Disclaimer

Neither futures trading nor swaps trading are suitable for all investors, and each involves the risk of loss. Swaps trading should
only be undertaken by investors who are Eligible Contract Participants (ECPs) within the meaning of Section 1a(18) of theCommodity Exchange Act. Futures and swaps each are leveraged investments and, because only a percentage of a contract’s
value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for either a futures or swaps
position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles and only aportion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because traders cannot expect to profit on every trade. All
examples discussed are hypothetical situations, used for explanation purposes only, and should not be considered investment
advice or the results of actual market experience.
