Altegris has a single focus: helping our investors successfully diversify and grow their assets by providing access to what we believe are high quality alternative investments.

The Altegris Group of Companies includes Altegris Investments and APM Funds. Altegris Investments is a registered broker/dealer serving financial professionals as well as individual sophisticated investors and family offices. APM Funds is the sponsor of a platform of hedge funds and managed futures investments designed to access high-quality alternative investment strategies, often at lower investment minimums.

The Altegris Focused Approach

Our sole focus is alternative investments. We believe the complex and evolving alternative investment landscape demands a high degree of specialized knowledge and deep understanding. Our investment process includes what we believe is a rigorous methodology for sourcing, qualifying and evaluating hedge funds and managed futures investments which may be suitable for qualified investors. Our Research and Investments team also performs extensive ongoing monitoring of the investments offered on our platform. This methodology cannot, of course, remove all of the risks associated with an investment in hedge funds or managed futures.

Alternative investment products, including hedge funds and managed futures, involve a high degree of risk, often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees which may offset any trading profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager. Alternative investment performance can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Often, alternative investment fund and account managers have total trading authority over their funds or accounts; the use of a single advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk. There is often no secondary market for an investor's interest in alternative investments, and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in any alternative investment. Alternative investment products often execute a substantial portion of their trades on non-U.S. exchanges. Investing in foreign markets may entail risks that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. markets. Additionally, alternative investments often entail commodity trading, which involves substantial risk of loss. PAST RESULTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

Altegris, a FINRA and NFA member, offers various alternative investments, including hedge funds, futures funds and managed futures and commodities accounts, that may operate in commodities markets and foreign markets, among others. Altegris and/or its officers/partners may have a financial interest in such alternative investments. In working with clients, Altegris acts in its capacity as an SEC-registered Broker-Dealer and/or as a CFTC-registered Introducing Broker and CTA. Although Altegris may give securities-related advice that is incidental to its securities brokerage services, it is not an Investment Adviser. When acting as an Introducing Broker for individually managed accounts, Altegris receives a portion of the commodity brokerage commissions you pay in connection with your futures trading and/or a portion of the interest income (if any) earned on an account's assets. CTAs may also pay Altegris a portion of the fees they receive from accounts introduced to them by Altegris. When acting as a Broker-Dealer, Altegris enters into selling agreements with hedge funds and futures funds that it offers (including funds sponsored by affiliates), pursuant to which Altegris, with respect to the interests it sells, is paid a portion of the management and/or performance fees charged by the funds or their managers in respect of those interests. Altegris may also provide ongoing managed futures consulting services to its clients for a monthly service charge pursuant to individual managed account consulting arrangements.
