The trading strategy
attempts to identify optimal trading opportunities. The approach is primarily guided by
observation of spreads within a particular market. It is the assumption of TCC that, by studying
and investing in the spreads between contract months, commodities, and various commodity
classes, an investor can earn substantial profits with acceptable risks. TCC believes that the
spread markets provide numerous trading opportunities as speculators, hedgers, and commercial
interests move commodity positions from one contract month, commodity, or commodity class to
another. TCC may refine or change its trading approach (including enhancements or changes to
the trading system or deletion of commodity interests traded) at any time without prior notice.
The Program’s portfolio is structured to include various outright positions and spread positions.
