Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background

The Advisor focuses on the following factors with respect to positioning the portfolio:

- Level of the Volatility Surface
- Steepness of the Volatility Surface
- Curvature of the Volatility Surface
- Beta of Portfolio to Spot Volatility
- Excess Capital Remaining in Stressed Market Scenarios

The Advisor believes that risk management is critical to generating long-term wealth-building returns and that expected returns vary over time. Therefore, the Advisor takes a pro-active approach to risk management by varying the portfolio's exposures during different market environments with the goal of reducing drawdowns and capturing favorable risk/return probabilities as they are presented. The Advisor recommends that clients do not try to time the strategy, but instead consider the offered program to be part of a diversified investment portfolio to be held for many years.

Andrew Haleen is the sole principal, founder, and managing member of AP Futures, LLC. He registered as an associated person with the NFA and listed as a Principal of the Advisor on December 29, 2016. Mr. Haleen began trading client accounts as the Principal of AP Futures, LLC on January 30, 2017 and is responsible for all trading decisions and management of the Advisor. Mr. Haleen has been trading VIX futures since September 2013. He developed this trading program's strategy by combining aspects of various trading strategies from his professional experience in the credit and equity volatility markets that he believes are particularly well suited for VIX Futures.
