DESCRIPTION OF TRADING
|
Mr.
Duggan and the principals of Jackson Boulevard Capital Management,
Ltd. spend a substantial amount of time studying and investing
in the savings and loan and thrift industries. The Partnership
plans to invest primarily in the initial public offerings in the
thrift industry. In the event that the Partnership is not able
to subscribe for stock on the initial public offering, it is the
Partnership's intention to purchase shares of securities following
their initial public offering.
The investment method of the Partnership will primarily involve
five factors. 1. Attempting to purchase initial public offerings
in the thrift industry, 2. Purchasing shares of stock in the thrift
industry after their initial public offering, 3. Investing in
certain banking and insurance stocks and other financial institutions,
4. The use of margined accounts when trading these securities,
and 5. Investing in non-financial securities.
The use of a margin account for leveraged securities trading involves
incurring additional risk. Margin trading has lead to higher performance
results of the Partnership. The use of margin trading may lead
to larger losses than non-margined trading. All margin expenses
are borne by the Partnership.
The Partnership also intends to engage in the trading of various
types of domestic securities including, but not limited to, listed
and unlisted common stocks, preferred stock, stock warrants and
rights, convertible securities, money market obligations and options
to buy and sell securities, and to a lesser degree commodities
such as currencies, commodity futures, agricultural and tropical
items, industrial items, metals, and financial and economic indices.
The Partnership's trading strategies will be derived from a fundamental
and technical analysis of relative value within a given market.
The Partnership intends to short securities in addition to buying
or being long other securities.
The
Partnership intends to invest in securities in the savings and loan,
banking, insurance, brokerage and general financial industries.
The Partnership will not allocate a predetermined percentage of
assets to financial securities, but will invest in security and
commodity interests in which it sees a potential for capital appreciation
regardless of market segment.
The Partnership may use a margin account to hold its securities.
The Partnership intends to have a margin agreement on file - this
document will spell out the rules governing the margin account including
the hypothecation of securities, how much equity the customer must
keep in the account, and the interest rate on margin loans. In general,
the minimum margin requirement when borrowing from a broker to purchase
securities is 50% of the sale price in cash or eligible securities,
with a minimum of $2,000. The use of margin accounts and margin
when purchasing securities involves a high degree of risk and can
cause losses to add up much quicker.
At
no time will the Partnership commit more than 25% of its asset value
to any one position. There may be circumstances where a position
appreciates in value and becomes more than 25% of the Partnership’s
total asset value. In those instances, the Partnership will not
be obligated to reduce its position to 25%. Further, the Partnership
will attempt to be judicious in its use of options and commodities
so as to control and benefit from leverage without exposure to undue
risk.
