Investment Strategy CCM’s investment strategy is rooted in strict adherence to a quantitative and mechanical trading program that is engineered
to generate profits from the non-normal distribution of price movements in financial markets. Freely traded market moves follow a non-normal distri-
bution curve highlighted by large tails, narrow mid-ranges and a high peak. This phenomenon is measurable and has been thoroughly evidenced in
academia. CCM does not try to predict when trends will emerge, how long they will last, or even how high or low they will go. The only prediction
that CCM makes is that trends will continue to emerge as a function of the market place. CCM’s goal is to capture these large and unexpected price
changes in the most efficient manner possible providing competitive risk adjusted returns over a five-year investment horizon.

Investment Strategy CCM’s investment strategy is rooted in strict adherence to a quantitative and mechanical trading program that is engineered
to generate profits from the non-normal distribution of price movements in financial markets. Freely traded market moves follow a non-normal distri-
bution curve highlighted by large tails, narrow mid-ranges and a high peak. This phenomenon is measurable and has been thoroughly evidenced in
academia. CCM does not try to predict when trends will emerge, how long they will last, or even how high or low they will go. The only prediction
that CCM makes is that trends will continue to emerge as a function of the market place. CCM’s goal is to capture these large and unexpected price
changes in the most efficient manner possible providing competitive risk adjusted returns over a five-year investment horizon.

CCM Performance March 2012

  • 1. Original Program Performance 3100 West End Avenue, Suite 1090 Nashville TN 37203 March 2012 www.covenantcap.com 615 678 6742 Company Covenant Capital Management, LLC (CCM) is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Statistics Compound Annual % 13.79% Commission and the National Futures Association as a Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA), and manages Average Monthly % 1.20% client assets in global futures markets. Founded in 1999, CCM has offices in Nashville, TN, Naperville, IL, and Sharpe Ratio .66 Denver CO. CCM currently manages over $520 million in client assets.

Freely traded market moves follow a non-normal distri- bution curve highlighted by large tails, narrow mid-ranges and a high peak. This phenomenon is measurable and has been thoroughly evidenced in academia. CCM does not try to predict when trends will emerge, how long they will last, or even how high or low they will go. The only prediction that CCM makes is that trends will continue to emerge as a function of the market place. CCM’s goal is to capture these large and unexpected price changes in the most efficient manner possible providing competitive risk adjusted returns over a five-year investment horizon.

The model utilizes Canadian Dollar, Dollar Index, Euro Currency, price data as its only input for determining entry and exit parameters.

This filtering process reduces the number Wheat, Cocoa, Sugar, Coffee, Orange Juice, of trades taken and preserves risk capital for trades that offer the potential for larger magnitude gains.
