  • Trading Strategy: The Private Client Institutional Program seeks to deliver high absolute returns by applying intraday momentum and reversal strategies to the S&P 500 e-mini futures market. It utilizes short term, systematic technical models to capitalize on directional moves in the equity futures markets.

    Accounting Notes: When calculating the yearly rate of return the Advisor resets the nominal value at the beginning of each month and as a result the yearly return is computed as an addition of all months and is not compounded.

    Performance through May�19 is inclusive of both the S&P emini and the Ten-Year treasury futures markets. Performance since is exclusively the S&P emini. Between February 1, 2010 and June 30, 2019 R Best served as a trade manager for Hehmeyer Capital Management, LLC (formerly Kottke Associates, LLC). Hehmeyer Capital Management, LLC was the CTA of record for the Hehmeyer Systematic Treasury and Equity program and is a separate entity from the Advisor. R Best, LLC acted exclusively as its trade manager . Since July 1, 2019 R Best, LLC has acted as CTA of record for the Private Client institutional Program (formerly Hehmeyer Systematic Treasury and Equity program). R Best Private Client Institutional Returns are based on trading of customer accounts. This in-cludes $500k of proprietary funds through Jul’20. No material difference was made to perfor-mance as a result of these proprietary funds being included or subtracted. Performance through May’19 is inclusive of both the S&P emini and the Ten-Year treasury futures markets. Performance since is exclusively the S&P emini.
