About Attain

Attain Portfolio Advisors, LLC ("Attain") is a registered Commodity Trading Advisor and Commodity Pool Operator with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and a member of the National Futures Association ("NFA").

Attain is a wholly owned subsidiary of Attain Capital Management ("ACM") - a diversified asset management firm specializing in unique alternative investment solutions in markets around the globe.

ACM's business has been built upon the belief that an investment portfolio with exposure to alternative investments, such as technical based trading systems and managed futures funds, can consistently out perform Wall Street's "Buy and Hold" mentality. Matching such alternative investment solutions with the wealth management needs of individual investors comprises the backbone of our services.

Attain Portfolio Advisors was specifically formed to bring the experience and knowledge of the ACM team to the managed futures arena.

ACM founders Jeff Malec and Walter Gallwas double as principals of Attain, bringing their experience and contacts with hundreds of trading system developers to the management firm.

Mr. Malec holds the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst, CAIA, designation. The CAIA program is designed to provide finance professionals with a broad base of knowledge in traditional and modern alternative investment vehicles, including real estate, private equity and commodities, as well as hedge funds and managed futures.

Jack Parker (PhD) joined the Attain team as director of research and development, responsible for trading system design and testing.

Dr. Parker has served in numerous academic, government, and private sector positions over the last 25 years involving research and application of advanced stochastic and numerical models.


Important Risk Disclosure

Futures based investments are often complex and can carry the risk of substantial losses. They are intended for sophisticated investors and are not suitable for everyone. The ability to withstand losses and to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can adversely affect investor returns.

Managed futures accounts can subject to substantial charges for management and advisory fees. The numbers throughout this site include all such fees, but it may be necessary for those accounts that are subject to these charges to make substantial trading profits in the future to avoid depletion or exhaustion of their assets.

The regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) require that prospective clients of a CTA receive a disclosure document when they are solicited to enter into an agreement whereby the CTA will direct or guide the client's commodity interest trading and that certain risk factors be highlighted. The disclosure document contains a complete description of the principal risk factors and each fee to be charged to your account by the Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA). This document is readily accessible at this site under the Performance and Program pages.

As past performance does not guarantee future results, these results may have no bearing on, and may not be indicative of, any individual returns realized through participation in this investment. No part of this document should be considered apart from the Disclosure Statements contained herein.
