As of December 31, 2023, Graham offers investors various trading strategies that trade in global
currency, commodity and other financial markets. Graham utilizes both quantitative and
discretionary strategies. Graham’s quantitative trading strategies are generally based on
computerized mathematical models that use price-based or fundamental data, or a combination, as
the basis of trading decisions. The quantitative strategies pursue various trading approaches,
including trend-based programs that seek to identify trends, which allow Graham to participate
selectively in potential profit opportunities that can occur during periods of price trends in a diverse
number of U.S. and international markets and other quantitative investment strategies such as
macro (including fundamental and price-based indicators), beta (market) neutral, high-frequency
systems, counter-trend systems and non-trend systems. Currently, each quantitative program
generally trades global interest rate futures and swaps, global stock index futures, commodity
futures, foreign exchange instruments and direct investments in equity securities, equity futures,
swaps and other equity-linked derivatives that are diversified by market and geography and/or, in
the case of securities, by security type. Quantitative risk management and portfolio construction
techniques are employed with the goal of diversifying risk across the portfolio and enhancing risk-
adjusted returns.
Graham’s discretionary trading strategies include global macro and non-macro strategies and are
generally non-correlated with traditional and other alternative investments. The discretionary
strategies trade actively in both U.S. and foreign markets, primarily on major futures exchanges as
well as in inter-bank currency and swaps markets, equity exchanges and OTC markets.
Graham is generally granted broad investment authority with respect to the management of the
accounts of its clients, which include investment vehicles and managed futures separate accounts
intended for sophisticated institutional investors, including managed futures separate accounts for
investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“Investment Company Act”). Graham may make changes to the trading strategies or systems
employed in its trading programs at any time, in its sole discretion. Clients,
as well as investors in
the investment vehicles that Graham advises, will not be informed of these changes as they occur.
With respect to managed futures separate accounts, Graham can, to a certain extent, tailor such
accounts to the specific investment objectives of a client. Graham may agree in the investment
management agreement or similar document with each such separately managed account client to
investment restrictions or guidelines with respect to the types or amounts of financial instruments
that may be purchased or sold for the client’s account as well as volatility targets and other desired
characteristics.
Graham and its affiliates, Mr. Tropin and members of his immediate family (directly, or through
estate planning vehicles) and eligible employees of Graham and their affiliated entities invest in
certain funds and accounts that Graham manages. Graham and its principals and their related
parties may invest proprietary capital in investment programs different from those offered by any
specific fund and in addition invest proprietary capital to start new untested research strategies of
Graham, which are not available for investment by Graham clients or fund investors. Certain
qualified employees, including portfolio managers, also have exposure to Graham trading
strategies as a result of the indexing of portions of their compensation to the performance of such
trading strategies. Discretionary portfolio managers and quantitative traders may also be permitted
to gain synthetic exposure to the performance of their individual trading strategies through a
bilateral agreement between the portfolio manager or quantitative trader and Graham (or an
affiliate thereof). The aforementioned arrangements may function as a retention program for
participating portfolio managers and other qualified employees and can serve to better align the
interests of Graham’s principals and employees with those of Graham’s clients.
As of December 31, 2023, Graham provides discretionary investment advisory services to private
investment funds and managed futures accounts with aggregate net assets of $17,758,723,738.
Graham has been a registered commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor under the
Commodity Exchange Act and a member of the National Futures Association (the “NFA”) since
July 27, 1994. Graham has been registered as an investment adviser with the SEC since March
30, 2012. Graham serves as investment adviser to managed futures commodity pools sponsored
by Graham and managed futures separate accounts collectively representing $11,395,574,266 of
the $17,758,723,738 in net assets. This brochure generally does not address matters related to
Graham’s managed futures business, except as it relates to Graham’s role as sub-adviser to
registered investment companies. Graham may in the future provide advisory services, either on
a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, to other funds or managed accounts on behalf of clients.
Graham does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
