Trading Strategy: The Advisor currently is accepting accounts in its Agricultural Futures Program (the "Program"). The Program's objective is to achieve substantial profits with relatively low levels of performance volatility. There is no assurance the Program will achieve its objectives or that clients will avoid substantial losses. The Program primarily involves the speculative trading of futures contracts on grains and meat products. However, the Program is not limited to those markets. In implementing the Program, the Advisor may speculate or trade in any futures or options contract traded on a U.S. futures exchange, either now or in the future (collectively, "Commodity Interests"). Such instruments may include, without limitation, futures contracts (and options thereon) on any of the following: physical commodities in addition to grain and meat products, interest- rate sensitive products, financial instruments, and stock indices. Risk Strategy: N/A

Accounting Notes: The track record reflects the composite performance of all client accounts participating in the Program. The performance has been adjusted to reflect the effect of the Advisor's 2% Management Fee and 20% Incentive Fee. As of October 1, 2014, the monthly rate of return is computed using the daily compounded method so that daily changes in nominal value are incorporated into the composite program return. For return calculation purposes, additions are effective at the start of the day and withdrawals are effective at the end of the day. Prior to October 1, 2014, the monthly rate of return was computed using the "Only Accounts Traded" method, pursuant to which the performance of accounts that are open for only part of a month, or accounts that materially change their nominal value during a month, is not included in the composite performance.

Annual Compound Rate of Return - The Annualized Compounded Rate of Return represents the average return of the CTA over the time frame of the report. It smoothes out returns by assuming constant growth.
Calmar Ratio - The Calmar Ratio - Calmar Ratio represents the historical amount gained for each dollar risked. A higher number is better. Unless otherwise denoted the Calmar Ratio is calculated by dividing the 36 month Compounded ROR by the 36 month Peak to Valley Drawdown. Traders with less than 36 months of data or a negative Calmar Ratio will be indicated by N/A.
Sharpe Ratio - The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted ratio that rewards consistency of returns. Traders are penalized for volatility regardless of whether it is on the up or downside. The Sharpe Ratios is calculated using a 1% risk-free rate of return.
Round Turns - Represents the annual number of Round Turns per $1 million.
