Fund results for October 2011:
The Fund’s trading strategies posted disappointing results in October as renewed optimism precipitated a return to risk after September’s historic liquidation. Indices led the way higher, posting impressive gains as strong U.S. corporate earnings and GDP figures and a preliminary debt crisis agreement in Europe sent values higher. While central bank statements remained downbeat, bonds sold off as the bold action in Europe in dealing with the debt crisis inspired optimism. Crude oil and base metals also rallied as September’s losses appeared to have attracted renewed physical demand. Gold futures recovered from recent slides as weakening in the U.S. dollar and prospects for easy money in the U.S. and Europe for the foreseeable future supported values. Currencies reversed as yield-seeking investors redeployed capital after the euro-zone averted disaster, Japanese authorities intervened, and commodity currencies rose. Agricultural products finished mixed as a weaker U.S. dollar was offset by higher production. The Fund’s short-term strategies were unable to keep pace with the velocity of the change in direction as losses in bonds, currencies, energies and stocks offset gains in metals trading.
The Fund experienced significant losses in bonds markets in October. Losses in bond markets arose as optimism over the economic outlook strengthened as the month progressed. U.S. and German bond yields rallied from their lows even as consumer confidence remained depressed as European policy makers tackled their sovereign debt issue in a comprehensive manner.
The Fund’s allocation to currencies produced losses in October as the risk on/risk off dynamic that has prevailed in 2011 continued with a dramatic return to risk. September’s U.S. dollar liquidity operations and substantial progress between European sovereigns, banks, and bond holders on a way forward out of the debt crisis combined to send the euro 3.7% higher. The late-month debt agreement prompted a temporary return to risk, sending capital flowing back into European regionals such as
Norway, Russia, Sweden and Poland. Commodity currencies also benefitted as macroeconomic risks receded with strong U.S. corporate earnings and a 2.5% rise in 3rd quarter U.S. GDP. The Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and Brazilian real moved sharply higher in yet another extreme move. The Japanese government intervened for the 4th time in just over a year, sending the yen to intra-day declines of 4.7% after reaching post-war highs against the dollar earlier in the month.
Allocations to stock and global energy markets also yielded negative returns in October. The Fund’s strategies in global equity markets suffered as markets reversed higher in volatile trade. U.S. equities led the way with the S&P 500 rising 11% for the month. Although consumer confidence and employment figures remained weak, investors gained confidence on impressive corporate earnings and U.S. GDP growth. In Europe, concerns over sovereign debt issues abated as the late-month summit finally yielded some tangible solutions to the crisis. The Fund’s allocations to global energy markets underperformed as encouraging economic news out of the U.S. and increasing optimism from European policy makers caused a sharp reversal from September’s liquidation.

Except as updated hereby, all information in the Prospectus is current as of its date.

Prospective investors should review the contents of both this Supplement and the Prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest in Superfund Green, L.P.
THE RISKS YOU FACE
MF Global Exposure; Reserves Taken as a Result of such MF Global Exposure
On October 31, 2011, MF Global reported to the SEC and CFTC possible deficiencies in customer segregated accounts held at the firm. As a result, the SEC and CFTC determined that a liquidation led by SIPC would be the safest and most prudent course of action to protect customer accounts and assets, and SIPC initiated the liquidation of MF Global under the Securities Investor Protection Act.
The Fund held assets on deposit in accounts at MF Global as of October 31, 2011, the date that the liquidation proceedings commenced with respect to MF Global. As a result of such liquidation proceedings, customer accounts at MF Global were, and continue to be as of the date hereof, frozen, at least in part, including accounts belonging to the Fund. On November 2, 2011, the CFTC reported an estimated 11.6% shortfall in the customer segregated funds account of MF Global. On November 21,
2011, the SIPC liquidation Trustee announced that the shortfall in the customer segregated funds account could be as much as 22% or more. Following discussions with the Fund’s auditor, the General Partner caused the Fund to take a reserve to account for the Fund’s estimated exposure to such 22% shortfall as of October 31, 2011. The foregoing reserve was based upon information available at the time such reserve was taken and is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, although there can be no assurance that any actual shortfall will not be greater than the Trustee’s estimate (or that customer funds will not be located reducing the estimated shortfall). As additional information becomes available, additional reserves may be taken or prior reserves reversed, which will be accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as of the time that such information is then available (and not as of the date that the liquidation proceedings commenced with respect to MF Global). As a result, all Limited Partners will participate in any future reserves taken (resulting in decreases in the Fund’s net asset value) or any reversal of prior reserves (resulting in increases in the Fund’s net asset value) to the extent that such Limited Partner holds Units at the time that such reserve is taken or reversed.
THE CLEARING BROKERS; ADMINISTRATION
Under this heading, the following is added at the end of “— MF Global Inc.”:
On October 31, 2011, MF Global reported to the SEC and CFTC possible deficiencies in customer segregated accounts held at the firm. As a result, the SEC and CFTC determined that a liquidation led by SIPC would be the safest and most prudent course of action to protect customer accounts and assets, and SIPC initiated the liquidation of MF Global under the Securities Investor Protection Act.
As of October 31, 2011 approximately $1.53 million of Series A assets were still on deposit in an account(s) at MF Global. These assets represent approximately 4.3% of Series A’s net asset value of approximately $35.42 million as of October 31, 2011. The Series A reserve taken reduced the net asset value by $335,097 as of October 31, 2011 (or approximately $13.54 per Series A Unit).
As of October 31, 2011 approximately $2.41 million of Series B assets were still on deposit in an account(s) at MF Global. These assets represent approximately 5.9% of Series B’s net asset value of approximately $40.90 million as of October 31, 2011. The Series B reserve taken reduced the net asset value by $526,523 as of October 31, 2011 (or approximately $20.53 per Series B Unit).
The General Partner does not believe that the MF Global liquidation will have a material impact on the ongoing trading operations of the Fund. However, because MF Global is still in the liquidation process as of today, further developments in the MF Global liquidation proceedings may have an impact on the ability of the Fund to:
|
|
|
| • | satisfy redemption requests in the normal 20-day time period; |
| • | adequately value redemption requests in the ordinary timeframe; |
|
|
|
| • | accept new subscriptions and properly value the net asset value for new subscribers; and |
| • | provide for accurate valuation in the Fund’s account statements provided to Limited Partners. |
Prospective investors are also cautioned that there can be no assurances:
|
|
|
| • | that the Fund will have immediate access to any or all of its assets in accounts held at MF Global; and |
| • | as to the amount or value of those assets in the context of the bankruptcy. |
Prospective investors should also be aware that future actions involving MF Global may impact the Fund’s ability to value the portion of its assets held at MF Global and/or delay the payment of a Limited Partner’s pro rata share of such assets upon redemption.
Effective October 31, 2011, MF Global is no longer a futures commission merchant for the Fund. ADM Investor Services, Inc., Barclays Capital Inc. and Rosenthal Collins Group, L.L.C continue to act as clearing brokers for the Fund.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus Supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
THE COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION HAS NOT PASSED UPON THE MERITS OF PARTICIPATING IN THIS POOL NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT SUPPLEMENT.
