However, when the near month contract is within two weeks of expiration, in which case it will be measured by the futures contract that is the next month contract to expire. Then the manager constructs a portfolio of stocks from a list of companies favored by the research team and allocates capital based on its conviction level. The portfolio consists of listed natural gas futures contracts and other natural gas related futures contracts, forwards and swap contracts. These investments will be collateralized by cash, cash equivalents and US government obligations with remaining maturities of two years or less. |
