Disclosure Statement

Information on Commodity Trading Advisors and Commodities/Futures Pools contained in this report is based upon information obtained from specific CTA Disclosure Documents/ Pool Prospectuses, or the CTAs or pool operators themselves. While the information is believed to be reliable, because of the complexities involved with the data and the fact that it has not been verified, we cannot guarantee its completeness or accuracy.

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 of 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.

The risk of loss in trading commodity futures can be substantial. Therefore, investors need to carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for them in light of their own specific financial condition. In some cases, managed futures accounts are subject to substantial charges for management and advisory fees. It may be necessary for those accounts that are subject to these charges to make substantial trading profits to avoid depletion or exhaustion of their assets.

The STAR 300 CTA report does not constitute a solicitation to invest in any program included herein. Prior to making an investment in a futures pool or directly with a CTA, one should carefully study the accompanying prospectus and/or disclosure document required by the CFTC. This publication is designed to provide readers with accurate and objective information in regard to managed futures investments. It is offered free with the understanding that the publisher is not engaged in rendering legal, financial, brokerage, or other professional advice. If legal or other expert assistance is required, the services of a competent professional should be sought.
