strong track record of delivering returns for investors 

since 1995. Third Point LLC adopts an active and 

engaged approach to global investing for investors

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Why Third Point Investors?

Exposure to the flagship  
Third Point Master Fund

Different pillars of investment 
strategy

As a UK-listed Company, TPIL offers 
UK investors a unique and efficient 
access point to Third Point LLC’s 
flagship Master Fund, which has 
delivered attractive risk-adjusted 
returns to investors since its inception 
in 1995.

The Third Point LLC (“Third Point” 
or the “Investment Manager”) 
investment strategy centres on 
four distinctive pillars: activism; 
fundamental and event-driven 
equities; credit; and private markets 
(ventures). CIO Daniel Loeb is 
responsible for overall capital 
allocation across these strategies, 
according to his reading of market 
conditions.

Unconstrained and agile

The Investment Manager 
opportunistically pivots across 
asset classes, capital structure and 
geographic domicile according 
to where it sees good potential 
risk-adjusted returns. It is not a 
benchmark-driven fund and therefore 
it provides a differentiated approach 
and outcome for global investors 
seeking diversification. 

Constructivist engagement

Always striving to improve

Governance

Third Point aims to derive long-
term value through various forms 
of constructivist engagement with 
companies in which it invests. It also 
pursues event-driven opportunities, 
identifying misunderstood catalysts 
such as M&A and special situations 
that will unlock value.

The Investment Manager’s cultural 
philosophy values teamwork and 
improvement. It respects the 
Japanese business concept of 
Gemba Kaizen, which takes into 
consideration the skills of the entire 
organisation, with the understanding 
that even the smallest of adjustments 
will create value over time. 

TPIL is a Guernsey-domiciled, 
London-listed investment company 
which is a member of the Association 
of Investment Companies (AIC) in 
the UK. A majority of independent 
directors on a board is an important 
hallmark of good UK governance 
practice.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Chairman’s Statement

Dear Shareholder,

2022 will be remembered as a 
year when almost all asset classes 
performed poorly, suffering 
significant losses in most sectors. 
TPIL was not alone. During 2022, 
TPIL returned -24.4% on a NAV total 
return basis and -25.5% on a share 
price basis. This compares with a 
-17.7% return for the MSCI World 
Index and -18.1% for the S&P 500 
Index and -33.0% for the technology-
heavy NASDAQ Index. Over the 
past three years TPIL has achieved 
annualised share price total returns of 
+8.3% (+5% NAV) versus +5.5% and 
+7.7% for the MSCI World and S&P 
500 indices respectively.

Rising, and more persistent, inflation 
together with adverse geopolitical 
events have been the dominant 
themes during most of 2022. The 
hardening resolve of central banks 
to use restrictive monetary policy 
to contain inflation has given way 
to occasional market exuberance 
that each rise in interest rates 
heralds optimism that inflation 
is at or near its peak. While 
economic indicators generally do 
not yet evidence a U.S. recession, 
avoiding one is looking increasingly 
tenuous as the U.S. Federal 
Reserve responds aggressively 
to a robust labour market.

Portfolio Drivers

During 2022, Long Equity was 
the largest source of detraction 
with -22.7% gross contribution 
to return. This was offset by a 
positive contribution of Short Equity 
generating a return of +6.5%, netting 

-16.2% for all equity. Within the Long 
Equity exposures, Fundamental and 
Event Driven equity made up -19.6% 
of the -22.7%, with the -3.1% balance 
being attributed to Activist positions.

The Company’s exposure to 
Corporate and Structured Credit 
performed in line with the indices, 
and detracted a combined -2.5% at 
the portfolio level. Pre-IPO Privates 
contributed a further -3.3% return at 
the portfolio level, with the aggregate 
venture portfolio being marked down 
by 35% in line with the NASDAQ.

Having entered 2022 with an above 
average net equity exposure of 
67%, two key factors contributed to 
TPIL’s underperformance in 2022. 
Firstly, the Investment Manager 
underestimated both the impact of 
rising and increasingly persistent 
inflation. Secondly, the contagion 
from earnings multiple contraction 
from the unprofitable tech spread 
more broadly to higher quality and 
other high multiple names. Over half 
of the fund losses for the year were 
incurred in Q1 2022. In a similar vein, 
the stocks such as SentinelOne, Intuit 
and Upstart – which had contributed 
to 20%+ gains in FY 2021 – were the 
very same that hurt the Company 
most in Q1 2022, with additional 
drawdown contributions from 
Amazon and Disney. 

To put this in context, while pre-
IPO and post-IPO Privates cost the 
Company almost 10% in 2022, they 
have contributed almost 30% over 
the past three years.

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDThe Master Fund in which 
the Company invests 
is tilting towards more 
concentrated investment 
exposures where its 
traditional strengths lie, 
focussing on classic value, 
event driven and activism 
strategies.

As the year progressed, the 
portfolio evolved to more of a capital 
preservation mode with net equity 
exposure falling at its lows to around 
25%, focussing on long positions in 
more defensive names notably in the 
energy sector, while upsizing short 
exposure to growth and tech-oriented 
sectors. During the second half, 
increased focus on long equity in 
event and activist themed positions, 
such as Colgate-Palmolive & Bath & 
Body Works, were major contributors, 
and were positively augmented by 
aggressive hedging against interest 
rate exposure.

Discount Management

Despite the Board’s continued 
efforts to narrow the discount during 
the year with the ongoing buyback 
programme and an exchange 
offer for 25% of outstanding 
shares, the discount ended the 
year on 15.4% vs 14.1% at end 
2021. While the discount ended 
the year 1.4% wider than where it 
began, this should be seen in the 
context of a significant widening 
of discounts in the Investment 
Trust sector generally, which fell 
on average from -0.3% to -9.0% on 
a market-cap weighted basis.

During 2022 the Company bought 
back over 2 million shares, equivalent 
to $53 million in value, which was 
accretive by 27 cents per share. 
Since 2018, when the latest buyback 
programme was initiated, the 
Company has bought back just under 
14 million shares with a value of more 
than $264 million, or an accretion of 

$1.69 per share. In September 2022, 
the Board announced that it would 
continue its previously announced 
buyback programme, allocating a 
further $50 million to buybacks in 
the period to September 2023. At the 
time of publication, approximately $29 
million was remaining of this tranche. 

The Company also executed an 
exchange offer for shares in the 
Company during the year into the 
Third Point Master Fund at a discount 
of 2% to NAV. The offer was fully 
subscribed at the limit of $75 million. 
The Board would like to remind 
shareholders that two further tenders 
will be held in March 2024 and 
March 2027. The tenders will each 
be for 25% of outstanding shares at a 
discount of 2% if the discount is wider 
than 10% and 7.5% respectively, in 
the six months prior to the tender 
submission notification date.

Board

Following a series of requisitions by 
certain shareholders in 2021 and 
early 2022, the Board welcomed 
two new independent directors in 
March 2022, further augmenting 
its independence and capability. 
We are delighted to benefit from 
Richard Boleat and Vivien Gould’s 
deep experience on the Board. They 
chair the Management Engagement 
Committee and Remuneration 
& Nomination Committees, 
respectively.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Outlook

Following a bruising year in 2022, 
the Master Fund in which the 
Company invests is tilting towards 
more concentrated investment 
exposures where its traditional 
strengths lie, focussing on classic 
value, event driven and activism 
strategies, characterised by catalysts 
within investee companies, or where 
events are initiated by the Investment 
Manager. Activism exposure has 
risen from approximately 15% to 
almost 40% of gross equity exposure 
over the financial year.

Corporate and Structured Credit 
have been traditional strengths of 
the Company. During the current 
financial year, the rising interest 
rate environment has induced 

greater volatility in consumer-facing 
structured credit, permitting a move 
up the capital structure where the 
Company can benefit from greater 
credit support and higher yields 
as well as offering more attractive 
risk adjusted returns, even under 
adverse scenarios. In Corporate 
Credit, refinancings at higher rates 
and tighter credit conditions will likely 
push spreads wider in what could be 
a period of credit dislocation, creating 
attractive investment opportunities 
for the Company, especially in the 
wake of a period of net negative 
supply in high yield.

While 2022 was extremely 
disappointing from a performance 
perspective, the Investment Manager 
is encouraged that the opportunity 

set currently presented is highly 
attractive for capitalising on its many 
strategies employed in its security 
selection and in specialist credit.

It is notable that the Investment 
Manager’s longevity and ability 
to bounce back strongly after 
significant drawdowns is a defining 
characteristic, and we believe that 
the current investment landscape will 
offer the opportunity to earn strong 
returns in the years ahead.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Investment Manager’s Review

Very few corners of the 
market were spared from 
this liquidity pullback – 
2022 was one of only a 
handful of calendar years 
on record when both 
equities and bonds logged 
negative annual returns. 

Strategy Performance 

As stated in the Chairman’s 
Statement, for the twelve months 
ended 31 December 2022, Third 
Point Investors Limited’s net asset 
value (“NAV”) per share decreased by 
24.4%, while the corresponding share 
price fell 25.5%. This compares with 
the MSCI World Index and S&P 500 
Index returns of -17.7% and -18.1%, 
respectively. The Company’s share 
price return included the effects of 
the discount to NAV widening slightly 
from -14.1% to -15.4%. 

2022 looks to have been the start of a 
painful transition from a long period 
of accommodative monetary policy 
to one characterised by a tighter grip. 
The sustained reverberations of the 
pandemic, paired with the conflict in 
Ukraine, conspired to push inflation to 
40-year highs, precipitating a forceful 
response from global central banks. 
Very few corners of the market were 
spared from this liquidity pullback 
– 2022 was one of only a handful of 
calendar years on record when both 

equities and bonds logged negative 
annual returns. Hardest hit, though, 
was anything with duration, including 
longer dated fixed income and any 
security promising future growth at 
the expense of current profitability. 
Adding to the disorientation were 
the month-to-month convulsions 
– despite being down more than 
18% for the full year, the S&P 500 
saw three intra-year rallies of more 
than 10% driven by the hope of a 
“pivot” from the U.S. Federal Reserve. 
Each of these rallies eventually 
fizzled out as the Fed reaffirmed its 
hawkishness. 

While it was exceedingly difficult 
to navigate this volatility, Third 
Point’s full year performance is 
nonetheless disappointing. Long 
Equity was the largest source of 
detraction (-22.7% gross contribution 
to return for Master Fund, Fig. 1 
below), and the vast majority of 
these losses occurred in Third 
Point’s Fundamental & Event Equity 
portfolio as opposed to its Activism

positions. Losses in the long book 
were offset to a smaller degree by 
Short Equity Positions (+6.5% gross 
contribution to return). Elsewhere, 
both Corporate & Sovereign Credit 
and Structured Credit (-2.5% gross 
contribution to return combined) 
were smaller sources of losses, 
driven by the move in both interest 
rates and credit spreads in high yield 
and asset-backed securities. Finally, 
the growth-oriented Privates portfolio 
(-3.3% gross contribution to return) 
was marked down approximately 35% 
in aggregate during the year, roughly 
in line with the performance of the 
NASDAQ index. We discuss 2022 
performance in more detail below. 

2022 Performance Review      

Equities
In retrospect, the principal source of 
underperformance during 2022 was 
entering the year with an elevated 
net long exposure in Equities (Fig. 2 
below). 

Third Point started to reduce 
exposures to equities in Q4 2021 
when it became clear that inflation 
was becoming more persistent than 
expected. Ultimately, however, the 
firm underestimated how broadly 
multiple contraction would spread 
from the most vulnerable ends of the 

market – especially hyper-growth 
and unprofitable technology – to 
profitable technology and higher 
quality (albeit higher multiple) names. 
As a result, about half of the Master 
Fund’s losses for the full year of 2022 
were experienced in Q1 2022. And 
the symmetry stands out: the same 
names that helped Third Point deliver 
20%+ returns in 2021 ended up being 
the largest sources of detraction, 
both for Q1 2022 and for the full year 
(Fig. 3 below).

Most of those losses were 
crystallized early in the year as part 
of a pivot towards a more defensive 
portfolio. Third Point exited Upstart 
in January after having trimmed 
substantially in Q4 2021. Even 
as it represented a top Q1 2022 
detractor, that investment contributed 
15.6% gross to fund returns since 
its inception as a Series C private 
investment in 2015. The Investment 
Manager also exited Rivian, another 
recent IPO, as well as positions in 
more mature technology companies 
such as Intuit and Amazon.

After these exits in Q1 2022, 
SentinelOne in many ways became 
the last outpost of growth in the 
portfolio. Third Point believed that, 
especially in a world beset by 
geopolitical turmoil, cybersecurity

would be less prone to governmental 
and corporate belt tightening. But the 
magnitude of multiple compression 
and weakness in enterprise IT spend 
combined to drag the stock further 
down for the balance of the year. As 
a result, the cybersecurity company, 
the second largest contributor in 
2021, was the single largest detractor 
in 2022. Like Upstart, it has still 
been a very successful investment 
since its inception as a private 
company, contributing 2.2% gross to 
fund returns. While the Investment 
Manager still believes in its ultimate 
trajectory, it trimmed the position 
and implemented a hedge basket to 
isolate the idiosyncratic risk.

In the wake of this market pivot, 
which was exacerbated by Russia’s 
invasion of Ukraine, Third Point 
continued to shift the portfolio into 
capital preservation mode, while at 
the same time allocating more capital 
to potential beneficiaries of inflation. 

The fund prioritized more defensive 
long positions, in addition to sizing 
up its short equity book (especially 
in more growth-oriented names in 
enterprise technology and media & 
internet) and increasing its exposure 
to energy (Fig. 4 below).

These changes helped the 
Master Fund weather subsequent 
downdrafts during the year, with 
one notable exception coming in 
June 2022, when fears of a looming 
recession weighed on commodity 
prices and hurt energy stocks. As 
a result of these portfolio changes, 
the corollary was that Third Point 
did not match the market when 
fits of optimism materialized in the 
beginning of Q3 and first 10 weeks of 
Q4 (Fig 5 below).

Value-oriented long equity positions 
and Event/Activist positions worked

was more pronounced. In addition, 
the fund experienced write-offs and 
markdowns in the modest exposure 
to crypto-related private investments. 
To put these losses in context, from 
2019 to 2021, privates, represented 
by both pre-IPO positions and 
those held through a public listing, 
contributed almost 30 percentage 
points to return (Fig. 6 above). In 
2022, the Master Fund gave just 
under a third of that gain back. 

Corporate & Sovereign Credit/
Structured Credit
In one of the worst years on 
record for credit markets, with 
the J.P. Morgan High Yield Index 
returning -11% and the J.P. Morgan 
Investment Grade Index returning 
-15%, Third Point’s Corporate Credit 
portfolio returned approximately 
-12%, representing a -1.1% gross 
contribution to Master Fund returns. 
While disappointing on an absolute 
level, the firm kept its exposures 
relatively contained throughout 
the year, limiting the damage on 
Third Point’s aggregate portfolio. 
The largest individual source of 
detraction for the year was the firm’s 
position in aerospace company 
Boeing. The underperformance was 
a combination of its longer duration 
and the delayed delivery of its 737 
aircraft. Investments in the bonds of 
cruise lines, which bounced back 
alongside the spending habits of 
vacationers, were well timed and 
offset some of these losses. 

Third Point’s Structured Credit 
portfolio, which was evenly split 
between residential mortgage-

backed securities and other 
consumer-related asset-backed 
securities, returned -5% for the full 
year, representing a -1.4% gross 
contribution to Master Fund return. 
Like virtually all other markets, the 
Fed’s efforts to combat inflation 
brought the same unease and 
volatility to the structured credit 
markets. The portfolio’s residential 
mortgage-backed exposure was 
most affected by this mark-to-market, 
led by rising rates, wider credit 
spreads and a scenario shift pointing 
to a higher probability of recession. 
Despite the increased uncertainty, 
homeowners and consumers have 
continued to pay down the underlying 
loans in these asset-backed 
securities, and Third Point chose to 
maintain an elevated allocation to the 
asset class despite the headwinds it 
faced in 2022.     

Outlook

We entered 2023 with more 
constructive trends in geopolitics 
and macroeconomics. Europe 
appeared to have sidestepped the 
worst fears related to the Ukraine war, 
high energy prices, and recession, 
leading to strong performance in 
equity markets. China accepted 
the course of herd immunity and is 
already showing signs of strength in 
its reopening, leading to expectations 
of significant pent-up demand for 
luxury goods and commodities. China 
seems to understand that restoring 
economic strength is central to 
its political ambitions, but any 
enthusiasm there must be tempered 
by realism about geopolitical risks.

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDThe stock market decline 
has created attractive 
valuations for many high 
quality companies, while 
Covid created aberrations 
in growth and a reluctance 
to let go of under-
performing business units 
or bloated cost structures. 

This prevailing sense of optimism 
was of course tempered in March by 
convulsions in the banking sector, 
starting with several regional banks 
in the U.S. and moving on to Credit 
Suisse. While regulators swiftly 
stepped in to fortify confidence in 
the system, at the very least, this 
reckoning will further constrict 
lending activity as the cost of capital 
continues to rise. This will weigh on 
economic growth at a fragile time, but 
will also assist central bankers in their 
efforts to dampen down inflation.   

This continued push and pull 
between monetary policy and the 
real economy will likely yield uneven 
results in the near term. However, 
the Investment Manager’s earnings 
outlook for 2024 is more favourable, 
and it believes conditions are 
now ripe for many types of event-
driven and activist investing. The 
stock market decline has created 
attractive valuations for many high 
quality companies, while Covid 
created aberrations in growth and 
a reluctance to let go of under-
performing business units or bloated 
cost structures. To the extent 
companies have not addressed these 
issues themselves or have been 
slow to react, engaged shareholders 

have an opportunity to encourage 
more efficient operations and capital 
allocation. This opportunity is the 
driving force behind the increasing 
exposure to activism and event-driven 
names in the Third Point portfolio 
(Fig. 7 below). The firm used market 
weakness in Q4 2022 to bring up 
its exposures, initiate several new 
positions, and add to others that 
traded to attractive levels. In addition 
to activism, the Investment Manager 
is focusing on companies making 
significant share repurchases, 
planning to unlock value via a spin-off, 
or improving a muddied narrative 
after being born out of bankruptcy. 

Third Point’s credit portfolio remains 
positioned based on the fundamental 
view that the consumer was (and 
remains) in good shape. The huge 
increase in housing prices over 
the last few years combined with 
mortgage amortization provides 
significant credit support to the 
residential mortgage market. By 
contrast, corporate debt levels are 
high. As a result, the Investment 
Manager’s structured credit exposure 
is at a relatively high level while its 
corporate exposure is much lower. 
Third Point has continued to hedge 
most of the interest rate risk in both 
credit portfolios.

1 All information is at 31/12/2022 and relates to the Third Point Offshore Master Fund L.P. Exposures are reflected as the average exposure during each month.

Corporate credit spreads appeared 
tight at the start of 2023 given the 
uncertain near-term outlook. The 
U.S. Federal Reserve may be close 
to finishing rate increases, but Third 
Point expects increasing stresses in 
the credit markets as the impact of 
higher interest rates cycles through 
the system, something we saw most 
acutely in the banking sector in the 
first quarter of 2023. Investment 
and business models predicated 
on cheap money are no longer 
economic, and Third Point expects an 
increasing number of opportunities 
to bubble up in public markets as 
this dynamic shifts. Third Point has a 
history of deploying capital to credit 
quickly during times of dislocation 
(Fig. 8 above), and for now, the firm 
is keeping cash available to invest if 
circumstances dictate.

Meanwhile, based on the mark-to-
market of 2022, the structured credit 
portfolio’s current yield has risen to 
approximately 18%. The portfolio 
is split roughly 50/50 between 
residential mortgage-backed 
securities and consumer asset-
backed securities. The largest source 
of detraction from performance in 
2022 was the reperforming mortgage 

portfolio. However it remains one 
of the most compelling parts of the 
portfolio and represents risk that 
cannot be re-created today given the 
historically tight financing costs Third 
Point secured when structuring these 
securitizations in 2021. Third Point 
believes this reperforming mortgage 
exposure, coupled with short duration 
consumer ABS and senior mortgage 
tranches, represents a strong 
potential risk-adjusted return profile 
with the ability to re-invest proceeds 
in a higher rate environment. As such, 
the firm has been actively trading the 
portfolio, with a focus on reducing 
subordinate risk and re-investing 
capital into higher yielding senior 
exposure.

Finally, in privates, Third Point 
believes the latest venture 
market reset is a healthy one. The 
opportunities being created by 
accelerating technological change 
are large and not receding. What has 
begun to recalibrate is the investing 
environment, and this is finally being 
expressed in valuations. This dynamic 
presents opportunity: the firm would 
rather be active in a market where 
enterprise software trades at 7x 
revenue multiples compared to 100x,

even if that change has required it 
to adjust marks on some portfolio 
companies. 

Although performance for 2022 
was disappointing, Third Point is 
encouraged by the current backdrop 
for security and asset class selection. 
The firm is now approaching 
three decades in business, and its 
longevity can be attributed to its 
ability to use the many strategies 
it employs to find optimal risk/
reward in changing markets. This 
quality has historically presented 

opportunities for Third Point to 
adapt and to come back stronger 
after periods of tumult. In each case 
during its largest drawdowns since 
inception, Third Point has gone on to 
deliver strong returns in the one and 
two years after navigating through 
periods of difficult performance 
(Fig. 9 above). The Investment 
Manager remains optimistic that 
the current environment presents a 
compelling backdrop for an event-
driven approach, which is its core 
competency and the foundation upon 
which the firm was built.

Net equity exposure is defined as the long exposure minus the short exposure of all equity positions (including long/short, 
arbitrage, and other strategies), and can serve as a rough measure of the exposure to fluctuations in overall market levels. 
The Investment Manager continues to closely monitor the liquidity of the portfolio and is comfortable that the current

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Strategic Report

The Directors submit their Annual Report, together with the Statement of Assets and 
Liabilities, Statement of Operations, Statement of Changes in Net Assets, Statement 
of Cash Flows and the related notes of Third Point Investors Limited (the “Company”) 
for the year ended 31 December 2022 (“Audited Financial Statements”). 

These Audited Financial Statements have been properly 
prepared, in accordance with applicable Guernsey law 
and accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America, and are in agreement with the 
accounting records.

The Company

The Company was incorporated in Guernsey on 19 June 
2007 as an authorised closed-ended investment scheme 
and was admitted to a secondary listing (Chapter 14) on 
the Official List of the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) 
on 23 July 2007. The proceeds from the initial issue of 
Ordinary Shares on listing amounted to approximately 
US$523 million. The Company was admitted to the 
Premium Official List Segment (“Premium Listing”) of the 
LSE on 10 September 2018.

The Ordinary Shares of the Company are quoted on the 
LSE in two currencies, US Dollars and Pounds Sterling.

The Company is a member of the Association of 
Investment Companies (“AIC”).

Third Point Offshore Independent Voting 
Company Limited

At the time of its listing, the Company adopted a share 
structure which was common at that time, to mitigate the 
risk of the Company losing its status as a “foreign private 
issuer” under US securities laws.  

The Company has two classes of shares in issue: (i) 
Ordinary Shares which have economic and voting rights 
and (ii) Class B Shares which have only voting rights. 
The Company’s articles of incorporation provide that the 
number of Class B Shares in issue shall be equal to 40 
per cent. of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares 
and Class B Shares in issue. Consequently, holders of 
Ordinary Shares can exercise 60 per cent., and holders 
of Class B Shares can exercise 40 per cent., of the voting 
power at general meetings of the Company.

The Class B Shares are held by Third Point Offshore 
Independent Voting Company Limited (“Voteco”). 
VoteCo has its own Board of Directors and is completely 

independent of the Company and Third Point.  The 
Board of VoteCo is governed by VoteCo’s Memorandum 
and Articles of Incorporation which provide that the 
votes attaching to the Class B Shares shall be exercised 
after taking into consideration the best interests of the 
Company’s shareholders as a whole.  

VoteCo is specifically excluded from voting from any of 
the twelve Listing Rules Specified Matters, being those 
matters in relation to which the Listing Rules require a 
resolution to be passed only by holders of listed shares, 
the most notable of which are:

	„ any proposal to make a material change to the 

investment policy

	„ any proposal to approve the entry into a related party 

transaction

	„ the annual re-election of any non-independent director

At the time of the Company’s listing, it entered into a 
Support and Custody Agreement with VoteCo under 
which VoteCo agreed to hold the Class B Shares 
as custodian for the Ordinary Shareholders and the 
Company agreed to reimburse VoteCo for its running 
expenses.

Investment Objective and Policy

The Company’s investment objective is to provide 
its Shareholders with consistent long term capital 
appreciation utilising the investment skills of Third Point 
LLC (the “Investment Manager”, “Manager”, or “Firm”). 
All of the Company’s capital (net of short term working 
capital requirements) is invested in shares of Third Point 
Offshore Fund, Ltd (the “Master Fund”), an exempted 
company formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands 
on 21 October 1996.

The Master Fund is a limited partner of Third Point 
Offshore Master Fund L.P. (the “Master Partnership”), 
an exempted limited partnership under the laws of the 
Cayman Islands, of which Third Point Advisors II L.L.C., 
an affiliate of the Investment Manager, is the general 
partner. Third Point LLC is the Investment Manager to the 
Company, the Master Fund and the Master Partnership.

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDThe Master Fund and the Master Partnership have the 
same investment objectives, investment strategies and 
investment restrictions.

the Master Partnership do not intend to hold any shares 
longer than the minimum required to comply with these 
factors, expected to be no more than one month.

The Master Fund and Master Partnership’s investment 
objective is to seek to generate consistent long-term 
capital appreciation, by investing capital in securities 
and other instruments in select asset classes, sectors, 
and geographies, by taking long and short positions. The 
Investment Manager’s implementation of the Master 
Fund and Master Partnership’s investment policies is the 
main driver of the Company’s performance. The Audited 
Financial Statements of the Master Fund and the Audited 
Financial Statements of the Master Partnership, should 
be read alongside the Company’s Audited Financial 
Statements, but do not form part of them.

The Investment Manager identifies opportunities by 
combining a fundamental approach to single security 
analysis with a reasoned view on global, political and 
economic events that shapes portfolio construction and 
drives risk management.

The Investment Manager seeks to take advantage of 
market and economic dislocations and supplements 
its analysis with considerations of managing overall 
exposures across specific asset classes, sectors, and 
geographies by evaluating sizing, concentration, risk, 
and beta, among other factors. The resulting portfolio 
expresses the Investment Manager’s best ideas 
for generating alpha and its tolerance for risk given 
global market conditions. The Investment Manager is 
opportunistic and often seeks a catalyst that will unlock 
value or alter the lens through which the broad market 
values a particular investment. The Investment Manager 
applies aspects of this framework to its decision-making 
process, and this approach informs the timing of each 
investment and its associated risk.

At the beginning of the year, the Company had 
substantially all of its holding in the Master Fund in share 
Class Y. This share class attracted a management fee of 
1.50% and the Company also qualified for an additional 
reduction in the management fee applicable to it based 
on its size and longevity as an investor in the Master Fund. 
As a result, the Company has paid a management fee of 
1.25% per annum. The Class Y share class is subject to a 
25% quarterly investor level redemption gate. With effect 
from 1 January 2022, the Company elected to participate 
in side pocket investments within the Master Fund and, 
from that date, the Class Y shares held by the Company 
were designated as Class YSP shares.

Any Ordinary Shares bought for the Company’s account 
(e.g. as part of the buyback programme) traded mid-month 
will be purchased and held by the Master Partnership 
until the Company is able to cancel the shares following 
each month-end. Shares cannot be cancelled intra-month 
because of legal and logistical factors. The Company and 

Results and Share Buybacks

The results for the year are set out in the Statement of 
Operations. 

In September 2019, the Board announced the 
implementation of a share buyback programme worth 
$200 million, with share purchases being made through 
the market at prices below the prevailing NAV per share. 
The scale of the buyback was designed to reduce the 
discount to net asset value, contain discount volatility 
and provide liquidity to the market. Meanwhile, the 
Company’s returns are bolstered by the accretion to NAV 
from buybacks. The buyback programme was extended 
in September 2022 with the order of a further $50 million 
allocated to buybacks in the subsequent 12 months.  

In the year from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022, 
the total number of shares which were bought back was 
2,331,574, with an approximate value of $53 million. The 
average discount at which purchases were made was 
12.6%. The buybacks effected during the year led to an 
accretion to NAV per share of 27 cents.

Key performance indicators (“KPI’s”)

At each Board meeting, the Board considers a number of 
performance measures to assess the Company’s success 
in achieving its objectives. The KPI’s which have been 
identified by the Board for determining the progress of the 
Company are:

	„ Net Asset Value (NAV);
	„ Discount to the NAV;
	„ Share price; and
	„ Ongoing charges.

Viability Statement

In accordance with principle 31 of the UK Corporate 
Governance Code, published by the Financial Reporting 
Council in July 2018 (“The Code”), the Directors have 
assessed the prospects of the Company over the three 
year period to 31 December 2025. The Directors consider 
that three years is an appropriate period based on a 
review of the Company’s investment horizon, anticipated 
cash flows, management arrangements as well as the 
liquidity of the Company’s investment in the Master Fund.

The Company’s performance and operations depend 
upon the performance of the Master Fund and the 
Directors, in assessing the viability of the Company, pay 
particular attention to the risks facing the Master Fund. 

The Directors acknowledge the two year notice period 
to the Investment Manager serving notice under the 
Management Agreement. To mitigate against this risk, the 

25

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022 
Directors meet regularly with the Investment Manager to 
review the Company’s performance, and closely monitor 
the relationship with the Investment Manager.

In its assessment of the viability of the Company, the 
Directors have carried out a robust assessment of the 
principal risks facing the Company as set out in the 
Directors’ Report, and believe that the Company is well 
placed to manage these risks, having taken into account 
the current economic outlook.

The Directors, having considered the risks and reviewed 
ongoing budgeted expenses, have a reasonable 
expectation that the Company will be able to continue 
in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due. The 
Directors confirm their belief that the Company will 
remain viable for the period to 31 December 2025.

Going Concern

The Master Fund shares are liquid and can be converted 
to cash to meet liabilities as they fall due. Although these 
shares are subject to a 25% quarterly investor level 
redemption gate, the Board considers this to be sufficient 
for normal requirements. After due consideration, 
and having made due enquiry, given the nature of the 
Company and its investments, the Directors are satisfied 
that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going 
concern basis in preparing these Audited Financial 
Statements for the period through 30 June 2024.

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDSection 172 Report

Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 (“UK Companies Act”) applies directly to UK 
domiciled companies. Nonetheless, the intention of the AIC Code is that the matters 
set out in Section 172 are reported on by all London listed investment companies, 
irrespective of domicile, provided that this does not conflict with local company law.

Section 172 states that: A director of a company must act in the way he or she considers, in good faith, would be most 
likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard 
(amongst other matters) to the following: 

The likely consequences of any decision in the 
long term.

In managing the Company, the aim of the Board and 
the Investment Manager is always to ensure the 
long-term sustainable success of the Company and, 
therefore, the likely long-term consequences of any 
decision are a key consideration. In managing the 
Company during the year under review, the Board 
acted in the way which it considered, in good faith, 
would be most likely to promote the Company’s 
long-term sustainable success and to achieve its 
wider objectives for the benefit of Shareholders as 
a whole, having had regard to the Company’s wider 
stakeholders and the other matters set out in section 
172 of the UK Companies Act.

The interests of the Company’s employees.

The Company does not have any employees.

The need to foster the Company’s business 
relationships with suppliers, customers and others.

The Board’s approach is described under 
“Stakeholders” on the following pages.

The impact of the Company’s operations on the 
community and the environment.

The Board’s approach is described under 
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance 
(ESG) Policies on the following pages.

The desirability of the Company maintaining a 
reputation for high standards of business conduct.

The Board’s approach is described under “Culture and 
Values” on the following pages.

The need to act fairly as between members of the 
Company.

The Board’s approach is described under 
“Stakeholders” on the following pages.

Culture and Values

The Directors’ overarching duty is to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of investors, with due 
consideration of other stakeholders’ interests. The Company’s approach to investment is explained in the Investment 
Manager’s Report. The Board applies various policies and practices to ensure that the Board’s culture is in line with the 
Company’s purpose, values and strategy. The Directors aim to achieve a supportive business culture combined with 
constructive challenge.

The Company has a number of policies and procedures in place to assist with maintaining a culture of good 
governance including those relating to diversity, anti-bribery (including the acceptance of gifts and hospitality), tax 

27

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022evasion, conflicts of interest, and dealings in the Company’s shares. The Board assesses and monitors compliance 
with these policies regularly through Board meetings and the annual evaluation process. The Board seeks to appoint 
the most appropriate service providers for the Company’s needs and evaluates the services on a regular basis. The 
Board considers the culture of the Investment Manager and other service providers through regular reporting and by 
receiving regular presentations as well as through ad hoc interaction. 

The Board also seeks to control the Company’s costs, thereby enhancing performance and returns for the Company’s 
Shareholders. The Directors consider the impact on the community and environment. The Board and Investment 
Manager work closely together in developing and monitoring the Company’s approach to Environmental, Social and 
Corporate Governance matters. 

Stakeholders

The Company is an externally managed investment company whose activities are all outsourced. It does not have any 
employees. The Board has identified its key stakeholders, and how the Company engages with them, in the table below:

Stakeholder

Key Considerations

Engagement

Shareholders

As an investment company, Third Point 
Investors Limited’s Shareholders are, in 
effect, both its owners and its customers, 
seeking investment returns from the 
Company. A well-informed and supportive 
Shareholder base is crucial to the long-
term sustainability of the Company. 
Understanding the views and priorities of 
Shareholders is, therefore, fundamental to 
retaining their continued support.
In considering Shareholders, the Board’s 
key considerations are:

	„ Overall investment returns;
	„ Controlling the discount at which 

shares trade to net asset value; and

	„ Control of costs.

Investment 
Manager

Management of the Company’s 
investment is delegated to the Investment 
Manager. Investment performance is 
crucial to the long-term success of the 
Company.

A detailed explanation of the Company’s 
approach is set out in the Director’s 
Report under Relations with Shareholders.

The Board receives regular reports 
from the Investment Manager and 
also independent reports from Numis 
Securities Limited (the “Corporate 
Broker”) on relations with, and any views 
expressed by, Shareholders.

During 2021, a minority of the Company’s 
Shareholders petitioned the Board in an 
attempt to have the Board follow policies 
which were in those Shareholders’ 
interests. The Board engaged with those 
Shareholders but continued to follow 
policies which it considered to be in the 
best interests of Shareholders taken as 
a whole. This continued into 2022 but, 
after discussions with the Company, 
these shareholders agreed to cease their 
actions in February 2022. 

The Board engages in regular, open and 
close communication with the Investment 
Manager. It reviews in detail the overall 
performance of the Company and its 
underlying investment. The relationship 
with and performance of the Investment 
Manager is monitored and reviewed 
by the Management Engagement 
Committee.

In setting investment management fees, 
the Board seeks to achieve an appropriate 
balance between value for money and an 
incentive to retain a strong and capable 
portfolio management team along with 
supporting staff and infrastructure.

Key Considerations

Engagement

Administrator 
and Corporate 
Secretary and 
other key service 
providers.

The Administrator and Corporate 
Secretary are key to the effective running 
of the Company.

The Company has a number of other key 
service providers, each of which provides 
an important service to the Company and 
ultimately to its Shareholders.

The Administrator and Corporate 
Secretary attend all Board meetings.

The Management Engagement 
Committee undertakes an annual 
review of the key service providers, 
encompassing performance, level of 
service and cost. Each provider is an 
established business and each is required 
to have in place suitable policies to 
ensure they maintain high standards of 
business conduct, treat customers fairly, 
and employ corporate governance best 
practices.

All bills and expense claims from suppliers 
are paid in full, on time and in compliance 
with the relevant contracts.

Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Policies

The Board regards proper and effective governance a high priority for the Company.
As an investment company, the Company has a limited direct impact on the environment or on society. The Board has 
concluded specifically that climate change, including physical and transition risks, does not have a material impact on 
the recognition and separate measurement considerations of the assets and liabilities of the Company in the financial 
statements as at 31 December 2022, but recognises that climate change may have an effect on the investments held in 
the Master Fund. The Board requires the Company’s service providers to have adopted and to follow appropriate ESG 
policies and the Investment Manager assesses and monitors any climate change risk on the investments held in the 
Master Fund.

The ESG policies of the Investment Manager are made up of the environmental, social, and governance factors 
considered in the investment process and the ESG initiatives undertaken within the business itself.
The Investment Manager is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment.

Investment Process

In 2020, Third Point started to incorporate ESG evaluation into certain of its investment strategies. The Investment 
Manager’s process is designed to broadly identify ESG issues – both those that may create value and those likely to 
destroy it – and, when appropriate, to consider whether to engage company management in discussion about these 
topics. These standards are maintained through a four-step process – from pre-investment checklist to post-investment 
tracking – overseen by the Head of ESG Engagement, who stays abreast of developments in the portfolio and in the 
ESG community and engages with the Director of Research and the investment team on ESG issues.

Assessing Sustainability Risks
Sustainability risk refers to an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause 
an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of an investment. The Investment Manager therefore 
approaches sustainability risk analysis as a process of identifying potential events that could cause a material negative 
impact on the value of its clients’ investments.

The Investment Manager considers environmental, social, and governance events or conditions as part of the 
investment process in areas where data availability allows for analysis, with a focus on risks relating to governance 
events or conditions. These are most relevant to the Master Fund, given the Investment Manager’s history of 
shareholder engagement. The Investment Manager has implemented procedures to identify, manage and monitor 
certain sustainability risks relating to governance events including:

Identification: The Investment Manager has reviewed the sustainability risks relating to governance events or conditions 
which may cause a material negative impact on the value of its clients’ investments, should those risks occur.

29

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Management: While the Investment Manager’s portfolio 
managers and analysts are provided with information 
on certain sustainability risks relating to governance 
events or conditions, and are encouraged to take 
such sustainability risks into account when making an 
investment decision, sustainability risk would not by 
itself prevent the Investment Manager from making 
any investment. Instead, sustainability risk relating to 
governance events or conditions forms part of the overall 
risk management process, and is one of many risks which 
may, depending on the specific investment opportunity, 
be relevant to a determination of risk. However, the 
Investment Manager does not apply any absolute risk 
limits or risk appetite thresholds which relate exclusively 
to sustainability risk relating to governance events or 
conditions as a separate category of risk.

Monitoring: As part of ongoing monitoring, the 
Investment Manager’s portfolio managers may at times 
engage in Active Ownership. Active Ownership is the 
process of communicating with issuers on governance 
issues, with a view to monitor or influence governance 
outcomes within the issuer.

Governance risks are associated with the quality, 
effectiveness and process for the oversight of day-to-day 
management of companies in which the Master Fund 
may invest or otherwise have exposure to. Such risks 
may arise in respect of the Company itself, its affiliates or 
in its supply chain. While not exhaustive, the below are 
examples of the risks that the Investment Manager seeks 
to assess:

	„ Lack of diversity at board or governing body level: 

the absence of a diverse and relevant skillset within 
a board or governing body may result in less well-
informed decisions being made. The absence of an 
independent chairperson of the board, particularly 
where such role is combined with the role of chief 
executive officer, may hamper the board’s ability to 
exercise its oversight responsibilities, challenge and 
discuss strategic planning and performance, input on 
issues such as succession planning and executive 
remuneration and otherwise set the board’s agenda.

	„ Inadequate external or internal audit: ineffective or 
otherwise inadequate internal and external audit 
functions may increase the likelihood that fraud and 
other issues within a company are not detected and/or 
that material information used as part of a company’s 
valuation and/or the Investment Manager’s investment 
decision making is inaccurate.

	„ Bribery and corruption: the effectiveness of a 

company’s controls to detect and prevent bribery and 
corruption both within the company and its governing 
body and also its suppliers, contractors and sub-
contractors may have an impact on the extent to which 
a company is operated in furtherance of its business 
objectives.

	„ Lack of scrutiny of executive pay: failure to align levels 
of executive pay with performance and long-term 
corporate strategy in order to protect and create value 
may result in executives failing to act in the long-term 
interest of the company. 

	„ Poor safeguards on personal data/IT security (of 
employees and/or customers): the effectiveness 
of measures taken to protect personal data of 
employees and customers, and, more broadly, IT and 
cybersecurity, will affect a company’s susceptibility 
to inadvertent data breaches and its resilience to 
“hacking.”

ESG within Third Point

The Investment Manager also endeavours to continuously 
improve and expand upon its commitment to be a 
responsible, sustainable, and healthy workplace. Since 
its founding in 1995, it has promoted employee wellness, 
training, and environmental sustainability, and in 2019 
codified these values into its formal ESG policies. 
These policies encompass an ongoing commitment to 
developing best-in-class standards for environmental, 
social, and governance practices. Below are some of the 
highlights of the internal ESG activities and initiatives that 
have been undertaken by the Investment Manager.

Environmental initiatives
Third Point’s reuse and recycling practices focus on 
recycling plastics and paper; reducing container waste; 
and promoting food sustainability.

Third Point’s offices are located at 55 Hudson Yards, 
which is part of the first neighbourhood in Manhattan 
to receive the LEED-Gold certification, awarded 
by the United States Green Building Council for its 
green infrastructure, public transportation linkages, 
and pedestrian-friendly community design. The 
neighbourhood operates on a first-of-its-kind microgrid 
with two cogeneration plants that saves 25,000 MT of 
CO2 greenhouse gases (equal to the annual emissions of 
5,100 cars) from being emitted annually.

Hudson Yards is a model for stormwater reuse with rainfall 
collected from rooftops and public spaces and stored in 
a 60,000-gallon tank in the platform that forms the base 
of the neighbourhood. Stormwater is used to irrigate the 
more than 200 mature trees and 28,000 plants in the 
public park as well as in mechanical systems to conserve 
potable drinking water, reducing stress on New York’s 
sewer system.

Social Initiatives
The Investment Manager believes engaged human 
capital management is essential for an asset manager, as 
trained employees increasingly drive value in the data-
driven economy. The Investment Manager takes a long-
term view of employee evolution and invests in its people. 
It is also committed to innovating and evolving to meet 

30

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDGovernance Initiatives 
The Investment Manager strongly encourages good 
governance practice at all its investee businesses through 
formal and informal engagement. Each of Third Point’s 
fund structures has an independent Board or Unaffiliated 
Consultation Committee. Five of the six members of the 
Board of the Company are independent of the Investment 
Manager.

future employee needs, particularly in areas where talent 
is scarce, such as in data science and AI. Third Point is an 
Equal Opportunity Employer and has adopted fair chance 
hiring practices. The Investment Manager is committed 
to the benefits of a diverse workforce in perspective and 
background. Third Point offers internships to candidates 
through SEO, an organization that introduces historically 
underrepresented students to financial services. It also 
participates in industry initiatives to bring more women 
into asset management via involvement with Girls Who 
Invest. The organization’s goal is to have 30% of the 
world’s investable capital managed by women by 2030.

Philanthropy
Through the “Third Point Gives” programme, the 
Investment Manager offers its employees multiple 
opportunities to come together for service learning and 
contribute financially to the community. Consistent with 
Third Point values, Third Point Gives comprises three core 
elements:

	„ The Matching Gifts Programme seeks to encourage 
charitable giving by Third Point employees with 
matching eligible contributions up to $15,000 per 
employee per calendar year. 

	„ The Individual Philanthropy Programme seeks to 

empower Third Point employees to maximize their 
impact on the issues they care about most by providing 
opportunities to learn valuable techniques, strategies 
and approaches to effective philanthropy.

	„ The Team Philanthropy Programme seeks to unlock 
the power of teamwork and collaboration among 
Third Point employees to improve the world around 
them through joint effort on a shared philanthropic 
endeavour.

In 2020, Third Point launched an innovative Team 
Philanthropy project in partnership with a non-profit 
organization, the Ladies of Hope Ministries (“LOHM”), an 
organization dedicated to helping previously incarcerated 
women and their families re-integrate into society. 
Third Point is not only donating personal philanthropic 
capital from the CEO and many employees, but is also 
offering intellectual expertise in areas such as marketing, 
accounting, investing and legal services to help the 
organization scale more effectively.

Donor Advised Funds
In 2017, Third Point began to offer its employees a 
Donor Advised Fund (“DAF”) structure. A DAF allows an 
employee to set aside philanthropic capital in a structure 
that invests the charitable funds in Third Point’s hedge 
funds until the employee is prepared to allocate them 
to a non-profit. This allows employees to make annual 
contributions to a charitable foundation of their own, 
to have those funds grow over time, and to develop a 
philosophy around giving back.

Directors

The Directors of the Company during the year and to the 
date of this Report are as listed on pages 22 and 23 
of this Annual Report.

Directors’ Interests

Pursuant to an instrument of indemnity entered into 
between the Company and each Director, the Company 
has undertaken, subject to certain limitations, to 
indemnify each Director out of the assets and profits of 
the Company against all costs, charges, losses, damages, 
expenses and liabilities arising out of any claims made 
against them in connection with the performance of their 
duties as a Director of the Company.

Rupert Dorey and his wife Rosemary Dorey held 25,000 
shares between them as at 31 December 2022.

Huw Evans held 5,000 shares as at 31 December 2022.

Mr. Targoff holds the position of Chief Operating Officer, 
Chief Legal Officer and Partner of Third Point LLC.

Claire Whittet and her husband Martin Whittet held 
2,500 shares as at 31 December 2022 through their joint 
Retirement Annuity Trust Scheme (RATS).

Mr. Boléat and Ms. Gould were appointed to the Board 
effective 1 March 2022.

Corporate Governance

The Board is guided by the principles and 
recommendations of the Association of Investment 
Companies Code of Corporate Governance (“AIC Code”). 
The AIC Code addresses all the principles set out in the 
UK Corporate Governance Code (the “UK Code”), as well 
as setting out additional principles and recommendations 
on issues that are of specific relevance to investment 
companies. The UK Financial Reporting Council (“FRC”) 
has confirmed that investment companies which comply 
with the AIC Code will be treated as meeting their 
obligations under the UK Code and Section 9.8.10R(2) of 
the Listing Rules.

The Board has determined that reporting against the 
principles and recommendations of the AIC Code will 
provide appropriate information to Shareholders. The 
Company has complied with all the recommendations of 
the AIC Code and the relevant provisions of the UK Code, 
except as set out below.

The UK Code includes provisions relating to:

	„ the role of the chief executive;
	„ executive Directors’ remuneration; and
	„ the need for an internal audit function.

The Board considers these provisions are not relevant 
to the position of the Company, being an externally 
advised investment company with no executive directors 
or employees. The Company has therefore not reported 
further in respect of these provisions.

The Company does not have employees, hence no 
whistle-blowing policy is necessary. However, the Board, 
through the Management Engagement Committee 
(“MEC”), has satisfied itself that the Company’s service 
providers have appropriate whistleblowing policies and 
procedures and confirmation has been sought from the 
service providers that nothing has arisen under those 
policies and procedures which should be brought to 
the attention of the Board. Furthermore, the MEC, on 
an annual basis, ensures that service providers have 
appropriate anti money laundering, disaster recovery and 
risk monitoring policies in place.

The Code of Corporate Governance (the “Guernsey 
Code”) provides a framework that applies to all entities 
licensed by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission 
(“GFSC”) or which are registered or authorised as a 
collective investment scheme. Companies reporting 
against the UK Code or the AIC Code are deemed to 
comply with the Guernsey Code.

The Board confirms that, throughout the year covered in 
the Audited Financial Statements, the Company complied 
with the Guernsey Code, to the extent it was applicable 
based upon its legal and operating structure and its 
nature, scale and complexity.

The UK code is available on the FRC website www.frc.
org.uk and the AIC code on the AIC website www.theaic.
co.uk.

Mr. Targoff, the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Legal Officer and Partner of the Investment Manager, is not considered 
independent of the Company’s Investment Manager. All other Directors are considered by the Board to be independent.

The Board meets at least four times a year and in addition there is regular contact between the Board, the Investment 
Manager and Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services (Guernsey) Limited (the “Administrator” and 
“Corporate Secretary”). The Board requires to be supplied in a timely manner with information by the Investment Manager, 
the Administrator, and the Corporate Secretary and other advisors in a form and of a quality appropriate to enable it to 
discharge its duties. The Board, excluding Mr. Targoff, regularly reviews the performance of the Investment Manager 
and the Master Fund to ensure that performance is satisfactory and in accordance with the terms and conditions of 
the relative appointments and Prospectus. It carries out this review through consideration of a number of objective 
and subjective criteria and through a review of the terms and conditions of the advisors’ appointment with the aim of 
evaluating performance, identifying any weaknesses and ensuring value for money for the Company’s Shareholders.

The Company has no executive Directors or employees. All matters, including strategy, investment and dividend 
policies, gearing and corporate governance procedures are reserved for approval by the Board of Directors. The Board 
receives full information on the Company’s investment performance, assets, liabilities and other relevant information in 
advance of Board meetings.

Board Tenure and Succession Planning

As required by the AIC Code, every Director is subject to annual re-election by the Shareholders. Any directors 
appointed to the Board since the previous AGM also retire and stand for election. The Independent Directors take the 
lead in any discussions relating to the appointment or re-appointment of directors, initially through the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee and, when recruiting new directors, may use an independent recruitment firm.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Committees of the Board

The AIC Code requires the Company to appoint 
Nomination, Remuneration and Management 
Engagement Committees and the independent directors 
of the Board act as these committees. The Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee considers the composition 
of and recruitment to the Board and, when determining 
remuneration levels of the Directors, takes into 
account market practice, peer group statistics and the 
requirements of the role. Vivien Gould is Chairman of the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Before the commencement of any recruitment process, 
the Nomination and Remuneration Committee evaluate 
the balance of skills, knowledge, experience and diversity 
on the Board and, in the light of this evaluation, prepare 
a description of the role and capabilities required for a 
particular appointment. Appointments to the Board will 
continue to be based on the individual’s skills, experience 
and character, and will always be based on merit. New 
Directors receive an induction from the Investment 
Manager on joining the Board, and all Directors undertake 
relevant training as necessary.

The Company annually reviews its policy on the structure, 
size and composition of the Board. The Board is cognisant 
of the recommendations of the Parker Review in relation 
to targets for ethnic diversity, the FTSE Women Leaders 
Review in relation to targets for women on boards and the 
new FCA Listing Rules requirements on board diversity 
targets.  At 31 December 2022 independent members of 
the Board comprised three men and two women.

The function of the Management Engagement Committee 
is to ensure that the Company’s management agreement 
is competitive and reasonable for the Shareholders, 
along with the Company’s agreements with all other 
third party service providers (other than the external 
auditors). The Committee also reviews annually the 
performance of the Investment Manager with a view to 
determining whether to recommend to the Board that the 
Investment Manager’s mandate be renewed, subject to 
the specific notice period requirement of the agreement. 
The other third party service providers are also reviewed 
on an annual basis. Richard Boléat is Chairman of the 
Management Engagement Committee.

Audit Committee

The Company’s Audit Committee conducts formal 
meetings at least three times a year. Its functions 
include monitoring the Company’s internal control and 
risk management systems, oversight of the relationship 
with the External Auditor, including consideration of the 
appointment, independence, effectiveness of the audit, 
and remuneration of the auditors, and to review and 
recommend the Annual Report and audited financial 
statements, and the Interim Report and unaudited 

condensed interim financial statements to the Board 
of Directors. Huw Evans is Chairman of the Audit 
Committee.

Senior Independent Director

Claire Whittet is the Senior Independent Director.

Directors’ Duties and Responsibilities

The Directors have adopted a set of Reserved Powers, 
which establish the key purpose of the Board and detail 
its major duties. These duties cover the following areas of 
responsibility:

	„ Statutory obligations and public disclosure;
	„ Strategic matters and financial reporting;
	„ Board composition and accountability to Shareholders;
	„ Risk assessment and management, including reporting, 
compliance, monitoring, governance and control; and
	„ Other matters having material effects on the Company.

These Reserved Powers of the Board allow the Directors 
to discharge their fiduciary responsibilities and provide 
a set of parameters for measuring and monitoring the 
effectiveness of their actions.

The Directors are responsible for the overall management 
and direction of the affairs of the Company. The Company 
has no Executive Directors or employees. The Company 
invests all of its assets in shares of the Master Fund and 
Third Point LLC acts as Investment Manager to the Master 
Fund and is responsible for the discretionary investment 
management of the Master Fund’s investment portfolio 
under the terms of the Master Fund Prospectus.

Northern Trust International Fund Administration 
Services (Guernsey) Limited acts as Administrator 
(the “Administrator”) and Company Secretary and 
is responsible to the Board under the terms of the 
Administration Agreement. The Administrator is also 
responsible to the Board for ensuring compliance with 
the Rules and Regulations of The Companies (Guernsey) 
Law, London Stock Exchange listing requirements and 
observation of the Reserved Powers of the Board and in 
this respect the Board receives detailed quarterly reports.

The Directors have access to the advice and services of 
the Company Secretary who is responsible to the Board 
for ensuring that Board procedures are followed and that 
it complies with applicable rules and regulations of The 
Companies (Guernsey) Law, the GFSC and the London 
Stock Exchange. Individual Directors may, at the expense 
of the Company, seek independent professional advice on 
any matter that concerns them in the furtherance of their 
duties. The Company maintains appropriate Directors’ 
and Officers’ liability insurance in respect of legal 
action against its Directors on an ongoing basis and the 
Company has maintained appropriate Directors’ Liability 
Insurance cover throughout the year.

34

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDThe Board is also responsible for safeguarding the assets 
of the Company and for taking reasonable steps for the 
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Internal Control and Financial Reporting

The Directors acknowledge that they are responsible for 
establishing and maintaining the Company’s system of 
internal control and reviewing its effectiveness. Internal 
control systems are designed to manage rather than 
eliminate the failure to achieve business objectives and 
can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance 
against material misstatements or loss.

The Directors review all controls including operations, 
compliance and risk management. The key procedures 
which have been established to provide internal control are:

	„ Investment advisory services are provided by the 
Investment Manager. The Board is responsible 
for setting the overall investment policy, ensuring 
compliance with the Company’s Investment Strategy 
and monitoring the action of the Investment Manager 
and Master Fund at regular Board meetings. The 
Board has also delegated administration and company 
secretarial services to Northern Trust International 
Fund Administration Services (Guernsey) Limited 
(“NT”); however, it retains accountability for all 
functions it has delegated;

	„ The Board considers the process for identifying, 

evaluating and managing any significant risks faced 
by the Company on an on-going basis. It seeks to 
ensure that effective controls are in place to mitigate 
these risks and that a satisfactory compliance regime 
exists to ensure all local and international laws and 
regulations are upheld;

	„ The Board clearly defines the duties and 

responsibilities of its agents and advisors and 
appointments are made by the Board after due and 
careful consideration. The Board monitors the ongoing 
performance of such agents and advisors;

	„ The Investment Manager and NT maintain their own 

systems of internal control, on which they report to the 
Board. The Company, in common with other investment 
companies, does not have an internal audit function. 
The Audit Committee has considered the need for 
an internal audit function, but because of the internal 
control systems in place at the Investment Manager 
and NT, has decided it appropriate to place reliance on 
their systems and internal control procedures; and
	„ The systems are designed to ensure effectiveness and 
efficient operation, internal control and compliance 
with laws and regulations. In establishing the systems 
of internal control, regard is paid to the materiality of 
relevant risks.

Board Performance

The Board and Committees undertake formal annual 
evaluations of their own performance and that of the 
individual Directors. This process is conducted by the 
respective Chair reviewing individually with each of 
the Directors and members of the Committee their 
performance, contribution and commitment to the 
Company. In line with provision 6.2.14 of the AIC Code, 
the performance of the Chair of the Board is evaluated 
annually by the other independent Directors and relayed 
to the Chair of the Board by Claire Whittet who is the 
Senior Independent Director. An external evaluation of the 
Board’s performance was carried out by Lintstock Limited 
in February 2021. Lintstock did not raise any issues of 
significance.

Management of Principal Risks and 
Uncertainties

In considering the risks and uncertainties facing the 
Company, the Audit Committee reviews regularly a matrix 
which documents the principal and emerging risks and 
reports its findings to the Board.

This discipline is in accordance with the Guidance on Risk 
Management, Internal Control and Related Financial and 
Business Reporting, published by the FRC and has been 
in place for the year under review and up to the date of 
approval of the Audited Financial Statements.

The risk matrix document considers the following 
information:

	„ Reviewing the risks faced by the Company and the 

controls in place to address those risks;
	„ Identifying and reporting changes in the risk 

environment;

	„ Identifying and reporting changes in the operational 

controls; and

	„ Identifying and reporting on the effectiveness of 

controls and remediation of errors arising.

The Directors have acknowledged they are responsible 
for establishing and maintaining the Company’s system 
of internal control and reviewing its effectiveness by 
focusing on four key areas:

	„ Consideration of the investment advisory services 

provided by the Investment Manager;

	„ Consideration of the process for identifying, evaluating 
and managing any significant current and emerging 
risks faced by the Company on an ongoing basis;
	„ Clarity around the duties and responsibilities of the 
agents and advisors engaged by the Directors; and

	„ Reliance on the Investment Manager and 

Administrator maintaining their own systems of internal 
controls.

35

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Further discussion on Internal Control is documented under 
“Internal Control and Financial Reporting” set out above.

The risk matrix considers all the significant risks to which 
the Company has been exposed during the financial year 
and, from these, the Directors paid particular attention to 
the following principal risks and uncertainties:

	„ Discount to the NAV. The Board monitors the discount 

to NAV and maintains regular contact with the 
Investment Manager and Corporate Broker to assess 
the market for the Company’s shares. In addition, 
the Investment Manager, Corporate Broker and the 
Directors maintain regular contact with significant 
Shareholders in the Company. The Board approved a 
three-year programme in September 2019 under which 
the Company bought back approximately $200 million 
worth of its stock with the intention of narrowing the 
discount. This was broadly effective, provided liquidity 
to the market and contained discount volatility over the  
three year period. The programme was extended in 
September 2022 with of the order of a further $50 million 
allocated for the subsequent 12 months;

	„ Concentration of the Investor Base. During 2021 a 
minority of Shareholders petitioned the Board in an 
attempt to have the board follow policies which were 
in those Shareholders’ interests. Those shareholders 
agreed to withdraw their most recent requisition in 
February 2022 at the time the Company appointed two 
further Directors to the Board. The Directors receive 
quarterly reports on the shareholder base from the 
Corporate Broker and there is regular communication 
between the Directors and the Corporate Broker to 
identify any significant changes in the share register;

	„ Shareholder relations. The Board monitors key 

shareholder reports provided by the Corporate Broker 
at each Board Meeting. The Investment Manager 
prepares monthly updates on behalf of the Master 
Fund and maintains the Company website. The Board 
receives quarterly reports from the Corporate Broker and 
the Investment Manager on the major shareholdings. 
The Board and the Investment Manager’s investor 
relations personnel have continued its policy of active 
engagement with shareholders over the year;

	„ Performance of the Investment Manager. Through the 
Management Engagement Committee, the Directors 
review the performance of the Investment Manager 
on an annual basis. Daniel Loeb is CEO and CIO of the 
Investment Manager and his continuing involvement is a 
critical element of its success. The Board representatives 
conduct annual visits to the Investment Manager in New 
York, the most recent being in April 2023;

	„ Underlying investment performance of the Master 

Fund. The Directors receive monthly updates from the 
Investment Manager on the performance of the Master 

Fund and review the detailed performance at quarterly 
Board Meetings. The Board has access to the Investment 
Manager at all times on any potential question or issue;

	„ Geopolitical and economic risk. During the year 

under review, inflation emerged as a significant risk in 
developed economies coinciding with moves by Central 
Banks to tighten monetary policy. This was overlaid with 
uncertainties arising from the conflict in Ukraine leading 
to significant volatility in investment markets.  The 
Investment Manager monitors local and international 
risks and adjusts the portfolio of investments in the 
Master Fund accordingly;

	„ Liquidity of shares in the Master Fund. The Company 
relies on the redemption of shares in the Master Fund in 
order to meet its monthly expenses and share buybacks. 
The Directors receive reports from the Administrator 
each month as this takes place; and

	„ Valuation of investments. The valuation of the 

Company’s investment in the Master Fund is confirmed 
by the Administrator of the Master Fund, is checked by 
the Investment Manager and is reviewed as part of the 
Company’s annual audit. The Board makes enquiries 
of the Investment Manager to satisfy itself that there 
are satisfactory controls in place over the valuation 
processes within the Master Fund and the Master 
Partnership. The accounts of the Master Fund and the 
Master Partnership are both subject to annual audit.

It is expected that the principal risks and uncertainties listed 
above will apply to the Company for a minimum of the next 
six months.

Significant Events

A small group of shareholders started a campaign against 
the Board during 2021 which continued into the early part 
of 2022. The Board engaged with the requisitionists and, in 
February 2022, both the Company and the requisitionists 
came to a mutually agreed position to strengthen the Board, 
further endorsing its independence and capability. This then 
led to the appointment of Richard Boléat and Vivien Gould to 
the Board with effect from 1 March 2022. Mr. Rupert Dorey 
was appointed Chairman of the Board with effect from 18 
February 2022.

On 28 April 2022 the Company announced that 2,672,838 
TPIL Shares had been exchanged into Master Fund shares 
under the $75 million Exchange Facility announced on 11 
January 2022.

On 12 September 2022, the Company announced an 
extension to its buyback programme allocating of the order 
of $50 million to buying shares over the subsequent 12 
months. During the year ended 31 December 2022, a total 
of almost 2.3 million shares were repurchased under the 
buyback programme with a value of approximately $53 
million, at a weighted average discount to NAV of 12.6%. 

36

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDThis had the effect of accreting 27 cents per share to NAV.

There were no other events outside the ordinary course of business which, in the opinion of the Directors, may have had an 
impact on the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Relations with Shareholders

The Board welcomes Shareholders’ views and places great importance on communication with its Shareholders. The 
Board receives regular reports on the views of Shareholders and the Chairman and other Directors are available to meet 
Shareholders. Shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board should, in the first instance contact the Administrator, 
whose contact details can be found on the Company’s website (www.thirdpointlimited.com). The Annual General Meeting of 
the Company provides a forum for Shareholders to meet and discuss issues with the Directors of the Company. The fifteenth 
Annual General Meeting was held on 8 June 2022 with all proposed resolutions being passed by the Shareholders.

International Tax Reporting

For the purposes of the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Company is registered with the US Internal 
Revenue Services (“IRS”) as a Guernsey reporting Foreign Financial Institution (“FFI”). The Company has received a Global 
Intermediary Identification Number and can be found on the IRS FFI list.

The Common Reporting Standard (“CRS”) is a global standard for the automatic exchange of financial account information 
developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), which has been adopted by 
Guernsey and which came into effect on 1 January 2016.

The Board has taken the necessary action to ensure that the Company is compliant with Guernsey regulations and guidance 
in this regard.

Criminal Finances Act 2017

In respect of the UK Criminal Finances Act 2017 which introduced a new corporate criminal offence (“CCO”) of ‘failing to 
take reasonable steps to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion’, the Board confirms that it is committed to zero tolerance 
towards the criminal facilitation of tax evasion.

The Board also keeps under review developments involving other social, environmental and regulatory matters and will 
report on those to the extent they are considered relevant to the Company’s operations.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities in Respect 
of the Audited Financial Statements

	„ this Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements 
include information detailed in the Directors’ Report, 
the Investment Manager’s Review and Notes to the 
Audited Financial Statements, which provide a fair 
review of the information required by:
a)  DTR 4.1.8 of the Disclosure Guidance and 

Transparency Rules (“DTR”), being a fair review 
of the Company business and a description of 
the principal risks and uncertainties facing the 
Company; and

b)  DTR 4.1.11 of the DTR, being an indication of 

important events that have occurred since the 
ending of the financial year and the likely future 
development of the Company.

Rupert Dorey
Chairman

Huw Evans
Director

25 April 2023

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Audited 
Financial Statements in accordance with applicable 
Guernsey Law and accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America. Guernsey 
Company Law requires the Directors to prepare financial 
statements for each financial period which give a true and 
fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the 
net income or expense of the Company for that year.

In preparing these Audited Financial Statements the 
Directors should:

	„ select suitable accounting policies and then apply 

them consistently;

	„ make judgements and estimates that are reasonable 

and prudent;

	„ state whether the applicable accounting standards 

have been followed subject to any material departures 
disclosed and explained in the Audited Financial 
Statements; and

	„ prepare the Audited Financial Statements on a going 
concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume 
that the Company will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper 
accounting records which disclose with reasonable 
accuracy at any time the financial position of the 
Company and to enable them to ensure that the Audited 
Financial Statements comply with The Companies 
(Guernsey) Law, 2008. They are also responsible for the 
system of internal controls, safeguarding the assets of the 
Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the 
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors have responsibility to confirm that:

	„ there is no relevant audit information of which the 
Company’s Auditor is unaware and each Director 
has taken all the steps he/she ought to have taken 
as a Director to make himself aware of any relevant 
information and to establish that the Company’s 
Auditor is aware of that information;

	„ this Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements 
have been prepared in accordance with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of 
America and give a true and fair view of the financial 
position of the Company;

	„ this Annual Report and Audited Financial 

Statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and 
understandable and provide information necessary 
for the Shareholders to assess the Company’s 
performance, business model and strategy; and

38

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDDirectors’ Remuneration Report

The Board has prepared this report as part of its 
framework for corporate governance which, as described 
in the Directors’ Report, enables the Company to 
comply with the main requirements of the UK Corporate 
Governance Code published by the Financial Reporting 
Council.

An ordinary resolution for the approval of this report will 
be put to the Shareholders at the forthcoming AGM.

Remuneration Policy

The Board has appointed a Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee and the independent directors 
act as this committee. This Committee considers the 
composition of and recruitment to the Board, taking into 
account market practice, peer group statistics and the 
requirements of the role when determining remuneration 
levels of the Directors. As Mr Rupert Dorey was appointed 
Chairman of the Board with effect from 18 February 2022, 
he stood down from the Chair of the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee. This role was held briefly by 
Ms Claire Whittet before passing to Ms Vivien Gould on 1 
May 2022.

The Company’s policy is that the fees payable to the 
Directors should reflect the time spent by the Directors 
on the Company’s affairs and the responsibilities borne 
by the Directors and be sufficient to attract, retain 
and motivate directors of a quality required to run the 
Company successfully. The Chairman of the Board 
is paid a higher fee in recognition of his additional 
responsibilities, as is the Chairman of the Audit 

Committee. The policy is to review fee rates periodically, 
although such a review will not necessarily result in any 
changes to the rates, and account is taken of fees paid to 
directors of comparable companies.

There are no long term incentive schemes provided by the 
Company and no performance fees are paid to Directors.

No Director has a service contract with the Company 
but each of the Directors is appointed by a letter of 
appointment which sets out the main terms of their 
appointment. Director appointments can also be 
terminated in accordance with the Articles. Should 
Shareholders vote against a Director standing for re-
election, the Director affected will not be entitled to any 
compensation.

Directors are remunerated in the form of fees, payable 
quarterly in arrears, to the Director personally. No other 
remuneration or compensation was paid or payable by 
the Company during the year to any of the Directors apart 
from the reimbursement of allowable expenses.

At the AGM on 1 July 2020, shareholders approved an 
overall fee cap of £500,000 for the directors as a whole.

The fees for 2022 were as follows; Board Chairman 
- £76,000 per annum, Audit Chairman - £57,000 per 
annum and Director - £48,000 per annum. Josh Targoff 
has waived his fees. The Senior Independent Director, 
Nomination and Remuneration and Management 
Engagement Committee Chairs receive an additional 
£3,000 per annum.

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDReport of the Audit Committee

On the following pages, we present the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) 
Report for the year ended 31 December 2022, setting out the Audit Committee’s 
structure and composition, principal duties and key activities during the year. 

As in previous years, the Audit Committee has reviewed the Company’s financial reporting, the independence and 
effectiveness of the independent auditor, and the internal control and risk management systems of service providers. 
The Board is satisfied that for the year under review and thereafter the Audit Committee has recent and relevant 
commercial and financial knowledge.

Structure and Composition

The Audit Committee is chaired by Huw Evans, and during the year, its other members were Richard Boléat, Vivien 
Gould and Claire Whittet. The Audit Committee operates within clearly defined terms of reference.

The Audit Committee Terms of Reference provide that appointments to the Audit Committee shall be for a period of 
up to three years, which may be extended for two further three year periods, and thereafter annually, provided that the 
Director whose appointment is being considered remains an Independent Director for the period of extension.

It was announced on 18 February 2022 that Rupert Dorey had been appointed Chairman of the Company following the 
resignation of Steve Bates. He therefore stood down from his membership of the Audit Committee. Richard Boléat and 
Vivien Gould became members of the Audit Committee on 1 March 2022 when they were appointed to the Board.

The tenure of the current members of the Committee is set out below.

The Audit Committee conducts formal meetings at least three times a year. The table on page 33 sets out the number 
of Audit Committee meetings held during the year ended 31 December 2022 and the number of such meetings 
attended by each committee member. The Independent Auditor is invited to attend those meetings at which the annual 
and interim reports are considered. The Independent Auditor and the Audit Committee will meet together without 
representatives of either the Administrator or Investment Manager being present if either considers this to be necessary.

Principal Duties

The role of the Audit Committee includes:

	„ monitoring the integrity of the published financial statements of the Company;
	„ keeping under review the consistency and appropriateness of accounting policies on a year to year basis. Satisfying 
itself that the annual accounts, the interim statement of financial results and any other major financial statements 
issued by the Company follow generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and, in 
respect of the annual accounts, give a true and fair view of the Company and any associated undertakings’ affairs; 
matters raised by the external auditors about any aspect of the accounts or of the Company’s control and audit 
procedures are appropriately considered and, if necessary, brought to the attention of the Board for resolution;

	„ monitoring and reviewing the quality and effectiveness of the independent auditors and their independence;
	„ considering and making recommendations to the Board on the appointment, reappointment, replacement and 

remuneration of the Company’s independent auditor;

41

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022	„ monitoring and reviewing the internal control and risk management systems of the Company and its service 

providers; and

	„ considering at least once a year whether there is a need for an internal audit function.

The complete details of the Audit Committee’s formal duties and responsibilities are set out in the Audit Committee’s 
terms of reference, which can be obtained from the Company’s website.

Independent Auditor

The Audit Committee is also the forum through which the independent auditor (the “auditor”) reports to the Board of 
Directors. The objectivity of the auditor is reviewed by the Audit Committee which also reviews the terms under which 
the auditor is appointed to perform non-audit services. The Audit Committee reviews the scope and results of the audit, 
its cost effectiveness and the independence and objectivity of the auditor, with particular regard to non-audit fees. The 
Audit Committee has established pre-approval policies and procedures for the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP to 
provide non-audit services.

Ernst & Young LLP has been the independent auditor from the date of the initial listing on the London Stock Exchange.

The audit fees proposed by the auditors each year are reviewed by the Audit Committee taking into account 
the Company’s structure, operations and other requirements during the year and the Audit Committee makes 
recommendations to the Board.

Non-audit fees were paid to Ernst & Young LLP during the year in respect of the interim review of the Company’s 
condensed accounts to 30 June 2022. Ernst & Young LLP also provided tax compliance services. The Audit Committee 
considers Ernst & Young LLP to be independent of the Company.

Evaluations or Assessments Made During the Year

The following sections discuss the assessments made by the Audit Committee during the year:

Significant Areas of Focus for the Financial Statements
The Audit Committee’s review of the interim and annual financial statements focused on the valuation of the 
Company’s investment in the Master Fund. This represents substantially all the net assets of the Company and as 
such is the biggest factor in relation to the accuracy of the Audited Financial Statements. The holding in the Master 
Fund has been confirmed with the Company’s Administrator and the Master Fund. This investment has been valued in 
accordance with the Accounting Policies set out in Note 3 to the Audited Financial Statements. The Audit Committee 
has reviewed the Financial Statements of the Master Fund and their Accounting Policies and determined the fair 
value of the investment as at 31 December 2022 is reasonable. The Financial Statements of the Master Fund and the 
Master Partnership for the year ended 31 December 2022 were audited by Ernst & Young LLP in the US who issued an 
unmodified audit opinion dated 17 March 2023.

Effectiveness of the Audit
The Audit Committee had formal meetings with Ernst & Young LLP during the course of the year: 1) before the start of 
the audit to discuss formal planning, discuss any potential issues and agree the scope that will be covered and 2) after 
the audit work was concluded to discuss any significant matters arising.

The Board considered the effectiveness and independence of Ernst & Young LLP by using a number of measures, 
including but not limited to:

	„ the audit plan presented to them before the start of the audit;
	„ the audit results report including where appropriate, explanation for any variations from the original plan;
	„ changes to audit personnel;
	„ the auditor’s own internal procedures to identify threats to independence;
	„ feedback from both the Investment Manager and the Administrator; and
	„ confirmation from Ernst & Young LLP on their independence as additional comfort for the Audit Committee.

Further to the above, at the point of substantial conclusion of the 2022 audit, the Audit Committee performed a specific 
evaluation of the performance of the independent auditor. This is supported by the results of questionnaires completed 
by the Audit Committee covering areas such as quality of audit team, business understanding, audit approach and 
management.

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDUnder the Crown Dependency rules, ethical standards require the Board to consider the outsourcing of any non-audit 
services such as interim review, tax compliance, tax structuring, private letter rulings, accounting advice, quarterly 
reviews and disclosure on an annual basis. Although the review of the Interim Report and Unaudited Condensed 
Interim Financial Statements is deemed to be a non-audit service, the Board considers it most appropriate for the 
external auditors to carry out this review. The budget for the annual audit, the interim review and certain tax compliance 
work carried out by Ernst & Young LLP was pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Audit fees and Safeguards on Non-Audit Services
The table below summarises the remuneration payable by the Company to Ernst & Young LLP during the years ended 
31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021.

performed.

Audit Tender
It is best practice, as well as a legal requirement for public companies in the UK, that the audit of the Company is 
put out to tender at least every 10 years. Consequently, during 2021 the Audit Committee invited each of the big four 
accounting firms (including Ernst & Young LLP as the current auditor) to participate in a tender. With the exception of 
Ernst & Young LLP, the other firms declined to participate on the basis that they would not want to audit a feeder fund, 
such as the Company, if they did not also audit the Master Fund. The Board subsequently wrote to the Board of the 
Master Fund, which is domiciled in the Cayman Islands where there are no requirements to rotate auditors, requesting 
that if the Board of the Master Fund were to consider carrying out a tender of its audit, the Company would also like to 
participate in the process.

Internal Control
The Audit Committee has examined the need for an internal audit function. The Audit Committee considered that the 
systems and procedures employed by the Investment Manager and the Administrator, including their internal audit 
functions, provided sufficient assurance that a sound system of internal control, which safeguards the Company’s 
assets, has been maintained. An internal audit function specific to the Company is therefore considered unnecessary.

The Audit Committee has requested and received SOC1 or equivalent reports such as service provider assessment 
reports from the Company’s Administrator and Master Fund’s Administrators to enable it to fulfil its duties under 
its terms of reference. Representatives of the auditors, Investment Manager and the Administrator attend the Audit 
Committee meetings as a matter of practice and presentations are made by those attendees as and when required.

Conclusion and Recommendation

After reviewing various reports such as the operational and risk management framework and performance reports 
from management, liaising where necessary with Ernst & Young LLP, and assessing the significant areas of focus 
for financial statement issues listed on page 42, the Audit Committee is satisfied that these Audited Financial 
Statements appropriately address the critical judgements and key estimates (both in respect to the amounts reported 
and the disclosures).

The Audit Committee is also satisfied that the significant assumptions used for determining the value of assets and 
liabilities have been appropriately scrutinised, challenged and are sufficiently robust.

The Independent Auditor reported to the Audit Committee that no material misstatements were found in the course 
of its work. Furthermore, both the Investment Manager and the Administrator confirmed to the Audit Committee that 
they were not aware of any material misstatements including matters relating to presentation. The Audit Committee 
confirms that it is satisfied that the Independent Auditor has fulfilled its responsibilities with diligence and professional 
scepticism.

Consequent to the review process on the effectiveness of the independent audit and the review of audit services, the 
Audit Committee has recommended that Ernst & Young LLP be reappointed for the coming financial year.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Ernst & Young LLP has been the auditor of the Company since its incorporation in 2007 and the current audit partner is 
David Moore who has been in the role for five years. 2022 is David Moore’s last year in the role of audit partner for Third 
Point Investors Limited.

For any questions on the activities of the Audit Committee not addressed in the foregoing, a member of the Audit 
Committee will attend each Annual General Meeting to respond to such questions.

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDINDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S RE PORT

45

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of 
Third Point Investors Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Third Point Investors Limited (the “Company”) for the year ended 31 
December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Statement of Operations, the Statement of 
Changes in Net Assets, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes 1 to 14, including a summary of significant 
accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the financial statements:

	„ give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its results for the year 

then ended;

	„ have been properly prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of 

America; and

	„ have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable 
law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of 
the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 
financial statements, including the UK FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest entities, and we have 
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided to the Company and we remain 
independent of the Company in conducting the audit. 

Conclusions relating to going concern 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 
in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the 
Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:

	„ The audit engagement partner directed and supervised the audit procedures on going concern;
	„ We assessed the determination made by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Investment Manager that 
the Company is a going concern and hence the appropriateness of the financial statements to be prepared on a 
going concern basis; 

	„ We obtained the going concern assessment prepared by the Investment Manager for the period up until 30 June 

2024 and tested for arithmetical accuracy and reasonability;

	„ We independently assessed the appropriateness of the assumptions by reviewing historical forecasting accuracy; 
performing an evaluation of the levels of liquidity of the Company’s investments in the Master Partnership (Third 
Point Offshore Master Fund L.P.) through the Master Fund (Third Point Offshore Fund, Ltd.) for future share buyback 
plans, repayment of the loan and ongoing operating expenses; and applied a stress test to understand the impact on 
liquidity of the Company as a whole; 

	„ We assessed whether the liquidity of the Master Partnership at the year end, taking account of the level of 

redemptions, potential gating and its ability to meet periodic discretionary redemptions of its investors, cast 
significant doubt over the going concern status of the Company; and

	„ We assessed the disclosures in the annual report and financial statements relating to going concern to ensure they 

were fair, balanced and understandable.

46

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDBased on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions 
that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a 
period up until 30 June 2024.

In relation to the Company’s reporting on how they have applied the UK Corporate Governance Code, we have nothing 
material to add or draw attention to in relation to the directors’ statement in the financial statements about whether the 
directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant 
sections of this report. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a 
guarantee as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Overview of our audit approach

Key audit matters

	„ Investment Valuation
	„ Investment Existence and Ownership

Audit scope

	„ We performed an audit of the complete financial information of the 

Company for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Materiality

	„ Overall materiality of US$13.5m which represents 2% of net assets.

An overview of the scope of our audit 

Tailoring the scope
Our assessment of audit risk, our evaluation of materiality and our allocation of performance materiality determine our 
audit scope for the Company. This enables us to form an opinion on the financial statements. We take into account 
size, risk profile, the organisation of the Company and effectiveness of controls, including controls and changes in the 
business environment when assessing the level of work to be performed. 

All audit work was performed directly by the audit engagement team. The audit was led from Guernsey, and the audit 
team included individuals from the Guernsey and New York offices of Ernst & Young and operated as an integrated 
audit team. 

Climate change
The Company has explained in the “Section 172 Report” of their annual report climate-related risks and this forms part 
of the “Other information,” rather than the audited financial statements. Our procedures on these disclosures therefore 
consisted solely of considering whether they are materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge 
obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated.

Our audit effort in considering climate change was focused on the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures in the 
financial statements as set out in Note 3 and the conclusion that there was not a material impact on the recognition and 
separate measurement considerations of the assets and liabilities of the Company as at 31 December 2022.

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the 
financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement 
(whether or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those which had the greatest effect on: the 
overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These 
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in our opinion thereon, 
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Key observations 
communicated to  
the Audit Committee 

We confirm that there 
were no matters identified 
during our work on 
valuation of investments 
that we wanted to bring to 
the attention of the Audit 
Committee.

We confirm there were 
no matters identified 
during our audit work on 
existence and ownership 
of investments that we 
wanted to bring to the 
attention of the Audit 
Committee.

Risk

Our response to the risk

Valuation of investments (US$822m, 
PY comparative US$1,202m)

Refer to the Report of the Audit 
Committee (pages 41 to 44); 
Accounting policies (pages 58 to 
60).

The investments held are measured 
at fair value through profit or loss, 
and their fair value is determined 
by reference to the published NAV 
per share of the investee fund, 
as calculated by its independent 
Administrator. The valuation risk 
considers the risk of an error in the 
application of the published NAV per 
share, obtained from the independent 
Administrator of the investee fund, 
when calculating the fair value of the 
Company’s investments, as well as 
the effect on valuation of any gating/
suspension of redemptions by the 
investee fund.

Investment existence and 
ownership (US$822m, PY 
comparative US$1,202m)

Refer to the Report of the Audit 
Committee (pages 41 to 44); 
Accounting policies (pages 58 to 
60). 

Risk that the investments presented in 
the financial statements do not exist 
or the Company does not have the 
rights to cash flows derived from them. 
Failure to obtain good title exposes the 
Company to significant risk of loss.

Our response comprised of 
substantive audit testing of the 
investment valuation, including:

	„ Agreeing the valuation per share 
of the Company’s investments in 
the investee fund to the NAV per 
share of the investee fund in the 
confirmation obtained from its 
independent Administrator;

	„ Agreeing the valuation per share of 
the Company’s investments in the 
investee fund to the NAV per share 
of the investee fund per its audited 
financial statements for the year 
ended 31 December 2022, which 
were approved on 17 March 2023;

	„ Directing Ernst & Young in New 
York to perform testing on our 
behalf and reporting that no 
material adjustments to the NAV 
were required; and

	„ Reviewing the subscriptions and 
redemptions schedule of the 
investee fund around the year-end 
date to assess the liquidity of the 
Company’s investments in the 
investee fund.

Our response comprised the 
performance of substantive audit 
testing of investment existence and 
ownership including:

	„ Obtaining a confirmation, as at 31 

December 2022, of the Company’s 
holdings in the investee fund into 
which the Company invests, from 
the independent Administrator of 
the investee fund, and agreeing it 
to the accounting records of the 
Company; and

	„ Agreeing supporting documentation 
for all additions and disposals of 
holdings in the investee fund that 
took place during the year ended 31 
December 2022 and agreeing the 
details to the accounting records of 
the Company.

48

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDOur application of materiality 

Other information 

We apply the concept of materiality in planning and 
performing the audit, in evaluating the effect of identified 
misstatements on the audit and in forming our audit 
opinion. 

Materiality
The magnitude of an omission or misstatement that, 
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be 
expected to influence the economic decisions of the 
users of the financial statements. Materiality provides a 
basis for determining the nature and extent of our audit 
procedures.

We determined materiality for the Company to be 
US$13.5million (2021: US$21.1million), which is 
approximately 2% (2021: 2%) of net assets. We believe 
that net assets provides us with an appropriate basis 
for audit materiality as it is a key published performance 
measure and is a key metric used by management in 
assessing and reporting on overall performance. 

Performance materiality
The application of materiality at the individual account 
or balance level. It is set at an amount to reduce to an 
appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate 
of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds 
materiality.

On the basis of our risk assessments, together with our 
assessment of the Company’s overall control environment, 
our judgement was that performance materiality was 75% 
(2021: 75%) of our planning materiality, namely US$10.2m 
(2021: US$15.9m). We have set performance materiality 
at this percentage because we have considered the 
likelihood of misstatements to be low. We have considered 
both quantitative and qualitative factors when determining 
the expected level of misstatements and setting the 
performance materiality at this level.

Reporting threshold
An amount below which identified misstatements are 
considered as being clearly trivial.

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would 
report to them all uncorrected audit differences in excess 
of US$0.68m (2021: US$1.1m), which is set at 5% (2021: 
5%) of planning materiality, as well as differences below 
that threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on 
qualitative grounds. 

We evaluate any uncorrected misstatements against both 
the quantitative measures of materiality discussed above 
and in light of other relevant qualitative considerations in 
forming our opinion.

The other information comprises the information included 
in the Annual Report set out on pages 1 to 44, other 
than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 
thereon. The directors are responsible for the other 
information contained within the annual report. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover 
the other information and, except to the extent otherwise 
explicitly stated in this report, we do not express any form 
of assurance conclusion thereon. 

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, 
in doing so, consider whether the other information is 
materially inconsistent with the financial statements 
or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit 
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we 
identify such material inconsistencies or apparent 
material misstatements, we are required to determine 
whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the 
financial statements themselves. If, based on the work 
we have performed, we conclude that there is a material 
misstatement of the other information, we are required to 
report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by 
exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following 
matters in relation to which The Companies (Guernsey) 
Law, 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

	„ proper accounting records have not been kept by the 

Company; or

	„ the financial statements are not in agreement with the 

Company’s accounting records and returns; or

	„ we have not received all the information and 

explanations we require for our audit.

Corporate Governance Statement

We have reviewed the directors’ statement in relation 
to going concern, longer-term viability and that part of 
the Corporate Governance Statement relating to the 
Company’s compliance with the provisions of the UK 
Corporate Governance Code specified for our review by 
the Listing Rules.

Based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we 
have concluded that each of the following elements of the 
Corporate Governance Statement is materially consistent 
with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained 
during the audit:

49

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022	„ Directors’ statement with regards to the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis of accounting and any 

material uncertainties identified set out on page 26;

	„ Directors’ explanation as to its assessment of the Company’s prospects, the period this assessment covers and why 

the period is appropriate set out on page 25;

	„ Director’s statement on whether it has a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in 

operation and meets its liabilities set out on page 26;

	„ Directors’ statement on fair, balanced and understandable set out on page 38;

	„ The section of the Annual Report that describes the review of effectiveness of risk management and internal control 

systems set out on page 35; and;

	„ The section describing the work of the audit committee set out on pages 41 to 42.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 38, the directors are responsible 
for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such 
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue 
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis 
of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 
ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are 
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, 
including fraud 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures 
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. The risk of not detecting a 
material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 
deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to 
which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with 
governance of the Company and management. 

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the Company and 
determined that the most significant are:

	„ Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) Listing Rules
	„ Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (“DTR”) of the FCA
	„ The UK Corporate Governance Code 
	„ The 2019 AIC Code of Corporate Governance
	„ The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 

We understood how the Company is complying with those frameworks by: 

	„ Discussing the processes and procedures used by the Directors, the Investment Manager, the Company Secretary 

and Administrator to ensure compliance with the relevant frameworks;

	„ Reviewing internal reports that evidenced quarterly compliance testing; and
	„ Inspecting any correspondence with regulators

50

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDWe assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud 
might occur by undertaking the audit procedures set out in Key Audit Matters section above and reading the financial 
statements to check that the disclosures are consistent with the relevant regulatory requirements; and

Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and 
regulations. Our procedures involved:

	„ Making enquiries and gaining an understanding of how those charged with governance, the Investment Manager, 
the Company Secretary and Administrator identify instances of non-compliance by the Company with relevant laws 
and regulations;

	„ Inspecting the relevant policies, processes and procedures to further our understanding;
	„ Enquiring of the Company’s nominated Compliance Officer;
	„ Reviewing internal compliance reporting, Board and Audit Committee minutes; 
	„ Inspecting correspondence with regulators; and 
	„ Obtaining relevant written representations from the Board of Directors 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting 
Council’s website at https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Other matters we are required to address 

	„ Following the recommendation from the audit committee, we were appointed by the Company to audit the 

financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2007 and subsequent financial periods. We signed an initial 
engagement letter on 12 November 2007. 

	„ The period of total uninterrupted engagement including previous renewals and reappointments is sixteen years, 

covering the years ending 31 December 2007 to 31 December 2022.

	„ The audit opinion is consistent with the additional report to the audit committee.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Section 262 of The Companies 
(Guernsey) Law, 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those 
matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted 
by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members as a 
body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022Notes to the Audited Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022

1. The Company

Third Point Investors Limited (the “Company”) is an authorised closed-ended investment company incorporated 
in Guernsey on 19 June 2007 for an unlimited period, with registration number 47161. The Company commenced 
operations on 25 July 2007.

2. Organisation

Investment Objective and Policy
The Company’s investment objective is to provide its Shareholders with consistent long term capital appreciation, 
utilising the investment skills of the Investment Manager, through investment of all of its capital (net of short-term 
working capital requirements) through a master-feeder structure in shares of Third Point Offshore Fund, Ltd. (the 
“Master Fund”), an exempted company formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands on 21 October 1996.

The Master Fund’s investment objective is to seek to generate consistent long-term capital appreciation, by investing 
capital in securities and other instruments in select asset classes, sectors and geographies, by taking long and short 
positions. The Master Fund is managed by the Investment Manager and the Investment Manager’s implementation of 
the Master Fund’s investment policy is the main driver of the Company’s performance.

The Master Fund is a limited partner of , and invests all of its investable capital in, Third Point Offshore Master Fund 
L.P. (the “Master Partnership”), an exempted limited partnership organised under the laws of the Cayman Islands, of 
which Third Point Advisors II L.L.C., an affiliate of the Investment Manager, is the general partner. Third Point LLC is the 
Investment Manager to the Company, the Master Fund and the Master Partnership. The Master Fund and the Master 
Partnership share the same investment objective, strategies and restrictions as described above.

Investment Manager
The Investment Manager is a limited liability company formed on 28 October 1996 under the laws of the State of 
Delaware. The Investment Manager was appointed on 29 June 2007 and is responsible for the management and 
investment of the Company’s assets on a discretionary basis in pursuit of the Company’s investment objective, subject 
to the control of the Company’s Board and certain borrowing and leveraging restrictions.

During the year ended 31 December 2022, the Company paid to the Investment Manager at the level of the Master 
Partnership a fixed management fee of 1.25 percent of NAV per annum. Under the Investment Management 
Agreement, had the NAV of the Master Fund increased over the year, the Investment Manager would also have been 
entitled to a general partner incentive allocation of 20 percent of the Master Fund’s NAV growth (“Full Incentive Fee”) 
invested in the Master Partnership, subject to certain conditions and related adjustments, by the Master Fund. The 
general partner receives an incentive allocation equal to 20% of the net profit allocated to each Shareholder invested 
in each series of Class YSP shares. If a Shareholder invested in Third Point Offshore Fund, Ltd. (the “Feeder Fund”) has 
a net loss during any fiscal year and, during subsequent years, there is a net profit attributable to such Shareholder, 
the Shareholder must recover the amount of the net loss attributable in the prior years before the General Partner is 
entitled to incentive allocation. Class YSP shares are subject to a 25% investor level gate. The Company’s investment in 
the Master Fund is subject to an investor- level gate whereby a Shareholder’s aggregate redemptions will be limited to 
25%, 33.33%, 50%, and 100% of the cumulative net asset value of such Class YSP shares held by the Shareholder as of 
any four consecutive quarters. Redemptions are permitted on a monthly basis but not to exceed these thresholds.

Additionally, the Master Fund has a 20% fund-level gate. The fund level gate allows for redemptions up to 20% of the 
Master Fund’s assets on a quarterly basis, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Master Fund. The 
Company was allocated US$nil (31 December 2021: US$ 52,989,103) of incentive fees at the Master Fund level for the 
year ended 31 December 2022.

3. Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of Presentation
These Audited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with relevant accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The functional and presentation currency of the Company is 
United States Dollars (“$US”).

58

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDThe Directors have determined that the Company is an investment company in conformity with US GAAP. Therefore 
the Company follows the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies in the Financial Accounting 
Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) 946, Financial Services — Investment 
Companies (‘‘ASC 946’’).

The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the Company:

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and for the Statement of Cash Flows is unrestricted and comprises cash 
at bank and on hand.

Due from broker
Due from broker includes cash balances held at the Company’s clearing broker at 31 December 2022. The Company 
clears all of its securities transactions through a major international securities firm, UBS (the “Prime Broker”), pursuant 
to agreements between the Company and Prime Broker.

Redemptions Receivable
Redemptions receivable are capital withdrawals from the Master Fund which have been requested but not yet settled 
as at 31 December 2022.

Valuation of Investments
The Company records its investment in the Master Fund at fair value. The Board has concluded specifically that 
climate change, including physical and transition risks, does not have a material impact on the recognition and 
separate measurement considerations of the assets and liabilities of the Company in the financial statements as at 31 
December 2022, but recognises that climate change may have an effect on the investments held in the Master Fund. 
Fair values are generally determined utilising the net asset value (“NAV”) provided by, or on behalf of, the underlying 
Investment Manager of the investment fund. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, fair value is defined as the price the 
Company would receive upon selling a security in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or 
most advantageous market of the security. During the year, the Company owned Class YSP shares of the Master Fund. 
During the year, the Company recorded non-cash redemptions of US$125,882,030 (348,786 shares) for the cancellation 
of the Company shares under the share buyback programme and the Exchange Facility and redeemed US$8,825,000 
(25,860 shares) to pay Company expenses.

The following schedule details the movements in the Company’s holdings in the Master Fund over the year. With effect 
from 1 January 2022, the Company elected to participate in side-pocket investments within the Master Fund and, from 
that date, the Class Y shares held by the Company were designated as Class YSP shares.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements  31 December 2022The valuation of securities held by the Master Partnership, in which the Master Fund directly invests, is discussed in 
the notes to the Master Partnership’s Audited Financial Statements. The net asset value of the Company’s investment 
in the Master Fund reflects its fair value. At 31 December 2022, the Company’s US Dollar shares represented 15.6% (31 
December 2021: 14.74%) of the Master Fund’s NAV.

The Company has adopted ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that calculate Net Asset Value 
per Share (or its equivalent) (“ASU 2015-07”), in which certain investments measured at fair value using the net asset 
value per share method (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient are not required to be categorised in the fair value 
hierarchy. Accordingly the Company has not levelled applicable positions.

Uncertainty in Income Tax
ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course 
of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more- likely-than-not” of being 
sustained by the applicable tax authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions deemed to 
meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the year of determination. 
Management has evaluated the implications of ASC 740 and has determined that it has not had a material impact on 
these Audited Financial Statements.

Income and Expenses
The Company records its proportionate share of the Master Fund’s income, expenses and realised and unrealised 
gains and losses on a monthly basis. In addition, the Company accrues interest income, to the extent it is expected to 
be collected, and other expenses.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of Audited Financial Statements in conformity with US GAAP may require management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying 
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Other than what is underlying in the Master Fund and the 
Master Partnership, the Company does not use any material estimates in respect of the Audited Financial Statements.

Going Concern
The Master Fund Shares are liquid and can be converted to cash to meet liabilities as they fall due. Although these 
shares are subject to a 25% quarterly investor level redemption gate, the Board considers this to be sufficient for 
normal requirements. After due consideration, and having made due enquiry, given the nature of the Company and its 
investments, the Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing 
these Audited Financial Statements for the period through 30 June 2024.

Foreign Exchange
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United 
States Dollars using exchange rates at the reporting date. Purchases and sales of investments and income and 
expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the date of such 
transaction. All foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations.

Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has not early adopted any standards, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but are not yet 
effective. The amendments and interpretations which apply for the first time in 2022 have been assessed and do not 
have an impact on the Audited Financial Statements.

Credit facility
The Company accounts for the credit facility as a liability, initially recognized at the amount drawn less any related 
costs. Issuance costs are amortized and recognized as additional interest expense over the life of the loan. These 
expenses will impact the Company’s net income for the remaining amortization period. The liability is adjusted for the 
repayment of principal, accrual of interest and amortization of issuance costs. At maturity of the facility, the Company 
expects to make a payment in cash to the issuer for release of any related obligations.

4. Credit Facility

On 1 September 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for a credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., to 
employ gearing within the Company. The credit facility allows the Company to borrow $150 million at a rate of LIBOR 
plus 2.4% for a period of two years. The investment in the Master Fund serves as the security for the credit facility. The 
credit facility matures on 31 August 2023. The agreement provides that the Company will pay interest on a quarterly 
basis. The credit facility was fully drawn by 31 December 2021 and the proceeds were invested in shares in the Master 

60

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDFund. In conjunction with the negotiation and execution of the agreement there were costs incurred by the Company. 
The Company paid the issuer of the facility US$375,000 as a structuring fee and paid other loan related costs, such 
as legal costs, of US$1,349,829 which is included as a direct reduction in the liability on the Statement of Assets and 
Liabilities expensed over the life of the facility.

5. Material Agreements

Management and Incentive fees
The Investment Manager was appointed by the Company to invest its assets in pursuit of the Company’s investment 
objectives and policies. As disclosed in Note 2, the Investment Manager is remunerated by the Master Partnership by 
way of management fees and incentive fees.

Administration fees
Under the terms of an Administration Agreement dated 29 June 2007, the Company appointed Northern Trust 
International Fund Administration Services (Guernsey) Limited as Administrator (the “Administrator”) and Corporate 
Secretary.

The Administrator is paid fees based on the NAV of the Company, payable quarterly in arrears. The fee is at a rate of 2 
basis points of the NAV of the Company for the first £500 million of NAV and a rate of 1.5 basis points for any NAV above 
£500 million. This fee is subject to a minimum of £4,250 per month. The Administrator is also entitled to an annual 
corporate governance fee of £30,000 for its company secretarial and compliance activities.

In addition, the Administrator is entitled to be reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the course of carrying out 
its duties, and may charge additional fees for certain other services.

Total Administrator expenses during the year amounted to US$138,382 (31 December 2021: US$194,267) with 
US$3,007 outstanding (31 December 2021: US$3,386) at the year-end.

VoteCo
The Company has entered into a support and custody agreement with Third Point Offshore Independent Voting 
Company Limited (“VoteCo”) whereby, in return for the services provided by VoteCo, the Company will provide VoteCo 
with funds from time to time in order to enable VoteCo to meet its obligations as they fall due. Under this agreement, 
the Company has also agreed to pay all the expenses of VoteCo, including the fees of the directors of VoteCo, the fees 
of all advisors engaged by the directors of VoteCo and premiums for directors and officers insurance. The Company 
has also agreed to indemnify the directors of VoteCo in respect of all liabilities that they may incur in their capacity as 
directors of VoteCo. The expense paid by the Company on behalf of VoteCo during the year is outlined in the Statement 
of Operations on page 55 and amounted to US$83,087 (31 December 2021: US$115,481). As at 31 December 2022 
expenses accrued by the Company on behalf of VoteCo amounted to US$11,728 (31 December 2021: US$23,525).

6. Directors’ Fees
At the AGM in July 2020 Shareholders approved an annual fee cap for the directors as a whole of £500,000.

The Directors’ fees during the year amounted to £269,000 (31 December 2021: £203,013) with £nil outstanding (31 
December 2021: £nil) at the year-end.

The current fee rates for the individual Directors are as follows;

Voting Rights
Ordinary Shares carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company and to receive any dividends, attributable 
to the Ordinary Shares as a class, declared by the Company and, in a winding-up will be entitled to receive, by way of 
capital, any surplus assets of the Company attributable to the Ordinary Shares as a class in proportion to their holdings 
remaining after settlement of any outstanding liabilities of the Company. B Shares also carry the right to vote at general 
meetings of the Company but carry no rights to distribution of profits or in the winding-up of the Company.

As prescribed in the Company’s Articles, each Shareholder present at general meetings of the Company shall, upon a 
show of hands, have one vote. Upon a poll, each Shareholder shall, in the case of a separate class meeting, have one 
vote in respect of each Share or B Share held and, in the case of a general meeting of all Shareholders, have one vote in 

62

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDrespect of each Share or B Share held. Fluctuations in currency rates will not affect the relative voting rights applicable 
to the Shares and B Shares. In addition all of the Company’s Shareholders have the right to vote on all material changes 
to the Company’s investment policy.

Repurchase of Shares
At each AGM, the Directors seek authority from the shareholders to purchase in the market for the forthcoming year up 
to 14.99 percent of the Shares in issue. Pursuant to this repurchase authority, the Company, through the Master Fund, 
commenced a share repurchase program in 2007. The Shares initially purchased were held by the Master Partnership. 
The Master Partnership’s gains or losses and implied financing costs related to the shares purchased through the 
share purchase programme are entirely allocated to the Company’s investment in the Master Fund.

In September, 2019, it was announced that the Company, again through the Master Fund, would seek to buy back, at 
the Board’s discretion and subject to the requirement to buy no more than 14.99% of its outstanding stocks between 
general meetings, up to $200 million worth of stock over the subsequent three years. The buy back programme was 
extended in September 2022 when a further $50 million was allocated to buying back shares over the subsequent 12 
months. Any shares traded mid-month are purchased and held by the Master Partnership until the Company is able to 
cancel the shares following each month-end. As at 31 December 2022, the Master Partnership held 170,120 shares of 
the Company – these shares were subsequently cancelled in January 2023.

Further issue of Shares
Under the Articles, the Directors have the power to issue further shares on a non-pre-emptive basis. If the Directors 
issue further Shares, the issue price will not be less than the then-prevailing estimated weekly NAV per Share of the 
relevant class of Shares.

8. Taxation

The Fund is exempt from taxation in Guernsey under the provisions of the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) 
Ordinance 1989.

9. Calculation of Net Asset Value

The NAV of the Company is equal to the value of its total assets less its total liabilities. The NAV per Share is calculated 
by dividing the NAV by the number of Ordinary Shares in issue on that day.

10. Related Party Transactions

At 31 December 2022, other investment funds owned by or affiliated with the Investment Manager owned 5,705,443 (31 
December 2021: 5,705,443) US Dollar Shares in the Company. Refer to note 5 and note 6 for additional Related Party 
Transaction disclosures.

11. Significant Events

A small group of shareholders started a campaign against the Board during 2021 which continued into the early part 
of 2022. The Board engaged with the requisitionists and, in February 2022, both the Company and the requisitionists 
came to a mutually agreed position to strengthen the Board, further endorsing its independence and capability. This 
then led to the appointment of Richard Boléat and Vivien Gould to the Board with effect from 1 March 2022. Mr. Rupert 
Dorey was appointed Chairman of the Board with effect 18 February 2022.

On 28 April 2022 the Company announced that 2,672,838 TPIL Shares had been exchanged into Master Fund shares 
under the $75 million Exchange Facility announced on 11 January 2022.

On 12 September 2022, the Company announced an extension to its buyback programme allocating of the order of $50 
million to buying shares over the subsequent 12 months.

In the year to 31 December 2022, almost 2.3 million shares were repurchased under the buyback programme with a 
value of approximately $53 million, at a weighted average discount to NAV of 12.6%. This had the effect of accreting 27 
cents per share to NAV.

There were no other events during the financial year outside the ordinary course of business which, in the opinion of 
the Directors, may have had an impact on the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Notes

1.  A member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of the 

member’s rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must 
attend the meeting for the member’s vote to be counted. If a member appoints more than one proxy to attend the 
meeting, each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by the 
member. If a member wishes to appoint more than one proxy they may do so at www.signalshares.com.

2.  To be effective, the proxy vote must be submitted at www.signalshares.com so as to have been received by the 

Company’s registrars not less than 48 hours (excluding weekends and public holidays) before the time appointed for 
the meeting or any adjournment of it. By registering on the Signal shares portal at www.signalshares.com, you can 
manage your shareholding, including:
- cast your vote
- change your dividend payment instruction
- update your address
- select your communication preference.
Any power of attorney or other authority under which the proxy is submitted must be returned to the Company’s 
Registrars, LINK Group, PXS 1, Link Group, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL.  If a paper form of 
proxy is requested from the registrar, it should be completed and returned to LINK Group, PXS 1, Link Group, Central 
Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL to be received not less than 48 hours before the time of the meeting.

3.  Pursuant to Regulation 41(1) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended), the Company has 

specified that only those members registered on the register of members of the Company at close of business on 
5 June 2023 (the Specified Time) (or, if the meeting is adjourned to a time more than 48 hours after the Specified 
Time, by close of business on the day which is two days prior to the time of the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled 
to attend and vote at the meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. If the 
meeting is adjourned to a time not more than 48 hours after the Specified Time, that time will also apply for the 
purpose of determining the entitlement of members to attend and vote (and for the purposes of determining the 
number of votes they may cast) at the adjourned meeting. Changes to the register of members after the relevant 
deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

4.  CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service 

may do so for the meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST 
Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have 
appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be 
able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

5. 

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST 
message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland 
Limited’s specifications and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the 
CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the 
appointment of a proxy, or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to 
be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Company’s registrars (ID: RA10) by the latest time(s) for receipt 
of proxy appointments specified in Note 3 above. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time 
(as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer’s 
agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST . After this time, any 
change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through 
other means. 

6.  CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that 

Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. 
Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is 
the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member 
or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting 
service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of 
the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST 
sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning 
practical limitations of the CREST system and timings (www.euroclear.com/CREST).

7.  The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of 

the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended).

8.  Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its 

behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.

9.  Any electronic address provided either in this Notice or in any related documents (including the Form of Proxy) may 

not be used to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.

10. If you need help with voting online, or require a paper proxy form, please contact our Registrar, Link Group by email

excluding public holidays in England and Wales. Submission of a Proxy vote shall not preclude a member from 
attending and voting in person at the meeting in respect of which the proxy is appointed or at any adjournment 
thereof.

THIRD POINT INVESTORS LIMITEDLegal Information

Third Point Investors Limited (“TPIL”) is a feeder fund listed on the London Stock Exchange that invests substantially all of its assets in Third Point Offshore 
Fund, Ltd (“Third Point Offshore”). Third Point Offshore is managed by Third Point LLC (“Third Point” or “Investment Manager”), an SEC-registered investment 
adviser headquartered in New York.

Unless otherwise noted, all performance, portfolio exposure and other portfolio data included herein relates to the Third Point Offshore Master Fund L.P. (the 
“Fund”). Exposures are categorized in a manner consistent with the Investment Manager’s classifications for portfolio and risk management purposes.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and there can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve results comparable to those of prior 
results, or that the Funds will be able to implement their respective investment strategy or achieve investment objectives or otherwise be profitable. 

This document is being furnished to you on a confidential basis to provide summary information regarding a potential investment in the Funds and may not be 
reproduced or used for any other purpose. Your acceptance of this document constitutes your agreement to (i) keep confidential all the information contained 
in this document, as well as any information derived by you from the information contained in this document (collectively, “Confidential Information”) and 
not disclose any such Confidential Information to any other person, (ii) not use any of the Confidential Information for any purpose other than to consider an 
investment in the Funds, (iii) not use the Confidential Information for purposes of trading any security, (iv) not copy this document without the prior written 
consent of Third Point and (v) promptly return this document and any copies hereof to Third Point, or destroy any electronic copies hereof, in each case upon 
Third Point’s request (except that you may retain copies as required by your compliance program). The distribution of this document in certain jurisdictions 
may be restricted by law. Prospective investors should inform themselves as to the legal requirements and tax consequences of an investment in the Funds 
within the countries of their citizenship, residence, domicile and place of business. 

All profit and loss or performance results are based on the net asset value of fee-paying investors only and are presented net of management fees, brokerage 
commissions, administrative expenses, any other expenses of the Funds, and accrued incentive allocation, if any, and include the reinvestment of all dividends, 
interest, and capital gains. From Fund inception through December 31, 2019, each the Fund’s historical performance has been calculated using the actual 
management fees and incentive allocations paid by the Fund. The actual management fees and incentive allocations paid by the Fund reflect a blended rate 
of management fees and incentive allocations based on the weighted average of amounts invested in different share classes subject to different management 
fee and/or incentive allocation terms. Such management fee rates have ranged over time from 1% to 3% (in addition to leverage factor multiple, if applicable) 
per annum. The amount of incentive allocations applicable to any one investor in the Fund will vary materially depending on numerous factors, including 
without limitation: the specific terms, the date of initial investment, the duration of investment, the date of withdrawal, and market conditions. As such, the net 
performance shown for the Fund from inception through December 31, 2019 is not an estimate of any specific investor’s actual performance. During this 
period, had the highest management fee and incentive allocation been applied solely, performance results would likely be lower. For the period beginning 
January 1, 2020, each Fund’s historical performance shows indicative performance for a new issues eligible investor in the highest management fee (2% per 
annum), in addition to leverage factor multiple, if applicable, and incentive allocation rate (20%) class of the Fund, who has participated in all side pocket private 
investments (as applicable) from March 1, 2021 onward. An individual investor’s performance may vary based on timing of capital transactions. The market 
price for new issues is often subject to significant fluctuation, and investors who are eligible to participate in new issues may experience significant gains or 
losses. An investor who invests in a class of Interests that does not participate in new issues may experience performance that is different, perhaps materially, 
from the performance reflected above due to factors such as the performance of new issues. The inception date for Third Point Offshore Fund, Ltd. is 
December 1, 1996, Third Point Partners L.P. is June 1, 1995, Third Point Partners Qualified L.P. is January 1, 2005, Third Point Ultra Ltd. is May 1, 1997, and Third 
Point Ultra Onshore LP is January 2019. All performance results are estimates and should not be regarded as final until audited financial statements are issued. 

While the performances of the Funds have been compared here with the performance of well-known and widely recognized indices, the indices have not been 
selected to represent an appropriate benchmark for the Funds whose holdings, performance and volatility, among other things, may differ significantly from the 
securities that comprise the indices. Investors cannot invest directly in an index (although one can invest in an index fund designed to closely track such index). 
Indices performance includes reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, if any. 

All information provided herein is for informational purposes only and should not be deemed as a recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell securities 
including any interest in any fund managed or advised by Third Point. All investments involve risk including the loss of principal. This transmission is 
confidential and may not be redistributed without the express written consent of Third Point LLC and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an 
offer to purchase any security or investment product. Any such offer or solicitation may only be made by means of delivery of an approved confidential offering 
memorandum. Nothing in this presentation is intended to constitute the rendering of “investment advice,” within the meaning of Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of ERISA, to 
any investor in the Funds or to any person acting on its behalf, including investment advice in the form of a recommendation as to the advisability of acquiring, 
holding, disposing of, or exchanging securities or other investment property, or to otherwise create an ERISA fiduciary relationship between any potential 
investor, or any person acting on its behalf, and the Funds, the General Partner, or the Investment Manager, or any of their respective affiliates. 

Specific companies or securities shown in this presentation are for informational purposes only and meant to demonstrate Third Point’s investment style

amount of its investments, including any investments identified in this letter, without further notice and in Third Point’s sole discretion and for any reason. Third 
Point hereby disclaims any duty to update any information in this letter. 

Information provided herein, or otherwise provided with respect to a potential investment in the Funds, may constitute non-public information regarding Third 
Point Investors Limited, a feeder fund listed on the London Stock Exchange, and accordingly dealing or trading in the shares of the listed instrument on the 
basis of such information may violate securities laws in the United Kingdom, United States and elsewhere.

herein is subject to change without notice. An offer to invest in the Funds will only be made pursuant to the confidential private placement memorandum (the 
“PPM”), the Fund’s limited partnership agreement (as applicable), and the Fund’s subscription agreement, subject to any disclaimers, terms and conditions

investor unless otherwise permissible under applicable law.
