Introduction
The investment advisory services of Mason Investments Limited are provided to the client through an
investment adviser representative of Mason Investments Limited (referred as the investment adviser
representative throughout this brochure).
Description of Services
The following are descriptions of the primary advisory services of Mason Investments Limited. Please
understand that a written agreement, which details the exact terms of the service, must be signed by the
client and Mason Investments Limited before we can provide the client the services described below.
Continuous and Regular Supervisory Services– Mason Investments Limited offers supervisory
services to high-net-worth domestic and foreign institutions. Mason Investment Limited does not execute
the initial purchase of or invest in the investment on behalf of the foreign institutions.
The institution must appoint our firm as the investment adviser of record on the specified investments
kept in book entry form by the issuer/transfer agent and any separate account in the name of the investor
held at a qualified custodian for the investments (collectively, the “Account”). The Account consists only
of these investments. If the investment is transferrable (without the issuer or transfer agent’s permission)
and kept in certificate form, it will be held in separate account(s) by qualified custodian(s) under the
investor’s name; the qualified custodian(s) will maintain physical custody of the investments of the
Account. If the investment is a private placement, restricted/non-transferrable (without the issuer or
transfer agent’s permission) and recorded only on issuer/transfer agent’s books, then it will not be held in
a separate account with a qualified custodian and instead be kept under the investor’s name in book entry
form with the issuer or transfer agent. Regardless of whether the investment is held at a qualified
custodian or in book entry through the issuer/transfer agent, the investor will retain all rights of ownership
of the Account.
The Account is managed by us based on the financial situation, investment objectives and risk tolerance.
We actively monitor the Account and provide advice regarding buying, selling, reinvesting or holding
securities, cash or other investments of the Account.
We will need to obtain certain information from the investor to determine his or her financial situation and
investment objectives. The investor will be responsible for notifying us of any updates regarding his or her
financial situation, risk tolerance or investment objective and whether the client wishes to impose or
modify existing investment restrictions. However, we will contact him or her at least annually to discuss

any changes or updates regarding the client’s financial situation, risk tolerance or investment objectives.
We are always reasonably available to consult with the investor relative to the status of his or her
Account. The investor will have the ability to impose reasonable restrictions on the management of his or
her accounts, including the ability to instruct us not to purchase certain securities.
It is important that the investor understand that we manage investments for other clients and may give
them advice or take actions for them or for our personal accounts that is different from the advice we
provide to the investor or actions taken for the investor. We are not obligated to buy, sell or recommend
to the investor any security or other investment that we may buy, sell or recommend for any other clients
or for our own accounts.
Conflicts may arise in the allocation of investment opportunities among accounts that we manage. We
strive to allocate investment opportunities believed to be appropriate for the Account and other accounts
advised by our firm among such accounts equitably and consistent with the best interests of all accounts
involved. However, there can be no assurance that a particular investment opportunity that comes to our
attention will be allocated in any particular manner. If we obtain material, non-public information about a
security or its issuer that we may not lawfully use or disclose, we have absolutely no obligation to disclose
the information to any client or use it for any client’s benefit.
