P - Proprietary Trading Results * C - Client Trading Result * P&C - Combines Client & Proprietary Trading Results (the accounting notes will identify the time frame for each. 1. Rates of Return: Rate of Returns are calculated from the start date of each program. Usually returns are calculated based on the Annual Compounded Rate of Return method. In some cases returns have been calculated on a Non-Compounded basis. This would occur when a Manager trades based on account unit rather than on account equity. The Annualized Compounded Rate of Return ("Annualized CROR") represents the compounded rate of return or each year or portion thereof presented. It is computed by applying successively respective monthly rate of return for each month beginning with the first month of that period. The Annual Rate of Return ("Annual ROR") is the annualized Mean Return. 2. The Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown ("Worst Drawdown") is defined as the greatest cumulative percentage decline in net asset value due to losses sustained by the trading program during any period in which the initial net asset value is not equaled or exceeded by a subsequent asset value. 3. Start & End Dates: Indicates the Start and End Dates of the Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown. 4. The Current Losing Streak ("Losing Streak") represents the extent of the Advisor's current drawdown. 5. Annualzied Standard Deviation is one way to look at consistency of returns. It measures the degree by which the monthly returns vary from the average (mean) return. 6. Downside Deviation is a measure of downside volatility. It only considers those monthly performance results that are less than the monthly Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return. 7. The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted ratio that rewards consistency of returns. Traders are penalized for volatility regardless of whether it is on the up or downside. The Sharpe Ratios is calculated using a 1% risk-free rate of return. 8. The Sortino Ratio is a risk-adjusted ratio. The higher the number the better. Results are dependent upon the Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return (currently set at 5%. 9. The Sterling Ratio is a risk-adjusted return measurement calculated by dividing the Annualized Compound ROR by the Average Yearly Maximum Drawdown less an arbitrary 10%. The Sterling Ratio is normally calculated using the last 36 months of data. 10. The Calmar Ratio represents the historical amount gained for each dollar risked. A higher number is better. Unless otherwise denoted the Calmar Ratio is calculated by dividing the 36 month Annualized Compounded ROR by the 36 month Peak to Valley Drawdown. Traders with less than 36 months of data or a negative Calmar Ratio will be indicated by N/A. 11. The Omega Function accounts for the non-normal distributions of returns and takes into account the investor's preferences for loss and gain. Omega is computed directly from the returns distribution and measures the total impact of the moments instead of each one of them individually. 12. Minimum Investment represents the minimum account size. 13. Assets Under Management ("AUM") represents the current nominal assets traded by the Manager. 14. The Number of Winning Months represents the months with positive return. 15. The Number of Losing Months represents the months with negative return. 16. The Percentage of Winning Months represents the % of winning months. 17. Margin to Equity ("Margin") represents the average margin as a percent of a fully funded account. 18. Round Turns per Million ("Round Turns") represent the average number of round turns that would be generated in a $1,000,000 account. 19. Average Commission ("Avg Comm") represents the average commission rate of the composite track record. A higher or lower commission rate would increase or decrease the performance accordingly. 20. Maximum Commisions ("Max Comm") is the Maximum Round Turn Rate allowable by the Manager.

The composite monthly net performance results shown in the table above are net of all management fees, incentive fees and brokerage commissions and related transaction fees and expenses. Certain accounts managed by Horizon3 Investment Management LLP and/or its principals have been excluded from the composite table because such accounts had materially differences in rates of return from the accounts included in the composite. In addition, for various reasons including, without limitation, the timing of the commencement or cessation of trading for an account, the size of an account, the levels of fees and expenses charged to account, the degree of leverage employed and other differences, an individual account may have realized more or less favorable results than the composite results indicate.

Total AUM equals the notional value of all accounts traded by Horizon3 Investment Management LLP and its principals.
