Managed Programs 
KOR
The KOR Strategic Commodity Program trades exclusively in row crops, oilseeds and their products, livestock and tropical commodities.  This program focuses in opportunities that are rarely captured by larger funds and CTAs.  If they are captured, minimum weighting dilutes the results against industrial commodities and/or financial instruments.  The program's competitive advantage lies in the analytical, trading and risk management skills of the management company.  That experience includes many years in pioneering OTC and exchange traded derivatives trading in the soft commodity markets.  A systematic VaR umbrella is used to quantify risk and technical tools are used to define entry and exit points as well as for exploratory positions.
