However, it's important to note that this is an overlay strategy, and doesn't require additional capital outlay. Due to this, all returns are incremental to the return that you would also earn on your collateral. Additionally, the strategy has a 25% margin requirement. Depending on the margin release available on the underlying collateral, you're able to increase your exposure to the strategy up to —4x on a given amount of collateral. Of course, this would increase the potential return and risk, but would also maintain the favorable Sharpe ratio and low correlation to equities. As an example, on a given amount of collateral, 3x exposure would result in 210bps of incremental return over the past four years. CONFIDENTIAL - PURSUANT TO FED. R. CRIM.
