benchmark index that measures the investment returns of a dynamic ratio of large-capitalization stocks
and the volatility of large-capitalization stocks.
Short Volatility Strategy

Volatility Index (the “VIX Index”) futures, while mitigating the effect of sudden price appreciation in VIX
Index futures. Employing a proprietary investment model ABR invests the strategy’s assets primarily in
securities and derivative instruments that, to varying degrees, provide short exposure to VIX Index
futures and exchange traded products (“ETPs”), long exposure to long-term U.S. Treasury securities, and
cash.

VIX Index ETPs, while mitigating the effect of sudden price appreciation in VIX Index futures and VIX
Index ETPs. Employing a proprietary investment model,
