1. | General: |
Westport JWH Futures Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized on March 21, 1997 under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage, directly or indirectly, in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests, including futures contracts and forward contracts. The sectors traded include energy, currencies, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, indices, softs, livestock and metals. The Partnership commenced trading on August 1, 1997. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership, directly, and through its investment in JWH Master Fund LLC (“JWH Master”), are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Partnership privately and continuously offers up to 200,000 redeemable units of limited partnership interest (“Redeemable Units”) to qualified investors. There is no maximum number of Redeemable Units that may be sold by the Partnership.
Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns a majority equity interest in MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker for the Partnership, owns a minority equity interest in MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
As of June 30, 2011, all trading decisions for the Partnership are made by John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (the “Advisor”).
The General Partner and each limited partner of the Partnership (each a “Limited Partner”) share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of Partnership interest owned by each except that no Limited Partner shall be liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of its capital contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions.
The accompanying financial statements and accompanying notes are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Partnership’s financial condition at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and changes in partners’ capital for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. You should read these financial statements together with the financial statements and notes included in the Partnership’s Annual Report onForm 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Due to the nature of commodity trading, the results of operations for the interim periods presented should not be considered indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

4. | Fair Value Measurements: |
Partnership’s and JWH Master’s Investments. All commodity interests held by the Partnership and JWH Master (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
Partnership’s and JWH Master’s Fair Value Measurements. Fair Value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s Level 1 assets and liabilities are actively traded.
GAAP also requires the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Partnership’s Level 2 assets and liabilities.
The Partnership and JWH Master will separately present purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e., to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and make disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as required by GAAP.

The Partnership and JWH Master consider prices for exchange-traded commodity futures and forward contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange-traded forward contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers that derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). Investments in JWH Master (or other commodity pools) where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership are priced based on the end of the day net asset value of JWH Master (Level 2). The value of the Partnership’s investment in JWH Master reflects its proportional interest in JWH Master. As of and for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership and JWH Master did not hold any derivative instruments that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

5. Investment in JWH Master:
The Advisor trades a portion of the assets allocated to the Advisor directly, in accordance with the systematic JWH Diversified Plus Program. On January 2, 2008, 80% of the assets allocated to the Advisor for trading were invested in JWH Master, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 29,209.3894 units of JWH Master (each, a “Unit of Member Interest”) with cash equal to $39,540,753. JWH Master was formed in order to permit accounts managed by the Advisor using the Global Analytics Program, a proprietary, systematic trading system, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the managing member of the JWH Master. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by the Advisor, including the Partnership, are permitted to be non-managing members of JWH Master. The General Partner and the Advisor believe that trading through this structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process. Expenses to investors as a result of the investment in JWH Master are approximately the same and redemptions rights are not affected.
The General Partner is not aware of any material changes to the trading program discussed above during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011.

JWH Master’s trading of futures and forward contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on U.S. commodity exchanges and foreign commodity exchanges. JWH Master engages in such trading through commodity brokerage accounts maintained by CGM.
A non-managing member may withdraw all or part of its redeemable capital contributions and undistributed profits, if any, from JWH Master in multiples of the net asset value per Unit of Member Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”), after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least three days in advance of the Redemption date. The Unit of Member Interest is classified as a liability when the non-managing member elects to redeem and informs JWH Master.
Management and incentive fees are charged at the Partnership level. All exchange, clearing, user,give-up, floor brokerage, and National Futures Association fees (collectively, the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Partnership and through its investment in JWH Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage fees are charged at the Partnership level.
At June 30, 2011, the Partnership owned approximately 78.7% of JWH Master. At December 31, 2010, the Partnership owned approximately 78.7% of JWH Master. The Partnership intends to continue to invest a portion of its assets in JWH Master. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of JWH Master.

6. | Financial Instrument Risks: |
In the normal course of business, the Partnership and JWH Master are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards and futures whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, to purchase or sell other financial instruments on specific terms on specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange-traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments, including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
The risk to the Limited Partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of the Partnership’s assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a result of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership and JWH Master due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The Partnership and JWH Master are exposed to market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and is not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Partnership and JWH Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership and JWH Master have credit risk and concentration risk, as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership and JWH Master assets CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that, through CGM, the Partnership and JWH Master counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly, believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership and JWH Master may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk-adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures and forward contracts by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

7. Critical Accounting Policies:
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Partnership’s and JWH Master’s Investments. All commodity interests held by the Partnership and JWH Master (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in commodity futures trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
Partnership’s and JWH Master’s Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s Level 1 assets and liabilities are actively traded.
GAAP also requires the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Partnership’s Level 2 assets and liabilities.
The Partnership and JWH Master will separately present purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e., to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and make disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as required by GAAP.
The Partnership and JWH Master consider prices for exchange-traded commodity futures and forward contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange-traded forward, for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers that derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). Investments in JWH Master or (other commodity pools) where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership are priced based on the end of the day net asset value (Level 2). The value of the Partnership’s investment in JWH Master reflects its proportional interest in JWH Master. As of and for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership and JWH Master did not hold any derivative instruments that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

Futures Contracts. The Partnership and JWH Master trade futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and JWH Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and JWH Master. When the contract is closed, the Partnership and JWH Master record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded. Net realized gains (losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts. Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin or zinc. LME contracts traded by the Partnership and JWH Master are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and JWH Master each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and JWH Master. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with a like number of short positions settling on the same prompt date. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Partnership and JWH Master record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME. Net realized gains (losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements and requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Partnership 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 General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnership’s financial statements.
The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the 2007 through 2010 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Subsequent Events. The General Partner evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are filed. The General Partner has assessed the subsequent events through the date of filing and determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment of or disclosure in the financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards” (“IFRS”). The amendments within this ASU change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. However, some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public entities. This new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s financial statements.
Net Income (Loss) per Unit. Net income (loss) per unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See Note 2, “Financial Highlights.”

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. Its assets are (i) investment in JWH Master, (ii) equity in trading account, consisting of cash, net unrealized depreciation on open futures contracts and net unrealized depreciation on open forward contracts, and (iii) interest receivable. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership. While substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity, no such illiquidity occurred in the second quarter of 2011.
The Partnership’s capital consists of the capital contributions of its partners, as increased or decreased by realized and/or unrealized gains or losses on trading and by expenses, interest income, subscriptions and redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Partnership capital decreased 7.6% from $64,695,711 to $59,764,258. This decrease was attributable to net loss from operations of $4,990,272 coupled with the redemption of 2,059.1080 Redeemable Units totaling $3,571,963 which was partially offset with subscriptions of 2,040.782 Redeemable Units totaling $3,630,782. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.
JWH Master’s capital consists of the capital contributions of its members increased or decreased by realized and/or unrealized gains or losses on trading and by expenses, interest income, subscriptions and redemption of Units of Member Interest and distributions of profits if any.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, JWH Master’s capital decreased 5.2% from $71,991,640 to $68,240,490. This decrease was attributable to a net loss from operations of $1,784,186 coupled with the redemptions of 1,417.3410 Units of Member Interest totaling $5,053,571 and distribution of interest income to feeder funds totaling $18,019, which was partially offset by the subscriptions of 880.5143 Units of Member Interest totaling $3,104,626. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Partnership’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 7 of the Financial Statements.
The Partnership and JWH Master record all investments at fair value in their financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of net realized gains (losses) and change in net unrealized gains (losses) in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.

Results of Operations
During the Partnership’s second quarter of 2011, the net asset value per unit decreased 10.8% from $1,803.10 to $1,609.13 as compared to an increase of 4.6% in the second quarter of 2010. The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before brokerage fees and related fees in the second quarter of 2011 of $6,020,419. Losses were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s and JWH Masters’ trading of commodity futures in energy, grains, livestock, metals, softs and indices and were partially offset by gains in currencies and U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage fees and related fees in the second quarter of 2010 of $3,332,195. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s and JWH Masters’ trading of commodity futures currencies, U.S. and non U.S. interest rates and metals and were partially offset by losses in energy, grains, livestock, softs and indices.
During the second quarter of 2011, the most significant losses were incurred within the agricultural sector, primarily during May, from long futures positions in soybeans as prices fell due to speculation that U.S. exports may slow as output rose from South America and higher interest rates limit demand in China, the world’s biggest importer of soybeans. Within the energy markets, losses were incurred primarily during May from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices moved lower on speculation that a weakening global economy and the European debt crisis may lead to reduced energy demand. Within the global stock index markets, losses were incurred primarily during June from long positions in U.S., Pacific Rim, and European equity index futures as prices moved lower on concerns about the overall pace of the global economic recovery. Within the metals markets, losses were incurred primarily during May from long positions in silver futures as prices fell sharply from a 31-year high. A portion of the Partnership’s losses for the quarter was offset by gains achieved within the global interest rate markets, primarily during May, from long positions in U.S. fixed-income futures as prices increased following reports that showed the U.S. economy grew less than forecast and U.S. jobless claims unexpectedly rose. Within the currency markets, gains were achieved primarily during April from long positions in the Swiss franc, euro, and British pound versus the U.S. dollar as the value of these currencies rose against the U.S. dollar after better-than-expected corporate earnings reports and signs of global growth spurred demand for higher-yielding currencies.
During the Partnership’s six months ended June 30,2011, the net asset value per unit decreased 7.6% from $1,741.05 to $1,609.13 as compared to a decrease of 1.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before brokerage fees and related fees for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $2,297,200. Losses were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s trading of commodity futures in currencies, grains, non-U.S. interest rates, livestock and indices and were partially offset by gains in energy, U.S. interest rates, metals and softs. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage fees and related fees for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $1,278,834. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s trading of commodity futures in currencies, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, and softs and were partially offset by losses in energy, grains livestock, metals and indices.
During the six months ended 2011, the most significant losses were incurred within the agricultural markets, primarily during May, from futures positions in soybeans as prices moved in a volatile, trendless manner throughout a majority of the first half of the year due to inconsistent supply and demand factors. Within the global stock index markets, losses were incurred primarily during March from long positions in Japanese equity index futures as prices moved sharply lower following the worst earthquake and tsunami in Japanese history. Within the currency markets, losses were incurred primarily during May from long positions in the euro and British pound versus the U.S. dollar as the value of these currencies moved lower against the U.S. dollar after Standard & Poor’s downgraded Greece’s credit rating, prompting concern that the European sovereign debt crisis may escalate. A portion of the Partnership’s losses for the first half of the year was offset by gains achieved within the energy markets during the first four months of the year from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices rose amid an escalation in political instability in the Middle East and North Africa, prompting concerns that crude supplies may be disrupted. Within the metals markets, gains were achieved primarily during February, March, and April from long futures positions in silver and gold as silver futures prices ultimately advanced to a 31-year high and gold futures prices reached an all-time high. Within the global interest rate markets, gains were achieved primarily during May from long positions in U.S. fixed-income futures as prices increased following reports that showed the U.S. economy grew less than forecast and U.S. jobless claims unexpectedly rose.
Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation increase the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increases the potential profit or loss. The profitability of the Partnership and JWH Master depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisor to correctly identify those price trends. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events, and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisor is able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.

Interest income on 80% of the daily average equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s (or the Partnership’s allocable portion of JWH Master) account was earned at the monthly average of the30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate. CGM may continue to maintain the Partnership’s assets in cash. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $10,058 and $3,001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010. The decrease in interest income is due to lower U.S. Treasury bill rates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010. The amount of interest income earned by the Partnership depends on the average daily equity in the Partnership’s and JWH Masters’ accounts and upon interest rates over which neither the Partnership, JWH Master nor CGM has control.
Brokerage fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value on the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be analyzed in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Brokerage fees and clearing fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $162,565 and $386,195, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in brokerage fees and clearing fees is due to higher average net assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010.
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and redemptions. Management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $74,969 and $164,226, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010. The increase in management fees is due to higher average net assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010.
Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by the Advisor at the end of the quarter as defined in the advisory agreements among the Partnership, the General Partner and the Advisor. Trading performance for the three and six month ended June 30, 2011, resulted in incentive fees of $4,081 and $4,693, respectively. There were no incentive fees earned for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
In allocating the assets of the Partnership to the trading Advisor, the General Partner considers the Advisor’s past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets to the trading advisor and may allocate assets to additional advisors at any time.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
The Partnership and JWH Master are speculative commodity pools. The market sensitive instruments held by them are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s 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 Partnership’s and JWH Master’s main line of business.
The risk to the Limited Partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of the Partnership’s assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a result of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s open contracts and, consequently, in its earnings and cash balances. The Partnership’s and JWH Master’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s open contracts and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.
The Partnership and JWH Master rapidly acquire and liquidate both long and short contracts 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 Partnership’s and JWH Master’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of their future results.
“Value at Risk” is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership and JWH Master could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership and JWH Master of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing, as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s attempts to manage their market risk.
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership and JWH Master as the measure of their 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%-99% of anyone-day interval. Maintenance margin has been used rather than the more generally available initial margin, because initial margin includes a credit risk component, which is not relevant to Value at Risk.
Value at Risk tables represent a probabilistic assessment of the risk of loss in market sensitive instruments. The first two tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s and JWH Master’s open positions by market category as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The remaining trading Value at Risk tables reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership directly (i.e., in the managed account in the Partnership’s name traded by JWH) and indirectly by JWH Master separately. There has been no material change in the trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s open positions by market category as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the Partnership’s total capitalization was $59,764,258.

These controls include policies and procedures that:
• | pertain to the maintenance of records, that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership; |
• | provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and (ii) the Partnership’s receipts are handled and expenditures are made only pursuant to authorizations of the General Partner; and |
• | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
