Program Description: The program is designed to be a robust and cash efficient method of hedging long market exposure by utilizing long positions in VIX futures during market crisis. This program is not, by any means, a perpetual hedge against the market; it is a dynamic actively traded long volatility strategy that is designed to capture profits during severe market declines. that is to say, this program should not be expected to hedge equity market declines of less than 10 to 15%. The managers believe that a perpetual hedge that protects against small losses is an inefficient and extremely costly method of protecting an equity portfolio. This program is designed to yield profits of substantial magnitude when volatility levels spike 200 to 500%. The program utilizes long spreads butterflies, and single contracts in VIX futures to accomplish its aims.

The program features a unique incentive fee structure that is benchmarked to its own performance as well as that of the S&P index. A 1% management fee also applies.
