The document provides information on ERIC's diversified trend-following investment program. It summarizes the program's strategy, asset class exposure, and backtested and live performance over several years. The program utilizes a mathematical algorithm to generate trading signals across various uncorrelated asset classes, including commodities, equities, currencies and more. Backtested results show annual returns ranging from 11-53% over 7 years, outperforming other common Indian investments. Live trading since 2013 has yielded a net annual return of 41.7% for the first year.

ERIC – DIVERSIFIED PROGRAM
ERIC’s Diversified Trend-Following Program is systematic and technical.
The Program utilizes a mathematical algorithm to analyze technical data in order to
generate trading signals.
These signals are applied to a diversified portfolio comprising of commodities, equity &
currency in a predominantly quantitative or mechanical fashion.
-- Will Rogers
Our program does not necessarily expect profitability over the short-term but is, instead,
geared to generate competitive returns over the long-run.
Long periods of break even or equity declines are to be expected.
A strict money management discipline is in place, the design of which is intended to
maximize return while diminishing volatility.

NOTES TO PERFORMANCE TABLE
A summary of the significant accounting policies which have been
followed in preparing the accompanying performance table is set
forth below:
1. Beginning Balance equals the ending equity from the previous
month, if applicable, and includes the sum of all cash, accrued
interest income, accrued brokerage commissions and
miscellaneous expenses and the current market value of all open
commodity positions.
2. Additions are the amounts, other than through sources of
income, added at the start of the period. Withdrawals are the
amounts, other than through sources of expense, withdrawn at
the start of the period.
3. Gross Performance is the sum of Net Realized Profit (Loss),
Change in Unrealized Profit (Loss) and Interest income.
4. ERIC Fees is the amount of annual fee earned by Ennovate
Solutions during the month. As per the agreement it is 2% of the
funds under management, calculated on the beginning monthly
balance.
5. ERIC Incentive is 30% of the Gross Performance less 8% of AUM
for Hurdle Rate and 2% of AUM for ERIC Fees. The fee’s will follow
higher watermark.
6. ERIC Advisory charges is sum of ERIC Fees and ERIC Incentive.
7. Net Pre Tax Performance is Gross Performance less ERIC Advisory
Charges.
Investor.
10.Ending Balance equals the sum of Beginning Equity plus
Additions minus Withdrawals plus Net Post Tax Performance.
11.Monthly Post Tax Rate of Return is determined using the “Time-
Weighting” method. It is determined by dividing Net Performance
for a month by the weighted average of Beginning Equity plus
Additions less Withdrawals. The weighted average is computed
by dividing the sum of each respective daily Beginning Equity
plus Additions less Withdrawals balance, before reinvested
profits or losses occurring during the month, by the number of
days in the month. Monthly Rate of Return may not be an
accurate indicator of performance since it assumes that Net
Performance is realized on a pro-rata basis over the daily
weighted average of Beginning Equity plus Additions less
Withdrawals during the month.
12.VAMI (Value Added Monthly Index) Pre Tax is included for
informational purposes only and represents the estimated
compounded monthly value of each hypothetical Rs.1,000
investment assumed to have been made as of the beginning of
the period presented. Index is calculated as 1 plus the Monthly
Pre Tax Rate of Return times the prior month’s Index. Index may
not be an accurate indicator of performance since it assumes a
continuous investment with no subsequent additions,
withdrawals or distributions of accumulated profits.
13.VAMI Post Tax is included for informational purposes only and
represents the estimated compounded monthly value of each
hypothetical Rs.1,000 investment assumed to have been made as
of the beginning of the period presented. Index is calculated as 1
plus the Monthly Post Tax Rate of Return times the prior month’s
