Summary

The performance results above are a composite of all accounts managed by EvE traded pursuant to the referenced program whose rates of return do not differ materially, except as such returns may differ as a result of differences in incentive fees resulting from any unrecouped loss or losses carried forward from prior periods. 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 Strategy

The 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.
