Program Description: Princeton Investments and Technologies ("PINT") uses the Commodity Arbitrage Plus Program ("CAPP") to manage client accounts presently. The CAPP has two sets of strategies, the Commodity Arbitrage Strategy ("CAS") and the Macro Trading Strategy ("MTS"). The CAS trades commodity calendar spread futures while the MTS trades with the stock index futures. Based upon our extensive trading experience in the commodity calendar spread markets, our program focuses on these niche markets while invests semi-passively in the stock index futures in an attempt to mitigate major drawdowns.
