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.
