Opalesque Exclusive: Potomac` Select Series III Fund hits its stride, returns est. 13.28% in Q1 Potomac Select LLC published an estimated 13.28% return for QTR1 2008 today for its Series III Fund, and trailing 12-month returns of 22.31% through March 31, setting it apart from equity and hedge fund investing over the periods.

Potomac Portfolios LLC launched the Potomac Select Fund in July 2006 to access a diverse group of alpha-oriented commodity trading advisors and forex managers that trade the U.S. and international cash and derivatives markets for currencies, interest rates, stock indices, energies, metals, and agricultural products.
