Performance across most asset classes was relatively muted, with modest gains
overall coming, for the most part, from FX trading and, to a lesser extent,
commodities trading, whilst interest rate trading incurred losses. Gains in FX
trading came primarily from directional trading and option structures long the
euro currency against the US dollar, and to a lesser degree from short
positions in GBP. Gains from short NZD exposure were offset by losses from long
CAD. Interest rate trading losses were driven by directional and curve
positioning in US rates as well as small losses from tactical relative value
positions in US and European asset swaps. Small commodity trading gains mostly
came from positions around a long gold theme.
The performance review and attributions are derived from data calculated by
BHCM, based on total performance data for each period provided by the Fund's

Market Review
and Outlook US
Real GDP growth in the second quarter was revised up to 3% at an annualised
rate, paced by solid household spending and business investment. Indicators
early in the current quarter suggest the momentum was maintained. However,
Hurricane Harvey appears likely to subtract from growth in the third, and
perhaps, fourth quarters. Early estimates of the potential economic impact are
inevitably uncertain. Based on similar events like Hurricanes Katrina and
Sandy, the subtraction may be as much as a few tenths of GDP. Over a longer
period, rebuilding will add to GDP. The labour market posted a smaller gain in
payroll employment in August than seen in recent months and there was an uptick
in the unemployment rate to 4.4%. With the workweek also moving down and
continued mediocre gains in wages, the overall tone of the latest data pointed
to further absorption of slack, but nothing to generate inflationary
bottlenecks. If history is a guide, Hurricane Harvey will lead to higher
initial claims for unemployment insurance and perhaps a slowdown in hiring for
a month or two, before rebounding back to trend.
Inflation was subdued in August, with both overall prices and core prices
(excluding food and energy) rising 1.4% over the last year. Core inflation has
been held down by a series of idiosyncratic developments such as lower
quality-adjusted prices for wireless service plans earlier in the year, to
sharply lower airfares in the latest month. In the absence of any significant
offsetting upside surprises, inflation has drifted further from the Federal
Reserve's 2% target. Assuming no more downside surprises, inflation should
gradually rise because of further tightening in the labour market, a decline in
the exchange value of the US dollar, and stable inflation expectations.
The Federal Reserve voted unanimously in September to begin gradually
normalising its balance sheet. Meanwhile, lawmakers are looking to fund the
Government and raise the debt ceiling. After dealing with those must pass
pieces of legislation, Congress will begin work on a plan to cut household and
business taxes. Given the slow progress to date, it seems unlikely that
significant new legislation will be passed this year.
UK
Although economic activity in the UK has remained relatively soft, the labour
market has continued to improve; GDP grew by 0.3% q/q in Q2, a relatively slow
pace of growth after only having grown 0.2% q/q in Q1. Retail sales bounced
back in Q2 (+1.5% q/q), but wholesale trade and car sales were still on the
soft-side. Moreover, construction and industrial production together detracted
from growth by 0.1ppts, reversing the positive contribution in the previous
quarter. House prices continued to slow in y/y terms on the Halifax and
Rightmove metrics while the composite Purchasing Managers' Index ("PMI") fell
by 0.1pts to 54.0 in August, suggesting that the current pace of growth should
be consistent with recent trends, at or slightly below, potential growth.
However, it is worth noting that the small move in the composite PMI consisted
of a 2.6pt climb in the manufacturing PMI, now sitting close to recent highs,
which was offset by the services PMI.
In general, the depreciation in sterling compared to its level 18 months ago
should support growth. However, the uncertainty around Brexit may limit
sterling's influence on growth, especially if companies boost margins rather
than production. Hence, the weakness of the currency may not prove as
stimulative as previous instances of sterling depreciation.
Meanwhile, employment has continued to grow at a moderate pace of 1.1% y/y as
of June. This has been enough for the unemployment rate to continue its
downtrend, reaching 4.4% in June, the lowest rate since 1975. Inflation rose
0.3ppts to 2.9% y/y in August. Consumer inflation has been trending upwards
since the referendum vote on the membership of the European Union, on account
of the lower exchange rate. Indicators of domestically generated inflation
remain relatively modest; wage inflation rose 0.2ppts to 2.1% 3m/12m in June,
remaining well below levels that would be consistent with keeping inflation at
the target of 2% in the medium term. The weakness in wages has occurred despite
record low levels of the unemployment rate. However, there are some signs that
there may be a pick-up in wages over the horizon; both the Recruitment and
Employment Confederation's JobsOutlook survey and the Bank of England's labour
market tightness survey suggest some potential for higher wage growth. The mix
of high consumer inflation and modest wage inflation has led to a deterioration
in real wages, which has weighed down consumption in the first half of 2017. As
wages strengthen, and the influence of the exchange rate on consumer prices
wanes, real wages should eventually recover in the second half of the year.
The dichotomy between a tighter labour market and only modest economic activity
has led to diverging views within the Bank of England's Monetary Policy
Committee ("MPC"). At the August MPC meeting, six members thought that the
current policy stance remained appropriate, whilst two members thought that the
trade-off between high inflation in the medium term and downside risks to
economic activity had diminished, and thus voted for a 25 basis point ("bp")
increase in the policy rate. Compared to the previous meeting there was one
fewer dissenter but this was because Kristin Forbes had ended her term and was
replaced by Silvana Tenreyro, who voted with the majority. At the most recent
meeting the committee also voted unanimously to allow the Term Funding Scheme
(a tool within the asset purchase facility used to support bank lending) to
expire as was planned. Furthermore, the meeting statement concluded that "if
the economy follows a path broadly consistent with the August central
projection, then monetary policy could need to be tightened by a somewhat
greater extent over the forecast period than the path implied by the yield
curve underlying the August projections." At the time, the market was pricing
a 50bp increase in the policy rate over three years. At the next MPC meeting in
September, the committee will return to nine voting members, as was the norm
prior to May. Sir David Ramsden was recently appointed as Deputy Governor for
Markets and Banking and has become an active member of the committee.
EMU
The first actual indications on EMU activity in Q3 came on the soft side. In
July, industrial production was about flat m/m, while exports, retail sales,
and car registrations contracted modestly. However, the first available
indications suggest a better outturn in August. Car registrations in major
countries bounced back, while the composite PMI stabilised, after having fallen
for two months in a row, at levels which suggest a rebound of activity
especially in manufacturing. Still, the pace of the expansion in the common
areas seems to have subsided somewhat from the relatively ebullient levels of
the first part of the year. On the inflation front, the growth rate of the
Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices ("HICP") rose from 1.3% to 1.5% y/y, a
touch above consensus forecasts, although the increase was only due to energy
prices, since core inflation stood at 1.2% y/y.
Compared to a couple of months ago, prospects for both growth and inflation in
the eurozone look somewhat more uncertain. The phase of expansion of both
global demand, especially due to the strength of the Chinese economy, and
domestic demand, is poised to find an increasingly powerful offset, in the
rapid rise of the euro, which has risen more than 7% in effective terms since
the beginning of the year. The Governing Council of the European Central Bank
("ECB") made an explicit reference to this concern in the introductory
statement to the September policy meeting. This was accompanied by a cut to the
central bank inflation forecast, by 0.1 pts for 2018 and 0.2 pts for the core
inflation forecast for 2019. The ECB inflation forecast for the, policy
relevant, two-year horizon now stands at a mere 1.5%, thus departing from,
rather than converging with, the ECB definition of price stability relative to
six months ago. In an overall dovish press conference, President Draghi
suggested that in all likelihood the central bank will provide indications at
its October meeting on the calibration of monetary policy beyond the expiration
of the current quantitative easing ("QE") program at the end of 2017. The speed
of the ECB's 'exit' from the prolonged phase of unconventional policy will
depend crucially on the inflation outlook and the degree of tightening of
financial conditions, which is in turn closely linked to the strength of the
euro.
China
Activity data was mixed in August. The official PMI was stronger at 51.7 versus
51.4 for July, and the Caixin PMI also improved from 51.1 for July to 51.6 for
August. Fixed Asset Investment growth was recorded at 7.8% for August, slightly
lower than the 8.2% expected. Industrial Production growth was softer at 6.0%
for August. Retail sales softened again and printed 10.1% y/y for August.
Inflation rose to 1.8% from 1.4% in July. Producer prices were also higher than
the prior month printing 6.3%. On the external side, export data worsened to
5.5% y/y for August and imports rose in August to 13.3% y/y, up from 11.0%. The
seven day repo rate on average was 2.99% for August compared to 3.25% for July.
Japan
Japanese economic activity continues to grow at a solid pace. Q2 GDP was
revised down, but the 2.5% annualised rate is still well above potential
growth. Consumption and investment were solid, while a decline in real exports
held down the overall gain. Industrial production continues to move up and
down, but smoothing through the high-frequency volatility shows a solid overall
pace. The Shoko-Chukin survey of small and medium sized enterprises rose to
50.6 in September, its highest level for a while. The Economy Watchers
diffusion index was unchanged in August, just below the 50 par line. Even so,
while there were a couple of better months in late 2016, the level of the
diffusion index is still quite good by the standards of the last few years.
Above trend growth is reflected in the unemployment rate; although unchanged on
balance for most of 2017, earlier declines put it on a multi-year downward
trend, the 2.8% rate in July is the lowest rate since 1995.
Output rising above potential has given some analysts further confidence that
Japanese inflation will move up towards the Bank of Japan's ("BoJ") long-term
goal of 2%. However, other data does not point towards the same conclusion.
The, so-called, western core rate (all items excluding food and energy) was
flat in July and unchanged over the last twelve months. Tokyo prices rose in
August, but the increase only puts the Tokyo western core index to flat over
the last twelve months. There will need to be additional increases to suggest
that inflation is positive. Consumer inflation expectations are a little higher
than the first quarter of the year but after rising in April have gone nowhere
since.

you may therefore lose some or all of any amount that you choose to invest.
This material is not intended to constitute, and should not be construed as,
investment advice. All investments are subject to risk. You are advised to seek
expert legal, financial, tax and other professional advice before making any
investment decisions.
THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP. YOU MAY NOT GET BACK THE
AMOUNT ORIGINALLY INVESTED AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT. PAST
PERFORMANCE IS NOT A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF FUTURE RESULTS.
Risk Factors
Acquiring shares in BHM may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing
all of the amount invested. Any person who is in any doubt about investing in
BHM (and therefore gaining exposure to the Fund) should consult an authorised
person specialising in advising on such investments. Any person acquiring
shares in BHM must be able to bear the risks involved. These include the
following:
* The Fund is speculative and involves substantial risk.
* The Fund will be leveraged and will engage in speculative investment
practices that may increase the risk of investment loss. The Fund may invest in
illiquid securities.
* Past results of the Fund's investment managers are not necessarily indicative
of future performance of the Fund, and the Fund's performance may be volatile.
* An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment.
* The Fund's investment managers have total investment and trading authority
over the Fund, and the Fund is dependent upon the services of the investment
managers.
* Investments in the Fund are subject to restrictions on withdrawal or
redemption and should be considered illiquid. There is no secondary market for
investors' interests in the Fund and none is expected to develop.
* The investment managers' incentive compensation, fees and expenses may offset
the Fund's trading and investment profits.
* The Fund is not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information
to investors with respect to individual investments.
* The Fund is not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds.
* A portion of the trades executed for the Fund may take place on foreign
markets.
* The Fund and its investment managers 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.
* The Fund may make investments in securities of issuers in emerging markets.
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 BHM or the Fund and therefore
reference should be made to publicly available documents and information.
