As of December 31, 2024, the Master Fund was approximately 67% invested in equity securities, 30% invested in debt securities and 3% invested in money market instruments and cash. The proportion of equities, debt and money market securities held by the Master Fund varies with market conditions and the Master Funds investment advisers assessment of their relative attractiveness as investment opportunities. The Master Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and other equity securities, bonds and other intermediate and long-term debt securities, including U.S. Government securities, and money market instruments (debt securities maturing in one year or less). The Master Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in common stocks and other equity securities tied economically to countries outside the United States and up to 5% of its assets in debt securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States. In addition, the Master Fund may invest up to 25% of its debt assets in lower quality debt securities (rated Ba1 or below and BB+ or below by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations designated by the Master Fund or unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the Master Fund). Such securities are sometimes referred to as junk bonds. The Master Fund uses a system of multiple portfolio managers in managing the funds assets. Under this approach, the portfolio of the Master Fund is divided into segments managed by individual portfolio managers. The Master Fund relies on the professional judgment of its investment adviser to make decisions about the Master Funds portfolio investments. The basic investment philosophy of the Master Funds investment adviser is to seek to invest in attractively priced securities that, in its opinion, represent good, long-term investment opportunities. Securities may be sold when the Master Funds investment adviser believes that they no longer represent relatively attractive investment opportunities.
