Pacific Futures & Capital is proud to be the leading Introducing Broker raising new capital for LJM Partners.

LJM is a Commodity Trading Advisor, registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and a member of the National Futures Association. LJM specializes in trading options on S&P futures, offering investment services to institutions and high net-worth individuals.

PF&C currently offers investment opportunities in three LJM strategies:

LJM Aggressive Strategy: Annualized profit objectives are targeted at 28-40% and greater. The Aggressive account seeks to maximize returns with the commensurate trade-off of higher volatility of returns and exposure to gap movements in the S&P index. Given the potential increased variability in short term performance the aggressive investor should have a three to five year timeline or longer. The trading strategy for the Aggressive category will include short options (puts and calls) without hedging on the S&P500 futures index.

LJM Moderately Aggressive Strategy: Annualized profit objectives are targeted at 20-24%. Given the potential variability in short term performance the moderately aggressive investor should have a two to four year timeline or longer. The trading strategy for the Moderately Aggressive adds hedging to reduce risk and to limit exposure to gap down movements of 20% or less in the underlying S&P index. The hedging strategy will include long puts (i.e. put spreads) with the goal of reducing maximum capital loss relative to purely unhedged positions. Pricing for all instruments purchased or sold to facilitate the hedging portion of the strategy will be modeled using commercially available risk management tools such as ProOpticus® (ProOpticus® is a registered trademark of Prime Analytics, Inc.) along with the proprietary LJM STORM^SM system. The Moderately Aggressive strategy does not hedge short call exposure.

LJM Preservation & Growth: Annualized profit objectives are targeted at 8-12% with the goal of capital preservation (i.e. capped loss targeted at 5% or below) in down markets (including major market drawdowns) and low performance volatility in many market conditions other than when the S&P500 futures index rallies more than 5% in a 30 day period. Investment timeline should be no less than two years. The trading strategy for Preservation and Growth will include a variety of derivatives trading including (but not limited to) put spreads against the S&P500 futures index, short futures contracts as well as a mix of long and short call options.

There are additional investment opportunities for qualified investors. If you’d like more information about these or any other LJM investments, please contact PF&C for more details.
