CTA Introduction

OptHedge Advisors LLC (the "Advisor") is a Commodity Trading Advisor registered with the NFA and the CFTC. The Advisor's objective in managing the OPTHEDGE DIVERSIFIED OPTIONS AND FUTURES TRADING PROGRAM (the "Trading Program") is to achieve appreciation of Clients' assets through speculative trading strategies that involve executing trades on both futures contracts and options on futures contracts. The Trading Program focuses on trading futures and/or options contracts on a diversified pool of futures products, including but not limited to various commodities (such as metals, softs, grains, and energies), stock indexes, U.S. treasury bonds, and foreign currencies. The Trading Program focuses on identifying markets in which "volatility skew" opportunities potentially exist whereby the Advisor may attempt to purchase certain option contracts that may be trading at a low level of implied volatility and sell other option contracts that may be trading at a high level of implied volatility for the same underlying futures product. For example, the Advisor may seek to sell call and/or put options for a given futures product at certain selected strike prices and/or expiration months while simultaneously buying call and/or put options for that same futures product at certain selected strike prices and/or expiration months that may be different than for the options that are selected by the Advisor to be sold. Returns are based on proforma adjustments to a proprietary account to reflect fees. Client accounts will be traded in like fashion.
