1Rates of Return

ROR calculations are not provided when there are less than 12 data points. The Annualized Compounded Rate of Return ("Annualized CROR") represents the compounded rate of return for 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. Annualized CROR is not applicable to CTAs that sum their monthly returns. The Annualized Mean Return is calculated by annualizing the average monthly return.

2Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown

The Worst Peak-to-Valley 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. Unless otherwise indicated, the Worst Peak-to Valley Drawdown is calculated from inception.

3Start & End Dates

Indicates the Start and End Dates of the Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown.

4Current Losing Streak

The Current Losing Streak ("Losing Streak") represents the extent of the Advisor's current drawdown.

5Annualized Standard Deviation

Annualized 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.

6Downside Deviation

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.

7Sharpe Ratio

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 Ratio is calculated using a risk-free rate of return.

8Sortino Ratio

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%).

9Sterling Ratio

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.

10Calmar Ratio

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 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.

11Omega Function

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.

12Minimum Investment

Minimum Investment represents the minimum account size.

13Assets Under Management

Assets Under Management ("AUM") represents the current nominal assets traded by the Manager.

14Margin to Equity

Margin to Equity ("Margin") represents the average margin as a percent of a fully funded account.

15Round Turns per Million

Round Turns per Million ("Round Turns") represent the average number of round turns that would be generated in a $1,000,000 account.

16Average Commission

The 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.

17Maximum Commission

Maximum Commission ("Max Comm") is the Maximum Round Turn Rate allowable by the Manager.

Growth of $1,000 VAMI and Monthly Return

Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background

The MCA Strategy is designed to identify trends in the futures markets by using multiple independent intra-day and position trading models. MCA's key strategy is pinpointing when a new price trend is about to commence or when an existing trend is coming to an end. This strategy can be employed across all baskets of commodities but tends to avoid those that are illiquid. Given that that the MCA program is a trend following strategy, the trades can last a couple of days to a couple of months. The program trades a widely diversified portfolio which may include, but is not limited to, livestock, agriculture, energy, metals, stock indices and currency futures.
