Summary

Accounting Notes: June 2015 - October 2018 represents pro-forma proprietary returns which have been adjusted to reflect a 2% management fee and 20% incentive fee. This period also represents proprietary AUM. Performance from November 2018 represents client returns and client AUM only. The first client account began trading on November 20, 2018; therefore, the return for November 2018 is that of a partial month. The proprietary account that has been trading since June 2015 realized a 1.80% pro-forma rate of return for the full month of November 2018.

Investment Strategy

Allocates capital between multiple quantitative trading strategies in order to maximize risk-adjusted return. Algorithms identify specific price patterns, volume, regression and momentum factors, among others, which tend to predict price trends leading into the morning trading session for various futures markets. Seeks to capitalize on long and short opportunities - strategies were designed to profit during high volatility environments providing the potential for diversification during market corrections. Executes trades across a wide range of domestic futures markets including equity indices, financials, commodities, and currencies. Intraday trading - low margin usage and limited exposure to overnight or weekend gaps.

Risk Management

Position sizing is dynamic based on market volatility - higher volatility yields reduced position sizes. Algorithms monitor portfolio wide positions in an attempt to restrict cumulative positions across strategies and correlated markets. Algorithms run on a co-located virtual server with redundant power and internet service. The virtual server is monitored 24/7 and PCM is alerted in the event of a software or server malfunction. PCM receives real-time updates as the strategies’ algorithms analyze the market and execute trades. Algorithms monitor realized and unrealized P&L and trading halts have been established in an attempt to restrict losses on a daily and cumulative basis.
