STRATEGY

g overall portfolio volatility and generating superior risk adjusted returns.

The trading manager aims to keep the portfolio as diversified and as consistent as possible.The technical trading strategies use price information to generate entry and exit points and follows decision making models to purchase, sell and establish profit and stop loss points. Intellige

nt and effective risk management is a core component of each strategy.

Our portfolio system approach executes trades based on different parameters and marketconditions and provides the potential to better capitalize on differences in market movement -either on the long or short side of the market. Some systems perform well during a market tha

t is trending, and other systems capitalize on trading opportunities during sideways or choppymarkets.

PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION

The objective of Market Treasury Systems (Diversified Program) is to generate attractive riskadjusted absolute returns through active positions, in a restricted universe of highly liquid

currencies.

To deliver on this objective the currency programs achieve diversification by the use ofnumerous currency strategies each with different, but complementary, philosophies and

objectives.

The aim of the programs is to capture medium term trends in the currency market as well asadding value in non-directional markets where short-term trends and trend-reversals can be

prevalent (an environment typically presenting traditional currency strategies with challengingtrading conditions).

The currencies currently traded in these programs are USD, JPY, EUR, GBP, CHF, NZD, CADand AUD.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is an essential part of our process and is rigorously applied both in theportfolio construction phase via risk diversification and through stop-loss rules.

Risk is monitored through a systematic policy of drawdown limits, risk analysis and appliedleverage, and markets are constantly monitored in real-time in order to allow us to dynamically

adjust positions to reflect significant changes in market risk.

Risk from a macro perspective is limited to no more than potential gain on a monthly basis.

Because we allocate risk across a number of currency pairs and by overlaying and blendingstrategies using a portfolio of different philosophies and objectives, investors achieve greaterdiversification and we are generally able to provide higher returns with less drawdown than

other trading programs.

otal amount managed.

Our percentage allocation platform enables clients to start with smaller account balances toparticipate in our professionally managed trading programs without having to commit large su

ms until they are satisfied with the performance.
