Investment Strategy

Arx Gold Program (AGP) is a systematic program that trades options on Gold Futures; it is most commonly used as a hedge against premium selling programs but can stand alone as a strategy. When a signal is generated the Manager uses a combination of options to allow them to capitalize on the strategy without using a high margin-to-equity, thus limiting the potential for a large drawdown. The program is 1) a proprietary systematic trading model, 2) is non-trend following, 3) has a low margin-to-equity ratio, and 4) has non-correlated returns. * Performance prior to February 2012 is the performance of a Principal with Power of Attorney over accounts while Associated Person of an Introducing Broker.
