                 priced using either (i) quoted prices that are identical or similar in
                 markets that are not active or (ii) model-derived valuations for which all
                 significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly in active
                 markets.

                 Level 3: This represents the level of assets in the portfolio which are
                 priced or valued using inputs that are both significant to the fair value

Review for the
Fund

                 The NAV per share of BHCC USD Shares appreciated by 0.58% (net of fees and
                 expenses) in July. Company specific investments as a whole detracted from
                 returns on the month, but these losses were more than offset by gains in the
                 Fund's collateralised positions.

                 In July, price declines across equity and credit markets made for a difficult
                 backdrop for many of the Fund's company specific investments. In many ways,
                 July felt like a reversal of June: distressed and corporate structured
                 holdings posted small losses, while the performing long/short strategy saw
                 low level declines across a number of positions and was the largest detractor
                 by strategy for the month. In particular, those positions structured with a
                 long credit leg and a short equity leg posted mark-to-market losses as
                 credit, particularly HY, underperformed equity markets in July. The largest
                 detractor in the corporate strategy was the Fund's position in US homebuilder
                 Beazer Homes. The Fund had gains in Beazer last year, but has lost money so
                 far this year, as Beazer, along with other homebuilders have lost sales due
                 to particularly bad weather in the first quarter of 2014. In July, Beazer
                 announced operating results that disappointed the market in key areas such as
                 balance sheet efficiency and the pace at which the company has opened newly
                 developed communities. While we were disappointed with Beazer's second
                 quarter reported results, we retain our conviction in the prospects for
                 progress at the company going forward.

                 The Fund's mortgage- and asset-backed positions bucked the broader July trend
                 of price declines in risk assets. Although broad-based indices of higher
                 dollar price MBS/ABS fell in July in line with the broader markets, the more
                 credit sensitive, special situation positions that the Fund holds in the
                 residential and commercial mortgages were more resilient. Hedges also
                 contributed to the Fund's performance across collateralised strategies.

                 In terms of market news, as broadly expected, Trustees of MBS where JP Morgan
                 had proposed settling "put back" litigation received expert opinions
                 generally supporting the appropriateness of JP Morgan's proposed settlement
                 amounts, making it that much more likely that Trustees may accept JP Morgan's
                 settlement offer for the majority of RMBS trusts in question. Also in July,
                 BlackRock auctioned a large legacy portfolio of residential mortgage-backed
                 securities from a vehicle that had reached the end of its investment period.
                 The auction provided a welcome source of bonds to the market, where new
                 supply has been somewhat lacking in recent months.

Manager's Market
Review and
Outlook
                 For most asset classes, the start of July was fairly benign, continuing the
                 steady upward trend in prices established during the second quarter. However,
                 better than expected second quarter US GDP results (second quarter GDP
                 annualisedgrowth was 4% in contrast to market expectations of 3%; first
                 quarter GDP was also revised upward from -2.9% to -2.1%) changed the tone
                 into month end, as the market became concerned that monetary conditions might
                 tighten sooner than previously expected. Interest rates moved upward briefly
                 (10 year US Treasuries went from sub 2.5% yields to as high as 2.6%
                 intraday), but most of the negative impact was felt in risk assets as
                 equities fell nearly 1.5% and high yield credit widened nearly 20bp on the
                 last day of the month.

                 In credit markets, the asset class that fell the most in July was high yield
                 corporate bonds. Ignoring the interest rate component of high yield bonds,
                 spreads widened from 303bp on 30 June to 344bp by 31 July. The catalyst
                 appeared to be retail selling, with outflows from high yield mutual funds and
                 ETFs of nearly 4% of AUM.

                 Many in the financial press have looked to link the back-up in high yield
                 spreads with concerns regarding market liquidity. While we believe it is
                 important for all credit investors to have a healthy concern regarding
                 liquidity, we are somewhat wary of jumping on the "liquidity collapse"
                 bandwagon. We found the market response to a nearly 4% outflow from high
                 yield mutual funds and ETFs to be fairly robust. In past periods of similarly
                 large outflows, prices have generally fallen more than was the case in July
                 (approximately 3% on average compared to the approximately 1% drop in July),
                 indicating demand from institutional channels for high yield assets. Volumes
                 also held up over the month, with institutional high yield trade volume
                 tracking approximately on par with volume traded year to date.

                 Price action in other segments of credit markets was more subdued: investment
                 grade spreads (CDX Investment Grade) moved from L+59bp to L+64bp, while (high
                 yield) bank loan prices dropped by only 0.25% to 98.9%.

                 Headline indices related to the mortgage- and asset-backed sectors weakened
                 somewhat in July, broadly in line with risk assets - the Bank of
                 America/Merrill Lynch ABS/CMBS bond index fell 32bp on the month (versus Bank
                 of America/Merrill Lynch BBB bond index which lost 53bp). US housing data was
                 mixed for the month, as existing home sales held up well relative to market
                 expectations, while Case-Shiller and CoreLogic house price levels showed
                 slight declines month-over-month on a seasonally adjusted basis, and new home
                 sales - the area of greatest weakness year to date - continued their sluggish
                 trend.

                 In broad commercial real estate markets, July saw an uptick in the issuance
                 of new commercial mortgage-backed securities. 2014 had been running behind
                 2013 in terms of total CMBS new issuance, but following the pickup in June
                 and July, 2014 is now slightly ahead of 2013, leading some to question the
                 market's ability to fully absorb this recent increase in issuance, as well as
                 new issues expected to come to market before year end.

Risk Factors

Acquiring shares in BHCC may expose an investor to a significant
risk of losing all of the amount invested. Any person who is in any doubt
about investing in BHCC (and therefore gaining exposure to the Fund) should
consult an authorised person specialising in advising on such investments. Any
person acquiring shares in BHCC must be able to bear the risks involved. These
include the following:

- The Fund is speculative and involves substantial risk.

- The Fund will be leveraged and will engage in speculative
investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss. The Fund
may invest in illiquid securities.

- Past results of the Fund's investment manager are not necessarily
indicative of future performance of the Fund, and the Fund's performance may
be volatile.

- An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her
investment.

- The Fund's investment manager has total investment and trading
authority over the Fund, and the Fund is dependent upon the services of the
investment manager. The use of a single advisor could mean lack of
diversification and, consequently, higher risk.

- Investments in the Fund are subject to restrictions on withdrawal
or redemption and should be considered illiquid. There is no secondary market
for investors' interests in the Fund and none is expected to develop.

- The investment manager's incentive compensation, fees and
expenses may offset the Fund's trading and investment profits.

- The Fund is not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation
information to investors with respect to individual investments.

- The Fund is not subject to the same regulatory requirements as
mutual funds.

- A portion of the trades executed for the Fund may take place on
foreign markets.

- The Fund and its investment manager are subject to conflicts of
interest.

- The Fund is dependent on the services of certain key personnel,
and, were certain or all of them to become unavailable, the Fund may
prematurely terminate.

- The Fund's managers will receive performance-based compensation.
Such compensation may give such managers an incentive to make riskier
investments than they otherwise would.

- The Fund may make investments in securities of issuers in
emerging markets. Investment in emerging markets involve particular risks,
such as less strict market regulation, increased likelihood of severe
inflation, unstable currencies, war, expropriation of property, limitations on
foreign investments, increased market volatility, less favourable or unstable
tax provisions, illiquid markets and social and political upheaval.

The above summary risk factors do not purport to be a complete
description of the relevant risks of an investment in shares of BHCC or the
Fund and therefore reference should be made to publicly available documents
and information.
