Dear Investor:

Optimus Trading Group is pleased to introduce the Stock Index Premium Collection Strategy Program. This alternative investment program is managed by Yu-Dee Chang through his registered Commodity Trading Advisor; ACE Investment Strategies, LLC. We find this to be the best managed program we are currently recommending in terms of performance and money management. You be the judge! Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Methodology

ACE's strategy writes call and put options on the S&P 500 index futures. The strategy balances option positions, where price changes and volatility are constantly changing, and exploits the time decay aspect of option premiums. There are twelve cycles per year, ending on options expiration each month. Profitable outcomes can occur whether the S&P is up, down, or sideways as long as its price stays within a predetermined range. It works best when the market is somewhat, but not excessively volatile. The risk of loss in options writings programs is unlimited.

Performance

A COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF FEES AND CHARGES ARE REPORTED IN THE CTA’s DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT.  SPECIFICALLY, ONE SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT AN INTRODUCING BROKER MAY CHARGE A FRONT-END START UP FEE OF UP TO 6% OF THE INITIAL CONTRIBUTION.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CHARGE IS NOT REFLECTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR AND COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE CUSTOMERS ABILITY TO ACHIEVE SIMILAR RETURNS.

Overview of Ace’s Performance

Out of the 59 months Ace has been trading, 51 months have been profitable. During the past 3 years, (August 2003-August 2006) Ace’s worst drawdown was 2% (May 2006) with the worst drawdown ever in its performance record only 7.78% (June-July 2003).

Ace’s net returns for its flagship SIPCP, since inception in 2001 through August 2006, are respectively: +102%, +71%, +67%, +32%, +13%, +7%.  Most importantly, these performance numbers were attained while experiencing less volatility than most blue chip stocks!

Ace’s Performance Goal

Unlike many CTA’s whose main goal is to make as much money as quickly as possible, sacrificing prudent money management in the process, Ace’s goal is to earn the most amount of money with the least amount of comparative risk, while outperforming the DJIA.  Ace believes if you practice prudent money management good returns will eventually follow. Ace is achieving their goal, evidenced in every year since the inception of its SIPC program by soundly beating the DJIA and with even less volatility!  Please be advised that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.  The possibility of unlimited loss exists in writing options.

Account Types

ACE's managed accounts are approved for individual/joint, corporate, partnerships, trust, IRA and other retirement type accounts.
