Overview

Equinox Frontier Funds, (formerly The Frontier Fund), which is referred to in this report as “the Trust”, was formed on August 8, 2003, as a Delaware statutory trust. Please refer to the consolidated financial statements of the Trust included within this report. The Trust is a multi-advisor commodity pool, as described in Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) Regulation § 4.10(d)(2). The Trust has authority to issue separate series, (eachor each, a “Series”)Series, of units of beneficial interest (the “Units”) pursuant to the requirements of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, as amended (the “Trust Act”). The assets of each Series are valued and accounted for separately from the assets of other Series. The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). It is managed by its Managing Owner, Equinox Fund Management, LLC (the “Managing Owner”).

Purchasers of Units are limited owners of the Trust (“Limited Owners”) with respect to beneficial interests of the Series’ Units purchased. The Trust Act provides that, except as otherwise provided in the second amended and restated declaration of trust and trust agreement of the Trust dated as of December 9, 2013, by and among the Managing Owner, Wilmington Trust Company as trustee and the unitholders, as may be amended from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”), unitholders in a Delaware statutory trust will have the same limitation of liability as do stockholders of private corporations organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Trust Agreement confers substantially the same limited liability, and contains the same limited exceptions thereto, as would a limited partnership agreement for a Delaware limited partnership engaged in like transactions as the Trust. In addition, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Managing Owner of the Trust is liable for obligations of a Series in excess of that Series’ assets. Limited Owners do not have any such liability. The Managing Owner will make contributions to Series of the Trust necessary to maintain at least a 1% interest in the aggregate capital, profits and losses of all Series.

The Trust has been organized to pool assets of investor funds for the purpose of trading in the United States (“U.S.”) and international markets for currencies, interest rates, stock indices, agricultural and energy products, precious and base metals and other commodities. The Trust may also engage in futures contracts, forwards, option contracts and other interest in derivative instruments, including swap contracts (“Swaps”).

The Trust has seven (7)six (6) separate and distinct Series of Units issued and outstanding: Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Winton Series), and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), and (each a “Series��“Series” and collectively, the “Series”). The Currency Series ceased trading on April 18, 2013 and the TBG Institutional Series ceased trading on May 23, 2013. The Trust financial statements are comprised of unitized Series which are consolidated into the Trust financial statements. However, the consolidated Trust does not issue units.

The Trust, with respect to each Series:

 

engages in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forwardforwards (including interbank foreign currencies), options contracts and other derivative instruments (including swap contracts), and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions;

 

allocates funds to a limited liability trading company or companies (each, a(“Trading Company” or “Trading Company”Companies”). Except as otherwise described in these notes, each Trading Company has one-year renewable contracts with its own independent commodity trading advisor(s), (each,or each, a “Trading Advisor”)Trading Advisor, that will manage all or a portion of such Trading Company’s assets and make the trading decisions for the assets of each Series vested in such Trading Company. Each Trading Company will segregate its assets from any other Trading Company;

 

maintains separate, distinct records for each Series, and accounts for the assets of each Series separately from the other Series;

 

calculates the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of its Units for each Series separately from the other Series;

 

has an investment objective of increasing the value of each Series’ Units over the long term (capital appreciation), while controllingmanaging risk and volatility; further, to offer exposure to the investment programs of individual Trading Advisors and to specific instruments (currencies);instruments;

maintains each Series of Units in three orbetween two to six sub-classes—Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, Class 2a, Class 3, and Class 3a. Investors who have purchased Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series are charged a service fee of up to three percent (3.0%) annually of the NAV of each Unit purchased, for the benefit of selling agentsSelling Agents selling such Class 1 or Class 1a Units. The initial service fee, which is amortized monthly at an annual rate of up to three percent (3.0%) of the average daily NAV of Class 1 or Class 1a of such Series, is prepaid to the Managing Owner by each Series, and paid to the selling agents by the Managing Owner in the month following sale; provided, however, that investors who redeem all or a portion of their Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series during the first twelve (12) months following the effective date of their purchase are subject to a redemption fee of up to three percent (3.0%) of the NAV at which such investor redeemed to reimburse the Managing Owner for the then-unamortized balance of the prepaid initial service fee. With respect to Class 2 and Class 2a Units of any Series, the Managing Owner pays an ongoing service fee to selling agents of up to one half percent (0.5%) annually of the NAV of each Class 2 or Class 2a Unit (of which 0.25% will be charged to Limited Owners holding Class 2 Units of the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund (formerly Frontier Diversified Series) and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series) or Class 2a Units of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) sold until such Class 2 or Class 2a Units which are subject to the fee limitation are reclassified as Class 3 or Class 3a Units of the applicable Series. The Managing Owner may also pay Selling Agents certain additional fees and expenses for administrative and other services rendered and expenses incurred by such Selling Agents; and

With respect to Class 2 and Class 2a Units of any Series, the Managing Owner pays an ongoing service fee to Selling Agents of up to one half percent (0.5%) annually of the NAV of each Class 2 or Class 2a Unit (of which 0.25% will be charged to Limited Owners holding Class 2 Units of the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund or Class 2a Units of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund sold) until such Class 2 or Class 2a Units which are subject to the fee limitation are reclassified as Class 3 or Class 3a Units of the applicable Series. The Managing Owner may also pay Selling Agents certain additional fees and expenses for administrative and other services rendered and expenses incurred by such Selling Agents; and

 

all payments made to selling agentsSelling Agents who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and their associated persons that constitute underwriting compensation will be subject to the limitations set forth in Rule 2310(b)(4)(B)(ii) (formerly Rule 2810(b)(4)(B)(ii)) of the Conduct Rules of FINRA (“Rule 2310”). An investor’s Class 1 Units or Class 2 Units of any Series, or Class 1a Units or Class 2a Units of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) or Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) will be classified as Class 3 or Class 3a Units of such Series, as applicable, when the Managing Owner determines that the fee limitation set forth in Rule 2310 with respect to such Units has been reached or will be reached. No service fees are paid with respect to Class 3 or Class 3a Units. Units of any Class in a Series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, on a daily basis, at the then current NAV per Unit for such Series on the day of the week after the date the Managing Owner is in receipt of a redemption request for at least one (1) Business Day to be received by the Managing Owner prior to 4:00 PM in New York.

The assets of any particular Series include only those funds and other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Trust on account of and for the benefit of that Series. Under the “Inter-Series Limitation on Liability” expressly provided for under Section 3804(a) of the Trust Act, separate and distinct records of the cash and equivalents, although pooled for maximizing returns, areis maintained in the books and records of each Series.

As of December 31, 2013,2014, the total Units outstanding of each Series of the Trust was 697,932500,842 with respect to the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), 231,576139,604 with respect to the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), 359,053212,533 with respect to the Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), 973,370705,682 with respect to the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), 215,408155,534 with respect to the Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), 247,499211,024 with respect to the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Winton Series) and 132,24093,534 with respect to the Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series).Fund.

Each of the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Winton Series) and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series) has invested a portion of its assets in several different Trading Companies and havehas multiple Trading Advisors that manage the assets invested in such Trading Companies.

In November 2010, the Equinox Frontier Select Fund (formerly Frontier Select Series) invested a portion of its assets in Berkeley Quantitative Colorado Fund LLC, an unaffiliated company, managed by an affiliate of Berkeley Quantitative L.P. Through this investment, Berkeley Quantitative L.P. became a commodity trading advisor to the Series. This investment was liquidated on March 20, 2012.

During July, 2011, the Currency Series liquidated its interest in an option basket and realized a decrease in fair value greater than had previously been recorded as unrealized loss. The Managing Owner determined to make a one-time discretionary administrative adjustment by payment to the Currency Series of $390,589 to reimburse the effect of the loss on the investors in the series, exclusive of the inter-series payables’ interests, recorded in the Statements of Operations as net increase from payments by Managing Owner.

During July 2012, Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) Class 1 Units and Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) Class 1a Units ceased trading operations and all remaining Units were exchanged for Class 3 Units and Class 3a Units, respectively.

As of December 9, 2013, the Balanced Series of the Trust became known as the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, the Frontier Diversified Series of the Trust became known as the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, the Frontier Heritage Series became known as Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, the Frontier Masters Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, the Frontier Select Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Select Fund, and the Winton Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund.

Trading Advisors are responsible for the trading decisions of the respective Trading Companies for which they trade. It is expected that between 10% and 30% of each Series’ assets normally will be invested in one or more Trading Companies to be committed as margin for trading positions but from time to time these percentages may be substantially more or less. The remainder of each Series’ assets is maintained at the Trust level for cash management. Each of the respective Series has invested monies into pooled cash management assets which have included purchases of, custom time deposits, U.S. Treasury securities and credit default swaps. Each Series’ ownership in these investments is based on its percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets on the reporting date.

The Trading Advisors were selected based upon the Managing Owner’s evaluation of each Trading Advisor’s past performance, trading portfolios and strategies, as well as how each Trading Advisor’s performance, portfolio and strategies complement and differ from those of the other Trading Advisors. As of December 31, 2013,2014, none of the Trading Advisors or any of their principals had any beneficial interest in the Trust, but any of them are free to acquire such beneficial interest.

Equinox Fund Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed in June 2003, is the managing owner of the Trust (the “Managing Owner”). The Managing Owner became registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator (“CPO”), as of August 6, 2003, and has been a member of the National Futures Association (the “NFA”) in such capacity since that date. The Managing Owner’s main business office is located at 1775 Sherman Street, Suite 2500, Denver, Colorado 80203, telephone (303) 837-0600. A description of the Managing Owner’s responsibilities to the Trust is contained in a

Prospectus dated April 30, 2013,2014, filed with the SEC on May 2, 20137, 2014 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (File No. 333-185695), which is referred to herein as the “Prospectus,” under the section captioned “The Managing Owner,” and such description is incorporated herein by reference from the Prospectus.

Regulation

Under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, (the “Commodity Exchange Act”) commodity exchanges and commodity futures trading are subject to regulation by the CFTC. The NFA, a registered futures association under the Commodity Exchange Act, is the only non-exchange self-regulatory organization for commodity industry professionals. The CFTC has delegated responsibility to the NFA for the registration of “commodity trading advisors,” “commodity pool operators,” “futures commission merchants,” “introducing brokers” and their respective “associated persons” and “floor brokers.” The Commodity Exchange Act requires “commodity pool operators,” such as the Managing Owner, “commodity trading advisors,” and commodity brokers or “futures commission merchants,” such as the Trust’s commodity brokers, to be registered and to comply with various reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The Managing Owner and the Trust’s commodity brokers are members of the NFA. The CFTC may suspend a commodity pool operator’s or a commodity trading advisor’s registration if it finds that its trading practices tend to disrupt orderly market conditions, or as the result of violations of the Commodity Exchange Act or rules and regulations promulgated there under.thereunder. In the event that the Managing Owner’s registration as a commodity pool operator were terminated or suspended, the Managing Owner would be unable to continue to manage the business of the Trust. Should the Managing Owner’s registration be suspended, termination of the Trust may result.

In addition to such registration requirements, the CFTC and certain commodity exchanges have established limits on the maximum net long and net short positions that any person, including the Trust, may hold or control in particular commodities. Most exchanges also limit the maximum changes in futures contract prices that may occur during a single trading day. The Trust also trades in dealer markets for forward and swap contracts, which are not regulated by the CFTC. Federal and state banking authorities also do not regulate forward trading or forward dealers. In addition, the Trust trades on foreign commodity exchanges, which are not subject to regulation by any U.S. government agency.

Operations

A description of the business of the Trust, including trading approaches for each Series of Units, rights and obligations of the limited owners, compensation arrangements and fees and expenses is contained in the Prospectus, under the sections captioned “Risk Disclosure Statement,” “Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Equinox Funds Trust,” “The Offering,” “Trading Limitations, Policies and Swaps,” “The Trustee,” “The Managing Owner,” “Actual and Potential Conflicts of Interest,” “Fees and Expenses” and the appendix attached to the Prospectus for each Series of Units, and such description is incorporated herein by reference from the Prospectus.

The Trading Companies for each Series of Units engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forwardforwards (including interbank foreign currencies) and, options contracts and other derivative instruments (including Swaps) and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions. A brief description of the Trust’s main types of investments is set forth below:

 

A futures contract is a standardized contract traded on an exchange that calls for the future delivery of a specified quantity of a commodity at a specified time and place.

 

A forward contract is an individually negotiated contract between principals, not traded on an exchange, to buy or sell a specified quantity of a commodity at or before a specified date at a specified price.

 

An option on a futures contract, forward contract or a commodity gives the buyer of the option the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a futures contract, forward contract or a commodity, as applicable, at a specified price on or before a specified date. Options on futures contracts are standardized contracts traded on an exchange, while options on forward contracts and commodities, referred to collectively in this prospectus as over-the-counter options, generally are individually negotiated, principal-to-principal contracts not traded on an exchange.

 

A swap contract generally involves an exchange of a stream of payments between the contracting parties. Swap contracts generally are not uniform and not exchange-traded.

Certain of the Trading Companies have entered into contractual arrangements with independent commodity trading advisors that will manage all or a portion of such Trading Company’s assets and make the trading decisions with respect to the assets of such Trading Company.

Selection and Replacement of Trading Advisors

The managing owner is ultimately responsible for the selection, retention and termination of the trading advisors and swap reference trading programs on behalf of each series. The Bornhoft Group Corporation, pursuant to the terms of an administrative services agreement, provides recommendations to the managing owner regarding the selection, retention and termination of trading advisors and swap reference trading programs. The actual allocation among trading advisors for each series will vary based upon the relative trading

performance of the trading advisors and/or reference programs, and the managing owner may otherwise vary such percentages from time to time in its sole discretion. The managing owner in consultation with The Bornhoft Group Corporation, will adjust its allocations and rebalance the portfolio of any series among trading advisors to maintain weightings that it believes will most likely achieve capital growth within the investment guidelines of the relevant series.

The Bornhoft Group Corporationmanaging owner utilizes certain quantitative and qualitative analysis in connection with the identification, evaluation and selection of the trading advisors. The Bornhoft Group Corporation’smanaging owner’s proprietary and commercial analytical software programs and comprehensive trading advisor database provide the quantitative basis for the trading advisor selection, portfolio implementation process, and ongoing risk management, monitoring, and review.

In 1983, Richard Bornhoft, the principalsChief Investment Officer of The Bornhoft Group Corporationthe managing owner, began compiling itsa proprietary database of the leading United States and internationally based alternative investment programs. Trading advisors are monitored and performance data is entered on a daily, monthly, quarterly or bi-annual basis according to internal ranking systems.

The Bornhoft Group Corporation’smanaging owner’s research department is continually refining ways to assimilate vast amounts of trading advisor performance data and due-diligence information. The proprietary and commercial database of alternative investment programs is always increasing. Research team members regularly interact with trading advisors throughout the due diligence and monitoring process. Only those programs that have met strict quantitative and qualitative review are considered as potential managers of client assets.

Following is a summary of the quantitative and qualitative analysis:

Quantitative Analysis

The Bornhoft Group Corporation’smanaging owner’s analytical software system applies a variety of statistical measures towards the evaluation of current and historical advisor performance data. Statistical measures include but are not limited to: (1) risk/reward analysis, (2) time window analysis, (3) risk analysis, (4) correlation analysis, (5) statistical overlays and (6) performance cycle analysis.

Qualitative Analysis

Although quantitative analysis statistically identifies the top performing trading advisors, qualitative analysis plays a major role in the trading advisor evaluation and final selection process. Each trading advisor in The Bornhoft Group Corporation’sthe managing owner’s top dociledecile universe initially undergoes extensive qualitative review by The Bornhoft Group Corporation’sthe managing owner’s research department, as well as continual monitoring. This analysis generally includes, but is not limited to: (1) preliminary information and due diligence, (2) background review, (3) onsite due diligence, (4) extensive due diligence questionnaires and (5) written review and periodic updates. This information allows a thorough review of each trading advisor’s trading philosophy, trading systems and corporate structure.

Multi-Manager Approach

A multi-manager approach to portfolio management provides diversification of trading advisors and access to broader global markets. Multiple trading advisors can provide diversification across trading methodologies, trading time horizons, and markets traded. Additionally, multi-manager portfolios tend to provide a greater level of professional management with ongoing risk management and review. The result can be more consistent returns with lower volatility.

Item 1A.RISK FACTORS.

The Trust is a venture in a high-risk business. An investment in the Units of each Series is very speculative. You should make an investment in one or more of the Series only after consulting with independent, qualified sources of investment and tax advice and only if your financial condition will permit you to bear the risk of a total loss of your investment. You should consider an investment in the Units only as a long-term investment. Moreover, to evaluate the risks of this investment properly, you must familiarize yourself with the relevant terms and concepts relating to commodities trading and the regulation of commodities trading, which are discussed in the Prospectus in the Statement of Additional Information below, in the section captioned “The Futures Markets,” which is incorporated herein by reference.

You should carefully consider all the information we have included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K and our subsequent periodic filings with the SEC. In particular, you should carefully consider the risk factors described below and read the risks and uncertainties as set forth in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” Section of this Form 10-K. Any of the following risks and uncertainties could materially adversely affect the Trust, its trading activities, operating results, financial condition and NAV and therefore could negatively impact the value of your investment. The information contained herein does not constitute investment, legal or tax advice. You should not invest in the Units unless you can afford to lose all of your investment.

Market Risks

The commodity interest markets in which the Trading Advisors trade are highly volatile, which could cause substantial losses and may cause you to lose your entire investment.

Commodity interest contracts are highly volatile and are subject to occasional rapid and substantial fluctuations. Consequently, you could lose all or substantially all of your investment in the Units of any Series should such Series’ trading positions suddenly turn unprofitable. The profitability of any Series depends primarily on the ability of its Trading Advisor(s) to predict these fluctuations accurately. Price movements for commodity interests are influenced by, among other things:

 

changes in interest rates;

 

governmental, agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies;

 

weather and climate conditions;

 

natural disasters, such as hurricanes;

 

changing supply and demand relationships;

 

changes in balances of payments and trade;

 

U.S. and international rates of inflation;

 

currency devaluations and revaluations;

 

U.S. and international political and economic events; and

 

changes in philosophies and emotions of market participants.

The Trading Advisors’ technical trading methods may not take account of these factors except as they may be reflected in the technical input data analyzed by the Trading Advisors.

In addition, governments from time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, often with the intent to influence prices directly. The effects of governmental intervention may be particularly significant at certain times in the financial instrument and currency markets, and this intervention may cause these markets to move rapidly.

Futures, forward and options trading is volatile and may cause large losses.

A principal risk in futures, forward and options trading is volatile performance. Because the trading decisions for the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Winton Series) will be made by a single Trading Advisor, the trading for Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Winton Series) is similar to a single advisor fund in which one trading advisor makes all the trading decisions. In single advisor funds, volatility may increase as compared to a fund with several trading advisors who, collectively, can diversify risk to a greater extent (assuming those advisors are non-correlated with each other).

Options trading can be more volatile and expensive than futures trading and may cause large losses.trading.

Certain Trading Advisors may trade options on futures. Although successful options trading requirerequires many of the same skills as successful futures trading, the risks involved are somewhat different. For example, the assessment ofSuccessful options trading requires a trader to accurately assess near-term market volatility—whichvolatility because that volatility is directlyimmediately reflected in the price of outstanding options—options. Correct assessment of market volatility can therefore be of much greater significance in trading options than it is in many long-term futures strategies. If market volatility is incorrectly predicted, the use of options can be extremely expensive.

The Trading Advisors’ trading is subject to execution risks.

Although each Series generally will purchase and sell actively traded contracts, orders may not be executed at or near the desired price, particularly in thinly traded markets, in markets that lack trading liquidity, or because of applicable “daily price fluctuation limits,” “speculative position limits” or market disruptions. If market illiquidity or disruptions occur, then major losses could result.

Futures Interests trading is speculative and volatile.

The rapid fluctuations in the market prices of futures, forwards, and options make an investment in any of the series volatile. Volatility is caused by, among other things: changes in supply and demand relationships; weather; agriculture, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs; domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies; and changes in interest rates. The Trading Advisors’ technical trading methods may not take account of these factors except as they may be reflected in the technical input data analyzed by the trading advisors. In addition, governments from time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, often with the intent to influence prices directly. The effects of governmental intervention may be particularly significant at certain times in the financial instrument and currency markets, and this intervention may cause these markets to move rapidly.

Each Series’ performance will be volatile, and a Series could lose all or substantially all of its assets. The multi-advisor feature of each Series, except for Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, may reduce the return volatility relative of the performance of single-advisor investment funds.

Options are volatile and inherently leveraged, and sharp movements in prices could cause the Trust to incur large losses.

Certain Trading Advisors may trade options on futures. Although successful options trading requires many of the same skills as successful futures trading, the risks involved are somewhat different. Successful options trading requires a trader to accurately assess near-term market volatility, because that volatility is immediately reflected in the price of outstanding options. Correct assessment of market volatility can therefore be of much greater significance in trading options than it is in many long-term futures strategies. If market volatility is incorrectly predicted, the use of options can be extremely expensive.

Exchanges of futures for physicals may adversely affect performance.

Certain Trading Advisors may engage in exchanges of futures for physicals for client accounts. An exchange of futures for physicals is a transaction permitted under the rules of many futures exchanges in which two parties holding futures positions may close out their positions without making an open, competitive trade on the exchange. Generally, the holder of a short futures position buys the physical commodity, while the holder of a long futures position sells the physical commodity. The prices at which such transactions are executed are negotiated between the parties. If a Trading Advisor engaging in exchanges of futures for physicals were prevented from such trading as a result of regulatory changes, the performance of client accounts of such Trading Advisor could be adversely affected.

Cash flow needs may cause positions to be closed which may cause substantial losses.

Certain Trading Advisors may trade options on futures. Options on futuresFutures contract gains and losses are marked-to-market daily for purposes of determining margin requirements. Option positions generally are not marked-to-market daily, although short option positions will require additional margin if the market moves against the position. Due to these differences in margin treatment between futures and options, there may be periods in which positions on both sides must be closed down prematurely due to short term cash flow needs. If this occurs during an adverse move in a spread or straddle relationship, then a substantial loss could occur.

The Trading Companies and Trust may enter into Swap and similar transactions which may create risks.

Swaps are not traded on exchanges and are not subject to the same type of government regulation as exchange markets. As a result, many of the protections afforded to participants on organized exchanges and in a regulated environment are not available in connection with these transactions.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, will affect the manner in which OTC swap transactions are traded and the credit risk associated with such trading. Any changes will likely impact the way swaps are traded and could impact the trading strategy of the trust, as well as make it more expensive to trade swaps.

There are no limitations on daily price movements in swaps. Speculative position limits are not applicable to swaps, although the counterparties to swaps may limit the size or duration of positions as a consequence of credit considerations. Participants in the swap markets are not required to make continuous markets in the swaps they trade. Participants could refuse to quote prices for swaps or quote prices with an unusually wide spread between the price at which they are prepared to buy and the price at which they are prepared to sell. In the case of any swap that references a fund or program managed by a trading advisor, certain or all of the risks disclosed in this report in relation to the trading advisors also may apply, indirectly, in relation to the relevant series’ investment in such swap.

The trading on behalf of each Series will be margined, which means that sharp declines in prices could lead to large losses.

Because the amount of margin funds necessary to be deposited with a futures clearing broker to enter into a futures, forward contract or option position is typically about 2% to 10% of the total value of the contract, each Trading Advisor may take positions on behalf of a Series with face values equal to several times such Series’ NAV. These low margin requirements provide a large amount of leverage. As a result of margining, even a small movement in the price of a contract can cause major losses. Any purchase or sale of a futures or forward contract or option position may result in losses that substantially exceed the amount invested. If severe short-term price declines occur, such declines could force the liquidation of open positions with large losses. Margin is normally monitored through the margin-to-equity ratio employed by each trading advisor. Under normal circumstances, the Trading Advisors will vary between a 10% to 30% margin-to-equity ratio. In addition, OTC transactions present risks in addition to those associated with exchange-traded contracts, as discussed immediately below.

OTC transactions are subject to little, if any, regulation and may be subject to the risk of counterparty default.

A portion of each Series’ assets may be used to trade OTC derivative contracts, such as forward contracts, option contracts, or swaps, or spot contracts. OTC contracts are typically traded on a principal-to-principal basis through dealer markets that are dominated by major money center and investment banks and other institutions and are essentially unregulated by the CFTC. You therefore do not receive the protection of CFTC regulation or the statutory scheme of the Commodity Exchange Act in connection with this trading activity. The markets for OTC contracts rely upon the integrity of market participants in lieu of the additional regulation imposed by the CFTC on participants in the futures markets. The lack of regulation in these markets could expose a Series in certain circumstances to significant losses in the event of trading abuses or financial failure by participants.

Each Series also faces the risk of non-performance by the counterparties to the OTC contracts. Unlike in futures contracts, the counterparty to these contracts is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a clearing organization backed by a group of financial institutions. As a result, there will be greater counterparty credit risk in these transactions. The clearing member, clearing organization or other counterparty may not be able to meet its obligations, in which case the applicable Series could suffer significant losses on these contracts.

The Dodd-Frank Act will affect the manner in which OTC swap transactions are traded and the credit risk associated with such trading. Depending upon actions taken by regulatory authorities, these changes may also affect the manner of trading of OTC foreign currency transactions. Transactions that have been entered into prior to implementation of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will remain in effect. Accordingly, even after the new regulatory framework is fully implemented, the risks of OTC foreign exchange transactions will continue to exist with respect to transactions entered into prior to the implementation of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Additionally, any changes will likely impact the way swaps are traded and could impact the trading strategy of the trust, as well as make it more expensive to trade swaps.

Foreign markets are less regulated than U.S. markets and are subject to exchange rate, market practices, and political risks.

A substantial portion of the Trading Advisors’ trades are expected to take place on markets or exchanges outside the United States. There is no limit to the amount of assets of any Series that may be committed to trading on foreign markets. Foreign trading involves risks—including exchange rate exposure, possible governmental intervention, and lack of regulation—which U.S. trading does not. In addition, the Trading Advisors may not have the same access to certain positions on foreign exchanges as do local traders, and the historical market data on which the Trust’s Trading Advisors base their strategies may not be as reliable or accessible as it is in the United States. Certain foreign exchanges may also be in a more or less developmental stage so that prior price histories may not be indicative of current price dynamics. The rights of traders or investors in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of a non-U.S. market or broker are also likely to be more limited than in the case of U.S. markets or brokers.

Additionally, trading on U.S. exchanges is subject to CFTC regulation and oversight, including for example, minimum capital requirements for commodity brokers, regulation of trading practices on the exchanges, prohibitions against trading ahead of customer orders, prohibitions against filling orders off exchanges, prescribed risk disclosure statements, testing and licensing of industry sales personnel and other industry professionals, and record keeping requirements. Trading on non-U.S. exchanges is not regulated by the CFTC or any other U.S. governmental agency or instrumentality, and may be subject to regulations that are different or less rigorously enforced than those to which U.S. exchange trading is subject.

Assets Held in Accounts at U.S. Banks May Not Be Fully Insured.

The assets of each trading company that are deposited with commodity brokers or their affiliates may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures deposit accounts at insured banks for up to $250,000 for each accountholder, and, if the funds in a singlean account can be traced back to multiple individual beneficiaries,co-owners, then each beneficiary isco-owner may be entitled to $250,000 in coverage. This amount of deposit insurance coverage was made permanent by the Dodd-Frank Act. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act provided temporary, unlimited deposit insurance for all non-interest bearing transaction accounts at FDIC-insured depository institutions. Under this provision of the Dodd-Frank Act, non-interest bearing transaction accounts were fully insured, without limit, from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. A non-interest bearing transaction account includes non-interest bearing demand deposit (or checking) accounts that allow for an unlimited number of deposits and withdrawals at any time, whether held by a business, an individual or other type of depositor. However, when this provision of the Dodd-Frank Act expired on January 1, 2013, all of a depositor’s accounts at an insured depository institution, including all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, were insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount ($250,000), for each deposit insurance ownership category. Uninsured depositors also may receive funds in the event of a receivership of the bank holding the deposit accounts, but uninsured depositors have a lower priority in respect of payment than insured depositors or certain other creditors, and frequently there are insufficient funds in a receivership estate to pay off uninsured depositors fully.fully or at all. If the FDIC were to become receiver of aan insured U.S. bank holding deposit accounts that were established by a commodity broker or one of its affiliates, then it is uncertain whether the commodity broker, the affiliate involved, the trading company, the Series involved, or the investor would be able to reclaim cash in the deposit accounts in the full amount.

Your investment could be illiquid.

A Trading Advisor may not always be able to liquidate its commodity interest positions at the desired time or price. It is difficult to execute a trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders in a market. A market disruption, such as a foreign government taking political actions that disrupt the market in its currency or in a major export, can also make it difficult to liquidate a position. Alternatively, limits imposed by futures exchanges or other regulatory organizations, such as speculative position limits and daily price fluctuation limits, may contribute to a lack of liquidity with respect to some commodity interests. Also, thereThere is not likely to be ano secondary market for the Units.Units and none is expected to develop.

Certain Restrictions on Redemption and Transfer of the Units Will Apply.

Investors may redeem units daily on one business day notice, but certain restrictions on redemption and transfer will apply. For example, if you invest in Class 1 or 1a Units and redeem all or a portion of such Units on or before the end of the 12 full months following the purchase of such Units, you will be charged a redemption fee of up to 2.0% of the purchase price of any such units being redeemed. Also, transfers of Units are permitted only with the prior written consent of the managing owner and provided that conditions specified in the trust agreement are satisfied. There is no secondary market for the Units and none is expected to develop.

Redemptions may be temporarily suspended.

The Managing Owner may temporarily suspend temporarily any redemptionredemptions for some or all of the Series for up to 30 days if the effect of theany redemption, either alone or in conjunction with other redemptions, would be to impair the Trust’s ability to operate in pursuit of its objectives (for example, if the Managing Owner believes a redemption, if allowed, would materially advantage one investor over another investor). The Managing Owner anticipates suspending redemptions only under extreme circumstances, such as a natural disaster, force majeure, act of war, terrorism or other event which results in the closure of financial markets. During any suspension of redemptions, a redeeming Limited Owner invested in a Series for which redemptions were suspended would remain subject to market risk with respect to such Series.

An investment in Units may not diversify an overall portfolio.

Historically, managed futures have performed in a manner largely independent from the general equity and debt markets. If, however, a Series does not perform in a non-correlated manner with respect to the general financial markets or does not perform successfully, you will obtain little or no diversification benefits by investing in the Units. An investment in any Series of the Trust could increase, rather than reduce your overall portfolio losses during periods when the Trust and the equity and debt markets decline in value. There is no way of predicting whether the Trust will lose more or less than stocks and bonds in declining markets. You should therefore not consider the Units to be a hedge against losses in your core stock and bond portfolios. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Trading Risks

There are disadvantages to making trading decisions based on technical analysis.

MostMany of the Trading Advisors except certain Trading Advisors trading for the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) may base their trading decisions on trading strategies that use mathematical analyses of technical factors relating to past market performance.performance rather than fundamental analysis. The buy and sell signals generated by a technical, trend-following trading strategy are derived from a study of actual daily, weekly and monthly price fluctuations, volume variations and changes in open interest in the markets. The profitability of any technical, trend-following trading strategy depends upon the occurrence in the future of significant, sustained price moves in some of the markets traded. A danger for trend-following traders is whip-saw markets,

that is, markets in which a potential price trend may start to develop but reverses before an actual trend is realized. A pattern of false starts may generate repeated entry and exit signals in technical systems, resulting in unprofitable transactions. In the past, there have been prolonged periods without sustained price moves. Presumably these periods will continue to occur. Periods without sustained price moves may produce substantial losses for trend-following trading strategies. Further, any factor that may lessen the prospect of these types of moves in the future, such as increased governmental control of, or participation in, the relevant markets, may reduce the prospect that any trend- following trading strategy will be profitable in the future.

There are disadvantages to making trading decisions based on fundamental analysis.

Certain Trading Advisors will base their decisions on trading strategies which utilize in whole or in part fundamental analysis of underlying market forces. Fundamental analysis attempts to examine factors external to the trading market which affect the supply and demand for a particular commodity interest in order to predict future prices. Such analysis may not result in profitable trading because certain Trading Advisors may not have knowledge of all factors affecting supply and demand or may incorrectly interpret the information they do have. Furthermore, prices may often be affected by unrelated or unexpected factors and fundamental analysis may not enable the Trading Advisor to determine whether its previous decisions were incorrect in sufficient time to avoid substantial losses. In addition, fundamental analysis assumes that commodity markets are inefficient—i.e., that commodity prices do not always reflect all available information—which some market analysts dispute.

Increased competition from other trend-followingsystematic traders could reduce the Trading Advisors’ profitability.

There has been a dramatic increase over the past 15 to 25 years in the amount of assets managed by trend-followingpursuant to trading systems like those that some of the Trading Advisors may employ. This means increased trading competition among a larger number of market

participants for transactions at favorable prices, which could operate to the detriment of some or all Series by preventing the Trading Advisors from effecting transactions at the desired prices. It may become more difficult for the Trading Advisors to implement their trading strategies if other commodity trading advisors using technical systems are also attempting to initiate or liquidate commodity interest positions at the same time as the Trading Advisors. The more competition there is for the same positions, the more costly and harder they will be to acquire.

Discretionary decision-making may result in missed opportunities or losses.

Because each of the Trading Advisors’ strategies involves some discretionary aspects in addition to theiranalysis of technical factors, certain Trading Advisors may occasionally use discretion in investing the assets of a Series. For example, the Trading Advisors often use discretion in selecting contracts and markets to be followed. In exercising such discretion, such Trading Advisor may take positions opposite to those recommended by the Trading Advisor’s trading system or signals. Discretionary decision making may also result in a Trading Advisor’s failing to capitalize on certain price trends or making unprofitable trades in a situation where another trader relying solely on a systematic approach might not have done so. Furthermore, such use of discretion may not enable the Series to avoid losses, and in fact, such use of discretion may cause the Series to forego profits which it may have otherwise earned had such discretion not been used.

The Trading Companies are subject to speculative position limits.

The CFTC and U.S. futures exchanges have established “speculativespeculative position limits (referred to as “position limits”) on the maximum net long or net short position which any person or group of persons may hold or control in particular futures and options on futures and swaps that perform a significant price discovery function.futures. Most exchanges also limit the amount of fluctuation in commodity futurefutures contract prices on a single trading day. The trading instructions of theTherefore, a Trading AdvisorsAdvisor may have to be modified, andmodify its trading instructions or reduce the size of its positions held by the Trading Companies may have to be liquidatedin one or more futures or options contracts in order to avoid exceeding these limits. Such modification or liquidationsuch position limits, which could adversely affect the operations and profitability of the Trading Companies by increasing transaction costs to liquidate positions and limiting potential profits onCompanies. The futures exchange may amend or adjust these position limits or the liquidated positions.interpretation of how such limits are applied, adversely affecting the profitability of the Trading Companies.

In addition, in October 2011, the CFTC adopted new rules governing position limits.limits on futures (and options on futures) on a number of agricultural, energy and metals commodities, as well as on swaps that perform a significant price discovery function with respect to those futures and options. In September 2012, thesethe CFTC’s rules were vacated by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and remanded to the CFTC for further consideration. The CFTC proposed revised position limits rules late in 2013. The comment period for the rules closed in February 2014, and the CFTC subsequently reopened comment periods for comments about certain issues related to futures and options contracts on agricultural commodities only. Those comment periods have also closed. The comment period for the rules has closed, and the date for the CFTC’s final rules is unknown. It is possible nevertheless, that these rules may take effect in some form via re-promulgation or a successful appeal by the CFTC of the District Court’s ruling. The vacated rules established position limits on certain futures contracts and any economically equivalent futures, options and swaps. Theseform. If so, these rules could have an adverse effect on the Trading AdvisorsAdvisors’ trading for the Trading Companies.

Increases in assets under management of any of the Trading Advisors could lead to diminished returns.

We believe that none of the Trading Advisors intends to limit the amount of additional equity that it may manage, and each will continue to seek major new accounts. However, the rates of returns achieved by a Trading Advisor often diminish as the assets under its management increase. This can occur for many reasons, including the inability of the Trading Advisor to execute larger position sizes at desired prices and because of the need to adjust the Trading Advisor’s trading program to avoid exceeding speculative position limits. These limits are established by the CFTC and the exchanges on the number of speculative futures and options contracts in a commodity that one trader may own or control. Furthermore, if the Trading Advisors for a Series cannot manage any additional allocation from the Trust, the Managing Owner may add additional Trading Advisors for such Series who may have less experience or less favorable performance than the existing Trading Advisors.

The use of multiple Trading Advisors may result in offsetting or opposing trading positions and may also require one Trading Advisor to fund the margin requirements of another Trading Advisor.

The use of multiple Trading Advisors for the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) may result in developments or positions that adversely affect the respective Series’ NAV. For example, because the Trading Advisors trading for the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) will be acting independently, such Series could buy and sell the same futures contract, thereby incurring additional expenses but with no net change in its holdings. The Trading Advisors also may compete, from time to time, for the same trades or other transactions, increasing the cost to such Series of making trades or transactions or causing some of them to be foregone altogether. Even though the margin requirements resulting from each Trading Advisor’s trading for any such Series ordinarily will be met from that Trading Advisor’s allocated net assets of such Series, a Trading Advisor for the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), or Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) may incur losses of such magnitude that such Series is unable to meet margin calls from the allocated net assets of that Trading Advisor. If losses of such magnitude were to occur, the Clearing Brokers for the Trading Company or Trading Companies in which such Series invests its assets may require liquidations and contributions from the allocated net assets of another Trading Advisor for such Series.

The Trading Advisors’ trading programs bear some similarities and, therefore, may lessen the benefits to the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerlyEquinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series)Diversified Fund and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund of having multiple Trading Advisors.

Each Trading Advisor has, over time, developed and modified the program it will use in trading. Nevertheless, the Trading Advisors’ trading programs have some similarities. These similarities may, in fact, mitigate the positive effect of having multiple Trading Advisors for the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series).Fund. For example, in periods where one Trading Advisor experiences a draw-down, it is possible that these similarities will cause the other Trading Advisors to also experience a draw-down.

Each Series relies on its Trading Advisor(s) for success, and if a Trading Advisor’s trading is unsuccessful, the Series may incur losses.

The Trading Advisor(s) for each Series will make the commodity trading decisions for that Series. Therefore, the success of each Series largely depends on the judgment and ability of the Trading Advisors. A Trading Advisor’s trading for any Series may not prove successful under all or any market conditions. If a Trading Advisor’s trading is unsuccessful, the applicable Series may incur losses. Similarly, the success of each Series that invests in swaps largely depends on the judgment and ability of the commodity trading advisors whose trading programs are referenced by swaps in which such Series invests.

There are disadvantages associated with terminating or replacing Trading Advisors.

A Trading Advisor generally is required to recoup previous trading losses before it can earn performance-based compensation. However, the Managing Owner may elect to replace a Trading Advisor that has a “loss carryforward.” In that case, the Trust would lose the “free ride” of any potential recoupment of the prior losses of such Trading Advisor. In addition, the new Trading Advisor would earn the same type of performance-based compensation on the first dollars of investment profits.

It is also possible that (i) the advisory agreement with any Trading Advisor, once it expires, will not be renewed on the same terms as the current advisory agreement for that Trading Advisor, (ii) if assets of any Series allocated to a particular Trading Advisor are reallocated to a new or different Trading Advisor, the new or different Trading Advisor will not manage the assets on terms as favorable to the Series as those negotiated with the previous Trading Advisor, (iii) the addition of a new Trading Advisor and/or the removal of one of the current Trading Advisors may cause disruptions in trading as assets are reallocated or (iv) the services of a

replacement trading advisor may not be available. There is severe competition for the services of qualified trading advisors, and the Managing Owner may not be able to retain replacement or additional trading advisors on acceptable terms. The effect of the replacement of, or the reallocation of assets away, from a Trading Advisor therefore could be significant.

Each Trading Advisor advises other clients and may achieve more favorable results for its other accounts.

Each of the Trading Advisors currently manages other trading accounts, and each will remain free to manage additional accounts, including its own accounts, in the future. A Trading Advisor may vary the trading strategies applicable to the Series for which it trades from those used for its other managed accounts, or its other managed accounts may impose a different cost structure than that of the Series for which it trades. Consequently, the results any Trading Advisor achieves for the Series for which it trades may not be similar to those achieved for other accounts managed by the Trading Advisor or its affiliates at the same time. Moreover, it is possible that those other accounts managed by the Trading Advisor or its affiliates may compete with the Series for which it trades for the same or similar positions in the commodity interest markets and that those other accounts may make trades at better prices than the Series for which it trades.

A Trading Advisor may also have a financial incentive to favor other accounts because the compensation received from those other accounts exceeds, or may in the future exceed, the compensation that it receives from managing the account of the Series for which it trades. Because records with respect to other accounts are not accessible to investors in the Units, investors will not be able to determine if any Trading Advisor is favoring other accounts.

The Trading Advisors’ positions may be concentrated from time to time, which may render each Series susceptible to larger losses than if the positions were more diversified.

One or more of the Trading Advisors may from time to time cause a Series to hold a few, relatively large positions in relation to its assets. Consequently, a loss in any such position could result in a proportionately greater loss to such Series than if suchthe Series’ assets had been spread among a wider number of instruments.

Markets or positions may be correlated and may expose a Series to significant risk of loss.

Different markets traded or individual positions held by a Series of Units may be highly correlated to one another at times. Accordingly, a significant change in one such market or position may affect other such markets or positions. The Trading Advisors

cannot always predict correlation. Correlation may expose such Series of Units both to significant risk of loss and significant potential for profit.

Turnover in each Series’ portfolio may be high which could result in higher brokerage commissions and transaction fees and expenses.

Each Trading Advisor will make certain trading decisions on the basis of short-term market considerations. The portfolio turnover rate may be substantial at times, either due to such decisions or to market conditions, and this could result in one or more Series incurring substantial brokerage commissions and other transaction fees and expenses.

The Trust will have counterparty risk to U.S. Bank.Stop-loss Orders May Not Prevent Large Losses.

EachCertain of the Trading CompaniesAdvisors may use stop-loss orders. Such stop-loss orders may not effectively prevent substantial losses, and depending on market factors at the time, may not be able to be executed at such stop-loss levels. No risk control technique can assure that large losses will be avoided.

Trading Swaps Creates Distinctive Risks.

The series may trade in certain swaps. Unlike futures and options on futures contracts, most swap contracts currently holds substantiallyare not traded on or cleared by an exchange or clearinghouse. The CFTC currently requires only a limited class of swap contracts (certain interest rate and credit default swaps) to be cleared and executed on an exchange or other organized trading platform. In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFTC will determine in the future which other classes of swap contracts will be required to be cleared and executed on an exchange or other organized trading platform. Until such time as these transactions are cleared, the series will be subject to a greater risk of counterparty default on its swaps. Because swaps do not generally involve the delivery of underlying assets or principal, the amount payable upon default and early termination is usually calculated by reference to the current market value of the contract. Swap dealers and major swap participants require the series to deposit initial margin and variation margin as collateral to support such series’ obligation under the swap agreement but may not themselves provide collateral for the benefit of any series. If the counterparty to such a swap defaults, the series would be a general unsecured creditor for any termination amounts owed by the counterparty to the series as well as for any collateral deposits in excess of the amounts owed by the series to the counterparty, which would result in losses to the series.

There are no limitations on daily price movements in swaps. Speculative position limits are not currently applicable to swaps, but in the future may be applicable for swaps on certain commodities. In addition, participants in the swap markets are not required to make continuous markets in the swaps they trade, and determining a market value for calculation of termination amounts can lead to uncertain results.

Trading of swaps has been and will continue to be subject to substantial change under the Dodd-Frank Act and related regulatory action. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, many commodity swaps will be required to be cleared through central clearing parties and executed on exchanges or other organized trading platforms. Security-based swaps will be subject to similar requirements. Additional regulatory requirements will apply to all cash depositsswaps, whether subject to mandatory clearing or not. These include margin, collateral and capital requirements, reporting obligations, speculative position limits for certain swaps, and other regulatory requirements. Swaps which are not usedoffered for margin withclearing by a clearinghouse will continue to be traded bi-laterally. Such bi-lateral transactions will remain subject to many of the risks discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

Swap counterparties may hold collateral in U.S. Bank, although the Managing Owner may chooseor non-U.S. depositories. Non-U.S. depositories are not subject to hold the Trading Companies’ cash at other banksU.S. regulation. The series’ assets held in its sole discretion. Because all cash deposits not used for marginthese depositories are currently held at U.S. Bank, the Trust is subject to the risk that events could occur which would hinder or prevent the availability of these funds for distribution to customers, including the series. Such events may include actions by the government of the jurisdiction in which the depository is located including expropriation, taxation, moratoria and political or diplomatic events.

The Unregulated Nature of Uncleared Trades in the OTC Markets Creates Counterparty Risks that Do Not Exist in Futures Trading on Exchanges or in Cleared Swaps.

Unlike futures contracts and cleared swaps, uncleared trades, such as forward contracts, some swaps and some OTC “spot” contracts, are entered into between private parties off an exchange or other trading platform and are not subject to clearing. As a result, the performance of those contracts is not guaranteed by an exchange or its clearinghouse and the series is at risk with respect to the ability of the counterparty to perform on the contract, including the creditworthiness of the counterparty. Trading of foreign exchange spot contracts of foreign exchange forwards and foreign exchange swaps (as such terms are defined in the Dodd-Frank Act), and of uncleared swaps is not regulated or is subject to limited regulation; therefore, there are limited or no specific standards or regulatory supervision of trade pricing and other trading activities that occur in those markets.

Foreign Currency and Spot Contracts Historically Were Not Regulated When Traded Between Certain “Eligible Contract Participants” and Are Subject to Credit Risk.

Each series may trade forward contracts in foreign currencies and may engage in spot commodity transactions (transactions in physical commodities). These contracts, unlike futures contracts and options on futures, historically were not regulated by the CFTC when traded between certain “eligible contract participants,” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act. On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law major financial services reform legislation in the form of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act includes foreign currency forwards and foreign currency swaps (as such terms are defined in the Dodd-Frank Act) in the definition of “swap.” The CFTC has been granted authority to regulate all swaps, but grants the U.S. BankTreasury Department the discretion to exempt foreign currency forwards and foreign currency swaps from all aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act other than reporting, recordkeeping and business conduct rules for swap dealers and major swap participants. In November 2012, Treasury determined that those transactions can be carved out of the swap category, and they are subject only to the noted categories of the Dodd-Frank Act requirements. Therefore, the series will not receive the full benefit of CFTC regulation for certain of their foreign currency trading activities.

The percentage of each Series’ positions that are expected to constitute foreign currency forwards and foreign currency swaps can vary substantially from month to month.

Trading on Foreign Exchanges Presents Greater Risks to the Series than Trading on U.S. Exchanges.

Each series trades on exchanges located outside the United States. Trading on U.S. exchanges is subject to CFTC regulation and oversight, including, for example, minimum capital requirements for commodity brokers, segregation of customer funds, regulation of trading practices on the exchanges, prohibitions against trading ahead of customer orders, prohibitions against filling orders off exchanges, prescribed risk disclosure statements, testing and licensing of industry sales personnel and other industry professionals, and recordkeeping requirements, and other requirements and restrictions for the purpose of preventing price manipulation and other disruptions to market integrity, avoiding systemic risk, preventing fraud and promoting innovation, competition and financial integrity of transactions. Trading on foreign exchanges is not regulated by the CFTC or any other U.S. governmental agency or instrumentality and may failbe subject to regulations that are different from those to which U.S. exchange trading is subject, provide less protection to investors than trading on U.S. exchanges, and may be less vigorously enforced than regulations in the U.S. The CFTC has no power to compel the enforcement of the rules of a foreign exchange or applicable foreign laws. Therefore, the series will not receive any benefit of U.S. government regulation for these trading activities.

Trading on foreign exchanges involves some risks that trading on U.S. exchanges does not, such as:

Lack of Investor Protection Regulation

The rights of the series in the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of a non-U.S. market or broker are likely to differ from rights that the series would have in the United States and these rights may be more limited than in the case of failures of U.S. markets or brokers.

Possible Governmental Intervention

Generally, foreign brokers are not subject to the jurisdiction of the CFTC or any other U.S. regulator. In addition, the series’ assets held outside of the United States to margin transactions on foreign exchanges are held in accordance with the client assets protection regime and the insolvency laws of the applicable jurisdiction. A foreign government might halt trading in a market and/or take possession of the series’ assets maintained in its country in which case the assets may never be recovered. The managing owner and the series might have little or no notice that such events were happening. In such circumstances, the managing owner may not be able to obtain the series’ assets.

Relatively New Markets

Some foreign exchanges on which the series trade may be in developmental stages so that prior price histories may not be indicative of current price patterns.

Exchange-Rate Exposure

The series are valued in U.S. dollars. Contracts on foreign exchanges are usually traded in the local currency. The series’ assets held in connection with contracts priced and settled in a foreign currency may be held in a foreign depository in accounts denominated in a foreign currency. Changes in the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar could cause losses to the series even if the contract traded is profitable.

Investments in Reference Programs Through a Swap or Other Derivative Instrument May Not Always Replicate Exactly Performance of the Relevant CTA Trading Program(s).

Certain Series invest in reference programs through total return swaps with Deutsche Bank AG. Such swaps reference an index comprised of shares in segregated investment portfolios directed by CTAs selected by the managing owner. It is possible that the underlying index in respect of any swap owned by a series may not fully replicate the performance of the relevant CTA programs in respect of other accounts traded by such CTAs. Further, the calculation of the underlying index for such swaps will include a deduction for a fee payable to the swap counterparty. Each of these deductions will mean that the return of such investment will be less than would be the case if no fees were deducted.

There Are Certain Risks Associated with the Trust’s Investment in U.S. Government Debt Securities.

With respect to the portion of the Trust’s assets apportioned for cash depositsmanagement, the Trust may invest in U.S. government securities which include any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States, or by a person controlled by or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the government of the United States pursuant to authority granted by Congress of the United States or any certificate of deposit for any of the foregoing, including U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S. Treasury bills and issues of agencies of the U.S. government (such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Trust. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

The Trust’s Investment in U.S. Government Debt Securities Will Be Subject to Interest Rate Risk.

The Trust’s cash management pool includes investments in U.S. government debt securities that change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of these investments generally increases. U.S. government securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities tend to produce higher yields, but are subject to greater fluctuations in value. Usually, the changes in the value of fixed income securities will not be available toaffect cash income generated, but may affect the Trading Companies orvalue of your investment. Given the Trust. This could have a significant impact on you and your investment.current low interest rate environment, the risk associated with rising rates is heightened.

Operating Risks

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

The Managing Owner has selected each Trading Advisor to manage the assets of each Series because each Trading Advisor performed well through the date of its selection. You must consider, however, the uncertain significance of past performance, and you should not rely to a substantial degree on the Trading Advisors’ or the Managing Owner’s records to date for predictive purposes. You should not assume that any Trading Advisor’s future trading decisions will create profit, avoid substantial losses or result in performance for the Series comparable to that Trading Advisor’s or to the Managing Owner’s past performance. In fact, as a significant amount of academic study has shown, futures funds more frequently than not under-perform the past performance records included in their prospectuses. The managing owner believes that the past performance of the trading advisors may be of interest to prospective investors, but encourages you to look at such information as an example of the respective objectives of the managing owner and each trading advisor rather than as any indication that the investment objectives of any series will be achieved.

Because you and other investors will acquire, exchange and redeem Units at different times, you may experience a loss on your Units even though the Series in which you have invested as a whole is profitable and even though other investors in that Series experience a profit. The past performance of any Series may not be representative of each investor’s investment experience in it.

Likewise, you and other investors will invest in different Series managed by different Trading Advisors. Each Series’ assets are valued and accounted for separately from every other Series. Consequently, the past performance of one Series has no bearing on the past performance of another Series. You cannot, for example, consider the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series)’Fund’s past performance in deciding whether to invest in any other Series.

You have limited performance information on which to evaluate an investment in a Series.

Certain of the Series have limited performance histories upon which to evaluate your investment in such Series. Although past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, if any such Series had a longer performance history, such performance history might provide you with more information on which to base your investment decision for such Series. As such Series have limited performance histories, you will have to make your decision to invest in any such Series without such possibly useful information.

The Managing Owner may allocate nominal assets in respect of a Series that are in excess of the NAV of such Series.

At any given time, the nominal assets, which are the total amount of assets of a series allocated to trading advisors and/or reference programs, including (i) actual funds deposited in accounts directed by the trading advisors or deposited as margin in respect of swaps or other derivative instruments referencing a reference program plus (ii) any notional equity allocated to the trading advisors and any reference programs, of a Series may exceed the NAV of such Series depending on the amount of notional equity that is being utilized. The Managing Owner expects that the nominal assets of each Series will generally be maintained at a level in excess of the NAV of such Series and such excess may be substantial to the extent the Managing Owner deems necessary to achieve the desired level of volatility. To the extent that nominal assets of a Series are in excess of NAV, investors should understand that the applicable Series will experience greater volatility as measured by NAV than it would if the nominal assets were maintained at a level equal to NAV. In such case, any losses to the Series will be greater as measured by a percentage of NAV, as compared to the percentage loss incurred in respect of nominal assets. Consequently, the allocation of nominal assets in excess of a Series’ NAV will magnify exposure to the swings in market prices of futures, forwards, options or other assets held by a trading company or referenced by a swap or other derivative instrument and result in increased volatility, and potentially greater losses. You may lose all or substantially all of your investment in a Series.

Each Series is charged substantial fees and expenses regardless of profitability.

Each Series is charged brokerage charges, over-the-counter (or OTC) dealer spreads and related transaction fees interest and expenses and management fees in all cases regardless of whether any Series’ activities are profitable. In addition, the Managing Owner charges each Series an incentive fee based on a percentage of the trading profits earned on the Series’ net assetsgenerated by each trading advisor for such Series, and the Managing Owner pays all or a portion of such incentive fees to the Trading Advisor(s) for such Series. Because the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series) and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) may each employ multiple Trading Advisors, it is possible that such Series could pay substantial incentive fees out of the net assets of any such Series with respect to one or more Trading Advisors in a year in which such Series has no net trading profits or in which itsuch Series actually loses money. In addition, each Series must earn trading gainsprofits and interest income sufficient to compensate forcover these fees and expenses beforein order for it can earn any profit.to be profitable.

Investors should note that the management fee payable to the Managing Owner is based on nominal assets rather than NAV. Therefore, the management fee will be greater as a percentage of a Series’ NAV to the extent that the nominal assets of such Series exceed its NAV. The Managing Owner expects that the nominal assets of each Series will generally be maintained at a level in excess of the net asset value for such Series and such excess may be substantial to the extent the Managing Owner deems necessary to achieve the desired level of volatility.

There are certain risks associated with investments in trading companies.

Certain of the trading companies may be organized as series limited liability companies. This means that, under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the assets of one Series are not available to pay the liabilities of another Series or the trading company as a whole. This statute has not been tested in a court of law in the United States. In the event series limited liability is not enforceable, a segregated Series could be obligated to pay the liabilities of another Series or the trading company. 

Each of the Series except for Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Winton Series) invests in trading companies that, although they are organized as series limited liability companies, allocate assets to more than one commodity trading advisor without the establishment of separate series with segregated liabilities. For these trading companies, losses incurred by one commodity trading advisor may negatively impact the trading company as a whole, as the assets allocated to a different commodity trading advisor may be made available to pay the liabilities of the commodity trading advisor that has incurred the loss. Since the Series currently invest in such trading companies, this could indirectly cause the assets of one Series to be used to pay the liabilities of another Series. For trading companies that allocate assets to more than one commodity trading advisor, a Series may be allowed to allocate a portion of its assets to a particular commodity trading advisor accessed by the trading company, rather than to the trading company as a whole.

Differing levels of fees received may create an incentive for the Managing Owner to favor certain Series over others.

The Managing Owner charges the various Series differing levels of fees. This may create an incentive for the Managing Owner to favor certain Series over other Series in, among other things, the amount of time and effort spent managing any given Series and the selection of Trading Advisors for a given Series.

Each Series may incur higher fees and expenses upon renewing existing or entering into new contractual relationships.

The clearing agreements between the Clearing Brokers and the Trading Companies generally are terminable by the Clearing Brokers once the Clearing Broker has given the Trading Company the required notice. Upon termination of a clearing agreement, the Managing Owner may be required to renegotiate that agreement or make other arrangements for obtaining clearing. The services of the Clearing Brokers may not be available, or even if available, these services may not be available on the terms as favorable as those contained in the expired or terminated clearing agreements.

The Series may be obligated to make payments under guarantee agreements.

Each of the Series has guaranteed the obligations of the trading companies under the customer agreements with UBS Securities as Clearing Broker. In the event that one Series is unable to meet its obligations to UBS Securities, the assets of the other Series will be available to UBS Securities as part of the guarantee, but only to the extent of such Series’ pro rata allocation to the trading company. As such, even if you are not invested in the defaulting Series, your investment could be impacted. The Trust, or any Series of the Trust, may enter into similar guarantees in the future.

The incentive fees could be an incentive to the Trading Advisors to make riskier investments.

The Managing Owner pays each Trading Advisor incentive fees based on the trading profits earned by it for the applicable Series, including unrealized appreciation on open positions. Accordingly, it is possible that the Managing Owner will pay an incentive fee on trading profits that do not become realized. Also, because the Trading Advisors are compensated based on the trading profits earned, each of the Trading Advisors has a financial incentive to make investments that are riskier than might be made if a Series’ assets were managed by a Trading Advisor that did not receive performance-based compensation.

You have limited rights, and you cannot prevent the Trust from taking actions which could cause losses.

You will exercise no control over the Trust’s day-to-day business. Therefore, the Trust will take certain actions and enter into certain transactions or agreements without your approval. For example, the Trust may retain a Trading Advisor for a Series in which you are invested, and such Trading Advisor may ultimately incur losses for the Series. As a Limited Owner, you will have no ability to determine or influence the hiring, retention or firing of such Trading Advisor. However, certain actions, such as termination or dissolution of a Series, may only be taken upon the affirmative vote of Limited Owners holding Units representing at least a majority (over 50%) of the NAV of the Series (excluding Units owned by the Managing Owner and its affiliates).

You may not be able to establish a basis for liability against a Trading Advisor, a Clearing Broker or the Swap Counterparty.

Each Trading Advisor, each Clearing Broker and each Swap counterparty acts only as a trading advisor, clearing broker or swap counterparty, respectively, to the applicable Series andand/or Trading Company. These parties do not act as trading advisors, clearing brokers, or swap counterparties to you. Therefore, you have no contractual privity with the Trading Advisors, the Clearing Brokers or any Swap counterparty. Due to this lack of contractual privity, you may not be able to establish a basis for liability against a Trading Advisor, a Clearing Broker or any Swap counterparty.

An unanticipated number of redemption requests duringover a short period of time could result in losses.

Substantial redemptions of units could require a Series to liquidate investments more rapidly than otherwise desirable in order to raise the necessary cash to fund the redemptions, which could result in losses. Illiquidity in the markets could make it difficult to liquidate positions on favorable terms, which could result in additional losses. It may also be difficult for the Series to achieve a market position appropriately reflecting a smaller equity base.

Reserves for contingent liabilities may be established upon redemption, and the Trust may withhold a portion of your redemption amount.

When you redeem your units, the Trust may find it necessary to set up a reserve for undetermined or contingent liabilities and withhold a certain portion of your redemption amount. This could occur, for example, if (i) if some of the positions of the Series in which you were invested were illiquid, (ii) if there are any assets which cannot be properly valued on the redemption date, or (iii) if there is any pending transaction or claim by or against the Trust involving or which may affect your book capital account or your obligations.

Conflicts of interest exist in the structure and operation of the Trust.

A number of actual and potential conflicts of interest exist in the operation of the Trust’s business. The Managing Owner, the Trading Advisors and their respective principals are all of which are engaged in other investment activities, and are not required to devote substantially all of their time to the Trust’s business.

The failure or bankruptcy of one of its Futures Clearing Brokers, central clearing brokers, banks, counterparties or other custodians could result in a substantial loss of one or more Series’ assets.

The Trust is subject to the risk of insolvency of an exchange, clearinghouse, central clearing broker, commodity broker, and counterparties with whom the trading companies trade. Trust assets could be lost or impounded in such an insolvency during lengthy bankruptcy proceedings. Were a substantial portion of the Trust’s capital tied up in a bankruptcy, the Managing Owner might suspend or limit trading, perhaps causing a Series to miss significant profit opportunities. The Trust is subject to the risk of the inability or refusal to perform on the part of the counterparties with whom contracts are traded. In the event that the Clearing Brokers are unable to perform their obligations, the Trust’s assets are at risk and investors may only recover apro ratashare of their investment, or nothing at all.

Exchange-traded futures and futures-styled option contracts are marked to market on a daily basis, with variations in value credited or charged to the Trust’s account on a daily basis. The Clearing Brokers, as futures commission merchants for the Trust’s exchange-traded contracts, are required, pursuant to CFTC regulations, to segregate from their own assets, and for the sole benefit of itstheir commodity customers, all funds held by such clients with respect to exchange-traded futures and futures-styled options contracts, including an amount equal to the net unrealized gain on all open futures and futures-styled options contracts. Similar requirements apply with respect to funds held in connection with cleared swap contracts. Bankruptcy law applicable to all U.S. futures brokers requires that, in the event of the bankruptcy of such a broker, all property held by the broker, including certain property specifically traceable to the Trust, will be returned, transferred, or distributed to the broker’s customers only to the extent of each customer’spro rata share of the assets held by such futures broker. The Managing Owner will attempt to limit the Trust’s deposits and transactions to well-capitalized institutions in an effort to mitigate such risks, but there can be no assurance that even a well-capitalized, major institution will not become bankrupt.

In the event of a shortfall in segregated customer funds held by the futures commission merchant, the series’ assets on account with the futures commission merchant may be at risk in the event of the futures commission merchant’s bankruptcy or insolvency, and in such event, the series may only recover a portion of the available customer funds. If no property is available for distribution, the series would not recover any of its assets. With respect to a series’ OTC uncleared swaps, prior to the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act’s provisions, there was no requirement to segregate funds held with respect to such contracts. There is still no requirement to segregate funds held as variation margin posted by a party engaging in uncleared swaps with a swap dealer or major swap participant; however, a party engaging in uncleared swaps with a swap dealer or major swap participant can ask that the initial margin posted by such party be held with an independent third party custodian. Generally, the party requesting segregation will pay the costs of such custodial arrangement. There may also be costs and delays involved in negotiating the custodial arrangement and related contractual terms.

With respect to transactions a Series enters into that are not traded on an exchange, there are no daily settlements of variations in value and there is no requirement to segregate funds held with respect to such accounts. Thus, the funds that a Series invests in such transactions may not have the same protections as funds used as margin or to guarantee exchange-traded futures and options contracts. If the counterparty becomes insolvent and a Series has a claim for amounts deposited or profits earned on transactions with the counterparty, the Series’ claim may not receive a priority. Without a priority, the Trust is a general creditor and its claim will be paid, along with the claims of other general creditors, from any monies still available after priority claims are paid. Even funds of the Trust that the counterparty keeps separate from its own operating funds may not be safe from the claims of other general and priority creditors. There are no limitations on the amount of allocated assets a portfolio manager can trade on foreign exchanges or in forward contracts.

You will not be able to review any Series’ holdings on a daily basis, and you may suffer unanticipated losses.

The Trading Advisors make trading decisions on behalf of the assets of each Series. While the Trading Advisors receive daily trade confirmations from the Clearing Brokers of each transaction entered into on behalf of each Series for which they manage the trading, of, each Series’ trading results are only reported to investors monthly in summary fashion. Accordingly, an investment in the Units does not offer investors the same transparency that a personal trading account offers. As a result, you may suffer unanticipated losses.

You Will Not Be Aware of Changes to Trading Programs.

Because of the proprietary nature of each Trading Advisor’s trading programs, you generally will not be advised if adjustments are made to a trading program in order to accommodate additional assets under management or for any other reason.

The Trust could terminate before you achieve your investment objective causing potential loss of your investment or upsetting your investment portfolio.

Unforeseen circumstances, including substantial losses or withdrawal of the Trust’s Managing Owner, maycould cause the Trust to terminate before its stated termination date of December 31, 2053. The Trust’s termination would cause the liquidation and potential loss of your investment and could upset the overall maturity and timing of your investment portfolio.

Neither the Trust nor any of the trading companies is a regulated investment company and thus is subject to different protections than a regulatedregistered investment company.

Neither the Trust nor any of the trading companies is an investment company subject to the Investment Company Act. Accordingly, you do not have the protections afforded by that statute. For example, the Investment Company Act requires investment companies to have a majority of disinterested directors and regulates the relationship between the investment company and its investment adviser. Since neither the Trust nor the trading companies is a registered investment company, you will not benefit from such protections.

The Managing Owner is leanly staffed and relies heavily on its key personnel to manage the Trust’s trading activities. The loss of such personnel could adversely affect the Trust.

In managing and directing the day-to-day activities and affairs of the Trust, the Managing Owner relies heavily on its principals. The Managing Owner is leanly staffed, although there are back-up personnel for every key function. If any of its key persons were to leave or be unable to carry out his or her present responsibilities, it may have an adverse effect on the management of the Trust.

In addition, under the operating agreement of the Managing Owner, Mr. Bornhoft’s ability to serve as the Chief Investment Officer of the Managing Owner is dependent upon certain factors. If Mr. Bornhoft ceases to be the ManagerChief Investment Officer of the Managing Owner, the Trust couldmay be adversely affected.

The Managing Owner places significant reliance on the Trading Advisors and their key personnel andpersonnel; the loss of such personnel could adversely affect a Series.

The Managing Owner relies on the Trading Advisors to achieve trading gains for each Series, entrusting each of them with the responsibility for, and discretion over, the investment of their allocated portions of the Trust’s assets. The Trading Advisors, in turn, are dependent on the services of a limited number of persons to develop and refine their trading approaches and strategies and execute the trading transactions. The loss of the services of any Trading Advisor’s principals or key employees, or the failure of those principals or key employees to function effectively as a team, may have an adverse effect on that Trading Advisor’s ability to manage its trading activities successfully or may cause the Trading Advisor to cease operations entirely, either of which,entirely. This, in turn, could negatively impact one or more Series’ performance. Each of the Trading Advisors is whollywholly- (or majority)majority-) owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by single individuals who have major roles in developing, refining and implementing the Trading Advisor’s trading strategies and operating its business. The death, incapacity or other prolonged unavailability of such individuals likely would greatly hinder these Trading Advisors’ operations, and could result in their ceasing operations entirely, which could adversely affect the value of your investment.

The Managing Owner may terminate, replace and/or add Trading Advisors in its sole discretion which may disrupt trading, adversely affecting the Net Asset Value of a Series.

The Managing Owner may terminate, substitute or retain Trading Advisors on behalf of each Series in its sole discretion. The addition of a new Trading Advisor and/or the removal of one of the current Trading Advisors may cause disruptions in trading as assets are reallocated and new Trading Advisors transition over, which may have an adverse effect on the NAV of the affected Series.

The Managing Owner’s allocation of the Trust’s assets among Trading Advisors may result in less than optimal performance by the Trust.

The Managing Owner may reallocate assets among the Trading Advisors for the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund (formerly Frontier Select Series) or Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) upon termination of a Trading Advisor or retention of a new Trading Advisor or at the commencement of any month. Consequently, the net assets for such Series may be allocated among the Trading Advisors in a different manner than the currently anticipated allocation.allocations. The Managing Owner’s allocation of assets of any such Series will directlymay adversely affect the profitability of the trading of the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), possibly in an adverse manner. For example, a Trading Advisor for a Series may experience a high rate of return but may be managing only a small percentage of the net assets of such Series. In this case, the Trading Advisor’s performance could have a minimal effect on the NAV of such Series.

The success of each Series depends on the ability of the personnel of its Trading Advisor(s) to accurately implement their trading systems, and any failure to do so could subject a Series to losses on such transactions.losses.

The Trading Advisors’ computerized trading systems rely on the Trading Advisors’ personnel to accurately process the systems’ outputs and execute the transactions called for by the systems. In addition, each Trading Advisor relies on its staff to properly operate and maintain itsthe computer and communications systems upon which theits trading systems rely. Execution and operation of each Trading

Advisor’s systems is therefore subject to human errors. Any failure, inaccuracy or delay in implementing any of the Trading Advisors’ systems and executing transactions could impair itsthe trading advisor’s ability to identify profit opportunities and benefit from them. It could also result in decisions to undertake transactions based on inaccurate or incomplete information. This could cause substantial losses on transactions.losses.

Regulation of the commodity interest markets is extensive and constantly changing; future regulatory developments are impossible to predict and may significantly, andbut adversely affect the Trust.

The futures, options on futures and security futures markets are subject to comprehensive statutes, regulations and margin requirements. With respect to traditional futures exchanges, the CFTC and the exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the retroactive implementation of speculative position limits or higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily limits and the suspension of trading. The regulation of commodity interest transactions in the United States is a rapidly changing area of law and is subject to ongoing modification by governmental and judicial action. In addition, various national governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the currency markets and the need to regulate the derivatives markets in general. The effect of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse .adverse.

The Risk Management Approaches of One or All of the Trading Advisors May Not Be Fully Effective, and a Series May Incur Losses.

The mechanisms employed by each Trading Advisor to monitor and manage the risks associated with its trading activities on behalf of the Series for which it trades may not succeed in mitigating all identified risks. Even if a Trading Advisor’s risk management approaches are fully effective, it cannot anticipate all risks that it may face. If one or more of the Trading Advisors fails to identify and adequately monitor and manage all of the risks associated with its trading activities, the Series for which it trades may suffer losses.

The Managing Owner May Adjust the Leverage Employed by a Trading Advisor to Maintain the Target Rate of Volatility.

In its sole discretion, the managing owner may modify the allocations between the trading advisors used by a particular series at any time, including adding new trading advisors or terminating current trading advisor relationships, and the managing owner may also increase or decrease the amount of leverage employed by a specific trading advisor by allocating notional funds to a particular trading advisor in accordance with the managing owner’s proprietary management program. The managing owner may increase or decrease the notional equity allocated to one or more individual trading advisors over time in order to adjust the annual volatility for a series within the target volatility range disclosed for such series.

To the extent that the managing owner increases the leverage employed by a particular trading advisor to maintain the target volatility of a series, either by increasing the actual funds which are traded by the trading advisor at a leverage of greater than 1x or by allocating notional amounts to one or more trading advisors, the specific risks associated with the relevant trading advisors will be greater for the affected series. As the notional equity under management of a specific trading advisor increases, the diversification benefits attributable to a multi-advisor pool will be decreased to an extent, since the trading advisor will manage a greater percentage of the notional exposure of the series. Since the managing owner may change the applicable leverage used by a particular trading advisor at any time, the diversification of risks between the trading advisors is variable.

Tax and ERISA Risks

You are strongly urged to consult your own tax advisor and counsel about the possible tax consequences to you of an investment in the Trust. Tax consequences may differ for different investors, and you could be affected by changes in the tax laws.

You May Have Tax Liability Attributable to Your Investment in a Series Even if You Have Received No Distributions and Redeemed No Units, and Even if the Series Generated an Economic Loss.

If a Series has profit for a taxable year (as determined for federal income tax purposes), the profit will be includible in your taxable income, whether or not cash or other property is actually distributed to you by the Series. The Managing Owner does not intend to make any distributions from any Series. Accordingly, it is anticipated that federal income taxes on your allocable share of a Series’ profits will exceed the amount of distributions to you, if any, for a taxable year. As such, you must be prepared to satisfy any tax liability from redemptions of Units or other sources. In addition, a Series may have capital losses from trading activities that cannot be deducted against the Series’ interest income, so that you may have to pay taxes on interest income even if the Series generates a net economic loss for a taxable year.

You may be taxed on gains that the Trust never realizes.

Because a substantial portion of the Trust’s open positions are “marked-to-market” at the end of each year, some of your tax liability for each year willmay be based on unrealized gains that the Trust may never actually realize.

Partnership treatment is not assured, and if the Trust is not treated as a Partnership, you could suffer adverse tax consequences.

The Managing Owner believes that the Trust and each Series will be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, assuming that at least 90% of the gross income of the Trust, and each Series, has always constituted and will continue to constitute “qualifying income” within the meaning of Section 7704(d) of the Code, neither the Trust nor any Series will not be a treated as a publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation. The Managing Owner believes it is likely, but not certain, that the Trust, and each Series, will meet this income test. The Trust has not requested, and does not intend to request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”“IRS”), concerning its tax treatment.treatment or the tax treatment of any Series.

If the Trust, or any Series, were to be treated as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes: the net income of the Trust, or the Series, would be taxed at corporate income tax rates, thereby substantially reducing its distributable cash; you would not be allowed to deduct losses of the Trust;Trust, or a Series; and distributions to you, other than liquidating distributions, would constitute dividends to the extent of the current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Trust, or a Series, and would be taxable as such.

There is the possibility of a tax audit which could result in additional taxes to you.

The Trust’s tax returns may be audited by a taxing authority, and such an audit could result in adjustments to the Trust’s returns. If an audit results in an adjustment, you may be compelled to file amended returns and to pay additional taxes plus interest and penalties.

You will likely recognize short-term capital gain.

Profits on futures contracts traded in regulated U.S. and some foreign exchanges, foreign currency contracts traded in the interbank market, and U.S. and some foreign exchange-traded options on commodities are generally taxed as short-term capital gain to the extent of 40% of gains with respect to section 1256 contracts. Special rules apply in the case of mixed straddles (generally, offsetting positions where some, but not all, of the positions are marked-to-market). These special rules could have the effect of limiting the amount of gain treated as long-term capital gain.

The IRS could challenge allocations of recognized gains to Limited PartnersUnitholders who redeem.

The trust agreement provides that recognized gains may be specially allocated for tax purposes to redeeming limited owners. If the IRS were to successfully challenge such allocations, each remaining limited owner’s share of recognized gains would be increased.

The IRS could take the position that deductions for certain Trust expenses are subject to various limitations.

Non-corporate taxpayers are subject to certain limitations for deductions for “investment advisory expenses” for federal income tax and alternative minimum tax purposes. The IRS could argue that certain expenses of the Trust are investment advisory expenses.

The investment of Benefit Plan Investors may be limited and/or prohibitedSubject to Mandatory Redemption if any or all of the Series (or Class of any Series) are deemed to hold plan assets or if the Trading Advisors have pre-existing fiduciary relationships with certain investing Benefit Plan Investors and Benefit Plan Investors are required to consider their fiduciary responsibilities in making an investment decision.

Special considerations apply to investments in the Trust by individual retirement accounts, pension, profit-sharing, stock bonus, Keogh, welfare benefit and other employee benefit plans whether or not subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, each a Plan, a Plan that is subject to Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or an ERISA Plan, and any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of an ERISAa Plan’s investment in such entity or such entities together with ERISA Plans, Benefitis referred to as a “Benefit Plan Investors.Investor.” While the assets of the Trust or any Series (and Class of any Series) are intended not to constitute plan assets with respect to any Benefit Plan Investors, the United States Department of Labor, or the DOL, IRS or a court could disagree. If the DOL, IRS or a court were to find that the assets of some or all of the Series (or Class of any Series) are planthe assets of Benefit Plan Investors, the Managing Owner and the Trading Advisors to such Series (or Class) wouldmay be fiduciaries, and certain transactions in or by the Trust could be prohibited. For example, if the Trust were deemed to hold plan“plan assets,” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, the Trading Advisors may have to refrain from directing certain transactions that are currently contemplated. Furthermore, whether or not the Trust is deemed to hold plan assets, if a Benefit Plan Investor has certain pre-existing relationships with the Managing Owner, one or more Trading Advisors, the selling agents or a Clearing Broker, investment in a Series may be limited or prohibited. In the event that, for any reason, the assets of any Series (or Class of any Series) might be deemed to be “plan assets,” and if any transactions would or might constitute prohibited transactions under ERISA or the Code and an exemption for such transaction or transactions is not available or cannot be obtained from the DOL (or the Managing Owner determines not to seek such exemption), the Managing Owner reserves the right, upon notice to, but without the consent of any limited owner, to mandatorily redeem Units held by any limited owner that is a Benefit Plan Investor. Furthermore, whether or not a Series (or Class of any Series) are plan assets, Benefit Plan Investors should consider their fiduciary responsibilities before making a decision to invest in a Series (or Class of any Series) and Plan investors who are not subject to ERISA may be subject to similar responsibilities under state, local, or non-U.S. law.

Foreign investors may face exchange rate risk and local tax consequences.

Foreign investors should note that the Units are denominated in U.S. Dollarsdollars and that changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of their investment to decrease.

Regulatory Risks

Regulation of the Commodity Interest Markets is Extensive and Constantly Changing; Future Regulatory Developments are Impossible to Predict, but May Significantly and Adversely Affect the Trust.

The futures, options on futures and security futures markets are subject to comprehensive statutes, regulations and margin requirements. With respect to traditional futures exchanges, the CFTC and the exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the retroactive implementation of speculative position limits or higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily limits and the suspension of trading. The regulation of commodity interest transactions in the United States is a rapidly changing area of law and is subject to ongoing modification by governmental and judicial action. In addition, various national governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the currency markets and the need to regulate the derivatives markets in general. The effect of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse.

CFTC registrations could be terminated which could adversely affect the Trust or a Series.

If the Commodity Exchange Act registrations or NFA memberships of the Managing Owner or the registered Trading Advisors were no longer effective, these entities would not be able to act for the Trust, which could adversely affect the Trust or such Series.

The Trust and the Managing Owner have been represented by unified counsel, and neither the Trust nor the Managing Owner will retain independent counsel to review this offering.

The Trust and the Managing Owner have been represented by unified counsel. To the extent that the Trust, the Managing Owner or you could benefit byfrom further independent review, such benefit will not be available unless you separately retain such independent counsel.

The foregoing risk factors are not a complete explanation of all the risks involved in purchasing interests in a fund that invests in the highly speculative, highly leveraged trading of futures, forwards and options. You should read this entire Form 10-K and the Prospectus before determining to subscribe for Units.

No Units in any Series are publicly traded. The Units in each Series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, on a daily basis, subject to a notice requirement as set forth in the Prospectus. Except as otherwise set forth in the Prospectus, Units will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the NAV per Unit of the applicable Series, calculated as of the point described in the Prospectus. The redemption of Units has no impact on the value of Units that remain outstanding. The Managing Owner may temporarily suspend redemptions under limited circumstances described in the Prospectus. The right to obtain redemption of Units of a Series is contingent upon such Series’ having property sufficient to discharge its liabilities on the date of redemption.

Further, if a Limited Owner redeems all or a portion of its Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series on or before the end of twelve full months following the effective date of the purchase of the Units being redeemed, such Limited Owner is charged a redemption fee of up to 3.0% of the NAV at which the Units are redeemed. The redemption fee charged will depend on, among other things, the particular Series of Units being redeemed. The Trust Agreement also contains restrictions on the transfer or assignment of the Units.

The Managing Owner has the sole discretion in determining what distributions, if any, the Trust will make to the Limited Owners. The Trust has not affected distributions on the Units in any Series as of the date hereof and the Managing Owner does not intend to effect any distributions in the foreseeable future.

The proceeds of offerings are deposited in the bank and brokerage accounts of the Trust and the Trading Companies for the purpose of engaging in trading activities in accordance with the Trust’s trading policies and its Trading Advisors’ respective trading strategies.

Item 7.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed on August 8, 2003. The Trust is a multi-advisor commodity pool, as described in CFTC Regulation § 4.10(d)(2). The Trust is authorized to issue multiple Series of Units, pursuant to the requirements of the Trust Act. The assets of each Series are held and accounted for in separate and distinct records separately from the assets of other Series. The Trust is managed by the Managing Owner, and its term will expire on December 31, 2053 (unless terminated earlier in certain circumstances).

The Trust, with respect to each Series of Units, engages in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forwardforwards (including interbank foreign currencies) and, options contracts and other derivative instruments (including Swaps). The Trust allocates funds to affiliated Trading Companies, each of which has one-year renewable contracts with its own independent Trading Advisor(s) that will manage all or a portion of the applicable Trading Company’s assets, and make the trading decisions for the assets of each Series vested in such Trading Company. In November 2010, the Equinox Frontier Select Fund (formerly Frontier Select Series) invested a portion of its assets in an unaffiliated Trading Company, Berkeley Quantitative Colorado Fund LLC which was liquidated on March 16, 2012. The assets of each Trading Company will be segregated from the assets of each other Trading Company. The Trust has an investment objective of increasing the value of the Units over the long term (capital appreciation), while controlling risk and volatility; further, to offer exposure to the investment programs of individual Trading Advisors and to specific instruments (currencies). For additional overview of the Trust’s structure and business activities, see Item 11. “BUSINESS.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires the Managing Owner to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Trust’s financial statements. The Trust’s most significant accounting policy, described below, includes the valuation of its futures and forward contracts, options contracts, swap contracts, U.S. treasury securities and investments in unconsolidated Trading Companies, as well as the carrying value of the custom time deposits. The majority of these investments are exchange traded contracts valuedCompanies. upon exchange settlement prices or non-exchange traded contracts and obligations with valuation based on third-party quoted dealer values on the Interbank market.

The Trust’s other significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 2 of the financial statements.

Investment Transactions and Valuation

The Managing Owner has evaluated the nature and type of transactions processed and estimates that it makes in preparing the Trust’s financial statements and related disclosures and has adoptedAccounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, and implemented the framework for measuring fair value for assets and liabilities.

The Trust utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach per the requirement of ASC 820 for the valuation of futures (exchange traded) contracts, forward (non-exchange traded) contracts, option contracts, swap contracts and other non-cash assets. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Trust applies the valuation techniques in a consistent manner for each asset or liability. The Trust records all investments at fair value in its Statements of Financial Condition, with changes in fair value reported as a component of net gain/(loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.

Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the financial asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the financial asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

In addition, the Trust monitors counterparty credit risk and incorporates any identified risk factors when assigning input levels to underlying financial assets or liabilities. In that regard ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. A full disclosure of the fair value hierarchy is presented in Note 3 of the financial statements—Fair Value Measurements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Trust will raise additional capital only through the sale of Units offered pursuant to the continuing offering, and does not intend to raise any capital through borrowing. Due to the nature of the Trust’s business, it makes no capital expenditures and has no capital assets that are not operating capital or assets.

The Managing Owner is responsible for the payment of all of the ordinary expenses associated with the organization of the Trust and the offering of each Series of Units, except for the initial and ongoing service fee, if any, and no Series will be required to reimburse these expenses. As a result, 100% of each Series’ offering proceeds are initially available for that Series’ trading activities.

A portion of each Trading Company’s assets is used as margin to maintain that Trading Company’s forward currency contract positions, and another portion is deposited in cash in segregated accounts in the name of each Trading Company maintained for each Trading Company at the clearing brokers in accordance with CFTC segregation requirements. At December 31, 2013,2014, cash deposited at the clearing brokers was $23,466,052$65,911,348 for the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) and $7,836,808 for the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series).Trust. The clearing brokers are expected to credit each Trading Company with approximately 80%-100% of the interest earned on its average net assets on deposit with the clearing brokers each month. Currently, with the Federal Funds target rate at 0.00% to 0.25%, this amount is estimated to be 0.00%. In an attempt to increase interest income earned, the Managing Owner also may invest the non-margin assets in U.S. government securities which include any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S., or by a person controlled by or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the government of the U.S. pursuant to authority granted by Congress or any certificate of deposit for any of the foregoing, including U.S. treasury bonds, U.S. treasury bills and issues of agencies of the U.S. government, and certain cash items such as money market funds and time deposits. Aggregate interest income from all sources, including assets held at clearing brokers, of up to 2% (annualized) is paid to the Managing Owner by the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) (Class 1 and Class 2 only), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Winton Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series).Fund. For the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) (Class 1a and Class 2a only), and the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), 20% of the total interest allocated to each Series is paid to the Managing Owner. The amounts reflected in the financial statements for the Trust and Series are disclosed on a net basis. Due to some classes not exceeding the 2% paid to the Managing Owner, amounts earned by those classes may be zero.

Approximately 10% to 30% of the Trust’s assets are expected to be committed as required margin for futures contracts and forwards and options trading and held by the respective broker, although the amount committed may vary significantly. Such assets are maintained in the form of cash or U.S. treasury bills in segregated accounts with the futures broker pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and regulations there under. Approximately 2% to 6% of the Trust’s assets are expected to be deposited with over-the-counter counterparties in order to initiate and maintain forward and swap contracts. Such assets are not held in segregation or otherwise regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act, unless such over-the-counter counterparty is registered as a futures commission merchant. These assets are held either in U.S. government securities or short-term time deposits with U.S.-regulated bank affiliates of the over-the-counter counterparties. The remaining approximately 64% to 88% of the Trust’s assets will normally be invested in cash equivalents and short-term investments, such as money market funds and time deposits and held by the clearing broker, the over-the-counter counterparties and by U.S. federally chartered banks. As of December 31, 2013,2014, total cash and cash equivalents held at banking institutions were $39,883,314$4,210,638 for the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), $17,682,708$1,110,779 for the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), $24,567,451$2,199,066 for the Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), $71,840,965$5,644,510 for the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), $10,799,016$878,280 for the Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), $28,926,436$4,012,974 for the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Frontier Winton Series), and $9,251,381for$921,598 for the Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series).Fund.

As a commodity pool, the Registrant has large cash positions. Such cash positions are used to pay margin for the trading of futures, forwards and options, and also to pay redemptions. Generally, the Registrant has not been forced to liquidate positions to fund redemptions. During the fiscal year endingended December 31, 2013,2014, the Registrant was able to pay all redemptions.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in future obligation or loss. Each Trading Company trades in futures, forward and swap contracts and is therefore a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interests positions held by a Trading Company in respect of any Series at the same time, and if the Trading Advisor(s) of such Trading Company are unable to offset such futures interests positions, such Trading Company could lose all of its assets and the holders of Units of such Series would realize a 100% loss. The Managing Owner seeks to minimize market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions and the level of diversification of each Trading Advisor’s portfolio. It is anticipated that any Trading Advisor’s margin-to-equity ratio will typically not exceed approximately 35% although the actual ratio could be higher or lower from time to time.

In addition to market risk, trading futures, forward and swap contracts entails credit risk which is the risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to a Trading Company. The counterparty for futures contracts traded in the U.S. and on most foreign

exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. Some non-U.S. exchanges, in contrast to U.S. exchanges are principals’ markets in which performance is the responsibility only of the individual counterparty with whom the Trading Company has entered into the transaction and not of the exchange or clearing corporation. In these kinds of markets, there is risk of bankruptcy or other failure or refusal to perform by the counterparty.

In the case of forward contracts and swaps traded on the interbank market, and swaps, neither is traded on an exchange. The counterparty is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a group of financial institutions; thus, there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The Managing Owner expects the Trading Advisors to trade only with those counterparties which it believes to be creditworthy. All positions of each Trading Company are valued each day on a mark-to-market basis. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to any Trading Company.

The Trust has entered into agreements, which provide for the indemnification of futures clearing brokers, currency trading companies, and commodity trading advisers, among others, against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of their individual obligations under such agreements, except for gross negligence or bad faith. The Trust has had no prior claims or payments pursuant to these agreements. The Trust’s individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

The business of the Trust is the speculative trading of commodity interests. The majority of the Trust’s futures and forward positions, which may be categorized as “purchase obligations” under Item 303 of Regulation S-K, are short-term. That is, they are held for less than one year. Because the Trust does not enter into other long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or other long-term liabilities that would otherwise be reflected on the Trust’s Statement of Financial Condition, a table of contractual obligations has not been presented.

Results of Operations for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 20132014

Series Returns and Other Information

The returns for each Series and Class of Units for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, and related information, are discussed below. The activities of the Trust on a consolidated basis are explained through the activity of the underlying Series. Please refer to the discussion of the Series activities in relation to the Trust on a consolidated basis.

Each Series had exposure to commodity interest positions within one or more sectors during fiscal 2014. The performance of each Series was impacted over the course of the year by, among other things, the relative performance of the relevant sector or sectors and the commodities within those sectors, the changing allocations among, and the specific positions taken by, the Series’ Trading Advisors in, the relevant sector(s) and commodities, and the timing of entries and exits. For each of the Series, a sector attribution chart has been included at the end of the relevant discussion. Each chart depicts the performance of the relevant Series’ positions within each of the relevant sectors (determined by the Managing Owner using monthly gross return and NAV figures, with various adjustments to net out a proportional allocation of the fees and expenses chargeable to the Series) during the fourth quarter (except as otherwise noted) and for the full calendar year. Charts depicting the performance of the various Series’ positions within each of the relevant sectors during the prior three quarters were included in the Trust’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q previously filed.

Item 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Trust is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments which are held by the Trading Companies in which the Series are invested are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or a substantial amount of the Series’ assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Series’ main line of business.

Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of each Trading Company’s open positions and, consequently, in each Series of the Trust’s earnings and cash flow. The Trading Companies’ and consequently the Series’ market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of exchange rates, interest rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which trades are made.

Each Trading Company rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the past performance for any Series is not necessarily indicative of the future results of such Series.

Additional risk of trading loss from investment in an unaffiliated Trading Company may result from the Managing Owner’s inability to directly control or stop trading in the event of exercise of certain withdrawal provisions in the investment agreement.

The Trading Companies’ and consequently the Series’ primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the Trading Advisors for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Trust’s and the Managing Owner’s risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Trading Companies and consequently the Trust. There can be no assurance that the Trading Companies’ current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long-term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in a Series.

Quantitative Market Risk

Trading Risk

The Series’ approximate risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by its trading advisors is quantified below in terms of value at risk. Due to the Series’ mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Series’ (through the Trading Companies) open positions is directly reflected in the Series’ earnings, realized or unrealized.

Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Trust as the measure of its value at risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95% to 99% of any one-day interval. The maintenance margin levels are established by brokers, dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation. Maintenance margin has been used rather than the more generally available initial margin, because initial margin includes a credit risk component that is not relevant to value at risk.

In the case of market sensitive instruments that are not exchange-traded, including currencies and some energy products and metals, the margin requirements for the equivalent futures positions have been used as value at risk. In those cases in which a futures-equivalent margin is not available, dealers’ margins have been used.

In the case of contracts denominated in foreign currencies, the value at risk figures include foreign currency margin amounts converted into U.S. Dollarsdollars with an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the Series, which is valued in U.S. Dollars,dollars, in expressing value at risk in a functional currency other than U.S. Dollars.dollars.

In quantifying each Series’ value at risk, 100% positive correlation in the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed. Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have simply been aggregated to determine each trading category’s aggregate value at risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Series’ positions held through the Trading Companies are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been reflected.

Value at Risk by Market Sectors

The following tables present the trading value at risk associated with each Series’ exposure to open positions (as held by the Trading Companies) by market sector as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012.2013. All open position trading risk exposures of the Series have been included in calculating the figures set forth below.

As of December 31, 2013, a portion of the assets of each of the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series) was invested in Swap Contracts with notional values as detailed in the notes to the financial statements. As of December 31, 2012,2014, a portion of the assets of the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series) wasEquinox Frontier Diversified Fund, Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund are invested in a Swap Contract with notional values as detailedcontracts (Please refer to Note 4 in the notes to the financial statements.Series Financial Statements). Margin information is not available for these contracts therefore no value at risk calculations were included in the table for these investments.

Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk

The face value of the market sector instruments held on behalf of the Series is typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement, which generally ranges between approximately 1% and 10% of contract face value, as well as many times the capitalization of the Series. The magnitude of each Series’ open positions creates a risk of ruin not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of their positions, certain market conditions, although unusual, but historically recurring from time to time, could cause a Series to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The value at risk table above, as well as the past performance of the Series, gives no indication of this risk of severe losses.

Non-Trading Risk

The Series have non-trading market risk on their foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances, as well as the market risk they represent, are immaterial. The Series also have non-trading market risk as a result of investing a portion of their available assets in U.S. government securities which include any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S., or by a person controlled by or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the government of the U.S. pursuant to authority granted by Congress of the U.S. or any certificate of deposit for any of the foregoing, including U.S. treasury bonds, U.S. treasury bills and issues of agencies of the U.S. government, and certain cash items such as money market funds, certificates of deposit (under nine months) and time deposits. The market risk represented by these investments is also immaterial.

Qualitative Market Risk

The following are the primary trading risk exposures of the Series of the Trust as of December 31, 2013,2014, by market sector.

Interest Rates

Interest rate risk is one of the principal market exposures of each Series. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of interest rate futures positions held and indirectly the value of a Trading Company’s stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact profitability. The primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the U.S. and the other G-7 countries. However, the Trading Companies also may take futures positions on the government debt of smaller nations. The Managing Owner anticipates that G-7 interest rates will remain the primary market exposure of each Trading Company and accordingly of each Series for the foreseeable future. The changes in interest rates which are expected to have the most effect on the Series are changes in long-term, as opposed to short-term rates. Most of the speculative positions to be held by the Trading Companies will be in medium- to long-term instruments. Consequently, even a material change in short-term rates is expected to have little effect on the Series if the medium- to long-term rates remain steady. Aggregate interest income from all sources, including assets held at clearing brokers, of up to 2% (annualized) is paid to the Managing Owner by the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) (Class 1 and Class 2 only), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Frontier Winton Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series).Fund. For the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series) and Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) (Class 1a and Class 2a only), 20% of the total interest allocated to each Series is paid to the Managing Owner. In addition, if interest rates fall below 0.75%, the Managing Owner is paid the difference between the Trust’s annualized interest income that is allocated to each of such Series and 0.75%. Interest income above what is paid to the Managing Owner is retained by the Series. The amounts reflected in the financial statements for the Trust and Series are disclosed on a net basis. Due to some classes not exceeding the 2% paid to the Managing Owner, amounts earned by those classes may be zero.

Currencies

Exchange rate risk is a significant market exposure of each Series of the Trust in general. For each Series of the Trust in general, currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations that disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Trading Advisors on behalf of a Series trade in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates, which are positions between two currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.dollar. The Managing Owner does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Series’ currency sector will change significantly in the future.

Stock Indices

For each Series, its primary equity exposure is equity price risk in the G-7 countries as well as other smaller jurisdictions. Each Series of the Trust is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Japanese indices.

Metals

For each Series, its metals market exposure is fluctuations in the price of both precious metals, including gold and silver, as well as base metals including aluminum, copper, nickel and zinc. Some metals, such as gold, are used as surrogate stores of value, in place of hard currency, and thus have currency or interest rate risk associated with them relative to their price in a specific currency. Other metals, such as silver, platinum, copper and steel, have substantial industrial applications, and may be subject to forces affecting industrial production and demand.

Agriculturals/Softs

Each Series may also invest in raw commodities and may thus have exposure to agricultural price movements, which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions or by political events in countries that comprise significant sources of commodity supply.

Energy

For each Series its primary energy market exposure is in oil, gas and other energy product price movements, often resulting from political developments and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Oil and gas prices can be volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.

Other Trading Risks

As a result of leverage, small changes in the price of a Trading Company’s positions may result in substantial losses for a Series. Futures, forwards and options are typically traded on margin. This means that a small amount of capital can be used to invest in contracts of much greater total value. The resulting leverage means that a relatively small change in the market price of a contract can produce a substantial loss. Like other leveraged investments, any purchase or sale of a contract may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in that contract. The Trading Companies may lose more than their initial margin deposits on a trade.

The Trading Companies’ trading is subject to execution risks. Market conditions may make it impossible for the Trading Advisors to execute a buy or sell order at the desired price, or to close out an open position. Daily price fluctuation limits are established by the exchanges and approved by the CFTC. When the market price of a contract reaches its daily price fluctuation limit, no trades can be executed at prices outside the limit. The holder of a contract may therefore be locked into an adverse price movement for several days or more and lose considerably more than the initial margin put up to establish the position. Thinly traded or illiquid markets also can make it difficult or impossible to execute trades. The Trading Advisor’s positions are subject to speculative limits. The CFTC and domestic exchanges have established speculative position limits on the maximum futures position which any person, or group of persons acting in concert, may hold or control in particular futures contracts or options on futures contracts traded on U.S. commodity exchanges. Under current regulations, other accounts of the Trading Advisors are combined with the positions held by them on behalf of the applicable Trading Company for position limit purposes. This trading could preclude additional trading in these commodities by the Trading Advisors for the accounts of the Series.

Systematic strategies do not consider fundamental types of data and do not have the benefit of discretionary decision making. The assets of the Series are allocated to Trading Advisors that rely on technical, systematic strategies that do not take into account factors external to the market itself (although certain of these strategies may have minor discretionary elements incorporated into their systematic strategy). The widespread use of technical trading systems frequently results in numerous trading advisors attempting to execute similar trades at or about the same time, altering trading patterns and affecting market liquidity. Furthermore, the profit potential of trend-following systems may be diminished by the changing character of the markets, which may make historical price data (on which technical programs are based) only marginally relevant to future market patterns. Systematic strategies are developed on the basis of a statistical analysis of market prices. Consequently, any factor external to the market itself that dominates prices that a discretionary decision maker may take into account may cause major losses for a systematic strategy. For example, a pending political or economic event may be very likely to cause a major price movement, but a systematic strategy may continue to maintain positions indicated by its trading method that might incur major losses if the event proved to be adverse.

However, because certain of the Trading Advisors’ strategies involve some discretionary aspects in addition to their technical factors, certain of the Trading Advisors may occasionally use discretion in investing the assets of a Trading Company. For example, the Trading Advisors often use discretion in selecting contracts and markets to be followed. In exercising such discretion, such Trading Advisor may take positions opposite to those recommended by the Trading Advisor’s trading system or signals. Discretionary decision making may also result in a Trading Advisor failing to capitalize on certain price trends or making unprofitable trades in a situation where another trader relying solely on a systematic approach might not have done so. Furthermore, such use of discretion may not enable the relevant Series of the Trust to avoid losses, and in fact, such use of discretion may cause such Series to forego profits which it may have otherwise earned had such discretion not been used.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure

The means by which the Managing Owner attempts to manage the risk of the Trust’s open positions is essentially the same in all market categories traded. The Managing Owner applies risk management policies to trading which generally are designed to limit the total exposure of assets under management. In addition, the Managing Owner follows diversification guidelines which are often formulated in terms of the balanced volatility between markets and correlated groups.

Item 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the management of the Managing Owner, including its Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, the Trust evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), for the Trust and each Series as of December 31, 20132014 (the “Evaluation Date”). Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable (not absolute) assurance that its objectives will be met. Furthermore, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Based upon our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Managing Owner concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the disclosure controls and procedures for the Trust and each Series were effective to provide reasonable assurance that they are timely alerted to the material information relating to the Trust and each Series required to be included in the Trust’s periodic SEC filings.

Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Managing Owner is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting by the Trust.

The Managing Owner’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The internal control over financial reporting for the Trust and each Series includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the management of the Managing Owner; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements of the Trust or any Series.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting for the Trust and each Series as of December 31, 2013,2014, based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in its 19922013 report entitledInternal Control-Integrated Framework. Management further reviewed the updated 2013 framework as part of its assessment. Based on that assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013,2014, the internal control over financial reporting for the Trust and each Series is effective based on the criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit the Trust to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.

Scope of Exhibit 31 Certifications

Item 11.EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

The Trust has no directors or officers. Its affairs are managed solely by the Managing Owner, which receives compensation for its services from the Trust, as follows:

Management Fees

Each Series of Units pays to the Managing Owner a monthly management fee equal to a certain percentage of the nominal assets attributable toof such Series’(including notional assets),Series, calculated on a daily basis. The total amount of assets of a series allocated to trading advisors and/or reference programs, including (i) actual funds deposited in accounts directed by the trading advisors or deposited as margin in respect of swaps or other derivative instruments referencing a reference program plus (ii) any notional equity allocated to the trading advisors and any reference programs, is referred to herein as the “nominal assets” of the series. The annual rate of the management fee is: 0.5%-1.0% for the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series); 0.75%Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3, 1.0% for the Equinox Frontier DiversifiedBalanced Fund (formerly Frontier Diversified Series);Class 1a and Class 2a, 2.0% for the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund Class 1a and Class 2a and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series),0.75% for Equinox Frontier WintonDiversified Fund, (formerly Winton Series); 2.5% for the Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series) and Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series); and 2.0%-3.5%3.5% for the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series).Class 1 and Class 2. The Managing Owner may pay all or a portion of such management fees to the Trading Advisor(s) and/or waive (up to the percentage specified) any such management fee to the extent any related management fee is paid by a trading company or estimated management fee is embedded in a swap or other derivative instrument. Any management fee embedded in a swap or other derivative instrument may be greater or less than the management fee that would otherwise be charged to the series by the Managing Owner. As of the date of this Form 10-K, the trading advisor for a series that has invested in a swap has not received any management fees directly from the series for such swap, and instead the relevant trading advisor receives compensation via the fees embedded in the swap.

The management fee as a percentage of the applicable series’ net asset value will be greater than the percentage indicated above to the extent that the nominal assets of the series exceeds its net asset value. The managing owner expects that the nominal assets of each Series.series will generally be maintained at a level in excess of the net asset value of such series and such excess may be substantial to the extent the managing owner deems necessary to achieve the desired level of volatility.

Incentive Fees

Some Series pay to the Managing Owner an incentive fee of a certain percentage of new net trading profits generated by such Series, monthly or quarterly. Because the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) may each employ multiple Trading Advisors, these Series will pay the Managing Owner a monthly incentive fee calculated on a Trading Advisor by Trading Advisor basis. It is therefore possible that in any given period these Series may pay incentive fees to the Managing Owner for one or more Trading Advisors while each of these Series as a whole experiences losses. The incentive fee is 25% for the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), and Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) and 20% for the Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Winton Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund (formerly Frontier Select Series) and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series).Fund. The Managing Owner may pay all or a portion of such incentive fees to the Trading Advisor(s) for such Series.

Interest Income

Aggregate interest income from all sources, including assets held at clearing brokers, of up to 2% (annualized) is paid to the Managing Owner by the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) (Class 1 and Class 2 only), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Winton Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series).Fund. For the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity

Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), and Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) (Class 1a and Class 2a only) 20% of the total interest allocated to each Series is paid to the Managing Owner.

Other Fees

The Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) (Classes 1, 2 and 3), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Winton Series) and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series) pays to the Managing Owner a monthly trading fee, or FCM Fee, up to 1/12th of 0.75% of such Series’ NAV, calculated daily. The Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) (Classes 1a and 2a) and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series) pays to the Managing Owner a monthly trading fee, or FCM Fee, up to 1/12th of 2.25% and a custodial/due diligence fee of 1/12th of 0.12% of such Series’ NAV, calculated daily. Also, a monthly service fee equal to 3.0% of the NAV, calculated daily, is paid to the Managing Owner. The Managing Owner pays the service fee to Selling Agents to assist in the making of offers and sales of Units and provide customary ongoing services including advising Limited Owners.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Executive Committee and Unitholders

Equinox Frontier Funds (formerly The Frontier Fund)

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition, including the condensed schedules of investments, of the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Winton Series), and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series) of Equinox Frontier Funds (formerly The Frontier Fund) (collectively, the Series) as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012,2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in owners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013.2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Series are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Series’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, Equinox Frontier Select Fund, Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund of Equinox Frontier Funds as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012,2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013,2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Series of Equinox Frontier Funds (Formerly The Frontier Fund)

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Purpose

Equinox Frontier Funds, (formerly The Frontier Fund), which is referred to in this report as the “Trust”, was formed on August 8, 2003, as a Delaware statutory trust. Please refer to the consolidated financial statements of the Trust included within this annualperiodic report. The Trust is a multi-advisor commodity pool, as described in Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) Regulation § 4.10(d)(2). The Trust has authority to issue separate series, or each, a Series, of units of beneficial interest (the “Units”) pursuant to the requirements of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, as amended (the “Trust Act”). The assets of each Series are valued and accounted for separately from the assets of other Series. The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). It is managed by its Managing Owner,managing owner, Equinox Fund Management, LLC.LLC (the “Managing Owner”).

Purchasers of Units are limited owners of the Trust (“Limited Owners”) with respect to beneficial interests of the Series’ Units purchased. The Trust Act provides that, except as otherwise provided in the second amended and restated declaration of trust and trust agreement dated December 9, 2013, by and among the Managing Owner, Wilmington Trust Company as trustee and the unitholders, as may be amended from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”), unitholders in a Delaware statutory trust will have the same limitation of liability as do stockholders of private corporations organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Trust Agreement confers substantially the same limited liability, and contains the same limited exceptions thereto, as would a limited partnership agreement for a Delaware limited partnership engaged in like transactions as the Trust. In addition, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Managing Owner of the Trust is liable for obligations of a Series in excess of that Series’ assets. Limited Owners do not have any such liability. The Managing Owner will make contributions to the Series of the Trust necessary to maintain at least a 1% interest in the aggregate capital, profits and losses of the combined Series of the Trust.

The Trust, in relation to the Series, has been organized to pool assets of investor funds for the purpose of trading in the United States (“U.S.”) and international markets for currencies, interest rates, stock indices, agricultural and energy products, precious and base metals and other commodities. The Trust, in relation to the Series, may also engage in futures contracts, forwards, option contracts and other interest in derivative instruments, including swap contracts (“Swaps”).

As of December 9, 2013, the Balanced Series of the Trust became known as the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, the Frontier Diversified Series of the Trust became known as the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, the Frontier Heritage Series became known as Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, the Frontier Masters Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, the Frontier Select Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Select Fund, and the Winton Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund.

The Trust has seven (7) separate and distinct Series of Units issued and outstanding: Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Frontier Winton Series), and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), (each a “Series” and collectively, the “Series”). The Currency Series ceased trading on April 18, 2013 and the TBG Institutional Series ceased trading on May 23, 2013. The Trust, with respect to the Series, may issue additional Series of Units.

The Trust, with respect to each Series:

 

engages in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forwardforwards (including interbank foreign currencies), options contracts and other derivative instruments (including swap contracts), and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions;

allocates funds to a limited liability trading company or companies (“Trading Company”). Except as otherwise described in these notes, each Trading Company has one-year renewable contracts with its own independent commodity trading advisor(s), or each, a Trading Advisor, that will manage all or a portion of such Trading Company’s assets and make the trading decisions for the assets of each Series vested in such Trading Company. Each Trading Company will segregate its assets from any other Trading Company;

 

maintains separate, distinct records for each Series, and accounts for the assets of each Series separately from the other Series;

 

calculates the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of its Units for each Series separately from the other Series;

 

has an investment objective of increasing the value of each Series’ Units over the long term (capital appreciation), while managing risk and volatility; further, to offer exposure to the investment programs of individual Trading Advisors and to specific instruments (currencies);instruments;

 

maintains each Series of Units in three orwith between two to six sub-classes—Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, Class 2a, Class 3, and Class 3a. Investors who have purchased Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series are charged a service fee of up to three percent (3.0%) annually of the NAV of each Unit purchased, for the benefit of Selling Agentsselling agents selling such Class 1 or Class 1a Units. The initial service fee, which is amortized monthly at an annual rate of up to three percent (3.0%) of the average daily NAV of Class 1 or Class 1a of such Series, is prepaid to Equinox Fund Management, LLC (the “Managing Owner”)the Managing Owner by each Series, and paid to the selling agents by the Managing Owner in the month following sale; provided, however, that investors who redeem all or a portion of their Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series during the first twelve (12) months following the effective date of their purchase are subject to a redemption fee of up to three percent (3.0%) of the NAV at which such investor redeemed to reimburse the Managing Owner for the then-unamortized balance of the prepaid initial service fee. With respect to Class 2 and Class 2a Units of any Series, the Managing Owner pays an ongoing service fee to Selling Agentsselling agents of up to one half percent (0.5%) annually of the NAV of each Class 2 or Class 2a Unit (of which 0.25% will be charged to Limited Owners holding Class 2 Units of the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund (formerly Frontier Diversified Series) and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series) or Class 2a Units of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series)) soldsold) until such Class 2 or Class 2a Units which are subject to the fee limitation are reclassified as Class 3 or Class 3a Units of the applicable Series. The Managing Owner may also pay Selling Agentsselling agents certain additional fees and expenses for administrative and other services rendered and expenses incurred by such Selling Agents;selling agents; and

 

all payments made to Selling Agentsselling agents who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and their associated persons that constitute underwriting compensation will be subject to the limitations set forth in Rule 2310(b)(4)(B)(ii) (formerly Rule 2810(b)(4)(B)(ii)) of the Conduct Rules of FINRA (“Rule 2310”). An investor’s Class 1 Units or Class 2 Units of any Series, or Class 1a Units or Class 2a Units of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) or Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) will be classified as Class 3 or Class 3a Units of such Series, as applicable, when the Managing Owner determines that the fee limitation set forth in Rule 2310 with respect to such Units has been reached or will be reached. No service fees are paid with respect to Class 3 or Class 3a Units. Units of any Class in a Series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, on a daily basis, at the then current NAV per Unit for such Series on the day of the week after the date the Managing Owner is in receipt of a redemption request for at least one (1) Business Day to be received by the Managing Owner prior to 4:00 PM in New York.

The assets of any particular Series include only those funds and other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Trust, with respect to the Series, on account of and for the benefit of that Series. Under the “Inter-Series Limitation on Liability” expressly provided for under Section 3804(a) of the Trust Act, separate and

distinct records of the cash and equivalents, although pooled for maximizing returns, isare maintained in the books and records of each Series.

As of December 31, 2013,2014, the Trust, with respect to the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Frontier Winton Series) and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series) separates Units into three separate Classes—Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. The Trust, with respect to the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) and the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) separates Units into a maximum of six separate Classes—Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 1a, Class 2a and Class 3a. It is expected that between 10% and 30% of each Series’ assets normally will be invested in one or more Trading Companies to be committed as margin for trading positions, but from time to time these percentages may be substantially more or less. The remainders of each Series’ assets are maintained at the Trust level for cash management. Each of the respective Series has invested monies into pooled cash management assets which have included purchases of U.S. Treasury Securities and custom time deposits. Each Series’ ownership in these investments is based on its percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets on the reporting date.

During July 2012, Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) Class 1 Units and Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) Class 1a Units ceased Trading Operations and all remaining Units were exchanged for Class 3 Units and Class 3a Units, respectively.

As of December 31, 2013,2014, Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Winton Series) has invested a portion of its assets in a single Trading Company, and a single Trading Advisor manages 100% of the assets invested in such Trading Company. Each of the remaining series haveSeries has invested a portion of its assets in several different Trading Companies and one or more Trading Advisors may manage the assets invested in such Trading Companies.

In November 2010, the Equinox Frontier Select Fund (formerly Frontier Select Series) invested a portion of its assets in Berkeley Quantitative Colorado Fund LLC, an unaffiliated company, managed by an affiliate of Berkeley Quantitative L.P. Through this investment, Berkeley Quantitative L.P. became a commodity trading advisor to the Series. This investment was liquidated on March 20, 2012.

The Trust has entered into agreements, which provide for the indemnification of futures clearing brokers, currency trading companies, and commodity trading advisers, among others, against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of their individual obligations under such agreements, except for gross negligence or bad faith.

In September 2009, the Trust invested approximately $100 million in custom time deposits with U.S. Bank N.A. The time deposits earned a guaranteed fixed interest rate of 2.17% and matured six months from the deposit date and were subject to automatic six-month rollovers through October 2014. In April 2010, the Trust invested approximately $50 million in custom time deposits with U.S. Bank N.A. The time deposits earned a guaranteed fixed interest rate of 2.40% and matured six months from the deposit date and were subject to automatic six-month rollovers through October 2015. Custom time deposits were allocated to each Series based on their percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets as of the reporting date. The Series of the Trust valued the custom time deposits at face value plus accrued interest as it is considered a deposit account under paragraph 7.49 of theInvestment Company Audit Guide, and accordingly, this deposit is not subject to ASC 820. All three tranches of the custom time deposits described above have been redeemed as of December 31, 2013. Proceeds of redeemed time deposits were used to fund counterparty margin requirements, investor redemptions from the Trust, or other operating needs of the Trust.

Credit Default Swaps—The Series of the Trust invested in credit default swaps for the purpose of mitigating part of the risk of concentration of deposits with U.S. Bank National Association to other major financial institutions. See Note 4. Credit Default Swaps were allocated to each Series based on their percentage ownership in the

pooled cash management assets as of the reporting date. Credit Default Swaps were reported at fair value based upon counterparty value per the valuation policy. The Series of the Trust recorded the daily change in fair value in the statements of operations as net unrealized gain/(loss) on swap contracts. All Credit Default Swaps expired during March 2012.

Receivable From Futures Commission Merchants—The Series of the Trust deposits assets with a FCM subject to CFTC regulations and various exchange and broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of cash with such FCM. The Trust, with respect to the Series, earns interest income on its assets deposited with the FCM.

Investment Transactions—Futures, options on futures, forward and swap contracts are recorded on a trade date basis and realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the statements of financial condition as open trade equity (deficit) as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with ASC 210,Balance Sheet (“ASC 210”) and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-01,Balance Sheet (Topic 210).

Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statements of operations. Fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based upon exchange settlement prices. Fair value of non-exchange-traded contracts is based on third party quoted dealer values on the interbank market. For U.S. Treasury securities, interest is recognized in the period earned and the instruments are marked-to-market daily based on third party information. Custom time deposits are valued at face value plus accrued interest and the interest income is recognized in the period earned. Transaction costs are recognized as incurred and reflected separately in the statements of operations.

Foreign currency transactions—The Series’ functional currency is the U.S. dollar, however, they transact business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Series do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized or unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Allocation of Earnings—Each Series of the Trust may maintain threebetween two or six classes of Units—Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 1a, Class 2a and Class 3a). All classes have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that fees charged to a Class or Series differ as described below. Revenues, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized trading gains and losses of each Series are allocated daily to Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, Class 2a, Class 3 and Class 3a Units based on each Class’ respective owners’ capital balances as applicable to the classes maintained by the Series.

Each Series allocates funds to an affiliated Trading Company, or Companies, of the Trust. Each Trading Company allocates all of its daily trading gains or losses to the Series in proportion to each Series’ ownership trading level interest in the Trading Company, adjusted on a daily basis (except for Trading Advisors and other investments such as Swaps that are directly allocated to a specific series). The value of all open contracts and cash held at clearing brokers is similarly allocated to the Series in proportion to each Series’ funds allocated to the Trading Company, or Companies.

Payments by the Managing Owner—The Managing Owner may make discretionary payments to a Series related to a variety of factors, including investment losses to reimburse the effect of a loss on a portfolio investment which has been caused by a situation outside the Trust’s, or its affiliates’, direct control. Such payments will be made on a discretionary basis and will be disclosed in the statement of operations as a net increase from payments by managing owner. These payments are in accordance with the Trust agreement on a discretionary basis as determined by the Managing Owner. During 2013, no payments were made on a discretionary basis.

Investments and Swaps—The Trust, with respect to the Series, records investment transactions on a trade date basis and all investments are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reported as a component of realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on investments in the statements of operations. Certain Series of the Trust strategically invest a portion or all of their assets in total return Swaps, selected at the discretion of the Managing Owner. Swaps are privately negotiated contracts designed to provide investment returns linked to those produced by one or more underlying investment

products or indices. In a typical Swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on one or more particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the amount of value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular investment, or in a “basket” of securities. The valuation of swap contracts requires significant estimates. Swap contracts are reported at fair value basis upon daily reports from the counterparty. Swap contracts are reported at fair value basis upon daily reports from the counterparty. The Managing Owner values the investments of based on the CTA’s estimated position information on a same-trading day basis. The Managing Owner reviews and approves current day pricing of the CTA positions, as received from the counterparty which includes intra-day volatility and volume and daily index performance, that is used to determine a daily fair value NAV for the swap contracts. This fair value is corroborated by valuations provided by a third party pricing service on a daily basis. The pricing service, utilizing proprietary model-intensive methodologies, selects and implements the pricing model appropriate for each swap valuation. The pricing service does not provide detail of the pricing model to management. The Managing Owner engages, via inquiry and review of methodology documentation, with the service provider to gain an understanding of the valuation model selected, the components of the model, both observable and unobservable; and quality control testing procedures in place.

Income Taxes—The Trust, with respect to the Series, applies the provisions of ASC 740Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trust, with respect to the Series’, financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Trust’s level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Managing Owner has concluded there is no tax expense, interest or penalties to be recorded by the Trust, with respect to the Series. The 20102011 through 20132014 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

In the opinion of the Managing Owner, (i) the Trust, with respect to the Series, is treated as a partnership for Federalfederal income tax purposes and, assuming that at least 90% of the gross income of the Trust constitutes “qualifying income” within the meaning of Section 7704(d) of the Code, the Trust is not a publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation, and (ii) the discussion set forth in the Prospectus under the heading “Federal Income Tax Consequences” correctly summarizes the material Federalfederal income tax consequences as of the date of the Prospectus to potential U.S. Limited Owners of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Units of the Trust.

Fees and Expenses—All management fees, incentive fees, service fees and trading fees of the Trust, with respect to the Series, are paid to the Managing Owner. It is the responsibility of the Managing Owner to pay all Trading Advisor management and incentive fees, Selling Agent Serviceselling agent service fees and all other operating expenses and continuing offering costs of the Trust, with respect to the Series.

Service Fees—The Trust may maintain each Series of Units in three orbetween two to six sub-classes—Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, Class 2a, Class 3, and Class 3a. Investors who have purchased Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series are charged a service fee of up to three percent (3.0%) annually of the NAV of each Unit purchased, for the benefit of selling agents selling such Class 1 or Class 1a Units. The initial service fee, which is amortized monthly at an annual rate of up to three percent (3.0%) of the average daily NAV of Class 1 or Class 1a of such Series, is prepaid to the Managing Owner by each Series, and paid to the selling agents by the Managing Owner in the

month following sale; provided, however, that investors who redeem all or a portion of their Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series during the first twelve (12) months following the effective date of their purchase are subject to a redemption fee of up to three percent (3.0%) of the NAV at which such investor redeemed to reimburse the Managing Owner for the then-unamortized balance of the prepaid initial service fee. With respect to Class 2 and Class 2a Units of any Series, the Managing Owner pays an ongoing service fee to Selling Agentsselling agents of up to one half percent (0.5%) annually of the NAV of each Class 2 or Class 2a Unit (of which 0.25% will be charged to Limited Owners holding Class 2 Units of the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund (formerly Frontier Diversified Series) and Equinox Frontier

Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series) or Class 2a Units of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series)) soldsold) until such Class 2 or Class 2a Units which are subject to the fee limitation are reclassified as Class 3 or Class 3a Units of the applicable Series for administrative purposes. The Managing Owner may also pay Selling Agentsselling agents certain additional fees and expenses for administrative and other services rendered and expenses incurred by such Selling Agents.selling agents.

These service fees are part of the offering costs of the Trust, with respect to the Series, which include registration and filing fees, legal and blue sky expenses, accounting and audit, printing, marketing support and other offering costs which are borne by the Managing Owner. With respect to the service fees, the initial service fee (for the first 12 months) relating to a purchase of Class 1 and Class 1a Units by an investor is prepaid by the Managing Owner to the relevant selling agent in the month following such purchase and is reimbursed for such payment by the Series monthly in arrears in an amount based upon a corresponding percentage of NAV, calculated daily. Consequently, the Managing Owner bears the risk of the downside and the benefit of the upside potential of any difference between the amount of the initial service fee prepaid by it and the amount of the reimbursement thereof, which may result from variations in NAV over the following 12 months.

Pending Owner Additions—Funds received for new subscriptions and for additions to existing owner interests are recorded as capital additions at the NAV per unit of the second business day following receipt.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In December of 2011, FASB issued new guidance that requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. FASB issued additional clarification to specify that the guidance applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria of the Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Series financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In JuneSeptember of 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-08 to (i) modify Topic 946 for determining whether an entity is an investment company; (ii) update the measurement requirements for noncontrolling interests in other investment companies; and (iii) require additional disclosures for investment companies under U.S. GAAP. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial positions or results of operations.

Reclassification –Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In February, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Trust’s financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. In May 2014 the FASB issued a final standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard, issued as FASB ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. A full retrospective or modified retrospective approach may be taken to adopt the guidance in the ASU. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

Reclassification—Certain amounts in the 20122013 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 20132014 presentation. None of the reclasses had an impact on the NAV or performance of the Series.

Subsequent Events—The Trust, with respect to the Series, follows the provisions of ASC 855,Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date and up through the date the financial statements are issued. No events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure have been identified.

3. Fair Value Measurements

In connection with the valuation of investments the Series apply ASC 820,Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides clarification that when a quoted price in an active market for the identical asset or liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASC 820 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of an asset or liability. ASC 820 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical asset or liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical asset or liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.

Level 1 Inputs

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs

Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the financial assetassets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar financial assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the financial assetassets or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs

Unobservable inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the financial asset.

The Trust, with respect to the Series, uses the following methodologies to value instruments within its financial asset portfolio at fair value:

Trading Securities. These instruments include U.S. Treasury securities and open trade equity positions (futures contracts) that are actively traded on public markets with quoted pricing for corroboration. U.S. Treasury securities and futures contracts, are reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs. Trading securities instruments further include open trade equity positions (trading options and currency forwards) that are quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not traded on active markets. Trading options and currency forwards are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs.

Swap Contracts. Certain Series of the Trust strategically invest a portion or all of their assets in total return Swaps, selected at the direction of the Managing Owner. Swaps are privately negotiated contracts designed to provide investment returns linked to those produced by one or more investment products or indices. In a typical Swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on one or more particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the amount of value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular investment, or in a “basket” of securities. Swap contracts are reported at fair value basis upon daily reports from the counterparty. Swap contracts are reported at fair value basis upon daily reports from the counterparty. The Managing Owner values the investments of based on the CTA’s estimated position information on a same-trading day basis. The Managing Owner reviews and approves current day pricing of the CTA positions, as received from the counterparty which includes intra-day volatility and volume and daily index performance, that is used to determine a daily fair value NAV for the swap contracts. The fair value is corroborated through the use of a third party pricing service (“pricing service”). The valuation requires significant estimates utilizing Level 3 inputs, corroborated by management

through the use of a third party pricing service (“pricing service”).service. The pricing service, utilizing proprietary model-intensive methodologies, selects and implements the pricing model appropriate for each swap valuation. The pricing service does not provide detail of the pricing model to management. The Managing Owner engages, via inquiry and review of methodology documentation, with the service provider to gain an understanding of the valuation model selected, the components of the model, both observable and unobservable;unobservable, and quality control testing procedures in place. The pricing service’s methodology includes performance of tolerance

testing on its valuation models to ensure consistency and reasonableness of the values derived. The tolerance testing includes valuing the components of the product separately, i.e. underlying asset, volatility, financing rates, and so forth. The tolerance testing is part of the initial valuation setup and the ongoing daily valuation process. The pricing service also has several layers of quality control including: engineering / reverse engineering process to understand each Swap and its subcomponent parts fully; comparative analysis against other valuations performed with similar composition and characteristics; review of output valuation against expectations based on observable price movements of underlying futures; and lastly, periodic review by a senior a financial engineer to ensure the design and function of the model is stable and performs as expected.

The Managing Owner has chartered a valuation committee to provide oversight of the valuation process for the Series. The valuation committee meets at least monthly to discuss the valuation process and any valuation issues that may arise. The valuation committee is comprised of senior members of the Managing Owner’s management team with varying areas of expertise that add value to the committee. The valuation committee reports to both the Managing Owner’s Investment Oversight and Risk Committee and the Trust’s Executive Committee. The committee further remains in communication with the Managing Owner’s Due Diligence Committee that provides ongoing counterparty risk monitoring of the swap counterparties. The committee monitors daily pricing provided by the swap counterparty and daily valuation provided by the third party pricing service. The valuation committee may request a price challenge if the daily valuation provided by the counterparty valuations differs significantly from the valuation obtained by the pricing service. The Managing Owner’s valuation committee monitors some additional input factors such as liquidity, volatility, and counterparty risk in order to further review the valuations provided by the pricing service.

Investment in Unconsolidated Trading Companies. This investment represents the fair value of the allocation of cash, futures, forwards, options and swaps to each respective Series relative to its trading allocations from unconsolidated Trading Companies. TheA Series may redeem theirits investment in any of the trading companiesTrading Companies on a daily basis at the Trading Company’s stated net asset value and thereforevalue. Each of the inputs qualify for Level 2. However, as the Series, all of which are under the same management as the Trading Companies, havehas access to the underlying positions of the Trading Companies, and as such, the level determination areis reflected on that look-through basis. As such, the Series report investmentsAny redemption of an investment in unconsolidateda Trading Companies at fair value using the corresponding inputsCompany classified as Level 3 will reflect that classification of the underlying securities of the Trading Companies which results in the Series reporting the corresponding Level determination from the inputs ofinvestment owned by the Trading Company.

4. Swaps

In addition to authorizing Trading Advisors to manage pre-determined investment levels of futures and forward contracts, certain Series of the Trust will strategically invest a portion or all of their assets in total return Swaps, selected at the direction of the Managing Owner. Total return Swaps are privately negotiated contracts designed to provide investment returns linked to those produced by one or more investment products or indices. In a typical total return Swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on one or more particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the amount or value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular investment, or in a “basket” of securities.

Each Series invested in Credit Default Swaps (“CDS”) with highly-rated counterparties as part of its portfolio. CDS’s are over-the-counter investment instruments designed to mitigate counterparty risk and generally pay upon the happening of a credit default of a counterparty. The CDS were allocated to each Series based on their percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets at U.S. Bank National Association as of the reporting date. All Credit Default Swaps expired during March, 2012.

Each Series’ investment in Swaps will likely differ substantially over time due to cash flows, portfolio management decisions and market movements. The Swaps serve to diversify the investment holdings of each Series and to provide access to programs and advisors that would not be otherwise available to the Series, and are not used for hedging purposes.

The Managing Owner follows a procedure in selecting well-established financial institutions which the Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, considers to be reputable, reliable, financially responsible and well established to act as swap counterparties. The procedure includes due diligence review of documentation on all new and existing financial institution counterparties prior to initiation of the relationship, and quarterly ongoing review during the relationship, to ensure that counterparties meet the Managing Owner’s minimum credit requirements, the counterparty average rating being no less than an investment grade rating as defined by the rating agencies.

5. Investments in Unconsolidated Trading Companies

Investments in unconsolidated trading companies represent cash and open trade equity invested in the Trading Companies by each Series and cumulative trading profits or losses allocated to each Series by the Trading

Companies. Trading Companies allocate trading profits or losses on the basis of the proportion of each Series’ capital allocated for trading to each respective Trading Company, which bears no relationship to the amount of cash invested by a Series in the Trading Company. The Trading Companies are valued using the equity method of accounting, which approximates fair value.

The following table summarizes each of the Series’ investments in unconsolidated Trading Companies as of December 31, 20132014 and 20122013:

6. Transactions with Affiliates

The Managing Owner contributes funds to the Trust, with respect to the Series, in order to have a 1% interest in the aggregate capital, profits and losses of all Series and in return will receive units designated as general units in the Series in which the Managing Owner invests such funds. The general units may only be purchased by the Managing Owner and may be subject to no advisory fees or advisory fees at reduced rates. Otherwise, the general units hold the same rights as the limited units. The Managing Owner is required to maintain at least a 1% interest (“Minimum Purchase Commitment”) in the aggregate capital, profits and losses of all Series so long as it is acting as the Managing Owner of the Trust. Such contribution was made by the Managing Owner before trading commenced for the Trust and will be maintained throughout the existence of the Trust, and the Managing Owner will make such purchases as are necessary to effect this requirement. Additionally, the Managing Owner agreed with certain regulatory bodies to maintain a 1% interest specifically in the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) Class 1a Units and Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) Class 2a Units, aggregated, and each of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund (formerly Frontier Diversified Series) and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series).Fund. The 1% interest in these specific Series is included in computing the Minimum Purchase Commitment in aggregate capital. In addition to the General Units the Managing Owner receives in respect of its Minimum Purchase Commitment, the Managing Owner may purchase Limited Units in any Series as a Limited Owner. Principals of the Managing Owner or affiliates are allowed to own beneficial interests in the Trust, with respect to the Series, as well. All Units purchased by the Managing Owner are held for investment purposes only and not for resale. The Managing Owner may make purchases or redemptions at any time on the same terms as any Limited Owner. The Trust has and will continue to have certain relationships with the Managing Owner and its affiliates.

Expenses

Management Fees—Each Series of Units pays to the Managing Owner a monthly management fee equal to a certain percentage of such Series’the nominal assets attributable toof such Series, (including notional assets), calculated on a daily basis. The total amount of assets of a series allocated to trading advisors and/or reference programs, including (i) actual funds deposited in accounts directed by the trading advisors or deposited as margin in respect of swaps or other derivative instruments referencing a reference program plus (ii) any notional equity allocated to the trading advisors and any reference programs, is referred to herein as the “nominal assets” of the series. The annual rate of the management fee isis: 0.5% for the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3, 1.0% for the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) Class 1a and Class 2a, 2.0% for the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Winton Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) Class 1a and Class 2a and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), 0.75% for Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), 2.5% for the Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series) and Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and 3.5% for the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) Class 1 and Class 2. The Managing Owner may pay all or a portion of such management fees to the Trading Advisor(s) and/or waive (up to the percentage specified) any such management fee to the extent any related management fee is paid by a trading company or estimated management fee is embedded in a swap or other derivative instrument. Any management fee embedded in a swap or other derivative instrument may be greater or less than the management fee that would otherwise be charged to the series by the Managing Owner. As of the date of this Form 10-K, the trading advisor for a series that has invested in a swap has not received any management fees directly from the series for such Series.swap, and instead the relevant trading advisor receives compensation via the fees embedded in the swap.

The management fee as a percentage of the applicable series’ net asset value will be greater than the percentage indicated above to the extent that the nominal assets of the series exceeds its net asset value. The managing owner expects that the nominal assets of each series will generally be maintained at a level in excess of the net asset value of such series and such excess may be substantial to the extent the managing owner deems necessary to achieve the desired level of volatility.

Trading Fees—In connection with each Series’ trading activities, the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) (Classes 1, 2 and 3), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Winton Series) and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series) pays to the Managing Owner a trading fee, or FCM Fee, up to

0.75% of such Series’ NAV, calculated daily. The Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) (Classes 1a and 2a) and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series) pays to the Managing Owner a trading fee, or FCM Fee, up to 2.25% and a custodial/due diligence fee of 0.12% of such Series’ NAV, calculated daily.

Incentive Fees—Some Series pay to the Managing Owner an incentive fee of a certain percentage of new net trading profits generated by such Series, monthly or quarterly. Because the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund

(formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) may each employ multiple Trading Advisors, these Series will pay the Managing Owner a monthly incentive fee calculated on a Trading Advisor by Trading Advisor basis. It is therefore possible that in any given period the Series may pay incentive fees to the Managing Owner for one or more Trading Advisors while each of these Series as a whole experiences losses. The incentive fee is 25% for the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) and the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund (formerly Frontier Diversified Series) and 20% for the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Winton Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series).Fund. The Managing Owner may pay all or a portion of such incentive fees to the Trading Advisor(s) for such Series.

Service Fees—In addition, with respect to Class 1 and Class 1a Units of each Series, as applicable, the Series pays monthly or service fees to the Managing Owner equalof up to 3% of NAV annually, which the Managing Owner pays to selling agents of the Trust, with respect to the Series.

The following table summarizes fees earned by the Managing Owner for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 2012 and 2011.2012.

(1)Interest income and expenses per unit are calculated by dividing these amounts by the average number of units outstanding during the period. The net gain/(loss) on investments, net of non-controlling interests is a balancing amount necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per unit with the other per unit information.

(2)Impact of incentive fee computed using average net assets, otherwise computed using average units outstanding during the period prior to the effects of any non-controlling transactions. An owner’s total returns may vary from the above returns based on the timing of contributions and withdrawals. Total returns are not annualized.
(3)Annualized with the exception of incentive fees.
(4)Expense ratios do not reflect interest allocated to the Managing Owner. SeeOwner as such expenses are not included in the Statements of Operations of the Series, see footnote 6.
(5)Class 3 began operations on February 24, 2014.
(6)Class 1AP was created as a sub-class of Class 1 as of July 31, 2014, and it has been presented separately because the fees applicable to it are different from those applicable to Class 1 generally.

(6)Amounts recorded in the Statements of Operations under Net change in open trade equity (deficit).realized gain/(loss) of furutres, forwards and options.

Certain financial instruments and derivative instruments are eligible for offset in the statements of financial condition under GAAP. The Series’ open trade equity/(deficit), options written, and receivables from Futures Commissions Merchantsfutures commission merchants (each, an “FCM”) are subject to master netting arrangements and collateral arrangements and meet the U.S. GAAP guidance to qualify for offset. A master netting arrangement with a counterparty creates a right of offset for amounts due to and from that same counterparty that is enforceable in the event of a default or bankruptcy. The Series’ policy is to recognize amounts subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis on the statements of financial condition.

The following tables present gross and net information about the Series’ assets and liabilities subject to master netting arrangements as disclosed on the statements of financial condition as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012.2013.

9. Trading Activities and Related Risks

The purchase and sale of futures and options on futures contracts require margin deposits with Futures Commission Merchants (each, an “FCM”).FCMs. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property (for example, U.S. Treasurytreasury bills) deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM’s segregation requirements. In the event of an FCM’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than the total of cash and other property deposited.

The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the statements of financial condition, may result in future obligation or loss in excess of the amount paid by the Series for a particular investment. Each Trading Company expects to trade in futures, options, forward and swap contracts and will therefore be a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures positions held by a Trading Company in respect of any Series at the same time, and if the Trading Advisor(s) of such Trading Company are unable to offset such futures interests positions, such Trading Company could lose all of its assets and the holders of Units of such Series would realize a 100% loss. The Managing Owner will seek to minimize market risk through real-time monitoring

of open positions and the level of diversification of each Trading Advisor’s portfolio. It is anticipated that any Trading Advisor’s margin-to-equity ratio will typically not exceed approximately 35% although the actual ratio could be higher or lower from time to time.

In addition to market risk, trading futures, forward and swap contracts entails credit risk in that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to a Trading Company. The counterparty for futures contracts traded in the United States and on most foreign exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. Some non-U.S. exchanges, in contrast to U.S. exchanges, are principals’ markets in which performance is the responsibility only of the individual counterparty with whom the Trading Company has entered into the transaction, and not of the exchange or clearing corporation. In these kinds of markets, there is risk of bankruptcy or other failure or refusal to perform by the counterparty.

In the case of forward contracts traded on the interbank market and swaps, neither is traded on exchanges. The counterparty is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The Managing Owner expects the Trading Advisors to trade only with those counterparties which it believes to be creditworthy. All positions of each Trading Company will be valued each day on a mark-to-market basis. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to any Trading Company.

The Managing Owner has established procedures to actively monitor and minimize market and credit risks. The Limited Owners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.

10. Indemnifications and Guarantees noted in Management Discussion and Analysis

The Trust has entered into agreements, which provide for the indemnification of futures clearing brokers, and commodity trading advisers, among others, against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of their individual obligations under such agreements, except for gross negligence or bad faith. The

Trust has had no prior claims or payments pursuant to these agreements. The Trust’s individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote. Maximum exposure is unfulfilled obligations of the Series up to the amount of equity at risk with UBS of the referenced Series as allocated from the Trading Company. The Series have not recorded any liability for the guarantees in the accompanying financial statements as it expects any possibility of losses to be remote.

The Trust has guaranteed the obligations of the Trading Companies under the customer agreements with UBS Securities as Clearing Broker. In the event that one Series of the Trust is unable to meet its obligations to UBS Securities, the assets of the other Series will be available to UBS Securities as part of the guarantee, but only to the extent of such Series’ pro rata allocation to the Trading Company. The Series have not recorded any liability for the indemnifications in the accompanying financial statement, as it expects any possibility of losses to be remote.

11. Subsequent Events

On November 26, 2014, the Trust’s portfolio management team approved an allocation change in an Emil Van Essen trading program that was not fully implemented as intended. As a result, certain series who invested in Emil Van Essen were not allocated sufficient gains and certain other series who invested in Emil Van Essen suffered greater losses. In January 2015, the Managing Owner determined to make a payment to the affected investors within the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, in the aggregate amount of $1,247,752 to reimburse the effect of the missed gain or higher loss on such investors in the series, and such amount will be recorded in the Statements of Operations as net increase from payments by Managing Owner.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Executive Committee and Unitholders

Equinox Frontier Funds (formerly The Frontier Fund)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition, including the consolidated condensed schedules of investments, of Equinox Frontier Funds (formerly The Frontier Fund) (the Trust) as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012,2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in owners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013.2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equinox Frontier Funds as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012,2013, and the results of itstheir operations and itstheir cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013,2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Equinox Frontier Funds (Formerly The Frontier Fund)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Purpose

Equinox Frontier Funds, (formerly The Frontier Fund), which is referred to in this report as “the Trust”, was formed on August 8, 2003, as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is a multi-advisor commodity pool, as described in Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) Regulation § 4.10(d)(2). The Trust has authority to issue separate series, or each, a Series, of units of beneficial interest (the “Units”) pursuant to the requirements of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, as amended (the “Trust Act”). The assets of each Series are valued and accounted for separately from the assets of other Series. The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). It is managed by its Managing Owner,managing owner, Equinox Fund Management, LLC.LLC (the “Managing Owner”).

Purchasers of Units are limited owners of the Trust (“Limited Owners”) with respect to beneficial interests of the Series’ Units purchased. The Trust Act provides that, except as otherwise provided in the second amended and restated declaration of trust and trust agreement dated December 9, 2013, by and among the Managing Owner, Wilmington Trust Company as trustee and the unitholders, as amended from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”), unitholders in a Delaware statutory trust will have the same limitation of liability as do stockholders of private corporations organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Trust Agreement confers substantially the same limited liability, and contains the same limited exceptions thereto, as would a limited partnership agreement for a Delaware limited partnership engaged in like transactions as the Trust. In addition, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Managing Owner of the Trust is liable for obligations of a Series in excess of that Series’ assets. Limited Owners do not have any such liability. The Managing Owner will make contributions to the Series of the Trust necessary to maintain at least a 1% interest in the aggregate capital, profits and losses of all Series.

The Trust has been organized to pool assets of investor funds for the purpose of trading in the United States (“U.S.”) and international markets for currencies, interest rates, stock indices, agricultural and energy products, precious and base metals and other commodities. The Trust may also engage in futures contracts, forwards, option contracts and other interest in derivative instruments, including swap contracts (“Swaps”).

The Trust has seven (7) separate and distinct Series of Units issued and outstanding: Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Frontier Winton Series), and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), (each a “Series” and collectively, the “Series”). The Currency Series ceased trading on April 18, 2013 and the TBG Institutional Series ceased trading on May 23, 2013. The Trust financial statements are comprised of unitized Series which are consolidated into the Trust financial statements. However, the consolidated Trust does not issue units.

The Trust, with respect to each Series:

 

engages in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forwardforwards (including interbank foreign currencies), options contracts and other derivative instruments (including swap contracts), and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions;

 

allocates funds to a limited liability trading company or companies (“Trading Company” or “Trading Companies”). Except as otherwise described in these notes, each Trading Company has one-year renewable contracts with its own independent commodity trading advisor(s), or each, a Trading Advisor, that will manage all or a portion of such Trading Company’s assets and make the trading decisions for the assets of each Series vested in such Trading Company. Each Trading Company will segregate its assets from any other Trading Company;

portion of such Trading Company’s assets and make the trading decisions for the assets of each Series vested in such Trading Company. Each Trading Company will segregate its assets from any other Trading Company;

 

maintains separate, distinct records for each Series, and accounts for the assets of each Series separately from the other Series;

calculates the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of its Units for each Series separately from the other Series;

 

has an investment objective of increasing the value of each Series’ Units over the long term (capital appreciation), while managing risk and volatility; further, to offer exposure to the investment programs of individual Trading Advisors and to specific instruments;

 

maintains each Series of Units in three orbetween two to six sub-classes—Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, Class 2a, Class 3, and Class 3a. Investors who have purchased Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series are charged a service fee of up to three percent (3.0%) annually of the NAV of each Unit purchased, for the benefit of Selling Agentsselling agents selling such Class 1 or Class 1a Units. The initial service fee, which is amortized monthly at an annual rate of up to three percent (3.0%) of the average daily NAV of Class 1 or Class 1a of such Series, is prepaid to Equinox Fund Management, LLC (the “Managing Owner”)the Managing Owner by each Series, and paid to the selling agents by the Managing Owner in the month following sale; provided, however, that investors who redeem all or a portion of their Class 1 orand Class 1a Units of any Series during the first twelve (12) months following the effective date of their purchase are subject to a redemption fee of up to three percent (3.0%) of the NAV at which such investor redeemed to reimburse the Managing Owner for the then-unamortized balance of the prepaid initial service fee. With respect to Class 2 and Class 2a Units of any Series, the Managing Owner pays an ongoing service fee to Selling Agentsselling agents of up to one half percent (0.5%) annually of the NAV of each Class 2 or Class 2a Unit (of which 0.25% will be charged to Limited Owners holding Class 2 Units of the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series) or Class 2a Units of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series)) soldsold) until such Class 2 or Class 2a Units which are subject to the fee limitation are reclassified as Class 3 or Class 3a Units of the applicable Series. The Managing Owner may also pay Selling Agentsselling agents certain additional fees and expenses for administrative and other services rendered and expenses incurred by such Selling Agents;selling agents; and

 

all payments made to Selling Agentsselling agents who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and their associated persons that constitute underwriting compensation will be subject to the limitations set forth in Rule 2310(b)(4)(B)(ii) (formerly Rule 2810(b)(4)(B)(ii)) of the Conduct Rules of FINRA (“Rule 2310”). An investor’s Class 1 Units or Class 2 Units of any Series, or Class 1a Units or Class 2a Units of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) or Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) will be classified as Class 3 or Class 3a Units of such Series, as applicable, when the Managing Owner determines that the fee limitation set forth in Rule 2310 with respect to such Units has been reached or will be reached. No service fees are paid with respect to Class 3 or Class 3a Units. Units of any Class in a Series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, on a daily basis, at the then current NAV per Unit for such Series on the day of the week after the date the Managing Owner is in receipt of a redemption request for at least one (1) Business Day to be received by the Managing Owner prior to 4:00 PM in New York.

As of December 9, 2013, the Balanced Series of the Trust became known as the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, the Frontier Diversified Series of the Trust became known as the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, the Frontier Heritage Series became known as Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, the Frontier Masters Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, the Frontier Select Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Select Fund, and the Winton Series became known as the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund.

The assets of any particular Series include only those funds and other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Trust on account of and for the benefit of that Series. Under the “Inter-Series Limitation on Liability” expressly provided for under Section 3804(a) of the Trust Act, separate and distinct records of the cash and equivalents, although pooled for maximizing returns, is maintained in the books and records of each Series.

As of December 31, 2013,2014, the Trust, with respect to the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Frontier Winton Series) and Equinox Frontier Heritage

Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series) separates Units into three separate Classes—Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. The Trust, with respect to the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) and the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) separates Units into a maximum of six separate Classes—Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 1a, Class 2a and Class 3a. It is expected that between 10% and 30% of each Series’ assets normally will be invested in one or more Trading Companies to be committed as margin for trading positions, but from time to time these percentages may be substantially more or less. The remainders of each Series’ assets are maintained at the Trust level for cash management. Each of the respective Series has invested monies into pooled cash management assets which have included purchases of U.S. Treasury Securities, certificates of deposit and custom time deposits.Securities. Each Series’ ownership in these investments is based on its percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets on the reporting date.

Each Series of the Trust may invest a portion of its assets in a single Trading Company or in several different Trading Companies and may have multiple Trading Advisors that manage the assets invested in such Trading Companies.

During July 2012, Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) Class 1 Units and Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) Class 1a Units ceased Trading Operations and all remaining Units were exchanged for Class 3 Units and Class 3a Units, respectively.

In November 2010, the Equinox Frontier Select Fund (formerly Frontier Select Series) of the Trust invested a portion of its assets in Berkeley Quantitative Colorado Fund LLC, an unaffiliated company, managed by an affiliate of Berkeley Quantitative L.P. Through this investment, Berkeley Quantitative L.P. became a commodity trading advisor to the Trust. The investment was liquidated March 20, 2012.

The Trust has entered into agreements, which provide for the indemnification of futures clearing brokers, currency trading companies, and commodity trading advisers, among others, against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of their individual obligations under such agreements, except for gross negligence or bad faith.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following are the significant accounting policies of the Trust.

Basis of Presentation—The Trust followsfollow U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), to ensure consistent reporting of financial condition, condensed schedules of investments, results of operations, changes in capital and cash flows. The Trust is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946.

Consolidation—Each Series of the Trust invests in Trading Companies who authorize certain Trading Advisors to place trades and manage assets at pre-determined investment levels. The Trading Companies were organized by the Managing Owner for the purpose of investing in commodities interests and derivative instruments, and have no operating income or expenses, except for trading income and expenses, all of which is allocated to the Series. The Trading Companies and Series of the Trust are consolidated by the Trust.

Investment in Berkeley Quantitative Colorado Fund LLC—The Equinox Frontier Select Fund (formerly Frontier Select Series) of the Trust had an investment in the Berkeley Quantitative Colorado Fund LLC. The Berkeley Quantitative Colorado Fund LLC began operations on November 1, 2010. The Berkeley Quantitative Colorado Fund LLC was not consolidated into the financial statements of the Trust because the Trust has no control or transparency over the operations of the fund. This investment was shown on the consolidated statements of financial condition with the change in fair value shown in net unrealized gain/(loss) on the Berkeley Quantitative Colorado Fund LLC. This investment was liquidated on March 20, 2012.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP may require the Managing Owner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The valuation of swap contracts requires significant estimates as well as the valuation of certain other investments. Please refer to Note 3 for discussion of valuation methodology. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits held at banks with original maturities of three months or less. This cash is not restricted.

Interest Income—Aggregate interest income from all sources, including U.S. Treasury securities custom time deposits and assets held at Futures Commission Merchants (“FCM”futures commission merchants (each, an “FCM”), up to the first two percentage points or 20% of the aggregate percentage yield (annualized) is paid to the Managing Owner. All interest not paid to the Managing Owner is interest income to the Trust.Trust, and shown net on the consolidated statement of operations.

U.S. Treasury Securities—U.S. Treasury Securities are reported at fair value as Level 1 inputs under ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). The Trust values U.S. Treasury Securities at fair value and records the daily change in value in the consolidated statements of operations as net unrealized gain/(loss) on U.S. Treasury securities. Accrued interest is reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition as interest receivable.

Custom Time Deposits— In October 2008, the Trust invested approximately $272 million in custom time deposits with U.S. Bank N.A. The time deposits earn a guaranteed fixed interest rate of 3.75% and matured nine months from the deposit date and were subject to automatic six-month rollovers through October 2013. In September 2009, the Trust invested approximately $100 million in custom time deposits with U.S. Bank N.A. The time deposits earned a guaranteed fixed interest rate of 2.17% and matured six months from the deposit date and were subject to automatic six-month rollovers through October 2014. In April 2010, the Trust invested approximately $50 million in custom time deposits with U.S. Bank N.A. The time deposits earned a guaranteed fixed interest rate of 2.40% and matured six months from the deposit date and were subject to automatic six-month rollovers through October 2015. Custom time deposits were allocated to each Series based on their percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets as of the reporting date. The Series of the Trust valued the custom time deposits at face value plus accrued interest as it is considered a deposit account under paragraph 7.49 of theInvestment Company Audit Guide, and accordingly, this deposit is not subject to ASC 820. All three tranches of the custom time deposits described above have been redeemed as of December 31, 2013. Proceeds of redeemed time deposits were used to fund counterparty margin requirements, investor redemptions from the Trust, or other operating needs of the Trust.

Credit Default Swaps—The Series of the Trust invested in credit default swaps for the purpose of mitigating part of the risk of concentration of deposits with U.S. Bank National Association to other major financial institutions. See Note 4. Credit Default Swaps were allocated to each Series based on their percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets as of the reporting date. Credit Default Swaps were reported at fair value based upon counterparty value per the valuation policy. The Series of the Trust recorded the daily change in fair value in the statements of operations as net unrealized gain/(loss) on swap contracts. All Credit Default Swaps expired during March 2012.

Receivable From Futures Commission Merchants—The Trust deposits assets with a FCM subject to CFTC regulations and various exchange and broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of cash with such FCM. The Trust earns interest income on its assets deposited with the FCM.

Investment Transactions—Futures, options on futures, forward and swap contracts are recorded on a trade date basis and realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition as a net unrealized gain or loss, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with FASB ASC 210,Balance Sheet (“ASC 210”) and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-01,Balance Sheet (Topic 210).

Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based upon exchange settlement prices. Fair value of non-exchange-traded contracts is based on third party quoted dealer values on the interbank market. For U.S. Treasury securities, interest was recognized in the period earned and the instruments were marked-to-market daily based on third party information. Custom time deposits are valued at face value plus accrued interest and the interest income is recognized in the period earned. Transaction costs are recognized as incurred and reflected separately in the consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign currency transactions—The Series of the Trust’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar,dollar, however, they transact business in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.dollar. The Series of the Trust do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized or unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Allocation of Earnings—Each Series of the Trust may maintain three orbetween two to six classes of Units—Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 1a, Class 2a and Class 3a).3a. All classes have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that fees charged to a Class or Series differ as described below. Revenues, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized trading gains and losses of each Series are allocated daily to Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, Class 2a, Class 3 and Class 3a Units based on each Class’ respective owners’ capital balances as applicable to the classes maintained by the Series.

Payments by the Managing Owner—The Managing Owner may make discretionary payments to the Trust related to a variety of factors, including investment losses to reimburse the effect of a loss on a portfolio investment which has been caused by a situation outside the Trust’s, or it’s affiliates’, direct control. Such payments will be made on a discretionary basis and will be disclosed in the consolidated statement of operations as a net increase from payments by the Managing Owner. These payments are in accordance with the Trust agreement on a discretionary basis as determined by the Managing Owner.

Investments and Swaps—The Trust records investment transactions on a trade date basis and all investments are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reported as a component of realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on investments in the statements of operations. Certain Series of the Trust strategically invest a portion or all of their assets in total return Swaps, selected at the discretion of the Managing Owner. Swaps are privately negotiated contracts designed to provide investment returns linked to those produced by one or more underlying investment products or indices. In a typical Swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on one or more particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the amount of value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular investment, or in a “basket” of securities. The valuation of swap contracts requires significant estimates. Swap contracts are reported at fair value basis upon daily reports from the counterparty. Swap contracts are reported at fair value basis upon daily reports from the counterparty. The Managing Owner values the investments of based on the CTA’s estimated position information on asame-trading day basis. The Managing Owner reviews and approves current day pricing of the CTA positions, as

received from the counterparty which includes intra-day volatility and volume and daily index

performance, that is used to determine a daily fair value NAV for the swap contracts. This fair value is corroborated by valuations provided by a third party pricing service on a daily basis. The pricing service, utilizing proprietarymodel-intensive methodologies, selects and implements the pricing model appropriate for each swap valuation. The pricing service does not provide detail of the pricing model to management. The Managing Owner engages, via inquiry and review of methodology documentation, with the service provider to gain an understanding of the valuation model selected, the components of the model, both observable and unobservable; and quality control testing procedures in place.

Income Taxes—The Trust applies the provisions of ASC 740Income Taxes(“ASC 740”), which provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trust’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Trust’s level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Managing Owner has concluded there is no tax expense, interest or penalties to be recorded by the Trust for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 2012 and 2011.2012. The 20092011 through 20122014 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

In the opinion of the Managing Owner, (i) the Trust is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, assuming that at least 90% of the gross income of the Trust constitutes “qualifying income” within the meaning of Section 7704(d) of the Code, the Trust is not a publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation, and (ii) the discussion set forth in the Prospectus under the heading “Federal Income Tax Consequences” correctly summarizes the material Federal income tax consequences as of the date of the Prospectus to potential U.S. Limited Owners of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Units of the Trust.

Fees and Expenses—All management fees, incentive fees, service fees and trading fees of the Trust are paid to the Managing Owner. It is the responsibility of the Managing Owner to pay all Trading Advisor management and incentive fees, Selling Agent Service fees and all other operating expenses and continuing offering costs of the Trust.

Service Fees—The Trust may maintain each Series of Units in three orbetween two to six sub-classes—Class 1, Class 1a, Class 2, Class 2a, Class 3, and Class 3a. Investors who have purchased Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series are charged a service fee of up to three percent (3.0%) annually of the NAV of each Unit purchased, for the benefit of selling agents selling such Class 1 or Class 1a Units. The initial service fee, which is amortized monthly at an annual rate of up to three percent (3.0%) of the average daily NAV of Class 1 or Class 1a of such Series, is prepaid to the Managing Owner by each Series, and paid to the selling agents by the Managing Owner in the month following sale; provided, however, that investors who redeem all or a portion of their Class 1 or Class 1a Units of any Series during the first twelve (12) months following the effective date of their purchase are subject to a redemption fee of up to three percent (3.0%) of the NAV at which such investor redeemed to reimburse the Managing Owner for the then-unamortized balance of the prepaid initial service fee. With respect to Class 2 and Class 2a Units of any Series, the Managing Owner pays an ongoing service fee to Selling Agents of up to one half percent (0.5%) annually of the NAV of each Class 2 or Class 2a Unit (of which 0.25% will be charged to Limited Owners holding Class 2 Units of the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series) or Class 2a Units of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series)) soldsold) until such Class 2 or Class 2a Units which are subject to the fee limitation are reclassified as Class 3 or Class 3a Units of the applicable Series for administrative purposes. The Managing Owner may also pay Selling Agentsselling agents certain additional fees and expenses for administrative and other services rendered and expenses incurred by such Selling Agents.

These service fees are part of the offering costs of the Trust, which include registration and filing fees, legal and blue sky expenses, accounting and audit, printing, marketing support and other offering costs which are born by

the Managing Owner. With respect to the service fees, the initial service fee (for the first 12 months) relating to a purchase of Class 1 and Class 1a Units by an investor is prepaid by the Managing Owner to the relevant selling agent in the month following such purchase and is reimbursed for such payment by the Series monthly in arrears in an amount based upon a corresponding percentage of NAV, calculated daily. Consequently, the Managing Owner bears the risk of the downside and enjoys the benefit of the upside potential of any difference between the amount of the initial service fee prepaid by it and the amount of the reimbursement thereof, which may result from variations in NAV over the following 12 months.

Pending Owner Additions—Funds received for new subscriptions and for additions to existing owner interests are recorded as capital additions at the NAV per unit of the second business day following receipt.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In December of 2011, FASB issued new guidance that requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. FASB issued additional clarification to specify that the guidance applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria of the Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Trust’s financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In JuneSeptember of 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-08 to (i) modify Topic 946 for determining whether an entity is an investment company; (ii) update the measurement requirements for noncontrolling interests in other investment companies; and (iii) require additional disclosures for investment companies under GAAP. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations.

Reclassification—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—Certain amountsIn February, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Trust’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. In May 2014 the FASB issued a final standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard, issued as FASB ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. A full retrospective or modified retrospective approach may be taken to adopt the guidance in the 2012 financial statements have been reclassified to conform withASU. The Trust is currently evaluating the 2013 presentation. Noneimpact of the reclasses had an impactprovisions of ASU 2014-09 on the NAV or performanceits consolidated financial position, results of the Trust.operations and related disclosures.

Subsequent Events—The Trust follows the provisions of ASC 855,Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date and up through the date the financial statements are issued. No events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure have been identified.

3. Fair Value Measurements

In connection with the valuation of investments the Trust applies ASC 820,Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides clarification that when a quoted price in an active market for the identical asset or liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASC 820 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of an asset or liability. ASC 820 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical asset or liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical asset or liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.

Level 1 Inputs

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs

Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the financial assetassets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar financial assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the financial assetassets or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs

Unobservable inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the financial asset.

The Trust uses the following methodologies to value instruments within its financial asset portfolio at fair value:

Trading Securities.These instruments include U.S. Treasury securities and open trade equity positions (futures contracts) that are actively traded on public markets with quoted pricing for corroboration. U.S. Treasury securities and futures contracts are reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs. Trading securities instruments further include open trade equity positions (tradingtrading options and currency forwards)forwards that are quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not traded on active markets. Trading options and currency forwards are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs.

Swap Contracts. Certain Series of the Trust strategically invest a portion or all of their assets in total return Swaps, selected at the direction of the Managing Owner. Swaps are privately negotiated contracts designed to provide investment returns linked to those produced by one or more investment products or indices. In a typical Swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on one or more particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the amount of value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular investment, or in a “basket” of securities. Swap contracts are reported at fair value based upon daily reports from the counterparty. The Managing Owner values the investments of based on the CTA’s estimated position information on a same-trading day basis. The Managing Owner reviews and approves current day pricing of the CTA positions, as received from the counterparty which includes intra-day volatility and volume and daily index performance, that is used to determine a daily fair value NAV for the swap contracts. The fair value is corroborated through the use of a third party pricing service (“pricing service”).service. The valuation of swap contracts requires significant estimates utilizing Level 3 Inputs corroborated by management through the use of a third party pricing service (“pricing service”). The pricing service, utilizing proprietary model-intensive methodologies, selects and implements the pricing model appropriate for each swap valuation. The pricing service does not provide detail of the pricing model to management. The Managing Owner through the valuation committee charted by the Executive Committee of the Trust, engages, via inquiry and review of methodology documentation, with the service provider to gain an understanding of the valuation model selected; the components of the model, both observable and unobservable; and quality control testing procedures in place. The valuation committee meets on a monthly basis and as needed to discuss any updates or changes in the valuation process, reporting to the Executive Committee. The pricing service’s methodology includes performance of tolerance testing on its valuation models to ensure consistency and reasonableness of the values derived. The tolerance testing includes valuing the components of the product separately, i.e. underlying asset, volatility, financing rates, and so forth. The tolerance testing is part of the initial valuation setup and throughout the ongoing daily valuation process. The pricing service also has several layers of quality control including: engineering / reverse engineering process to understand each swap and it’s subcomponent parts fully; comparative analysis against other valuations performed with similar composition and characteristics; review of output valuation against expectations based on observable price movements of underlying futures; and lastly, periodic review by a senior financial engineer to ensure design and function of model is stable and perform as expected.

The Managing Owner has chartered a valuation committee to provide oversight of the valuation process for the Series. The valuation committee meets at least monthly to discuss the valuation process and any valuation issues that may arise. The valuation committee is comprised of senior members of the Managing

Owner’s management team with varying areas of expertise that add value to the committee. The valuation committee reports to both the Managing Owner’s Investment Oversight and Risk Committee and the Trust’s Executive Committee. The committee further remains in communication with the Managing Owner’s Due Diligence Committee that provides ongoing counterparty risk monitoring of the swap counterparties. The committee monitors daily pricing valuation provided by the swap counterparty and daily valuation provided by the third party pricing service to ensure the change in fair value is reasonable and valuations are in accordance with current regulations and best practices. The committee may request a price challenge if the daily valuation provided by the counterparty valuations differs significantly from the valuation obtained by the pricing service. The Managing Owner’s valuation committee monitors some additional input factors such as liquidity, volatility, and counterparty risk in order to further review the valuations provide by the pricing service.

The following table summarizes the instruments that comprise the Trust’s financial asset portfolio, by Series, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012,2013, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

4. Swaps

In addition to authorizing Trading Advisors to manage pre-determined investment levels of futures and forward contracts, certain Series of the Trust will strategically invest a portion or all of their assets in total return swaps, selected at the direction of the Managing Owner. Total return Swaps are privately negotiated contracts designed to provide investment returns linked to those produced by one or more investment products or indices. In a typical total return Swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on one or more particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the amount or value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular investment, or in a “basket” of securities.

The Trust invested in Credit Default Swaps (“CDS”) with highly-rated counterparties as part of its portfolio. CDSs are over-the-counter investment instruments designed to mitigate counterparty risk and generally pay upon

the happening of a credit default of a counterparty. The CDS were allocated to each Series based on their percentage ownership in the pooled cash management assets at U.S. Bank National Association as of the reporting date. All Credit Default Swaps had expired as of March 31, 2012.

The Trust’s investment in Swaps will likely differ substantially over time due to cash flows, portfolio management decisions and market movements. The Swaps serve to diversify the investment holdings of the Trust and to provide access to programs and advisors that would not be otherwise available to the Trust, and are not used for hedging purposes.

The Managing Owner follows a procedure in selecting well-established financial institutions which the Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, considers to be reputable, reliable, financially responsible and well established to act as swap counterparties. The procedure includes due diligence review of documentation on all new and existing financial institution counterparties prior to initiation of the relationship, and quarterly ongoing review during the relationship, to ensure that counterparties meet the Managing Owner’s minimum credit requirements, the counterparty average rating being no less than an investment grade rating as defined by the rating agencies. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately 12.5% or $35,990,887 and 2012, approximately 3.0% and 3.2%,7.0% or $21,455,529, respectively, of the Trust’s assets were deposited with over-the-counter counterparties in order to initiate and maintain Swaps and is recorded as cash and cash equivalentsSwap Contracts, at fair value on the Statements of Financial Condition of the Trust. This cash held with the counterparty is not restricted.

The Trust strategically invests assets in one or more swaps linked to certain underlying investments or indices at the direction of the Managing Owner. The Trading Company in which the assets of the Trust will be invested will not own any of the investments or indices referenced by any swap entered into by the Trust. In addition, neither the swap counterparty nor any advisor referenced by any such swap is a Trading Advisor to the Trust.

5. Transactions with Affiliates

The Managing Owner contributes funds to the Trust in order to have a 1% interest in the aggregate capital, profits and losses and in return will receive units designated as general units in the Series of the Trust in which the Managing Owner invests such funds. The general units may only be purchased by the Managing Owner and may be subject to no advisory fees or management advisory fees at reduced rates. Otherwise, the general units hold the same rights as the limited units. The Managing Owner is required to maintain at least a 1% interest (“Minimum Purchase Commitment”) in the aggregate capital, profits and losses of the Trust so long as it is acting as the Managing Owner of the Trust. Such contribution was made by the Managing Owner before trading commenced for the Trust and will be maintained throughout the existence of the Trust, and the Managing Owner will make such purchases as are necessary to effect this requirement. Additionally, the Managing Owner agreed with certain regulatory bodies to maintain a 1% interest specifically in the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) Class 1a Units and Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) Class 2a Units, aggregated, and each of the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series), Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (Frontier Masters Series).Fund. The 1% interest in these specific Series of the Trust is included in computing the Minimum Purchase Commitment in aggregate capital. In addition to the general units the Managing Owner receives in respect of its Minimum Purchase Commitment, the Managing Owner may purchase limited units in any Series as a Limited Owner. Principals of the Managing Owner or affiliates are allowed to own beneficial interests in the Trust, as well. All units purchased by the Managing Owner are held for investment purposes only and not for resale. The Managing Owner may make purchases or redemptions at any time on the same terms as any Limited Owner. The Trust has and will continue to have certain relationships with the Managing Owner and its affiliates.

Expenses

Management Fees—Each Series of the TrustUnits pays to the Managing Owner a monthly management fee equal to a certain percentage of such Series’the nominal assets attributable toof such Series, (including notional assets), calculated on a daily basis. The total amount of assets of a series allocated to trading advisors and/or reference programs, including (i) actual funds deposited in accounts directed by the trading advisors or deposited as margin in respect of swaps or other derivative instruments referencing a reference program plus (ii) any notional equity allocated to the trading advisors and any reference programs, is referred to herein as the “nominal assets” of the series. The annual rate of the management fee isis: 0.5% for the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerlyClass 1, Class 2 and Class 3, 1.0% for the Equinox Frontier Balanced Series),Fund Class 1a and Class 2a, 2.0% for the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Winton Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) Class 1a and Class 2a and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, (formerly Frontier Masters Series), 0.75% for Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), 2.5% for the Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier Heritage Series) and Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and 3.5% for the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) Class 1 and Class 2. The Managing Owner may pay all or a portion of such management fees to the Trading Advisor(s) and/or waive (up to the percentage specified) any such management fee to the extent any related management fee is paid by a trading company or estimated management fee is embedded in a swap or other derivative instrument. Any management fee embedded in a swap or other derivative instrument may be greater or less than the management fee that would otherwise be charged to the series by the Managing Owner. As of the date of this Form 10-K, the trading advisor for a series that has invested in a swap has not received any management fees directly from the series for such Series.swap, and instead the relevant trading advisor receives compensation via the fees embedded in the swap.

The management fee as a percentage of the applicable series’ net asset value will be greater than the percentage indicated above to the extent that the nominal assets of the series exceeds its net asset value. The managing owner expects that the nominal assets of each series will generally be maintained at a level in excess of the net asset value of such series and such excess may be substantial to the extent the managing owner deems necessary to achieve the desired level of volatility.

Trading Fees—In connection with each Series’ trading activities of the Trust, the Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) (Classes 1, 2 and 3), Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (formerly Winton Series) and Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund (formerly Frontier

Heritage Series) pays to the Managing Owner a trading fee, or FCM Fee, of up to 0.75% of such Series’ NAV, calculated daily. The Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, (formerly Frontier Diversified Series), Equinox

Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) (Classes 1a and 2a) and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series) pays to the Managing Owner a trading fee, or FCM Fee, of up to 2.25% and a custodial/due diligence fee of 0.12% of such Series’ NAV, calculated daily.

Incentive Fees—Some Series of the Trust pay to the Managing Owner an incentive fee of a certain percentage of new net trading profits generated by such Series, monthly or quarterly. Because the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, (formerly Balanced Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) may each employ multiple Trading Advisors, these Series will pay the Managing Owner a monthly incentive fee calculated on a Trading Advisor by Trading Advisor basis. It is therefore possible that in any given period the Series may pay incentive fees to the Managing Owner for one or more Trading Advisors while each of these Series as a whole experiences losses. The incentive fee is 25% for the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Series) and the Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund (formerly Frontier Diversified Series) and 20% for the Equinox Frontier Winton Fund, (formerly Winton Series), Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, (formerly Frontier Heritage Series), Equinox Frontier Select Fund, (formerly Frontier Select Series), Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund (formerly Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series) and Equinox Frontier Masters Fund (formerly Frontier Masters Series).Fund. The Managing Owner may pay all or a portion of such incentive fees to the Trading Advisor(s) for such Series.

Service Fees—In addition, with respect to Class 1 and Class 1a Units of each Series of the Trust, as applicable, the Series pays monthly or quarterly to the Managing Owner a service fee equalof up to 3% annually, which the Managing Owner pays to selling agents of the Trust.

As of December 31, 2014, the Trust has a payable to the Managing Owner in the amounts of $6,665,328, $468,154, $203,086, $324,854, and $336,115 for incentive fees, management fees, interest, trading fees, and service fees, respectively.

With respect to the service fees, the initial service fee (for the first 12 months) relating to a purchase of Units by an investor is prepaid by the Managing Owner to the relevant selling agent in the month following such purchase and is reimbursed therefore by the Series monthly in arrears in an amount based upon a corresponding percentage of NAV, calculated daily. Consequently, the Managing Owner bears the risk and enjoys the benefit of the upside potential of any difference between the amount of the initial service fee prepaid by it and the amount of the reimbursement thereof, which may result from variations in NAV over the following 12 months. For the yearyears ended December 31, 20132014 and 20122013 amounts received or receivable from the Managing Owner for the difference in monthly service fees from the prepaid initial service fees were $18,328($19,369) and $2,096,($18,328), respectively.

Certain financial instruments and derivative instruments are eligible for offset in the statements of financial condition under GAAP. The Trust’s open trade equity/(deficit), options written, and receivables from Futures Commissions Merchantsfutures commission merchants (each, an “FCM”) are subject to master netting arrangements and collateral arrangements and meet the GAAP guidance to qualify for offset. A master netting arrangement with a counterparty creates a right of offset for amounts due to and from that same counterparty that is enforceable in the event of a default or bankruptcy. The Trust’s policy is to recognize amounts subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The following tables present gross and net information about the Trust’s assets and liabilities subject the master netting arrangements as disclosed on the consolidatsdconsolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 20132014 and December 31, 2012:2013:

8. Trading Activities and Related Risks

The purchase and sale of futures and options on futures contracts require margin deposits with FCMs. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property (for example, U.S. treasury bills) deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM’s segregation requirements. In the event of an FCM’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than the total of cash and other property deposited.

The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the statements of financial condition, may result in future obligation or loss in excess of the amount paid by the Series for a particular investment. Each Trading Company expects to trade in futures, options, forward and swap contracts and will therefore be a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures positions held by a Trading Company in respect of any Series at the same time, and if the Trading Advisor(s) of such Trading Company are unable to offset such futures interests positions, such Trading Company could lose all of its assets and the holders of Units of such Series would realize a 100% loss. The Managing Owner will seek to minimize market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions and the level of diversification of each Trading Advisor’s portfolio. It is anticipated that any Trading Advisor’s margin-to-equity ratio will typically not exceed approximately 35% although the actual ratio could be higher or lower from time to time.

In addition to market risk, trading futures, forward and swap contracts entails credit risk in that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to a Trading Company. The counterparty for futures contracts traded in the United States and on most foreign exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial

burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. Some non-U.S. exchanges, in

contrast to U.S. exchanges, are principals’ markets in which performance is the responsibility only of the individual counterparty with whom the Trading Company has entered into the transaction, and not of the exchange or clearing corporation. In these kinds of markets, there is risk of bankruptcy or other failure or refusal to perform by the counterparty.

In the case of forward contracts traded on the interbank market and swaps, neither is traded on exchanges. The counterparty is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The Managing Owner expects the Trading Advisors to trade only with those counterparties which it believes to be creditworthy. All positions of each Trading Company will be valued each day on a mark-to-market basis. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to any Trading Company.

The Managing Owner has established procedures to actively monitor and minimize market and credit risks. The Limited Owners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.

9. Indemnifications and Guarantees

The Trust has entered into agreements, which provide for the indemnification of futures clearing brokers, and commodity trading advisers, among others, against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of their individual obligations under such agreements, except for gross negligence or bad faith. The Trust has had no prior claims or payments pursuant to these agreements. The Trust’s individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote. Maximum exposure is unfulfilled obligations of the Trust up to the amount of equity at risk with UBS. The Trust has not recorded any liability for the guarantees in the accompanying financial statements as it expects any possibility of losses to be remote.

The Trust has guaranteed the obligations of the trading companies under the customer agreements with UBS Securities as Clearing Broker. In the event that one Series of the Trust is unable to meet its obligations to UBS Securities, the assets of the other Series will be available to UBS Securities as part of the guarantee, but only to the extent of such Series’ pro rata allocation to the trading company. The Trust has not recorded any liability for the indemnifications in the accompanying financial statements as it expects any possibility of losses to be remote.

10. Subsequent Events

On November 26, 2014, the Trust’s portfolio management team approved an allocation change in an Emil Van Essen trading program that was not fully implemented as intended. As a result, certain series who invested in Emil Van Essen were not allocated sufficient gains and certain other series who invested in Emil Van Essen suffered greater losses. In January 2015, the Managing Owner determined to make a payment to the affected investors within the Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund and Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, in the aggregate amount of $1,247,752 to reimburse the effect of the missed gain or higher loss on such investors in the series, and such amount will be recorded in the Statements of Operations as net increase from payments by Managing Owner.

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition, including the condensed schedules of investments, of the Frontier Trading Company I, LLC, Frontier Trading Company II, LLC, Frontier Trading Company III LLC, Frontier Trading Company V, LLC, Frontier Trading Company VI LLC, Frontier Trading Company VII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company VIII LLC, Frontier Trading Company IX, LLC, Frontier Trading Company X, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XI, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XIV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XVII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XVIII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXI, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXIII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXIX, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXIV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXVII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXVIII, LLC, and Frontier Trading Company XXXIX, LLC (collectively, the Trading Companies) as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012,2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013.2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trading Companies’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Trading Companies are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trading Companies’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Frontier Trading Company I, LLC, Frontier Trading Company II, LLC, Frontier Trading Company III LLC, Frontier Trading Company V, LLC, Frontier Trading Company VI LLC, Frontier Trading Company VII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company VIII LLC, Frontier Trading Company IX, LLC, Frontier Trading Company X, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XI, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XIV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XVII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XVIII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXI, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXIII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXIX, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXIV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXVII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXVIII, LLC, and Frontier Trading Company XXXIX, LLC as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012,2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013,2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Trading Companies of the Equinox Frontier Funds (Formerly The Frontier Fund)

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Purpose

These financial statements and related notes pertain to the following companies: Frontier Trading Company I LLC, Frontier Trading Company II LLC, Frontier Trading Company III LLC, Frontier Trading Company V, LLC, Frontier Trading Company VI LLC, Frontier Trading Company VII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company VIII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company IX, LLC, Frontier Trading Company X, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XI, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XIV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XVII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XVIII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXI, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXIII, LLC, , Frontier Trading Company XXIX, LLC Frontier Trading Company XXXIV, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXV LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXVII, LLC, Frontier Trading Company XXXVIII, LLC, and Frontier Trading Company XXXIX, LLC (the “Trading Companies”).

Equinox Frontier Funds (formerly The Frontier Fund) (the “Trust”), was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 8, 2003, with separate Series of Units (the “Series”). Its term will expire on December 31, 2053 (unless terminated earlier in certain circumstances). The Trust is a multi-advisor commodity pool as described in Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC Regulation § 4.10(d)(2).

All capital of the Trading Companies is provided by the Series and there are no other investors in the Trading Companies.

Each Trading Company authorizes certain Trading Advisors to place trades and manage assets at pre-determined investment levels. The Trading Companies were organized for the purpose of investing in securities and derivative instruments, and have no operating income or expenses, except for trading income and expenses.

Trading Companies engage in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of futures, forwardforwards (including interbank foreign currencies) and options contracts and other derivative instruments (including swap contracts) and may, from time to time, engage in cash and spot transactions. A brief description of the Trading Company’s main types of investments is set forth below:

 

A futures contract is a standardized contract traded on an exchange that calls for the future delivery of a specified quantity of a commodity at a specified time and place.

 

A forward contract is an individually negotiated contract between principals, not traded on an exchange, to buy or sell a specified quantity of a commodity at or before a specified date at a specified price.

 

An option on a futures contract, forward contract or a commodity gives the buyer of the option the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a futures contract, forward contract or a commodity, as applicable, at a specified price on or before a specified date. Options on futures contracts are standardized contracts traded on an exchange, while options on forward contracts and commodities, referred to collectively as over-the-counter options, generally are individually negotiated, principal-to-principal contracts not traded on an exchange.

 

A swap contract generally involves an exchange of a stream of payments between the contracting parties. Swap contracts generally are not uniform and not exchange-traded.

The Trust has entered into agreements, which provide for the indemnification of futures clearing brokers, currency trading companies, and commodity trading advisers, among others, against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of their individual obligations under such agreements, except for gross negligence or bad faith.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following are the significant accounting policies of the Trading Companies.

Basis of Presentation—The Trading Companies follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), to ensure consistent reporting of financial condition, condensed schedules of investments, results of operations, changes in capital and cash flows.

Receivable from Futures Commission MerchantstheThe Trading Companies deposit assets with a FCM subject to CFTC regulations and various exchange and broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of cash with such FCM. The Trading Companies earn interest income on its assets deposited with the FCM.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP may require the management of the Trading Companies to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The valuation of swap contracts requires significant estimates as well as the valuation of certain other investments. Please refer to Note 3 for discussion of valuation methodology. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.

Investment Transactions—Futures, options on futures, and forward contracts are recorded on a trade date basis and realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the Statement of Operations as a Net change in open trade equity, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with ASC 210. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Operations. Fair value of exchange-traded contracts is based upon exchange settlement prices. Fair value of non-exchange-traded contracts is based on third party quoted dealer values on the interbank market.

Foreign Currency Transactions—The Trading Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar, however, they transact business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Series do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized or unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Investments and Swaps—The Trading Companies recordsrecord investment transactions on a trade date basis and all investments are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reported as a component of realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on investments in the statements of operations. CertainThe Trading Companies strategically invest a portion or all of their assets in total return Swaps, selected at the discretion of the Managing Owner.management. Swaps are privately negotiated contracts designed to provide investment returns linked to those produced by one or more underlying investment products or indices. In a typical Swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on one or more particular predetermined investmentsinvestment or instruments.instrument. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the amount of value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular investment, or in a “basket” of securities. The valuation of swap contracts requires significant estimates. Swap contracts are reported atutilizing Level 3 Inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value basis upon daily reports frommeasurement of the counterparty.Trust’s Swap contracts are asset liquidity, debt valuation, credit risk, volatility, market risk, distributions, dividends, risk premiums, and other risk management tools. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Swap Contracts are reported at fair value basisbased upon daily reportsa weekly indicative value that is calculated by management using bid/ask prices from the counterparty. The Managing Owner values the investments of based on the CTA’s estimated position information on a same-trading day basis. The Managing Owner reviews and approves current day pricing of the CTA positions, as received from the counterparty which includes intra-day volatility and volume and daily index performance, that is used to determine a daily fair value NAV for the swap contracts. This fair value is corroborated by valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The third party pricing service on

utilizes a daily basis. The pricing service, utilizing proprietarymodel-intensive methodologies, selects and implements theBlack Scholes pricing model appropriate for each swap valuation. The pricing service does not provide detailwith input adjustments factoring in volatility and liquidity of the pricing model to management. The Managing Owner engages, via inquiry and review of methodology documentation, with the service provider to gain an understanding ofinstruments. All valuation processes are monitored by the valuation model selected, the components of the model, both observable and unobservable; and quality control testing procedures in place.committee.

Income Taxes—The Trading Companies apply the provisions of ASC 740Income Taxes(“ASC 740”), which provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trading Companies’ financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Trading Company level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has concluded there is no tax expense, interest or penalties to be recorded by the Trading Companies. The 20102011 through 20132014 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

Fees and Expenses—The Trading Companies incur no expenses other than trading commissions resulting from normal trading activity. All operating expenses such as legal, accounting, etc. are paid for, without reimbursement, by Equinox Fund Management, LLC, the Managing Owner of the Trust.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In June of 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-08 to (i) modify Topic 946 for determining whether an entity is an investment company; (ii) update the measurement requirements for noncontrolling interests in other investment companies; and (iii) require additional disclosures for investment companies under GAAP. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial positionpositions or results of operations.

In December of 2011, FASB issued new guidance that requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. FASB issued additional clarification to specify that the guidance applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria of the Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations.

Reclassification—Certain amounts in the 20122013 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 20132014 presentation. None of the reclasses had an impact on the NAVnet asset value or performance of the Trading Companies.

Subsequent Events—The Trading Companies follow the provisions of FASB ASC 855,Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date and up through the date the financial statements are issued. No events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure have been identified.Refer to Note 9.

3. Fair Value Measurements

In connection with the valuation of investments, the Trading Companies apply ASC 820. ASC 820 provides clarification that when a quoted price in an active market for the identical asset or liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASC 820 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of an asset or liability. ASC 820 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical asset or liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical asset or liability when traded as an asset or liability in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.

Level 1 Inputs

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs

Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the financial assetassets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar financial assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the financial assetassets or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs

Unobservable inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the financial asset.

The Trading Companies uses the following methodologies to value instruments within its financial asset portfolio at fair value:

Trading Securities. These instruments include open trade equity positions (futures contracts) that are actively traded on public markets with quoted pricing for corroboration. Futures contracts are reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs. Trading securities instruments further include open trade equity positions (trading options and currencies) that are quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not traded on active markets. Trading options and currencies are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs.

Swap Contracts. Certain Trading Companies strategically invest a portion or all of their assets in total return Swaps, selected at the direction of the Managing Owner. Swaps are privately negotiated contracts designed to provide investment returns linked to those produced by one or more investment products or indices. In a typical Swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on one or more particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the amount of value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular investment, or in a “basket” of securities. Swap contracts are reported at fair value basis upon daily reports from the counterparty. The Managing Owner values the investments of based on the CTA’s estimated position information on a same-trading day basis. The Managing Owner reviews and approves current day pricing of the CTA positions, as received from the counterparty which includes intra-day volatility and volume and daily index performance, that is used to determine a daily fair value NAV for the swap contracts. The fair value is corroborated through the use of a third party pricing service (“pricing service”). The valuation of swap contracts requires significant estimates utilizing Level 3 Inputs corroborated by management through the use of a third party pricing service (“pricing service”). The pricing service, utilizing proprietary model-intensive methodologies, selects and implements the pricing model appropriate for each swap valuation. The pricing service does not provide detail of the pricing model to management. The Managing Owner through the Valuation Committee charted by the Executive Committee of the Trust, engages, via inquiry and review of methodology documentation, with the service provider to gain an understanding of the valuation model selected; the components of the model, both observable and unobservable; and quality control testing procedures in place. The Valuation committee meets on a monthly basis and as needed to discuss any updates or changes in the valuation process, reporting to the Executive Committee. The pricing service’s methodology includes performance of tolerance testing on its valuation models to ensure consistency and reasonableness of the values derived. The tolerance testing includes valuing the components of the product separately, i.e. underlying asset, volatility, financing rates, and so forth. The tolerance testing is part of the initial valuation setup and throughout the ongoing daily valuation process. The pricing service also has several layers of quality control including: engineering / reverse

engineering process to understand each swap and its’ subcomponent parts fully; comparative analysis against other valuations performed with similar composition and characteristics; review of output valuation against expectations based on observable price movements of underlying futures; and lastly, periodic review by senior financial engineer to ensure design and function of model is stable and perform as expected.

The Managing Owner has chartered a valuation committee to provide oversight of the valuation process. The valuation committee meets at least monthly to discuss the valuation process and any valuation issues that may arise. The valuation committee is comprised of senior members of the Managing Owner’s management team with varying areas of expertise that add value to the committee. The valuation committee reports to both the Managing Owner’s Investment Oversight and Risk Committee and the Trust’s Executive Committee. The committee further remains in communication with the Managing Owner’s Due Diligence Committee that provides ongoing counterparty risk monitoring of the swap counterparties. The committee monitors daily pricing provided by the swap counterparty and daily valuation provided by the third party pricing service to ensure the change in fair value is reasonable and valuations are in accordance with current regulations and best practices. The committee may request a price challenge if the daily valuation provided by the counterparty valuations differs significantly from the valuation obtained by the pricing service. The Managing Owner’s valuation committee monitors some additional input factors such as liquidity, volatility, and counterparty risk in order to further review the valuations provide by the pricing service.

The following table summarizes the instruments that comprise the Trading Companies financial asset portfolio measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012,2013, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

4. Swaps

In addition to authorizing Trading Advisors to manage pre-determined investment levels of futures and forward contracts, certain Trading Companies of the Trust will strategically invest a portion or all of their assets in total return swaps, selected at the direction of management. Swaps are privately negotiated contracts designed to

provide investment returns linked to those produced by one or more investment products or indices. In a typical swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on one or more particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the amount or value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular investment, or in a “basket” of securities.

Each Trading Companies’ investment in swaps will likely differ substantially over time due to cash flows, portfolio management decisions and market movements. The Swaps serve to diversify the investment holdings of each Trading Company and to provide access to programs and advisors that would not be otherwise available to the Trading Company, and are not used for hedging purposes.

Management follows a procedure in selecting well-established financial institutions which management, in its sole discretion, considers to be reputable, reliable, financially responsible and well established, to act as swap counterparties. The procedure includes due diligence review of documentation on all new and existing financial institution counterparties prior to initiation of relationship, and quarterly ongoing review during the relationship, to ensure that counterparties meet the managements’ minimum credit requirements, the counterparty average rating being no less than an investment grade rating as defined by the rating agencies.

The Trading Companies strategically invest assets in one or more swaps linked to certain underlying investments or indices, at the direction of management. The Trading Companies will not own any of the investments or indices referenced by any swap. In addition, the swap counterparty to the Trading Company is not a Trading Advisor to these Trading Companies.

Certain financial instruments and derivative instruments are eligible for offset in the statements of financial condition under GAAP. The Trading Companies’Series’ open trade equity/(deficit), options written, and receivables from Futures Commissions Merchantsfutures commission merchants (each, an “FCM”) are subject to master netting arrangements and collateral arrangements and meet the U.S. GAAP guidance to qualify for offset. A master netting arrangement with a counterparty creates a right of offset for amounts due to and from that same counterparty that is enforceable in the event of a default or bankruptcy. The Trading Companies’Series’ policy is to recognize amounts subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis on the statements of financial condition.

The following tables present gross and net information about the Trading Companies’Series’ assets and liabilities subject to master netting arrangements as disclosed on the statements of financial condition as of December 31, 20132014 and 2012.2013.

7. Trading Activities and Related Risks

The purchase and sale of futures and options on futures contracts require margin deposits with Futures Commodities Merchantsfutures commission merchants (each, an “FCM”). Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property (for example, U.S. Treasury bills) deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM’s segregation requirements. In the event of an FCM’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than the total of cash and other property deposited.

The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the Statement of Financial Condition, may result in future obligation or loss in excess of the amount paid by the trading Companies for a particular investment. Each Trading Company expects to trade in futures, options, forward and swap contracts and will therefore be a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures positions held by a Trading Company at the same time, and if the Trading Advisor(s) of such Trading Company are unable to offset such futures interests positions, such Trading Company could lose all of its assets. Management will seek to minimize market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions and the level of diversification of each Trading Advisor’s portfolio. It is anticipated that any Trading Advisor’s margin-to-equity ratio will typically not exceed approximately 35% although the actual ratio could be higher or lower from time to time.

In addition to market risk, trading futures, forward and swap contracts entails credit risk in that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to a Trading Company. The counterparty for futures contracts traded in the United States and on most foreign exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. Some non-U.S. exchanges, in contrast to U.S. exchanges, are principals’ markets in which performance is the responsibility only of the individual counterparty with whom the Trading Company has entered into the transaction, and not of the exchange or clearing corporation. In these kinds of markets, there is risk of bankruptcy or other failure or refusal to perform by the counterparty.

In the case of forward contracts traded on the interbank market and swaps, neither is traded on exchanges. The counterparty is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. Management expects the Trading Advisors to trade only with those counterparties which it believes to be creditworthy. All positions of each Trading Company will be valued each day on a mark-to-market basis. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to any Trading Company.

Management has established procedures to actively monitor and minimize market and credit risks. Investors in units of the Equinox Frontier Funds Series (formerly The Frontier Fund) bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.

8. Indemnifications

The Trading Companies have entered into agreements, which provide for the indemnification of futures clearing brokers, currency trading companies, and commodity trading advisers, among others, against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of their individual obligations under such agreements, except for

gross negligence or bad faith. The Trading Companies have had no prior claims or payments pursuant to these agreements. The Trading Companies’ individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trading Companies that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience the Trading Companies expect the risk of loss to be remote.

9. Subsequent Events

None.
