Fair Value Measurements	5. Fair Value Measurements: Partnership’s Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of exchange-traded futures, option and forward contracts is determined by the various exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close of business on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period from various exchanges. The fair value of non-exchange-traded The Partnership considers prices for commodity futures, exchange-traded swap and option contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1).

Financial Instrument Risks	6. Financial Instrument Risks: In the normal course of business, the Partnership is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet over-the-counter Futures Contracts. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. London Metal Exchange Forward Contracts. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments that are traded by the Partnership due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. The Partnership’s market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are or were traded. The Partnership is exposed to market risk equal to the value of the 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 risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default for the Partnership is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and is not, for the Partnership, represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The risk of loss for the Partnership is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Partnership to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership has credit risk and concentration risk, as MS&Co. or an MS&Co. affiliate is the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership’s assets. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments for the Partnership is reduced to the extent that, through MS&Co. or an MS&Co. affiliate, the Partnership’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization. The General Partner monitors and attempts to mitigate the Partnership’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 may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk-adjusted The risk to the limited partners that have purchased Redeemable Units is limited to the amount of their share of the Partnership’s net assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a result of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under New York law. The majority of these financial instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Partnership’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity. In the ordinary course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts and agreements that contain various representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be determined, as this could include future claims that have not yet been made against the Partnership. The General Partner considers the risk of any future obligation relating to these indemnifications to be remote.
