Accounting Notes: Note: Net portfolio returns (inclusive of a monthly performance fee of 20%) were compiled by CSI from monthly statements ob tained independently by CSI from Interactive Brokers. Monthly rates of return are calculated pursuant to the Only Accounts Traded M ethod ("OAT"). Under this method, rates of return are computed by dividing the aggregate net performance by the aggregate beginning equity for only those accounts which traded during the entire month and which had no material additions or withdrawals. It e xcludes new accounts, closed accounts, accounts that were open for only part of the month, and accounts which had material (i.e., 10% or more of beginning equity) additions or withdrawals, and other factors that may possibly distort rates of return. As of November 3 0 , 2024, Ahead Capital Management LLC maintained discretionary authority over 1 client account with total AUM of $ 10 .1 m . The net portfolio returns and AuM represent those of one client that executed power of attorney with Anton Barinov, with NAV of $10,0m as of Nov 30, 2023.
