. Market Treasury Systems  is a diversified strategy and trading systems allocation and risk management progra m,  based on our proprietary arbitrage trading systems and a composite portfolio of multiple trading system s. The trading manager s  investment approach encompasses currency allocatio n,  system selectio n  and portfolio constructio n,  integrated with discretionar y   trading  managemen t and  implementatio n.  Proprietary tools allow  the trading manager  to test various portfolio s,  assigning weights to  systems  with differentiated  strategies , so as to maximize the consistency of  returns and diversify the level of risk. Diversification is achieved through the construction of a portfolio of diverse systems which provide attractive returns and whose differences contribute to risk diversification.
  Our currency trading management is structured to be dynamic in natur e,  continually revised and updated and designed to deliver the optimal expected return for the  client’s  level of risk toleranc e and  can be scaled to the risk profile selected by the clien t.

We e mbrace the philosophy of working in partnership with other service providers who can provide specific expertise and we continually search for the best talent across the full range of a network of independent trader s,  analysts and trading systems worldwide and draw on our industry contacts that provide investment ideas and perspectives from around the glob e.
STRATEGY The investment programs are a proprietary approach combining a unique blend of momentu m,  volatility and trend identification components to enter and exit position s.  In additio n,  a comprehensive risk management system is integrated within the program with the objective of reducing overall portfolio volatility and generating superior risk adjusted return s. The trading manager aims to keep the portfolio as diversified and as consistent as possibl e.  The technical trading strategies use price information to generate entry and exit points and follows decision making models to  purchase,  sell and establish profit and stop loss point s.  Intelligent and effective risk management is a core component of each strateg y. O ur portfolio system approach executes trades based on different parameters and market conditions and provides the potential to better capitalize on differences in market movemen t -  either on the long or short side of the marke t.  Some systems perform well during a market that is trendin g,  and other systems capitalize on trading opportunities during sideways or choppy market s.
. The trading manager takes an active approac h,  constantly evaluating market conditions to be able to dynamically allocate weightings between the multiple components contained within the portfolio by utilizing different trading approache s:  breakout opportunitie s,  range tradin g,  momentum trading and dynamic carr y,  and managing these components in shor t- term time horizon s,  while using longer term systems to stabilize the short term volatilit y.   The trading manager selects the  systems and  individual strategies over different time frames so that ideall y,  we would have  5-20  strategies working in tande m,  each performing very well on their ow n,  but in  c ombination maximizing the return on the account while maintaining a minimum drawdow n.  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.

M anaged accounts are customized to deliver superior risk  a djusted returns and positioned alongside our proprietary accounts and experience the same rea l- time portfolio monitoring and risk managemen t. Capital can even be considered as a liquid investmen t.  It can be stated clearly that liquidity is not a risk factor in this investmen t.

. A typical trading account is spread across a diversified portfolio of global currencies and the primary focus is opportunistic investment tradin g,  generating profits from both upswings and downturns in the currency and precious metals market s.   The trading manager s  will select from a range of system s,  blend them and adjust them as required to meet investment objective s.

2008 PERFORMANCE CHART OF DIVERSE PROGRAMS
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 require d.   Each client can request curren t,  dail y,  weekl y,  monthl y,  quarterly or annual statements at any time through the trading syste m.   The statements are generated online and available for hard copy printou t. With separate managed accounts the owner of the account has the only authority and the complete control over withdrawals from the account and can view online statements at any tim e.
R ISK 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  sto p- loss rule s. Risk is monitored through a systematic policy of drawdown limit s,  risk analysis and applied leverag e, and markets are  constantly monitored in rea l- time in order to allow us to dynamically adjust positions to reflect significant changes in market ris k. Risk from a macro perspective is limited to no more than potential gain on a monthly basi s.   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.
FUND MANAGER PLATFORM Market Treasury Systems  f und  m anager  pl atform allows the trading manager the capability to manage multiple accounts on one platform with a percentage allocation schem e.   The trading manager can execute large orders and the profit or loss from the trade is allocated across the accounts on a percentage basis that is the ratio of individual account equity to the total amount manage d. Our percentage allocation platform enables clients to start with smaller account balances to participate in our professionally managed trading programs without having to commit large sums until they are satisfied with the performanc e.
. With our percentage allocation platform the client is able to participate in trades regardless of account siz e.  Each account gets a  “ piec e”  of the trad e,  and the profit an d/ or loss realized from the trade is automatically allocated to individual accounts based on the percentage of assets in the account relative to the total combined assets in all the account s.   With  our  percentage allocation platform clients get the benefit of combined trading power based on their cumulative equit y,  while retaining their individual accounts with no commingling of fund s.
SECURITY Security and custody of funds is provided by holding investment capital in separate accounts with regulated brokers in Switzerland or the client s’  choice of international  private ban k. Clients are assured that our clearing brokers consistently meet the strictest standards of financial stability and proper handling of client fund s.   Our brokers based in Switzerland holding customers funds are obliged to adhere to the regulatory standards of the Swiss financial authorities and must follow precise due diligence procedures and trading practice s.     Swiss regulation guarantees that brokerage accounts are audited to ensure solvency and proper capitalizatio n,  as well as proper handling of customer account s.  Our clearing broker s’  accounts are audited by wel l r ecognized accounting firm s.   Our Swiss brokerage accounts are held with AAA rated bank s;  UB S,  Credit   Suiss e,  HSB C,  et c.
