The back test results presented above are hypothetical and were derived using optimized futures performance data
alongside a historical test of the options strategy. The options portion uses an orderbook reconstruction technique and is an accurate representation of the performance of a hypothetical managed account trading this strategy. The test period
intentionally includes the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to demonstrate the performance during a period of significant
market volatility. The performance shown includes costs such as bid/ask spreads, broker and exchange fees and manager
fees (20% of performance). Profits are assumed to be reinvested. The data is provided by Advanced Alpha Advisers, LLC,

fees than those used to calculate this performance); target volatility (clients can select any target volatility between 5% and 50%) and minimum account size ($1m for all accounts with 16% target volatility). Other accounts that traded
different versions of this strategy are not included in these results; these accounts achieved lower returns.

* HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER - THIS COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD IS HYPOTHETICAL AND THESE TRADING ADVISORS HAVE NOT TRADED TOGETHER IN THE MANNER SHOWN IN THE COMPOSITE. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY MULTI-ADVISOR MANAGED ACCOUNT OR POOL WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE A COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD SIMILAR TO THAT SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD AND THE ACTUAL RECORD SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED.
ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF A HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD IS THAT DECISIONS RELATING TO THE SELECTION OF TRADING ADVISORS AND THE ALLOCATION OF ASSETS AMONG THOSE TRADING ADVISORS WERE MADE WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT BASED UPON THE HISTORICAL RATES OF RETURN OF THE SELECTED TRADING ADVISORS. THEREFORE, COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORDS INVARIABLY SHOW POSITIVE RATES OF RETURN. ANOTHER INHERENT LIMITATION ON THESE RESULTS IS THAT THE ALLOCATION DECISIONS REFLECTED IN THE PERFORMANCE RECORD WERE NOT MADE UNDER ACTUAL MARKET CONDITIONS AND, THEREFORE, CANNOT COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FURTHERMORE, THE COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE RECORD MAY BE DISTORTED BECAUSE THE ALLOCATION OF ASSETS CHANGES FROM TIME TO TIME AND THESE ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE COMPOSITE.
CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE PARTICULARLY WARY OF PLACING UNDUE RELIANCE ON THESE RESULTS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE HAD LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE ALLOCATING ASSETS AMONG PARTICULAR CTA PROGRAMS, AND BECAUSE THERE MAY BE NO ACTUAL ALLOCATIONS STARTING ON THE EXACT SAME DATES, WITH THE EXACT SAME CAPITAL, ETC. TO COMPARE TO THE PERFORMANCE RESULTS FROM THE HYPOTHETICAL ALLOCATION. IN THIS HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE, IT IS COMMON THAT PROGRAMS WILL HAVE DIFFERENT DATES OF INCEPTION. IN THIS CASE, THE PERFORMANCE LISTED ONLY REFLECTS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ACTIVE CTA PROGRAMS AT THAT TIME. IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED FOR THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF THE HYPOTHETICAL PORTFOLIO TO CHOOSE THE START DATE OF THE NEWEST CTA PROGRAM IN THE PORTFOLIO.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES OF PROFIT. PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS SHOULD NOT BASE THEIR DECISION ON INVESTING SOLELY ON THE PAST PERFORMANCE PRESENTED HEREIN.
