Trading Strategy: The O'Brien Investment Group (OBIG) Quantitative Global Macro Futures Program is a systematic strategy diversified across 45 different financial and commodity futures markets including global stock indices, global interest rates, currencies, metals, energies, grains, softs and meats. The foundation of the strategy are long-term trend following models seeking to capture absolute returns. Trend following has historically generated "crisis alpha" during times of stress in the markets. The strategy also incorporates a series of options on futures models with a goal of smoothing out the return stream and to generate positive returns when implied volatility levels are attractive. The option models will not sell naked short open positions. Only covered positions or long puts / long call positions are considered.

Accounting Notes: The strategy was opened up to outside investors in July 2017. The first external managed account began trading July 19, 2017. The performance for July 2017 does not represent a full month. Furthermore, the actual trading results for July 2017 and going forward are pro forma and net of all trading costs to a 1% Management Fee and a 20% Incentive Fee paid quarterly. Separately Managed Account performance can be higher or lower than the below reported performance of the program depending upon several factors such as commission and fee levels, investment amount, duration, the actual prices received and government taxes (if applicable). The results are based on pro forma adjustments assuming the above stated fee structure. In reality, accounts may have different fee structures, higher or lower commission rates and can be traded with a higher or lower leverage which could result in significant different performance in an actual account.
