Mr. Cunningham: The first thing I have to do is make a few disclosures. Past performance is not indicative of future results and investing in commodities or commodity futures contracts is speculative and can lead to substantial losses. Cunningham Asset Management, LLC's ("CAM") proprietary trading methodology allows for the simultaneous allocation of funds across several asset classes including cash, cash equivalents, equity securities and option contracts, exchange traded funds, fixed income instruments, futures contracts, forward contracts, futures options and other commodity interests. This approach is not restricted against or biased toward any particular market, asset class, industry/sector or individual security. Our objective is to reduce cumulative risk levels without sacrificing overall rates of return. CAM's long-term trend following trading program attempts to detect a trend, or lack of a trend, with respect to a particular commodity or security interest by analyzing price movement and volatility over time. The program consists of multiple interdependent and parallel systems, each designed and tested to seek out and extract market opportunities on different time horizons, although most of the time frames are decidedly long term by industry standards.
TWST: I believe you have a proprietary trading methodology, allowing your
allocation of funds.
Mr. Cunningham: The TPR Trading System is a computerized technical trading
system. TPR is the acronym for Trends, Pattern recognition and Risk management.
We use TPR to make all of our investment and allocation decisions. The system
seeks repetitive market price formations caused by behavioral biases of key
market participants. The system utilizes approaches from the field of behavioral
finance employing non-emotional sets of trading rules to identify substantially
skewed reward-to-risk opportunities.
