8. Performance. Past performance is no indication of future performance, and nothing on this Web site should be interpreted to state or imply otherwise.

An investment in the funds managed by DANE CAPITAL is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. DANE CAPITAL Fund will employ certain trading techniques, such as short selling and the use of leverage, which may increase the risk of investment loss. As a result, performance may be volatile, and an investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Further, the funds managed by DANE CAPITAL have substantial limitations on an investor's ability to redeem or transfer their shares, and there is no secondary market for an interest in the funds and none is expected to develop. Finally, the funds' fees and expenses may offset trading profits. These risks and other important risks are described in detail in a Confidential Private Offering Memorandum available for the fund. Prospective investors are strongly urged to review the relevant Confidential Private Offering Memorandum carefully, and consult with their own financial, legal and tax advisors before making an investment in the funds.
Certain of the performance information presented is estimated, unaudited and is subject to adjustment.
