Accelerate Private Equity Alpha Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation and to replicate the returns of private equity funds over the long term by investing primarily in listed equity securities that are expected to outperform the U.S. equity market, while entering into short positions in respect of listed equity securities in this market. ALFA uses derivatives to gain exposure to its short portfolio and borrows cash to increase its long equities portfolio. The amount of all cash borrowed to finance the purchase of equity securities and the aggregate notional amount of derivatives used for non-hedging purposes will not exceed the limits permitted under applicable securities legislation.
