  • Trading Strategy: The Program attempts to generate profits through the Advisor's discretionary selection of futures and options trades in agricultural markets. Trades are selected on the basis of fundamental analysis, which is concerned with any factor that would affect the supply and demand, and therefore the price, of a given instrument. The Advisor's market analysis tends to focus on seasonal trends and year-to-year comparisons. The Advisor absorbs and interprets a wide range of research on a daily basis, employing its principals' combined 40+ years of experience in agricultural futures markets. However, there is no assurance the Program will meet its objectives or that clients will avoid substantial losses.

    Accounting Notes: In July 2012 the Assets Under Managed dropped by $2,400,000 due to the closing of Peregrine Financial Group.
