Notes to Financial Statements

1.	Organization:

Ceres Classic L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1998 to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures and forward contracts, forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy and agricultural products (collectively, “Futures Interests”) (refer to Note 4, “Financial Instruments”). The General Partner (as defined below) may also determine to invest up to all of the Partnership’s assets in United States (“U.S.”) Treasury bills and/or money market mutual funds, including money market mutual funds managed by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates.

Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (“Ceres” or the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. The General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Domestic Holdings, Inc. (“MSD Holdings”). MSD Holdings is ultimately owned by Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is a publicly held company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Morgan Stanley is engaged in various financial services and other businesses. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC is doing business as Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management”). This entity currently acts as the placement agent for the Partnership. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is a principal subsidiary of MSD Holdings.

As of September 30, 2021, all trading decisions were made for the Partnership by Graham Capital Management, L.P. (“Graham”), Winton Capital Management Limited (“WCM”), EMC Capital Advisors, LLC (“EMC”) and Campbell & Company, LP (“Campbell”), as the commodity trading advisors to the Partnership (each, a “Trading Advisor” and collectively, the “Trading Advisors”). Each Trading Advisor is allocated a portion of the Partnership’s assets to manage. Prior to January 1, 2021, Graham was the sole trading advisor to the Partnership, and managed the assets of the Partnership pursuant to its

K4D-15V

Program, Graham’s proprietary, trend-following trading program. Ceres is responsible for selecting additional commodity trading advisors from time to time and for replacing Trading Advisors as it deems necessary. Trading advisors can be added, removed, or replaced at any time by Ceres, or Ceres may determine to adjust the allocation of assets to each Trading Advisor, without the consent of, or advance notice to, the limited partners.

As of January 1, 2021, the Partnership invested a portion of its assets in CMF Winton Master L.P., organized in New York as a limited partnership (“CMF Winton” or the “Trading Company”). The Partnership and any other feeder fund investing in the Trading Company constitute the limited partners of the Trading Company. The Trading Company is managed by Ceres Managed Futures LLC. CMF Winton has a single account with WCM. The Trading Company may and will, among other things, trade, buy, sell, spread, or otherwise acquire, hold, or dispose of Futures Interests.

The General Partner is not aware of any material changes to the trading programs discussed above during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021.

During the reporting periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Partnership’s commodity broker was Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”), a registered futures commission merchant. MS&Co. also acts as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts. MS&Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. As of January 1, 2021, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”) acts as prime broker in connection with foreign exchange forward and swap transactions for the Trading Company.

Effective October 2, 2020, the Partnership changed its name from Managed Futures Premier Graham L.P. to Ceres Classic L.P.

As of September 30, 2021, units of limited partnership interest (“Unit(s)”) of the Partnership are being offered in 2 share classes (each, a “Class” or collectively, the “Classes”). A Limited Partner will initially receive Class A Units in the Partnership, provided, that certain investors (other than ERISA/IRA investors) who subscribe for Units on a consulting basis, the General Partner, and certain employees of Morgan Stanley and/or its subsidiaries (and their family members) may be designated to hold Class Z Units. The Partnership previously offered Units in Class D; however, no Limited Partners hold Class D Units as of September 30, 2021, and Class D Units are no longer offered.

Each of Class A and Z Units of the Partnership have the same investment exposure and rights except for the amount of the ongoing placement agent fee charged to each Class of Units; however, Class Z Units are not subject to an ongoing placement agent fee.

Prior to January 1, 2021, the General Partner paid or reimbursed the Partnership for all fees and costs charged or incurred by the commodity brokers for trades executed on behalf of the Partnership, and for all ordinary administrative and offering expenses.

The Trading Company has entered into a foreign exchange brokerage account agreement and a futures brokerage account agreement with MS&Co. The Partnership has also entered into a futures brokerage account agreement with MS&Co. Pursuant to these agreements, the Partnership, directly or indirectly through its investment in the Trading Company, pays MS&Co. (or will reimburse MS&Co., if previously paid) its allocable share of all trading fees for the clearing and, where applicable, execution of transactions as well as exchange, user,

give-up,

floor brokerage and National Futures Association fees (collectively, the “clearing fees”).

The Partnership has also entered into a selling agreement with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (as amended, the “Selling Agreement”). Pursuant to the Selling Agreement, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is paid a monthly ongoing selling agent fee at the rates described above. The ongoing selling agent fee received by Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is shared with the properly registered/exempted financial advisors of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management who sell Class A Units.

The Trading Company entered into certain agreements with JPMorgan in connection with trading in forward foreign currency contracts on behalf of the Trading Company and, indirectly, the Partnership. These agreements include a foreign exchange and bullion authorization agreement (“FX Agreement”), an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. master agreement (“Master Agreement”), a schedule to the Master Agreement, a 2016 credit support annex for variation margin to the schedule and an institutional account agreement. Under the FX Agreement, JPMorgan charges a fee on the aggregate foreign currency transactions entered into on behalf of the Trading Company during a month.

The General Partner has delegated certain administrative functions to SS&C Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, currently doing business as SS&C GlobeOp (the “Administrator”). Pursuant to a master services agreement, the Administrator furnishes certain administrative, accounting, regulatory reporting, tax and other services as agreed from time to time. In addition, the Administrator maintains certain books and records of the Partnership.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

The accompanying financial statements and accompanying notes are unaudited but, in the opinion of the General Partner, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s financial condition at September 30, 2021 and the results of its operations and changes in partners’ capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do not include all of the disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read together with the financial statements and notes included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

(the “Form

10-K”)

filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2020. The December 31, 2020 information has been derived from the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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.

Use of Estimates

. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the General Partner 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, and those differences could be material.

Profit Allocation.

The General Partner and each limited partner of the Partnership 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 is liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of its capital contributions and profits, if any, net of distributions or redemptions and losses, if any.

Statement of Cash Flows.

The Partnership has not provided a Statement of Cash Flows, as permitted by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230,

“Statement of Cash Flows.”

The Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital are included herein, and as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Partnership carried no debt and all of the Partnership’s investments were carried at fair value and classified as Level 1 or Level 2 measurements.

Partnership’s Investment in the Trading Company.

The Partnership carries its investment in the Trading Company based on the Partnership’s (1) net contribution to the Trading Company and (2) its allocated share of the undistributed profits and losses, including realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses, of the Trading Company.

Partnership’s Investments.

All Futures Interests held by the Partnership, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, are held for trading purposes. The Futures Interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described in Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements”) at the measurement date. Investments in Futures 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 and are determined using the

first-in,

first-out

method. Net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account in the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses. The Partnership does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in total trading results in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

Partnership’s Cash

. The cash held by the Partnership that is available for Futures Interests trading is on deposit in a commodity brokerage account with MS&Co. The Partnership’s restricted cash is equal to the cash portion of assets on deposit to meet margin requirements, as determined by the exchange or counterparty, and required by MS&Co. All of these amounts are maintained separately. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $27,048,997 and $15,232,825, respectively. Cash that is not classified as restricted cash is therefore classified as unrestricted cash. Restricted and unrestricted cash includes cash denominated in foreign currencies of $174,283 (cost of $164,182) and $(415,847) (proceeds of $415,309) as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes.

Income taxes have not been recorded as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnership’s income and expenses. The Partnership follows the guidance of ASC 740,

“Income Taxes,”

which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are

“more-likely-than-not”

of being sustained “when challenged” or “when examined” by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions determined not to meet the

more-likely-than-not

threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or liability in the Statements of Financial Condition for the current year. If a tax position does not meet the minimum statutory threshold to avoid the incurring of penalties, an expense for the amount of the statutory penalty and interest, if applicable, shall be recognized in the Partnership’s Statements of Income and Expenses in the periods in which the position is claimed or expected to be claimed. The General Partner has concluded that there are 0 significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The 2017 through 2020 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

Investment Company Status.

The Partnership has been deemed to be an investment company since inception. Accordingly, the Partnership follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, “

Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements

” and reflects its investments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

Net Income (Loss) per Unit.

Net income (loss) per Unit is calculated in accordance with ASC 946,

“Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

See Note 3, “Financial Highlights.”

There have been no material changes with respect to the Partnership’s critical accounting policies as reported in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Total return after incentive fees		(0.2)	%		(0.1)	%		4.2	%		7.6	%		8.2	%		(11.6)	%

Net investment loss per Unit is calculated by dividing the interest income less total expenses by the average number of Units outstanding during the period. The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per Unit is a balancing amount necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per Unit with the other per unit information.

** Annualized (except for incentive fees).

*** Interest income less total expenses.

**** Due to rounding

The above ratios and total return may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the period. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the limited partner class using the limited partners’ share of income, expenses and average partners’ capital of the Partnership and include the income and expenses allocated from the Trading Company.

4. Financial Instruments:

The Partnership trades Futures Interests. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price.

The fair value of an exchange-traded contract is based on the settlement price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which fair value is being determined. If an exchange-traded contract could not have been liquidated on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the exchange, the settlement price will be equal to the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated.

The General Partner estimates that, at any given time, approximately 30.2% to 37.6% of the Partnership’s contracts are traded

over-the-counter.

In general, the risks associated with

non-exchange-traded

contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded contracts because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to a

non-exchange-traded

contract. The Partnership has credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance. As of the date of the financial statements, the credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnership trades is limited to the unrealized gain amounts reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition.

The Partnership also has credit risk because MS&Co. acts as the commodity futures broker, or the counterparty, with respect to most of the Partnership’s assets. Exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded forward contracts are fair valued on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. With respect to the Partnership’s

non-exchange-traded

forward currency contracts, there are no daily settlements of variation in value, nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on such contracts be segregated. However, the Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in the Partnership’s accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at MS&Co., for the benefit of MS&Co. With respect to those

non-exchange-traded

forward currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk to the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. The Partnership has a netting agreement with MS&Co. The primary terms are based on industry standard master netting agreements. This agreement, which seeks to reduce both the Partnership’s and MS&Co.’s exposure on

non-exchange-traded

forward currency contracts, should materially decrease the Partnership’s credit risk in the event of MS&Co.’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

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 performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, online monitoring systems provide account analysis of U.S. Treasury bills, futures, forward and option contracts by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

The Futures Interests traded, and the U.S. Treasury bills held, by the Partnership involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial instruments and commodities, factors that result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions, and consequently, in its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Gains and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded forward contracts are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on

non-exchange-traded

forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of the contract.

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.

Since its discovery in December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as

COVID-19,

has spread from China to many other countries, including the United States. The outbreak has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary has declared a public health emergency in the United States in response to the outbreak.

The

COVID-19

pandemic and related voluntary and government-imposed social and business restrictions has impacted global economic conditions and adversely affected various industries (including, but not limited to, transportation, hospitality and entertainment), resulting in volatility in the global financial markets, disruption in global supply chains, increased unemployment, and operational challenges such as the temporary and permanent closures of businesses,

sheltering-in-place

directives and increased remote work protocols. If the pandemic continues to be prolonged or the actions of governments and central banks are unsuccessful, including actions to facilitate the comprehensive distribution of effective vaccines, the adverse impact on the global economy will deepen.

Given the continuing development of this situation, it is not possible to accurately predict how the market disruptions caused by

COVID-19

will further impact the U.S and other world economies or the value of the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s investments, or for how long the effects of such events will continue. Nevertheless, the novel coronavirus continues to present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s investments and operations.

5. Trading Activities:

The Partnership’s objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures Interests. Therefore, the Trading Advisor will take speculative positions in Futures Interests where it feels the best profit opportunities exist for its trading strategy. As such, the average number of contracts outstanding in absolute quantities (the total of the open long and open short positions) has been presented as a part of the volume disclosure, as position direction is not an indicative factor in such volume disclosures.

All of the Futures Interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. The monthly average number of futures contracts traded during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 7,622 and 3,694, respectively. The monthly average number of futures contracts traded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 7,377 and 4,094, respectively. The monthly average number of metals forward contracts traded during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 826 and 297, respectively. The monthly average number of metals forward contracts traded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 676 and 459, respectively. The monthly average notional values of currency forward contracts traded during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $1,012,277,119 and $317,131,981, respectively. The monthly average notional values of currency forward contracts traded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $796,039,895 and $312,006,292, respectively.

The following tables summarize the gross and net amounts recognized relating to the assets and liabilities of the Partnership’s derivative instruments and transactions eligible for offset subject to master netting agreements or similar arrangements as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively

In the event of default by the Partnership, MS&Co., the Partnership’s commodity futures broker and the sole counterparty to the Partnership’s

non-exchange-traded

contracts, as applicable, has the right to offset the Partnership’s obligation with the Partnership’s cash and/or U.S. Treasury bills held by MS&Co., thereby minimizing MS&Co.’s risk of loss. In certain instances, MS&Co. may not post collateral and as such, in the event of default by MS&Co., the Partnership is exposed to the amount shown in the Statements of Financial Condition. In the case of exchange-traded contracts, the Partnership’s exposure to counterparty risk may be reduced since the exchange’s clearinghouse interposes its credit between buyer and seller and the clearinghouse’s guarantee funds may be available in the event of a default. In some instances, the actual collateral received and/or pledged may be more than the amount shown due to overcollateralization.

6. Fair Value Measurements:

Partnership’s and the Trading Company’s Fair Value Measurements.

Fair value is defined as the value 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.

The fair value of exchange-traded futures, forward and option 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

foreign currency option contracts is calculated by applying an industry standard model application for options valuation of foreign currency options, using as input the spot prices, interest rates and option implied volatilities quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period. U.S. Treasury bills are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services as of the close of the last business day of the reporting period.

The Partnership and the Trading Company consider prices for commodity futures, swap and option contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1). The values of U.S. Treasury bills,

non-exchange-traded

forward, swap and certain option contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by pricing services that derive fair values for those assets and liabilities from observable inputs (Level 2). As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Partnership and the Trading Company did not hold any derivative instruments that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of the General Partner’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

7. Investment in the Trading Company:

On January 1, 2021, the assets allocated to WCM for trading were invested in CMF Winton, a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. CMF Winton permits accounts managed by WCM using the Winton Futures Program, a proprietary, systematic trading system, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the general partner of CMF Winton. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by WCM, including the Partnership, are permitted to be limited partners of CMF Winton. The General Partner and WCM believe that trading through this structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process. The General Partner and WCM have agreed that WCM will trade the Partnership’s assets allocated to WCM at a level that is up to 1.5 times the amount of assets allocated, provided that the General Partner may instruct WCM to change such level in accordance with the investment management agreement from time to time.

The General Partner is not aware of any material changes to the trading program discussed above during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021.

The Partnership’s/Trading Company’s trading of futures, forward, swap, and option contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on U.S. and foreign commodity exchanges. The Partnership/Trading Company engage in such trading through commodity brokerage accounts maintained with MS&Co.

Generally, a limited partner in the Trading Company may withdraw all or part of its capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Trading Company as of the end of any month (the “Redemption Date”) after a request has been made to the Trading Manager at least three days in advance of the Redemption Date. Such withdrawals are classified as a liability when the limited partner elects to redeem and informs the Trading Company. However, a limited partner may request a withdrawal as of the end of any day if such request is received by the Trading Manager at least three days in advance of the proposed withdrawal date.

Management fees, General Partner fees, ongoing selling fees and incentive fees are charged at the Partnership level. All clearing fees paid to MS&Co. are borne directly by the Partnership for its direct trading. In addition, clearing fees are borne by the Trading Company and allocated to the Trading Company’s limited partners, including the Partnership. Professional fees are borne by the Trading Company and allocated to the Partnership, and also charged directly at the Partnership level.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. Its assets are its (i) investment in the Trading Company, (ii) redemptions receivable from the Trading Company, (iii) equity in trading account, consisting of restricted and unrestricted cash, net unrealized appreciation on open futures contracts and net unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts, as applicable, (iv) interest receivable and (v) expense reimbursement. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership, through its direct investments. While substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity, no such illiquidity occurred in the third quarter of 2021.

The Partnership’s/Trading Company’s investment in Futures Interests may, from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If the price for a particular futures or option contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that futures or option contract can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership/Trading Company from promptly liquidating its futures or option contracts and result in restrictions on redemptions.

There is no limitation on daily price movements in trading forward contracts on foreign currencies. The markets for some world currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may prevent the Partnership/Trading Company from trading in potentially profitable markets or prevent the Partnership/Trading Company from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could result in restrictions on redemptions. For the periods covered by this report, illiquidity has not materially affected the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s assets.

Other than the risks inherent in commodity futures, forwards, options, swaps and other derivatives trading and U.S. Treasury bills and money market mutual fund securities, the General Partner knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties at the present time that are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

The Partnership’s capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by net realized and/or unrealized gains or losses on trading and by expenses, interest income, subscriptions and redemptions of Units.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Partnership’s capital increased 137.3% from $61,449,558 to $145,843,563. This increase was attributable to subscriptions of 4,259,217.890 Class A limited partner Units totaling $89,741,721, subscriptions of 206,904.961 Class Z General Partner Units totaling $1,841,454, subscriptions of 11,079.649 Class Z limited partner Units totaling $99,016 and a net income of $10,882,014 which was partially offset by redemptions of 782,139.040 Class A limited partner Units totaling $17,085,106 and redemptions of 123,960.605 Class Z General Partner Units totaling $1,085,094. Future redemptions could impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.

Other than as discussed above, there are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, that would affect, nor any expected material changes to, the Partnership’s capital resource arrangements at the present time.

Off-Balance

Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The Partnership does not have any

off-balance

sheet arrangements, nor does it have contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments, that would affect its liquidity or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the General Partner 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 periods. The General Partner 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 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Financial Statements.

The Partnership/Trading Company records all investments at fair value in its financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of net realized gains (losses) and net change in unrealized gains (losses) in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

Results of Operations

During the Partnership’s third quarter of 2021, the net asset value per Unit for Class A decreased 0.2% from $22.72 to $22.67 as compared to an increase of 4.2% during the third quarter of 2020. During the Partnership’s third quarter of 2021, the net asset value per Unit for Class Z decreased 0.1% from $9.64 to $9.63 as compared to an increase of 4.4% during the third quarter of 2020. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before fees and expenses in the third quarter of 2021 of $1,210,774. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading of Futures Interests in currencies, energy, metals and softs and were partially offset by losses in grains, indices, U.S. and

non-U.S.

interest rates and livestock. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before fees and expenses in the third quarter of 2020 of $3,506,566. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading of Futures Interests in energy, indices,

non-U.S.

interest rates and metals and were partially offset by losses in currencies, grains, U.S. interest rates and softs.

The Partnership’s most significant gains were achieved within the energy sector during September from long positions in natural gas and crude oil futures as supply chain constrictions boosted global energy prices. Within the currency markets, gains were recorded during September from short positions in the euro, Japanese yen, Australian dollar and Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the U.S. currency strengthened. Within the agricultural markets, gains were experienced during August from long positions in sugar futures and during September from long positions in cotton futures as commodity prices were boosted by inflationary pressures. Smaller gains were recorded within the metals sector during July from long positions in nickel futures as prices rallied on signs of tightening global supplies. The Partnership’s gains for the quarter were offset by losses incurred within the global fixed income sector during September from long positions in European, U.S., and Australian fixed income futures as prices declined amid an expectation for central banks to begin to taper asset purchases and other monetary easing measures sooner than expected. Further losses were recorded during September within the global stock index sector from long positions in U.S. equity index futures as concerns over the strength of the global economy weighed on stock prices.

During the Partnership’s nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net asset value per Unit for Class A increased 7.6% from $21.07 to $22.67 as compared to a decrease of 11.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the Partnership’s nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net asset value per Unit for Class Z increased 8.2% from $8.90 to $9.63 as compared to a decrease of 10.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before fees and expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $16,002,043. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading of Futures Interests in currencies, energy, grains, indices, metals and softs and were partially offset by losses in U.S. and

non-U.S.

interest rates and livestock. The Partnership experienced a net trading loss before fees and expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $7,395,325. Losses were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading of Futures Interests in currencies, indices and softs and were partially offset by gains in energy, grains, U.S. and

non-U.S.

interest rates and metals.

The most notable trading gains were experienced within the energy sector during September from long positions in natural gas and crude oil futures as supply chain constrictions boosted global energy prices. Additional gains in the energies were recorded during February and June from long futures positions in crude oil and its refined products as prices surged on an outlook for increased global demand. During February, March, April, and August additional gains were recorded in global stock indices from long positions in U.S., Asian, and European equity index futures as stock prices rallied on an optimistic outlook for global economic growth. Within the agricultural sector, gains were achieved during April from long positions in corn, wheat, and soybean futures as supply constraints and growing consumption demand boosted grain prices. Gains were also experienced within the currency markets primarily during March from short positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the relative value of the dollar advanced as the rollout of the

COVID-19

vaccine gained momentum in the U.S. Within the metals sector, gains were achieved during February, April and May from long positions in copper futures as prices moved higher amid signs of tightening global stockpiles. The Partnership’s overall trading gains for the first nine months of the year were partially offset by trading losses recorded in the global fixed income sector during January and February from long positions in U.S., Australian, Canadian and European bond futures as interest rates moved higher, pressuring prices lower. Losses within the global fixed income sector were also experienced throughout a majority of the second and third quarters.

Commodity markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation increase not only the risk involved in commodity trading, but also the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Trading 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 Trading Advisor is able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.

The Partnership receives monthly interest on 100% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s account during each month at a rate equal to 100% of the monthly average of the

4-week

U.S. Treasury bill discount rate. Prior to January 1, 2021, the Partnership received monthly interest on 100% of its average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s account during each month at a rate equal to 80% of the monthly average of the

4-week

U.S. Treasury bill discount rate. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership will not receive interest on amounts in the futures brokerage account that are committed to margin. Any interest earned on the Partnership’s cash account in excess of the amounts described above, if any, will be retained by MS&Co. and/or shared with the General Partner. All interest earned on U.S. Treasury bills and money market fund securities will be retained by the Partnership, as applicable. Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $1,939 and decreased by $164,257, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2020. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. Interest earned by the Partnership will increase the net asset value of the Partnership. The amount of interest income earned by the Partnership depends on (1) the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s accounts, (2) the amount of U.S. Treasury bills and/or money market mutual fund securities held by the Partnership and (3) interest rates over which none of the Partnership or MS&Co. has control.

Certain clearing fees are based on the number of trades executed by the Trading Advisors for the Partnership. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the number of trades executed during the period. Clearing fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $85,733 and $206,294, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2020. The increase in these clearing fees was primarily due to an increase in the number of trades made by the Partnership during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2020.

Ongoing placement agent fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s Class A adjusted net assets on the first day of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions, and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Ongoing placement agent fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $109,433 and decreased by $58,292, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in Class A adjusted net assets during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the ongoing placement agent fee rate to 1/12

of 0.75% for Class A Units effective January 1, 2021.

General Partner fees are paid to the General Partner for administering the business and affairs of the Partnership. The General Partner’s fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the beginning of each month and are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. General Partner’s fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $14,230 and $182,942, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the General Partner fee rate to 1/12

of 0.75% effective January 1, 2021. Prior to January 1, 2021, the General Partner paid or reimbursed the Partnership for all fees and costs charged or incurred by the commodity brokers for trades executed on behalf of the Partnership, and for all ordinary administrative and offering expenses. Effective January 1, 2021, the Partnership directly pays the brokerage fees and other transaction-related fees and expenses, as incurred and also pays its ongoing administrative, operating, offering and organizational expenses (including, but not limited to, periodic legal, accounting, administrative, filing, reporting and data processing fees) and its pro rata share of such expenses of any trading company to which the Partnership has allocated assets.

Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the beginning of each month and are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $252,335 and $723,996, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in average net assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2020.

Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by the Trading Advisors at the end of the year as defined in the management agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and the relevant Trading Advisor. Trading performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 resulted in incentive fees of $241,908 and $1,177,264, respectively. To the extent that a Trading Advisor incurs a loss for the Partnership, the Trading Advisor will not be paid incentive fees until such Trading Advisor recovers any net loss incurred and earns additional new trading profits for the Partnership.

In allocating substantially all of the assets of the Partnership among the Trading Advisors, the General Partner considers, among other factors, the Trading Advisors’ 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 Advisors and allocate assets to additional advisors at any time.

As of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Partnership’s assets were allocated among the Trading Advisors in the following approximate percentages:


			September 30, 2021				June 30, 2021
			(percentage of				(percentage of
Advisor	September 30, 2021		Partners’ Capital)		June 30, 2021		Partners’ Capital)
Campbell	$	32,487,681		22%	$	30,454,377		20%
EMC		13,433,494		9%		13,356,829		9%

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Introduction

The Partnership and the Trading Company are commodity pools engaged primarily in the speculative trading of Futures Interests. The market-sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired for speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets are at risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-sensitive instruments is inherent to the primary business activity of the Partnership.

The Futures Interests on such contracts traded by the Partnership involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of held interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial instruments and commodities, factors that result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions, and consequently in its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Gains and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward and exchange-traded futures-styled option contracts are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on

non-exchange-traded

forward currency contracts and forward currency option contracts are settled upon termination of the contract. Gains and losses on

non-exchange-traded

forward currency option contracts are settled on an agreed-upon settlement date.

The Partnership’s total market risk may increase or decrease as it is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the diversification among the Partnership’s open positions, the volatility present within the markets, and the liquidity of the markets.

The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership is typically many times the applicable margin requirements. Margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of leverage causes the face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership typically to be many times the total capitalization of the Partnership.

The Partnership’s past performance is no guarantee of its future results. Any attempt to numerically quantify the Partnership’s market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its speculative trading. The Partnership’s speculative trading and use of leverage may cause future losses and volatility (i.e., “risk of ruin”) that far exceed the Partnership’s experience to date as discussed under the “Partnership’s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors” section and significantly exceed the Value at Risk tables disclosed.

Limited partners will not be liable for losses exceeding the current net asset value of their investment.

Quantifying the Partnership’s and the Trading Company’s Trading Value at Risk

The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact.

The Partnership/Trading Company accounts for open positions on the basis of fair value accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of the Partnership’s open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s earnings and cash flow.

The Partnership’s/Trading Company’s risk exposure in the market sectors traded by the Trading Advisors is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk. Please note that the Value at Risk model is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either Ceres or the Trading Advisor in their daily risk management activities.

Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership/Trading Company could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s speculative trading and the recurrence of market movements far exceeding expectations in the markets traded by the Partnership/Trading Company could result in actual trading or

non-trading

losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership’s/Trading Company’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/Trading Company’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s attempts to manage its market risk.

Exchange margin requirements have been used by the Partnership/Trading Company as the measure of its Value at Risk. 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 any

one-day

interval. The margin levels are established by dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term

one-day

price fluctuation.

Value at Risk tables represent a probabilistic assessment of the risk of loss in market sensitive instruments. The first trading Value at Risk table reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership directly and through its investments in the Trading Company. The remaining trading Value at Risk tables reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership directly (i.e. in the managed accounts in the Partnership’s name traded by certain Trading Advisors) and indirectly by the Trading Company separately. There have been no material changes in the trading Value at Risk,

non-trading

risk and risk management information previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s open positions by market category as of September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Partnership’s total capitalization was $145,843,563.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership on the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods expected in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President (the General Partner’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the General Partner’s principal financial officer) of the General Partner, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.

The General Partner is responsible for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the Partnership’s external disclosures.

The General Partner’s President and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules

13a-15(e)

and

15d-15(e)

under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2021 and, based on that evaluation, the General Partner’s President and CFO have concluded that, at that date, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The Partnership’s

internal control over financial reporting

is a process under the supervision of the General Partner’s President and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. 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 and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

This section describes the major pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which MS&Co. or its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership or the General Partner.

On June 1, 2011, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company. As a result of that conversion, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated is now named Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”).

MS&Co. is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, a Delaware holding company. Morgan Stanley files periodic reports with the SEC as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which include current descriptions of material litigation and material proceedings and investigations, if any, by governmental and/or regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations concerning Morgan Stanley and its subsidiaries, including MS&Co. As a consolidated subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, MS&Co. does not file its own periodic reports with the SEC that contain descriptions of material litigation, proceedings and investigations. As a result, we refer you to the “Legal Proceedings” section of Morgan Stanley’s SEC 10-K filings for 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015. In addition, MS&Co. annually prepares an Audited, Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition (“Audited Financial Statement”) that is publicly available on Morgan Stanley’s website at

www.morganstanley.com

. We refer you to the Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies – Legal section of MS&Co.’s 2020 Audited Financial Statement.

In addition to the matters described in those filings, in the normal course of business, each of Morgan Stanley and MS&Co. has been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions, and other litigation, arising in connection with its activities as a global diversified financial services institution. Certain of the legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. Each of Morgan Stanley and MS&Co. is also involved, from time to time, in investigations and proceedings by governmental and/or regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, fines or penalties. The number of these investigations and proceedings has increased in recent years with regard to many financial services institutions, including Morgan Stanley and MS&Co.

MS&Co. is a Delaware limited liability company with its main business office located at 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036. Among other registrations and memberships, MS&Co. is registered as a futures commission merchant and is a member of the National Futures Association.

During the preceding five years, the following administrative, civil, or criminal actions pending, on appeal or concluded against MS&Co. or any of its principals are material within the meaning of CFTC Rule 4.24(l)(2) or 4.34(k)(2):

Regulatory and Governmental Matters.

On April 21, 2015, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (CBOE) and the CBOE Futures Exchange, LLC (CFE) filed statements of charges against MS&Co. in connection with trading by one of MS&Co.’s former traders of EEM options contracts that allegedly disrupted the final settlement price of the November 2012 VXEM futures. CBOE alleged that MS&Co.

violated CBOE Rules 4.1, 4.2 and 4.7, Sections 9(a) and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. CFE alleged that MS&Co. violated CFE Rules 608, 609 and 620. The matters were resolved on July 12, 2016 and June 28, 2016, respectively, without any findings of fraud. Pursuant to the settlements, MS&Co. was required to pay a $750,000 penalty to the CBOE (for which MS&Co. and an individual were jointly and severally liable) and a $400,000 penalty to the CFE (for which MS&Co. and an individual were jointly and severally liable) and $152,664 in disgorgement.

On December 20, 2016, MS&Co. consented to and became the subject of an order by the SEC in connection with allegations that MS&Co. willfully violated Sections 15(c)(3) and 17(a)(1) of the Exchange Act and Rules 15c3-3(e), 17a-5(a), and 17a-5(d) thereunder, by inaccurately calculating its Reserve Account requirement under Rule 15c3-3 by including margin loans to an affiliate in its calculations, which resulted in making inaccurate records and submitting inaccurate reports to the SEC. Without admitting or denying the underlying allegations and without adjudication of any issue of law or fact, MS&Co. consented to a cease and desist order, a censure, and a civil monetary penalty of $7.5 million.

On September 28, 2017, the CFTC issued an order filing and simultaneously settling charges against MS&Co. regarding violations of CFTC Rule 166.3 by failing to diligently supervise the reconciliation of exchange and clearing fees with the amounts it ultimately charged customers for certain transactions on multiple exchanges. The order and settlement required MS&Co. to pay a $500,000 penalty and cease and desist from violating CFTC Rule 166.3.

On November 2, 2017, the CFTC issued an order filing and simultaneously settling charges against MS&Co. for non-compliance with applicable rules governing Part 17 Large Trader reports to the CFTC. The order requires MS&Co. to pay a $350,000 penalty and cease and desist from further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act.

On September 30, 2020, the SEC entered into a settlement order with MS&Co. settling an administrative action which relates to MS&Co.’s violations of the order marking requirements of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act resulting from its improper use of aggregation units in structuring the Firm’s equity swaps business. The order found that MS&Co. improperly operated its equity swaps business without netting certain “long” and “short” positions as required by Rule 200(c) of Regulation SHO. The order found that the long exposure to an equity security (the “Long Unit”) and the short exposure to an equity security (the “Short Unit”) were not independent from one another and did not have separate trading strategies or objectives without regard to each other, and that the Long and Short Units were not eligible for the exception in Rule 200(f) of Regulation SHO. The order found that MS&Co. willfully violated Section 200(g) of Regulation SHO. MS&Co. consented, without admitting or denying the findings and without adjudication of any issue of law or fact, to a censure; to cease and desist from committing or causing future violations; to pay a civil penalty of $5 million; and to comply with the undertaking enumerated in the order.

Civil Litigation

On May 17, 2013, plaintiff in

IKB International S.A. in Liquidation, et al. v. Morgan Stanley, et al.

filed a complaint against MS&Co. and certain affiliates in the Supreme Court of NY. The complaint alleges that defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions in the sale to plaintiff of certain mortgage pass-through certificates backed by securitization trusts containing residential mortgage loans. The total amount of certificates allegedly sponsored, underwritten and/or sold by MS&Co. to plaintiff was approximately $133 million. The complaint alleges causes of action against MS&Co. for common law fraud, fraudulent concealment, aiding and abetting fraud, and negligent misrepresentation, and seeks, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages. On October 29, 2014, the court granted in part and denied in part MS&Co.’s motion to dismiss. All claims regarding four certificates were dismissed. After these dismissals, the remaining amount of certificates allegedly issued by MS&Co. or sold to plaintiff by MS&Co. was approximately $116 million. On August 11, 2016, the First Department affirmed the trial court’s decision denying in part MS&Co.’s motion to dismiss the complaint. At December 25, 2019, the current unpaid balance of the mortgage pass-through certificates at issue in this action was approximately $22 million, and the certificates had incurred actual losses of $58 million. Based on currently available information, MS&Co. believes it could incur a loss in this action up to the difference between the $22 million unpaid balance of these certificates (plus any losses incurred) and their fair market value at the time of a judgment against MS&Co., or upon sale, plus pre- and post-judgment interest, fees and costs. MS&Co. may be entitled to be indemnified for some of these losses and to an offset for interest received by the plaintiff prior to a judgment.

In August of 2017, MS&Co. was named as a defendant in a purported antitrust class action in the United States District Court for the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York styled

Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System et al. v. Bank of America Corporation et al.

Plaintiffs allege, inter alia, that MS&Co., together with a number of other financial institution defendants, violated U.S. antitrust laws and New York state law in connection with their alleged efforts to prevent the development of electronic exchange-based platforms for securities lending. The class action complaint was filed on behalf of a purported class of borrowers and lenders who entered into stock loan transactions with the defendants. The class action complaint seeks, among other relief, certification of the class of plaintiffs and treble damages. On September 27, 2018, the court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the class action complaint.

the super senior portion of the STACK 2006-1 CDO. The complaint asserted claims for common law fraud, fraudulent inducement and fraudulent concealment and alleges that MS&Co. misrepresented the risks of the STACK 2006-1 CDO to CDIB, and that MS&Co knew that the assets backing the CDO were of poor quality when it entered into the CDS with CDIB. On March 22, 2021, the parties entered into a settlement agreement. On April 16, 2021, the court entered a stipulation of voluntary discontinuance, with prejudice.

Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco v. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. et al.

An amended complaint, filed on June 10, 2010, alleged that defendants made untrue statements and material omissions in connection with the sale to plaintiff of certain mortgage pass-through certificates backed by securitization trusts containing residential mortgage loans. The amount of certificates allegedly sold to plaintiff by MS&Co. was approximately $276 million. The complaint raised claims under both the federal securities laws and California law and sought, among other things, to rescind the plaintiff’s purchase of such certificates. On December 21, 2016, the parties reached an agreement to settle the litigation.

On October 15, 2010, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago filed a complaint against MS&Co. and other defendants in the Circuit Court of the State of Illinois, styled

On April 20, 2011, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston filed a complaint against MS&Co. and other defendants in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts styled

Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston v. Ally Financial, Inc. F/K/A GMAC LLC et al.

An amended complaint was filed on June 29, 2012 and alleged that defendants made untrue statements and material omissions in the sale to plaintiff of certain mortgage pass-through certificates backed by securitization trusts containing residential mortgage loans. The total amount of certificates allegedly issued by MS&Co. or sold to plaintiff by MS&Co. was approximately $385 million. The amended complaint raised claims under the Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act, the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act and common law and sought, among other things, to rescind the plaintiff’s purchase of such certificates. On November 25, 2013, July 16, 2014, and May 19, 2015, respectively, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed its claims against MS&Co. with respect to three of the securitizations at issue. After these voluntary dismissals, the remaining amount of certificates allegedly issued by MS&Co. or sold to plaintiff by MS&Co. was approximately $332 million. On July 13, 2018, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation.

On May 3, 2013, plaintiffs in

Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank AG et al. v. Morgan Stanley et al.

filed a complaint against MS&Co., certain affiliates, and other defendants in the Supreme Court of NY. The complaint alleged that defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions in the sale to plaintiffs of certain mortgage pass-through certificates backed by securitization trusts containing residential mortgage loans. The total amount of certificates

allegedly sponsored, underwritten and/or sold by MS&Co. to plaintiff was approximately $634 million. The complaint alleged causes of action against MS&Co. for common law fraud, fraudulent concealment, aiding and abetting fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and rescission and sought, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages. On June 26, 2018, the parties entered into an agreement to settle the litigation.

On April 1, 2016, the California Attorney General’s Office filed an action against MS&Co. in California state court styled

California v. Morgan Stanley, et al.

, on behalf of California investors, including the California Public Employees’ Retirement System and the California Teachers’ Retirement System. The complaint alleged that MS&Co. made misrepresentations and omissions regarding residential mortgage-backed securities and notes issued by the Cheyne SIV, and asserted violations of the California False Claims Act and other state laws and sought treble damages, civil penalties, disgorgement, and injunctive relief.

Beginning on March 25, 2019, MS&Co. was named as a defendant in a series of putative class action complaints filed in the Southern District of NY, the first of which is styled

Alaska Electrical Pension Fund v. BofA Secs., Inc., et al

. Each complaint alleged a conspiracy to fix prices and restrain competition in the market for unsecured bonds issued by the following Government-Sponsored Enterprises: the Federal National Mortgage Association; the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation; the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation; and the Federal Home Loan Banks. The purported class period for each suit is from January 1, 2012 to June 1, 2018. Each complaint raised a claim under Section 1 of the Sherman Act and sought, among other things, injunctive relief and treble compensatory damages. On May 23, 2019, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint styled

In re GSE Bonds Antitrust Litigation

, with a purported class period from January 1, 2009 to January 1, 2016. On June 13, 2019, the defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On August 29, 2019, the court denied MS&Co.’s motion to dismiss. On December 15, 2019, MS&Co. and certain other defendants entered into a stipulation of settlement to resolve the action as against each of them in its entirety. On June 16, 2020, the court granted final approval of the settlement.

MS&Co. may establish reserves from time to time in connections with such actions.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, there were no additional subscriptions of Class A and Class Z Units. Units are issued in reliance upon applicable exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Section 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Units are purchased by accredited investors as defined in Regulation D. In determining the applicability of the exemption, the General Partner relies on the fact that the Units are purchased by accredited investors in a private offering.

Proceeds of net offering are used for the trading of Futures Interests.

The following chart sets forth the purchases of Units by the Partnership.


Period	Class A (a) Total Number of Units Purchased*		Class A (b) Average Price Paid per Unit**		(c) Total Number of Units Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs		(d) Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Units that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs

* Generally, limited partners are permitted to redeem their Units as of the end of each month on three business days’ notice to the General Partner. Under certain circumstances, the General Partner can compel redemption, although to date the General Partner has not exercised this right. Purchases of Units by the Partnership reflected in the chart above were made in the ordinary course of the Partnership’s business in connection with effecting redemptions for limited partners.
