PAST RESULTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RETURNS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT ANY INVESTMENT WILL ACHIEVE ITS OBJECTIVES, GENERATE PROFITS OR AVOID LOSSES.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS: Managed futures and other alternative investments are not suitable for all investors. Their investment programs are speculative and performance can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. They involve a high degree of risk and often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss. In addition, they can be highly illiquid; are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors; may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing

important tax information; may not be subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds; and often charge high fees which may offset any trading profits. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss. Alternative investment managers typically exercise broad investment discretion and may apply similar strategies across multiple investment vehicles, resulting in less diversification. Trading may occur outside the United States which may pose greater risks than trading on US exchanges and in US markets.

Additionally, alternative investments often entail futures, forwards contracts and swaps trading, which involves substantial risk of loss and may be volatile. Other risks inherent in an investment in alternatives include short sales, options,
derivatives, junk bonds, emerging markets and limited regulatory oversight.

There may not be a secondary market for an investor's interest in alternative investments, and none may develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in some types of alternative investments.
