Proven success even in volatile markets
BACKGROUND

• A2A is a ‘sister’ company to Alternative Asset Management Limited (“A2ML) an FSA

Regulated and Authorised asset management company based in London

sophisticated automated trading systems combined with traditional hands-on management

a carefully risk controlled environment and managed by our carefully chosen skilled

WHAT IS VORM VISION?

• Vorm Vision is the result of over 4 decades of cumulative ‘market’ trading experience by two
remarkable brothers who have produced consistent positive returns over the past 12
months.
• A multi-market strategy dedicated to investing in stock market volatility as an asset. The
objective is to capture the uncorrelated alpha that exists in trading the major European and
US stock indeces in a risk limited way
• Vorm Vision use volatility as an asset. Hands on trading via constant monitoring of the
markets during ‘market hours’ as traders scan for high value opportunities, to create a long-
short portfolio of short term futures trades that seek to target maximum risk adjusted
returns to build profit via non-correlated investments
• A multi-market strategy investing in predominantly Equities futures and occasionally
Commodities
• Looking to achieve high value and consistent absolute returns
• 12 month track record of actual results:
• A2A & Willem and Herman Van der Vorm introduce Vorm Vision; offering a select number
of carefully chosen investors access to dynamic and high value returns through a bespoke

HOW IT WORKS

• Market prices for futures and options can be used to describe an implied probability of
future movement in underlying markets
• Our traders constantly monitor, analyse and compare proprietary views with the market’s
implied prospective movement to identify optimal trading strategies.
 • Futures and options are used to either accumulate a ‘long’ position in the markets (Where
our Vorm Vision traders believe the market direction is up) or a short position (where our
traders believe the market direction is down). This assessment is based on many decades on
hands-on experience by a core team of some of the most experienced professional market
traders in the ‘markets’ today.

Ultimately, the relationship between implied and forecast volatility drives profitability over time. Our
traders carefully judge likely scenarios and build long/short positions with a view to profit over the
short, medium and long term

Here we can see the steady accumulation of profits over the 12 month period to February 2010.
Note the steady and fairly consistent build in investor equity over the months

VORM VISION OVERVIEW

A distinguishing feature of A2A’s Vorm Vision trading approach is that all trades are carefully
positioned so as to provide a non-correlated portfolio of non-correlated risk.(Risk Warning: Whilst
every effort is made to minimize risk wherever possible, investors should note that it is not always
possible to achieve un-correlated trading positions. Human emotion has a significant baring on
position size and duration which can effect returns adversely from time to time. This can therefore
increase intrinsic risk within the trading portfolio.)

Vorm Vision trading positions are calculated and sized so as to attempt to maximize investor returns
whilst limiting, where possible, risk. It is always important to allow trading positions to ‘breath’ with
the markets. Our traders know only too well that most traders are often caught between the
inexorable position of ‘greed’ and fear’ – not knowing whether to sell and crystallize losses before it
is too late, or add to positions as losses are incurred so as to enjoy the benefits of a reversion to
mean or clear change in trend or direction.

Such experience can only come through years of hands on physical trading and this is often what
makes a good trader into a great trader.

Vorm Vision traders have a result profile that speaks for itself:

RISK MANAGEMENT

A2A and Vorm Vision’s risk management philosophy is to ensure that the Vorm Vision trading
portfolio cannot suffer unlimited losses. This is achieved by prohibiting the downside by applying
strict stop losses on the trading portfolios

In response to demand for a limited risk from potential investors, A2A and Vorm Vision intend to use
active stop losses where necessary. The traders philosophy underlying the decision making process
for each trade have been developed and refined for over 4 decades

Investors should note that volatility in trading is a feature of high return trading strategies and thus
from time to time our trading strategies will see significant draw-down before achieving profit
targets. Draw-down can last for minutes, hours or even days and weeks. Investors should be aware
of the risks and consult with appropriate professional and legal adviser if they are in any doubt as to
the risks involved in futures and options trading.
