Accounting Notes
The performance data represents actual results of an account of QTS Partners, LP, which is a commodity pool managed by the CTA, and
adjusted to trade a fixed number of contracts in a nominal account. The strategy traded UPRO in 2012, and the returns then were computed as
return-on-equity. The results reflect the deduction of transaction fees actually incurred as well as pro forma deductions of a management and
incentive fee of 0.5% and 20% respectively, taken monthly (incentive fee subject to a high water mark) Due to the fixed number of contracts,
returns are not compounded. No representation is being made that the clients of the CTA will experience results that are the same as the
performance of the QTS Partners, LP account, as shown here. All investments involve risk, including the loss of principal. There can be no
assurance that the CTA will achieve its objectives or will otherwise meet the CTA's expectations. We currently can only accept clients who are
Qualified Eligible Persons defined in CFTC Rule 4.7.
