In May 2016, EVE LLC restated proforma returns to correct previous performance which included unrecouped loss carry forward balances from prior periods unrelated to this program. The historical returns presented represent the performance as calculated by NAV Consulting from July 2013 moving forward.. There are differences between these returns and those previously reported by EvE, LLC. From Dec 2006 - June 2013 this track record was based on a series of model accounts. In January 2008 leverage was reduced by approximately 1/3 and again by 1/2 in August 2008.Investment StrategyThe Emil van Essen Spread Trading Program seeks non-correlated alpha through the spread and relative value trading of exchange-listed futures and options contracts. The program primarily trades commodities through calendar spreads. Outright commodities as well as inter-commodity, interest rate, and equity volatility spreads are also included. Quantitative research and significant discretion are used with the goal of generating strong returns in various market environments. The program typically has a low to negative correlation to benchmarks including CTA, commodity and stock indices with a track record dating back to December 2006.Risk ManagementHigh-Minimum Pre-Deleverage August 2007 to September 2007: -35.89% Post-Deleverage November 2007 to December 2007: -0.90 Compare to: {{result.name}} {{result.description}} Index: Chart Type: AUM & Cumulative Returns Cumulative Returns Distribution Rolling Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
