NOTES TO PERFORMANCE CAPSULE:
All performance information has
been calculated on an accrual basis of accounting
in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles:
The ROR for the period has been
computed on a compounded monthly basis. Rate of
return (ROR) represents gross realized trading
gain (loss), plus or minus changes in unrealized
gain (loss), plus interest income and minus brokerage
commissions, advisory fees and withdrawals. Except
as described below, the rate of return figures
have been calculated in accordance with Rule 4.35
- CFTC Regulations, i.e., the rate of return is
based on the difference between the Beginning
Net Asset Value (BNAV) at the beginning of the
month (or year, as the case may be) and the Ending
Net Asset Value (ENAV) on the last day of that
month (or year). The ENAV for the period, represents
the BNAV plus or minus additions, withdrawals,
redemption and net performance.
Important Foot Notes:
-
Since these are hypothetical
results we have calculated the ENAV on closed
positions for the period due to which certain
months show a dash (-) in the above table
which reflect an open position being carried
or no position taken whatsoever during the
month, as the case maybe. The above results
have not accounted for any brokerage, commissions
or advisory fees.
-
The hypothetical results
(based on 100k account size) are computed
from actual trade recommendations made by
us in certain non co-related assets like currencies
(Spot Fx min 100k lot size), E-mini indices
(Single futures contract) and precious metal
futures (Single futures contract) without
the use of any leverage whatsoever.
-
The above table which is
based upon actual trade recommendations made
by us, give the investor a guideline of what
is achievable in relation to capital invested,
leverage used.
-
The Hypothetical Results
mentioned in this document are the outcome
of the trade recommendations which have been
duly audited by an independent Chartered Accountants
firm with respect to the date and time on
which they were made, as a copy of the same
was simultaneously e-mailed to the firm for
record purposes.
-
Annual Rate of Return: Represents
the cumulative compounded rate of return for
each year or portion thereof. It assumes a
continuous investment and is computed by applying
successively the respective Monthly Rate of
Return for each month beginning with the first
month presented in each period and represents
the net percentage change since the beginning
of the period presented.
-
Sharpe Ratio: The Sharpe
ratio which was created by Prof. William Sharpe
is a measure of the risk adjusted return of
an investement and is a widely used measure
of trading performance. The ratio is constructed
of trading returns divided by the standard
deviation (a measure of risk) of returns.
As per industry consensus, a sharp ratio >
1 is considered good, > 2 is considered
very good and a ratio > 3 is outstanding.
-
Largest monthly Drawdown:
Represents the largest loss experienced by
the Advisor in any calendar month expressed
as a percentage of beginning net asset value.
-
Worst Peak-to-Valley Monthly
Drawdown: Represents the greatest cumulative
percentage decline in month-end net asset
value due to losses sustained by the account
during any period in which the initial month-end
net asset value is not equaled or exceeded
by a subsequent month-end net asset value.
