volatility.

The Short-Term
Opportunity Aggressive Program aims to
extract value from short term higher
frequency strategies focusing on range and
breakout conditions, while balancing the
portfolio out with longer-term focused
strategies.
The short term, higher frequency strategies
by nature can be very volatile and may lose
more frequently on a trade-by-trade basis;
however, our back-tested results suggest
that these strategies can compensate for
such losses when profitable trades are
found. The strategies separately look to
take advantage of ranging and breakout
markets so as not to depend fully on one
market condition or the other. While these
two short term components will tend to
smooth each other out to some extent, both
can still be very volatile strategies when
analyzed independently from the longer term
strategies.
The longer term components aim to provide a
stable foundation and long term
profitability as a backdrop for the shorter
term strategies. These longer term
components can nevertheless have extended
periods of volatility and draw downs
notwithstanding the fact that the strategies
are more focused on the long term views and
less sensitive to short term market noise.
The longer term strategies themselves
balance between general trending strategies
and carry-focused strategies. This brings a
stabilizing effect into the longer term
component of the portfolio as there is a
value component through trending strategies
and a yield component through the carry
focused strategies.

Performance
results are based on the system employed by
the account.
Past performance is not indicative of future
results, as returns may vary according to
market conditions. Trading in foreign
exchange is speculative and may involve the
loss of principal; therefore, assets placed
under management should be risk capital
funds that if lost will not significantly
affect one's personal financial well being.
This is not a solicitation to invest, and
you should carefully consider the
suitability of your financial situation for
investment prior to making any investment or
entering into any transaction. |
