12. Client Lists
Lists of Albourne clients found on the Website reflect a partial sampling of our client universe, in accordance with the requirement for an objective methodology for partial client lists. We chose clients that were the three largest in each category type listed, used what Albourne believes to be their AUM in hedge funds as the criterion, and omitted any clients who requested anonymity. It is not known whether the listed clients approve or disapprove of Albourne or the services provided by Albourne. Estimated AUM figures are calculated by aggregating the estimated investments in alternatives investments of all of the clients of the Albourne group worldwide.
