Summary

-Lafayette Trading, LLC ("Lafayette") employs a short-term, systematic model to generate trade signals on U.S. time zone equity index future contracts. The technology is comprised of ten different alpha generating algorithms. The algorithms work in tandem to generate the trade direction and risk allocation.Nov 2001-Aug 2006 performance is the Lafayette technology with pro-forma 2% management fee deducted monthly and 20% incentive fee as traded by TDA in a securities portfolio. Sep 2006-Sep 2008 performance is the Lafayette technology with pro-forma 2% management fees and 20% incentive fee as traded by TDA in a futures portfolio. Results Oct 2008 – June 2009 is the net performance (2/20) for proprietary accounts managed by Lafayette Trading, LLC. Beginning in July of 2009 to present the results are the net performance of client accounts managed by Lafayette.

Investment Strategy

The technology currently trades the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Russell 2000, and Nikkei 225 (dollar denominated) index futures contracts. All trades are short-term, with new trade signals generated on a daily basis. Historically, the technology is in cash approximately 50% of the time and the maximum leverage employed on any single position is 2:1. Historically, for those times when a signal is generated to take market risk, approximately 65% of the positions are long and 35% are short.

Risk Management

Based on new market data every trade is evaluated on a daily basis and therefore has a time-stop of approximately 24 hours. In addition, the algorithms work in tandem so that the size of the position is dictated by several factors, the number of algorithms that are triggered, which algorithms trigger, and the market environment in which the algorithms are triggering.

   

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