I’m not rejecting the idea – just fielding
questions. I’m more than happy to figure out how to do it.

Rosemont capital partners and its affiliates meet all of
these requirements- save Registration under 40 Act which we just go ahead and
do. Also Rosemont is a QUID (?) and as for liability- thats the cost of
doing business. Point 2 can be satisfied if new entity as affiliate of
Rosemont can be counted for the 85. Point 3- we have the $1mm and
liability issued i addressed above. Tell me why we cant do this fairly
easily. And tell me why we arent looking for ways to do this rather than
just rejecting it out of hand.

Marc,
We have no registered entity nor do I think we have an appetite to
unconditionally guarantees payment of all of the adviser's liabilities. Thanks

Arlene:
Here is th
e short version of the QPAM story:
An investment manager who wishes to qualify as a QPAM must:
1) be federally registered as an
investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940; and
2) have total client assets under its
management and control in excess
of $85 million as of the last day of the QPAM's most recent fiscal year; and
3) have shareholders' or partners'
equity in excess of $1 million (or
have an affiliate that satisfies this net worth requirement and
unconditionally guarantees payment of all of the adviser's liabilities) as
determined by the QPAM's most recent balance sheet provided it is no more
than two years old and was prepared in accordance with GAAP
I don't see how a new Rosemont entity would qualify; is there an existing
Rosemont entity that is an RIA and could serve as the QPAM for the FoF?

Can you give me a call (312-498-9595) at your convenience.
