BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
ABOUT THE COMPANY
The Company is a self-managed closed-ended investment company incorporated in Guernsey on 21 April 2006 with an unlimited life. The Company has three classes of shares in issue being Sterling Shares, Euro Shares and US Dollar Shares. On 25 May 2006 all three classes were admitted to trading on AIM and the Sterling Shares only were admitted to listing and trading on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange. On 13 June 2008, the Company changed its name from Close AllBlue Fund Limited to BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited. On 19 June 2008, the trading of the Shares on AIM and the Company's listing on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange were cancelled and the Shares were admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities.
As at 14 August 2009, being the latest practical date prior to the publication of this report, the Company's total issued share capital consisted of 231,188,317 Ordinary Shares, of which 206,418,289 were designated as Sterling Shares, 9,119,694 were designated as Euro Shares and 15,650,334 were designated as US Dollar Shares.
Investment Objective and Policy
The investment objective of the Company is to seek to provide consistent long-term capital growth through an investment policy of investing substantially all of its assets in AllBlue Limited ('AllBlue') or any successor vehicle of AllBlue. Accordingly, the Company's published investment policy is consistent with that of AllBlue.
AllBlue is an open-ended investment company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with an investment objective of providing consistent long-term appreciation of its assets through investment in a diversified portfolio of underlying funds. Investors in the Company are, therefore, offered an opportunity to participate indirectly in the same investment portfolio as that of AllBlue.
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
ABOUT THE COMPANY (continued)
Investment Objective and Policy (continued)
AllBlue seeks to achieve its investment objective through investment in underlying funds, each of which on its own has a distinct investment objective and approach, and which collectively form a diversified basket of hedge fund investments. As at 30 June 2009, AllBlue was invested in seven underlying funds comprising BlueCrest Capital International Limited, BlueTrend Fund Limited, Merrill Lynch Investment Solutions - BlueTrend UCITS Fund, BlueCrest Emerging Markets Fund Limited, BlueCrest Mercantile Fund Limited, BlueMatrix Fund Limited and BlueCrest Multi Strategy Credit Fund Limited, (together the 'Underlying Funds') all of which are managed by BlueCrest Capital Management L.L.P. ('BlueCrest'). AllBlue may in the future from time to time exclude any or all of these funds or include any other investment fund established by BlueCrest or by managers with close links to BlueCrest.
BlueCrest is the appointed investment manager of AllBlue. BlueCrest seeks to construct a portfolio of investments for AllBlue, comprising the underlying funds, by utilising proprietary optimisation techniques as well as an in-depth understanding of underlying positions, correlations and risks. Both allocations and risks are closely monitored by BlueCrest's AllBlue committee, comprising a team of senior investment professionals of BlueCrest, on a monthly basis. BlueCrest reviews the allocation of AllBlue's assets amongst the underlying funds on a monthly basis and makes such adjustments as it deems appropriate.
It is the policy of BlueCrest that the assets of AllBlue will be predominantly fully invested. However, AllBlue may hold certain assets in cash or cash equivalents from time to time, should it consider that this is required for efficient portfolio management or otherwise in the best interests of AllBlue.
Although the Company has power under its Articles to borrow up to an amount equal to 10 per cent. of its net assets at the time of the drawing, the Directors do not intend that the Company should engage in any structural borrowing and any borrowing would only be for the purpose of managing day-to-day cash flow, for meeting expenses of the Company and for funding repurchases of Shares. The Company has entered into a 364 day revolving
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
ABOUT THE COMPANY (continued)
credit facility of £5,500,000 with Barclays Private Clients International Limited ('Barclays'). £500,000 is for the purpose of managing day-to-day cash flow when paying the ongoing operational expenses of the Company and £5 million to facilitate the buy back of its Shares as explained below.
AllBlue does not employ any leverage but may engage in short term borrowing, as is deemed necessary from time to time, pending the availability of subscription monies to fund new allocations to the Underlying Funds, or in order to fund redemptions ahead of redemption proceeds being made available.
None of the Underlying Funds is subject to any limits on the extent to which borrowings or leverage may be employed and they may leverage through the use of options, futures, options on futures, swaps and other synthetic or derivative financial instruments.
BlueCrest
BlueCrest is an English limited liability partnership, which was incorporated in England on 11 August 2008, as the successor to the former investment manager of AllBlue, BlueCrest Capital Management L.P. BlueCrest is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority of the United Kingdom and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States.
Currency Risk Management
As AllBlue's base currency is the US Dollar, BlueCrest may from time to time enter into forward exchange contracts in order to hedge the US Dollar exposure of the assets attributable to its Sterling shares and Euro shares in order to neutralise, as far as possible, the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rates between Sterling or Euro, as the case may be, and the US Dollar. Whilst hedging of currency exposure may occur within AllBlue, your Directors do not intend that the Company will carry out any additional hedging arrangements.
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
ABOUT THE COMPANY (continued)
Further Issue of Shares
The Directors have authority to allot the authorised but unissued share capital of the Company and such authority shall only be exercised at prices which are not less than the prevailing net asset value of the relevant Share class at the time.
Discount Management Provisions
The Directors have obtained shareholder approval to buy back up to 14.99% of each class of Shares in issue at the last General Meeting and intend to seek annual renewal of this authority from shareholders at each future General Meeting held under section 199 of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, as amended. In accordance with applicable laws any Share buy backs will be effected by the purchase of Shares in the market for cash at a price below the prevailing net asset value of the relevant class of Shares where the Directors believe such a purchase will enhance shareholder value. The 364 day revolving credit facility will be used to finance any Share buy backs. Any borrowings would be repaid out of the proceeds of redemption of the required number of shares in AllBlue. Shares which are purchased may be cancelled or held in treasury.
The Company's Articles incorporate a discount management provision (which applies to each class of Share individually) that will require a continuation vote to be proposed in respect of the particular class of Share at a class meeting of the relevant Shareholders (by way of ordinary resolution) if, over the previous 12 month rolling period commencing from 1 January 2008, the relevant class of Share has traded, on average (calculated by averaging the closing mid-market share price on the dates which are five Business Days after the date on which each estimated NAV announcement is made for each NAV Calculation Date over the period) at a discount in excess of five per cent. to the average Net Asset Value per Share of that class (calculated by averaging the NAV per Share of that class as at the NAV Calculation Date at the end of each month during the calculation period).
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
ABOUT THE COMPANY (continued)
In the event that a vote to continue is proposed and passed for any class of Ordinary Shares, no further continuation vote will be capable of being proposed for that class for a further 12 months. Continuation votes were proposed for all three classes of Ordinary Shares at separate class meetings held on 12 August 2009 and further information on those votes is provided in the Chairman's Statement.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholder,
Following a successful year in 2008, the Company has continued to deliver strong financial performance during the first six months of 2009. Although investment markets demonstrated significant volatility, fears of systemic financial risk had, by the end of the period, diminished significantly in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2008. Opportunities for attractive returns in trading markets were evident during the period and those funds pursuing trading arbitrage strategies were the strongest contributors to the AllBlue Fund in the first half of the year.
Share Price Performance
In the six month period to 30 June 2009, the published Sterling Share NAV (calculated in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association) rose from £1.2526 to £1.3704, a return of 5.58% for the period, which is greater than for any half-year period since the launch of the Company in 2006.
The price of a Sterling Share increased from 103.75p to 129.75 p during the period, an appreciation of 25.1 %. This appreciation has seen the trading discount narrow significantly and the Company has continued to trade at a tight discount level relative to its peer group. The average discounts over the period for each of the Sterling, Euro and US Dollar Share classes were 7.6 %, 8.7 % and 8.4 %, respectively .
As at 30 June 2009, each of the Sterling, Euro and US Dollar Share classes were trading at discounts of 5.2 %, 5.3 % and 3.5 %, respectively
Despite the excellent underlying investment performance, the Company triggered its rolling 12 month discount floor provision for each of the Sterling, Euro and US Dollar Share classes, by reference to the final NAV as at 30 April 2009, 27 February 2009 and 31 March 2009, respectively. In accordance with the articles of incorporation of the Company, continuation votes were therefore proposed for all three classes of shares by way of ordinary resolutions. At the separate class meetings held on 12 August 2009, the continuation votes were duly passed.
Investment Management
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (Continued)
The first half of 2009 saw only minor changes in the investment management and investment allocations of the AllBlue Fund. The size of the AllBlue Fund increased during
the period following the redemptions of late 2008 and BlueCrest has advised the Board that this growth is expected to continue. The six principal underlying funds into which the AllBlue Fund invests have remained consistent throughout the period. The report by the Manager of AllBlue on page 9 contains a more detailed review of the returns for the period from the different underlying strategies.
BlueCrest has advised the Company that the risk and leverage policies that have been consistently applied during the life of the AllBlue Fund continue to function robustly, and that as at 30 June 2009, the weighted average level of unencumbered cash in the underlying funds was approximately 1.3%.
Outlook
The Company has been advised by BlueCrest that the investment environment for trading-based strategies, that has delivered strong performance so far in 2009, remains attractive.
I look forward to reporting to you again in the Annual Financial Report for the year ended 31 December 2009.

REPORT BY THE MANAGER OF ALLBLUE LIMITED
On the invitation of the Directors of the Company, this commentary has been provided by BlueCrest Capital Management L.L.P. ('BlueCrest') as manager of AllBlue Limited ('AllBlue') and is provided without any warranty as to its accuracy and without any liability incurred on the part of the Company, BlueCrest or AllBlue. The commentary is provided as a source of useful information for shareholders of the Company but is not attributable to the Company.
Report on AllBlue Limited ('AllBlue') by BlueCrest Capital Management LLP for the half year ending June 30, 2009
AllBlue Limited (Class A, USD) generated 8.96% in the period under review, the first half of 2009. AllBlue has seen consistent returns for the year with positive performance in each of the first two quarters: 5.3% and 3.4% for Q1 and Q2 respectively. The trading environment for the discretionary funds has been and remains very attractive for several reasons:
Of the seven underlying funds in which AllBlue invests, the four that are most focused on trading arbitrage strategies delivered positive performance, with the largest single contribution being from BlueCrest Capital International. The negative contributors were BlueCrest Mercantile (Trade Finance) and BlueTrend, which has been the largest single contributor to the Fund's performance in each of 2007 and 2008. This change in relative contribution reflects the increase in trading opportunities described above, as well as an
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
REPORT BY THE MANAGER OF ALLBLUE LIMITED (Continued)
environment with less directional trends than 2008. AllBlue has delivered an annualised volatility of 6.50% YTD through June 2009, which is in line with the target volatility for the Fund.
BlueCrest Capital International (Mixed Arbitrage)
BlueCrest Capital International generated a return of 24.48% (Class A, USD) for the first half of 2009.
The Rates desk, led by CEO and Head of Trading Michael Platt, was the strongest performer during the first half of 2009, contributing 21.11% to BlueCrest Capital International. FX, Fixed Income Relative Value, Equity Derivatives, and Credit RV also contributed positive returns for the first half of 2009.
BlueTrend (Systematic Trading)
BlueTrend (Class A, USD) has generated a negative return of -5.17% for the first half of 2009.
The market environment has been relatively trendless as compared to 2008. The negative return has been driven by trading in the Bonds sector, followed by FX, Metals, and Crops. Short Interest Rates, Equities, and Energies all contributed positive returns to the fund.
The BlueCrest systematic team continues to monitor refine the models driving the process. The models have behaved according to predictions throughout 2009, and the Blue Trend Fund continues to outperform its peer group. The models are well positioned to identify trends and, at the moment trends reappear in the markets, positive returns should be generated.
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
REPORT BY THE MANAGER OF ALLBLUE LIMITED (Continued)
Emerging Markets
After a challenging period in the fourth quarter of 2008, the first half of 2009 has been a successful period for the Emerging Markets Fund. The Emerging Markets Fund (Class A, USD) generated a return (through June 2009) of 18.15%. This has been achieved following the decision in Q4 2008 to focus on the most liquid EM markets, being FX, local interest rate markets, and sovereign credit. February was the best performing month in the first half of 2009, achieving a return of 9.49%.
Multi Strategy Credit Relative Value
The Multi Strategy Credit Relative Value Fund has continued to deliver positive returns with low volatility. For the first half of 2009, the fund (Class A, USD) has returned 5.50%.
June was the best performing month for the Multi Strategy Credit Relative Value Fund for the first half of 2009 returning 2.14%. January was a month marked by the decoupling of high grade credit and stocks. The month was very poor for equity market performance (the worst January on record for the S&P 500) whereas investment grade credit performed well. There was strong appetite for investment grade new issues - a record month in terms of issuance. Key contributions came from curve trades on the high yield and high grade names, fundamental long-short relative value views on investment grade names, and opportunistic gamma trading.
Mercantile (Trade Finance)
BlueCrest Mercantile Fund, the trade finance strategy, returned -3.20% (Class A, USD) through the end of June. This negative performance was driven by mark-to-market losses on underlying trade finance positions, which were not offset by profits on hedges as CDS spreads actually tightened over the period. The underlying assets continue to perform well and consequently these losses are expected to be reversed through to their maturity.
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
REPORT BY THE MANAGER OF ALLBLUE LIMITED (Continued)
BlueMatrix (High Frequency Equity)
The BlueMatrix Fund has returned 11.78% for the first half of 2009. The strongest month for BlueMatrix was April with a 4.88% return while the weakest month was January with a -2.72% return.
This program, which is now trading nearly 600 single-name equities, typically witnesses its best performance in conditions of elevated but stable volatility, where the market has a potential for volatility to trend down. As market volatility declines, the relationship between the baskets and the single stocks begins to normalize, creating positive returns. As a result, BlueMatrix has been able to take full advantage of the current trading environment.

REPORT BY THE MANAGER OF ALLBLUE LIMITED (Continued)
Certain of the performance results provided herein were not achieved from the actual management of the Fund, but are instead simulated results achieved by means of the retroactive application of the adviser's investment methodology, or the real-time application of a hypothetical capital allocation to such strategy. This approach has inherent limitations, including that results may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on the adviser's decision-making if the adviser actually had been managing client money.
Although the information in this communication is believed to be materially correct, no representation or warranty is given as to the accuracy of any of the information provided. Certain information included in this communication is based on information obtained from sources considered to be reliable. However, any projections or analysis provided to assist the recipient of this communication in evaluating the matters described herein may be based on subjective assessments and assumptions and may use one
among alternative methodologies that produce different results. Accordingly, any projections or analysis should not be viewed as factual and should not be relied upon as an accurate prediction of future results. Furthermore, to the extent permitted by law, neither the Funds nor any of their agents, service providers or professional advisers assumes any liability or responsibility nor owes any duty of care for any consequences of any person acting or refraining to act in reliance on the information contained in this communication or for any decision based on it.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The actual performance realised by any given investor will depend on, amongst other things, the Fund invested into, the class of shares/interests subscribed for, the period during which such shares/interests are held and in what currency such shares/interests are held. This communication may include returns for various indices. These indices are not intended to be direct benchmarks for a particular Fund, nor are they intended to be indicative of the type of assets in which a particular Fund may invest. The assets invested in by the Funds will likely be materially different than the assets underlying these indices, and will likely have a significantly different risk profile. Target returns, volatility and Sharpe ratio figures quoted are targets only and are based over the long term on the performance projections of the investment strategy and market interest rates at time of modelling and therefore may change.
Among the risks we wish to call to the particular attention of prospective investors are the following: (1) Each Fund's investment programme is speculative in nature and entails substantial risks; (2) The investments of each Fund may be subject to sudden and large falls in price or value and there could be a large loss upon realisation of a holder's investment, which could equal the total amount invested; (3) As there is no recognised market for many of the investments of the Funds, it may be difficult or impossible for a Fund to obtain complete and/or reliable information about the value of such investments or the extent of the risks to which such investments are exposed; (4) BCML has total trading authority over the Funds, and the use of a single adviser could mean a lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk, and BCML is dependent upon the services of key personnel, and if certain or all of them become unavailable, the Funds may prematurely terminate; (5) An investment in a Fund is illiquid and there is no secondary market for the sale of interests in a Fund and none is expected to develop; (6) There are restrictions on transferring interests in a Fund; (7) BCML will receive performance-based compensation, which may result in riskier investments, and the Funds' fees may offset trading profits; (8) The Funds are subject to certain conflicts of interest; (9) Certain securities and instruments in which Funds may invest can be highly volatile; (10) The Funds may be leveraged; and (11) A substantial portion of the trades executed for the Funds take place on non-U.S. exchanges.
Changes in rates of exchange may also have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of the investments of each Fund.

BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2009
A description of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year, their impact on the performance of the Company as shown in the financial statements and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the annual financial year is given in the Chairman's Statement on pages 7 and 8, and the notes to the financial statements on pages 29 to 47 and is incorporated here by reference.
There were no material related party transactions which took place in the first six months of the financial year, other than those disclosed at note 5 to the financial statements on page 34.
This half-yearly financial report has not been audited or reviewed by auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.
Going Concern
The performance of the investments held by the Company over the reporting period are described in the Statement of Operations and the outlook for the future is described in the Chairman's Statement. The Company's financial position, its cash flows and liquidity position are set out in the financial statements and the Company's financial risk management objectives and policies, details of its financial instruments and its exposures to price risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and the risk of leverage by underlying funds are set out at note 14 to the financial statements.
The continuation votes proposed at the class meetings held on 12 August 2009 were all passed and no further continuation vote is capable of being proposed for each class for a period of a further twelve months from 12 August 2009.
After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of this half-yearly financial report.

BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the period from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards and applicable Guernsey law. The financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis except for the measurement at fair value of unquoted financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial statements are presented in GBP because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
Amendments to IFRS 7 were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board in March 2009, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The amendments to IFRS 7 requires fair value to be disclosed by the source of inputs, using a three-level hierarchy:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2);
Inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
The following Standards or Interpretations have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company:
IFRS 3 (revised 2008) Business Combinations effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.
IFRIC 17 Distribution of Non-cash Assets to owners effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.
IFRIC 18 Transfer of assets from customers effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.
IAS 27 (revised 2008) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.
IAS 28 (revised 2008) Investments in Associates effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.
IAS 31 (revised 2008) Interests in Joint Ventures effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.
Amendments to IAS 39 Eligible hedged items effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009.
These Standards and Interpretations may require additional disclosure in future financial statements.
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the period from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(b) Going concern
As described in note 9, should the average 12 month discount of the share price of any class exceed 5% of net asset value per share, the Company is obliged to offer a continuation vote to class shareholders.
The Company triggered its rolling 12 month discount floor provision for each of the Sterling, Euro and US Dollar Share classes, by reference to the final NAV as at 30 April 2009, 27 February 2009 and 31 March 2009, respectively. In accordance with the articles of incorporation of the Company, continuation votes were proposed for all three classes of shares by way of ordinary resolutions at separate class meetings held on 12 August 2009 and each continuation vote was passed.
(c) Taxation
The Company has been granted exemption under the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989 from Guernsey Income Tax, and is charged an annual fee of £600.
(d) Expenses
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.
(e) Interest income
Interest income is accounted for on an accruals basis.
(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as call deposits and short term deposits readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, together with bank overdrafts. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and deposits at bank, together with bank overdrafts.
(g) Investments
All investments are designated upon initial recognition as financial assets at 'fair value through profit or loss'. Investments are initially recognised on the date of purchase at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given, excluding transaction costs associated with the investment, with unrealised gains and losses on investments and impairment of investments recognised in the Statement of Operations. Investments are derecognised on disposal.
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the period from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(g) Investments (continued)
Realised gains or losses are determined on the disposal of investments and unrealised gains or losses are determined based on the change in value of investments since the prior period.
In order to assess whether any impairment of the unquoted investments has occurred and in order to determine the recoverable amount of the unquoted investments, the Directors consider the net asset value of the underlying investment in AllBlue Limited.
The Company's net asset value is based on valuations of unquoted investments. In calculating the net asset value and the net asset value per Share, the Administrator relies on net asset values of the shares in AllBlue Limited supplied by the administrator of AllBlue Limited. Those net asset values are based on the market value of the various investments held by AllBlue Limited.
(h) Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the Statement of Operations.
Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising on currency consolidation due to translation of foreign currency balances to presentation currency are taken to the Statement of Operations.
(i) Segment information
In the opinion of the directors, the Company has only one business and geographical segment, being investment in three share classes of a fund of hedge funds incorporated in the Cayman Islands.
(j) Shares
Sterling, Euro and US Dollar shares have been reclassified as liabilities in accordance with IAS 32 because the Company as a whole does not have the power to determine the outcome of the continuation votes by share class under the discount management provisions of the articles described in note 9. The Directors have been advised that this treatment does not result in the shares being treated as a liability for the purpose of applying the solvency test set out in Section 527 of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the period from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009
9 SHARE CAPITAL (continued)
In the event of a return of capital on a winding-up or otherwise, shareholders are entitled to participate in the distribution of capital after paying all the debts and satisfying all the liabilities attributable to the relevant share class.
The holders of shares of the relevant share class shall be entitled to receive by way of capital any surplus assets of the share class in proportion to their holdings. In the event that the share class has insufficient funds or assets to meet all the debt and liabilities attributable to that share class, any such shortfall shall be paid out of funds or assets attributable to the other share classes in proportion to the respective net assets of the relevant share classes as at the date of winding-up.
The Company's Articles incorporate a discount management provision (which applies to each class of Ordinary Shares individually) that will require a continuation vote to be proposed in respect of the particular class of Ordinary Shares at a class meeting of the relevant Shareholders (by way of ordinary resolution) if, over the previous 12 month rolling period commencing from 1 January 2008, the relevant class of Ordinary Shares has traded, on average (calculated by averaging the closing mid-market share price on the dates which are 5 Business Days after the date on which each estimated Published NAV announcement is made for each NAV Calculation date over the period) at a discount in excess of 5 per cent to the average Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share of that class (calculated by averaging the NAV per Ordinary Share of that class as at the NAV Calculation Date at the end of each month during the period).
In the event that a vote to continue is proposed and passed for any class of Ordinary Shares as a result of the operation of such mechanism, no further continuation vote will be capable of being proposed for that class for a further 12 months.
If such continuation vote is not passed, the Directors will be required to formulate redemption proposals to be put to the Shareholders of that class offering to redeem their Ordinary Shares at the relevant Published Net Asset Value on the NAV Calculation Date immediately preceding such redemption (less the costs of all such redemptions). However, where one or more such resolutions in respect of the same period is/are not passed and the class(es) of Ordinary Shares involved represent 75 per cent, or more of the Company's net assets attributable to all Ordinary Shares at the last NAV Calculation Date on or immediately preceding the date of the latest continuation resolution being defeated, the Directors may first (at their discretion) put forward alternative proposals to all Shareholders to offer to repurchase their Shares or to reorganise, reconstruct or wind up the Company. If, however, such alternative proposals are not passed by the necessary majority of shareholders of the relevant class, the Directors must proceed to offer to redeem the relevant class(es) of Ordinary Shares on the terms described above.

for the period from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009
9 SHARE CAPITAL (continued)
Where following redemption of any class of Ordinary Shares under the discount management provision, the number of Ordinary Shares of that class remaining in issue represent less than 25 per cent, of the Ordinary Shares of that class in issue immediately before such redemption or the listing for such class of Ordinary Shares on the Official List is withdrawn or threatened to be withdrawn or the Directors determine that the conditions for the continued listing of that class are not (or they believe will not be) met, then the Company may redeem the remaining issued Ordinary Shares of that class within 3 months of such determination at a redemption price equal to the Net Asset Value of Ordinary Shares of that class on the NAV Calculation Date selected by the Directors for such purpose (less the costs of such redemption).
The Company triggered its rolling 12 month discount floor provision for each of the Sterling, Euro and US Dollar Share classes, by reference to the final NAV as at 30 April 2009, 27 February 2009 and 31 March 2009, respectively. In accordance with the articles of incorporation of the Company, continuation votes were proposed for all three classes of shares by way of ordinary resolutions at separate class meetings held on 12 August 2009 and each continuation vote was passed.

The Directors obtained from the Court in Guernsey an order confirming such cancellation of the share premium account in accordance with the Companies Laws. The reserve created is available as distributable profits to be used for all purposes permitted by the Companies Laws, including the buy back of shares and the payment of dividends.

13 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's main financial instruments comprise:
(a) Cash and cash equivalents that arise directly from the Company's operations; and
(b) Shares held in AllBlue Limited.
14 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The main risks arising from the Company's financial instruments concerns its shares in AllBlue Limited and the risks attaching to those shares which are market price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk as explained below.
So far as the Company is concerned the only risk the Board can monitor and control is the liquidity risk attaching to its ability to realise shares in AllBlue Limited for the purpose of meeting ongoing expenses of the Company. Thereafter the Board recognises that the Company has via its holding of shares in AllBlue Limited an indirect exposure to the risks summarised below though it must be noted that there is little or nothing which the Board can do to manage each of these risks within AllBlue Limited ('AllBlue') or the underlying funds in which AllBlue invests (the 'underlying fund(s)').
(a) Price Risk
The success of AllBlue's and the underlying funds' and, therefore, the Company's activities will be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, trade barriers, currency exchange controls and national and international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities' prices and the liquidity of the underlying funds' investments. Volatility or illiquidity could impair the underlying funds' profitability or result in losses.
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the period from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009
14 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)
(a) Price Risk
Details of the Company's Investment Objectives and Policy are given on page 1.
Price sensitivity
The Company invests substantially all its assets in AllBlue and does not undertake any significant borrowing or hedging activity at the Company level. Its performance is therefore directly linked to the net asset value of AllBlue, which itself is driven by the net asset values of the underlying funds, each of which hold a large number of positions in listed and unlisted securities.
At 30 June 2009, if the net asset value of AllBlue had been 10% higher with all other variables held constant, the net gain attributable to shareholders for the period would have been £30,443,498 (2008: £28,141,240) greater, arising due to the increase in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
If the net asset value of AllBlue had been 10% lower with all other variables held constant, the net gain attributable to shareholders for the period would have been £30,443,498 (2008: £28,141,240) lower, arising due to the decrease in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
The sensitivity is higher in 2009 than in 2008 because of an increase in the net financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss at the balance sheet date.
(b) Credit Risk
The nature of commercial arrangements made in the normal course of business between many prime brokers and custodians means that in the case of any one prime broker or custodian defaulting on its obligations to AllBlue or any of the underlying funds, the effects of such a default may have negative effects on other prime brokers with whom AllBlue or such underlying fund deals. The underlying funds and, by extension, AllBlue and the Company may, therefore be exposed to systemic risk when AllBlue or an underlying fund deals with prime brokers and custodians whose creditworthiness may be interlinked.
The assets of AllBlue and the underlying funds may be pledged as margin with prime brokers or other counterparties or held with prime brokers or banks. In the event of the default of any of these prime brokers, banks or counterparties, AllBlue or the underlying funds may not receive back all or any of the assets pledged or held with the defaulting party.
The maximum credit risk to which the Company was exposed at the period end was £304,434,980 (2008: £281,412,397).
The main concentration of risk for the Company relates to the investments in AllBlue, as these are the only investments the Company has.
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the period from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009
14 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)
(c) Liquidity Risk
In some circumstances, investments may be relatively illiquid making it difficult to acquire or dispose of them at the prices quoted on the various exchanges. Accordingly, an underlying fund's ability to respond to market movements may be impaired and, consequently, the underlying fund may experience adverse price movements upon liquidation of its investments which may in turn affect the value of AllBlue and hence the Company's investment in AllBlue. Settlement of transactions may be subject to delay and administrative formalities.
There can be no assurance that the liquidity of the investments of AllBlue and the underlying funds will always be sufficient to meet redemption requests as, and when, made. Any such lack of liquidity may affect the ability of the Company to realise its shares in AllBlue and the value of Shares in the Company. For such reasons AllBlue's treatment of redemption requests may be deferred in exceptional circumstances including if a lack of liquidity may result in difficulties in determining the net asset value and the net asset value per share in AllBlue. This in turn would limit the ability of the Directors to realise the Company's investments in AllBlue should they consider it appropriate to do so and may result in difficulties in determining the net asset value of a Share in the Company.
The market prices, if any, for such illiquid investments tend to be volatile and may not be readily ascertainable and the relevant underlying fund may not be able to sell them when it desires to do so or to realise what it perceives to be their fair value in the event of a sale. The size of the underlying funds' positions may magnify the effect if a decrease in market liquidity for such instruments. Changes in overall market leverage, deleveraging as a consequence of a decision by the counterparties with which the underlying funds enter into repurchase/reverse repurchase agreements or derivative transactions, to reduce the level of leveraging, or the liquidation by other market participants of the same or similar positions, may also adversely affect the underlying funds' portfolios.
The sale of restricted and illiquid securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. The underlying funds may not be able readily to dispose of such illiquid investments and, in some cases, may be contractually prohibited from disposing of such investments for a specified period of time. Restricted securities may sell at a price lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale.
The Company's shares in issue are traded on the London Stock Exchange ('LSE'). However, in certain circumstances there may be a limited market for the shares and it may not be possible for investors to achieve liquidation of their holding within a short time period or for the investor to realise the full anticipated value of the shares.
The Company has the use of an overdraft facility in order to settle share redemptions at times when no cash funds are available.
BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (the 'Company')
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the period from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009
14 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)
(d) Interest Rate Risk
The prices of securities tend to be sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Unexpected fluctuations in interest rates could cause the corresponding prices of long positions and short positions adopted to move in directions which were not originally anticipated. In addition, interest rate increases generally increase the interest or carrying costs of investments.
The Company's own cash balances are not materially exposed to interest rate risk as cash and cash equivalents are held on floating interest rate deposits with banks and the Company does not rely on income from bank interest to meet day to day expenses.
(e) Leverage by Underlying Funds
Certain underlying funds in which the Company may have an economic interest operate with a substantial degree of leverage and are not limited in the extent to which they either may borrow or engage in margin transactions. The positions maintained by such underlying funds may in aggregate value be in excess of the net asset value of AllBlue. This leverage presents the potential for a higher rate of total return but will also increase the volatility of AllBlue and, as a consequence, the Company, including the risk of a total loss of the amount invested.
(f) Capital management
The investment objective of the Company is to provide shareholders with consistent long-term capital growth through an investment policy of investing substantially all of its assets in AllBlue Limited ('AllBlue') or any successor vehicle to AllBlue.
As the Company's Ordinary Shares are traded on the LSE, the Ordinary Shares may trade at a discount to their Net Asset Value per Share. However, in structuring the Company, the Directors have given detailed consideration to the discount risk and how this may be managed.
At the last annual general meeting, the Directors were granted authority to buy back up to 14.99 per cent of the Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company's authority to make purchases of its own issued Ordinary Shares will expire at the conclusion of the next general meeting of the Company. A renewal of such authority to make purchases of Ordinary Shares will be sought at the next Shareholder meeting of the Company. The timing of any purchases will be decided by the Board.
The Directors intend that purchases will only be made pursuant to this authority through the market, for cash, at prices below the prevailing Net Asset Value per Share where the Directors reasonably believe such purchases will result in an increase in the Net Asset Value per Share of the remaining Ordinary Shares.
Following approval of the Court in Guernsey, the Company resolved to cancel the amount standing to the credit of its share premium account following Admission. The amount released on cancellation has been credited as a distributable reserve in the books of account and may be used by the Company for the purpose of funding purchases of its Ordinary Shares as described above and the payment of dividends.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the period from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009
14 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)
(f) Capital management
The Company's authorised share capital is such that further issues of new Ordinary Shares could be made. Subject to prevailing market conditions, the Board may decide to make one or more further such issues or reissues of Ordinary Shares for cash from time to time. Any further issues of new Ordinary Shares or reissues of Ordinary Shares held in treasury will rank pari passu with Ordinary Shares in issue.
There are no provisions of the Companies Laws which confer rights of pre-emption in respect of the allotment of Shares. There are, however, pre-emption rights contained in the Articles, but the Directors have been granted the power to issue further Shares on a non-pre-emptive basis until the time of the Company's annual general meeting in 2009 by a special resolution of Shareholders dated 30 May 2008. The Directors intend to request that the authority to allot Shares on a non-pre-emptive basis is renewed at each subsequent annual general meeting of the Company.
Unless authorised by Shareholders, the Company will not issue further Ordinary Shares or reissue Ordinary Shares out of treasury for cash at a price below the prevailing Net Asset Value per Share unless they are first offered pro rata to existing Shareholders.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity as presented on the face of the balance sheet. Capital for the reporting period under review is summarised as follows:
