Accounting Notes

Net returns for the Quantitative Cipher Program are calculated assuming 0% management fees and 30% incentive fees for a representative investor since the March 2019 launch of the Quantitative Cipher Program, which reflects the most fees paid by any investor. Returns for each month for the period from 3/1/19 through 12/31/23 were calculated by summing a daily series of aggregate returns for all client managed accounts in the Quantitative Cipher Program; the returns series then switches on 1/1/24 to the monthly return for the Cipher Fund at 1X leverage. In addition to the fees referenced above, such returns are shown net of all expenses incurred by the Cipher Fund at 1X leverage. A direct investment in the Quantitative Cipher Program is not possible; an individual account or particular trading portfolio may have realized more or less favorable results. Information herein that is related to the latest month’s performance is based on estimated data.

Monthly ROR and drawdowns are based on end-of-month values and do not reflect intramonth volatility.
