In reviewing this presentation, you should consider the following:
i-Cthru commenced operations on January 1, 2014.
Unless otherwise indicated in this presentation, returns are calculated net of all fees, expenses and trading costs. Certain investors are not subject to
advisory fees, and the inclusion of such investors’ accounts in the returns presented will result in such returns being higher than if such accounts were
not included. Furthermore, since the fee rates applicable to investors vary, inclusion of investor accounts that are subject to lower effective fees in the
returns presented will result in such returns being higher than the returns that would be achieved by particular fee paying investors subject to higher
effective fees over the same time period. Additional details relating to the methodology used in calculating returns and returns calculated net of specific
fee rates are available upon request , from Interactive Brokers. Figures for 2014 are provided by Interactive Brokers.

may not copy, transmit or distribute i-Cthru Information, or any data or other information contained therein, or authorize such actions by others, without
i-Cthru’s express prior written consent, except that you may share i-Cthru Information with your professional advisors for the purpose of making or
monitoring investment decisions. If you are a professional financial adviser, you may share i-Cthru Information with those of your clients that you
reasonably determine to be eligible to invest in i-Cthru’s Managed Account strategy (i-Cthru assumes no responsibility with respect to information
shared that is presented in a form different from that presented in i-Cthru Information); (ii) except as provided above, the copying or distribution of i-
Cthru Information, or any data or other information contained therein, in whole or in part, or the authorization of such actions by others, without i-Cthru’s
express prior written consent, may constitute a breach of contract and applicable copyright laws; (iii) to the extent that i-Cthru Information includes
information provided by parties who are not affiliated with i-Cthru, including Interactive Brokers, neither i-Cthru nor any of its affiliates has independently
verified such information and makes no representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness; and (iv) the information and opinions (if any)
expressed in i-Cthru Information are as of the date set forth therein, and i-Cthru does not undertake to update i-Cthru Information or to advise recipients
of revisions to the information or opinions (if any) presented therein.
i-Cthru and/or certain qualified officers and employees of i-Cthru (and members of their families) may at any time own an account managed by i-Cthru.
However, no such person is required to maintain an account managed by i-Cthru.
To the extent i-Cthru Information includes i-Cthru’s performance: (I) the rate of return figure for a stated period represents the percentage change from
the end of the previous stated period; (ii) i-Cthru Information may not include performance data for the most recent month of performance; and (iii)
interpretation of the performance statistics, if any, used in i-Cthru Information is subject to certain limitations, including that statistical methods often
make simplifying assumptions that may or may not apply to a given situation. You are advised to interpret these and all performance statistics with
caution. The figures for any index (an "Index") referred to herein include the reinvestment of dividends or interest income, as the case may be. i-Cthru
may use “estimated" figures for an Index in circumstances where "final" figures are not yet available. Except in cases where a particular Index is
formally referenced as a performance objective, no Index referred to herein is intended to be used as a performance benchmark, but is merely provided
as an indication of the performance of a particular segment of the capital markets. Further, comparison to an Index is not meant to imply that investing
with i-Cthru is comparable to an investment in such Index or in the underlying constituents of such Index. Certain Indices may not be "investable”.
Further, i-Cthru’s managed accounts typically are actively managed, while one or more Indices used for comparison purposes may be "passive."
Comparisons of actively-managed products to any Index, passive or actively-managed, are subject to material inherent limitations.
The performance and tax consequences of an investment in an i-Cthru managed account, on the one hand, and an investment in any Index (if
"investable"), or in the underlying constituents of an Index, on the other hand, are likely to be materially different- Except as expressly otherwise
provided, the figures for each Index presented herein represent the U.S. dollar-denominated figures for such Index.
