SpreadEdge Ag Seasonal Spread Program is designed to provide exposure to a broad base of U.S. agricultural futures markets. Markets generally traded include (but are not limited to) wheat, corn, soybeans, soybean meal, soybean oil, live cattle, feeder cattle, lean hogs, cotton, coffee, sugar, cocoa, and orange juice.
The Program seeks to achieve significant profits across a broad variety of market conditions (both bull and bear markets, and inflationary and deflationary environments). To achieve their objectives, the Programs involve speculating in futures contracts (or options thereon) available for trading on any U.S. exchange. Trades are typically seasonal calendar spreads or intra-commodity spreads (such as Chicago vs. Kansas City wheat). Inter-commodity spreads are not generally used. Options are normally not used, but could be used in extreme market conditions for risk management purposes.
