Management of the Volatility Capture CTA strategy for outside investors began in May of 2018. At the end of December, the initial investors closed their account. For the purpose of continuity, the returns from Jan 2019 through June 2019 reflect the proforma performance of a proprietary account. No actual fees were charged to this account during that time period, however the performance reflects a performance fee of 20% of profits. Client performance resumes in July 2019 and continues going forward.
