1 Alternative Sector Rotation Strategy
2 Alternative Sector Rotation Strategy INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Seeks long term growth of capital by investing in alternative asset classes as a way to compliment a traditional allocation and to offer diversification benefits. INVESTMENT APPROACH: A discretionary rotation strategy using ETFs that attempts to determine which segments of the alternative investment market, such as commodities, real estate, precious metals and energy are likely to outperform based on market conditions. When momentum begins to wane, positions are exited and moved into the sector that is showing the strongest potential. 2
3 Investment Process Invests only in long only ETFs in the commodities, energy and real estate sectors. Quantitative algorithmic model determines outperforming and underperforming sectors and provides investment signals. Management decision overlay conducted with fundamental analysis can override algorithmic signals and adjust sector exposure in extreme market conditions. Commodity price driven. In a strong dollar environment, commodity prices are negatively affected, but the strategy has the ability to move anywhere from 0-100% cash to hedge against downturns in the alternatives sector. Investment committee meets regularly to discuss holdings/weights and rebalancing of the portfolio. 3
4 Strategy Strengths Systematically traded to remove the emotional component from investment decisions. Invests in the best performing alternatives and is rebalanced monthly. Tactical approach to opportunistically capture return in outperforming sector. Concentrated exposure to specific industry sector to take advantage of investment opportunity. Employs technical analysis in portfolio construction with a fundamental macro overlay. Adds diversification to a balanced portfolio. Has the ability to invest anywhere from 0% to 100% cash to hedge against downturns in the alternatives sector. 4

9 Disclosures Elite Wealth Management, LLC ( Elite Wealth Management ) is a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The firm is defined as Elite Wealth Management and includes assets managed as dual officers. Assets under management include assets managed by Elite Wealth Management officers as dual officers of Lattice Capital Management. Any client and account statistics presented include dual officer relationships. This material (or any portion thereof) may not be copied or distributed without Elite Wealth Management s prior written approval. Statements are current as of the date of the material only. The performance shown is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, each account s performance may be different. Returns are shown net of management fees, trading costs, and other direct expenses, but before custody charges, withholding taxes, and other indirect expenses. The returns shown assume the reinvestment of dividends and other income. In the case of projected performance and cash flows, it is presented in response to client s request. Performance is expressed in U.S. dollars unless noted otherwise. Performance results for one year and less are not annualized. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future performance and are no guarantee that losses will not occur in the future. Future returns are not guaranteed and a loss of principal may occur. The standard deviations and information ratios may be higher or lower at any time. There is no guarantee that these measurements will be achieved. These results are based on model or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown. This presentation does not constitute an offer or solicitation to any person in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it would be unlawful to make such offer or solicitation.

Any specific securities identified do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for advisory clients, and may be only a small percentage of the entire portfolio and may not remain in the portfolio at the time you receive this report. You should not assume that investment decisions we make in the future will be profitable or will equal the investment performance of the past. The following provides a simplified example of the cumulative effect of management fees on investment performance: An annual management fee of 0.80% applied over a five-year period to a $100 million portfolio with an annualized gross return of 10% would reduce the value of the portfolio from $161,051,000 to $154,783,041. The actual management fee that applies to a client s portfolio will vary and performance fees may be available. The standard fee schedules for Elite Wealth Management s strategies are shown in Part II of Elite Wealth Management s Form ADV.
