  • Trading Strategy: NickJen Capital is a discretionary, Natural Resource Commodity Trading Advisor. Our Commodity only program is called the NRD-1. Using both fundamental and technical analysis the ultimate trading decisions are based on fundamentals. 70% of the portfolio strategy focuses on the Agricultural and Soft markets and the remaining balance is composed of the Energy, Meat and Metal sectors. Trading decisions are developed through highly extensive, statistically based analysis, review of supply and demand conditions, inventory levels, weather developments and forecasts and economic trends and reports. This in conjunction with the managers in depth knowledge of markets and physical commodity trading experience is also strengthened by a vast network of industry contacts developed over 25 plus years. Risk Strategy: NickJen Capital employs strict risk parameters which are monitored in real time through the company’s internal risk management system and electronic trading platforms. The company's Chief Risk Officer regulates and administers the internal system. We also utilize a fully integrated and scalable risk system and have a strong focus on operations and controls.

Affected accounts were not included in capsule performance after they were frozen on October 31st as they were not traded according to the trading program.
