Dear Valued Client:
We are writing to tell you important information about your futures trading account here at Alaron Trading
Corporation (âAlaronâ). Alaron has entered into an agreement with Penson GHCO (âPensonâ), under which
Alaron has agreed to transfer all customer accounts, including yours, to Penson. This means that, while
Alaron representatives will still service your account, your account equity and positions will be carried by
Penson.
Therefore, absent written instructions from you to the contrary, Alaron will, effective December 12, 2008,
transfer all open positions, funds and other property in your account to Penson, whose place of business is
located at 600 W. Chicago, Suite 775, Chicago, Illinois 60610; telephone number (312) 356-6100.
Alaron has agreed to assign to Penson all of the rights and protections which Alaron has under your customer
agreement and other related documentation relating to your account at Alaron.
If you do not wish to have your account transferred to Penson, please instruct Alaron in writing by 5:00 pm
Central Standard Time December 11, 2008. Your options, if you do not wish to transfer, are to transfer to
another futures brokerage firm of your choosing, or to liquidate your positions and close your account.
Written instructions should be sent to Alaron Trading Corporation, 822 W. Washington Blvd., Chicago, Illinois
60607, Attention: Barry Isaacson, President, Alaron Futures & Options. Alternatively, you may fax or email
instructions to 312-563.8297 or compliance@alaron.com. If Alaron is not notified by December 11, 2008,
your account will be transferred to Penson and Alaron will continue to service your account. Of course, you
may also choose to transfer your account to another FCM at any time after December 11, 2008.
As we stated above, your account will still be serviced by Alaron and the account executive currently handling
your account will continue to do so. Our contact information has not changed. We thank you for your
continued business and support in the years to come.
If you have any questions about this transfer you may contact me at 800-563-9512.
Very truly yours,
Barry Isaacson
President, Alaron Futures and Options
