Kate,

My knowledge is hitting its limits in this area so I beg off slicing and
dicing the memberships. I suspect that unless you are up on all of the
nuances of various memberships, it would be best to stick with the whole
pie. My recollection is that Refco and Man were in the range of 2 times
required capital. Less than 1 and they would/should be enjoined from
operations by the CFTC.
