DITMo® is a Deep-In-The-Money Buy-Write Model Index that is reflective of a risk averse version of a covered call strategy. The methodology for

calculation is meant to capture changing sensitivity to the underlying long equity value and is calculated as follows:

DITMo MODEL METHODOLOGY:

This attribution is drawn solely from the sample model portfolio. Return attributions reflected here involved stress-testing the sample portfolio using Algorithms, then using those results in the formulationof a return series based solely on the results of SP500 performance to capture up and down participation that differs within various return ranges typical of a covered call strategy payoff. The portfolioincludes 70 to 100 SP500 equity “Buy/Writes” typically written at a strike price below the market price of the underlying equity with intention to have the underlying equity called away thereby creating acash flow composed of exercised options, option premium, dividends and interest. There is no guarantee that the portfolio will exhibit similar attributes to this model or that the portfolio holdings will be

similar to the portfolio holdings reflected here. This is intended for one-on-one discussion purposes only. The model was constructed using equity ask price and short call bid price that would represent theminimal acceptable trade net of execution and management fees.

The strategy is both a bottom-up and top-down approach contrived to target less than a one-third market beta (market risk) and an after-fee 8-10% return that are solely dependent on market performance. Risks of strategy underperformance includes, but is not limited to a scenario of SP500 excessive performance within a month t hat will result in a muted upside capture of that performance. Similarly,downside excessive loss of the SP500 in a given month is muted only within limited bounds cushioning only a moderate drawdown of the market in any given month. The strategy should be considered bythose willing to tradeoff upside participation for a limited amount of loss mitigation in any given month.

The model return series and resulting attributes were constructed according to the following methodology (per month):

SPX DITMo(Y)=<-10% +3.26% + .69(SPX)

-5% to – 10% -.62% + .11(SPX)

-5% to 5% +.68% + .25(SPX)

=>5% +1.67% + .02(SPX)

Summary

For the October 2011 Issue, I added the “Universe Batting Average” a new metric. The number represents the “Batting Average” of the strategy over the 4 time periods indicated (10,5,3,1 Years),

but instead of a yes/no attribution vis-a-vis to a single index or benchmark (aka, “Batting Average),” the “UBA” is a numerical term for how often the strategy beats the other strategies in the uni-

verse. The Charts above reflect the “UBA” for the 18 strategies listed. Blue = 10 Yrs; Brown = 5 Yrs; Green = 3 Yrs; Purple = YTD (ending August 2011). The highest ranked strategies for their respec-

tive time periods are highlighted. I believe the “UBA” is a unique measure that is more useful than a quartile number and the universe may be customized. As a summary measurement, the “UBA”

may be useful to Private Wealth Managers, Private Bankers, CIOs, C onsultants, and Institutions in devising their Hedge Fund Strategy.

The 3rd 2011 calendar quarter was a bust for hedge funds overall. Notably, we see an increasingly poor ranking for FoHF. Sold as risk diversifiers with low correlations, the danger of the asset class

is in viewing “CORRELATION” as a risk metric, it is not. “There is no intrinsic asset class correlation” (Ray Dalio, Highbridge Capital in a recent Bloomberg Interview). Those who have used FoHF for

portable alpha or for low correlation are viewing risk inappropriately. Generally, Private Wealth professionals choose portfolios with a lower Beta to be added to a present portfolio for diversifica-

tion and to improve risk-return metrics. Portfolio strategies with the lowest correlation have the most sensitivity to increasing Beta, as the Beta measure is the Correlation measure multiplied by

the ratio of standard deviations of the portfolio being considered to the market. Additionally, Correlation is a measure that defines the FACTOR or FACTORS of risk. One should use significance tests

for both Correlation and Beta, otherwise it is meaningless to use either in evaluation. It may be more desirable for a high correlation, low beta strategy than a low correlation, low beta strategy

simply due to the fact that t he low correlation strategy has a higher gamma (sensitivity).

One should consider the basic nature of the strategy. Certain metrics are more conducive to particular strategies. For instance, Market Neutral strategies (more properly, Quantitative Measures of

Risk), the risk of no return is more highly considered than massive drawdowns. Higher moments analysis is different for Arbitrage than for L/S or Emerging Markets. One may perceive that Emerg-

ing Markets has a great sensitivity to IMF and the EC where there is considerably a higher probability today of dislocation—that is hidden from return data. Going forward, one may perceive that

the outperformance of Distressed and High Yield in the past does not consider the HY Funds presently raising cash protectively.

“UBA” Methodology: The universe are the 18 strategies listed above. The methodology is simple: Create a universe of assets, count the number in that universe, deduct one and use that for the denominator. The numerator is how many strategies

were beaten (for 18 strategies, the top strategy for the time period would receive a 17/17 ranking score with a computed Universe Batting Average of 1000). For multiple periods use the average of the ranking score.
