The Notes Below Are An Integral Part of this Report
| Track Record Compiled By: Compliance Supervisors

Program Description: The strategy pursues tactical opportunities in G5 equity and sovereign bond indexes, as well as currencies and commodities.

* We focus on turning points in market narratives, as well as trades around important macro events
* The strategy is directional and is concentrated on 1-2 themes at a time
* Investment decisions factor in economic fundamentals, price action, investor sentiment and positioning, as well as potential price catalysts

Risk management was tightened in Q3 2021 to reflect expectations of growing economic uncertainty and market volatility. As part of that, trading became more catalyst-oriented with smaller trade sizes. As a result, portfolio volatility decreased substantially.
