* Because all managed accounts which followed Trading Edge Select, Trading Edge, and Trading Edge LT strategies used MF Global as a custodian and thus could not be traded in November and December 2011, performances for Trading Edge Select, Trading Edge, and Trading Edge LT strategies were calculated for November and December 2011 (and January 2012 for Trading Edge LT) pro forma based on the actual performance of Trading Edge ST strategy (which employed Open E Cry, LLC as a custodian). Pro forma calculations used the following facts: (1) since April 2011, all 4 SIM's strategies have used the same signals and made the same trades; (2) the only difference between the 4 SIM's strategies is the employed leverage: Trading Edge trades 1 e-mini contract per $15K of equity, Trading Edge ST - 1 contract per $30K of equity, Trading Edge LT - 1 contract per $60K of equity, and Trading Edge Select - 1 contract per $18K. The slight variation in performance could be only possible due to some differences in commissions and fees paid and the account sizes, but it would not affect the results substantially.
