Important information
Disclosures
Public information based on the September 2026 preliminary investor presentation. Definitive documents control.
Important Notices
These materials are for informational and discussion purposes only. They do not constitute investment, tax, legal, accounting or regulatory advice, or an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security, fund interest, advisory service or other investment product. Prospective investors should consult their own financial, legal, tax, accounting and regulatory advisers.
Offering Status
As of the September 2026 presentation, the proposed private fund had not been formed or launched. Any contemplated terms are preliminary and subject to final documentation. Any future offering will be made only through definitive documents and applicable exemptions or registrations. Definitive offering, advisory and governing documents control in the event of any inconsistency.
Performance and Forward-Looking Information
Past, live, incubated, historical managed-account composite, backtested, out-of-sample, hypothetical, simulated and modeled results are not indicative of future results. These evidence categories are distinct. The historical managed-account composite spans multiple accounts and strategy regimes and is not the current macro strategy alone. Objectives, targets and estimates are not guarantees, promises or predictions. Assumptions may prove incorrect, and models cannot capture every structural break, liquidity crisis, operational failure or nonlinear event.
Risk Factors
Investing involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of some or all invested capital. Stress testing is a diagnostic tool, not insurance. Actual losses may exceed modeled scenarios. Risks include market, model, backtest and out-of-sample, execution, liquidity, concentration and correlation, ETF, gold and commodity-linked exposure, Treasury and interest-rate, operational and cybersecurity, key-person, and regulatory and tax risk. Relationships may stop working, apparent diversification may break down, and stressed markets may delay exits. This summary is not a complete risk disclosure.
Fees and Expenses
Fees, expenses and taxes reduce returns. Results may not reflect all management fees, performance-based compensation, organizational, administrative, audit, legal, custody, trading, slippage, market-impact, tax or investor-specific costs unless expressly stated. Definitive documents will describe applicable costs. Performance-based compensation may create incentives to take additional risk.
Conflicts of Interest
AIS and related persons may manage multiple accounts, strategies or vehicles with different objectives, fees, liquidity and tax profiles. Potential conflicts include trade allocation, model updates, capacity allocation, valuation, expenses and fee incentives.
Custody
Depending on structure, assets may be held at independent third-party custodians, brokers, banks or other financial institutions. AIS is not a bank, broker-dealer, custodian, FDIC-insured institution or SIPC member. Third-party custody and brokerage relationships do not insure against investment losses. SIPC does not protect against market loss.
Regulatory Status
Ames Investment Systems LLC is a Colorado limited liability company and has filed Form ADV through the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD). Form ADV may be used for adviser registration or exempt reporting. The exact current registration or reporting status should be determined from the latest public Form ADV filing. Filing or registration does not constitute approval, endorsement, recommendation or review by the SEC, Colorado or any other regulator, and does not imply a particular level of skill, training or investment performance.
