Strategy Description

Summary

-The Orion managed futures program has been designed to trade the same commodity interests as the Worldwide program, the majority of which are either long or short interest rate contracts reflecting interest rates in the EMU, the UK and Australia. Also followed are several Non-U.S. grains, softs, metals and fuels. The program currently trades 50 different commodity interests. The program uses eight models, which are not used in any of the other programs of CCM. CCM reserves the right to use these models in any of its programs or pools that it manages or will manage in the future. Six of the models are intermediate time-frame focus with similar characteristics to those in the Global Basic and Global Magnum programs. The other two models are long-term models and are variations of two of the more successful models used elsewhere by CCM. It should be noted that under the Orion program, many of the commodity contracts followed are interest rate related. There will be times when there is significant correlation among global interest rates, possibly in an adverse direction to positions held in a client's account. The risk control limits of this program, when comparing Net Open Dollar Risk to Current Account Equity will generally be higher than in the Domestic Diversified program. Clients of the Orion program should be aware that this factor alone, although there are others, will lead to periods of extreme volatility and possibly very large drawdowns in a client's equity.

Risk Disclosures

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITY FUTURES, OPTIONS, AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE ("FOREX") IS SUBSTANTIAL.

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. THE HIGH DEGREE OF LEVERAGE THAT IS OFTEN OBTAINABLE IN COMMODITY FUTURES, OPTIONS, AND FOREX TRADING CAN WORK AGAINST YOU AS WELL AS FOR YOU. THE USE OF LEVERAGE CAN LEAD TO LARGE LOSSES AS WELL AS GAINS. IN SOME CASES, MANAGED COMMODITY ACCOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL CHARGES FOR MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORY FEES. IT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR THOSE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THESE CHARGES TO MAKE SUBSTANTIAL TRADING PROFITS TO AVOID DEPLETION OR EXHAUSTION OF THEIR ASSETS. THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT CONTAINS A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS AND EACH FEE TO BE CHARGED TO YOUR ACCOUNT BY THE COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR ("CTA"). THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION ("CFTC") REQUIRE THAT PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS OF A CTA RECEIVE A DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT BEFORE THEY ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WHEREBY THE CTA WILL DIRECT OR GUIDE THE CLIENT'S COMMODITY INTEREST TRADING AND THAT FEES AND CERTAIN RISK FACTORS BE HIGHLIGHTED. IASG WILL PROVIDE YOU A COPY OF THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT AT NO COST. YOU SHOULD REVIEW THE CTA'S DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT AND STUDY IT CAREFULLY TO DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
