MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (UNAUDITED)

This report provides certain performance data for A&Q Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund") for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

The Fund's Investment Approach

The Fund commonly is referred to as a "fund of funds." Its investment objective is to seek capital appreciation over the long term, and it seeks to achieve this investment objective principally through the allocation of assets among a select group of alternative asset managers (the "Investment Managers") and the funds they operate. Investment Managers generally conduct their investment programs through unregistered investment vehicles, such as hedge funds, that have investors other than the Fund, and in other registered investment companies (collectively, the "Investment Funds").

The Fund invests in a portfolio of Investment Funds that employ the following strategies: credit/income, equity hedged, multi-strategy, relative value and trading.

Performance Review

The Fund generated a positive return for the year ended March 31, 2026.

The Fund finished positive for the last three quarters of 2025. The Fund slightly underperformed the HFRI FOF: Diversified Index during that time period. Equity hedged, credit, trading, relative value and multi-strategy Investment Funds were all positive contributors. Gains were led by equity hedged Investment Funds; one Investment Fund generated significant gains from long technology sector exposure. Relative value Investment Funds also produced a positive return for the year. Both Investment Funds in the portfolio that focus on fixed income relative value generated gains from EU rates and bond relative value. Another Investment Fund that focusses on commodity trading generated significant gains from long magnets and fiber optics themes. One Investment Fund focused on catastrophe bonds and insurance-linked securities credit contributed positively to performance during the period from underlying cat bond coupon income.

The Fund generated a positive performance during the first quarter of 2026. Trading and credit Investment Funds were positive contributors. Equity hedged Investment Funds were negative contributors. Multi-strategy and relative value Investment Funds produced muted performance. Losses were primarily produced by two Investment Funds that focuses fundamental equity hedged. Exposure to technology and consumer discretionary stocks produced negative performance. One Investment Fund that focusses on commodity trading generated significant gains from long carbides and magnets themes.

Fund Performance

For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund returned 10.99%. The HFRI FOF: Diversified Index returned 11.40%.

This graph compares a hypothetical $50,000 investment in the Fund with a similar investment in the HFRI FOF: Diversified Index. This index does not serve as a benchmark for the Fund and is shown for illustrative purposes only. The Fund does not have a designated performance benchmark. All figures for the Fund are based on its net asset value on the last business day of the first and each subsequent fiscal year, and include the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, and the Fund's maximum sales load of 2%. The index does not reflect expenses, fees or sales loads, which would lower performance.

Although the HFRI FOF: Diversified Index is used as a reference point for the A&Q Multi-Strategy Fund, there may be meaningful differences between the Fund and this index. Because managers self-select into this index, there may not be consistency across the character of underlying funds. Such differences could lead to differentiated outcomes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of

A&Q Multi-Strategy Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of A&Q Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund"), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2026, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at March 31, 2026, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments in investment funds as of March 31, 2026, by correspondence with the underlying investment funds. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC registered fund of hedge funds (formerly, UBS Hedge Fund Solutions LLC) investment companies since 1995.

Organization

A&Q Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund") was formed as a statutory trust under the laws of Delaware on February 7, 2011 and commenced operations on March 29, 2011. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund is commonly referred to as a "fund of funds". Its investment objective is to seek to consistently realize risk-adjusted appreciation principally through the allocation of assets among a select group of alternative asset managers (the "Investment Managers") and the funds they operate. Investment Managers generally conduct their investment programs through unregistered investment vehicles, such as hedge funds, that have investors other than the Fund, and in other registered investment companies (collectively, the "Investment Funds"). The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through the identification, selection and monitoring of Investment Managers and Investment Funds that UBS AM Americas (as defined below) believes will produce attractive returns over time. By diversifying the approach by which the Fund's assets are invested, the Fund seeks to achieve performance results that are less volatile in both rising and falling markets than investments made in accordance with a single approach.

Subject to the provisions of the Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended and restated from time to time (the "Declaration"), and the requirements of the 1940 Act, the business and affairs of the Fund shall be managed under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board", with an individual member referred to as a "Trustee"). The Trustees shall have the right, power and authority, on behalf of the Fund and in its name, to do all things necessary and proper to carry out their duties under the Declaration. Each Trustee shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Fund as are customarily vested in each trustee of a Delaware corporation, and each Trustee who is not an "interested person" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund (the "Independent Trustees") shall be vested with the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Fund as are customarily vested in each trustee of a closed-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act and organized as a Delaware corporation who is not an "interested person" of such company. The Trustees may perform such acts as they, in their sole discretion, determine to be proper for conducting the business of the Fund. No Trustee shall have the authority individually to act on behalf of or to bind the Fund except within the scope of such Trustee's authority as delegated by the Board. The Board may delegate (as may be permitted by the Declaration, the Fund's By-Laws and the Delaware Statutory Trust Act) the management of the Fund's day-to-day operations to one or more officers of the Fund or other persons (including, without limitation, UBS AM Americas (as defined below)), subject to the investment objective and policies of the Fund and to the oversight of the Board.

The Board has engaged UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC ("UBS AM Americas" or the "Adviser"), a Delaware limited liability company, to provide investment advice regarding the selection of Investment Funds and to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.

Organization (continued)

The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Group AG and is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

Initial and additional applications for shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") by eligible investors may be accepted at such times as the Board may determine and are generally accepted monthly. The Board reserves the right to reject any application for Shares in the Fund. Shares may be purchased as of the first business day of each month at the Fund's then current net asset value ("NAV") per Share. The Fund from time to time may offer to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders by shareholders. These repurchases will be made at such times and on such terms as may be determined by the Board in its complete and exclusive discretion. The Adviser expects that it will recommend to the Board that the Fund offer to repurchase Shares from shareholders as of the end of each calendar quarter. During the year ended March 31, 2026, 61,505.199 Shares were repurchased.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities. The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

The Adviser has determined that the Fund is an investment company as outlined in the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946) - Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2013-08"). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies.

Significant Accounting Policies

a.

Portfolio Valuation

The Fund values its investments at fair value, in accordance with US GAAP, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Fund uses NAV as its measure of fair value of an investment in an Investment Fund when (i) the Fund's investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and (ii) the NAV of the Investment Fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of investment company accounting, including measurement of the underlying investments at fair value. In evaluating the level at which the fair value measurement of the Fund's investments has been classified, the Fund has assessed factors including, but not limited to, price transparency, the ability to redeem at NAV at the measurement date and the existence or absence of certain restrictions at the measurement date.

Portfolio Valuation (continued)

US GAAP provides guidance in determining whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal market activity for such asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities). US GAAP also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction with regards to such an asset or liability is not orderly. In its consideration, the Fund must consider inputs and valuation techniques used for each class of assets and liabilities. Judgment is used to determine the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities for which disclosures about fair value measurements are provided. Fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities require greater disaggregation than the Fund's line items in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following is a summary of the investment strategies and any restrictions on the liquidity provisions of the investments in Investment Funds held by the Fund as of March 31, 2026. Investment Funds with no current redemption restrictions may be subject to future gates, lock-up provisions or other restrictions, in accordance with their offering documents. The Fund had no unfunded capital commitments as of March 31, 2026. The Fund used the following categories to classify its Investment Funds:

The Investment Funds in the credit/income strategy (total fair value of $31,695,514) utilize credit analysis to evaluate potential investments and use debt or debt-linked instruments to execute their investment theses. Their approach can be either fundamental, quantitative, or a combination of both. As of March 31, 2026, the Investment Funds in the credit/income strategy had $21,109,390, representing approximately 67% of the value of the investments in this category, subject to investor level gates.

The Investment Funds in the equity hedged strategy (total fair value of $94,797,267) generally utilize fundamental analysis to invest in publicly traded equities investing in both long and short positions seeking to capture perceived security mispricing. Portfolio construction is driven primarily by bottom-up fundamental research; top-down analysis may also be applied. As of March 31, 2026, the Investment Funds in the equity hedged strategy had $40,573,691, representing approximately 43% of the value of the investments in this category, subject to investor level gates.

The Investment Fund in the multi-strategy strategy (total fair value of $6,872,080) invests in both long and short, equity and debt strategies that are primarily in U.S. based securities. The management of this Investment Fund seeks arbitrage opportunities, distressed securities, corporate restructures and hedges established in equities, convertible securities, options, warrants, rights, forward contracts, futures, trade claims, credit default swaps and other derivatives, real estate and other financial instruments. The Investment Fund in the multi-strategy strategy is not subject to investor level gates and/or lock-ups.

Portfolio Valuation (continued)

The Investment Funds in the relative value strategy (total fair value of $82,969,369), a broad category, generally encompass strategies that are non-fundamental and non-directional, and often quantitatively driven. The Investment Funds in this strategy typically use arbitrage to exploit mispricing and other opportunities in various asset classes, geographies, and time horizons. The Investment Funds frequently focus on capturing the spread between two assets, while maintaining neutrality to other factors, such as geography, changes in interest rates, equity market movement, and currencies, to name a few examples. As of March 31, 2026, the Investment Funds in the relative value strategy had $82,969,369, representing 100% of the value of the investments in this category, subject to investor level gates and/or lock-ups. Included in this amount is $45,331,738, representing approximately 55% of the value of the investments in this category, that cannot be redeemed in full because the investment includes a restriction that does not allow for redemptions in the first 12-30 months after acquisition. The remaining restriction period for this investment ranges from 2-21 months at March 31, 2026.

The Investment Funds in the trading strategy (total fair value of $69,852,101) are generally top-down in nature and often driven by econometric and macroeconomic research. The Investment Funds may utilize financial instruments, such as foreign exchange, equities, rates, sovereign debt, currencies, and commodities to express a manager's view. In executing different approaches, managers may use either fundamental or quantitative models or a combination of both. As of March 31, 2026, the Investment Funds in the trading strategy had $50,155,488, representing approximately 72% of the value of the investments in this category, subject to investor level gates and/or lock-ups. Included in this amount is $22,177,867, representing approximately 32% of the value of the investments in this category, that cannot be redeemed in full because the investment includes a restriction that does not allow for redemptions in the first 12-24 months after acquisition. The remaining restriction period for this investment ranges from 1-7 months at March 31, 2026.

The investments within the scope of ASC 820, for which fair value is measured using NAV as a practical expedient, should not be categorized within the fair value hierarchy. The total fair value of the investments in Investment Funds valued using NAV as a practical expedient is $286,186,331 and is therefore excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Additional disclosures, including liquidity terms and conditions of the underlying investments, are included in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Portfolio Valuation (continued)

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1-

quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2-

inputs to the valuation methodology include quotes for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument

Level 3-

inputs to the valuation methodology include significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The NAV of the Fund is determined by the Fund's administrator, under the oversight of the Adviser, as of the close of business at the end of any fiscal period in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below or as may be determined from time to time pursuant to policies established by the Board. The Fund's investments in Investment Funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating agreements and offering memorandums, as appropriate. The Adviser has adopted procedures pursuant to ASC 820 in which the Fund values its investments in Investment Funds at fair value. Fair value is generally determined utilizing NAVs supplied by, or on behalf of, the Investment Funds' Investment Managers, which are net of management and incentive fees charged by the Investment Funds. NAVs received by, or on behalf of, the Investment Funds' Investment Managers are based on the fair value of the Investment Funds' underlying investments in accordance with the policies established by the Investment Funds. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the value of the Fund's investments in the Investment Funds may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market been available. See Schedule of Portfolio Investments for further information.

The fair value relating to certain underlying investments of these Investment Funds, for which there is no ready market, has been estimated by the respective Investment Fund's Investment Manager and is based upon available information in the absence of readily ascertainable fair values and does not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.

It is unknown, on an aggregate basis, whether the Investment Funds held any investments whereby the Fund's proportionate share exceeded 5% of the Fund's net assets at March 31, 2026.

The fair value of the Fund's assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

b.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

The Fund accounts for realized gains and losses from Investment Fund transactions based on the pro-rata ratio of the fair value and cost of the underlying investment at the date of redemption. Interest income is earned from the investment in affiliate and recorded on the accrual basis.

c.

Fund Expenses

The Fund bears all expenses incurred in its business, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Fund's account; legal fees; accounting and auditing fees; custodial fees; costs of computing the Fund's NAV; costs of insurance; registration expenses; interest expense; due diligence, including travel and related expenses; expenses of meetings of the Board; all costs with respect to communications to shareholders; and other types of expenses approved by the Board. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

d.

Income Taxes

The Fund intends, consistent with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies, to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains, resulting in no provision requirements for federal income or excise taxes. The Fund has a September 30 tax year-end. Unless otherwise indicated, all applicable tax disclosures reflect tax adjusted balances at September 30, 2025.

The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and applicable states. The Adviser has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on its federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for federal or state income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal and state income tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue. The Fund will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Adviser does not believe there are positions for which it is reasonably likely that the total amounts of unrecognized tax liability will significantly change within 12 months of the reporting date.

Permanent book-to-tax basis differences resulted in the reclassification of amounts stated below, between total distributable earnings and paid-in capital reported on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2026. Such permanent reclassifications are attributable to differences

between book and tax reporting of the Fund's investments which do not affect net assets or NAV per Share values.

Total Distributable Earnings Paid in Capital
$0 ($0)

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the financial statement year ended March 31, 2026 was $27,936,542 of ordinary income. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the financial statement year ended March 31, 2025 was $24,576,449 of ordinary income and $3,683,031 of distribution in excess of ordinary income.

The tax basis of distributable earnings as of September 30, 2025 (the Fund's most recent tax year) shown below represents future distribution requirements that the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations.

* Under federal tax law, qualified late year ordinary and capital losses realized after December 31 and October 31, respectively, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the tax year ended September 30, 2025, the Fund incurred a late year ordinary loss of $6,614,418 and a capital loss of $0 which it will elect to defer to the tax year ending September 30, 2026.

At September 30, 2025, the Fund utilized $6,032,474 of capital loss carryforward. The capital loss carryforward is available to offset future realized capital gains. Capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses and are not subject to expiration.

The federal tax cost of investments is adjusted for taxable income allocated to the Fund from the Investment Funds. The aggregate tax cost of investments at March 31, 2026 is $265,739,749. Investment net tax basis unrealized appreciation was $20,547,105 consisting of $20,937,804 unrealized appreciation and $390,699 unrealized depreciation.

The primary reason for differences between the earnings reported above and the federal tax cost of investments, in comparison with the related amounts reported on the Fund's Statement of Assets and

e.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of monies held at The Bank of New York Mellon. Cash equivalents consist of short-term investments that have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase or money market funds. Such accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts. At March 31, 2026, the Fund held an investment of $100,523 in the UBS Select Treasury Institutional Fund, an affiliate of the Fund, which is included within cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The UBS Select Treasury Institutional Fund invests primarily in government securities and other short-term, highly liquid instruments. The cash equivalents are recorded at NAV per share which approximates fair value and are considered to be Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The Fund held no cash as of March 31, 2026. There were no restrictions on cash and cash equivalents held as of March 31, 2026.

f.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Because of the uncertainty of valuation, such estimates may differ significantly from values that would have been used had a ready market existed, and the differences could be material.

g.

Reportable Segment

The Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Updates No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of the new standard impacts financial statements disclosures only and does not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The

management committee of the Fund's adviser, acts as the Fund's CODM. The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is predetermined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund's portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund's portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions) which are used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance versus the Fund's comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund's single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund's financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as "total assets" and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

3.

Related Party Transactions

The Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Fund pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Adviser also provides certain administrative services to the Fund, including: providing office space, handling of shareholder inquiries regarding the Fund, providing shareholders with information concerning their investment in the Fund, coordinating and organizing meetings of the Fund's Board and providing other support services. In consideration for all such services, the Fund pays the Adviser a fee (the "Management Fee"), computed and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund's adjusted net assets determined as of the last day of each month. Adjusted net assets as of any month-end date means the total value of all assets of the Fund, less an amount equal to all accrued debts, liabilities and obligations of the Fund other than Incentive Fee (as described below) accruals if any, as of such date, and calculated before giving effect to any repurchase of Shares on such date. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred a Management Fee of $5,051,100, of which $1,176,545 remains payable and is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2026.

The Management Fee is computed as of the start of business on the last business day of the period to which each Management Fee relates, after adjustment for any Share purchases effective on such date, and is payable in arrears. A portion of the Management Fee and Incentive Fee (as defined below) is paid by UBS AM Americas to its affiliates.

In addition to the Management Fee paid to the Adviser, the Fund also pays the Adviser an incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee"), on a quarterly basis, at an annual rate of 5% of the Fund's net profits, if any. For the purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee, net profits will be determined by taking into account net realized gain or loss (including any realized gain that has been distributed to

shareholders during a fiscal quarter and net of Fund expenses, including Management Fee) and the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities positions, as well as dividends, interest and other income. No Incentive Fee will be payable for any fiscal quarter unless losses and depreciation from prior fiscal quarters (the "cumulative loss") have been recovered by the Fund, known as a "high water mark" calculation. The cumulative loss to be recovered before payment of Incentive Fees will be reduced in the event of withdrawals by shareholders. The Adviser is under no obligation to repay any Incentive Fees previously paid by the Fund. Thus, the payment of the Incentive Fee for a fiscal quarter will not be reversed by the subsequent decline of the Fund's assets in any subsequent fiscal quarter. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred an Incentive Fee of $1,859,116, of which $157,066 remains payable and is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2026.

The Incentive Fee is in addition to the incentive fees or allocations charged by the unregistered Investment Funds.

UBS Financial Services Inc. ("UBS FSI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Americas, Inc., together with any other broker or dealer appointed by the Fund as distributor of its Shares (the "Distributor"), acts as the distributor of the Fund's Shares on a best efforts basis, subject to various conditions, without special compensation from the Fund. Currently, UBS FSI acts as the sole distributor of the Fund's Shares, and bears its own costs associated with its activities as distributor. Sales loads, if any, charged on contributions are debited against the contribution amounts, to arrive at a net subscription amount. The sales load does not constitute assets of the Fund.

Each Trustee of the Fund receives an annual retainer of $12,500 plus a fee for each meeting attended. The Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board each receive an additional annual retainer in the amount of $20,000. These additional annual retainer amounts are paid for by the Fund on a pro-rata basis along with the two other registered alternative investment funds advised by UBS AM Americas. All Trustees are reimbursed by the Fund for all reasonable out of pocket expenses. Such amounts are included within Officer's and Trustees' fees in the Statement of Operations.

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred a portion of the annual compensation of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer in the amount of $10,753 which is included in Officer's and Trustees' fees in the Statement of Operations, none of which was payable at March 31, 2026.

The Fund, along with the two other registered alternative investment funds advised by UBS AM Americas, and the Trustees, are insured under an insurance policy which protects against claims alleging a wrongful act, error, omission, misstatement, misleading statement, and other items made in error. The annual premiums are allocated among the funds on a pro-rata basis based on each

fund's assets under management. On an annual basis, the allocation methodology is reviewed and approved by the Board and the Adviser determines the amounts to be charged to each fund based upon the Board approved methodology. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred $80,846 in insurance fees, which is included in printing, insurance and other expenses in the Statement of Operations, none of which was payable at March 31, 2026.

The Fund, along with several other funds advised by UBS AM Americas, is party to a Credit Agreement (See Note 6). On a quarterly basis, the credit provider charges a fee (the "Commitment Fee") on the unused portion of the total amount of the Credit Agreement. The Adviser negotiates the commitment amount with the counterparty based on the amount each fund will be expected to borrow at a given time.

1   Overview and Scope

These procedures ("Procedures") set out the process by which UGA (or, if applicable, third parties engaged by UGA) executes voting rights or a decision presented by third-party general partners ("General Partners" or "GPs") / managers ("Managers") of the investment funds in which UGA invests ("Funds") in the form of investment-level corporate actions and/or limited partnership advisory committee ("LPAC") votes. This is a global procedure that covers portfolios of investments, managed by UGA on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, that are in the form of accounts, funds or mandates (each a "Portfolio") and (b) platform services provided by UGA, which include but are not limited to, (i) due diligence, structuring and other services to support single manager access solutions, including direct access funds, which are distributed to WM clients, (ii) discretionary investment advisory services to UGA-sponsored direct access funds, and (iii) certain non-discretionary investment advisory services to WM clients (collectively, the "Platform").

How a vote is executed and/or processed may vary depending on UGA member clients' respective requirements, objectives and circumstances as well as varying investment-level considerations such as region, investment strategy, risk tolerance, liquidity, etc. These procedures are intended to be a guideline and may not cover all possible scenarios. 

Material exceptions to the Procedures should be escalated to the relevant UGA asset class vertical ("Vertical") investment committee ("IC") or GWM Platform Investment Committee ("PIC").

2   Corporate Actions

Corporate actions are requests from a Fund or General Partner / Manager for a decision or action from investors on matters related to their investment in such Fund, typically pursuant to a Fund's governing documents.

2.1  Process

Corporate actions may come in various forms and are sent to different individuals and groups within UGA and/or to certain non-discretionary clients or clients serviced by the Platform directly invested in the relevant investment fund. 

Corporate actions from a Fund, GP and/or Manager received by employees of UGA member entities (which may receive corporate actions from third party administrators or custodians for the relevant Portfolio or third-party client) should first be communicated promptly to individuals from the relevant Vertical and/or the Platform as well as Structuring for immediate attention.

The relevant Vertical, or Structuring working with the relevant Vertical(s), and/or the Platform will summarize the corporate action for the relevant UGA stakeholders. Different decisions may be made for different Portfolios and for clients serviced by the Platform based on a variety of factors, including differences in client

/ Portfolio investment objectives, guidelines and restrictions, regulatory or tax implications, among others.

Potential conflicts of interest will be escalated in accordance with these Procedures.

In certain situations, depending on the nature and/or complexity of the corporate action, UGA Legal and/or external Legal counsel and/or UGA CORC may also be asked to review and provide advice.

A Vertical / the Platform and Structuring may have additional requirements and steps that govern how a corporate action is processed as further detailed in the appendices to these Procedures ("Appendices"), which may be modified, removed or supplemented from time to time.

4

2.2

Corporate Actions: Platform

Any corporate actions involving the Platform should be communicated to the relevant members of the Platform, the Vertical and members of Structuring covering the Platform as soon as possible so that they can communicate and action as needed, including with additional stakeholders such as GWM client / financial advisors and UGA Legal / CORC (as needed).

-

Clients serviced by the Platform invested directly in the underlying funds make their own decisions with respect to a corporate action, but Structuring, ODD and the relevant Vertical(s) and/or the Platform members responsible for monitoring such Fund may review, communicate and provide clients and/or financial advisors / client advisors with support in connection with such corporate action as necessary.

-

If there are clients serviced by the Platform that are invested through a third-party feeder, the third-party manager of such feeder generally reviews and actions such corporate action on behalf of such feeder in communication with relevant members of the Verticals, ODD, Structuring (as applicable) and the Platform.

-

If there are clients serviced by the Platform invested through a UGA-sponsored feeder, the Vertical that is assigned such UGA-sponsored feeder will review such corporate action with Structuring and inform the PIC. The PIC may provide its views to the relevant Vertical and Structuring which will process such corporate action accordingly.

For corporate actions involving both Portfolios and the Platform, with respect to clients serviced by the Platform, Structuring and the relevant Vertical(s) and/or the Platform members responsible for monitoring the relevant Fund will review the corporate action in accordance with the framework above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PIC may also choose to delegate any decision-making to the Vertical(s) responsible for monitoring the relevant Fund.

2.3

Corporate Actions: Portfolios

Corporate actions involving Portfolios will be decided by the Vertical IC to which that Portfolio is assigned. The relevant Vertical IC may choose to delegate reviews and recommendations to the Vertical which will do so with input from ODD and Structuring, as applicable.

For Portfolios where UBS AG or UBS Switzerland AG has an investment or portfolio management role, members from the relevant UGA Portfolio Management Forum will confirm (or reject) recommendations by the relevant Vertical ICs (which may delegate review and processing of corporate actions to the relevant Vertical) for such Portfolios.

For Portfolios managed on a non-discretionary basis, separate client approval may also be necessary depending on the nature of the corporate action and the terms of such client's investment advisory agreement with the relevant UGA member entity.

2.4

Corporate Action Matters

Matters presented by General Partners / Managers for a decision from investors are those deemed to have a material impact on an investor's investment or related terms, typically pursuant to a fund's governing documents.

These may include (but aren't limited to):

-

Addition of or increase in fees payable to manager

-

Addition of or increase in expense pass-through

5

-

Material changes to a fund's investment strategy, guidelines, or restrictions

-

Extension of fund term / liquidity

-

Transactions involving conflicts of interest

-

Fund restructuring

-

Key person approvals

-

Wind down of fund

In certain circumstances, the relevant ICs and/or clients serviced by the Platform that are direct investors in the relevant Fund (as applicable) may choose to abstain or choose not to vote. These may include an annual general meeting of investors in a Fund where the agenda includes standard and routine matters such as approving auditors and directors for the Fund, or where multiple clients serviced by the Platform are invested in a Fund through a UGA-sponsored feeder.

3

LPACs

An LPAC is a committee appointed by a General Partner of a Fund consisting of individuals representing certain (typically the largest) limited partners who are presented with various fund-related matters for consultation and/or approval during the lifetime of a Fund, such as conflicts of interest transactions or deviations from a Fund's investment guidelines. Other matters may go to all limited partners ("LPs") for consent rather than the LPAC.

3.1

Considerations Applicable to UGA LPAC Seats

Seats on an LPAC may be negotiated by UGA or offered by a General Partner. The seats may be voting or non-voting / observer seats.

-

The scope of authority as a voting member of the LPAC may be broader than rights as a non-member LP.

-

Observer seats entitle the individual to receive transparency into but not vote on, participate in or influence matters presented to an LPAC. This may be preferred in certain circumstances, including (but not limited to) when the LPAC remit is too broad or there are material conflicts of interest with other LPAC members or within UGA in connection with the seat and, with respect to the Platform, clients serviced by the Platform are only offered manager access solely by way of distribution of interests in the relevant Fund or in a third party feeder vehicle.

General guidance for LPACs include (but are not limited to):

-

Voting LPAC members are expected to participate and vote.

-

The Fund's partnership agreement ("LPA") should identify which issues require communication with or a vote among the LPs.

-

LPAC members and the GP should disclose potential conflicts of interest specific to a matter under the LPAC's consideration to the entire LPAC in advance of a vote, such as co-investments in underlying portfolio companies, exposures to the GP in other funds, minority ownership of the GP, etc.

-

Areas of confidentiality should also be identified.

-

GPs should not seek waivers for actions taken in accordance with LPAC approval on matters that should have been presented to all LPs for approval

Factors to consider prior to taking an LPAC seat include (but are not limited to):

-

Scope of authority: matters should be in line with expectations (see Section 3.4 of these Procedures for examples).

-

Level of transparency: access to sufficient information for LPAC members to make informed decisions.

UGA should seek the ability to share information in connection with an LPAC seat and related

6

matters with other UGA affiliates.

-

Duty of care / indemnification

•

LPAC members should have limited liability and no fiduciary duties to other investors or the Fund and be covered by the indemnity provisions in the relevant Fund documents.

-

D&O / E&O insurance coverage: LPAC members should be covered by the Fund's applicable insurance policies.

-

Reimbursement of costs: LPAC members do not receive remuneration.

•

However, they may be reimbursed for the cost of LPAC participation in LPAC meetings in accordance with UGA's Gifts & Entertainment policy.

•

Costs for engaging external counsel or other expertise should also be borne by the Fund.

-

UGA Conflicts: LPAC members must escalate any potential conflicts of interest within UGA in connection with LPAC seats and related votes (if applicable) in accordance with these Procedures and abstain from voting in such instances.

-

Time commitment: typically, 1-2 days / year, though could be more time consuming in a distressed situation.

-

LPAC Composition and Voting:

•

Participating individuals should have delegated authority to vote on behalf of their respective organisations / clients.

•

The GP must not be an LPAC member, actual or perceived.

•

Clear voting and quorum thresholds: e.g. one vote per member, majority for quorum, etc.

•

LPAC members should understand how and when they may be removed, e.g., revocation of a seat for repeated failure to attend meetings or vote on matters presented.

-

LPAC Meetings:

•

LPACs should meet regularly on a pre-agreed frequency, with the option to attend remotely via telephone or video. GPs may decide to convene more frequently on an ad hoc basis.

•

GPs should provide notice to all LPs when the LPAC has engaged counsel or third parties to provide specialized advice, e.g., valuations experts.

•

GPs should notify all LPs upon certain decisions taken or approved by the LPAC.

•

Minutes should be made available to LPs upon request.

ERISA considerations when representing ERISA investors may include (but are not limited to):

-

An LPAC seat holder (including their delegate) representing ERISA clients must be from a UGA member entity that complies with all applicable ERISA requirements, e.g. is a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and qualifies as a QPAM (or under another prohibited transaction exemption under applicable ERISA rules).

-

If someone from UGA is appointed to an LPAC representing both ERISA and non-ERISA investors, they must escalate any potential conflicts in accordance with these Procedures.

-

The LPAC seat holder must recuse themselves from decisions relating to transactions with UBS affiliates if representing an ERISA client to ensure self-dealing rules aren't triggered. When acting as an ERISA fiduciary it is important to avoid the appearance of conflicts, even if such seat holder is unable to exercise the authority to cause such proposed transaction to occur.

The facts and circumstances of each LPAC will vary by Fund, GP and asset class. The above is intended to serve as a guide for UGA members on LPAC governance, whether as a potential member of an LPAC or as an LP without a seat and the relevant individuals from the relevant Vertical, Structuring and/or the Platform will generally seek to have these matters addressed during their negotiations with the General Partners / Managers with respect to LPAC governance and related seats.

Each proposed and current LPAC seat should be reviewed and assessed on a case-by-case basis in light of the facts and circumstances applicable to each seat.

3.2  LPAC Membership Process and Control Framework

7

LPAC Seat Approval

Each new LPAC seat will be approved by the relevant IC. The IC approval request will detail:

-

Name of proposed seat holder

-

Whether the seat is voting or non-voting / observer

-

Approval powers

-

UGA client segment / entity investing (if for Portfolios, which Portfolios)

-

Anticipated fund term / length of investment

-

Other LPAC members (if known)

-

Other relevant detail as deemed appropriate by the Vertical.

Note that other ICs will also be required to approve an LPAC seat to the extent such seat represents any other Portfolios or clients they are responsible for or are servicing (or expected to service), respectively.

The determination to request an LPAC seat for an investment and whether it should be a voting or non-voting seat on behalf of Portfolios will be made by the relevant Vertical IC and, where the seat is on behalf of clients serviced by the Platform who are investing direct or via a third party feeder, the Head of the Platform and at least one of the Co-Heads of UGA.

Once it is confirmed that UGA will receive and accept an LPAC seat, an individual from UGA will be designated to hold such seat by the relevant Vertical IC and/or Platform IC.

-

Individuals must have the requisite competency and capacity to make decisions (where they are voting members) on all matters within the purview of the LPAC and have sufficient familiarity with the relevant investment fund and/or the General Partner as well as the client segment/ entity being represented.

-

Subject to the terms of the applicable fund documents, each UGA LPAC member will appoint a delegate or alternate who is of a similar level of seniority and experience in the event they are not available to attend a meeting or vote on a particular matter presented, their membership on an LPAC needs to be withdrawn for any reason, or such UGA LPAC member is no longer an employee of UGA.

-

Senior members ("Executive Director" rank or above) of the relevant Vertical will be consulted on material put to an LPAC vote if the relevant LPAC seat (or delegation) is held by an analyst that is a "Director" level rank or below.

-

Material votes where a UGA LPAC member voted (or would have voted if an observer / non-voting seat) differently from the rest of the LPAC must be disclosed in writing via email to the UGA Governance & Review Forum at DL-UGA-GovReviewForum.

•

A material LPAC vote for these purposes includes (but is not limited to) a vote that involve matters regarding: (i) changes to the investment program, guidelines or restrictions, (ii) conflicts of interest, (iii) extensions of Fund term (if not delegated to the LPs), (iv) valuation, (v) removal of the GP and (v) allocation of deal flow.

There may be other matters (such as those described in Section 3.4 below) that may be deemed material in light of the facts and circumstances related to a Fund and/or GP/Manager.

•

If an LPAC seat holder does not receive transparency into the outcome of a matter put to an LPAC vote, such LPAC seat holder will nonetheless disclose the vote to the UGA Governance & Review Forum if it determines that a contrary decision by the LPAC would have a material impact on the Portfolios or the Platform (as applicable).

Each LPAC vote will follow the process set forth in these Procedures (including as may be supplemented by the Appendices). Each LPAC seat holder is responsible for ensuring compliance with these Procedures.

8

3.3  LPAC Voting Process

Requests for LPAC votes are sent to the relevant LPAC members from a fund's General Partner. The relevant Vertical and/or the Platform (as applicable) will review and summarize the LPAC vote for the relevant UGA stakeholders. However, to the extent there are multiple LPAC seats representing different Portfolios and/or clients serviced by the Platform, different decisions may be taken based on a variety of factors, including differences in client / Portfolio investment objectives, guidelines and restrictions, regulatory and/or tax implications, among others.

Where an LPAC seat represents clients serviced by the Platform and Portfolios, a similar process to that followed for corporate actions will apply in relation to LPAC votes. The LPAC seat holder will need to carefully consider the impact to each respective set of clients it represents, unless one of the Portfolios being represented is an ERISA client (in which case they would follow the Procedures applicable to ERISA clients in Section 3.1 above).

Potential conflicts of interest must be escalated in accordance with these Procedures.

In certain situations, depending on the nature and/or complexity of the LPAC vote, UGA Legal and/or external Legal counsel and/or UGA CORC advice may be sought as needed.

A Vertical / the Platform and/or Structuring may have additional requirements that govern how an LPAC vote is processed as further detailed in the Appendices, which may be modified, removed or supplemented from time to time.

3.4  LPAC Scope

Matters that an LPAC is expected to opine on include (but aren't limited to):

-

Conflicts of interest where GP / manager has the potential to gain or otherwise profit from transactions entered by the Fund (almost always)

-

Review and approval of valuation methodology and any changes to that methodology, and in limited circumstances, the valuations themselves

-

Allocation decisions or approvals of changes to deal-flow allocations

-

Changes to investment guidelines, restrictions

-

Approval of replacement key persons or other matters related to key person time and attention, changes to key person provisions

-

Suspension of investment period during key person event

-

LP defaults

-

Reduction or expansion in fund size

-

Performance considerations such as clawbacks or true ups

-

Reviews of the costs of applicable operational advisors

Economic and termination issues should generally reside with the LPs more broadly (vs. with the LPAC):

-

Changes in fees, waterfall

-

Extension of fund term

-

Extension of investment period

-

Ancillary fee offsets

-

Changes to investment strategy

-

Termination of fund and/or investment period (e.g., following a key person event, for cause)

Matters reserved to the LPAC will vary and the above is not intended to be exhaustive. Other than in certain

9

limited circumstances set forth in the Appendices, LPAC members should not participate in any investment decisions (e.g., whether to make or dispose of certain investments) to avoid being deemed to control the Fund or participate in the Fund's management / operations, potentially triggering fiduciary duties to the Fund and other investors. There could also be U.S. tax implications for sovereign wealth fund investors if deemed to participate in management of the relevant investment fund through a UGA member holding an LPAC seat.

In certain circumstances and as noted above, an LPAC member with a voting seat may abstain or choose not to vote, such as when matters are presented to an LPAC that may give rise to a potential conflict of interest.

4    Roles and Responsibilities

Corporate Actions

The relevant Vertical IC or PIC for corporate actions involving clients serviced by the Platform will be responsible for approving corporate actions; provided that, with respect to clients serviced by the Platform, the process set out in 2.4 above will apply.

The ICs may delegate the review and processing of corporate actions to the relevant Verticals with input from other teams such as Structuring and ODD. The relevant Vertical, or Structuring working with the relevant Vertical(s), and/or the Platform will review and summarize the corporate action, inform / make recommendations to the relevant ICs and escalate to the relevant UGA stakeholders (e.g. UGA Management Forum, UGA Governance & Review Forum, UGA Legal / Compliance), as needed and applicable.

LPACs

The relevant Verticals / the Platform and Structuring will look to negotiate LPAC seats / observer positions as appropriate. The initial agreement with a GP for an LPAC seat should be reflected in the standard engagement term sheet (the "SETS"). Such LPAC seat and any relevant terms should ultimately be reflected in the final fund documentation (which may include a letter agreement or other form of side letter).

The Verticals / the Platform will be responsible for choosing the relevant individual who will take the LPAC seat in accordance with these Procedures and obtaining the relevant IC or PIC approvals.

The ICs may delegate the review and approval of LPAC votes to the relevant Verticals with input from other teams such as Structuring and ODD. The relevant Vertical, or Structuring working with the relevant Vertical(s), and/or the Platform will review and summarize the LPAC vote, inform the relevant ICs and escalate to the relevant UGA stakeholders (e.g. UGA Management Forum, UGA Governance & Review Forum, UGA Legal / Compliance), as needed and applicable.

5    Escalations

5.1   Conflicts of Interest

All employees of UGA should act in the interests of our clients. In accordance with the UBS Conflicts of Interests Framework, appropriate steps to identify, prevent and manage actual and potential conflicts of interests arising from corporate actions and LPAC votes must be taken.

Any proposed seats representing both Portfolios and the Platform should be escalated to the UGA Governance

& Review Forum as well as UGA Legal and C&ORC immediately to assess potential conflicts of interest and for guidance as to how such proposed seat holder should approach a vote or any other matter presented to the LPAC, even if solely as a non-voting / observer member.

10

Note that, as provided in Section 3.1 above, if such LPAC seat is also for ERISA investors, the seat holder must act in the best interest of the ERISA investors due to obligations to such investors as an ERISA fiduciary and disclose that potential conflict to the non-ERISA clients.

Actual or potential conflicts of interests, including conflicts between UGA legal entities, must be escalated immediately to the UGA Governance & Review Forum. The UGA Governance & Review Forum will review and provide independent oversight and challenge of the measures to address conflicts. Please also refer to section 11 of UBS's Proxy Voting Policy (4-P-002634) for further detail on the Proxy Voting Conflict of Interest Procedure.

6  Record Keeping

Corporate Actions / Proxy Votes

Each Vertical IC and the PIC will maintain a list of corporate actions / proxy votes and related decisions. This may be delegated to the relevant Verticals with support from Structuring and other UGA teams (e.g. UGA Operations) as needed.

Filing Requirements

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC, as a SEC Form 13F filer, is also required to file an annual Form N-PX for any "say on pay" proxy votes.

Unless otherwise provided in the Appendices, for LPACs:

-

Each voting LPAC seat must be approved through and disclosed in UBS's Affirmation Online tool (goto/aol).

-

The relevant Vertical(s) and/or the Platform will maintain a list of all LPAC seats they hold (including non-voting / observer seats), which will be updated and provided to the UGA Business Risk Group at DL-UGA-BRG who will aggregate and provide to the UGA Governance & Review Forum on a quarterly (or ad hoc if changes are made) basis.

11

APPENDIX I - REAL ESTATE

1  Corporate Actions

Given the typical size of the funds and number of investors, investors in a commingled fund investment typically have a smaller ownership percentage when compared to an investor's ownership percentage in other types of investments, such as non-fund investments (including club deals, co-investments and joint ventures, collectively, "NFIs") where UBS clients could own the majority of the investment. While still extremely important, the corporate actions in commingled funds are typically restricted to a small number of ad hoc voting items as stipulated in their governing documents.

As mentioned above, NFIs typically have a smaller number of investors, leading to a larger ownership percentage per investor with the potential for RE clients to hold a majority of the voting shares in the investment. The corporate actions for an NFI will be stipulated in the governing documents although NFIs tend to have both routine voting / signoff by investors as well as ad hoc voting matters. In addition to the process stipulated for commingled funds, the below addresses routine voting matters and escalation practices.

Certain corporate actions must be raised either with the UGA Real Estate Investment Committee ("RE IC") or the relevant regional investment team within the Real Estate Vertical ("RE"). UGA Legal or C&ORC approval may also be sought if appropriate. This is not an exhaustive list of corporate actions that could be raised. For clarity, the regional investment teams will approve routine decisions and any material decisions are escalated to the RE IC.

1.1  Corporate actions which must be raised to RE IC

The following corporate actions must be raised to the RE IC for approval before voting on behalf of RE Portfolios. This is not an exhaustive list of corporate actions. If the corporate action is material, the corporate action must be escalated to the RE IC.

-

Changes in investment restrictions

-

Changes in investment strategy

-

Change in leverage policy

-

Appointment of liquidator

-

Wind down of fund with mutual agreement of GP

-

Issuance of units not at NAV

-

Removal of the general partner, termination of the partnership, termination of the fund etc.

-

Replacement of GP for cause, after a removal event, replacement of GP without cause

-

Merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or dissolution of the fund

-

Transfer of GP and GP carried interest

If RE has negotiated several key decision rights which would require RE IC involvement for immaterial decisions, pre-approval for any reasonable changes/proposals to the above corporate actions can be attained by the RE IC, allowing the regional team to vote on behalf of all clients on these certain pre-defined non-conflict topics. In this case, these corporate actions do not need to be raised again.

Depending on the severity of the action or vote, the analyst must either involve the regional teams or the RE IC to approve a vote on behalf of a particular Portfolio.

1.2  Corporate Actions Processing and Execution

12

Other than corporate actions for feeders in which clients serviced by the Platform invest, the relevant member designated by the RE Vertical will distribute a corporate action notice and corresponding documents to the relevant analyst within the RE Vertical who will review the corporate action and provide a recommendation to the RE IC (or relevant regional teams as applicable) either at an IC meeting or via email.

2  LPACs

2.1  LPAC Votes / Vetoes

The following approval/veto decisions should all be raised to the regional investment teams by the relevant Vertical analyst before voting on behalf of RE Portfolios. Depending on the implications of the rights, the decisions should be raised to the RE IC. We expect the following approval/veto rights on investments to be raised (however this list is not exhaustive):

-

Transactions that impact/violate investment restrictions

-

Transaction with an affiliate or otherwise prohibited by the LPA

-

Changes to the investment strategy or acquisition outside of the investment strategy

-

Investments where the value of the underlying real estate asset is greater than a certain amount

-

Acquisitions that will breach either the investment guidelines or the LTV limits, or are related party transactions

-

Transactions that cause 10% or more of the fund to be invested in a new country

-

Suspensions of investment period during key man event and any non-direct RE investments

The following are examples of items that could be raised at an LPAC for voting, although not exhaustive. Any formal votes taken at an LPAC should be raised to the regional team. Depending on the implications of the votes, the decisions should be raised to the RE IC.

-

Changes to Leverage Policy, Valuation Policy, Investment Restrictions, Investment Policy, Board Composition, Appraisal Policy, the Capital Allocation Policy, Fund agreement changes, Valuation methodology etc.

-

Conflicts of Interest

-

Fees or expenses related to third parties,

-

Related party transactions

-

Liquidity strategy

-

Issuance or purchase of units at Premiums or Discounts

-

Deviations from management regulations

-

Approval of any actions causing the Fund leverage to rise above the Fund's agreed maximum LTV

-

Approval of operating expenses exceeding the Fund's cap

Approving acquisitions, disposals, capital expenditures for the account and risk of the Investors

-

Breach of maximum fund commitment

-

Approving JVs, replacement of key persons, CIKS, investments in new countries

For NFIs, LPACs are negotiated to make certain key decisions (i.e., purchase or sell investments, etc.) in order to for UGA to avoid being deemed to control the relevant Fund for U.S. Bank Holding Company Act purposes. The LPs or the LPAC and the GP decide collectively on investment-related matters for such NFIs. In most cases, the investors have given the RE IC the authority to make such investment-related decisions and vote on such matters

13

on their behalf by contract (via IMAs, etc.).

Corporate Actions / LPAC Voting Processing and Execution

1.1

Third Party Funds

The SH-FOF-current mailbox rule requires that any e-mail where the body or subject of the message includes the specific words "EGM", "Proxy", "Extraordinary", "Corporate action", "Shareholders meeting", "Consent", "Vote" or "Proxies" will automatically forward to the Hedge Fund ("HF") and Private Credit ("PC") portfolio execution team ("InvOps") DL (OL-fof-portfolio-execution). InvOps also relies on the Administrators who are authorized recipients of the HF and PC Portfolios to forward any corporate actions to SH-FOF-current upon receipt.

Individuals from the data team within UGA Product Services (each a "Data Analyst") (or their delegates) will distribute a corporate action notice and corresponding documents to the following groups promptly after receipt:

-

Investment Research PP1

-

OpDD PP1

-

Corporate Action DL ([email protected]) which includes InvOps, individuals from HF and PC Distribution (respectively), HF and PC Portfolio Management teams ("PM"), UGA-Structuring - Investment Structuring ("Investment Structuring") and Hedge Fund Risk (Ol-fof-portfolio-execution, DL- IPSC, DL-UGA-HF-PM, DL-UGA-Structuring-Inv-Structuring, DL-fof-riskcore) and Investment Structuring Documentation Analyst

UGA HF ESG contacts1 if Key Alternative Platform Master ICAV - Multi-Manager ESG Hedge Master Fund is an investor in the third-party fund

-

Other teams (e.g. Product Services, UGA Legal) as needed depending on the nature of the proxy

Anyone outside of the Data Analyst who receives a proxy/corporate action should forward to the SH-FOF-current mailbox adding, if not part of the subject line, "Proxy" for immediate processing in accordance with these Procedures.

-

In the email circulated to the Corporate Action DL, the Data Analyst should include the internal and actual deadlines and list the affected Portfolios (also highlighting if any such Portfolios are ERISA).

-

Questions regarding the corporate action should be directed to the relevant HF / PC individuals (e.g., impact on manager operations to ODD, background on corporate action to Investment Research PP1, etc.),

-

If no obvious team, then by default questions should be directed towards Investment Research PP1 given they have the closest relationship to fund managers.

The Data Analyst will add the relevant corporate action to the UGA Corporate Actions Log. The Data Analyst will track signoffs from each of the relevant groups (Investment Research, Inv Structuring, OpDD, PMs (required for corporate actions involving UBS AG or UBS Switzerland AG portfolios), other client coverage personnel for Advisory clients2 and ensure all votes are received prior to the applicable deadline.

In certain scenarios the following additional reviews / approvals are also required:

-

ERISA: If there is an ERISA client invested, Documentation Analyst (or their delegate) will send the

1 As of the date of this Appendix, Anouk Bhat, Karim Nasr.

2 The relevant list of such clients to be provided by the HF and PC verticals and relevant client coverage team members to the Data Analysts for reference.

18

corporate action notice and related documentation to UGA HF/PC Legal for review/sign-off. Note: No ERISA review needed for AGMs.

•

Investment Structuring will review corporate actions where clients serviced by S&I are invested.

•

If both Blue Portfolios / clients and other HF and/or PC Portfolios are invested, both IPPS and Investment Structuring teams will review such corporate action for their respective Portfolios.

•

For Blue Hedge Fund Delegation portfolios ("Blue HFDs") the PM for such portfolios4 may receive corporate actions directly from Global Investment Management (specifically, CIO Office Portfolio Manager covering legacy CS HFDs), in which case the PM will promptly send to the Data Analyst team at OL-FOF-Data-Mgmt-CoG for processing in accordance with this Appendix IV.

-

US Platform: members from UGA Structuring - US Platform if invested by clients serviced by the US Platform.

•

Note that such corporate actions will be reviewed and processed by US Platform members on behalf of such clients (unless otherwise delegated to Investment Structuring).

To the extent Product Services was asked to review a corporate action, PM will let Product Services know of their decision promptly so that Product Services can discontinue its review if determined no impact on guidelines.

Once Data Analyst has received all votes and ERISA sign off (or other, sign offs, as applicable), Data Analyst will let PM know. Once PM confirms the corporate action decision based on all votes, Data Analyst will convey the decision(s) to Portfolio Execution (or for Onshore China funds, the AM Shanghai ("AM SH") Investment Team and AM SH operations team) for processing with the relevant administrator(s) for the applicable Portfolios.

-

The Data Analyst will provide detail in the Portfolio Execution instruction as needed, i.e. if consenting and requires no further action OR otherwise requires us to affirmatively respond with the election form.

Data Analyst should only instruct Portfolio Execution on corporate actions upon final confirmation from PM (or, in his/her absence, his/her delegate).

-

Data Analyst will update the corporate actions log with the final decision and related date.

-

PM will memorialize each corporate action decision in monthly HF IC or PC IC (as applicable) notes for ratification.

The Data Analyst (or for Onshore China funds, the AM SH Investment Team and AM SH operations team) will then have any applicable forms signed and processed, and the Data Analyst will document and save all related details (e.g. email correspondence, documentation and final voting decisions) in Octane and in the relevant folder at the following location: X:\AIS\Groups\Investment Operations\Evidence\Corp Actions.

Matters Not Requiring Administrator Processing

There may be certain corporate actions that do not require a form or document to be sent to the administrators for processing and may instead be sent by the General Partners to members of the HF or PC Vertical and/or

4 As of the date of this Appendix, Adrian Kunz and his delegate, Fabio Granato.

19

Investment Structuring directly ("Non-Administrator Corporate Actions"), e.g. MFN election sent via email and processed by way of update to the side letter.

MFN elections or other Non-Administrator Corporate Actions that impact terms that would be reflected in the term sheets / SETS should follow the above processes for all other Corporate Actions. Otherwise, the relevant members of the Vertical and Structuring may exercise their discretion as to whether such proposed change is material and therefore should be processed by the Data Analyst in accordance with these Procedures or notification is sufficient.

Investment Structuring-Specific Responsibilities

-

Investment Structuring will review and summarize corporate actions for Portfolios within the HF and PC Verticals.

•

Note: The relevant Investment Research PP1 for the Private Credit Vertical will review and summarize matters presented for LPAC votes.

-

In certain scenarios, Investment Structuring may need to update the applicable side letter and/or term sheet and SETS (if there is one) to the extent impacted by a corporate action and/or LPAC vote.

-

Investment Structuring (Documentation Analyst) to update "Reviewed Documents" tab in Octane and archive any old documents being replaced.

-

If a corporate action contains a change that affects the CAG Share Class in Octane, Investment Structuring to update (and will ask another Investment Structuring member to approve the change) in Octane.

-

For corporate action approvals related to funds where ERISA clients are invested, upon approval from UGA Legal, Investment Structuring will update the ERISA approval status and, if applicable, changes to the ERISA structure (<25%, hard wired Master, etc.) as well as the date of ERISA approval in Octane.

•

Investment Structuring will then following the remaining procedures in the process sheet for ERISA reviews entitled "OUTSIDE/INTERAL COUNSEL REVIEW COORDINATION PROCESS - ERISA Review - New Fund ERISA Review", located here: X:\AIS\Groups\CAG\Processes and Manuals\Tax and ERISA Procedure and Contacts.

•

The initial "ERISA Invested Date" should be auto filled upon an ERISA product first investing, driven from entries in the investment share transactions. The Initial ERISA invested date will be the date an ERISA product first invests into a Fund (Fund is linked to a share class, which is then linked to a legal entity in Octane).

•

The "ERISA Approved Date" will be set to the date of ERISA Approval indicated by a HF/PC Investment Structuring user. However, the ERISA Approved Date for funds with ERISA investors invested prior to the date the functionality was made available in Octane is a default date, 01/01/2011.

•

Both the initial "ERISA Invested Date" and the "ERISA Approved Date" will be cleared and the "ERISA Approved" column will be set to "No" upon full redemption by all ERISA products, or if a fund that was previously ERISA approved has no ERISA allocations.

•

Investment Structuring may also receive a corporate action request directly, in which case they will send to Data Analyst team at OL-FOF-Data-Mgmt-CoG with sufficient detail for processing in accordance with this Appendix IV.

1.2

HF / PC Investment Portfolios

Investment level proxies / corporate actions that are received for HF and/or PC Portfolios that are dedicated feeder funds, baskets, and for any investments through a separately managed account platform ("SMA Platform") (collectively, "Investment Products") should be circulated by the Data Analyst in accordance with steps in Appendix IV - Hedge Funds and Private Credit, Section 1.1 of this Appendix IV above.

The Data Analyst should also copy:

-

For Innocap SMA Platform: UGA HF / PC Legal5

-

Portfolio Execution, Product Services (at [email protected]) and UGA HF / PC Legal

Investment Structuring for the SMA Platform and Product Services for other HF and PC Portfolios, will provide a summary of material points and/or key term changes, if any, that will help the PM team and members of HF and PC Distribution evaluate the corporate action for each of the underlying clients/mandates invested in such Investment Product(s).

-

If any change to an Investment Product's liquidity terms or investment strategy that may impact the liquidity profile of the underlying Portfolios, then Product Services will run liquidity checks (provided Portfolio Execution has coded relevant changes into Octane) in accordance with Appendix IV - Hedge Funds and Private Credit, Section 1.1 above.

-

If there is an ERISA client invested, UGA HF / PC Legal to confirm ok from an ERISA perspective.

Investment Research, Investment Structuring and OpDD sign-offs are generally not required. Such groups may provide additional feedback or comments to the extent necessary or helpful in the context of the specific proxy / corporate action.

PM will summarize each Investment Product corporate action in the monthly HF IC and/or PC IC (as applicable) notes.

2  Record Keeping

Corporation actions voted on at a shareholder meeting must be communicated to UBS AMA Compliance supporting UGA6 who will report annually on Form N-PX for UGA HF's Portfolios structured as registered investment companies.

As noted above, corporate actions for UGA HF and UGA PC will be logged into the UGA Corporate Actions Log spreadsheet.

Item 13. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

A&Q MULTI-STRATEGY FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGER DISCLOSURE

(a)(1) Edoardo Rulli (the "Portfolio Manager"), as Chair of the Unified Global Alternatives ("UGA") Investment Committee, is primarily responsible for the selection of the Fund's investments, the allocation of the Fund's assets among the underlying investment managers and the general day-to-day management of the Fund.

Mr. Rulli, who has served as the Portfolio Manager of the Fund since March 1, 2023, is the Head of Hedge Funds at UGA. UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), acting through UGA, is responsible for the day-to-day operations and management of the Fund. Mr. Rulli previously was the Chief Investment Officer and Head of UBS Hedge Fund Solutions, where he was also a member of the Hedge Fund Solutions Management and Senior Investment Forums. Prior to 2016, Mr. Rulli was a Partner and Head of Research at Falcon Money Management where he joined as partner in 2009. From 2008 to 2009, he was a Director at UBS Alternative and Quantitative Investments LLC, a predecessor of UGA. From 2004 to 2008, Mr. Rulli served as a senior analyst at Tremont Capital Management in London, a multi-billion fund of funds. He started his career as an analyst in 2001 at Rasini & C researching European and Asian hedge funds. Mr. Rulli received his bachelor's degree from Bocconi University in Milan, Italy.

The Fund's Portfolio Manager manages multiple accounts for the Adviser, including registered closed-end management investment companies and private domestic and offshore pooled investment vehicles.

Potential conflicts of interest may arise because of the Portfolio Manager's management of the Fund and other accounts. For example, conflicts of interest may arise with the allocation of investment transactions and allocation of limited investment opportunities. Allocations of investment opportunities generally could raise a potential conflict of interest to the extent that the Portfolio Manager may have an incentive to allocate investments that are expected to increase in value to preferred accounts. Conversely, the Portfolio Manager could favor one account over another in the amount or the sequence in which orders to redeem investments are placed. The Portfolio Manager may be perceived to have a conflict of interest if there are a large number of other accounts, in addition to the Fund, that he is managing on behalf of the Adviser. In addition, the Portfolio Manager could be viewed as having a conflict of interest to the extent that he has an investment in accounts other than the Fund. A potential conflict of interest may be perceived if the Adviser receives a performance-based advisory fee as to one account but not another, because the Portfolio Manager may favor the account subject to the performance fee, whether or not the performance of that account directly determines the Portfolio Manager's compensation. The Adviser periodically reviews the Portfolio Manager's overall responsibilities to ensure that he is able to allocate the necessary time and resources to effectively manage the Fund.

Other accounts may have investment objectives, strategies and risks that differ from those of the Fund. For these or other reasons, the Portfolio Manager may purchase different investments for the Fund and the other accounts, and the performance of investments purchased for the Fund may vary from the performance of the investments purchased for other accounts. The Portfolio Manager may place transactions on behalf of other

accounts that are directly or indirectly contrary to investment decisions made for the Fund, which could have the potential to adversely impact the Fund, depending on market conditions.

The Adviser's goal is to provide high quality investment services to all of its clients, while meeting its fiduciary obligation to treat all clients fairly. The Adviser has adopted and implemented policies and procedures, including brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures, that it believes address the conflicts associated with managing multiple accounts for multiple clients. In addition, the Adviser monitors a variety of areas, including compliance with Fund guidelines. Furthermore, senior investment and business personnel at the Adviser periodically review the performance of the Portfolio Manager.

The Portfolio Manager's compensation is comprised primarily of a fixed salary and a discretionary bonus paid by the Adviser or its affiliates and not by the Fund. A portion of the discretionary bonus may be paid in shares of funds managed by the Adviser or in shares of stock or stock options of UBS Group AG ("UBS"), the parent company of the Adviser, subject to certain vesting periods. The amount of the Portfolio Manager's discretionary bonus, and the portion to be paid in shares of funds managed by the Adviser or in shares of stock or stock options of UBS, is determined by senior officers of the Adviser. In general, the amount of the bonus will be based on a combination of factors, none of which is necessarily weighted more than any other factor. These factors may include: the overall performance of the Adviser; the overall performance of UBS; the profitability to the Adviser derived from the management of the Fund and the other accounts managed by the Adviser; the absolute performance of the Fund and such other accounts for the preceding year; contributions by the Portfolio Manager to assisting in managing the Adviser; participation by the Portfolio Manager in training of personnel; and support by the Portfolio Manager generally to colleagues. The bonus is not based on a precise formula, benchmark or other metric.
