Description The Partnership may make long or short individual or combined investments in futures contracts in precious metals, physical bullion and related exchange-traded funds (ETFs), options on futures contracts on precious metals or on precious metals indices, and in the equity securities, warrants and/or other offerings of companies engaged in one aspect or all aspects of exploration, production and processing of these metals. It also, from time to time, may use the aforementioned instruments as a means of hedging market or individual company risk. The Partnership may leverage its securities investments by a factor of up to 2:1 of the Partnerships assets, primarily through borrowings. With respect to the Partnerships futures positions, leverage in the Partnership may be as high as a factor of 3.5:1 and may exceed this level from time to time depending on market conditions. The proceeds of such borrowings are generally used as margin for the Partnerships futures trading and equity related investments. The decision to be directionally long, short or hedged and the decision to use leverage on the long side, or not, will rely on macro-economic, monetary, quantitative and technical analysis research performed by the General Partners principals. Individual equity based investments will be identified using both (i) systematic programs developed by the General Partner or its affiliate, AIS Futures Management LLC, that rely heavily on current and historical price data and (ii) relative price strength of individual companies compared to the general market and to other stocks within the precious metals universe as primary inputs as well as rigorous fundamental analysis of company specific information, which may include discussions with management and occasional onsite visits. , , Although the Partnership may use input from the AIS proprietary quantitative decision models, the General Partner will primarily exercise discretion in determining the Partnerships mix of investments, the extent to which the Partnership will hedge various exposures and the degree of leverage employed.
