Vaca, Ph.D. and Paul Rabar. The sole trading principal, Dr. Vaca, is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vaca Capital Management LLC. Paul Rabar does not participate in the making of trading or operational decisions for the Trading Advisor. [The Trading Advisor has been the general partner and investment manager of Vaca Capital Partners L.P., a private investment fund pursuing a long-short investment strategy in the U.S. public equity markets, since February 25, 2002.] Prior to forming Vaca Capital Management LLC in November 2000, Dr. Vaca was an Executive Researcher at C&D Commodities, Inc., where he researched and implemented systematic trading strategies for the futures and equities markets from 1996 to 2000. While working on his Ph.D., Dr. Vaca taught undergraduate physics at Columbia College (Chicago) from 1992 to 1995. Dr. Vaca earned his B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from the Universidad Michoacana (Mexico) and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Trading Advisor's models were developed through an extensive research and development effort, which uses mathematically and statistically sound research techniques and methodologies. This effort continues on an on going basis. For example, the Trading Advisor continually monitors the models in an attempt to ensure that trade generation and resulting performance are commensurate with expectations from a statistical standpoint. The Trading Advisor's research effort also seeks ways to improve the risk-reward characteristics of existing models and adapt those models to changing market conditions. Finally, through its on going research, the Trading Advisor seeks to develop new models.Investment StrategyDescription of the Trading Program The Trading Advisor utilizes quantitative, statistically driven, parametric models to trade exclusively in exchange-traded futures contracts and options on futures contracts, over-the-counter foreign currency forward contracts and EFP contracts (collectively, "commodity interests"). The models used do not directly take into account fundamental data. Instead, they focus on technical factors such as price movements in both commodity interest contracts and the commodities underlying such contracts, as well as other factors such as volume, volatility, and correlation among markets. The name of the Trading Advisor's Trading Program is the Vaca Global Diversified Program.The trade signals generated by the models are both trend-following and, in certain cases, counter-trend. The signals range in time frame from short-term (i.e., dictating position holding periods of a few days) to longer term (i.e., dictating position holding periods of several months). In virtually all circumstances the Trading Advisor will follow the signals generated by the models. In extreme market conditions, however, the Trading Advisor may choose to override the models in whole or in part in an attempt to mitigate risk and exposure in the portfolio. The Trading Advisor employs strict risk management principles designed to control volatility and provide downside protection. Risk ManagementRisk management techniques include, for example, the sizing of positions proportionately to the position's expected risk-reward. Position sizes are further adjusted to take into account market volatility. Stop losses are also an important part of risk management and are utilized to limit the percentage of the portfolio which is exposed to each position and to a specific market overall. Risk is also controlled through diversification across a multitude of markets and across multiple quantitative models, with varying trend identification schemes and holding periods.
