conditions, the strategy employs intra-commodity spreads to yield additional low risk returns. The majority of Vulcan’s
trades are relative value future spreads, but it also utilizes some outrights, options-on-futures, NYMEX/LME arbitrage,
and, in our funds, sub-strategies involving physical delivery of warehouse receipts.

vulcan Risk Management• Risk is actively managed through strict risk budget
limits at portfolio and individual metals levels, withdrawdown limits set and enforced by Typhon’sIndependent Risk Committee.
• Virtually all positions are spreads which arehedged.
• Even though we trade futures with inherentleverage, we average only 5% margin-to-equityhistorically and thus are generally de-levered on anet notional basis.
• Vulcan’s PM’s have traded this strategy forbetween 20 and 30 years each with their ownmoney and all have skin in the game.
• Our motto is “No Position is a Position”- i.e. wedon’t trade when we don’t have edge and neverforce trades just to be in the market.

It wants to be aware of any potential issues before they develop and work collaboratively with our managers to help them best position their portfolios.
Value -Additive Feedback Because the Risk Committee is comprised of experienced risk managers, we work with our managers to help them structure positions with the most appropriate risk profile. We strive to be collaborative not solely overseers.
