Program Description: Blue Creek Capital Management, LLC's Metals Alpha Program uses a top-down method, beginning with a fundamental approach, digesting quantitative data, and rounding out with technical analysis.

The Advisor will look to current and future central policy shifts, anticipate economic data trends, and assess the macro landscape at large. Expressing a view in markets will also include an assessment of current and future supply-demand imbalances with a favorable risk/reward ratio in the market. While Blue Creek is a CTA, Metals Alpha utilizes a quantimental trend & sentiment approach that stems from the Trading Principal's discretion on asset class selection, sizing, and execution.

The program trades metals, which is assigned specific fundamental triggers and trade structures are designed to limit risk without taking outright short option positions in the market. The Global Opportunities program only trades exchange listed futures and options on futures contracts.
