Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background

Trading Description

Agile's Senti-Wave V Strategy Description: The strategy is an 80% systematic trading method developed from a proprietary trading system and used to capitalize on waves of over-sold or over-bought environments in the equity markets, and in the volatility of those markets. The strategy trades Volatility index futures (VIX) and takes advantage of directional momentum and volatility as a market sentiment barometer designed to achieve steady and consistently positive 12 month returns regardless of market direction. It targets these results in trendless or choppy market environments. Trades are short-term in duration from several days to several weeks.

Beginning February 2021, the Advisor, Agile Investment Management LLC., began managing client accounts and the trading results are the composite actual performance. Performance of client accounts is compiled by NAV Consulting. Returns experienced by an individual investor may differ from those presented depending on the notional exposures in the investor's account and the timing of the investment and redemptions.
