  • Trading Strategy: AIS' Multi-Asset Allocation Portfolio ("MAAP") Program seeks to provide growth of capital through investment in both commodity and financial futures contracts. The AIS MAAP Program seeks to identify and capitalize on longer-term price movements in the futures markets traded and differs from its peers because 1) the strategy has a heavier emphasis on commodities than most other managed futures programs, and 2) the strategy's investment process is "discretionary global macro" rather than purely computerized or algorithmic. The portfolio takes long, short, or neutral positions in highly liquid futures markets across six sectors. Over its 22-year track record, the AIS MAAP Program has delivered low realized correlations to other macro and CTA programs, owing to its higher-than-typical allocation to commodities and its differentiated investment process. This composite represents those AIS MAAP Program accounts for which the firm has applied leverage such that the aggregate contract value of positions held are usually between two and four times the equity invested ("MAAP (2X-4X)").
