Trading Strategy: The objective of the Bensboro Seasonal Spread Trading Program is to produce low-correlation returns using a seasonal approach to futures spread trading. Risk Strategy: PROCESS: We target total margin commitments generally between 5-20% of assets, with a target of 12.5%. We typically employ loss limit targets on individual spread positions and maximum allocations for each category. We use spreads across a wide variety of instruments and categories with varying time horizons and sides (bull, bear, and inter-commodity spreads) in an attempt to aid in risk mitigation through diversification.

Accounting Notes: This report reflects the performance of Bensboro Advisors, LLC's Seasonal Spread Trading Program (the "Program"). Returns reflect performance in customer accounts managed pursuant to the Program.
