29 Why do CTAs have such beneficial effects on tail risk? Early academic foundation Significant positive skewness characteristcs Unusually good performance in period of negative benchmark performance 29
30 Early Academic Foundation Professor John K. Lintner of Harvard University The Potential Role of Managed Commodity-Financial Futures Accounts (and/or Funds) in Portfolios of Stocks and Bonds The improvements from holding an efficiently-selected portfolio of managed accounts or funds are so large, and the correlation between returns on the futures portfolios and those on the stock and bond portfolios are so low (sometimes even negative), that the return/risk tradeoffs provided by augmented portfolios clearly dominate the tradeoffs available from portfolio of stocks alone or from a portfolio of stocks and bonds. 30

33 Managed Futures / CTA Strategies: Liquid Transparent Uncorrelated alpha (monthly, no lockups / gating) (managed accounts) (negatively correlated in periods of stress) 33
34 Building HF portfolios capable of generating absolute return within stressful market environments: Balance convergent and divergent investing approaches. Avoid mean-variance optimizations (and optimizations in general). Be careful of correlations that increase during crisis events. Consider portfolio skewness (try to minimize tail risk, coincidental drawdowns). There are multiple pathways to building the desired portfolio. 34

Hypothetical returns are based upon estimates and reflect subjective judgments and assumptions. These results were achieved by means of a mathematical formula and do not reflect the effect of unforeseen economic and market factors on decision-making. The hypothetical returns are not necessarily indicative of future performance, which could differ substantially
38 Disclaimers: HFRI Indexes are not investable (but HFRX history is much shorter). Model performance results have inherent limitations. The allocations presented involve substantial strategy concentrations. 38
39 Thank You
40 Important Disclosures: Sample benchmarks sample portfolio return streams represent model performance. Model performance does not represent the profit or loss resulting from actual trades. Rather, this model performance was generated by applying different investment allocations to various indices (the Sample Benchmark ), and then combining the Sample Benchmark with the return stream of various indexes. Model performance results have inherent limitations, such as being prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, model trading does not involve financial risk and no model trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points that can adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of model performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. This document is being provided per your request.
