 Review for       by DWIM. 
 the Fund 
                  The NAV per share of BHCC USD Shares depreciated by 0.72% 
                  (net of fees and expenses) in October. The largest losses 
                  came from performing corporate long/short strategies in 
                  October. Losses also came from mortgage- and asset-backed 
                  strategies, where gains on long positions were slightly 
                  smaller than losses on hedges. Distressed positions were 
                  down slightly on the month, while corporate structured positions 
                  contributed positive returns. 
                  October was an extremely challenging month across financial 
                  markets, as oil and other commodity prices accelerated their 
                  decline (which started in July) and concern increased regarding 
                  global growth, especially in China and Europe. 
                  It was also decidedly a month of two halves - the first 
                  half of October was extremely challenging and difficult 
                  for financial markets broadly. The final days of September 
                  were full of concern regarding the implications of Bill 
                  Gross's late month resignation from PIMCO. Sentiment among 
                  market participants was further weakened when, after market 
                  close on September 30th, a suit filed by shareholders of 
                  Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was dismissed from US District 
                  Court. While the Fannie/Freddie suit was idiosyncratic in 
                  nature, shares of the companies were widely held by active 
                  market participants, and prices on the shares fell precipitously 
                  - as much as 50% - on the news that the lawsuit was dismissed. 
                  These losses for some players, combined with the concerns 
                  about global growth, produced a strong "risk-off" sentiment 
                  in the first half of October, which was further strengthened 
                  by the collapse of the AbbVie - Shire merger mid-month. 
                  Many of the Fund's strategies lost money for the month. 
                  However, there were gains in the corporate structured credit 
                  strategy and the residential mortgage-backed securities 
                  strategy. Gains from residential mortgage positions reflected 
                  various sources, including put-back related investments. 
                  In corporate structured credit, the Fund's bespoke synthetic 
                  CDO equity positions recovered losses from September. 
                  Losses for the month were greatest in the performing corporate 
                  long/short strategy, where many positions suffered more 
                  from risk reduction than from changes to either the fundamental 
                  outlook for the companies or the catalysts, which together 
                  form the basis for the Fund's investment. October followed 
                  a difficult third quarter for performing corporate long/short 
                  positions, but in contrast to August and September, there 
                  were no individual positions whose contribution dominated 
                  either losses or gains for the month. Losses were diversified 
                  by sector, across a variety of industries including consumer 
                  discretionary, oil and gas longs, media and technology. 
                  Gains were similarly diverse, with winners in homebuilders, 
                  oil and gas shorts, technology and retail. No individual 
                  position contributed more than approximately 10bp positively 
                  or negatively during the month, but losers outnumbered winners, 
                  leading to overall losses for the month. 
                  As part of our risk aware approach to investing, we reacted 
                  to October's volatility by concentrating risk in our highest 
                  conviction ideas while decreasing exposures across the portfolio 
                  as a whole, and to some individual positions - particularly 
                  those where catalysts were further out on the horizon. 
Investment       The information in this section has been provided to BHCC 
 Manager's        by DWIM. 
 Market Review 
 and Outlook      October began under the shadow of macroeconomic concerns 
                  including oil and commodity price weakness and broad concerns 
                  about global growth (particularly outside the US, in Europe 
                  and China), as well as idiosyncratic factors particular 
                  to some hedge funds. These factors resulted in a "risk-off" 
                  sentiment dominating the first half of the month. That sentiment 
                  reached its crescendo on October 15th when the 10yr US Treasury 
                  crossed below the 2% yield level intraday and the AbbVie 
                  - Shire merger was first reported to be in danger of collapse. 
                  Mid-month the S&P 500 had fallen almost 6% (to 1,863) and 
                  high yield CDX index spreads had widened to 400bp from its 
                  starting level of 356bp. 
                  During the final two weeks of the month, however, risk assets 
                  repriced upward. Despite the significant early declines, 
                  the S&P 500 ended the month over 2% higher (2,018 versus 
                  1,946). Similarly, high yield credit spreads ended the month 
                  tighter - closing on October 31st at L+343bp, compared to 
                  L+355bp at the start of the month. Oil, however, did not 
                  recover, and ended October at monthly lows of $80/barrel. 
                  Central banks were active into month end, with the US Fed 
                  officially ending the bond buying portion of its most recent 
                  quantitative easing programme, while just days later the 
                  Bank of Japan announced a ratchet up of its own quantitative 
                  easing programmes. 
                  In corporate credit markets, mutual fund flows were supportive 
                  of investment grade and high yield credit during October. 
                  Investment grade saw positive flows each week in October. 
                  High yield was more mixed, starting the month with outflows, 
                  but seeing positive flows thereafter. While new issue markets 
                  were essentially closed during the difficult two weeks in 
                  the middle of the month, they restarted by month end. 
                  While macro volatility dominated many asset classes over 
                  the month, MBS/ABS held up well. Demand remains strong in 
                  the sector, as demonstrated at the end of October, when 
                  one of the largest legacy, non-agency, residential, mortgage-backed 
                  portfolios to come to market in 2014 traded without any 
                  notable price pressure. 
                  In the commercial real estate space, new issue CMBS spreads 
                  widened early in the month, although very little volume 
                  traded at the lower price levels. As equity and credit markets 
                  rallied into month end, broad CMBS recovered to end October 
                  largely unchanged in terms of prices.

-- The Fund and its investment manager are subject to conflicts of interest.

-- The Fund is dependent on the services of certain key personnel, and, were certain or all of them to become unavailable, the Fund may prematurely terminate.

-- The Fund's managers will receive performance-based compensation. Such compensation may give such managers an incentive to make riskier investments than they otherwise would.

Investment in emerging markets involve particular risks, such as less strict market regulation, increased likelihood of severe inflation, unstable currencies, war, expropriation of property, limitations on foreign investments, increased market volatility, less favourable or unstable tax provisions, illiquid markets and social and political upheaval.

The above summary risk factors do not purport to be a complete description of the relevant risks of an investment in shares of BHCC or the Fund and therefore reference should be made to publicly available documents and information.
