returns as of the close of business on the last day of the
relevant period. These net returns reflect performance after
taking into account management fees, expenses, and incentive
fees/allocations, as applicable. Results reflect the
reinvestments of dividends, interest and earnings. Past
performance is not a guarantee, prediction or indicator of
future returns and no representation is made that any
investor will or is likely to achieve results comparable to
those shown or will make any profit or will be able to avoid
incurring substantial losses.An individual investor’s return
may vary based on timing of capital transactions, differences
in fund expenses and lower or no management fees and
incentive fees/allocations.
(2) The monthly net return is based on managements unaudited
estimates, as of the date hereof, for performance of the
above referenced funds for the period indicated. Such
performance results may change upon calculation of the final
month-end net asset value of the above referenced funds, and
any such changes could be material.
(3) The month end, YTD and ITD net returns represent unaudited
actual returns as of the date hereof, for performance of the
above referenced funds through the date indicated. The YTD
and ITD net returns represent the cumulative effect of
compounding the monthly returns for the relevant time period.
(4) Estimated unaudited net return reflects a blended return for
all share classes of ZAIS Opportunity Fund taken as a whole,
including fee paying and non-fee paying investors.Actual
month-end, YTD and ITD net returns reflect an investment in
ZAIS Opportunity Domestic Feeder Fund, LP (Domestic Feeder)
Series A Interests that are subject to advisory fees and
incentive allocation. Returns would differ for an investment
in Domestic Feeder Series B and ZAIS Opportunity Fund, Ltd.
(the Offshore Feeder) Series A and Series B. Effective April
1, 2012, management fee rates were reduced from 1.50% to
1.25% for Series A and from 1.00% to 0.75% for Series B.

were reduced from 25% to 20% for Series A and from 20% to 15%
for Series B. The Domestic Feeders returns for January 2009
and February 2011 have been adjusted to account for an
increase of capital resulting from redemption penalties
retained in the fund for the benefit of the remaining
investors. Due to this adjustment, inception-to-date GAAP
returns for years after 2008 would be lower than the adjusted
returns presented.
(5) The net asset value includes the net assets of the Domestic
Feeder and the Offshore Feeder.
(6) On April 19, 2017, the Offshore Feeder received a redemption
request for a redemption of approximately $68.0 million
(value date of April 30, 2017) from the Offshore Feeder.This
redemption is scheduled to occur on December 31, 2017.

although this fund operates on a September 30th

fiscal year end.
