To the Trustees of the APO1 Agreement:
This letter is intended to provide insight with respect to the investment
policies of the APOI Agreement.
I have left to you the difficult task of investing trust assets. To aid you in
fulfilling your fiduciary duties with respect to trust investments, I wish to share with you
my perspective. As you know, this guidance does not change your fiduciary
responsibilities. You continue to possess discretion and authority under the trust
agreement. Nevertheless, I hope that you will take my views into account, which I have
gained over decades of experience as a successful investor and art collector.
First, every investment carries some risk. While each individual
investment may not be a success, in the long run, a portfolio of investments, with
elements of risk, may yield a greater return than a portfolio of conservative investments.
Second, I have come to realize that successful investing is a process that
requires education and experience. As the Trust is in place for the benefit of Debra and
my descendants, it is my hope that they will benefit not merely financially, but also by
gaining investment education and experience. Accordingly, I would encourage you to
consider investment proposals initiated by my children and seek to include them in the
process as you deem appropriate.
Finally, I wish to underscore my positive view of various alternative
investments, including, but not limited to, works of art, venture capital, private equity and
credit instruments, among others.
Thank you for taking on this responsibility.
Sincerely,
Leon D. Black
