    (1) EFFECT OF LEVERAGE OR GEARING

    TrANSACTIoNS IN FUTUrES CArrY A HIGH DEGrEE oF rISK. THE AMoUNT oF INITIAL MArGIN IS SMALL rELATIVETo THE VALUE oF THE FUTUrES CoNTrACT So THAT TrANSACTIoNS ArE LEVErAGED or GEArED. A rELATIVELYSMALL MArKET MoVEMENT WILL HAVE A ProPorTIoNATELY LArGEr IMPACT oN THE FUNDS YoU HAVE DEPoSITEDOR WILL HAVE TO DEPOSIT: THIS MAY WORK AGAINST YOU AS WELL AS FOR YOU. YOU MAY SUSTAIN A TOTAL LOSS OFINITIAL MArGIN FUNDS AND ANY ADDITIoNAL FUNDS DEPoSITED WITH THE FIrM To MAINTAIN YoUr PoSITIoN. IF THEMArKET MoVES AGAINST YoUr PoSITIoN or MArGIN LEVELS ArE INCrEASED, YoU MAY BE CALLED UPoN To PAYSUBSTANTIAL ADDITIoNAL FUNDS oN SHorT NoTICE To MAINTAIN YoUr PoSITIoN. IF YoU FAIL To CoMPLY WITH ArEQUEST For ADDITIoNAL FUNDS WITHIN THE TIME PrESCrIBED, YoUr PoSITIoN MAY BE LIQUIDATED AT A LoSS AND

    YoU WILL BE LIABLE For ANY rESULTING DEFICIT.

    (2) RISK-REDUCING ORDERS OR STRATEGIES

    THE PLACING oF CErTAIN orDErS (e.g., SToP-LoSS orDErS, WHErE PErMITTED UNDEr LoCAL LAW, or SToP-LIMIT orDErS) WHICH ArE INTENDED To LIMIT LoSSES To CErTAIN AMoUNTS MAY NoT BE EFFECTIVE BECAUSEMArKET CoNDITIoNS MAY MAKE IT IMPoSSIBLE To EXECUTE SUCH orDErS. STrATEGIES USING CoMBINATIoNS oFPoSITIoNS, SUCH AS SPrEAD AND STrADDLE PoSITIoNS, MAY BE AS rISKY AS TAKING SIMPLE LoNG or SHorTPoSITIoNS.

    (3) VARIABLE DEGREE OF RISK

    TrANSACTIoNS IN oPTIoNS CArrY A HIGH DEGrEE oF rISK. PUrCHASErS AND SELLErS oF oPTIoNS SHoULD FA-MILIArIZE THEMSELVES WITH THE TYPE oF oPTIoN (i.e. ,PUT or CALL) WHICH THEY CoNTEMPLATE TrADING AND THEASSoCIATED rISKS. YoU SHoULD CALCULATE THE EXTENT To WHICH THE VALUE oF THE oPTIoNS MUST INCrEASEFor YoUr PoSITIoN To BECoME ProFITABLE, TAKING INTo ACCoUNT THE PrEMIUM AND ALL TrANSACTIoN CoSTS.

    THE PUrCHASEr oF oPTIoNS MAY oFFSET or EXErCISE THE oPTIoNS or ALLoW THE oPTIoNS To EXPIrE. THEEXErCISE oF AN oPTIoN rESULTS EITHEr IN A CASH SETTLEMENT or IN THE PUrCHASEr ACQUIrING or DELIV-ErING THE UNDErLYING INTErEST. IF THE oPTIoN IS oN A FUTUrE, THE PUrCHASEr WILL ACQUIrE A FUTUrESPoSITIoN WITH ASSoCIATED LIABILITIES For MArGIN (SEE THE SECTIoN oN FUTUrES ABoVE). IF THE PUrCHASEDoPTIoNS EXPIrE WorTHLESS, YoU WILL SUFFEr A ToTAL LoSS oF YoUr INVESTMENT WHICH WILL CoNSIST oF THEoPTIoN PrEMIUM PLUS TrANSACTIoN CoSTS. IF YoU ArE CoNTEMPLATING PUrCHASING DEEP-oUT-oF-THE-MoNEYoPTIoNS, YoU SHoULD BE AWArE THAT THE CHANCE oF SUCH oPTIoNS BECoMING ProFITABLE orDINArILY IS rE-MoTE.

    SELLING (WrITING or GrANTING) AN oPTIoN GENErALLY ENTAILS CoNSIDErABLY GrEATEr rISK THAN PUrCHAS-

    ING oPTIoNS. ALTHoUGH THE PrEMIUM rECEIVED BY THE SELLEr IS FIXED, THE SELLEr MAY SUSTAIN A LoSS WELLIN EXCESS oF THAT AMoUNT. THE SELLEr WILL BE LIABLE For ADDITIoNAL MArGIN To MAINTAIN THE PoSITIoN IF THEMArKET MoVES UNFAVorABLY. THE SELLEr WILL ALSo BE EXPoSED To THE rISK oF THE PUrCHASEr EXErCISINGTHE oPTIoN AND THE SELLEr WILL BE oBLIGATED To EITHEr SETTLE THE oPTIoN IN CASH or To ACQUIrE or DELIV-Er THE UNDErLYING INTErEST. IF THE oPTIoN IS oN A FUTUrE, THE SELLEr WILL ACQUIrE A PoSITIoN IN A FUTUrEWITH ASSoCIATED LIABILITIES For MArGIN (SEE THE SECTIoN oN FUTUrES ABoVE). IF THE oPTIoN IS CoVErED BYTHE SELLEr HoLDING A CorrESPoNDING PoSITIoN IN THE UNDErLYING INTErEST or A FUTUrE or ANoTHEr oP-TIoN, THE rISK MAY BE rEDUCED. IF THE oPTIoN IS NoT CoVErED, THE rISK oF LoSS CAN BE UNLIMITED.

    CErTAIN EXCHANGES IN SoME JUrISDICTIoNS PErMIT DEFErrED PAYMENT oF THE oPTIoN PrEMIUM, EXPoSINGTHE PUrCHASEr To LIABILITY For MArGIN PAYMENTS NoT EXCEEDING THE AMoUNT oF THE PrEMIUM. THE PUr-CHASEr IS STILL SUBJECT To THE rISK oF LoSING THE PrEMIUM AND TrANSACTIoN CoSTS. WHEN THE oPTIoN ISEXErCISED or EXPIrES, THE PUrCHASEr IS rESPoNSIBLE For ANY UNPAID PrEMIUM oUTSTANDING AT THAT TIME.
