services to U.S. and non-U.S. clients which are
high net worth individuals, individuals (other than high net worth), institutions, corporations,
foundations and trusts, estates and other legal entities who are “accredited investors” as defined in
Rule 506 of Regulation D.
Ameliora requests that its clients have a minimum of USD $1,000,000 of assets under management
with Ameliora. On an exceptional basis, Ameliora accepts accounts below the minimum
requirements, or retains accounts that have dropped below this minimum requirement due to
changes in asset prices. Accounts that have family, corporate or other relationships are aggregated
for purposes of the minimum account requirement.

VIII. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Ameliora’s active investment strategy seeks to generate sustainable long-term investment results
through a combined focus on capital appreciation and capital preservation. In its efforts to minimize
risk, Ameliora actively seeks to maintain a sufficient level of asset diversification and degree of capital
exposure.
Ameliora’s investment management process is based on analysis of conditions and factors such as
global economic cycles, geo-political developments, business trends, market conditions, and
securities valuations. Using a top-down analytical approach, Ameliora constructs and optimizes asset
allocations with a focus on diversification across asset classes, regions, sectors, and instruments. A
further bottom-up analysis is conducted to identify and analyze eligible securities under
consideration for investment.
Ameliora utilizes its own proprietary information and research methodology in conjunction with
external and third-party research and analytical tools. Ameliora’s investment strategy is continually
reviewed and asset allocations are monitored on a regular basis to ensure alignment with investment
goals and risk management.
In making the decision as to which securities are to be purchased or sold and the amounts thereof,
Ameliora is guided by the general guidelines set up at the inception of the adviser client relationship
in cooperation with the client and a periodic review of the asset allocation. These general guidelines
cover such matters as the relative proportion of debt and equity securities to be held in the portfolio,
the degree of risk that the client wishes to assume, and the types and amounts of securities to be
held in the portfolio.
Ameliora’s authority is further limited when clients impose specific instructions, such as restricting
or prohibiting transactions in certain securities. Ameliora manages numerous accounts with similar
or identical investment objectives and manages accounts with different objectives that sometimes
trade in the same securities. Despite such similarities, portfolio decisions relating to client
investments and the performance resulting from such decisions differ from client to client. Ameliora
will not necessarily purchase or sell the same securities at the same time or in the same
proportionate amounts for all eligible clients, particularly if different clients have selected different
investment profiles, have materially different amounts of capital under management with Ameliora
or different amounts of investable cash available.
In certain instances, such as purchases of less liquid publicly traded securities or oversubscribed
public offerings, it is not possible or feasible to allocate a transaction pro rata to all eligible clients,
especially if clients have materially different sized portfolios. Therefore, not all clients will necessarily
participate in the same investment opportunities or participate on the same basis.

Investment Strategies
Clients choose from a range of different investment strategies according to their individual
investment goals in consultation with their Investment Advisor based on a client’s risk profile (which
includes information on the client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance). These include:
➢ Global Multi-Asset Class strategies consisting, among others, of Capital Preservation,
Moderate, Balanced, and Dynamic profiles, or
➢ Equity strategies, consisting, among others, of European Focused, European Small- and Mid-
Cap Focused, European Dividend Focused, and USA Focused profiles, or
➢ The Index Option strategy which consisting of a Growth Focused profile.
The various strategies offer varying risk levels from lower risk (e.g. cash and fixed income securities)
to higher risk (e.g. small cap equities), for example:
➢ Fixed income strategies include, but are not limited to 70-100% mostly medium-term to
longer-term, investment grade fixed income investments.
➢ Capital preservation strategies include, but are not limited to, 50-100% mostly shorter
maturity, high quality fixed income investments;
➢ Moderate strategies include, but are not limited to, 30-75% fixed income securities, 10-40%
equities and 0-15% alternative investments including precious metals;
➢ Balanced strategies include, but are not limited to, 30-75% fixed income securities, 35-65%
equities and 0-15% alternative investments including precious metals;
➢ Dynamic strategies include, but are not limited to, 60-100% equities, 0-25% fixed income
instruments, and 0-25% alternative investments including precious metals;
➢ Equity strategies include, but are not limited to equities and equity like securities (75-100%).
➢ The level of risk for such strategies ranges from lower risk, where the share of the portfolio
invested in equities is lower than the fixed income share, to higher risk, where the
concentration of equities is higher than for fixed income; and
➢ Higher-risk strategies include, but are not limited to, 100% equities global, alternative
investments, precious metals or low-quality fixed income instruments. This higher-risk
category includes all equity strategies as outlined above.
➢ The multi-asset-class strategies strategically include a portion of alternative investments
and/or precious metals to seek diversification of financial instruments and markets (including
Emerging Markets). Those allocation as well as allocations to fixed income or cash securities
can be held directly or indirectly through funds, including exchanged traded funds (ETFs).
➢ The Index Option strategy seeks to generate positive cash flows while targeting average
market risk by (short) selling index put options to collect respective premiums. The
investment strategy allocates its risk budget based on internal assessments of available
opportunities to index put options of broad market. The strategy is intended for growth-
oriented investors.
Ameliora will rely on the client’s representations in making corresponding representations regarding
Ameliora Wealth Management Ltd.
Dianastrasse 9 | 8002 Zurich | Switzerland
Page 9 of 36
Version 26 – 04.08.2025
the investment restrictions on behalf of a client account in connection with certain derivative, private
fund or other similar investments with qualification restrictions without the duty or obligation to
validate the information provided by the client. Clients shall notify Ameliora promptly in writing if
the client’s representations become inaccurate.
Material Investment Risks
Clients should be aware that investing in securities involves a risk of loss. Among other risks,
investments will be subject to market risk, liquidity risk, credit and counterparty risk, interest rate
risk, event risk due to unfavorable political and economic developments and events adversely
affecting a specific company or particular industry, and risks involving movements in the currency
and commodity markets. There may be additional risks that Ameliora does not currently foresee or
consider material. Clients should be prepared to bear the risk of losing their investment. Past
performance should not be taken as an indication or guarantee of future results. In certain cases,
Ameliora acquires derivatives within the context of its discretionary asset management mandate. In
addition to the risks that apply to all investments in securities, investing and engaging in derivative
instruments and transactions involves different types of risk and possibly greater levels of risk. These
risks include, but are not limited to the following:
➢ Leverage. A derivative instrument or transaction may have the effect of disproportionately
increasing an account’s exposure to the market for the securities or other assets underlying
the derivative position and the sensitivity of an account’s portfolio to changes in market
prices for those assets. Leverage will tend to magnify both the positive impact of successful
investment decisions and the negative impact of unsuccessful investment decisions by
Ameliora on an account’s performance.
➢ Counterparty Credit Risk. An account’s ability to profit from a derivative contract depends on
the ability and willingness of the other party to the contract (“Counterparty”) to perform its
obligations under the contract. Although exchange-traded futures and options contracts are
generally backed by a guarantee from a clearing corporation, an account could lose the
benefit of a contract in the unlikely event that the clearing corporation becomes insolvent.
The counterparty’s obligations under a forward contract, over-the-counter option, swap or
other over-the-counter derivative contract are not so guaranteed. If the counterparty to an
over-the-counter contract fails to perform its obligations, an account may lose the benefit of
the contract and may have difficulty reclaiming any collateral that an account may have
deposited with the counterparty.
➢
➢ Lack of Correlation. The market value of a derivative position may correlate imperfectly with
the market price of the asset underlying the derivative position. To the extent that a
derivative position is being used to hedge against changes in the value of assets in an account,
a lack of price correlation between the derivative position and the hedged asset may result
in an incomplete hedge.
Illiquidity. Over-the-counter derivative contracts are usually subject to restrictions on
Ameliora Wealth Management Ltd.
Dianastrasse 9 | 8002 Zurich | Switzerland
Page 10 of 36
Version 26 – 04.08.2025
transfer, and there is generally no liquid market for these contracts. Although it is often
possible to negotiate the termination of an over-the-counter contract or enter into an
offsetting contract, the counterparty may be unable or unwilling to terminate a contract with
an account, especially during times of market instability or disruption. The markets for many
exchange traded futures, options and other instruments are quite liquid during normal
market conditions, but this liquidity may disappear during times of market instability or
disruption.
➢ Less Accurate Valuation. The absence of a liquid market for over-the-counter derivatives
increases the likelihood of the client’s custodian bank not being able to correctly value these
interests.
IX.
Disciplinary Information
Ameliora and its directors, officers and employees have not been involved in any legal or disciplinary
events that would be material to a client’s evaluation of it or its personnel.

Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Ameliora and its management or personnel are neither registered nor have an application pending
to register as a broker-dealer, registered representatives of a broker-dealer, futures commission
merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor or an associated persons of one of
the foregoing entities.
Ameliora is a member of the Swiss Association of Asset Managers (SAAM).
Ameliora is registered as investment adviser with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority
FINMA and is supervised by supervisory organization AOOS Schweizerische Aktiengesellschaft für
Aufsicht, www.aoos.ch, which is officially recognized by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory
Authority (FINMA).
In compliance with the new statutory provisions of the Swiss Financial Services Act, Ameliora has
joined an ombudsman scheme. In the event of a disagreement you have the option of initiating
mediation proceedings with the ombudsman by contacting: OFS Ombud Finance Switzerland Rue du
Conseil Général 10 1205 Geneva Switzerland
Phone: +41 22 808 04 51 https://ombudfinance.ch
Ameliora is owned by GN Group Holding Anstalt, a holding company, and Piper Establishment, a
holding company, which could influence certain decisions. There is one representative of Piper
Establishment acting as Board member in Ameliora’s Board of Directors. This is a conflict of interest,
and to address this, none of the Board of Directors members are members of committees or
participate in meetings where investment decisions are made. Ameliora only recommends or
exercises discretion over securities that comply with which are in line with the client’s needs,
investment objectives, and risk tolerance, and adheres to strict best execution procedures.
All of Ameliora’s Board of Directors members maintain mandates at other companies than Ameliora.
This external involvement creates a conflict of interest, as these individuals may prioritize the
interests of the other companies they serve over the interests of Ameliora or its clients. None of the
Board of Directors members are members of committees or participate in meetings where
investment decisions are made. Ameliora only recommends or exercises discretion over securities
that comply with the client’s needs, investment objectives and risk tolerance, and adheres to strict
best execution procedures.
Urs Leder is a part-time employee (50%) of Wealth Management Zurich AG (“WMZ”). WMZ is a Swiss
registered asset manager of collective investment schemes. WMZ has clients, client strategies and
investments that differ from Ameliora. To address this conflict of interest, Urs Leder, when with
WMZ, works from a location different from Ameliora’s and cannot use Ameliora’s Confidential Client
Information. Ameliora requires him to certify quarterly that he has complied with our Code of Ethics.

Version 26 – 04.08.2025
Outsourcing
Ameliora engages third-party service providers to support various operational tasks, such as
compliance and IT services. These engagements present conflicts of interest, as providers could
prioritize their financial goals, including cost-saving measures, over addressing critical risks to
Ameliora or its clients. They involve divided, conflicting duties of loyalty. They also present issues in
Ameliora being able to exercise oversight over each such service provider. To mitigate these
concerns, Ameliora conducts due diligence and annual reviews of each firm. Other controls involve
ensuring that Ameliora’s confidential client information (defined in its Code of Ethics) is protected
and cannot be misused. Ameliora’s processes include regular evaluations, contractual safeguards and
continuous performance monitoring to identify and address risks, such as negligent infrastructure or
substandard service.
Ameliora has outsourced its Compliance function to SwissComply for Swiss regulation purposes and
to PQ Solutions LLC for SEC purposes. Gabriel Larumbe from PQ Solutions has also taken on the role
as Chief Compliance Officer.. As Compliance personnel are employed by SwissComply or PQ
Solutions, their primary loyalty lies with their employer rather than Ameliora. This arrangement
creates a conflict of interest that affects the prioritization of the client’s best interests. To address
this conflict of interest, Ameliora has appointed an employee as Compliance Officer who performs
oversight and monitoring activities over both firms and will act in place of them when and as
necessary.
XI.
Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
Ameliora has adopted a Code of Ethics (“Code”) and policies and procedures governing personal
securities transactions by Ameliora and its personnel (“Access Persons”). The Code also provides
guidance and instruction to Ameliora and its personnel, “Supervised Persons” (including Access
Persons), on their ethical obligations in fulfilling its duties of loyalty, fairness and good faith. The
overriding principle of Ameliora’s Code is that Ameliora owes a fiduciary duty to clients. Employees
of Ameliora are responsible for conducting personal trading activities in a manner that does not
misuse confidential client information, interfere with a client’s portfolio transactions or take
improper advantage of a relationship with any client.
The Code contains provisions designed to: (i) prevent, among other things, improper trading by
Ameliora’s employees; (ii) identify and address conflicts of interest; and (iii) provide a means to
resolve conflicts of interest in favor of the clients or, when required, obtain client consent to the
conflict or not act. The Code attempts to accomplish these objectives by, among other things, (i)
restricting trading in certain securities that cause a conflict of interest, as well as (ii) periodic reporting
regarding transactions and holdings of employees. The Code contains sections including, but not
limited to, the following key areas: (i) restrictions on personal investing activities; (ii) gifts and
Ameliora Wealth Management Ltd.
Dianastrasse 9 | 8002 Zurich | Switzerland
Page 13 of 36
Version 26 – 04.08.2025
business entertainment; and (iii) outside business activities.
Ameliora has designated a Chief Compliance Officer responsible for maintaining, reviewing and
enforcing Ameliora’s Code and corresponding policies and procedures. The fundamental position of
Ameliora is that, in effecting personal securities transactions, personnel of Ameliora cannot misuse
confidential client information, trade or pass information to anyone while Ameliora is acting for its
clients. All personal securities transactions by these persons must be conducted in accordance with
the Code and in a manner to avoid any conflict of interest or any abuse of any person’s position of
trust and responsibility. Furthermore, these persons should not take advantage of their positions
with or on behalf of a client. Ameliora will provide a copy of the Code to any client or prospective
client upon request.
Employees receive or give gifts or other benefits from clients. Employees are required to disclose all
gifts received to the Chief Compliance Officer. No employee may give, accept or receive on their own
behalf or on behalf of Ameliora any gift, benefit, inducement or other accommodation from any
vendor, broker, securities sales representative, client or prospective client (“business contact”),
which is in excess of CHF 250 (face or market value whichever is higher) per business contact per
year. Ameliora monitors compliance with this policy through quarterly reviews and acts promptly
when violations occur.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions or Holdings
From time to time, Ameliora personnel may invest in a security that is held by clients. This is a conflict
of interest, where persons might trade ahead of, alongside, or shortly after client transactions. To
mitigate these risks, Ameliora has established and enforced the following policies and procedures:
➢ Trade Monitoring: Compliance monitors employee and client trading activity to detect and
prevent front-running, parallel-running, or after-running behavior, including reviewing all
Code notices and filings;
➢ Trading Restrictions: Employees are prohibited from trading in securities sooner than three
business days after the correspondent client trades are settled.
XII.
Brokerage Practices
Ameliora does not have custody or possession of client assets; each client maintains custody of its
assets at one or more custodian banks selected by the client.
Each custodian bank acts as a broker-dealer and/or maintains relationships with designated broker-
dealers (including, in certain instances, an affiliate of the custodian bank). Ameliora sends orders for
securities transactions to the trading desk of the custodian or to the broker or dealer designated by
the custodian bank. Ameliora is not engaged in any activity that would result in it being deemed to
be a broker-dealer for its clients and does not receive direct or indirect transaction-based
compensation for any transaction.
Ameliora Wealth Management Ltd.
Dianastrasse 9 | 8002 Zurich | Switzerland
Page 14 of 36
Version 26 – 04.08.2025
As Ameliora does not select broker-dealers with whom to trade or set commission rates, Ameliora
does not guarantee best execution or the best brokerage commissions. Ameliora requires that these
trading desks provide it with that firm’s best execution policies and procedures and confirmation
that it meets its best execution requirements. Therefore, clients must accept that:
➢ Ameliora does not negotiate commission rates with broker-dealers (designated by the
custodian bank) with whom orders are placed either directly or via the custodian bank. The
applicable commissions and fees charged for securities transactions are agreed upon
between the client and the custodian bank when the client accepts the applicable
commission schedule published by the custodian bank or otherwise agrees.
➢ Commission charges will vary among clients and best execution may not be guaranteed by
Ameliora.
Because the client selects the custodian bank and thereby the broker-dealer to be used for securities
transactions involving its account, different clients may have accounts at the same custodian bank or
a single client may have multiple accounts at different custodian banks. Therefore, a client may pay
an executing broker a higher commission for a securities transaction than might be charged by
another broker-dealer executing the same transaction or the commission charged by the broker-
dealer executing a similar transaction for another client of Ameliora. Commission charges may also
vary between clients.
Clients must be aware that the broker-dealers used for transactions are not always registered broker-
dealers under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Use of Soft Dollars
Ameliora does not receive soft dollar benefits.
Directed Brokerage
Ameliora does not engage in directed brokerage.
Ameliora Wealth Management Ltd.
Dianastrasse 9 | 8002 Zurich | Switzerland
Page 15 of 36
Version 26 – 04.08.2025
Trade Errors
It is Ameliora’s policy to exercise the utmost care when handling client orders and to correct orders
when trade errors occur. Once an error is recognized, the person responsible for the error, or who
identifies it, must immediately notify the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Compliance Officer.
Corrective actions are taken as soon as possible. If possible, the trade is either cancelled or reversed.
In any case, Ameliora corrects the errors in the best interest of the client. Any gains from a reversal
or correction are passed onto the clients. Any losses are covered by Ameliora. Ameliora does not
offset gains with losses.
Aggregation/Allocation of Client Transactions
Ameliora records the pre-trade allocation and sends an order with this to the custodian trading desk
[or directed broker-dealer] for execution.
Ameliora has the ability to unfairly prioritize certain clients or accounts over others in the process of
allocating trades. Cherry picking is banned. Ameliora has policies in place to ensure trades are
allocated fairly and in the best interests of all clients and monitors to identify outliers or patterns and
addresses these forthwith.
Cross Trades
A cross trade occurs when one client buys and another client sells the same security, usually within
two hours or even one day. Ameliora only effects cross trades when onboarding a new client, closing
out a leaving client’s portfolio or during a rebalancing. Cross trades could lead to a prioritization of
one client over another. Ameliora addresses this conflict of interest by adhering to its best executions
procedures, having the cross trade effected at the best price and documenting that the trade is in
the best interests of both clients involved.
Principal transactions
Ameliora does not engage in principal transactions.

XIII. Review of Accounts
All managed accounts are reviewed by the Chief Investment Officer at least quarterly in order to
ensure that they remain in agreement with the client’s investment strategy and Ameliora’s prevailing
asset allocation for the relevant investment strategy as part of Ameliora’s investment and investment
control process.
Various other circumstances (for example, substantial international political changes, significant
market developments, unusual exchange rate movements) result in additional reviews of accounts.
When necessary, accounts will be rebalanced based on Ameliora’s tactical asset allocations.
The custodian bank provides written quarterly investment performance reports to clients containing
cash balances and all securities holdings as well as the sources of performance of the individual client
account.
XIV. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Ameliora does not receive compensation from third parties, such as retrocessions.
Ameliora has eight promoter (solicitor) agreements in place, in which Ameliora agrees to pay
solicitation fees between 10% and 67% of the management fees. Participating in solicitor agreements
could influence recommendations. To address this conflict of interest, Ameliora only recommends or
exercises discretion over securities that comply with the client’s needs, investment objectives and
risk tolerance, and adheres to strict best execution procedures. Such arrangements comply with the
conditions and requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended.
There are cases where Ameliora’s employees are invited to attend seminars and meetings during
which the costs of food and beverages are borne by a sponsoring brokerage firm or other party
extending the invitation. Accommodation and travel costs are, however, always paid by Ameliora.

XV.
Custody
Ameliora does not have custody as defined under the Investment Advisers Act.
Ameliora’s clients will authorize their custodian banks to deduct its fees from the client’s account at
the bank. Apart from this, Ameliora does not exercise any sort of custody over clients’ accounts.
Ameliora client accounts are held at qualified custodian banks in a separate account for each client.
Account statements are prepared by the custodian bank and delivered directly to the client or the
client’s representative at least quarterly.
XVI.
Investment Discretion
Under a discretionary management mandate, Ameliora has discretionary authority to manage client
accounts as described above. In some cases, clients limit the authority by which Ameliora is allowed
to act by placing investment restrictions on this authority in writing. In the context of a discretionary
mandate, Ameliora makes investment decisions without consulting the client by utilizing its limited
power of attorney for the management of the account maintained at the custodian bank selected by
the client.
Ameliora will assume discretionary authority only after an asset management agreement and the
power of attorney have been duly executed. In the context of a non-discretionary mandate,
Ameliora’s investment discretion is limited to an advisory role and Ameliora does not implement
investment decisions without the approval of the client. Ameliora never has discretionary authority
to select a qualified custodian for a client’s account.
XVII. Voting Client Securities
Ameliora does not have and will not accept any authority to vote client securities. Clients will receive
their proxies directly from their custodians. In case of questions, clients can contact Ameliora.
XVIII. Financial Information
Ameliora has nothing to disclose under this section.
