The November 2007 return estimate for the Ferrell Concert Fund of Hedge
Funds (Concert 6) is -2.29%, bringing 2007 YTD performance to 15.44%, according to an investor communication obtained by Opalesque. Greenwich, Connecticut based Ferrell Capital Management (FCM) is headed by Bill Ferrell. Ferrell Concert Ltd. is an offshore,
