Eagles View Capital Management LLC May 2014 Performance
Update
June 12. 2014
Delivering upon expectations
Dear Partners/Friends,
Eagle's View Capital Partners, L.P. is estimated at +0.86% for May with YTD 2014
estimated at +6.52% net of all fees and expenses.
Eagle's View Offshore Fund, Ltd. Class G is estimated at +0.50% for May with YTD
2014 performance estimated at +5.93% net of all fees and expenses.
Eagle's View Offshore Fund, Ltd. Class B ("High Alpha") is estimated at +2.73% for
May with YTD (April - May '14) estimated at +1.32% net of all fees and expenses. May
was the second month of live performance for this Share Class which seeks to generate
more substantial returns through a concentrated portfolio of some of our historically
higher return opportunities.
We informed investors within Eagle's View Capital Partners, L.P. toward mid-2013 that
we were planning to make a
concerted effort to enhance the return profile of the Fund. We felt that we had always
delivered a very favorable risk/adjusted return profile, with low volatility and a high
Sharpe Ratio. However, we have a desire to enhance the returns such that there should
be an expectation of double digit returns even during these lower volatility
environments. On Sept. I, 2013, we initiated a liquidity facility in an effort to enhance
our returns and better manage the liquidity of our Fund. I'm pleased to report that since
Sept., 2013, Eagle's View Capital Partners, L.P. has generated returns of approximately
+9.12% during the 9-month period from Sept, 2013 through May 31, 2014.
Furthermore, we managed to reduce our annualized volatility down to 2.70% and
increase our Sharpe Ratio to 2.79 for the Fund since its inception.
In addition, we've articulated the fact that we believe Eagle's View would provide a truly
uncorrelated source of alpha relative to both mainstream markets, as well as other
alternative investment products. In January 2014, the US equity market was -3.56%
EFTA00665518
while Eagle's View Capital Partners, L.P. was +1.96% net for the month helping us to
provide yet another data point assisting in our thesis that our return stream is
uncorrelated to equity market performance. March and April were negative months for
the hedge fund industry as a whole due to momentum trade unwinds, however, Eagle's
View Capital Partners, L.P. was +0.32% and +0.67% net of all fees and expenses
respectively. This provided a couple of additional data points helping to further our
thesis regarding our lack of correlation to the broader hedge fund community. To be
sure, Eagle's View has exhibited a general lack of correlation to equities since its
inception with a beta of .12 as well as a lack of correlation to the overall hedge fund
industry. We choose to highlight 2014 YTD because it is top of mind and has provided a
good mix of interesting months for our industry and for the
broader markets.
Finally, the financial press has been calling more and more attention, as US Equities
reach new all-time highs, to the fact that the most widely followed volatility benchmark,
the VIX index, is trading at just over 10% or at least 50% lower than levels seen
historically on average. Given the arbitrage nature of the majority of our strategies, one
would think we are, however, highly correlated to volatility in global capital markets.
While we do believe that our Fund should do better during more volatile environments
(due to more robust structural inefficiencies to capitalize upon), Eagle's View has
demonstrated that we are not as highly correlated to volatility levels as might be
expected.
Importantly, we believe we've done a decent job of articulating to our investor base what
they should expect from our various Eagle's View products. Although nobody can
predict outcomes with complete clarity or certainty, we believe we've done a good job
thus far of "walking the walk" in addition to "talking the talk".
Eagle's View is in the business of seeking to capitalize upon market inefficiencies and
make positive expectancy investments. It is our view that structural and general market
inefficiencies tend to be more pronounced during more normalized and higher volatility
regimes.
We do very little thinking about the overall direction or macro view of markets. We do
not seek to invest with Managers who attempt to predict the course of the global macro-
economic landscape as we do not believe anyone has an advantage in doing so. We
simply do not attempt what we feel is a losing battle.
We are accepting new clients within our Fund of Funds products as well as within our
Advisory business. Please contact me with further interest in our products/services.

independently investigate or confirm the accuracy or adequacy of such information, but we have
no reason to believe that such information was not accurate and adequate, to the best of our
knowledge, when given. The index comparisons herein are provided for informational purposes
only and should not be used as the basis for making an investment decision. There are
significant differences between client accounts and the indices referenced including, but not
limited to, risk profile, liquidity, volatility and asset composition. Funds included in the HFRI
Monthly Indices must report monthly returns; report net of all fees returns; report assets in US
Dollars, and have at least $50 million under management or have been actively trading for at
least twelve (12) months. Fund of Funds invest with multiple managers through funds or
managed accounts. The strategy designs a diversified portfolio of managers with the objective of
significantly lowering the risk (volatility) of investing with an individual manager. The Fund of
Funds manager has discretion in choosing which strategies to invest in for the portfolio. A
manager may allocate funds to numerous managers within a single strategy, or with numerous
managers in multiple strategies. The minimum investment in a Fund of Funds may be lower than
an investment in an individual hedge fund or managed account. The investor has the advantage
of diversification among managers and styles with significantly less capital than investing with
separate managers. PLEASE NOTE: The HFRI Fund of Funds Index is not included in the HFRI
Fund Weighted Composite Index. It is important to note that investing in hedge funds involves
risks. Please request and read the Private Placement Memorandum for a complete description
of the risks of hedge fund investing. Hedge fund investing may involve, in addition to others, the
following risks: the vehicles often engage in leveraging and other speculative investments which
may increase the risk of investment loss; they can be highly illiquid; hedge funds are not
required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors; they may involve
complex tax structures and thus delays in distributing important tax information may occur;
hedge funds are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds and they
often charge high fees. Opinions contained in this Newsletter reflect the judgment as of the day
and time of the publication and are subject to change without notice. Eagle's View Capital
Management, LLC provides investment advisory services to clients other than the Funds, and
results between clients may differ materially. Eagle's View Capital Management, LLC believes
that such differences are attributable to different investment objectives and strategies between
clients. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. If you are not the intended
