JANUARY2017

The Tulloss Diversified Strategy ("TDS") is a systematic pattern recognition model derived from the price behavior of futures markets as opposed to mathematical
modeling concepts. The strategy is a technical system by nature, though the central components and continued development reflect how the overall fundamental
nature of markets and market sectors influence price action. In addition to the strategys core pattern recognition methodology, integral components include
elements of volatility measurements, momentum, support and resistance and timeprice analysis. The portfolio consists of a truly diversified set of global markets
chosen based upon their respective correlations to each other. Further differentiating the strategy from other CTAs and contributing to the low correlation with
other strategies is a targeted 65% allocation to raw agricultural and industrial commodities with the remaining 35% allocated to global interest rates, stock indices
andcurrencies.

PERFORMANCECOMMENTARY
January was a challenging month for TDS. Performance in domestic and foreign equity indices was a wash as mixed domestic economic data and uncertainty regarding
policies of the Trump administration offset gains in both German and Japanese indices. Losses over the month were spread out across several markets due to unfavorable
market conditions. Soybean prices surged due to floods in Argentina damaging crops, only to retrace from improved weather conditions. The hog market rose on tighter
supplies over the month, though the following consolidation caught the system on the wrong side of the market. Natural gas prices drastically reversed from a significant rise
late last year, opening well below the end of Decembers close and plummeting the first day of the month. Warmer weather predictions shocked the market and were
followed by nondirectional volatility and false signals. The soft markets contributed the bulk of the profits for the month. Coffee prices reversed off recent lows due to crop
concerns out of Brazil while sugar prices rose after a cut in production out of India. The system suffered losses as gold prices climbed due to a falling dollar and uncertainty
regardingtheFedsnextmove.However,theseweremorethanoffsetbyastrongautomarketboostingplatinumprices.
