Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background
The Seasonal Spread and Option Strategy combines discretionary and seasonal analysis to trade Agricultural, Livestock, Energy and Interest Rate futures. The program may target markets exhibiting certain correlations and/or regression characteristics allowing for the opportunity to utilize spreads, butterflies, and condor positions. The strategy utilizes futures spreads in approximately 95% of the trades. The other 5% consist of options trades.
After the integration process, accounts will be managed using an asymmetric risk management system. This system will involve increasing and/or reducing the operational position volume depending on the profits or losses experienced by the account over time.

Accounting Notes: The performance capsule represents the performance results of actual client trading accounts. These accounts were managed by firm principal Gregory Placsintar who was not required to be registered with the CFTC because his client accounts were all foreign to the United States. Mr. Placsintar's trading in this capacity occurred from September of 2009 until August of 2012. Beginning in August of 2012 discretion over these foreign accounts was transferred from Greg Placsintar the individual to Gregory P. Asset Management, LLC the US based and registered CTA. The capsule, for the entire period presented, was prepared by utilizing actual realized and unrealized gains and losses on commodity futures trading, net of related brokerage commissions and other trading costs. In the presentation from September of 2009 until August of 2012 the accounts shown within the capsule were not charged fees as described in this document. These accounts also may not have been charged commission rates similar to what your account may pay to participate in the Seasonal Spread and Options Strategy. To properly consider the management and incentive fee's disclosed, the fees required by the program were pro-forma adjusted into the return presentation for this period of time. As of August 2012 all advisory fee considerations and standard commissions have been considered on an actual basis.<br><br> NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE THAT GREGORY P.
