SUPERFUND GREEN, L.P., SUPERFUND GREEN, L.P. – SERIES A and SUPERFUND GREEN, L.P. – SERIES B
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012
Organization and Business
Superfund Green, L.P. (the “Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership, commenced operations on November 5, 2002. The Fund was organized to trade speculatively in the United States (“U.S.”) and international commodity futures and forward markets using a fully-automated computerized trading system. The Fund has issued two classes of units (“Units”), Series A and Series B (each, a “Series”). The two Series are traded and managed the same way except for the degree of leverage.
The term of the Fund shall continue until December 31, 2050, unless terminated earlier by the Fund’s general partner, Superfund Capital Management, Inc. (“Superfund Capital Management”) or by operation of law or a decline in the aggregate net assets of such Series to less than $500,000.
2. | Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies |
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) with respect to the Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments which in the opinion of management are normal and recurring, and which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim periods presented. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Valuation of Investments in Futures Contracts, Forward Contracts, and U.S. Treasury Bills
All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on a trade date basis and open contracts are recorded in the statements of assets and liabilities at fair value on the last business day of the period, which represents market value for those commodity interests for which market quotes are readily available.
Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at settlement prices published by the recognized exchange. Any spot and forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund will be valued at published settlement prices or at dealers’ quotes. The Fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing U.S. Treasury Bills due to the short-term nature of such instruments; accordingly, the cost of securities plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium approximates fair value (See Section 3 – Fair Value Measurements).
Translation of Foreign Currency
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the period-end exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the transaction date. Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the statements of operations.
The Fund does not isolate that 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 net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
21
Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Interest income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. The Fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing U.S. Treasury Bills due to the short-term nature of such instruments; accordingly, the cost of securities plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium approximates fair value. Operating expenses of the Fund are allocated to each Series in proportion to the net asset value of the Series at the beginning of each month. Expenses directly attributable to a particular Series are charged directly to that Series.
Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the statements of financial condition as a net gain or loss, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 210-20,Offsetting – Balance Sheet.
Income Taxes
The Fund does not record a provision for U.S. income taxes because the partners report their share of the Fund’s income or loss on their returns. The financial statements reflect the Fund’s transactions without adjustment, if any, required for income tax purposes.
Superfund Capital Management has evaluated the application of ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), to the Fund, to determine whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. Based on this evaluation, Superfund Capital Management has determined no reserves for uncertain tax positions are required to be recorded as a result of the application of ASC 740. Superfund Capital Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. As a result, no income tax liability or expense has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund files federal and various state tax returns. The 2008 through 2011 tax years generally remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.
\ Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Superfund Capital Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2011-11
In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11,Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities(“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. New disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Superfund Capital Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-11 on the financial statements and disclosures.
ASU 2011-04
In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04,Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Fund adopted ASU 2011-04 as of January 1, 2012. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2011-04 has not had a material impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

The Fund follows ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
| | |
Level 1: | | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
| |
Level 2: | | Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; |
| |
Level 3: | | Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Fund separates its financial instruments into two categories: U.S. government securities and derivative contracts.
U.S. Government Securities. The Fund’s only market exposure in instruments held other than for speculative trading is in its U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio. As the Fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing its U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio, which approximates fair value, this portfolio is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Contracts.Derivative contracts can be exchange-traded or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether they are deemed to be actively traded or not. The Fund has exposure to exchange-traded derivative contracts through the Fund’s trading of exchange-traded futures contracts. The Fund’s exchange-traded futures contract positions are valued daily at settlement prices published by the applicable exchanges. In such cases, provided they are deemed to be actively traded, exchange-traded derivatives are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Less actively traded exchange-traded derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards and swaps, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. The OTC derivatives held by the Fund may include forwards and swaps. Spot and forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund are valued at published daily settlement prices or at dealers’ quotes. The Fund’s forward and swap positions are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Certain OTC derivatives trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, and the determination of fair value for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. Such instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Where the Fund does not have corroborating market evidence to support significant model inputs and cannot verify the model to market transactions, transaction price is initially used as the best estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted so that the model value at inception equals the transaction price. The valuations of these less liquid OTC derivatives are typically based on Level 1 and/or Level 2 inputs that can be observed in the market, as well as unobservable Level 3 inputs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Fund updates the Level 1 and Level 2 inputs to reflect observable market changes, with resulting gains and losses reflected within Level 3. Level 3 inputs are changed only when corroborated by evidence such as similar market transactions, third-party pricing services and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other empirical market data. In circumstances in which the Fund cannot verify the model value to market transactions, it is possible that a different valuation model could produce a materially different estimate of fair value. The Fund attempts to avoid holding less liquid OTC derivatives. However, once held, the market for any particular derivative contract could become less liquid during the holding period. As of and during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Fund held no derivative contracts valued using Level 3 inputs.

4. | Disclosure of derivative instruments and hedging activities |
The Fund follows ASC 815,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
Derivative instruments held by the Fund do not qualify as derivative instruments held as hedging instruments, as defined in ASC 815. Instead, the Fund includes derivative instruments in its trading activity. Per the requirements of ASC 815, the Fund discloses the gains and losses on its trading activities for both derivative and nonderivative instruments in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund engages in the speculative trading of forward contracts in currency and futures contracts in a wide range of commodities, including equity markets, interest rates, food and fiber, energy, livestock, and metals. ASC 815 requires entities to recognize all derivatives instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. Investments in forward contracts and commodity futures contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “unrealized
25
appreciation or depreciation on open forward contracts” and “futures contracts purchased” and “futures contracts sold.” Since the derivatives held or sold by the Fund are for speculative trading purposes, the derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under the provisions of ASC 815. Accordingly, all realized gains and losses, as well as any change in net unrealized gains or losses on open positions from the preceding period, are recognized as part of the Fund’s trading profits and losses in the Statements of Operations.
Superfund Capital Management believes futures and forward trading activity expressed as a percentage of net assets is indicative of trading activity. Information concerning the fair value of the Fund’s derivatives held long or sold short, as well as information related to the annual average volume of the Fund’s derivative activity, is as follows:

Due from brokers consists of proceeds from securities sold. Amounts due from brokers may be restricted to the extent that they serve as deposits for securities sold short. Amounts due to brokers represent margin borrowings that are collateralized by certain securities. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no amounts due to brokers.
In the normal course of business, all of the Fund’s marketable securities transactions, money balances and marketable security positions are transacted with brokers. The Fund is subject to credit risk to the extent any broker with whom it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf. On October 31, 2011, MF Global reported to the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) possible deficiencies in customer segregated accounts held at the firm. As a result, the SEC and CFTC determined that a liquidation proceeding led by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“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. Superfund Capital Management closely monitored MF Global in the weeks prior to October 31, 2011 and began reducing the Fund’s exposure to MF Global. In October, total trading positions and assets of the Fund held at MF Global were reduced and steps were initiated to transfer all remaining positions and assets from MF Global to other clearing brokers prior to the bankruptcy filing. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the SIPC liquidation Trustee announced that the shortfall in the customer segregated funds account could be as much as 22% or more. After consideration of the Fund’s exposure, Superfund Capital Management caused the Fund to take a reserve to account for the Fund’s estimated exposure to such 22% shortfall. Series A recorded a reserve that reduced the net asset value by approximately $337,000 and Series B recorded a reserve that reduced the net asset value by approximately $529,000.
Since the Fund’s initial reserve was taken, an active market has developed for MF Global claims similar to the Fund’s. As a result, Superfund Capital Management received bids from third parties for the purchase of the Fund’s MF Global claims. Following this process, Superfund Capital Management determined it was in the best interests of the Fund to sell its MF Global claims, and the Fund closed on the sale in the amount of $904,087 for Series A and $1,736,710 for Series B on June 11, 2012. Although the sale did not close until June 11, 2012, Superfund Capital Management recognized the change in reserve prior to closing the Fund’s books effective May 31, 2012. Because the sale price did not match the amount of the Fund’s assets on deposit at MF Global as reduced by the reserve, each Series recognized a change in value as of May 31, 2012 as a result of the sale. Such change in reserve is presented as “Gain/Loss on MF Global” on the Statements of Operations. Due to the manner in which each Series’ assets were held at MF Global, the sale price for Series A’s claim was slightly more than the carrying amount of Series A’s assets on deposit at MF Global (as reduced by the amount the reserve taken, as described above), while the sales price for Series B’s claim was slightly less than the carrying amount of Series B’s assets on deposit at MF Global (as reduced by the amount of the reserve taken, as described above). As a result, on May 31, 2012, the net asset value of the Series A Units increased by approximately 0.13% (or approximately $1.82 per Unit) and the net asset value of the Series B Units was reduced by approximately 0.12% (or approximately $1.92 per Unit). Following this sale, the Fund no longer has any exposure to MF Global.

6. | Allocation of net profits and losses |
In accordance with the Fund’s Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, net profits and losses of the Fund are allocated to partners according to their respective interests in the Fund as of the beginning of each month.
Subscriptions received in advance, if any, represent cash received prior to the balance sheet date for subscriptions of the subsequent month and do not participate in the earnings of the Fund until the following month.
7. | Related party transactions |
Superfund Capital Management shall be paid a management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.85% of month-end net assets (1.85% per annum), ongoing offering expenses equal to one-twelfth of 1% of month-end net assets (1% per annum), not to exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred, and monthly operating expenses equal to one-twelfth of 0.15% of month-end net assets (0.15% per annum), not to exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred. Superfund Capital Management will also be paid a monthly performance/incentive fee equal to 25% of the new appreciation without respect to interest income. Trading losses will be carried forward and no further performance/incentive fee may be paid until the prior losses have been recovered. In addition, Superfund Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Superfund Capital Management, serves as the introducing broker for the Fund’s futures transactions and receives a portion of the brokerage commissions paid by the Fund in connection with its futures trading. Superfund USA, LLC, an entity related to Superfund Capital Management by common beneficial ownership, shall be paid monthly selling commissions equal to one-twelfth of 4% (4% per annum) of the month-end net asset value of the Fund. However, the maximum cumulative selling commission per Unit is limited to 10% of the initial public offering price of Units sold. Selling commissions charged as of the end of each month in excess of 10% of the initial public offering price of Units sold shall not be paid out to any selling agent but shall instead be held in a separate account. Accrued monthly performance fees, if any, will then be charged against both net assets of the Fund as of month-end, as well as against amounts held in the separate account. Any increase or decrease in net assets and any accrued interest will then be credited or charged to each Limited Partner on a pro rata basis. The remainder of the amounts held in the separate account, if any, shall then be reinvested in Units as of such month-end, at the current net asset value, for the benefit of the appropriate Limited Partner. The amount of any distribution to a Limited Partner, any amount paid to a Limited Partner on redemption of Units and any redemption fee paid to Superfund Capital Management upon the redemption of Units will be charged to that Limited Partner. Selling commissions are shown gross on the statement of operations and amounts over the 10% selling commission threshold are rebated to the Limited Partner by purchasing Units of the Fund.
As of June 30, 2012, Superfund Capital Management owned 386.799 Units of Series A, representing 1.95% of the total issued Units of Series A, and 537.357 Units of Series B, representing 2.75% of the total issued Units of Series B, having a combined value of $1,208,253.

9. | Financial instrument risk |
In the normal course of its business, the Fund is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specific 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 OTC. Exchange-traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain options. 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.
41
For the Fund, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange-traded futures were $1,390,000 and $958,072, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange-traded forwards were $68,818 and $465,415, respectively, at June 30, 2012.
For Series A, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange-traded futures were $544,621 and $350,326, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange-traded forwards were $21,098 and $152,352, respectively, at June 30, 2012.
For Series B, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange-traded futures were $845,379 and $607,746, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange-traded forwards were $47,720 and $313,063, respectively, at June 30, 2012.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Fund due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by conditions such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interest positions at the same time, and Superfund Capital Management was unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses.
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. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The Fund’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statements of assets and liabilities and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. As the Fund’s assets are held in segregated accounts with futures commission merchants, the Fund has credit risk and concentration risk. The Fund’s futures commission merchants are currently ADM Investor Services, Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. Prior to its insolvency, the Fund used MF Global, Inc. as one of its futures commission merchants. See Note 5 for additional discussion of MF Global.
Superfund Capital Management monitors and attempts to control the Fund’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 Fund is subject. These monitoring systems allow Superfund Capital Management 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 positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions, and collateral positions.
The majority of these futures and forwards mature within one year of June 30, 2012. However, due to the nature of the Fund’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.
10. | Subscriptions and redemptions |
Investors must submit subscriptions at least five business days prior to the applicable month-end closing date and they will be accepted once payments are received and cleared. All subscription funds are required to be promptly transmitted to the escrow agent, HSBC Bank USA. Subscriptions must be accepted or rejected by Superfund Capital Management within five business days of receipt, and the settlement date for the deposit of subscription funds in escrow must be within five business days of acceptance. No fees or costs will be assessed on any subscription while held in escrow, irrespective of whether the subscription is accepted or the subscription funds are returned.
A Limited Partner may request any or all of his investment in such Series be redeemed by such Series at the net asset value of a Unit within such Series as of the end of each month, subject to a minimum redemption of $1,000 and subject further to such Limited Partner having an investment in such Series, after giving effect to the requested redemption, at least equal to the minimum initial investment amount of $10,000. Limited Partners must transmit a written request of such redemption to Superfund Capital Management not less than five business days prior to the end of the month (or such shorter period as permitted by Superfund Capital Management) as of which the redemption is to be effective. Redemptions will generally be paid within twenty days after the effective date of the redemption. However, in special circumstances, including, but not limited to, inability to liquidate dealers’ positions as of a redemption date or default or delay in payments due to each Series from clearing brokers, banks or other persons or entities, each Series may in turn delay payment to persons requesting redemption of the proportionate part of the net assets of each Series represented by the sums that are subject of such default or delay. The Prospectus of the Fund dated May 8, 2012 included within the Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-162132) provides if the net asset value per Unit within a Series as of the end of any business day declines by 50% or more from either the prior year-end or the prior month-end Unit value of such Series, Superfund Capital Management will suspend trading activities, notify all Limited Partners within such Series of the relevant facts within seven business days and declare a special redemption period.
42
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund, and therefore cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
Superfund Capital Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were filed and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
INTRODUCTION
The Fund commenced the offering of its Units on October 22, 2002. The initial offering terminated on October 31, 2002 and the Fund commenced operations on November 5, 2002. The continuing offering period commenced at the termination of the initial offering period and is ongoing. Subscription and redemption data is presented for both the Fund, as the SEC registrant, and for Series A and Series B, individually. For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Fund has accepted subscriptions totaling $435,596 and redemptions over the same period totaled $4,927,220. For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, subscriptions totaling $287,950 in Series A and $147,646 in Series B have been accepted and redemptions over the same period totaled $2,394,906 in Series A and $2,532,314 in Series B.
LIQUIDITY
Most U.S. commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in futures contracts prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” During a single trading day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. This may affect the Fund’s ability to initiate new positions or close existing ones or may prevent it from having orders executed. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Similar occurrences could prevent the Fund from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the Fund to substantial losses, which could exceed the margin initially committed to such trades. In addition, even if futures prices have not moved the daily limit, the Fund may not be able to execute futures trades at favorable prices if little trading in such contracts is taking place.
Trading in forward contracts introduces a possible further impact on liquidity. Because such contracts are executed “off exchange” between private parties, the time required to offset or “unwind” these positions may be greater than that for regulated instruments. This potential delay could be exacerbated to the extent a counterparty is not a U.S. person.
Other than these limitations on liquidity, the Fund’s assets are expected to be highly liquid.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Fund will raise additional capital only through the sale of Units offered pursuant to the continuing offering and does not intend to raise any capital through borrowings. Due to the nature of the Fund’s business, it will make no capital expenditures and will have no capital assets which are not operating capital or assets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
Series A:
Net results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, were a gain of 4.2% in net asset value compared to the preceding quarter end.

Fund results for 2nd Quarter 2012:
In June, the Fund’s trading strategies yielded disappointing results as market sensitivity to European debt crisis news led to choppy market conditions. Investor focus remained on troubled European economies, with eyes turned to faltering Spain. Moody’s downgrade of Spanish sovereign debt was followed by rating reductions for numerous Spanish lenders. Depressed European indices reacted positively to European Union (“EU”) summit agreements to reduce funding costs for Spain and Italy. U.S. stocks rallied in anticipation of a third round of quantitative easing (“QE3”) but were disappointed as the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) offered only an extension of the Operation Twist program. Commodity demand remains weak as supplies build in base metals and energies. U.S. crude inventories are at their highest since 1990 as growth in consumption is met with greater gains in production. The Fund’s short-term trading strategies also underperformed. The Fund’s allocation to equities underperformed in June due to volatile and directionless trading as European economic conditions weighed on global markets. Uncertainty over Greek elections eased as pro-EU moderates prevailed while business confidence in Germany hit a two-year low. European equities rose at the end of the month, as EU summit leaders eased repayment terms for Spanish banks. In the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average (the “Dow”) rose 3.4% but gains were tempered by poor unemployment and weak consumer confidence. China reacted to slowing growth by cutting its key interest rate. The Australian SPI fell 0.4% despite surprise gains in gross domestic product (“GDP”) and employment, while the Japanese Nikkei climbed 5.6% on expectations for further stimulus. The Fund’s bond portfolio experienced losses in June as the recent rally stagnated due to a lack of substantial central bank stimulus. Investors hoping for new asset purchases from the Fed were disappointed as they chose only to expand their Operation Twist program by $267 billion. Europe’s bond rally also retreated as area-wide interest rates climbed in response to the increasingly insolvent Spanish banking sector. While bond rallies in the U.S. and Europe cooled, Japanese 10-year bond futures continued higher with yields reaching 0.79%, the lowest since 2003. The Fund’s allocation to currencies produced negative results in June as the U.S. dollar declined versus major currencies. The euro (+2.4% against the U.S. dollar) finished in positive territory while remaining under pressure due to the unresolved debt crisis. Spanish bank insolvency and unsustainable sovereign debt had sent the euro to 23-month low before regaining ground. The Swiss franc (+2.5%) gained against the dollar while holding steady against the euro. The British pound (+1.7%) rose versus the dollar after May’s sharp decline while also gaining favor versus the euro. The Fund’s grain allocations generated moderate losses in June as hot and dry conditions in the U.S. threatened to damage the largest projected corn crop since 1937. December corn surged 21.6% as the market digested rapidly deteriorating crop conditions. Soybeans (+12.4%) trailed corn higher, tempered by hopes that the later developing crop still has time to recover. The Fund’s positions in the metals sector generated moderately negative results in June as gains in short base metal positions were offset by losses in range-bound COMEX gold (-0.4%). Demand for base metals has suffered as Chinese growth has slowed and the broader world economy has failed to show significant signs of recovery. After spending nearly the entire month in negative territory, however, base metals took part in a global rally spurred by European leaders’ agreement on short-term measures to assist Spanish banks. The Fund’s allocation to the energy sector produced gains in June as weak demand and ample supplies pushed prices lower. Global economic weakness continues to be the key driver of prices near-term as slowing global growth has hurt overall energy demand. Crude oil touched an eight-month low of $77.28/bbl with supplies reaching 22-year highs. Gasoline (-3.5%) fell as U.S. supplies rose more than expected and demand remains soft. Heating oil (-0.4%) also suffered from a rise in inventories and warm temperatures.
In May, the Fund’s trading strategies produced strong results as uncertainty and eroding optimism dominated market sentiment, sending investors on a broad-based flight to safety. Falling business confidence in Germany, rising euro-zone unemployment, and a shrinking manufacturing sector led to dramatic risk reduction across all sectors. The euro decreased to a nearly two-year low as investors sought the safety of the U.S. dollar, pressuring commodities. The S&P GSCI index of 24 commodities plunged 13%, its worst month since the recession of 2008. Demand for capital preservation drove yields of safe-haven debt instruments to all-time lows. The Fund’s short-term models enhanced monthly gains with profitable positions in CME Australian dollar, Comex gold and CBT U.S. T-Bonds. The Fund’s equity positions excelled in May as markets fell sharply on weakening economic conditions. European economies continued to soften with negative quarterly GDP and falling indices in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) (-7.5%), Italy (-10.4%), Spain (-11.8%), and Greece (-30.6%). Even though Germany managed to show slight positive GDP growth of .5%, Dax futures fell 7.9%. The possibility of a Greek departure from the euro-zone increased as economic and political pressures mount. In the U.S., the Dow slipped 5.3% as factory orders fell 1.5% and leading indicators
44
slipped 0.1%, leaving only modest growth expectations for the near-term. The U.S. added 115,000 jobs in April, the fewest since October, 2011. Shares across Asia were decidedly weak with the Hang Seng (-11.5%), Nikkei (-10.2%), and MSCI Taiwan (-3.5%) sinking on weakening export demand. The Fund’s bond exposure returned substantial profits in May as the risk-off trade prevailed in response to the unresolved debt crisis in Europe. Elevated fears that Greece may leave the euro-zone and an increasingly troubled Spanish banking sector combined to lift borrowing costs for at-risk sovereigns. Fear-driven investment poured into safe-haven assets in Germany, the U.S., and Australia. German 10-year bund futures (+3.5%) rose to all-time highs. In the U.S., strong demand for safety pushed the benchmark 10-year note to a record low of 1.5309% with 30-year yields approaching their 2008 bottom. The Fund’s allocations to currencies yielded strong results in May as the U.S. dollar advanced sharply in a general flight to safety. Heightened European instability and slowing global growth hurt equity markets while driving the Dollar Index to a 5.4% gain and a 21-month high. The euro slid 6.6% against the U.S. dollar as regional unemployment hit 10.9%, a 15-year high. U.K. retail sales dropped the most over two years, pushing the British pound 5.0% lower versus the U.S. dollar. The Australian dollar fell 6.2% as the Reserve Bank of Australia (“RBA”) unexpectedly cut its key lending rate 50 basis points to 3.75%. Only the Japanese yen (+1.8%) managed to rise against the U.S. dollar in relatively quiet trade. The Fund’s positions in the metals sector generated significant gains in May. Precious and industrial metals fell as a risk-off mentality began to permeate futures markets once again on renewed fears of a global economic recession. Euro-zone service and manufacturing sector data showed contraction for the ninth consecutive month, adding to concerns about the health of the global economy. Manufacturing data in China continued to reveal slowing growth, pushing down industrial metal. London Metal Exchange (“LME”) and COMEX copper fell for four consecutive weeks while LME aluminum slumped 5.9%. All base metals, with the exception of zinc, established new lows for 2012 in May, as did COMEX gold (-6.1%) and silver (-10.3%). The Fund’s allocation to the energy sector produced robust gains, benefitting from the sharp decline in the petroleum complex as ample supply and slack demand pressured prices. After several months of consolidation in crude, technical breaks below support levels led to a significant decline in both NYMEX and Brent futures, dropping 17.5% and 14.7% respectively. In natural gas, the well-established down-trend was finally broken as multi-year lows spurred buying interest. Mild spring weather and warm near-term forecasts helped support prices on increased cooling needs.
In April, the Fund’s trading strategies produced mixed results as markets digested signs of moderating growth and concerns over European sovereign debt. Minutes from a meeting of the Fed revealed the U.S. central bank will refrain from additional stimulus unless the economy wavers, sparking concern over growth and demand for raw materials. Upticks in weekly jobless claims and weak sales of previously-owned homes added to bearish sentiment. Chinese GDP grew 8.1%, the slowest pace in nearly three years as the country seeks to rebalance its economy away from exports and towards domestic consumption. Tenuous optimism in Europe gave way to increasing instability as austerity measures and European Central Bank (“ECB”) efforts to spur growth have yet to solve the regions debt woes, punctuated by S&P’s downgrade of Spanish debt. Investment flowed into safe-haven debt instruments of the U.S., Germany, and Australia in response to the weakness. The Fund’s bond exposure produced robust returns in April as investment poured into safe-haven assets on renewed euro-zone weakness and concerns over slowing growth. Spain’s soaring unemployment (24.4%), contracting GDP (-0.3%), and alarming spike in non-performing loans led to poor debt auctions as their 10-year yield climbed back above 6%. Resurging peripheral debt woes sent investors flocking to the security of German Bunds (+1.9%). British Long Gilts also benefited from safe-haven inflows but performance was muted due to negative GDP growth in the U.K. Despite mixed economic signals and signs of stagnation, the U.S. maintained its favored position relative to struggling European economies, driving demand for U.S. debt. Australian debt yields fell to record lows as easing inflation data is widely expected to prompt a rate cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia (the “RBA”) at its next meeting. The Fund’s allocation to foreign exchange markets underperformed in April as markets ended little changed in volatile trade. Concerns over sovereign debt and slowing economic growth left European currencies seeking solid direction. The euro (-0.7%) fell modestly as economic indicators softened and Spain’s debt was downgraded. The Swiss franc (-0.5%) fell against the U.S. dollar after reversing early month gains. The British pound (+1.5%) gained against the U.S. dollar and the euro (+2.2%) on expectations the Bank of England will not pursue further stimulus. The Australian dollar (+1.0%) continued its position as a favored currency with the RBA keeping rates unchanged as their economy sustains growth. The Canadian dollar (1.1%) also appreciated as unemployment there fell to 7.2%. The Japanese yen (+3.8%) regained ground from its recent decline as the Bank of Japan remains focused on easing in an effort to strengthen growth prospects. The Mexican peso (-1.5%) fell back on worries global growth concerns will dampen exports. The Fund’s positions in the metals sector generated moderate losses in April due to sharp reversals in the LME and COMEX copper markets. Poor U.S. monthly payroll and industrial production figures, slowing Chinese growth and heightened euro-zone debt concerns drove copper 6.6% lower to 3-month lows before being turned markedly higher on falling inventories. LME copper stockpiles dropped to 241,550 tons, the lowest level since November of 2008 and down 30% since January as miners struggle to keep pace with consumption. COMEX copper posted five consecutive gains at month’s end, its longest rally since August, to close nearly unchanged. Short positions in COMEX silver (-4.7%) helped to offset losses while COMEX gold (-0.3%) had its smallest monthly change since March of 2010 as traders waited for clarity on global economic conditions. The Fund’s allocation to the energy sector yielded losses in April as encouraging U.S. manufacturing and consumer spending supported energy markets despite reduced geopolitical risk, slowing growth in China, and renewed recession fears in Europe. NYMEX crude posted its least volatile month in 17 years, trading in a 4.8% range, tightly bound by its 100 and 50-day moving averages. Weekly inventories (373 million barrels) reached an 11-month high as Chinese manufacturing contracted for the sixth straight month. Brent crude’s premium over West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) shrunk to as little as $13.61, the smallest margin since January, as Spain and the UK slid back into recession and negotiations with Iran showed promise.

For the second quarter of 2012, the most profitable market group overall was the bonds sector while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the grains sector.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Fund results for 1st Quarter 2012:
In March, the Fund’s trading strategies produced disappointing returns as rapidly shifting macroeconomic factors led to trendless and choppy market conditions. The U.S. economy sustained momentum, adding another 227,000 jobs for its best six-month streak since May of 2006. Retail sales climbed 1.1%, the most in five months, reflecting consumer confidence despite rising gas prices. In contrast, commodity-driven economies such as Australia felt the effects of reduced base-metal demand, while euro-zone GDP unexpectedly contracted as the region struggled to contain its debt crisis. Crude oil declined as the impact of Iranian tensions receded when compared to slowing global demand and ample supplies. The Fund’s short-term strategies produced mixed to slightly negative results. The Fund’s allocation to currency markets yielded poor results in March. The U.S. dollar (+0.5%) advanced early as improvements in the U.S. economy and positive investor sentiment drove up equities and sent interest rates modestly higher. Later in the month Chairman Bernanke of the Fed reiterated his commitment to low interest rates, pressuring the U.S. dollar and erasing previous gains. The ECB continued to hold the line on interest rates, keeping its discount rate at 1%. The euro and British pound finished unchanged versus the U.S. dollar after declines of 2%. The Australian dollar (-4.4%) fell on weak GDP, an unexpected rise in unemployment, as well as softening commodity exports. The Fund’s bond exposure experienced losses during a turbulent March as U.S. and European bonds sold off precipitously only to rebound later in the month. Japanese Government Bonds (“JGB”) came under pressure as the Bank of Japan (“BOJ”) resisted calls to increase asset purchases beyond the 30 trillion yen committed at their February meeting. JGB yields rose to 1.056%, the highest since December 2011. The Fund experienced negative results in the global equity markets in March. European stocks fell sharply on euro-zone GDP contraction (-0.3%) before optimistic U.S. data helped lift futures to 8-month highs. Markets quickly reversed on China’s shrinking economy and the possible need for further Greek debt restructuring. The FTSE (-2.1%), Amsterdam EOE Index (-1.2%), and Euro Stoxx (-4.5%) all finished lower. The Dow (+1.2%) and the Standard and Poor 500 (the “S&P 500”) (+2.5%) rose to four-year highs. Asian shares were mostly lower, pressured by the slowdown in China. China’s H-Shares (-10.9%) sank on weaker-than-expected housing and auto data with stocks in Singapore (-1.1%), Taiwan (-2.5%), and India (-2.3%) also lower. The Nikkei (+1.5%) managed to gain as the BOJ continued to ease in an effort to boost growth and weaken the yen. The Fund’s grains positions experienced moderate losses for the month. Directionless trading led to losses in corn and wheat while trending soybeans benefited long soybean meal positions. The Fund’s exposure to the metals sectors generated moderate losses as precious metals declined on increasingly positive sentiment surrounding the stability of the global economy. The Fund’s allocation to money market futures also produced negative results. Short-rate price movement closely mirrored the volatility seen in longer-term maturities as central banks continued to hold overnight lending rates between 0 and 25 basis points. Although targeted rates are expected to remain near zero for an extended period, the strength of the equity rally precipitated a decline in global short-rate prices, negatively impacting the Fund’s long positions.
46
In February, the Fund’s trading strategies generated solid returns as geopolitical and economic forces pushed energies and equities decidedly higher. Intensifying tensions with Iran over their nuclear program injected risk premium into oil markets, driving crude prices to multi-month highs. Meanwhile, a wave of hopeful economic data and the long-awaited second Greek bailout lifted stocks. U.S. unemployment fell for a fifth straight month, adding 234,000 jobs while U.S. consumer confidence posted its longest streak of gains since 1997. The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) hit 11-year highs and the Dow Jones closed above 13,000 for the first time since 2008. The BOJ revealed plans to inject 10 trillion yen into the Japanese economy in an effort to suppress deflation while the ECB sought to stabilize euro-zone banks and stimulate the economy by issuing €529.5 billion of low interest loans. CBOT corn slid sideways awaiting spring plantings, while soybeans soared on expected crop damage in Brazil. Short-term strategies enhanced overall performance with gains in currencies, stocks, metals, and energies. The Fund’s allocation to the energy sector produced significant returns in February as economic optimism, escalating Iranian tensions, and reduced refinery capacity led to robust returns for long energy positions. Extreme cold in Europe in the midst of heavy refinery maintenance drove IPE gas oil (+6.3%) to a nine-month high. New York heating oil (+6.0%), also used in home heating, was pulled higher on anticipated demand shift to the U.S. Brent crude gained 10.9%, its best month since May of 2009, while NY crude (+8.6%) reached a nine-month high. Despite poor U.S. gasoline demand, RBOB futures extended an impressive rally, gaining 5.4%, aided by permanent, unplanned, and seasonal refinery closures. Promising U.S. employment data and the Greek bailout approval lifted energies universally on hopes of economic growth. The Fund experienced positive results in global equity markets as stocks rose on continued economic improvement. While Europe worked its way towards the second bailout of Greece, equity markets across the continent were higher as fears of an imminent euro-zone collapse subsided. The ECB eased monetary policy significantly in an effort to support markets, stepping away from its traditional mandate of inflation stability. Markets responded with the CAC40 (+4.5%), FTSE (+3.7%) and DAX (+6.0%) all finishing the month higher. Only the Greek index finished lower with a 9.1% loss. Investor optimism drove up markets across Asia with the Nikkei (+10.2%) climbing sharply as the yen fell. Improvements in the outlook for exports also boosted shares in Hong Kong (+6.6%), Korea (+3.5%) and Taiwan (+7.6%). The U.S. markets rose as unemployment fell to 8.3%, jobless claims hit a four-year low, and modest growth was seen in manufacturing and housing. The S&P 500 (+4.3%) is off to its best start in 21 years. The Fund’s allocation to currencies generated moderate losses due to the sharp reversal in the Japanese yen. The U.S. dollar was weaker against most global currencies as the Fed reiterated its highly accommodative stance in spite of improving economic conditions. The BOJ, which has struggled with deflation for more than a decade, announced it would target a 1% annual inflation rate, adding 10 trillion yen to the economy in the process. Traders took the news seriously and sent the yen (-6.2%) to a seven-month low. The euro (+1.9%) strengthened against the U.S. dollar as fears over a Greek debt disaster abated and expectations rose for increased lending activity. The Swiss franc (+1.8%) and British pound (+1.1%) also gained while better-than-expected economic data in Australia drove the AUD/USD rate to a six-month high (1.0795 $/AUD). South American currencies continued to climb with the Mexican peso (+1.4%), Colombian peso (+2.4%), and the Brazilian real (+1.7%) all gaining. The Fund’s bond portfolio produced negative results in February. U.S. bond prices retreated slightly from January highs as positive economic data continued to foster the strongest equity rally in two decades. U.S. unemployment dropped to 8.3%, returning to a level not seen since February 2009. U.S. 10-year notes retreated on the news and ended the month down 0.8%. The ECB implemented phase two of their long term refinancing operation liquidity program on February 27, injecting 530 billion euros of short-term liquidity into the region. The 1% loan offering was taken up by 800 euro-zone banks. The monetary infusion is expected to make its way into longer-term maturities as seen by the resulting rally in Bunds and 10-year Swap Notes. The Fund’s strategies underperformed in the metals sector after bullish trends in precious metals radically corrected as Fed Chairman Bernanke quelled hopes for QE3. Immediately prior to the plunge, gold and silver each hit multi-month highs as investors placed hedges against rising consumer prices and a weakening U.S. dollar. Following Mr. Bernanke’s testimony, gold (-1.7%) and silver (-6.9%) decreased significantly. Fears of reduced euro-zone base metal demand abated as leaders came to agreement on a second aid package for Greece. LME aluminum (+4.0%), assisted by record canceled warrants (orders to withdraw stockpiles), reversed early losses in the broad-based rally. Rising confidence levels on both sides of the Atlantic and falling inventories worked in tandem to elevate COMEX (+2.1%) and LME copper (+2.2%).
In January, the Fund’s strategies produced mixed results as optimism toward a European debt resolution and positive economic growth indicators led investors to add risk. The U.S. dollar declined against major currencies as the “safety trade” unwound, accelerated by the Fed’s stated willingness to purchase additional bonds. Gold benefited from the dollar’s decline, posting a +10% gain, climbing solidly back above its 200-day moving average while base-metals surged on production cutbacks and anticipated Chinese demand. EU negotiations with Greece, initially promising, weighed on equity markets towards month-end as leaders debated terms of a second rescue package worth 500 billion euro. NYMEX gasoline trended higher throughout the month as supply concerns intensified due to multiple refinery closures while natural gas plummeted to a 10-year low on unseasonably warm winter temperatures and overabundant supply. The Fund’s short-term strategies contributed positively to performance with gains in bonds, stocks, and metals, while the Fund’s perpetual long gold position produced significant gains for the month. The Fund’s allocation to money market futures yielded robust returns as central banks universally maintained accommodative monetary policies. In the United States, minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee of the Fed revealed the Fed’s commitment to maintain interest rates at or near zero through 2014. The ECB, having cut rates twice in the last three months, maintained rates at a record low of 1%, citing signs of stabilization. In the U.K., the Bank of England also maintained a record low benchmark of 0.5%. The Fund’s allocation to currency markets yielded negative returns as the U.S. dollar reversed its recent uptrend as global economic
47
concerns began to subside. What had been a flight to safety in the U.S. dollar in late 2011 reversed as investors chose risk exposure and yield over conservation. The euro reached a 17-month low before recovering on perceived EU debt negotiation progress. The Australian dollar sustained its climb on relative economic outperformance, attractive interest rates, and strength in commodity prices. South American currencies, which lost significant ground in 2011, advanced considerably against the U.S. dollar. The Japanese yen rallied sharply late, closing at a three-month high, as investors flocked to the currency given the short-term U.S. interest rate outlook. The Fund’s grain positions experienced moderate losses for the month. Lingering concerns over South American corn and soybean yields drove grains to multi-week highs before surprisingly bearish U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) figures abruptly reversed trends. The highly anticipated January USDA report caused significant declines mid-month on unexpected increases in corn production and inventories, resulting in losses for the Fund’s corn positions. Wheat traded in tandem with corn, pressured by weak exports, ample supply, and favorable winter crop conditions. The Fund’s exposure to the energy sector generated positive returns, led by long gasoline and short natural gas positions. Gasoline ended up (+7.3%) for the month, while an unusually warm winter and continued supply glut pushed natural gas to $2.231/btu, a 10-year low. The Fund experienced losses in NYMEX crude oil amid a directionless trade as prices were range-bound between $98 and $103 per barrel.
For the first quarter of 2012, the most profitable market group overall was the energy sector while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the currency sector.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
Series A:
Net results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, were a loss of 2.4% in net asset value compared to the quarter ending March 31, 2011.

Series B:
Net results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, were a loss of 3.8% in net asset value compared to the quarter ending March 31, 2011.

Fund results for 2nd Quarter 2011:
In June, the Fund’s trading strategies yielded negative results as the correction in stocks and commodities that began in May continued, only to reverse late in the month. The Fund’s short-term strategies contributed positively to overall performance as gains in bonds, metals, and stocks offset losses in currencies and energies. The Fund underperformed in equities futures trading in June as stagnating growth and European sovereign debt worries sent indices sharply lower. European equities plummeted as EU officials, private creditors, and the Greek government struggled to find a workable solution to the crisis. Meanwhile, the Fund’s bond strategies outperformed across the board in June, responding in a classic inverse manner to the factors affecting equities. German bonds moved steadily higher early as uncertainty over the status of Greek debt intensified. Lower than expected German factory orders and industrial production supported values as well. Australian bonds rallied, due in part to the attractive yield differential versus the U.S., Europe, and Japan. The Fund’s allocation to global energy markets produced losses as the recent correction continued in June, reflecting increasing pessimism for economic prospects. Energy markets and commodity currencies sold off while treasuries gained on safe haven flows as softening manufacturing data prompted the ECB and the Fed to lower their longer term inflation estimates. However, with a late month agreement on a new aid package, equities and other risk assets reversed higher, while treasuries gave back earlier gains. Late month losses in previous metals and choppy action in base metals led to negative performance in that sector. The Fund’s trading models also produced losses in grains in June as improving weather and declining demand prospects associated with macroeconomic concerns led to sharp reversals. Gold and silver finished lower on the inflation outlook while grains sold off as excellent weather and an uncertain demand outlook led to higher inventory estimates.
In May, the Fund’s medium to long term trading strategies underperformed in May as investors temporarily abandoned risk assets in favor of safe haven alternatives. The Fund’s short-term strategies also contributed negatively to overall performance as losses in equities, metals, and currencies offset gains in bonds and energies. Equities reversed as declines in U.S.
48
employment, housing, and GDP combined with disappointing German factory orders to unnerve bullish investors. The Fund’s allocation to global stock indices underperformed despite a late recovery as the European debt crisis and a slowdown in manufacturing heightened fears of stagnant growth. The Fund’s bond strategies produced positive results across the board in May as safe haven assets pressed higher amid uncertainty concerning the sustainability of global economic growth. Treasuries rallied as bond yields in peripheral European states soared amid growing concern that a Greek default or restructuring was a real possibility. Allocations to currencies yielded poor results for the Fund in May as the U.S. dollar and euro reversed April’s action following the ECB’s unexpected removal of the “strong vigilance” on higher prices language from their May policy statement. The growing focus on the European sovereign debt situation prompted a flight out of risk assets and into the U.S dollar and the Swiss franc, which established a new record high against the euro. Energies and base metals saw sharp declines as a bearish Goldman Sachs commodity call, along with heightened volatility in forex markets tied to the problems in Europe spurred liquidation. The Fund’s performance in the metals sector reversed as gold futures opened the month retracing over 6% from all time highs established on May 2nd. The weakness stemmed from massive liquidation in silver and receding inflation fears as European sovereign debt instability delayed near term prospects for an ECB rate hike. April gains turned into May losses for the Fund in energies as recent upward trends in crude oil, heating oil, and gasoline gave way to significant declines. Grains endured more volatile action as extreme weather in the Northern Hemisphere continued to threaten production prospects. The Fund’s position in grains suffered due to continued volatility from broad based commodity selling, a reversal in the dollar, and a surprise 8% upward revision in 2010-11 the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) corn ending stocks.
In April, the Fund’s allocation to global stock indices performed well as the uptrend in equities continued. The Dow rose 4.4%, reaching mid-2008 highs on excellent quarterly earnings. Late-month results from Apple and IBM easily offset the downgrade of the U.S. credit outlook by S&P. European equities generally ignored sovereign debt worries, finishing broadly higher as surging Germany factory orders and industrial production set a positive tone. However, Greece’s ASE-20 moved back to its lows as debt restructuring rumors rattled investors. Asian indices tracked steadily higher, continuing to capitalize on China’s dynamic growth. Japan’s Nikkei (+1.3%) broke higher late as disaster recovery efforts progressed. The Fund yielded negative results in global bond markets in April as a mid-month reversal produced losses. German bunds continued their recent trend lower early in the month as strong economic data at home combined with sovereign debt fears on the periphery to drive yields higher. Ongoing inflation fears ahead of the ECB’s 25 basis point rate hike also exerted pressure. Values then recovered somewhat before vaulting higher in conjunction with the downgrade of the U.S. credit outlook by S&P as investors received a sobering reminder of the potential long-term risks to global growth prospects. The Fund experienced minor gains from its allocation to short-term interest rate futures in April in mixed action. Eurodollar futures trended higher as the Fed officially reiterated its commitment to completing the second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”) after some doubts were expressed last month. Euribor futures finished mixed as the European Central Bank maintained its vigilant stance on inflation by raising their discount rate 25 basis points as expected. Allocations to currency markets yielded strong results in April as recent trends extended amid accelerating U.S. dollar weakness. The euro surged to its highest level since December of 2009 as an S&P downgrade of the U.S. credit outlook prompted severe U.S dollar weakness as the month came to a close. The Australian dollar marched 6.2% higher amid excellent export growth, while the New Zealand dollar rose by approximately the same percentage on a rising appetite for yield and risk as global investors sought to offset asset deterioration linked to inflation. The Colombian peso added another 5.5% amid heavy foreign direct investment flows into the oil and mining industries. Sweden’s krona and Brazil’s real also gained significantly as rate hikes attracted yield hungry investors. The Fund’s grain positions suffered losses in April amid heightened volatility as values fluctuated along with uncertain weather. Soybeans finished lower on the prospect of U.S. corn acres shifting to soybeans due to an excessively wet spring. A potentially record breaking South American crop led China to cancel U.S. purchases, while a bearish commodity call by Goldman Sachs pressured values as well. Wheat sold off late, losing 7% of its value as forecasts for badly needed rains in winter wheat areas offset the bullish effects of excessive moisture in spring wheat regions. Corn traded to all-time highs above $7.80 as poor planting progress threatened to exacerbate historically tight supplies. The Fund’s allocation to agricultural markets also resulted in losses for April as growing supplies offset the weaker U.S. dollar. June cattle (-6.2%) fell throughout the month after establishing record highs on April 4th as the USDA reported that commercial red-meat production reached a record. June hogs also reversed to finish 8.4% lower as the after a reported 12% increase in frozen pork stocks versus last year. Cotton fell sharply on concern that China’s attempts to slow inflation using higher interest rates and reserve rate requirements would cut into demand. Meanwhile, July NY coffee established 14-year highs amid poor weather in South America. Allocations to metals outperformed in April as exceptional U.S. dollar weakness and rising inflation throughout the world propelled precious metals sharply higher. Gold saw an 8.1% gain, surpassing the $1550/ounce mark. July silver tacked on another 28%, pushing its year to date return to over 50% in frenzied action. Copper futures lost 3.4% as the U.S. credit downgrade and another reserve requirement hike in China dampened the growth outlook for the world’s two largest copper consumers.
For the 2nd quarter of 2011, the most profitable market group overall was the bonds sector, while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the energy sector.

Fund results for 1st Quarter 2011:
In March, the Fund’s allocation to global equity markets underperformed as a sharp countertrend reversal following the disaster in Japan produced losses for the Fund’s strategies. Equity markets opened the month moving sideways as the reemergence of sovereign debt and inflation worries in Europe offset steady expansion in global manufacturing. From there the Nikkei plunged 25.0% on panic-induced selling following the events of March 11th. Results for the Fund’s models experienced losses as most leading indices participated in the selloff as risk appetite abated. Equities quickly recovered as the focus shifted to the growth to be generated by rebuilding Japan. Nikkei futures finished only 7.7% lower on the month while shares in South Korea and Hong Kong finished 9.1% and 0.9% higher, respectively, on the belief that these markets are well positioned to fill the temporary void left by the decimated Japanese manufacturing sector. U.S. equity markets also experienced small gains as macroeconomic data continued on a positive trajectory. A mixture of long and short positions in equity markets led the Fund to an overall loss. The Fund’s positions in the bond sector experienced gains in March despite volatile market conditions as geopolitical instability in Libya and Japan and financial instability in Europe led investors to the relative safety of treasuries. Positions in Japanese government 10-year bonds experienced gains as the market opened the month near unchanged before rallying sharply in response to a nearly 20.0% washout in equities following the disaster. The Fund experienced losses in German bund futures as the market finished lower on news of improving employment, factory orders and retail sales. Meanwhile, the sovereign debt situation continued to evolve amid several debt downgrades of peripheral states, prompting investors to demand more yield to hold German debt even as EU leaders agreed to an expanded bailout package for troubled states. Results in U.S. bonds also experienced losses in turbulent trading activity as strong economic prospects offset geopolitical safe haven buying. A mixture of long and short bond positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the month. The Fund’s currency positions experienced gains in March as interest rate expectations and unsettling geopolitical developments dominated trading activity. June euro futures advanced 2.9% despite debt downgrades of Greece, Portugal and Spain as the ECB chairman continued to express the need for extreme vigilance with respect to the growing threat of inflation. The Swiss franc benefitted as investors sought shelter from the U.S.’s quantitative easing and Europe’s sovereign debt troubles. The yen rose over 4.0% following the catastrophic earthquake, amid expectations for a massive repatriation of capital to rebuild the stricken nation. However, in the first coordinated G7 intervention since the 2000 support for the euro, central bankers crushed the rally on March 18th, leading to a loss of 1.6% on the month. The Mexican peso outperformed as the oil producing nation saw slowing inflation complimented by expectations for continuing strong GDP growth. A mixture of long and short currency positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the month.
In February, the Fund’s allocation to equity markets performed well in February as major indices in the U.S. and Europe continued to press higher on improving economic conditions and strong corporate results. Late in the month, European and U.S. equities were shaken as the political unrest in Egypt spread to Libya and Bahrain, where protesters were met with force. The outbreak of violence triggered a spike in energy markets, which, when combined with uncertainty surrounding the severity of the crisis, prompted liquidation. Most major U.S. and European indices recovered late amid reassuring comments that the Saudis would cover any oil supply shortfalls. Asian shares struggled as inflation took a toll on growth prospects. Chinese H-shares lagged, finishing unchanged as inflation and consequent fiscal tightening dominated the action. Spillover pressure also affected shares in Singapore and Taiwan, which finished 5.9% and 5.6% lower, respectively. Japan’s Nikkei and Australia’s SPI finished 3.7% and 2.1% higher, respectively, in relatively quiet trading. A mixture of long and short positions in equity markets led the Fund to an overall gain in February. The Fund experienced losses in the bond sector in February as existing positions suffered amid a reversal in investors’ perception of the current risk environment. After breaking lower early in the month on strong corporate earnings and forward guidance, U.S. 30-year bond futures surged to January highs as growing
50
unrest across the Middle East unnerved investors, prompting a general flight to safety. Germany’s bund futures opened the month under pressure as anecdotal evidence of exceptional demand from China offset disappointing December factory orders and retail sales data. However, the deteriorating geopolitical situation and local election losses by the majority ruling party in Germany spurred a reversal that led to losses for the Fund. Trade in Australian bond futures was particularly volatile, to the Fund’s detriment, as weakness associated with a strong early month employment report faded as the RBA chief indicated that the central bank was not considering a rate hike at the current time. A mixture of long and short bond positions led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The Fund obtained gains in currencies in February as the U.S. dollar continued to trend lower, extending January’s losses by another 0.7%. The Swiss franc and Japanese yen finished 1.5% and 0.3% higher, respectively, amid safe haven buying as the situation deteriorated in the Middle East. The Fund experienced gains in the British pound, which finished the month 1.5% higher, after Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) readings showed that prices were increasing at a 4.0% annualized rate, the highest level since fall of 2008. Meanwhile, central bankers in Peru, Colombia, Indonesia and Russia raised rates as they continued to battle inflation while also attempting to fend off the negative effects that massive currency inflows are having on domestic currency appreciation. Colombia extended its dollar purchase program for another three months, hoping to cap currency gains to protect its export prospects. The Australian dollar finished 2.5% higher against the U.S. dollar as strong commodity markets supported full employment. A mixture of long and short positions in the currency sector led the Fund to an overall gain on the month. The Fund’s allocation to global energy markets yielded gains as growing instability in the Middle East and Northern Africa sent prices significantly higher. Short positions in WTI crude oil performed well early in the month, falling over 5.0% following the Egyptian president’s resignation and total U.S. fuel supplies moving to twenty year highs at the Cushing, Oklahoma delivery point. From there, the Fund experienced gains on long positions in April gasoline, heating oil, and brent crude, which finished 9.8%, 7.6% and 10.9% higher, respectively, at the expense of the Fund’s WTI crude position as civil unrest spread to Bahrain, Libya, and Oman. The markets gathered momentum as speculation surrounding the stability of the Saudi regime intensified. Short positions in April natural gas also performed well, falling 8.9% on the month as forecasts for mild weather contributed to a convincing breech of the $4 British thermal unit level. A mixture of long and short positions in the energy sector led the Fund to an overall gain on the month.
In January, the Fund’s allocation to global equities finished mixed in January as disappointing performances in several peripheral markets offset steady trends in major indices. In Europe, several past laggards, including Greece, Italy and Spain finished the month 13.9%, 9.2% and 10.2% higher, respectively, as heavy ECB participation in secondary market debt auctions and plans for a comprehensive debt relief structure reassured investors. Small gains on positions in Germany’s DAX, France’s CAC40 and the Amsterdam EOE Index, which finished 2.5%, 5.1% and 1.3% higher, respectively, offset losses in the sector as several core European economies improved. U.S. equities pressed higher as improving employment figures and solid consumer demand elevated corporate earnings. The Fund experienced early losses in Australia’s SPI as epic flooding cut into 2011 GDP prospects. Chinese H-Shares reversed lower late in the month to the Fund’s detriment as authorities continued to struggle with inflation. Overall, a mixture of long and short stock indices positions led the Fund to an overall loss. The Fund’s allocation to global bond markets underperformed in January as investors exited safe haven assets in response to improving global economic conditions. The Fund experienced losses in its Japanese government bond positions as large auctions and generally poor economic performance resulted in a ratings agency debt downgrade, encouraging investors to put money to work outside the country. In Europe, investors sold bund and bobl futures as Euro-zone industrial production readings easily surpassed expectations. Additionally, positive dialogue from various heads of state regarding a comprehensive crisis solution was backed up by aggressive ECB purchases of Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish debt in secondary markets, ensuring successful auctions for the embattled countries. In the U.S., performance suffered in choppy countertrend action as bond and note futures moved sideways to slightly higher as QE2 program persisted in spite of rising inflation concerns in the rest of the world. A mixture of long and short bond positions led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The Fund experienced losses in the interest rates sector as European short rates reversed sharply from December’s strong close. While the ECB left rates unchanged in January, their policy minutes emphasized vigilance over price stability in the midst of rising commodity prices. Policy makers also noted that uncertainty remains elevated and some financial institutions still face the threat of balance sheet adjustments despite positive underlying momentum in the economy. They also stressed the need for Euro members to reduce debt-to-GDP ratios. Short rate futures in the U.S. finished near their highs as early weakness associated with a strong employment report was offset by staunchly accommodative U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policy. Their focus, in contrast to the ECB, continues to be focused on growth and full employment at the expense of inflation. Meanwhile, Australian short rate futures moved higher to the Fund’s benefit as epic flooding cut into 2011 GDP estimates, thereby reducing prospects for previously expected rate hikes. A mixture of long and short interest rate positions led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The Fund’s allocation to currency markets underperformed in January as the euro and British pound finished 2.4% and 2.8% higher against the U.S. dollar, respectively, and euro-zone regionals reversed late 2010 losses. Early month news that Japan would buy distressed sovereign debt and strong ECB secondary market participation in Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian bond auctions provided support to these recently battered economies. As confidence in the euro improved, investors moved out of the Swiss franc, which finished 0.9% lower against the U.S. dollar, and back into risk plays in Hungary and Poland, which finished 5.4% and 4.1% higher, respectively, resulting in losses for the Fund. The Australian dollar finished 2.1% lower against the U.S. dollar as flood damage triggered a one-time levy, which tempered 2011 growth estimates and rate hike expectations. The Fund experienced losses in the yen following a credit rating downgrade as Japan’s huge debt load and limited policy options unnerved investors.
51
Gains in the Mexican peso, which finished 1.8% higher against the U.S. dollar, offset some losses in the sector as the peso rallied on prospects for a sustained U.S. economic recovery. The Fund’s mixture of long and short currency positions led to an overall loss on the month. The Fund experienced losses in the metals sector in January as gold and silver futures traded sharply lower amid growing optimism that the global economic recovery is gaining momentum. April gold finished with a loss of 6.2% as strong early month U.S. employment figures and ebbing contagion fears in Europe limited investors’ appetite for the alternative asset. March silver finished the month 8.8% lower in correlated action. The Fund’s allocation to industrial metals also suffered. The Fund’s positions in March COMEX copper were stopped out after a 6.0% intra-month decline due to China raising its reserve requirement in response to elevated GDP and CPI reports. Fears that China would take more aggressive measures to limit growth led to losses in London aluminum, lead, and zinc as several Chinese banks were forced to cease lending for the remainder of the month. A mixture of long and short metals positions led the Fund to an overall loss on the month. The Fund’s allocation to global energy markets produced positive returns in January as economic, logistical, and geopolitical factors underpinned values. Strong U.S. employment figures and a pipeline shutdown in Alaska supported the Fund’s New York crude oil positions early in the month. However, elevated Chinese GDP and CPI readings precipitated another reserve requirement hike while increasing expectations for additional measures to slow their economy. This scenario, along with a bearish U.S. inventory report, contributed to losses for the Fund amid an 8.0% drop from intra-month highs. Long positions in brent crude finished 6.6% higher, surpassing $100 per barrel following a reversal in European demand expectations, an accident in the North Sea which idled 200k barrels of production, and heightening unrest in Egypt. Front-month heating oil surged as well, adding 7.4% as exceptionally cold weather gripped the northern hemisphere, providing excellent returns for the Fund. A mixture of long and short energy positions led the Fund to an overall gain on the month.
For the 1st quarter of 2011, the most profitable market group overall was the energy sector, while the greatest losses were attributable to positions in the bonds sector.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. The Fund trades in futures and forward contracts and is therefore a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interests positions of the Fund at the same time, and if Superfund Capital Management was unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses. Superfund Capital Management attempts to minimize market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio in all but extreme instances not greater than 50%.
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures and forward contracts, there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Fund. The counterparty for futures contracts traded in the U.S. and on most foreign exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions.
On October 31, 2011, MF Global reported to the SEC and the CFTC possible deficiencies in customer segregated accounts held at the firm. As a result, the SEC and CFTC determined that a liquidation proceeding led by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“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. Superfund Capital Management closely monitored MF Global in the weeks prior to October 31, 2011 and began reducing the Fund’s exposure to MF Global. In October, total trading positions and assets of the Fund held at MF Global were reduced and steps were initiated to transfer all remaining positions and assets from MF Global to other clearing brokers prior to the bankruptcy filing. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the SIPC liquidation Trustee announced that the shortfall in the customer segregated funds account could be as much as 22% or more. After consideration of the Fund’s exposure, Superfund Capital Management caused the Fund to take a reserve to account for the Fund’s estimated exposure to such 22% shortfall. Series A recorded a reserve that reduced the net asset value by approximately $337,000 and Series B recorded a reserve that reduced the net asset value by approximately $529,000.
Since the Fund’s initial reserve was taken, an active market has developed for MF Global claims similar to the Fund’s. As a result, Superfund Capital Management received bids from third parties for the purchase of the Fund’s MF Global claims. Following this process, Superfund Capital Management determined it was in the best interests of the Fund to sell its MF Global claims, and the Fund closed on the sale in the amount of $940,087 for Series A and $1,736,710 for Series B on June 11, 2012. Although the sale did not close until June 11, 2012, Superfund Capital Management recognized the change in reserve prior to closing the Fund’s books effective May 31, 2012. Because the sale price did not match the amount of the Fund’s assets on deposit at MF Global as reduced by the reserve, each Series recognized a change in value as of May 31, 2012 as a result of the sale. Such change in reserve is presented as “Gain/Loss on MF Global” on the Statements of Operations. Due to the
52
manner in which each Series’ assets were held at MF Global, the sale price for Series A’s claim was slightly more than the carrying amount of Series A’s assets on deposit at MF Global (as reduced by the amount the reserve taken, as described above), while the sales price for Series B’s claim was slightly less than the carrying amount of Series B’s assets on deposit at MF Global (as reduced by the amount of the reserve taken, as described above). As a result, on May 31, 2012, the net asset value of the Series A Units increased by approximately 0.13% (or approximately $1.82 per Unit) and the net asset value of the Series B Units was reduced by approximately 0.12% (or approximately $1.92 per Unit). Following this sale, the Fund no longer has any exposure to MF Global.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Fund does not engage in off-balance sheet arrangements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Fund does not enter into contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments of a type that would be typical for an operating company. The Fund’s sole business is trading futures, currency, forward and certain swap contracts, both long (contracts to buy) and short (contracts to sell). All such contracts are settled by offset, not delivery. Substantially all such contracts are for settlement within four months of the trade date and substantially all such contracts are held by the Fund for less than four months before being offset or rolled over into new contracts with similar maturities. The Financial Statements of Series A and Series B each present a Condensed Schedule of Investments setting forth net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of such Series’ open forward contracts as well as the fair value of the futures contracts purchased and sold by each Series at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES – VALUATION OF THE FUND’S POSITIONS
Superfund Capital Management believes that the accounting policies that will be most critical to the Fund’s financial condition and results of operations relate to the valuation of the Fund’s positions. The Fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing U.S. Treasury Bills. Superfund Capital Management believes the cost of securities plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, approximates fair value. The majority of the Fund’s positions will be exchange-traded futures contracts, which will be valued daily at settlement prices published by the exchanges. Any spot and forward foreign currency or swap contracts held by the Fund will also be valued at published daily settlement prices or at dealers’ quotes. Thus, Superfund Capital Management expects that under normal circumstances substantially all of the Fund’s assets will be valued on a daily basis using objective measures.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASU 2011-11
In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11,Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities(“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. New disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Superfund Capital Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-11 on the financial statements and disclosures.
ASU 2011-04
In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04,Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Fund adopted ASU 2011-04 as of January 1, 2012. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2011-04 has not had a material impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
