Summary

The WestCay LLC Tropicals Program is a pure discretionary trading strategy in Coffee and other soft commodity futures, options and calendar spreads, managed by the Principals, Andrew Jarmolkiewicz and Andre Vollmann. The Principals enjoy a combined 37 years experience across trading, research and managing large institutional fund mandates in their careers. The strategy exploits irregularities between the fundamentals of supply and demand in a market, the term structure of the futures market, the term structure of the volatility in the market and the current valuation of the market. The Principals utilise their own proprietary fundamental research to try and understand all aspects of the markets they trade in order to identify and manage opportunities, which could be market-neutral or directional.

The performance results presented are of actual accounts. The actual fees charged to these accounts were the same as those under the Advisor's Fee Structure A. The performance presented above includes actual management fees of 1/12 of 1% charged monthly and a quarterly incentive fee of 15%. For the periods January 2014 and January 2017, the accounts being presented were not charged fees. Therefore, for these periods the performance has been adjusted to reflect a 1/12 of 1% monthly management fee and a 15% quarterly incentive fee. No investment in the Advisor's Program should be made until you have received, read, and fully understood the Advisor's Disclosure Document.
