Answer this Item 12 only if you are registered or registering with the SEC and you indicated in response to Item 5.F.(2)(c) that you have regulatory assets under management of less than $25 million.

Red Dot Trade Finance LLC is owned and operated by Joshua Levy, Partner and Michael Fowler, Partner. B. Advisory Services Offered Investment Advisory Services — Atorus provides continuous, active management of Client investment portfolios. Atoms has developed a client service model that includes discovery, implementation and monitoring components. Client Discovery — Atorus will only accept Qualified Investors and as such will collect information concerning the Client's financial status and assets among other things. Upon entering into an advisory agreement with Atoms, Atoms will begin to implement its proprietary investment strategy Investment Plan — Once Atoms confirms that a client's investment objectives, and tolerance, and capacity for risk are consistent with those of its own investment strategy, Atoms will construct a portfolio for the Client based on its proprietary security selection and trading process. This portfolio will be designed to maximize profits by generating short and intermediate term trading gains. Investment Selection and Implementation — Upon identification of potential positions, Atoms will begin constructing the portfolio for the Client. The implementation process may take a considerable period of time until optimal entry points are reached. Atoms will invest Client assets in variety of instruments, depending on various factors related to Atoms' investment analysis. Investment securities may include any class/sector/instrument deemed appropriate by Atoms. Investment Monitoring and Maintenance — Atoms will continuously monitor investment portfolios to ensure that the portfolio meets the objectives of generating speculative gains. It is the Client's responsibility to notify Atoms promptly of any change to the information provided by the Client, including any change to any investment objectives, risk tolerance, and any investment policies, guidelines or reasonable restrictions. Atoms will honor Client restrictions unless those restrictions impair Atoms' ability to manage Client assets. Prior to rendering investment management services, Atorus will ascertain, in conjunction with the Client, that the Client's financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objective(s) are appropriate for Atorus' investment process. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging Atoms to provide investment advisory services, the Client is required to enter into an investment management agreement with Atoms setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement and the services to be provided. 'These services will include: Security Selection — Atoms will implement its investment recommendations in accordance with its proprietary strategy. Generally, portfolio management is done on a discretionary basis. Atoms will use the services of a non-affiliated broker-dealer to provide account custodial services and to affect trades Red Dot Trade Finance, LLC 86 Myles Standish Rd., Weston, MA 02493 Phone: (978) 295-1765 K Fax: (978 ) 295-1765 EFTA01078446 Ongoing Investment Monitoring — Atoms provides ongoing oversight of the Client's investment program. All investments are monitored for performance on an absolute return basis. All portfolios are rebalanced as necessary upon Atoms review. More or less frequent rebalancing may be required depending on macroeconomic, market, or technical factors. D. Wrap Fee Programs Atoms does not manage any proprietary wrap fee programs. E. Assets Under Management Atoms was registered with the State of Massachusetts in November 2012. Updated asset figures are calculated annually following the December 31, 2012 fiscal year end of Atoms. Item 5 - Fees and Compensation The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for investment management services. Each Client shall sign an Investment Advisory Agreement that details the responsibilities of Atoms and the Client. A. Fees for Advisory Services Management Fee — Clients will pay a Management Fee. This Management fee is payable monthly at the start of the fiscal period. The Management Fee will be 2% annualized. Each month Atoms will be paid 43.1666796, or 1/12th of the annualized fee. The Management Fee will be considered payment for work done to design the portfolio for the coming month. Performance Fee — In addition to the Management Fee, Atoms will charge Clients a Performance Fee. To be eligible for this fee structure, an individual or institution must place at least $750,000 under management with Atoms or have a minimum net worth of $1,soot000. The arrangement must satisfy the requirements of SEC Rule 205-3 and any applicable state requirements dealing with performance fees. The standard Performance Fee is 20% for net realized trading profits above the closing account balance of net realized trading profits of the prior fiscal period so long as the total NAV is larger than the sum of the initial capital + contributed capital + other expenses charged + realized gains at the end of the previous fiscal period. The Performance Fee will be calculated and charged in arrears at the end of each fiscal period starting at the end of the second fiscal period after the client's initial investment. A fiscal period is one calendar months ending on the last business day of the calendar month. The Performance Fee is subject to a High Water Mark (see below). A detailed written calculation of the Performance Fee will be provided to the client after the end of each fiscal period when applicable. The Performance Fee structure may be negotiated only under special circumstances. High Water Mark — Atoms' Performance Fee is subject to a loss carry forward limitation (a "High Water Mark") such that no Performance Fee will be paid by a Client until prior net realized trading losses, if any, have been recouped. In addition, no Performance Fee will be paid by the client if NAV at the end of said fiscal period is less than the sum of the initial capital, contributed capital, expenses charged and realized gains at the end of the previous fiscal period. A loss carry forward of a Client will be proportionately reduced to take into account any withdrawals by that Client. EFTA01078447 All securities held in a portfolio managed by Atoms will be independently valued by the Custodian. Atoms will not have the authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities. Consulting Fees — Atoms' fee for consulting services varies based on the services selected by the client, as well as the complexity and duration of the engagement. Typically, fees are a fixed dollar amount. This fee includes the services and costs for contracted services. Retainer fees will be determined in advance of an engagement and agreed to in writing by the Client and Atoms. Extraordinary costs and expenses may be billed separately, and in addition to, the contracted retainer fee. B. Fee Billing Management Fee — Fees are a fixed percentage of assets under management, based upon the account value on the last day of the prior month. Fees for investment management services vary depending on the amount of assets to be managed. Clients are billed monthly for security selection for the coming month. For accounts opened during the month, fees will be prorated to cover only that period which the account will be managed by Atoms. Asset-based management fees will be automatically deducted from the client account by the Custodian. Atoms shall send a monthly invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client Account. The amount due is calculated by applying the annual rate in the table above to the total assets under management with Atoms at the start of each month. Each billing will be for the security selection applicable to the coming fiscal period. Atoms does reserve the right to make changes to the portfolio during the month but will not charge additional management fees for making those changes. Clients will receive independent statements from the Custodian no less frequently than monthly. It is the responsibility of the client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian's brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Performance Fee — The Performance Fee will be determined monthly at the end of the fiscal period. Atoms will send to the account Custodian an invoice and the Client an invoice showing the amount to be withdrawn and how that figure was calculated. The Custodian will debit the Client's account and allocate those funds to Atoms. Consulting I Retainer Fee — If applicable, once the Retainer Fee for a Client is determined, Atoms may bill up to so% of the fee in advance of commencing any project work. The balance of the fee is due upon completion of the work agreed to by contract. Retainer fees will not be debited from the Client's account. Atoms will bill Clients directly. Atoms will mail to the Client an invoice for the retainer fee. In such cases, no invoice will be sent the custodian of the Client. Payment is due within to business days of receiving the invoice. C. Other Fees and Expenses Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third-parties, other than Atoms, in connection with investment made on behalf of the Client's account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custodial and securities execution fees charged by the Custodian and executing broker-dealer. The investment advisory charged by Atoms is separate and distinct from these Custodian and execution fees. In addition, all fees paid to Atoms for Investment Advisory Services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in certain investments, without the services of Atoms, but would not receive access to Advisor and Institutional shares classes. The Client also would not receive the services provided by Atoms which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate to each Client's financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund(s) and the fees charged by Atoms to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Red Dot Trade Finance. 1.1.0 EFTA01078448 In the operating of the business Atoms may incur other fees such as fees for market data, data subscription, information services, accounting, legal or other professional fees. Atoms reserves the right to charge clients for these services. Charges will be made Pro Rata in proportion to the client's investment relative to the size of other investors. D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination AdValleP FPfl — As noted, above, Atoms is compensated for its services in advance of each month for investment management services to be provided. Clients may request to terminate their Investment Management Agreement with Atorus, in whole or in part, by providing advance written or oral notification. The Client shall be responsible for investment advisory fees up to and including the effective date of termination. As fees will be charged at the start of the fiscal period for security selection, Atorus will not refund any fees billed. In addition clients shall be responsible for performance fees up to and including the effective date of termination. The Client's Investment Management Agreement with Atoms is non-transferable without Client's written approval. Termination - Clients may request to terminate their Investment Advisory Agreement with Atoms, in whole or in part, by providing advance written notice to Atoms in accordance with investor agreements. The Client shall be responsible for investment advisory fees up to and including the effective date of termination. The Client's Investment Management Agreement with Atoms is non-transferable without Client's written approval. Upon termination, no portion of the Incentive Allocation shall be payable back to the Client as this fee is paid in arrears. Clients may terminate the Investment Management Agreement without penalty (full refund or no fees due) within 5 business days of signing the Agreement if the Atoms Form ADV Part 2 was not delivered at least 48 hours prior to client's execution of the Agreement. E. Compensation for Sales of Securities Atoms does not receive commissions or any compensation for transactions in any Client account. As a fee-only advisor, Atoms is paid only on the advice and investment management provided to Clients based on the assets under management in the Client's account(s). To the extent any rebates are made available from exchanges or other third parties they will be for the benefit of the fund. Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees Performance-based Fees —Atoms may charge a Performance Fee. The Performance Fee paid by certain eligible Clients to Atoms may create an incentive for Atoms to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case if this fee were not paid. The Performance Fee is calculated on a basis which includes realized appreciation of the Client's account in order to align the long term goal of investors and Atoms. Side-by-side Management — Atoms does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options for its Clients. Item 7 - Types of Clients Red Dot Trade Finance, LLC EFTA01078449 Atorus may provide services to a variety of client types. Clients may include: Individuals, Personal Trusts and Estates — Private investors, investing personal assets. Clients are generally affluent and high net worth persons. Other Financial Service Firms — Typically other investment Advisors for whom Atoms provides investment management services. The relative percentage each client type currently represents is available on Atoms' Form ADV Part 1. The actual mix of types of Clients changes over time based upon market conditions, business plans and other factors. Atorus does not specialize in, or actively seek, any given client type. Atoms is committed to providing services to qualified investors, regardless of legal or corporate status. Atoms provides customized services to meet the unique needs of each Client. Additional details are contained in Item 4 — Advisory Services. Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis Proprietary Methodology — The principals of Atorus have proprietary securities research and selection methodology. Atoms will use this methodology in their analysis of securities for Client portfolios for timing of entry and exit, leverage points as well as to determine if said securities should be included in the client's portfolio. Other methods of analysis may be employed by Atoms as deemed appropriate. B. Investment Strategies Atoms structures portfolios using the various methodologies described above. The first step in the securities selection process is to screen the universe of investment options to narrow investment possibilities. Once securities have been included as a possible investment option, Atoms then undertakes a more rigorous analysis to determine leverage, exit and entry points. Using this proprietary methodology, Atoms believes that Clients will benefit from having a portfolio of assets that are not highly correlated. This careful adherence to proprietary methodology should allow the portfolio to experience investment returns with mitigated risk. Atoms monitors a broad universe of securities for potential investments. Yet, only a small percentage will fit the investment criteria employed in the strategy. Atoms' strategy is to generate short and intermediate term trading profits and is highly speculative in nature. B. Risk of Loss General Investment Risks — Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. There is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals. Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to understand if Atorus' strategy is appropriate for each Client. Client participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's account. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client Red Dot Trade Finance, LLC 86 Myles Standish Rd., Weston, MA 02493 Phone: (978) 295-1765 K Fax: (978) 295-1765 EFTA01078450 or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis. Atoms generally employs investment strategies that involve significant risk In choosing Atoms as an investment advisor the Client is explicitly acknowledging the acceptance of this risk Options and Futures — Certain investment strategies offered by Atorus may make use of options and/or futures contracts. These option and futures contracts run the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time in amounts in egress of their initial cost or income. Option and futures contracts are leveraged, derivative instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of the underlying issue. This imbedded leverage may compound gains and losses. Leverage — Atoms plans to employ leverage on Client portfolios to attempt to enhance gains. Leverage is defined as borrowing on margin funds in excess of the Client's principal, and as a result could generate losses for the Client in excess of the principal balance. Other Risks - Please remember that different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, including the possible loss of principal and that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, it should not be assumed that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy including the investments and/or investment strategies undertaken by Atorus will be profitable.

As we advise all Clients, we encourage you to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider in which you partner.

Other firm's employing Atoms employees may be registered with a domestic or foreign governmental agency with jurisdiction over that firm's activity. In this capacity the individual associates may receive customary remuneration and other related revenues. Some of these may come in the form of incentives, and most cause the affiliate to have a conflict of interest in rendering professional services to unrelated firms. No affiliation is created between Atoms and these other firms by way of common employment by certain individuals. Red Dot Trade Finance, LW 86 Myles Standish Rd., Weston, MA 02493 Phone: (978) 295-1765 K Fax: (978 ) 295-1765 EFTA01078451 Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics Atoms has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code of Ethics applies to all persons associated with Atoms. The Code of Ethics was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding our duties to you, our Client. Atoms and its personnel owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Atoms associates to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code but to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code of Ethics covers a range of topics that may include; general ethical principles, reporting personal securities trading, exceptions to reporting securities trading, reportable securities, initial public offerings and private placements, reporting ethical violations, distribution of the Code of Ethics, review and enforcement processes, amendments to Form ADV and supervisory procedures. Atoms has written its Code of Ethics to meet and exceed regulatory standards. To request a copy of our Code of Ethics, please contact us at (978) 295-1765. B. Personal Trading and Conflicts of Interest Atoms allows our employees to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities we recommend (purchase or sell) to you presents a potential conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate through policies and procedures. As noted above, we have adopted, consistent with Section 2o4A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, a Code of Ethics, which addresses insider trading (material non-public information controls) and personal securities reporting procedures. We have also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information. We may have an interest or position in certain securities, which may also be recommended to you. At no time, will Atorus or any associated person of Atoms, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client. Atoms is a pee-Only advisor, who, in all circumstances, is compensated solely by the Client, with neither the advisor nor any related party receiving compensation that is contingent on the purchase or sale of any financial product. Atoms does not engage in any transactions where it has a financial interest, including, but not limited to commissionable securities transactions, buying securities from or selling securities to its Clients. Item 12 - Brokerage Practices A. Recommendation of Custodian[s] Atoms does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custodial and execution services. The Client will select the broker-dealer or custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets and authorize Atoms to direct trades to this Custodian as agreed in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Further, Red Dot Trade Finance. LLC EFTA01078452 Atoms does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of our Clients on a trade-by- trade basis although will work to mitigate transaction costs where possible. Where Atoms does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the custodian(s] to Clients for execution and/or custodial services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a broker not recommended by Atoms. Atoms may recommend a Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and location of the Custodian's offices. Atoms does not receive research services, other products, or compensation as a result of recommending a particular broker that may result in the Client paying higher commissions than those obtainable through other brokers. If requested, Atorus considers a number of factors in selecting and/or recommending brokers and custodians for its Clients' accounts, including, but not limited to, execution capability, experience and financial stability, reputation and the quality of services provided. Atoms is not affiliated with, or related to, IS. 1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers whereby an advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with the broker in exchange for research and other services. Atorus may participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer. 2. Brokerage Referrals - Atoms does not receive any compensation from any other entity in connection with the recommendation for establishing a brokerage account. 3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a "directed brokerage basis", where Atoms will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective brokerage account[s]. Atoms will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to Atoms' own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client's account[s]). In selecting the Custodian, Atoms will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the designated Custodian. B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the broker. Atoms will execute its transactions through an unaffiliated broker-dealer. Atoms may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the same broker-dealer for multiple (discretionary) accounts. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage particular Client accounts. Item 13 - Review of Accounts A. Frequency of Reviews Accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis by Moms for adherence to investment strategy and Client Objective. Investment management and supervision over the securities contained in the Client's portfolio are performed in an ongoing basis by Atoms, as applicable.

Causes for Reviews In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least quarterly. Reviews may be conducted more or less frequently at the Client's request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client's financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client's account. The Client is encouraged to notify Atoms if changes occur in his/her personal financial situation that might adversely affect his/her investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events. C. Review Reports Investment Portfolio Reports — The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Trustee or Custodian. These brokerage statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the Custodian's website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity.

Item t5 - Custody Atoms does not accept or maintain custody of any Client accounts. All Clients must place their assets in a qualified custodian. Clients are required to select their own custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct Atoms to utilize that custodian for the Client's security transactions. For more information custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices. laser,- VS et EFTA01078454 While Atorus does not have custody of Client funds or securities, payments of fees may be paid by the custodian from the custodial brokerage account that holds Client assets. In certain jurisdictions this may be deemed constructive custody. Prior to permitting direct debit of fees each Client provides written authorization permitting fees be made direct from the custodian. Atoms will send the Client and the custodian a bill showing the amount of the fee and the way in which it was calculated. The custodian sends every Client an account statement not less than quarterly showing all account activity, including the amounts disbursed from the account to Atoms. Item 16 - Investment Discretion Discretionary Portfolio Management — Atorus generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client..

Atoms and/or the Client shall correspondingly instruct the Custodian of the assets to forward to the client copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to the client's investment assets.
