IMPORTANT:
Only live, verifiable, real-money returns may be presented. Composite client returns are preferred where possible. In order to ensure consistency, returns are to be presented gross of management fees. Returns from databases such as Theta Research are considered live, real-money returns and may be mathematically adjusted to create gross of fee results.  Hypothetical, back-tested, or “model” returns are NOT permitted to be presented in any fashion. Violation of this rule will result in immediate disqualification from the competition. If you have any questions regarding the use of return data, please contact the Active Investing Strategy Committee.
