Summary

Alpha Z Futures Fund LLC is an alternative investment fund formed to trade futures and futures options on the Standard & Poor’s 500. The Fund’s trading is conducted by Alpha Z Advisors, LLC. Trading methods are quantitative, systemic and discretionary. Trades are based on decades of extensive research conducted by Dr. Ziemba and trading experience in stock market calendar anomalies, arbitrage strategies and behavioral biases.

Investment Strategy

The trades involve long futures positions, futures spreads, option sales and option purchases that Dr. Ziemba’s proprietary research indicates to have mispricings. Market exposure is based on the calculated funds or margin behind each position. The Manager’s trading also employs Dr. Ziemba’s proprietary stock market prediction models and crash prediction models.

Risk Management

Risk/reward is assessed by the calculating potential loss of new and current positions. Overall portfolio is measured. Careful attention has been paid to current market conditions and adjusting portfolio size quickly.

   

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options, and foreign exchange ("forex") is substantial.
