FCM Hedging Programs
FCM's hedging programs employ only fully-hedged trading to remove risk and "lock-in" price action. No arbitrage or speculative trade will be permitted in identified hedge accounts.

FCM Arbitrage Programs
FCM's arbitrage programs also identified by a separate account series will only engage in arbitraging the cash and cash options markets in currency and government obligations. "Arbitraging" involves the taking of offsetting long or short positions (in same or different but interrelated markets). FCM will attempt to capture pricing anomalies which develop between instruments which should in a perfect market, be substantially identical in price by the simultaneous purchase and offsetting sale of such instruments. Although one would think currencies and government obligations would be, in general, fungible, minor price differentials can develop between closely comparable instruments due to transient factors and quirks of supply and demand. It is these differentials which FCM will attempt to exploit.

FCM "Cross Rate" Programs
FCM "Cross Rate" Programs will typically trade up to 20 currencies, concentrating exclusively on foreign exchange, primarily through forward contracts. The programs will trade the Swiss, Euro, British, Canadian and Japanese currencies as well as a diversity of the other currencies. The programs have been structured and the different markets weighted, to take into account the potentially higher volatility of a portfolio which trade exclusively in the currency markets. The FCM "cross rate" programs seek to eliminate much of the U.S. dollar movements by engaging in "cross rate" trades, for example, by buying the Swedish Kroner while simultaneously selling and equivalent amount of Australian Dollars. Profits and losses accrue as the relationship between the Swedish and Australian currencies change, irrespective of the U.S. Dollar movements. The programs calculate position size based on the risk in the currency market and the correlation of a particular currency with and against other currencies.

FCM Managed Speculative Accounts
FCM offers a wide range of trading account programs for both individual and institutional investors. These programs trade forward, spot and option contracts in a variety of currencies and government obligations, attempting to achieve substantial capital appreciation through profiting form frequent and often significant price fluctuations. The programs will take "outright" positions in which the U.S. dollar is bought or sold against other currencies. FCM in addition offers additional speculative trading programs in non-U.S. government obligations in which these programs will attempt to profit form rising or falling interest rates in the country of issue. The Company's programs trade and advisors monitor over 30 different currencies and government obligations and will trade exclusively in these markets.

The FCM principles believe that the risk inherent in a concentrated approach should be somewhat reduced by employing a multi-program and advisory strategy to its managed speculative accounts. By having a variety of programs and advisory strategies, the investors believe customer accounts may achieve reduced downside volatility while retaining substantial upside potential. The Company's managed account programs are directed by in-house analysts and several outside advisors who have been selected not only on performance but their given trading approaches differ but compliment one another.
