The goal of Financial Commodity
Investments ("FCI") is to achieve
appreciation with the use of
alternative investment strategies.
Financial Commodity Investments
will attempt to obtain consistent
quarterly returns that exceed
those of the equity market and
to protect capital against adverse
market trends.
The Option Selling Strategy
(OSS) Program engages in the
selling or “writing” options
(puts and calls) on futures
contracts in the natural gas,
crude oil, coffee, soybeans,
corn and financial currency
markets (among others), and
in the off-exchange financial
currency (forex) market.
With respect to forex trading,
FCI limits its trading to the
major currency pair. Furthermore,
Financial Commodity Investments
may engage in exchange for futures
trading, a transaction whereby
an off-exchange contract is
novated and exchanged for an
on-exchange one.
In the future, the Option Selling
Strategy may trade a broader
portfolio of options, futures
and cash markets. In so
doing, Financial Commodity Investments
reserves the right to place
trades in any commodity futures
contract, forex contract or
option contracts thereon, on
any exchange or marketplace,
foreign or domestic, at Financial
Commodity Investments sole discretion.
Financial Commodity Investments
has extensive research and knowledge
in the area of selling far out-of-the-money
(“OTM”) options. Historically,
about 90% of the purchasers’
of options are net losers on
their purchased investment in
options. Many of the purchasers
of options are making this investment
merely as an insurance investment;
allowing them to hedge their
underlying commodity from a
substantial decrease in value.
This is done as insurance to
protect against a substantial
increase or decrease of their
underlying investment. Other
purchasers of options of commodities
are speculators. These speculators
are playing calculated odds,
assuming that an event may occur,
causing a substantial shift
in the value of an underlying
commodity.
Financial Commodity Investments
uses an approach to trading
that relies heavily on selling
or “writing” options on futures
contracts. Financial Commodity
Investments may also, from time
to time, purchase options and
may employ the use of hedge
strategies such as option spreads,
strangles, straddles, or may
purchase or sell futures to
offset an open option position.
The implementation of this trade
program depends on both technical
and fundamental considerations.
Technical analysis involves
the study of charted prices,
volumes, momentum, strengths,
and moving averages to determine
the future course of prices.
Technical indicators also include
the prices of various options,
both in absolute terms in relation
to their historic price level,
and in relative terms comparing
the prices of puts to the prices
of similar calls. Fundamental
considerations include the condition
of the market, the trend and
volatility of the markets, supply
and demand, as well as business
and economic factors, governmental
policies, weather, and other
worldwide events, which can
influence the markets.
Financial Commodity Investments
utilizes a market neutral trading
strategy that does not attempt
to forecast market direction.
Financial Commodity Investments
sells options on futures or
forex contracts on the side
of a commodity to which it has
strong underlying research,
knowledge and belief as to where
the commodity is not going.
Either out-of-the-money call
or put options are written,
followed by appropriate adjustments
based on movement of the underlying
contract. Profits are
derived when the price of the
options that have been written
(sold) declines such that the
options can be purchased for
amounts less than the price
at which those options were
initially sold. Profits
also are realized when options
expire worthless, providing
full profit on the option premium
sold (after commissions and
other fees). Financial
Commodity Investments primary
trading philosophy is for profits
to be made when the value of
options is reduced as a function
of time, rather than a function
of market direction. From
time to time, a directional
future or forex position will
be either bought or sold again,
depending on the underlying
research, market conditions,
and knowledge of anticipated
direction of a commodity.
The profitability of a trading
program consisting of selling
options on a futures contract
depends upon the subsequent
price movement of the underlying
contract. For example if Financial
Commodity Investments writes
puts on an index, and the puts
are not bought in before their
expiration, the strategy will
be profitable if the index is
above the strike price of the
put when the put expires. If
the price of the underlying
contract is below the strike
price of the put when the put
expires, the strategy may potentially
produce a loss.
Conversely, if Financial Commodity
Investments writes calls on
a futures contract, and the
calls are not bought in before
their expiration, the strategy
will be profitable if the underlying
contract is below the strike
price of the call when the call
expires. If the price of the
underlying contract is above
the strike price of the call
when the call expires, the strategy
may potentially produce an unlimited
loss.
It is the intention of Financial
Commodity Investments to write
options that are at least 10%
to 20% out of the money from
the price of the underlying
futures contract.
“Out-of-the-money” puts have
strike prices below the current
price of the underlying futures
contract, and “out-of-the- money”
calls have strike prices above
the current price.
The price of the underlying
futures contract determines
whether the option expires without
being exercised (which is what
Financial Commodity Investments
anticipates will happen) or
whether the option is exercised
because it is “in-the-money.”
Prices on futures contracts
are volatile. Price movements
of these contracts are influenced
by a wide variety of complex
and hard to predict factors,
such as: government trade, fiscal,
monetary and exchange control
programs and policies; national
and international political
and economic events; changes
in interest rates; and prevailing
psychological characteristics
of the marketplace. The
profitability of Financial Commodity
Investments' options program
may depend on anticipating trends
in the volatile price movements
of futures contracts.
Financial Commodity Investments
has developed a proprietary
strategy for finding, measuring,
monitoring, investing, and recognizing
the commendable returns for
option selling. Real time pricing
information is used and is compared
to the additional numerous amounts
of financial data available.
Information used to influence
the investing decisions includes:
::
The historical pricing patters
of the underlying assets and
/ or indices
::
The historical and current implied
volatility and is compared to
the commodity’s historical and
current volatility
::
The commodity’s price movement
::
Current press release and financial
forecasted data of a commodity
::
The liquidity of an underlying
asset and its related option
An investment of option selling
is done with the strategy of
selling options that are targeted
to expire within one to six
months of expiration.
The current price of the underlying
commodity, the volatility of
the commodity, and the amount
of time left until expiration,
all are factored in determining
the calculated percent of probability
for Financial Commodity Investment's
investment strategy to be profitable.
The entire investment portfolio
is further monitored, by consistently
calculating the expected returns,
using discounted probabilities
of options expiring out of the
money and the estimated monthly
premiums received on an annual
basis. The portfolio is monitored
and adjusted so that maximum
annualized returns are achieved
with minimal additional risk.
The portfolio is further adjusted
based on the financial markets.
By collecting premiums from
the selling of far out of the
money options, commendable annualized
returns can be achieved.
And it is this strategy that
allows investors to attain commendable
returns, in an environment,
that is not dependent on whether
the financial markets are in
an increasing, decreasing, and/or
stagnant mode.
Financial Commodity Investments
plans on utilizing extensive
research material to find and
identify specific commodities
and the underlying option contracts
appropriate for these strategies.
Financial Commodity Investment's
investment managers are also
experienced and versed in the
measurement of the risk and
returns associated with these
alternative investment strategies.
The amount of an account's net
assets committed to margin and
option premiums will vary as
a result of market volatility,
among other reasons. On
average, 20% to 40% of net assets
of an account will be committed
to margin and option premiums,
although, due to market conditions,
the amount committed may be
substantially higher at various
times. In addition, if
an exchange or the client's
Futures Commission Merchant,
"FCM", increases margin requirements
(because of market volatility
or otherwise), the percentage
of net assets committed to margin
and option premiums may increase
to levels beyond the stated
averages.
There can be no assurance that
the investment objectives of
Financial Commodity Investments
will be achieved. Past
results are not necessarily
indicative of future results.
The risk of loss in trading
futures, options and off-exchange
forex can be substantial.

Program Description:
Credit Premium Program
(CPP) |
The Credit Premium Program (CPP)
engages in selling or "writing"
options (puts and calls) on
futures contracts in the natural
gas, crude oil, coffee, soybeans,
corn and financial currency
markets (among others), and
in the off-exchange foreign
currency (forex) market.
With respect to forex trading,
Financial Commodity Investments
limits its trading to the major
currency pairs. Furthermore,
Financial Commodity Investments
may engage in exchange for futures
trading, a transaction whereby
an off-exchange contract is
novated and exchanged for an
on-exchange one.
In the futures, the Credit Premium
Program may trade a broader
portfolio of options, futures
and cash markets. In so
doing, FCI reserves the right
to place trades in any commodity
futures contract, forex contract,
or option contracts thereon,
on any exchange or marketplace,
foreign or domestic, at Financial
Commodity Investments sole discretion.
Similar to the Option Selling
Strategy program, the primary
trading strategy of the Credit
Premium Program will be to sell,
on behalf of the client, options
on futures contracts.
However, the Credit Premium
Program is different from the
Option Selling Strategy program
because it may sell options
that are likely to be closer
to the expiration date, ranging
from four (4) days to ninety
(90) days from expiration, [versus
thirty (30) to forty-five (45)
days from expiration for the
Option Selling Strategy program],
and closer to being "in the
money". The program utilizes
more of a vertical credit and
calendar spread strategy, thus
reducing per trade capital requirements.
when premium collection transactions
become unprofitable contracts,
offsetting futures contracts
or options are purchased as
a hedge to limit further future
contract losses. The net
effect is the Credit Premium
Program targets higher returns
with additional contracts being
executed. There is an
increased likelihood of the
strike price being met on options
versus the portfolio of options
written in the Option Selling
Strategy Program. Furthermore,
the Credit Premium Program is
more progressive with its rolling
forward, exiting out of option
contracts, and with the rolling
further out as a hedge to limit
contract losses. The Credit
Premium Program will also utilize
directional futures trades from
time to time. This will
occur when underlying futures
appear to be over extended in
either an over- or under-valued
status in relation to historical
values of an underlying commodity.
Finally, the Credit Premium
Program will utilize larger
margin account balances with
capital requirements targeted
at a range of 40% to 60% of
the total account balance.
The amount of an account's net
assets committed to margin and
option premiums will vary as
a result of the market volatility,
among other reasons. On
average, forty percent (40%)
to sixty percent (60%) of net
assets of an account will be
committed to margin and option
premiums, although, due to market
conditions, the amount committed
may be substantially higher
at various times. In addition,
if an exchange or the client's
Futures Commission Merchant
increases margin requirements
(because of market volatility
or otherwise), the percentage
of net assets committed to margin
and option premiums may increase
to levels beyond the stated
averages.
There can be no assurance that
the investment objectives of
Financial Commodity Investments
will be achieved. Past
results are not necessarily
indicative of future results.
The risk of loss in trading
futures, options and off-exchange
forex can be substantial.

Introduction: FX Premium
Program (FXPP) |
The primary trading strategy
of the Financial Commodity Investments
FXPP (and with “FXPP” an acronym
for “FX Premium Program”) is
to sell, on behalf of a client,
options on commodity contracts
offered in the currency derivatives
markets – primarily in the off
exchange foreign currency (forex)
market although trading may
occur in the exchange traded
market. An option on a commodity
contract gives the purchaser
of the option the right but
not the obligation to take a
position at a specified price
(the “striking,” “strike” or
“exercise” price) in the underlying
commodity contract. The purchase
price of an option is referred
to as its “premium” and is paid
to the seller of the option.
As the seller (or writer) of
an option, the clients of Financial
Commodity Investments will earn
the premiums paid by the option
buyers.
If the option expires without
being exercised (which is what
Financial Commodity Investments
anticipates will happen), the
client (as the option writer)
retains the full amount of the
premium. It should be emphasized,
however, that the seller of
an option has unlimited risk
if the market moves against
its positions. In order for
Financial Commodity Investments
FX Premium Program to be profitable,
FCI must properly manage this
risk.
Clients should not open a managed
account with Financial Commodity
Investments unless they are
familiar with options on commodities
and have sufficient knowledge
and experience in financial
and business matters to render
them capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the prospective
investment.
The minimum account size is
fifty thousand dollars ($50,000),
provided that Financial Commodity
Investments may, in its discretion,
waive the minimum account size.
Clients should view an account
as a long-term investment with
the objective of seeking capital
appreciation over time. At inception,
an account in FCI - FXPP will
encounter a startup period during
which it may incur certain risks
related to the initial investment
of assets. In an effort to manage
such risk, Financial Commodity
Investments has developed procedures
governing the appropriate timing
for the commencement of trading
and the appropriate means of
moving toward full portfolio
commitment for a new account.
Due to general market conditions,
an account may experience short-term
unrealized losses while moving
toward a “full portfolio commitment.”
(Financial Commodity Investments
will identify and make an initial
investment when a market opportunity
presents itself, and will make
follow-on investments as further
opportunities are presented
- once an account has reduced
its initial cash balance and
invested pari passu –occurring
at the same time− with a model
account or is situated similar
to a majority of the accounts
in FCI - FXPP it is deemed to
be at a “full portfolio commitment.”)
The following description of
Financial Commodity Investments
and its trading methods and
strategies is general and is
not intended to be exhaustive.
Commodity trading methods are
proprietary and complex, so
only the most general descriptions
are possible; no attempt has
been or could be made to provide
a precise description of FCI’s
strategy. While Financial Commodity
Investments believes that the
description of FCI’s methods
and strategies included herein
may be of interest to prospective
clients, such persons must be
aware of the inherent limitations
of such description.
The FXPP is the same strategy
employed by FCI for its existing
Credit Premium Program (“CPP”)
but is employing the program
in the currency sector only.
FXPP as a standalone program
has no prior performance history.

Program Description:
FX Premium Program (FXPP) |
The goal of Financial Commodity
Investments is to achieve appreciation
with the use of alternative
investment strategies. Financial
Commodity Investments attempts
to obtain consistent quarterly
returns that exceed those of
the equity market and to protect
capital against adverse market
trends. FCI - FXPP engages in
the selling or “writing” options
(puts and calls) on futures
contracts in the financial currency
markets, and in the off exchange
foreign currency (forex) market.
With respect to forex trading,
Financial Commodity Investments
limits its trading to the major
currency pairs. Furthermore,
Financial Commodity Investments
may engage in exchange for futures
trading, a transaction whereby
an off-exchange contract is
novated and exchanged for an
on-exchange one. In the future,
FCI - FXPP may trade in the
forward markets.
Similar to Financial Commodity
Investment’s Credit Premium
Program (“CPP”), the primary
trading strategy of FCI - FXPP
is to sell, on behalf of a client,
options on commodity contracts
that are ranging from four (4)
days to ninety (90) days from
expiration. The program also
utilizes a vertical credit and
calendar spread strategy, thus
reducing per trade capital requirements.
When premium collection transactions
become unprofitable contracts,
offsetting commodity contracts
or options are purchased as
a hedge to limit further commodity
contract losses. The net effect
is that FCI - FXPP targets higher
returns with additional contracts
being executed. FCI - FXPP also
utilizes directional trades
from time to time. This occurs
when underlying futures appear
to be over extended in either
an over or under valued status
in relation to historical values
of an underlying commodity.
The FCI - FXPP program utilizes
larger margin account balances
with capital requirements targeted
at a range of forty percent
(40%) to sixty percent (60%)
of the total account balance.
Financial Commodity Investments
has extensive research and knowledge
in the area of selling far out-of-the-money
(“OTM”) options. Historically,
about ninety percent (90%) of
the purchasers of options are
net losers on their purchased
investment in options. Many
of the purchasers of options
are making this investment merely
as an insurance investment;
allowing them to hedge their
underlying commodity from a
substantial decrease in value.
This is done as insurance to
protect against a substantial
increase or decrease of their
underlying investment. Other
purchasers of options of commodities
are speculators. These speculators
are playing calculated odds,
assuming that an event may occur,
causing a substantial shift
in the value of an underlying
commodity.
Financial Commodity Investments
uses an approach to trading
that relies heavily on selling
or “writing” options on commodity
contracts. Financial Commodity
Investments may also, from time
to time, purchase options and
may employ the use of hedge
strategies such as option spreads,
strangles, straddles, or may
purchase or sell futures and/or
forex contracts to offset an
open option position.
The implementation of this trade
program depends on both technical
and fundamental considerations.
Technical analysis involves
the study of charted prices,
volumes, momentum, strengths,
and moving averages to determine
the future course of prices.
Technical indicators also include
the prices of various options,
both in absolute terms in relation
to their historic price level,
and in relative terms comparing
the prices of puts to the prices
of similar calls. Fundamental
considerations include the condition
of the market, the trend and
volatility of the markets, supply
and demand, as well as business
and economic factors, governmental
policies, weather, and other
worldwide events, which can
influence the markets.
Financial Commodity Investments
utilizes a relative value trading
strategy and does not specifically
attempt to forecast market direction.
Financial Commodity Investments
sells options on futures or
forex contracts on the side
of a commodity to which it has
strong underlying research,
knowledge, and belief as to
where the commodity is not going.
Either OTM call or put options
are written, followed by appropriate
adjustments based on movement
of the underlying futures contract.
Profits are derived when the
price of the options that have
been written (sold) declines
such that the options can be
purchased for amounts less than
the price at which those options
were initially sold. Profits
also are realized when options
expire worthless, providing
full profit on the option premium
sold (after commission and other
fees). Financial Commodity Investment’s
primary trading philosophy is
for profits to be made when
the value of options is reduced
as a function of time, rather
than a function of market direction.
From time to time, a directional
future or forex position will
be either bought or sold again,
depending on the underlying
research, market conditions,
and knowledge of anticipated
direction of a commodity.
The profitability of a trading
program consisting of selling
options depends upon the subsequent
price movement of the underlying
commodity contract. For example
if Financial Commodity Investments
writes puts on an index, and
the puts are not bought in before
their expiration, the strategy
will be profitable if the index
is above the strike price of
the put when the put expires.
If the price of the underlying
contract is below the strike
price of the put when the put
expires, the strategy may potentially
produce a loss.
Conversely, if Financial Commodity
Investments writes calls on
a currency contract, and the
calls are not bought in before
their expiration, the strategy
will be profitable if the underlying
contract is below the strike
price of the call when the call
expires. If the price of the
underlying contract is above
the strike price of the call
when the call expires, the strategy
may potentially produce an unlimited
loss.
It is the intention of FCI -
FXPP to write options that are
closer to the strike price of
the currency. It is estimated
that these options are approximately
ten percent (10%) to fifteen
percent (15%) out of the money
from the price of the underlying
futures contract. “Out-of-the-money”
puts have strike prices below
the current price of the underlying
futures contract, and “out-of-the-
money” calls have strike prices
above the current price.
Writing options that are closer
to the strike price, have a
noticeably improved reduction
in the bid/ask spread on these
options. There is also much
more liquidity on the closer
options. This will improve with
Financial Commodity Investment’s
overall execution of writing
options with favorable annual
yields. Should the program need
to exit these options, again
with an improved bid/ask spread,
losses will be minimized with
the improved liquidity.
The price of the underlying
commodity contract determines
whether the option expires without
being exercised (which is what
Financial Commodity Investments
anticipates will happen) or
whether the option is exercised
because it is “in-the-money.”
Prices on commodity contracts
are volatile. Price movements
of these contracts are influenced
by a wide variety of complex
and hard to predict factors,
such as: government trade, fiscal,
monetary and exchange control
programs and policies; national
and international political
and economic events; changes
in interest rates; and prevailing
psychological characteristics
of the marketplace. The profitability
of Financial Commodity Investment’s
options program may depend on
anticipating trends in the volatile
price movements of futures contracts.
Financial Commodity Investments
has developed a proprietary
strategy for finding, measuring,
monitoring, investing, and recognizing
the commendable returns for
option selling. Real time pricing
information is used and is compared
to the additional numerous amounts
of financial data available.
Information used to influence
the investing decisions includes:
::
The historical pricing patters
of the underlying assets and
/ or indices
::
The historical and current implied
volatility and is compared to
the currency’s historical and
current volatility
::
The currency’s price movement
::
Current press release and financial
forecasted data of the currency
::
The liquidity of an underlying
asset and its related option
An investment of option selling
is done with the strategy of
selling options that are targeted
to expire within one (1) to
three (3) months of expiration.
The current price of the underlying
currency, the volatility of
the currency, and the amount
of time left until expiration,
all are factored in determining
the calculated percent of probability
for Financial Commodity Investment’s
investment strategy to be profitable.
The entire investment portfolio
is further monitored, by consistently
calculating the expected returns,
using discounted probabilities
of options expiring out of the
money and the estimated monthly
premiums received on an annual
basis. The portfolio is monitored
and adjusted so that maximum
annualized returns are achieved
with minimal additional risk.
The portfolio is further adjusted

By collecting premiums from

returns can be achieved. And
it is this strategy that allows
investors to attain commendable
returns, in an environment,
that is not dependent on whether
the financial markets are in
an increasing, decreasing, and/or
stagnant mode.
Financial Commodity Investments
utilizes extensive research
material to find and identify
specific currencies and the
underlying option contracts
appropriate for these strategies.
Financial Commodity Investment’s
investment manager, Craig B.
Kendall, is also experienced
and versed in the measurement
of the risks and returns associated
with these alternative investment
strategies.
The amount of an account’s net
assets committed to margin and
option premiums will vary as
a result of market volatility,
among other reasons. On average,
forty percent (40%) to sixty
percent (60%) of net assets
of an account will be committed
to margin and option premiums,
although, due to market conditions,
the amount committed may be
substantially higher at various
times. In addition, if an exchange
or the client’s futures commission
mercahnt increases margin requirements
(because of market volatility
or otherwise), the percentage
of net assets committed to margin
and option premiums may increase
to levels beyond the stated
averages.
There can be no assurance that
the investment objectives of
Financial Commodity Investments
will be achieved. Past
results are not necessarily
indicative of future results.
The risk of loss in trading
futures, options and off-exchange
forex can be substantial.
Financial Commodity Investment's
projects a trading range for
a commodity contract over a
specified period of time, usually
one to six months. After
considering other factors, Financial
Commodity Investments sells
put and/or call options on the
outer limits of that trading
range. If the contract
price stays within the projected
range, time will erode the value
of the option to the purchaser,
the option will be worthless
at expiration, and the premium
that the client collected upfront,
net of brokerage fees, will
be profit. If the contract
price starts to get close to
a strike price and threatens
to breach one of the projected
limits, Financial Commodity
Investments needs to manage
this risk.
It should be emphasized that,
unlike an option buyer who risks
losing only his investment in
the premium, the seller of an
option has unlimited risk.
Financial Commodity Investments
must carefully manage this risk.
If it does not manage this risk,
a client could have substantial
losses. In addition, there
may be market conditions that
make it impossible to properly
manage this risk. Thus,
Financial Commodity Investment's
options selling program is designed
for sophisticated investors
who can accept a high degree
of risk.
Due to the risks involved in
selling options, significant
emphasis is placed on risk management
techniques to minimize the losses
on any particular trade on the
portfolio as a whole. Stop-losses
orders are used and managed
in a proprietary manner to balance
the potential loss in any trade
versus the opportunity for maximum
profit. Stop-loss orders may
not necessarily limit losses
since they become market orders
upon execution; as a result
a stop-loss order may not be
executed at the stop-loss price.
Depending on the model used,
risk may be managed through
variable position size or risk
levels for any market. Additionally,
modern portfolio techniques
are used to construct the overall
portfolio for a given program.
These techniques will account
for the volatility and correlation
for markets as well as behavior
during specific market extremes.
Portfolio adjustments will be
made to account for systematic
changes in the relationships
across markets. Portfolios are
managed to meet risk and volatility
tolerances.
