The financial stability of your trading partners is the most important factor in determining
whether to trade Over-The-Counter. Alliance maintains equity capital of approximately
$5,000,000 and has multi-million dollar settlement facilities with major banking and trading
institutions. Alliance is a member of the National Futures Association ("NFA")
and has designated NFA as its "Designated Self Regulatory Organization".
Members of self-regulatory organizations, such as the NFA or U.S. Commodity Exchanges, voluntarily
submit to more stringent financial and operational standards than non-members.
Unlike non-member firms, member firms are routinely subjected to regulatory audits and reviews.
Many aspects of a member's daily business activities are subject to extensive regulation.
In addition to these regulatory audits, Alliance submits its books, records and business activities
to an annual audit and review by an independent certified public accounting firm. Alliance's
