   Worldwide   Global Basic   Global Magnum   Orion   Millennium   MJC-Futures FX-plus  Jupiter  Omega

The Worldwide program currently trades 27 domestic & international commodity interests, 13 of which are either long or short interest rate contracts reflecting interest rates in the US, EMU, the UK and Australia. Also followed are several U.S. and Non-U.S. currencies, grains, softs, meats, metals and fuels. The number of models used in this program is currently 13. The time-frame focus is a blend of intermediate and long-term. It should be noted that there will be times when there is significant correlation between markets within a market sector or between market sectors, possibly in an adverse direction to positions held in the client’s account.  Clients of the Worldwide program should be aware that this factor alone, although there are others, will lead to periods of extreme volatility and possibly very large drawdowns in an investor's equity.

  The Global Basic program trades approximately 18 domestic and international commodity interests, utilizing five intermediate time-frame models. These five models have been selected for their ability as a group to provide a high return for the amount of exposure or time that a position is held. It should be noted that there will be times when there is significant correlation between markets within a market sector or between market sectors, possibly in an adverse direction to positions held in the client’s account.  Clients of the Global Basic program should be aware that this factor alone, although there are others, will lead to periods of extreme volatility and possibly very large drawdowns in an investor's equity. The Global Basic program will, at times, have a significantly higher margin to equity ratio than the Worldwide Program, and at other times will trade very lightly due to the selectivity of its models. During periods of higher margin to equity ratios, CCM attempts to counterbalance the inherent increased volatility one would expect with this higher ratio by using five models with relatively short focus. These models have stringent entry techniques when evaluating initial risk and quick acting initial exit techniques. By industry standards these models would probably be classified as intermediate rather than short-term. 

  The Global Magnum program trades approximately 19 domestic and international commodity interests utilizing variations of the five models used in the Global Basic Program plus six additional models with similar time frame, risk control and profit-taking characteristics to the Global Basic models. These eleven models have been selected for their ability as a group to provide a high return for the amount of exposure or time that a position is held. It should be noted that there will be times when there is significant correlation between markets within a market sector or between market sectors, possibly in an adverse direction to positions held in the client’s account.  Clients of the Global Magnum program should be aware that this factor alone, although there are others, will lead to periods of extreme volatility and possibly very large drawdowns in an investor's equity. The Global Magnum program will, at times, have a significantly higher margin to equity ratio than the Worldwide Program, and at other times will trade very lightly due to the selectivity of its models. During period of higher margin to equity ratios, CCM attempts to counterbalance the inherent increased volatility one would expect with this higher ratio by using eleven models with relatively short focus. These models have stringent entry techniques when evaluating initial risk and quick acting initial exit techniques. By industry standards these models would probably be classified as intermediate rather than short-term.

The Orion program currently trades 27 domestic & international commodity interests, 13 of which are either long or short interest rate contracts reflecting interest rates in the US, EMU, the UK and Australia. Also followed are several US and Non-U.S. currencies, grains, softs, meats, metals and fuels. The program uses seven models. Five of the models are intermediate time-frame focus with similar characteristics to those in the Global Basic and Global Magnum programs. The other two models are long-term models and are variations of two of the more successful models used elsewhere by CCM. It should be noted that there will be times when there is significant correlation between markets within a market sector or between market sectors, possibly in an adverse direction to positions held in the client’s account.  Clients of the Orion program should be aware that this factor alone, although there are others, will lead to periods of extreme volatility and possibly very large drawdowns in an investor's equity.

The Millennium program currently trades approximately 48 domestic and international commodity interests. 17 of these are either long or short interest rate contracts reflecting interest rates in Europe, the US, Canada, Japan and Australia. The balance of the commodity interests followed are currencies, grains, softs, metals, meats and fuels both foreign and domestic. The number of models used in this program is 27. Unlike many of the other programs of CCM, the Millennium Program uses several very long term models among the 27 in its portfolio. These very long term models generally produce larger profits per trade, but lower profits per day than shorter models. When used in a portfolio with shorter time frame models, as is the case here, the can produce smoother overall equity curves even though these models generally give much more room to a position before exiting. It should be noted that there will be times when there is significant correlation between markets within a market sector or between market sectors, possibly in an adverse direction to positions held in the client’s account.  Clients of the Millennium program should be aware that this factor alone, although there are others, will lead to periods of extreme volatility and possibly very large drawdowns in an investor's equity.

  The MJC Futures program as implemented in the MJC Aggressive Multi-Sector Fund L.P. and the CCM Performance Fund L.P. currently trade approximately 60 domestic and international commodity interests. 19 of these are either long or short interest rate contracts reflecting interest rates in Europe, the US, Canada, Japan and Australia. The balance of the commodity interests followed include currencies, grains, softs, metals, meats and fuels both foreign and domestic. The number of models used in this program is 27. Unlike many of the other programs of CCM, the MJC Futures Program uses several very long term models among the 27 in its portfolio. These very long term models generally produce larger profits per trade, but lower profits per day than shorter models. When used in a portfolio with shorter time frame models, as is the case here, the can produce smoother overall equity curves even though these models generally give much more room to a position before exiting. It should be noted that there will be times when there is significant correlation between markets within a market sector or between market sectors, possibly in an adverse direction to positions held in the client’s account.  Clients of the MJC Futures program should be aware that this factor alone, although there are others, will lead to periods of extreme volatility and possibly very large drawdowns in an investor's equity.

The FX-plus program currently trades 32 domestic & international commodity interests, 16 of which are either long or short interest rate contracts reflecting interest rates in the US, EMU, the UK, Japan and Australia. Also followed are the major currency markets, and eight equity index markets from Europe & Asia. The program uses 27 models, which are not used in any of the other programs of CCM. CCM reserves the right to use these models in any of its programs or pools that it manages or will manage in the future. Ten of the models are intermediate time-frame focus with similar characteristics to those in the Global Basic and Global Magnum programs. Ten are long-term and 7 are ultra-long term. It should be noted that the FXF-plus program is less diversified than most of CCM’s other programs as only Currency, Interest Rate and Equity Index products are followed. There will be times when there is significant correlation among these products possibly in an adverse direction to positions held in a client's account. Clients of the FXF-plus program should be aware that this factor alone, although there are others, will lead to periods of extreme volatility and possibly very large drawdowns in a client's equity.

The Jupiter program currently trades approximately 70 domestic and international commodity interests. 19 of these are either long or short interest rate contracts reflecting interest rates in Europe, the US, Canada, Japan and Australia. The balance of the commodity interests followed are currencies, grains, softs, metals, meats and fuels both foreign and domestic. The number of models used in this program is 69. Unlike many of the other programs of CCM, the Jupiter Program uses several very long term models among the 69 in its portfolio. These very long term models generally produce larger profits per trade, but lower profits per day than shorter models. When used in a portfolio with shorter time frame models, as is the case here, they can produce smoother overall equity curves even though these models generally give much more room to a position before exiting. It should be noted that there will be times when there is significant correlation between markets within a market sector or between market sectors, possibly in an adverse direction to positions held in the client’s account.  Clients of the Jupiter program should be aware that this factor alone, although there are others, will lead to periods of extreme volatility and possibly very large drawdowns in an investor's equity.

The Omega (and Alpha) programs trade approximately 40 domestic and international commodity interests utilizing 14 models with a medium-to-long time frame, risk control and profit-taking characteristics. These fourteen models have been selected for their ability as a group to provide a high return for the amount of exposure or time that a position is held. It should be noted that there will be times when there is significant correlation between markets within a market sector or between market sectors, possibly in an adverse direction to positions held in the client’s account.  Clients of the Alpha or Omega programs should be aware that this factor alone, although there are others, will lead to periods of extreme volatility and possibly very large drawdowns in an investor's equity. The Alpha and Omega programs will, at times, have a significantly higher margin to equity ratio than the Worldwide Program, and at other times will trade very lightly due to the selectivity of its models.
