Important Disclosures
This is not an offering to subscribe for units in any fund and is intended for informational purposes only. An offering can only be made by delivery of the Prospectus to “qualified clients” within the meaning of U.S. securities laws. The Hatteras Core Alternatives Fund, L.P.; the Hatteras Core Alternatives TEI Fund, L.P; the Hatteras Core Alternatives Institutional Fund, L.P.; and the Hatteras Core Alternatives TEI Institutional Fund, L.P. (collectively referred to herein as the “Hatteras Core Alternatives Fund” or the “Fund”) are Delaware limited partnerships that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies whose units are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Hatteras Core Alternatives Fund is a fund of alternative investments. As such, the Fund invests in private hedge funds and private equity investments. Hedge funds are speculative investments and are not suitable for all investors, nor do they represent a complete investment program. A hedge fund can be described generally as a private and unregistered investment pool that accepts investors’ money and employs hedging and arbitrage techniques using long and short positions, leverage and derivatives, and investments in many markets.

Key Risk Factors
The Fund, through an investment in the Master Fund, will invest substantially all of its assets in underlying funds that are generally not registered as investment companies under the 1940 Act and, therefore, the Fund will not have the benefit of various protections provided under the 1940 Act with respect to an investment in those underlying funds. The Fund can be highly volatile, carry substantial fees, and involve complex tax structures. Investments in the Fund involves a high degree of risk, including loss of entire capital. The underlying funds may engage in speculative investment strategies and practices, such as the use of leverage, short sales, and derivatives transactions, which can increase the risk of investment loss. The Fund provides limited liquidity, and units in the Funds are not transferable. Liquidity will be provided only through repurchase offers made by the Fund from time to time, generally on a quarterly basis upon prior written notice.

The success of the Fund is highly dependent on the financial and managerial expertise of its principals and key personnel of the Fund’s investment manager. Although the investment manager for the Fund expects to receive detailed information from each underlying fund on a regular basis regarding its valuation, investment performance, and strategy, in most cases the investment manager has little or no means of independently verifying this information. The underlying funds are not required to provide transparency with respect to their respective investments. By investing in the underlying funds indirectly through the Fund, investors will be subject to a dual layer of fees, both at the Fund and underlying fund levels. Certain underlying funds will not provide final Schedule K-1s for any fiscal year before April 15th of the following year. Those funds, however, will endeavor to provide estimates of taxable income or losses with respect to their investments. Please see the Prospectus for a detailed discussion of the specific risks disclosed here and other important risks and considerations.

The Fund is a Feeder Fund in a Master/Feeder fund complex. Partners are unable to invest directly in the Master Fund. Fund Assets and Master Fund Assets do not include pending subscriptions and redemptions, which are effective as of the first day of the following calendar month.

It is not meant to predict or project results into the future, nor is it intended to portray performance of the Fund.

The above illustration offers historical performance for each individual strategy as a composite of the actual underlying advisory funds. The historical performance shown indicates how each strategy (composite) performed on a stand-alone basis, net of all fees. However, none of the (composite) strategies shown above are offered as stand-alone investments. This is not meant to predict or project results into the future, nor is it intended to portray performance of the Fund.

Registration does not imply that the SEC or any other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the securities or passed upon the accuracy of the offering materials or merits of an investment in the securities. However, registered closed-end investment companies such as the Funds are required by SEC rules and regulations to meet certain standards typically not required of non-registered funds. Registration requirements include: existence of an independent Board of Directors, and that all holdings be reported to the SEC and made publicly available on a quarterly basis.

Any prospective investor will be required to certify he/she is a “qualified client” as defined by federal securities laws.

A Partner may be subject to a repurchase fee equal to 5% of the amount requested if such Partner has been a Partner for less than 12 months prior to the valuation date.

The Funds generally intend to make quarterly offers to repurchase units at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors as described in the Funds’ Prospectus.

Investors in the Funds will bear their pro-rata share of the management fee, fund servicing fee, and other expenses as set forth in the applicable prospectus (including insurance costs, director fees and the applicable portion of the Funds’ total expenses). Such fees do not include other fees and expenses that may be borne by shareholders, such as placement fees, which could be up to 2.00%, if applicable, at the Fund level, and indirectly, similar fees, expenses and incentive-based fees/allocations of the investments in which the Master Fund invests. Please see the applicable prospectus for a more detailed discussion of the costs and expenses investors will bear, directly or indirectly, by investing in the Fund or the Master Fund.
