ClearPath Program. The ClearPath Managed Futures Program allocates between three distinct, proprietary stock index-based models, which are short-to-intermediate term in nature. The models measure credit market conditions, employment, valuations, market sentiment as well as market breadth. ClearPath’s trading is managed by Portfolio Manager Ralph Vince.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
Monthly Compound Rates of Return
VAMI above is based on monthly compounded rates of reutrn pro-forma of the fees below of a proprietary account of the portfolio manager. The S&P 500 (S&P 500) is presented with gross compound monthly rates of return for benchmarking purposes and is not directly investable. SocGen’s CTA Index (SGCTA) is presented net of all fees using monthly compound returns and is not directly investable. The iShares Aggregate US Bond ETF (US Bonds) is presented net of all fees and inclusive of all distributions to benchmark performance against a diversified portfolio of bonds. Please consider that any index performance is for the constituents of that index only, and does not represent the entire universe of possible investments within that asset class. There can be limitations and biases to indices such as survivorship, self reporting, instant history, etc. Please see accounting notes below.

ClearPath allocates between three distinct, proprietary stock index-based models, which are short-to-intermediate term in nature. The models concentrate their trading in E-mini and Micro S&P 500 futures, though options on these contracts may be traded as well. The risk metrics of any trading program benefit dramatically when a model is not in a position in a given market at all times. This fact can not only reduce correlation to the broad averages, but typically can also improve other metrics like Sharpe ratio. ClearPath accomplishes this by using filters on its the three systems – wherein each system uses a different filter, based on longer-term econometric models. These filters allow only trading signals to be used when consistent with the filter models. The models measure credit market conditions, employment, valuations, market sentiment as well as market breadth.

Below, review ClearPath’s performance relative to major US and international stock indexes, as well as the SocGen CTA Index and a portfolio of Bonds (iShares AGG).
Summary statistics like CAGR and any annualized data should be discounted given the short length of the track record. Only the iShares AGG is an investable product. All other benchmarks listed below are not investable.
ACCOUNTING NOTE
