Reduce Volatility

The primary benefit of adding a non-correlating managed futures component, like RAM, to a
diversified portfolio is that it should reduce overall portfolio volatility. RAM’s low-correlation to
equities and bonds can be attributed to:
• RAM’s ability to exploit global conditions that frequently are detrimental to stocks and bonds,
• RAM’s likelihood to having a short or long position in any market,
• RAM’s portfolio including markets absent from traditional portfolios.
