Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background

The Mustang Fund LP is a multi-strategy absolute return portfolio designed for all weather performance. The Fund intends to achieve its investment objective primarily through the selection of non-correlated, primarily systematic, actively traded strategies and the allocation among them. Through the use of short and medium term futures and option positions, the various managers seek absolute return in a favorable risk-reward ratio. The portfolio is structured to have a risk parity foundation with trend and counter-trend trades to increase and reduce exposure as the individual market profiles change.

The program currently trades

  • 22.5% - The Diversified Short-Term Strategy utilizes a unique approach to implement 100% systematic short-term trading strategies, leveraging multiple momentum and mean reversion based systems which incorporate price, time, volatility and pattern recognition into its dynamic models. The portfolio is diversified over multiple markets, multiple time-frames, multiple systems and adheres to a strict risk management approach applied at all levels.
  • 22.25% - The Global Tactical Strategy uses technical indicators to capture positive capital flows between major asset groups in response to the general global macroeconomic environment. Dynamic volatility filters work to maintain balanced risk allocations in open positions and control the volatility of the overall portfolio. This is a core portfolio strategy with the aim of creating positive returns over the long-term in any economic scenario.
  • 22.25% - Prime Macro Strategy trades a concentrated portfolio of about 30 of the most liquid futures over four asset classes (equity indices, interest rates, currencies, and commodities) globally. The strategy consists of several sub-models (sub-strategies) that can be classified into three different categories: directional, relative value and basket models. The combined result of these three model types is a single directional position in each market.
  • 22.25% - Aegir Strategy is a systematic approach to exploit relative-value opportunities in the exchange-traded energy sector. The strategy focuses primarily on the crude oil and related product markets and aims to exploit price differentials both within and between these markets. The strategy does not rely on outright price movement to produce returns.
  • 11.00% - The Hedge Equity Strategy only takes pair trades that are long the VIX and long the S&P. The strategy takes term structure trades in which the first month of the trade is long. This program is designed for investors that want neither short VIX nor outright long S&P exposure. The strategy, also, adjusts intra trade risk metrics to better profit in a market with rapidly increasing volatility.

Risk is managed on a per-trade basis through a stop loss or through a trend change triggering a reversal trade. In addition, risk is reduced through diversification of un-correlated strategies. Through this low correlation and a positive expectancy across each of the strategies, we expect to have reduced volatility and drawdown. Further, we aim to maintain a low to negative correlation to the stock market.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

Accounting Notes:

The tables and graphs herein were created using actual reported returns from the separately managed accounts of the sub advisors. Track record prior to January 2022 represents the live client traded managed account track record of the five strategies. January 2022 forward, shaded, is Mustang fund live returns. The returns and statistics represent hypothetical composite performance. This composite performance record is hypothetical and these trading advisors have not traded together in the manner shown in the composite. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any multi-advisor managed account or pool will or is likely to achieve a composite performance record similar to that shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between a hypothetical composite performance record and the actual record subsequently achieved. One of the limitations of a hypothetical composite performance record is that decisions relating to the selection of trading advisors and the allocation of assets among those trading advisors were made with the benefit of hindsight based upon the historical rates of return of the selected trading advisors. Therefore, composite performance records invariably show positive rates of return. For the returns above, weightings between the sub advisors are equal and constant for the entirety of the composite performance. Furthermore, the composite performance record may be distorted because the allocation of assets changes from time to time and these adjustments are not reflected in the composite.
