12. P HILOSOPHY
S TRATEGIC I NVESTMENT P HILOSOPHY
Focuses on the long-term trend. We believe the time frame is longer term than most
managers within the macro or diversified trend following space. Our trend identification
method is disciplined and highly systematic.
Highlights of our approach include a fundamental overlay, which determines trade
participation and position sizing, a relative strength model, which allows us to
concentrate on the best performers in a sector, and our use of volatility-based exits,
which help us reduce position sizing and take profits that most long-term, directional
programs tend not to capture.

13. I NVESTMENT P ROCESS
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Core markets are selected as the most liquid and representative members of the major asset sectors.
Secondary markets within each sector provide an alternative to core markets when relative strength may
warrant their inclusion.
Technical and fundamental inputs are combined into tested models which are the chief components in our
decision making process.
Technical models determine entry and exit. We do not believe in contradicting trends. Volatility
algorithms may cut position size and tighten stops when market conditions warrant.
Fundamentals are used to determine whether a sectorโs outlook is bullish, bearish or neutral. The
outcomes are combined with our technical models to affect trade initiation, stop placement and position
sizes.
Manager discretion may be used to decrease positions during periods of extreme market conditions.
C O N F I D E N T I A L I N F O R M AT I O N 13
14. I NVESTMENT P ROCESS
Strategic Investment Management has developed fundamental models for stocks, debt,
and commodities. The models are used as a filter to validate technical signals. No
trades in opposition to the major trend will be taken based on the fundamental models
alone.
C O N F I D E N T I A L I N F O R M AT I O N 14
15. I NVESTMENT P ROCESS
Fundamental filters are used as a mechanism that indicates how heavily to
weigh positions and whether to enter or exit a trade on a minor,
intermediate or major signal.

R ISK M ANAGEMENT
Risk Management is the most important aspect of Strategic Investmentโs
approach to the portfolio management process and is the basis for all modeling
and research.
The approach is multi-faceted and has an process dating back to the inception of
the firmโs track record.

R ISK M ANAGEMENT ( CONT .)
L OW L EVERAGE : Average Margin to Equity ratios fall between 5% and 8%, with a maximum of 10%.
While exceptions do occur for certain markets, this puts the firmโs margin to equity ratios on the low end
of the industry spectrum.
S TRICT T REND A DHERENCE : We do not initiate or maintain positions which conflict with the long
term trend as identified by our proprietary algorithms.
C ORRELATION : Each program is constructed to contain multiple asset classes which were selected
because they displayed sufficient negative correlation. Each portfolio is specifically designed and
continuously back tested in order to perform under multiple market scenarios, including ones with a high
degree of inflation or deflation.
V OLATILITY C UTBACKS : Volatility models are used to determine when a specific marketโs volatility
has increased to the point where the risk has become unacceptable. At this time we reduce our positions
and tighten our risk controls on the remaining positions.
