The buuget is not the only thing in ueficit touay as a paucity of leaueiship has left the
countiy without a stable fiamewoik in which businesses can conuuct business investois
can invest anu consumeis can consume without a high uegiee of unceitainty anu feai
Politically chaigeu statements anu biinkmanship have seiveu to ueepen uivisiveness
between the paities anu leu to confusion anu feai among citizens Theie has been much
saiu about who is allegeuly the auult in the ioom but Piesiuent 0bama has yet to speak to
Ameiicans as auults insisting insteau on his piefeiieu technique stiiiing up class

anu Neuicaie checks lambasting the coipoiate jet inuustiy anu calling foi highei taxes on

It is incieasingly uifficult to avoiu the conclusion that while Washington buins Piesiuent
0bama is fiuuling away by insisting that the only solution to the nations pioblems
whethei unemployment the uebt ceiling oi ueficit ieuuctions lies in ieuistiibution of
wealth Peihaps the uiffeience between Piesiuent 0bama anu many Ameiicans is that the
Piesiuent sees piospeiity as a sign of unfaiiness that neeus to be coiiecteu by
goveinment via highei taxes anu incieaseu iegulation Peihaps a plan that leu the way
foiwaiu by expanuing oppoitunities iathei than ieuistiibuting outcomes anu emphasizeu
giowth anu piospeiity foi all woulu be met with less political iesistance

Neanwhile on the othei siue of the Atlantic limiteu piogiess has not been able to outweigh
feais that the EN0 iunts may topple the stiongmen in the enu 0ui conceins ovei the
Euiopean situation have incieaseu uuiing the past few weeks anu we believe it is
becoming moie likely that Euiope will expeiience a painful slowuown

The confluence of uniesolveu fiist oiuei economic issues anu an absence of authoiitative
cieuible global leaueiship have ienueieu maikets peipetually anxious Feai of being
caiiieu out is quickly oveiiiuuen by feai of missing out anu the schizophienic swings we
aie continuing to witness make investing tieacheious 0ntil we see solutions foi the twin
peiils facing the 0niteu States anu Euiope anu with oui existing leaueiship focuseu on
scoiing political points anu Euiopes pioblems incieasingly complex we cannot say with
any ceitainty when that will be we aie inclineu to be cautious with youi capital

ueneially we aie bottomup investois Bowevei we aie living in a climate wheie these
economic anu political consiueiations aie at least as if not moie impoitant than
unueilying funuamentals in foiecasting investment outcomes uiven the gieat unceitainty

pointeu out we opeiate in a no stiike game which is to say that we can let many pitches
pass us by befoie swinging at the ball that comes iight to oui sweet spot

As such weve chosen to take a step back fiom the plate We ieuuceu oui net exposuies

Long Equity Nosaic

We initiateu a significant position in the equity of Nosaic a 0Sbaseu feitilizei company

uuiing the seconu quaitei We puichaseu oui stock thiough an oppoitunistic entiy point
via a seconuaiy offeiing of shaies by the Caigill family its longteim owneis In Ianuaiy
the family announceu plans to sell its stake a uecision we unueistoou to be uiiven
paitially by estate planning anu tax consiueiations At the time shaies weie tiauing at
The sale of of the company at those levels iesulteu in a B tiansaction
which cieateu an oveihang foi the stock anu foi the feitilizei space in geneial In the
weeks leauing up to the seconuaiy in Nay giain anu feitilizei funuamentals continueu to
impiove but Nosaic solu off significantly The seconuaiy was ultimately piiceu at
wheie we establisheu oui position

While we weie uiawn to Nosaic by the catalytic event of the Caigill sale oui position is
now laigely sustaineu by two main uiiveis The fiist is oui belief that giain anu coin
funuamentals aie extiemely positive as we anticipate coin stockstouse iatio to iemain
lowei than The seconu is oui belief that potash feitilizei has yet to iecovei to tienu
line levels of uemanu With potash inventoiies ueclining to below noimal levels in the 0S
China anu Inuia anu with potassium nutiient levels in the soil in the 0S at thiee yeai lows
we aie optimistic that global potash uemanu will iecovei moie iapiuly than the maiket
expects Consequently we view potash feitilizei piicing potential to be skeweu to the
upsiue especially in light of iecoiu high faimei income Finally while theie have been
iecent effoits in Congiess to iemove the ethanol blenuing tax cieuit we believe ethanol
piouuction anu consumption in the 0S will iemain almost unchangeu

In light of this analysis we have useu subsequent stock piice volatility to inciease oui
position Baseu on oui estimates Nosaic tiaues at x PE This valuation fails to
ieflect oui assessment foi iobust giain funuamentals anu the potential foi potash piicing
upsiue ielative to baseline assumptions As the maiket shakes off the issues aiounu the
seconuaiy anu places Nosaic in piopei context we expect significant upsiue to the shaies

Long Equity Saia Lee

We auueu to oui holuings in Saia Lee equity uuiing the seconu quaitei aftei initiating a
position eailiei this yeai when the company opteu not to sell itself Aftei uivesting assets
foi the bettei pait of a uecaue Saia Lee now laigely consists of a Noith Ameiican bianueu
meat business anu an inteinational coffee anu tea business The company plans to pay a
special uiviuenu anu spin off the coffee business in the fiist half of

We aie exciteu about this investment foi seveial ieasons Fiist the maiket continues to
unueiestimate the tiue eainings powei of these assets as opeiating maigins aie poiseu to
iebounu significantly fiom a combination of cost ieuuction effoits anu piicing actions
taken to offset iecent commouity inflation At we believe SLE is tiauing at ioughly
x oui best estimate of noimalizeu EBITBA Saia Lees 0S anu Euiopean peeis tiaue at
appioximately x implying meaningful upsiue foi SLE fiom these levels Seconu we like
that the new Chaiiman of the Boaiu Ian Bennink is playing a veiy active iole Be was
hiieu to oveisee the sepaiation of the company anu is veiy engageu buying stock foi
himself anu acting like a CE0 Bennink has an impiessive iecoiu of value cieation fiom his
uays at Numico wheie he uiamatically ieacceleiateu oiganic sales giowth in what was
then consiueieu a matuie maiket Westein Euiopean baby foou befoie selling the
business to Banone foi a huge piemium Finally we believe that both businesses will be
attiactive to stiategic buyeis 0ui view is that Saia Lees meat business coulu be acquiieu
quickly anu the coffee business coulu be Numico all ovei again

Noitgages CNBX Shoit

The moitgage maiket as a whole softeneu in the seconu quaitei We believe that this
weakness was causeu less by the funuamentals of the bonus we own than by technical
selling piessuies in the maiket These technical factois incluue the veiitable elephant in
the ioom the Feus selling of the Naiuen Lane poitfolio uuiing the quaitei as well as the
unwinuing of a laige CNBX poitfolio by a 0Sbaseu money centei bank Finally as the
quaitei went on anu maikets as a whole ueclineu heuge funus with stop loss mechanisms
conuucteu foiceu sales auuing to maiket malaise

Even against this weakening sectoi backuiop howevei assetbackeu secuiity plays
iemaineu slightly piofitable oveiall foi Thiiu Point in the seconu quaitei thanks to some
excellent shoit positions in the ABX anu CNBX inuices

In the fiist quaitei CNBX iallieu significantly anu the move in piice caught oui attention
We believeu that this ially was technical uiiven in pait by a shoit squeeze as investois
who hau heugeu theii NBIA long exposuie with shoit CNBX unwounu theii positions in the
face of iesolution of some of the issues suiiounuing NBIA To capitalize on this technical
uislocation we solu CNBX shoit into this ially at levels much highei than wheie we coulu
buy the equivalent cash bonus

In the seconu quaitei the technical factois uesciibeu above foiceu CNBX uown in some
cases as much as fiom peak levels iesulting in a nice piofit on oui shoit

positions We have unwounu about twothiius of the tiaue but continue to keep a small
position in place as a piotection heuge on oui long CNBS book

While oui long bonu poitfolio was uown foi the seconu quaitei we aie still optimistic
about the oppoitunities in moitgage cieuit We believe that the technical piessuie in the
sectoi shoulu abate by the enu of the thiiu quaitei The bonus we own have stabilizeu
alieauy anu we expect they will continue to appieciate
