Trading Strategy: The Neutral strategy aims to generate consistent absolute returns while reducing risk exposure. It primarily invests in near-expiration option spreads on S&P 500 futures. Positions are structured to be market (Delta) neutral and Vega neutral to limit exposure to market risks. The strategy can profit in both rising and falling markets with a large profit window and high probability of generating profits. It evolved from our extensive experience in trading index futures and related options, and utilizes our patent-pending techniques to identify market inefficiencies and make high-probability trades only when potential profits significantly exceed potential losses. Risk Strategy: Risk control is the highest priority for the Neutral strategy. Portfolios are initially hedged to be "market neutral" with both long and short legs of similar value. Notably, Neutral strategies are managed to be "Vega neutral" and optimized with a slightly positive net Vega exposure. To mitigate the risk of an extreme downside market move, further risk management measures will be implemented to fully hedge relevant short legs with corresponding index futures. At expiration, the hedging futures positions would fully offset potential losses. With such risk control measures, Neutral has achieved a low worst peak-to-valley drawdown and has been repeatedly ranked among the top performers by AutumnGold and BarclayHedge.

Accounting Notes: The rates of monthly return are calculated in accordance with CFTC Regulation 4.35 and NFA rule 2-34, net of all fees.
