1.	General:

Orion Futures Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”), is a limited partnership organized on March 22, 1999 under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage, directly or indirectly, in the speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests, including futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts. The sectors traded include currencies, energy, grains, livestock, indices, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, softs and metals. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership and the Funds (as defined in Note 5 “Investment in Funds”) are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The Partnership commenced trading on June 10, 1999. The Partnership privately and continuously offers 600,000 redeemable units of limited partnership interest (“Redeemable Units”) to qualified investors. There is no maximum number of Redeemable Units that may be sold by the Partnership.

Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB Holdings”). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns a majority equity interest in MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Partnership, owns a minority equity interest in MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.

As of September 30, 2011, all trading decisions are made for the Partnership by Transtrend B.V. (“Transtrend”), Winton Capital Management Limited (“Winton”) and AAA Capital Management Advisors, Ltd. (“AAA”) (each an “Advisor” and, collectively, the “Advisors”), each of which is a registered commodity trading advisor.

On June 1, 2011, the units offered pursuant to the offering memorandum were deemed “Class A” units. The rights, powers, duties and obligations associated with investment in Class A units were not changed. Beginning August 1, 2011, Class Z units were offered to certain employees of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and its affiliates (and their family members). Class A and Class Z will each be referred to as a “Class” and collectively referred to as the “Classes”. The Class of Redeemable Units that a Limited Partner receives upon a subscription will generally depend upon the amount invested in the Partnership, although the General Partner may determine to offer Redeemable Units to investors at its discretion.

The General Partner and each limited partner of the Partnership share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of Partnership interest owned by each, except that no Limited Partner shall be liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of its capital contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions.

The accompanying financial statements and accompanying notes are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Partnership’s financial condition at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and changes in partners’ capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. You should read these financial statements together with the financial statements and notes included in the Partnership’s Annual Report onForm 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Due to the nature of commodity trading, the results of operations for the interim periods presented should not be considered indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

4.	Fair Value Measurements:

Partnership’s and the Funds’ Investments. All commodity interests held by the Partnership and the Funds (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.

Partnership’s and the Funds’ Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, the Partnership’s and the Funds’ Level 1 assets and liabilities are actively traded.

GAAP also requires the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the markets become inactive. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Partnership’s and the Funds’ Level 2 assets and liabilities.

The Partnership and the Funds will separately present purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e., to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and make disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as required by GAAP.

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

6. Financial Instrument Risks:

In the normal course of business, the Partnership and the Funds are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, or to purchase or sell other financial instruments on specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange-traded instruments are standardized and include futures, forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include swaps and certain forward and options contracts. Specific market movements of commodities or futures contracts underlying an option cannot be accurately predicted. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments, including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.

The risk to the limited partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of the Partnership’s assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a result of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under New York law.

Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Partnership/Funds due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The Partnership/Funds are exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.

Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Partnership’s/Funds’ risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and is not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Partnership’s/Funds’ risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Partnership/Funds to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership/Funds have credit risk and concentration risk because the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnership’s/Funds’ assets is MS & Co., MSIP, CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that, through MS & Co. and CGM, the Partnership’s/Funds’ counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.

As both a buyer and seller of options, the Partnership/Funds pay or receive a premium at the outset and then bear the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option. Written options expose the Partnership/Funds to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased options, the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The Partnership/Funds do not consider these contracts to be guarantees.

The General Partner/managing member monitors and attempts to control the Partnership’s/Funds’ risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems and accordingly, believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership/Funds may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner/managing member to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk-adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, online monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, exchange-cleared swaps forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.

The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due to the nature of the Partnership’s/Funds’ businesses, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

7. Critical Accounting Policies:

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

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

Futures Contracts. The Partnership and the Funds trade futures contracts and exchange-cleared swaps. Exchange-cleared swaps are swaps that are traded as futures. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract is closed before the delivery date, or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and Funds. When the contract is closed, the Partnership and the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Transactions in futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded. Net realized gains (losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Forward foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Partnership and the Funds agree to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Partnership’s and the Funds’ net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains (losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively, and are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

The Partnership and the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts. Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange (“LME”) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin or zinc. LME contracts traded by the Partnership and the Funds are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Partnership and the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and the Funds. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with a like number of short positions settling on the same prompt date. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Partnership and the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME. Net realized gains (losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.

Options. The Partnership and Funds may purchase and write (sell) both exchange-listed and OTC options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Partnership and the Funds write an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. When the Partnership and the Funds purchase an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Net realized gains (losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses.

Brokerage Commissions. Commission charges to open and close futures and exchange-traded swap contracts are expensed at the time the positions are opened. Commission charges on option contracts are expensed at the time the position is established and when the option contract is closed.

Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnership’s income and expenses.

GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements and requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Partnership level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnership’s financial statements.

The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the 2008 through 2010 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Subsequent Events. The General Partners evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are filed. The General Partner has assessed the subsequent events through the date of filing and determined that there no subsequent events requiring adjustment of or disclosure in the financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU ”) 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards” (“ IFRS”). The amendments within this ASU change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. However, some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public entities. This new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

In October 2011, FASB issued a proposed ASU intended to improve and converge financial reporting by setting forth consistent criteria for determining whether an entity is an investment company. Under longstanding U.S. GAAP, investment companies carry all of their investments at fair value, even if they hold a controlling interest in another company. The primary changes being proposed by the FASB relate to which entities would be considered investment companies as well as certain disclosure and presentation requirements. In addition to the changes to the criteria for determining whether an entity is an investment company, the FASB also proposes that an investment company consolidate another investment company if it holds a controlling financial interest in the entity. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact that this proposed update would have on the financial statements.

Net income (loss) per Unit. Net income (loss) per unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See Note 2, “Financial Highlights”.


Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. The Partnership’s assets are its (i) investment in Funds, and (ii) equity in its trading account, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and net unrealized depreciation on open forward contracts. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership. While substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity, no such illiquidity occurred in the third quarter of 2011.

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

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Partnership capital increased 11.4% from $1,169,565,735 to $1,303,046,680. This increase was attributable to the subscriptions of 90,175.1521 Redeemable Units of Class A totaling $250,841,018, subscriptions of 700.3039 Redeemable Units of Class Z totaling $697,371 and 556.0836 Class A General Partner unit equivalents totaling $1,550,000, coupled with a net income from operations of $1,980,146, which was partially offset by the redemptions of 43,752.3153 Redeemable Units of Class A totaling $121,587,590. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Partnership’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 7 of the Financial Statements.

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

Results of Operations

During the Partnership’s third quarter of 2011, the net asset value per unit for Class A increased 1.5% from $2,719.83 to $2,761.58 as compared to an increase of 1.5% in the third quarter of 2010. During the Partnership’s third quarter of 2011, the net asset value per unit for Class Z decreased 1.2% from $1,000.00 to $988.19 from August 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the third quarter of 2011 of $36,830,883. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s/Funds’ trading of commodity futures in energy, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, metals and softs, and were partially offset by losses in currencies, grains, livestock and indices. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the third quarter of 2010 of $27,509,934. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s/Funds’ trading of commodity futures in currencies, grains, livestock, metals, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and softs and were partially offset by losses in energy and indices.

During July, long futures positions in U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S. Treasury notes, and the Eurobund profited as investors sought “flight to quality” assets after concerns over a slowing global economy and the inability of the U.S. debt ceiling issue to be resolved saw investors seek “safe haven” assets. Further gains were recorded in currencies as long Swiss franc and Japanese yen versus short U.S. dollar positions made a profit for the Partnership as investors perceived these currencies to be “safe haven” assets. Additional gains were recorded in the energy markets in July came from long futures positions in Brent crude oil and WTI crude oil as oil prices moved higher. The Partnership also profited from long futures positions in gold and silver as prices rallied amidst concerns over a slowing global economy. Lastly, long futures positions in sugar recorded gains in July as prices rose on renewed concerns that the crop in Brazil may decline. The Partnership’s gains in July were offset by losses in August and September. Long Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and euro positions versus short U.S. dollar incurred losses as concerns over slowing global demand for commodities weighed on the value of currencies. Further losses were incurred in August from long futures positions in global stock indices as prices declined after a Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the United States’ sovereign credit rating, as well as concerns about the European debt crisis. Long futures positions in corn and soybeans incurred losses as grains prices declined on a more favorable United States Department of Agriculture report citing better-than-expected yields. Lastly, short futures positions in coffee incurred losses as prices rallied in August.

During the Partnership’s nine months ended September 30, 2011, the net asset value per unit for Class A increased 0.3% from $2,754.39 to $2,761.58 as compared to a decrease of 1.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $42,826,217. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s/Funds’ trading of commodity futures in energy, U.S. and non U.S. interest rates, metals and softs, and were partially offset by losses in currencies, grains, livestock and indices. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $16,110,040. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s/Funds’ trading of commodity futures in currencies, grains, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates and softs and were partially offset by losses in livestock, energy, metals and indices.

During the first quarter, long futures positions in WTI crude oil and Brent crude oil performed well as prices generally appreciated given confidence in the continued growth of China, as well as that of the broader global economy. Additional upward price pressure resulted from political tensions in the Middle East and North Africa. Further gains were recorded from long futures positions in heating oil as a colder-than-expected winter in the United States helped to drive prices higher throughout February and March. Gains were also experienced in the metals complex during February from long futures positions in gold, silver, nickel, and zinc profited from prices trending higher. Further gains were recorded during March and April in the metals complex as long futures positions in gold and silver as prices strengthened continuing their upward trend from February. Further gains in April were recorded in the energy markets from long futures positions in WTI crude oil, as well as in RBOB gasoline, gasoil, and heating oil as oil prices rose during the month. Lastly, gains were recorded from long positions in the currency markets during April as the British pound, euro, Australian dollar, Swiss franc and Canadian dollar all strengthened against the U.S. dollar. Performance in July also benefited the Partnership as long futures positions in U.S. Treasury bonds and U.S. Treasury notes profited as investors sought out “flight to quality” assets given a weaker global economic outlook and continued concerns about the U.S. debt ceiling. Further gains in July were recorded in currencies as long positions in the Swiss franc and Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar benefited the Partnership as these currencies were viewed as “safe haven” assets by investors. Additional gains were recorded in the metals complex in July as long futures positions in gold and silver benefited from rising prices. A portion of the Partnership’s gains during the first nine months of the year was offset by trading losses in January as short futures positions in U.S. and European interest rates detracted from performance as prices increased over concerns about the unrest in the Middle East, which spurred demand for the relative “safety” of government debt. Further losses in February came in currencies as long Australian dollar, Swiss franc, Japanese yen, and Canadian dollar positions weakened against the U.S. dollar as renewed optimism about the U.S. economic recovery was aided by better-than-expected U.S. factory data. The Partnership incurred additional losses in May and June as a sharp reversal lower in energy prices negatively impacted long futures positions in WTI crude oil, RBOB gasoline, gasoil, heating oil and natural gas. Further losses in May came from long futures positions in the metals markets as gold and silver prices reversed sharply lower, as did palladium, platinum and copper prices. Losses were also recorded in the agricultural commodities in May and June as the prices of corn, soybeans and wheat futures all traded lower, thus negatively impacting long positions in these markets. The Partnership also incurred losses in global stock indices as prices continued to decline throughout May and June amidst fears the crisis in Greece and Portugal would spread to other European countries. Additional losses came from the currency markets in August and September as long Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and euro positions versus the U.S. dollar were negatively impacted as concerns over slowing global demand for commodities and the European debt crisis pushed the values of these currencies lower. Further losses were incurred in August from long futures positions in global stock indices as prices declined after a Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the United States’ sovereign credit rating. Long futures positions in corn and soybeans also incurred further losses in August and September as grains prices declined on better-than-expected yields in the United States.

Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation increases the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increases the possibility for profit. The profitability of the Partnership/Funds depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisors to correctly identify those price trends. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.

Interest income is earned on 100% of the Partnership’s average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s (or the Partnership’s allocable portion of the AAA Master or Winton Master) brokerage account at a 30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average non-competitive yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days. MS & Co. and MSIP credits Transtrend Master at each month-end with interest income on the assets on deposit with MS & Co. and MSIP. Interest income earned by the Partnership for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by $305,044 and $386,906, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower U.S. Treasury bill rates for the Partnership during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010. Interest earned by the Partnership will increase the net asset value of the Partnership. The amount of interest income earned by the Partnership depends on the average daily equity in the Partnership’s and the Funds’ accounts and upon interest rates over which neither the Partnership/Funds nor CGM/MS & Co. has control.

Brokerage commissions are based on the number of trades executed by the Advisors. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the number of trades executed during the period. Brokerage commissions and fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $1,458,902 and $2,319,156, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in brokerage commissions and fees is primarily due to an increase in the number of trades during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010.

Management fees, except fees payable to Transtrend, are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and redemptions. Management fees payable to Transtrend are charged at Transtrend Master level and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and redemptions of Transtrend Master. Management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $904,698 and $3,411,041, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in management fees is due to higher average adjusted net assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010.

Administrative fees are paid to the General Partner for administering the business and affairs of the Partnership. These fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and redemptions. Administrative fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $309,192 and $1,076,979, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in administrative fees is due to higher average adjusted net assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010.

Incentive fees paid by the Partnership are based on the new trading profits generated by each Advisor at the end of the quarter, as defined in each management agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and each Advisor. Trading performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted in incentive fees of $5,368,913 and $7,504,897, respectively. Trading performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 resulted in incentive fees of $2,506,281 and $4,395,222, respectively.

In allocating the assets of the Partnership among the trading Advisors, the General Partner considers each Advisors past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets among trading advisors and may allocate assets to additional advisors at any time.


Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Partnership/Funds are speculative commodity pools. The market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership/Funds are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnership’s/Funds’ assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership’s/Funds’ main line of business.

The risk to the Limited Partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of the Partnership’s assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a result of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under New York law.

Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s/Funds’ open contracts and, consequently, in their earnings and cash balances. The Partnership’s/Funds’ market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Partnership’s/Funds’ open contracts and the liquidity of the markets in which they trade.

The Partnership/Funds rapidly acquire and liquidate both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Partnership’s/Funds’ past performances are not necessarily indicative of their future results.

“Value at Risk” is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership/Funds could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s/Funds’ speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership/Funds of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership’s/Funds’ experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing, as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership’s/Funds’ losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s/Funds’ attempts to manage their market risk.

Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership/Funds as the measure of their Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95%-99% of anyone-day interval. Maintenance margin has been used rather than the more generally available initial margin, because initial margin includes a credit risk component, which is not relevant to Value at Risk.

Value at Risk tables represent a probabilistic assessment of the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments. The Advisors currently trade the Partnership’s assets indirectly in master fund managed accounts over which they have been granted limited authority to make trading decisions. Through May 31, 2011. Willowbridge directly traded managed accounts in the Partnership’s name. Willowbridge was terminated as an Advisor to the Partnership effective May 31, 2011. The first two trading Value at Risk tables reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership indirectly, through its investments in the Funds. The remaining trading Value at Risk tables reflect the market sensitive instruments held by each Fund separately. There has been no material change in the trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s open positions by market category as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, the Partnership’s total capitalization was $1,303,046,680.

The Partnership’sinternal control over financial reportingis a process under the supervision of the General Partner’s CEO and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These controls include policies and procedures that:


	•	pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;

	•	provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and (ii) the Partnership’s receipts are handled and expenditures are made only pursuant to authorizations of the General Partner; and

	•	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
