PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. THE

RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITY FUTURES, OPTIONS, AND FOREIGN

EXCHANGE ("FOREX") IS SUBSTANTIAL.
CTA INTRODUCTION

Opes Capital Group is a Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) registered in

July 2009 with the Commodity Futures Trading Association (CFTC) and is

a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). Based in Beverly

Hills, California, Opes Capital Group specializes in managed futures

options, which can be a valuable asset to any portfolio as an

alternative investment. Opes Capital Group's managed accounts may be

used to increase portfolio diversification, reduce overall volatility,

and achieve higher returns than traditional passive investments.

opes capital: Partnership

Opes has a well-defined investment philosophy that guides our

investment activities. This philosophy is manifested in the

partnerships we develop, in our approach to building businesses and in

our commitment to alignment with our management. We believe adhering

to these principles leads to superior results for everyone involved in

our investments.
Partnership
We have a profound respect for the talented people that drive success

in the businesses that operate in our target markets and we develop

strong, collegial relationships with management teams based on three

core principles: mutual respect, common goals and trust. These core

principles are what enable us to be a productive, collaborative

partner and facilitate an open, informed dialogue with our management

partners. Over time we have found that taking this approach enables

Opes and management to act more swiftly and decisively when

capitalising on opportunities or addressing challenges.
Focused Business Building
We limit our investment activity to a small number of businesses to

allow the focus necessary to achieve our goal of building market-

leaders. We work closely with management to support the development of

each company's strategic plan and initiatives to improve growth,

profitability, operational effectiveness and, ultimately, business

value. By dedicating our resources in this way, we enable management

teams to expand the scope or accelerate the time frames of their

business plans. The effectiveness of this focused approach has been

demonstrated through the achievement of substantial growth and

improved profitability at many of our prior investments.
Our philosophy is based on the belief that the value of a business

over the long term is primarily determined by earnings growth and

profitability. Therefore, companies that can consistently earn returns

on equity and capital above their cost of capital make the most

attractive long-term investments.
Target Investments
Our philosophy is to focus on the long term, to invest in quality

assets and to control investment risk. By following this disciplined

approach, Opes has repeatedly found opportunities both for growth and

the preservation of assets in a variety of market conditions. This has

led to a long track record of delivering consistent, risk-adjusted

returns.
