the level of risk.

STRATEGY

The investment programs are a proprietary approach combining a unique blend of momentum, v olatility and trend identification components to enter and exit positions. In addition, a comprehen

sive risk management system is integrated within the program with the objective of reducing ove rall portfolio volatility and generating superior risk adjusted returns.

The trading manager aims to keep the portfolio as diversified and as consistent as possible. The t echnical trading strategies use price information to generate entry and exit points and follows de

cision making models to purchase, sell and establish profit and stop loss points. Intelligent and ef fective risk management is a core component of each strategy.

O ur portfolio system approach executes trades based on different parameters and market condit ions and provides the potential to better capitalize on differences in market movement - either o n the long or short side of the market. Some systems perform well during a market that is

trending, and other systems capitalize on trading opportunities during sideways or choppy markets.

7

.

The trading manager takes an active approach, constantly evaluating market conditions to be ab le to dynamically allocate weightings between the multiple components contained within the por

tfolio by utilizing different trading approaches: breakout opportunities, range trading, momentu m trading and dynamic carry, and managing these components in short- term time horizons, whil

e using longer term systems to stabilize the short term volatility.

The trading manager selects the systems and individual strategies over different time frames so that ideally, we would have 5-20 strategies working in tandem, each performing very well on thei

r own, but in c ombination maximizing the return on the account while maintaining a minimum drawdown.

Our trading managers specialize in system selection, development and proper execution and are dedicated to the development and discovery of new systems, tracking existing systems and

selecting the most consistent, best performing systems available.

THE LARGEST MARKET IN THE WORLD

.

The currency market is growing rapidly, increasing in volume over 600% in the last 10 years alone.

This rapid growth has fuelled a market where $3.2 trillion in volume is traded on a daily basis.

The Euro currency alone is traded at a level of over 5 times the entire NYSE.

MANAGED ACCOUNTS

Separate managed accounts will be managed with absolute, systematic discipline and are specially designed to maximize use of capital and liquidity.

Strategies consist of the setting of risk parameters and the setting of per trade risk filters and an ongoing process of monitoring and responding to changing circumstances.

M anaged accounts are customized to deliver superior risk a djusted returns and positioned alongs ide our proprietary accounts and experience the same real- time portfolio monitoring and risk ma

nagement.

Capital can even be considered as a liquid investment. It can be stated clearly that liquidity is not a risk factor in this investment. There are very few other investments that can boast such near

cash equivalents.

12

.

  A typical trading account is spread across a diversified portfolio of global currencies and the prim ary focus is opportunistic investment trading, generating profits from both upswings and downtur

ns in the currency and precious metals markets. 

The trading managers will select from a range of systems, blend them and adjust them as require d to meet investment objectives.

PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION

The objective of Market Treasury Systems (Diversified Program) is to generate attractive risk adjusted absolute returns through active positions, in a restricted universe of highly liquid

currencies.

To deliver on this objective the currency programs achieve diversification by the use of numerous currency strategies each with different, but complementary, philosophies and

objectives.

The aim of the programs is to capture medium term trends in the currency market as well as adding value in non-directional markets where short-term trends and trend-reversals can be

prevalent (an environment typically presenting traditional currency strategies with challenging trading conditions).

The currencies currently traded in these programs are USD, JPY, EUR, GBP, CHF, NZD, CAD and AUD.

CURRENCY ALLOCATION

ONLINE REPORTING

In our currency management clients have full transparency and can see their investment value and account performance online at all times.

Our account reporting provides clients with their updated statement when required.

Each client can request current, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual statements at any ti me through the trading system.

The statements are generated online and available for hard copy printout.

With separate managed accounts the owner of the account has the only authority and the compl ete control over withdrawals from the account and can view online statements at any time.

20

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is an essential part of our process and is rigorously applied both in the portfolio construction phase via risk diversification and through stop- loss rules.

Risk is monitored through a systematic policy of drawdown limits, risk analysis and applied leverage, and markets are constantly monitored in real- time in order to allow us to dynamically adjust

positions to reflect significant changes in market risk.

Risk from a macro perspective is limited to no more than potential gain on a monthly basis.

Because we allocate risk across a number of currency pairs and by overlaying and blending strategies using a portfolio of different philosophies and objectives, investors achieve greater diversification and we are generally able to provide higher returns with less drawdown than

other trading programs.

21

FUND MANAGER PLATFORM

 Market Treasury Systems f und m anager pl     atform allows the trading manager the capability to m anage multiple accounts on one platform with a percentage allocation scheme.

The trading manager can execute large orders and the profit or loss from the trade is allocated ac ross the accounts on a percentage basis that is the ratio of individual account equity to the total a

mount managed.

      Our percentage allocation platform enables clients to start with smaller account balances to parti   cipate in our professionally managed trading programs without having to commit large sums unti

 l they are satisfied with the performance.

22

.

With our percentage allocation platform the client is able to participate in trades regardless of ac count size.

Each account gets a “piece” of the trade, and the profit and/ or loss realized from the trade is auto matically allocated to individual accounts based on the percentage of assets in the account relati

ve to the total combined assets in all the accounts.

With our percentage allocation platform clients get the benefit of combined trading power based on their cumulative equity, while retaining their individual accounts with no commingling of

funds.

23

IN CONCLUSION

In many cases, we manage all or most of our clients money, which implies a high degree of trust. It also invests us with a greater fiduciary responsibility, one that emphasizes absolute rather than

relative performance.

We remain operationally independent and, therefore, have no conflicts of interest or no external pressure put upon us.

We seek to preserve and increase the value of our clients’ portfolios within agreed risk paramete rs and suitable timeframes.

In addition, experience has taught us that our best source of new business is referrals from client s and professionals who understand our values and investment perspective.
