There can be no assurance that the investment objective of a managed futures account will be achieved.

Most managed futures accounts are highly leveraged, which may potentially provide higher return, but also increases the overall risk and volatility of the investment.

Managed futures accounts are less liquid than stocks and bonds.

Costs and expenses of managed futures accounts are significantly higher than mutual funds and other investment vehicles.

Investors in managed futures accounts realize taxable gains and losses in the year in which they occur and proper consideration should be given to the tax implications of an investment.

Futures and forward contracts have a high degree of price variability and are subject to occasional rapid and substantial changes. Investing in managed futures is speculative and investors must be prepared to lose all or a substantial amount of their investment.

Although offering potential benefits, an investment in an managed futures account managed by Global Edge Capital Management, involves substantial risk and is only suitable if you have the adequate means to provide for your current needs and personal contingencies, you can bear the economic risk of losing your entire investment and possess an appropriate level of financial sophistication and experience.

You should carefully consider whether your financial condition permits you to open a managed futures account.

This presentation does not constitute an offer or solicitation of securities to anyone in any jurisdiction and is being provided for informational purposes only.

For more information interested parties should read and understand out latest Disclosure Document.

Reduce Portfolio Volatility Risk

One of the key views of Modern Portfolio Theory, as developed by the Nobel Prize economist Dr. Harry M. Markowitz, is that more efficient investment portfolios can be created by diversifying among asset classes with low to negative correlations.

The primary benefit of adding managed futures to a diversified investment portfolio is that it may decrease portfolio volatility risk. This risk-reduction contribution to the portfolio is possible because of the low to slightly negative correlation of managed futures with equities and bonds.

Protect Against Inflation and Possibly Deflation

Managed Futures could also offer protection in an inflationary or possible deflation environment because commodity prices tend to shift up under this economic situation giving opportunities to a Managed Futures fund to profit from these price movements.

Risk Management

Global Edge Capital Management, LLC

Stop losses are used in every trade to attempt a limited loss in each trade and are based on a robust volatility forecasting model and previous price levels.

Risk is defined as the theoretical loss from current price to the stop level, and is calculated on an individual trade level as well as in aggregate on a continual basis.

• Position level: each position has an initial risk ranging from 0.01% to 0.15% of our total equity

•Contract level: Max contract risk set at 1.3% (accounts for multiple systems trading the same contract).

•Sector level : each sector has a maximum risk of 5% of our total equity

•Market volatility is an important element in position sizing

•1800 round turn per million per year

•Average margin to equity: 12%

STOP LOSSES ARE NO GUARANTEE OF EXECUTION PRICE ON FAST MOVING MARKETS.
