Trading Strategy: The Diversified Systematic Program seeks to capture trends in a variety of global commodity and futures markets using 31 broadly diversified markets covering seven major sectors: interest rate, currency, stock index, energy, grain, metals and softs. Average holding period is 100 trading days. The program has been refined over the past thirteen years from a multi-system / multi-time frame trend approach to a focus on long term trend following with the constant goal to provide consistent returns while reducing volatility. This transition to a focus on long term trend following began in 2008. Risk Strategy: N/A

Accounting Notes: Performance reported from July, 2011 through November, 2013 represents actual client performance. The last client account ceased trading at the beginning of December, 2013. The performance reported beginning in December, 2013 to present reverted back to the proprietary trading performance of the Diversified Systematic Program.
