RISK FACTORS
The risk factor included under the heading “RISK FACTORS—OTC Transactions Are Subject to Little, if Any, Regulation and May Be Subject to the Risk of Counterparty Default” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
OTC Transactions Are Subject to Little, if Any, Regulation and May Be Subject to the Risk of Counterparty Default.
A portion of each series’ assets may be used to trade OTC commodity interest contracts, such as forward contracts, option contracts in foreign currencies and other commodities, or swaps or spot contracts. OTC contracts are typically traded on a principal-to-principal basis through dealer markets that are dominated by major money center and investment banks and other institutions and are essentially unregulated by the CFTC. You therefore do not receive the protection of CFTC regulation or the statutory scheme of the Commodity Exchange Act in connection with this trading activity. The markets for OTC contracts rely upon the integrity of market participants in lieu of the additional regulation imposed by the CFTC on participants in the futures markets. The lack of regulation in these markets could expose a series in certain circumstances to significant losses in the event of trading abuses or financial failure by participants.
Each series also faces the risk of non-performance by the counterparties to the OTC contracts. Unlike in futures contracts, the counterparty to these contracts is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a clearing organization backed by a group of financial institutions. As a result, there will be greater counterparty credit risk in these transactions. The clearing member, clearing organization or other counterparty may not be able to meet its obligations, in which case the applicable series could suffer significant losses on these contracts.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) will affect the manner in which OTC swap transactions are traded and the credit risk associated with such trading. Depending upon actions taken by regulatory authorities, these changes may also affect the manner of trading of OTC foreign currency transactions. The general effective date of the derivatives portion of the Dodd-Frank Act is one year following its enactment. Transactions that have been entered into prior to implementation of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will remain in effect. Accordingly, even after the new regulatory framework is fully implemented, the risks of OTC contracts will continue to be considerations with respect to transactions entered into prior to the implementation of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.
An additional risk factor is hereby added under the heading “RISK FACTORS—The Frontier Fund Will Have Counterparty Risk to U.S. Bank” on page 31 of the Prospectus:
The Frontier Fund Will Have Counterparty Risk to U.S. Bank
Each of the trading companies currently holds all cash deposits not used for margin with U.S. Bank, although the managing owner may chose to hold the trading companies’ cash at other banks in its sole discretion. Because all cash deposits not used for margin are currently held at U.S. Bank, the Frontier Fund is subject to the risk that U.S. Bank may fail or that such cash deposits will not be available to the trading companies or the Frontier Fund. This could have a significant impact on you and your investment.

(1) | “Aggregate subscriptions,” “Current capitalization,” “Worst monthly % drawdown since inception,” “Worst month-end peak-to-valley drawdown since inception” and “Monthly Performance” are provided for each offered class of investors and include subscriptions and capitalization through October 31, 2010. |
(2) | “Worst monthly % drawdown since inception” means losses experienced in the net asset value per unit over the specified period and is calculated by dividing the net change in the net asset value per unit by the beginning net asset value per unit for the relevant period. “Decline” is measured on the basis of monthly returns only, and does not reflect intra-month figures. |
(3) | “Worst month-end peak-to-valley drawdown since inception” is the largest percentage decline in the net asset value per unit over the specified period. This need not be a continuous decline, but can be a series of positive and negative returns where the negative returns are larger than the positive ones. |

Footnotes to the Frontier Fund Capsule Summary of Performance Information Regarding Previously Offered Commodity Pools
(1) | The Balanced Series Class 1A performance table sets forth the actual performance of the Balanced Series Class 1A since May 2006 and the pro forma performance of Balanced Series Class 1, adjusted to take into account the fees associated with an investment in Balanced Series Class 1A Units, from September 2004 to April 2006. |
(2) | The Balanced Series Class 2A performance table sets forth the actual performance of the Balanced Series Class 2A since May 2006 and the pro forma performance of Balanced Series Class 2, adjusted to take into account the fees associated with an investment in Balanced Series Class 2A Units, from September 2004 to April 2006. |
(3) | Units that have reached the compensation limitations as determined by the managing owner will be designated as class 3 (and in the case of the Frontier Long/Short Commodity Series, class 3a) units for reporting purposes and will not be subject to additional ongoing service fees. |
(4) | “Inception of trading” is the month and year that the pool began trading. |
(5) | “Close Date” is the month and year that the pool liquidated its assets and stopped doing business. |
(6) | “Aggregate Subscriptions” is the aggregate of all amounts contributed to the class, including investments that were later redeemed by investors. |
(7) | “Current Capitalization” is the net asset value of the class as of October 31, 2010, or, in the case of liquidated pools, the net asset value of the class on the Close Date. |
(8) | “Worst Monthly % Decline-Last 5 Years” means losses experienced in the net asset value per unit over the specified period and is calculated by dividing the net change in the net asset value per unit by the beginning net asset value per unit for the relevant period. “Decline” is measured on the basis of monthly returns only, and does not reflect intra-month figures. |
(9) | “Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown-Last 5 Years” is the largest percentage decline in the net asset value per unit over the specified period, although the peak may have occurred outside of the past five years and year-to-date.

THE CLEARING BROKERS
The following is added to the description of Deutsche Bank:
Reference is made to the Annual Report on Form 20-F for additional information and financial statements relating to Deutsche Bank AG.
The description of UBS is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
UBS Securities LLC (“UBS Securities”) principal business address is 677 Washington Blvd, Stamford, CT 06901. UBS Securities is a futures clearing broker for each trading company. UBS Securities is registered in the US with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as a Broker-Dealer and with the CFTC as a Futures Commission Merchant. UBS Securities is a member of various US futures and securities exchanges.
Like most securities firms, UBS is and has been a defendant in numerous legal proceedings, including actions brought by regulatory organizations and government agencies, relating to its securities and commodities business that allege various violations of federal and state securities laws. UBS AG, the ultimate parent company to UBS Securities LLC, files annual reports and quarterly reports to the SEC in which it discloses material information about UBS matters, including information about any material litigation or regulatory investigations. Actions with respect to UBS Securities’ futures commission merchant business are publicly available on the website of the National Futures Association (http://www.nfa.futures.org/).
On June 27, 2007, the Securities Division of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (“Massachusetts Securities Division”) filed an administrative complaint (the “Complaint”) and notice of adjudicatory proceeding against UBS Securities LLC, captioned In The Matter of UBS Securities, LLC, Docket No. E-2007-0049, which alleged that UBS Securities violated the Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act (“the “Act”) and related regulations by providing the advisers for certain hedge funds with gifts and gratuities in the form of below market office rents, personal loans with below market interest rates, event tickets, and other perks, in order to induce those hedge fund advisers to increase or retain their level of prime brokerage fees paid to UBS Securities. The Complaint seeks a cease and desist order from conduct that violates the Act and regulations, to censure UBS Securities, to require UBS Securities to pay an administrative fine of an unspecified amount, and to find as fact the allegations of the Complaint. The matter is still pending.
In the summer of 2008, the Massachusetts Securities Division, Texas State Securities Board, and the New York Attorney General all brought actions against UBS and UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS Financial”), alleging violations of various state law anti-fraud provisions in connection with the marketing and sale of auction rate securities.
On August 8, 2008, UBS Securities and UBS Financial reached agreements in principle with the SEC, the NYAG, the Massachusetts Securities Division and other state regulatory agencies represented by the North American Securities Administrators Association (“NASAA”) to restore liquidity to all remaining client’s holdings of auction rate securities by June 30, 2012. On October 2, 2008, UBS Securities and UBS Financial entered into a final consent agreement with the Massachusetts Securities Division settling all allegations in the Massachusetts Securities Division’s administrative proceeding against UBS Securities and UBS Financial with regards to the auction rate securities matter. On December 11, 2008, UBS Securities and UBS Financial executed an Assurance of Discontinuance in the auction rate securities settlement with the NYAG. On the same day, UBS Securities and UBS Financial finalized settlements with the SEC. UBS paid penalties of $75M to NYAG and an additional $75M to be apportioned among the participating NASAA states. In March 2010, UBS and NASAA agreed on final settlement terms, pursuant to which, UBS agreed to provide client liquidity up to an additional $200 million.
On August 14, 2008 the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation filed an administrative action against UBS Securities relating to a student loan issuer, the New Hampshire Higher Education Loan Corp.
19
(NHHELCO). The complaint alleges fraudulent and unethical conduct in violation of New Hampshire state statues. On April 14, 2010, UBS entered into a Consent Order resolving all of the Bureau’s claims. UBS paid $750,000 to the Bureau for all costs associated with the Bureau’s investigation. UBS entered a separate civil settlement with NHHELCO and provided a total financial benefit of $20M to NHHELCO.
On April 29, 2010, the CFTC issued an order with respect to UBS Securities LLC and levied a fine of $200,000. The Order stated that on February 6, 2009, UBS Securities’ employee broker aided and abetted UBS Securities’ customer’s concealment of material facts from the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) in violation of Section 9(a)(4) of the CEA, 7 U.S.C. § 13(a)(4) (2006). Pursuant to NYMEX Rules, a block trade must be reported to NYMEX “within five minutes of the time of execution” consistent with the requirements of NYMEX Rule 6.21C(A)(6). Although the block trade in question was executed earlier in the day, UBS Securities’ employee broker aided and abetted its customer’s concealment of facts when, in response to the customer’s request to delay reporting the trade until after the close of trading, UBS Securities’ employee did not report the trade until after the close. Because the employee broker undertook his actions within the scope of his employment, pursuant to Section 2(a)(1)(B) of the CEA, 7 U.S.C. § 2(a)(1)(B) (2006), and Commission Regulation 1.2, 17 C.F.R. § 1.2 (2009), UBS Securities is liable for the employee broker’s aiding and abetting of its customer’s violation of Section 9(a)(4) of the CEA. The fine has been paid and the matter is now closed.
UBS Securities will act only as clearing broker for each trading company and as such will be paid commissions for executing and clearing trades on behalf of each trading company. UBS Securities has not passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. UBS Securities neither will act in any supervisory capacity with respect to the managing owner or the trading advisors nor participate in the management of the trust, the managing owner or the trading companies.

See Notes to Performance Information Below
(1) | The reporting of “total assets” managed by Graham or traded according to a particular program reflects the notional funding of accounts. Clients direct Graham to trade their accounts at a specific notional level of trading and it is not the practice of Graham to require clients to disclose how they fund their brokerage account. Accordingly, Graham generally cannot determine the amount of cash committed to client accounts. |
(2) | The Rate of Return percentage for each month is obtained by dividing the net income for the month by the net asset value as of the beginning of the month (including contributions made at the start of the month). In months where asset changes are made mid-month, rates of return are calculated for each segment of the month and compounded. For this purpose, “net income” represents the gross income for the month in question, net of all expenses and performance allocations. The Rate of Return percentage for each year is determined by calculating the percentage return on an investment made as of the beginning of each year. Specifically, a running index is calculated monthly, compounded by the rate of return, the annual percentage being the change in this index for the year divided by the year’s initial index. |
(3) | Graham advises exempt accounts for qualified eligible clients the performance of which is not included in the composite performance record. |

The successor firm to Tiverton has been registered as a CPO and CTA under the CE Act since August 2005 and Tiverton Trading has been registered as such since December 17, 2009.

Principals of Tiverton
Grenville Craig
Grenville Craig started trading futures for investment accounts in August 1977 when he joined Commodities Corporation (“CC”), a commodity trading advisor and commodity pool operator based in Princeton, New Jersey, in the United States that traded actively across various commodities. Mr. Craig served in various capacities including Senior Vice President and as a member of the management policy committee, and was a principal of such firm from July 1980 to May 1983.
Mr. Craig was a principal of his own registered sole proprietorship commodity trading advisor and pool operator from July 1982 to June 1984 and from August 1984 to July 1999. In August 1984 he founded Tiverton Trading Inc., which managed proprietary and client accounts and pools independently of CC. Mr. Craig was a principal of Tiverton Trading Inc from August 1984 to December 1993 and its associated person from May 1986 to December 1993. In September 1989, Mr. Craig resigned from CC to found Princeton Paris Research Corporation, a commodity trading advisor and pool operator. He was a principal and associated person of Princeton Paris Research Corporation from June 1990 to March 1991 and a branch office manager, principal and associated person from April 1992 to July 1998. He was also a principal and associated person of the following commodity trading advisors and pool operators: Hamilton Advisors Limited (August 1984 to March 1986); Princeton Commodities Services Inc (April 1992 to June 1993); and Tiverton Trading Ltd (August 1995 to December 1998).
From January 1994 to March 2006 Mr. Craig was the president of Leeward Services Corp., a company through which he conducted his own investment activities and through which he hired others to assist him. He became a principal and associated person of Tiverton Trading Inc. on August 29, 2005. He has also been a principal since December 5, 2009, and an associated person since December 17, 2009, of Tiverton Trading LTD, a Cayman Island commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor and a principal since April 19, 2010, and an associated person since May 4, 2010, of Tiverton Trading (Monaco) SAM, a Monaco commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor.
Mr. Craig’s research interests focus predominantly upon the “macro-economic” markets, the metals, financial futures, and currencies.
Mr. Craig graduated from Harvard College cum laudein 1963, from MIT’s Sloan School of Management in 1968, and received a PhD from Yale University in Economics in 1977.
Mr. Craig became a principal and associated person of Tiverton in December 2009. He participates in the trading decisions for Tiverton, as well as selects and supervises other persons at Tiverton so engaged. Tiverton will conduct its trading for its allocation from the Frontier Diversified Series and Frontier Masters Series units through a trading company pursuant to Tiverton’s Discretionary Trading Methodology Program.

TIVERTON INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The objective of Tiverton is to achieve capital growth while attempting to control risks with disciplined money management. Tiverton pursues this objective by primarily trading in commodity interests, which includes, without limiting the foregoing, futures contracts, forward contracts and options thereon.
Tiverton trades a client’s assets in accordance with its trading methodology, which generally has the following characteristics:
Fundamental. Tiverton may base its trading decisions on “fundamental” analysis. Such analysis attempts to examine the underlying factors which affect the supply and demand and hence the price of a commodity.
Technical. The methodology may also use “technical” analysis based on the theory that a study of the markets themselves provides a means of anticipating price movements. This approach examines, for example, trend lines, support and resistance points, retracement levels, moving averages, volatility levels, volume, open interest levels and other statistical indicators.
Risk Management. An important aspect of Tiverton’s trading methodology is the emphasis placed on capital preservation and the avoidance of large equity draw-downs. These themes are an integral part of Tiverton’s trading methodology.
TIVERTON’S DISCRETIONARY TRADING METHODOLOGY
The objective of Tiverton is to achieve capital growth while attempting to control risks with disciplined money management. Tiverton relies on a combination of fundamental and technical analysis in making trading decisions, with the objective of participating in major price moves in the markets traded.
Substantial positions are not normally taken in a direction believed to be counter to the primary trend of the market. The technical approach focuses on price charts and variables such as open interest, over bought/over sold indicators, moving averages, and support and resistance areas.
Tiverton also relies upon fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis, in respect to commodities, attempts to estimate equilibrium commodity prices by modeling or estimating supply and demand for individual commodities as well as stocks available to the market. With financial futures and currencies, other fundamental factors, such as inflation rates, interest rates, and current account balances are of primary interest.
Given the emphasis on both technical and fundamental analysis of markets, Tiverton generally only takes large positions when it believes the fundamental outlook is in accord with the major price trend detected by the technical analysis. When its fundamental views indicate a change in the major price trend and it believes this to be confirmed by strong signals of reversal in the price pattern and perhaps other technical indicators; however, Tiverton may take a position that is counter to the major trend then in effect. Given the importance placed on participating in major trends, Tiverton takes an important countertrend position only when clear stop-loss chart points exist to limit losses.
Tiverton will seek to move stop loss exit levels in the direction of the trend, in an attempt to protect a portion of the unrealized profit of the trade. Tiverton may add to existing positions during corrections to the main trend or at other times, such as following break-outs (or breakdowns) from congestion patterns.
It is Tiverton’s belief that the key to success in trading futures markets lies in money management. As part of its money management, Tiverton will determine when to take losses and when to realize profits, how large positions should be, when to increase regular position size after a period of sustained growth in trading equity, and most difficult, how to deal with losing or “flat” periods. An important aspect of Tiverton’s trading
39
methodology is the emphasis placed on capital preservation and the avoidance of large equity draw-downs. These themes are an integral part of Tiverton’s trading methodology. On occasion this may result in Tiverton’s client accounts not being invested in so called “hot” markets undergoing major price trend moves, because Tiverton feels the risk-reward characteristics of the market are no longer favorable.
Tiverton may trade in any commodity or financial futures interest that is now traded, or may be traded in the future, on exchanges and markets located within the United States and abroad. Tiverton invests in futures contracts, both for financial instruments and commodity markets, as well as forward contracts on foreign exchange markets and the London Metal Exchange. Options on futures and forward contracts are also traded. The traditional market groups in which Tiverton invests are: foreign exchange, short and long term Interest rates, equity indices and their sectors, base and precious metals, grains, the soy complex, softs and industrials. It is possible for a client account to have no investment positions at certain times. It will typically use simple options strategies when it believes such strategies offer better risk-reward characteristics than outright long/short futures and forward positions.

Notes on Performance Information:
The program was traded exclusively by Tiverton Trading, Inc. from inception through July 2010. In August 2010 the program was traded by both Tiverton Trading, Inc. and Tiverton Trading, a Cayman Island company that was established to be the successor to Tiverton Trading, Inc. The program is now traded exclusively by Tiverton Trading.
“Draw-Down” means losses experienced by the trading program over a specified period.
“Worst Monthly Percentage Draw-Down” is the largest monthly loss experienced by the program in any calendar month expressed as a percentage of the total equity in the account and includes the month and year of such draw-down.
Worst Peak-to Valley Draw-down is the greatest cumulative percentage decline in month-net asset value due to losses sustained by the trading pursuant to the program during which the initial month-end net asset value is not equaled or exceeded by a subsequent month-end net asset value.
The Monthly Rate of Return is computed by dividing Monthly Performance by Beginning Equity plus Additions. The monthly rates are then compounded to arrive at the annual rate of return.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS
Worst peak-to-valley draw-down means the greatest cumulative percentage decline in month-end net asset value due to losses sustained by the trading program during any period in which the initial month-end net asset value is not equaled or exceeded by a subsequent month-end net asset value.
The above Capsule Performance Table presents the performance results of all of the accounts of Transtrend’s Diversified Trend Program—Enhanced Risk/USD (except as noted below) on a composite basis based upon the aggregate nominal account size in the following subset: the Enhanced Risk Profile for accounts denominated in U.S. dollar.
In order to aggregate and compare the performance of individual accounts a pro forma reporting format is used, i.e., a standardized format irrespective of specific terms and conditions that may govern individual accounts in practice.
The composite rate of return reflects the pro forma net performance for the period divided by the beginning aggregate nominal account size. Draw-down is expressed as a percentage of the aggregate nominal account size.
During the period covered by the Capsule Performance Table, composite rates of return are calculated on a daily basis which compound to a monthly return. Thus, intra-month additions and/or withdrawals are taken into account when they occur without distorting the monthly composite rate of return.
Pro forma net performance presents the gross realized trading gain or loss on all transactions closed out during the period, plus the change in unrealized gain or loss on open positions at the end of the current month and the end of the previous month adjusted as follows: (a) less actual brokerage and give-up commissions, mark-ups and prime brokerage fees which currently amount to approximately 0.5% of the aggregate nominal account size per annum for the Diversified Trend Program’s Standard Risk Profile and to approximately 0.75% of the aggregate nominal account size per annum for the Diversified Trend Program’s Enhanced Risk Profile (on average approximately USD 6 per round-turn trade, worldwide, in case of exchange-traded Futures, and on average approximately USD 20 per USD 1,000,000 of the nominal amount of an OTC FX transaction, which includes a prime brokerage fee of currently USD 7 per USD 1,000,000) (however, such actual brokerage and give-up commissions, mark-ups and prime brokerage fees have been as high as approximately 2% for the Standard Risk Profile and approximately 3% for the Enhanced Risk Profile in the past); (b) less pro forma monthly management fees of 0.25% of beginning nominal account size (approximately 3% per annum); (c) less pro forma monthly performance fees at 25% of net new trading profits; and (d) plus pro forma interest income earned on actual funds.
As Transtrend is not privy in all cases to the arrangements between Transtrend’s customers and their brokers, the amount of interest income actually earned by such accounts is estimated at a rate equal to 90% of the prevailing interest rate relevant to the underlying currency subset of the Diversified Trend Program. Until August 31, 2008, the composite rate of return in the Capsule Performance Table includes pro forma interest income at a rate equal to 90% of the relevant 3-month interest rate earned by such accounts on Actual Funds. As of September 1, 2008, pro forma interest income on Actual Funds is calculated at a rate equal to 90% of the relevant overnight interest rate.
A negative monthly composite rate of return is mitigated by a consistent book entry reversal of the pro forma performance fees accrued, irrespective whether the book entry reversal was actually effectuated or interest was actually received. The book entry reversal of pro forma performance fees in periods of negative composite rates of return might reduce the volatility of the composite rate of returns in comparison to situations where performance fees are periodically settled. Periodic settlement of performance fees empties the performance fee reserve so that that negative rates of return occurring after the fixed settlement date can only be moderated by the give-back of the amount of newly built-up performance fees after this settlement date. Giving back earlier accrued pro forma performance fees in periods of negative rates of returns may result in an underestimation of drawdowns in comparison to situations where performance fees are periodically settled.
44
The accounts managed by Transtrend are generally subject to a variety of additional third party fees and expenses which are not directly related to Transtrend’s trading activities for such accounts but which are paid out of the assets of the accounts to various third parties, including, without limitation, selling agents, administrators, risk managers, consultants, valuation agents, attorneys, accountants, regulators and others. The type and amount of such fees and expenses vary on an account by account basis. Since Transtrend neither is paid nor is sharing in these fees or expenses and has no control over the amount and timing of such fees or expenses, Transtrend believes that deducting such fees and expenses from the performance of the accounts included in the Capsule Performance Table would not accurately represent Transtrend’s trading performance for such accounts. Moreover, such fees and expenses usually do not impact Transtrend’s performance fees as the advisory agreement between Transtrend and the client does not take such third party expenses into account when determining if an account has experienced net new trading profits for purposes of determining Transtrend’s performance fee. Accordingly, the performance of such accounts has not been adjusted to take account of these fees or expenses. In certain circumstances where Transtrend is managing an account for a fund sponsored by a third party, the advisory agreement between Transtrend and the fund may require that the calculation of Transtrend’s performance fee take certain fund expenses (e.g. administration costs) into consideration, which fund expenses would reduce the performance fees otherwise payable to Transtrend.
A substantial part of the client accounts are partially-funded accounts. Transtrend believes that the pro forma performance of the subset as stated in the Capsule Performance Table is reflective for the performance of the individual accounts which are included in the subset. However, for various reasons an individual account may have realized more or less favorable results than the composite results indicate.

NOTES TO PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
For periods beginning after January 31, 1993, Red Oak has adopted a new method of computing rate-of-return and performance disclosure, referred to as the “Fully-Funded Subset” method, pursuant to an Advisory published by the CFTC. To qualify for use of the Fully-Funded Subset method, the Advisory requires that certain computations be made in order to arrive at the Fully-Funded Subset and that the accounts for which performance is so reported meet two tests which are designed to provide assurance that the Fully-Funded Subset and the resultant monthly rates of return are representative of the trading program. Red Oak has performed these computations for periods subsequent to January 31, 1993. For periods prior to February 1, 1993, there were no notionally funded accounts. Subsequent to May 2001, there were no fully-funded accounts, therefore, rate of return is computed by dividing net performance by nominal account size (including “notional” funds). Additions and withdrawals are accounted for in accordance with the modified OAT (Only Accounts Traded) method as described in NFA Rule 2-34. In reviewing the foregoing description of Red Oak’s performance, prospective investors should understand that such performance is “net” of all fees and charges, and includes interest income applicable to the accounts comprising each composite performance record. Such composite performance is not necessarily indicative of any individual account. The fees and charges applicable to individual accounts in the foregoing composite performance records are not specifically described herein. However, the following is a general description of the charges applicable to such accounts.
Brokerage commissions are accounted for monthly and include the total amount of all brokerage commissions and other trading fees paid during the month plus or minus the change in brokerage commissions and other trading fees accrued on open positions from the preceding month.
Interest income is earned on U.S. government obligations and cash on deposit with futures commission merchants and is recorded on the accrual basis.
Management fees are charged to certain of the accounts managed by Red Oak for trading management services. Management fees range from 0% to 1/3 of 1% (0% to 4% annually) of equity subject to management fees at the end of each month.
Incentive fees are charged to the accounts managed by Red Oak based on the trading profits or losses earned each month. Incentive fees are charged at rates ranging from 15% to 25% of new trading profits, as defined. These fees are accrued monthly and are payable either quarterly, or annually.
In addition, the following terms used in describing all performance information are defined as follows:
“Aggregate assets (including “notional” funds)” is the aggregate amount of equity under management overall as of the end of the period covered by the capsule. “Notional” funds represent an amount in addition to actual assets which Red Oak is instructed by a client to treat as equity in an account, but which is not on deposit in (or available in respect of) such client’s account.
“Aggregate assets in this trading program (excluding “notional” funds)” is the aggregate amount of actual equity under management in the program as of the end of the period covered by the capsule.
“Draw-down” means losses experienced by the composite record over a specified period. Individual accounts may experience larger draw-downs than are reflected in composite records. Where an individual account has experienced a draw-down that is greater than has been experienced on a composite basis, the largest draw-down experienced by such individual account is presented. Draw-downs are measured on the basis of month-end assets only.
“Largest peak-to-valley draw-down” means the greatest percentage decline from any month-end net asset value of the performance of the accounts traded, on a composite basis or in respect of an individual account, due to overall loss sustained by such accounts during any period, which occurs without such month-end net asset value being equaled or exceeded as of a subsequent month-end. In Dollar terms, for
71
example, if the net asset value of an account declined by $1 in each of January and February, increased by $1 in March and declined again by $2 in April, a “peak-to-valley draw-down” analysis conducted as of the end of April would consider the “draw-down” to be still continuing and to be $3 in amount, whereas if such account had increased by $2 in March, the January-February draw-down would have ended as of the end of February at the $2 level.
“Monthly rate of return” for each month subsequent to January 1993 is calculated by dividing the net performance of the Fully-Funded Subset by the beginning equity of the Fully-Funded Subset, except in periods of significant additions or withdrawals to the accounts in the Fully-Funded Subset. In such instances, the Fully-Funded Subset is adjusted to exclude accounts with significant additions or withdrawals which would materially distort the rate of return, pursuant to the Fully-Funded Subset method. For each month prior to February 1993, “monthly rate of return” is calculated pursuant to the time-weighting method, dividing the net performance by the beginning equity in each month, except in periods of significant additions or withdrawals of equity to accounts. In such instances, beginning equity has been adjusted by time-weighted additions and withdrawals;i.e., beginning equity has been adjusted upwards (increased) by time-weighted additions and downwards (decreased) by time-weighted withdrawals. Subsequent to May 2001 there were no Fully-Funded accounts, therefore, rate of return is computed by dividing net performance by nominal account size (including “notional” funds).
“Compound annual rate of return” is calculated by multiplying on a compound basis each of the monthly rates of return and not by adding or averaging such monthly rates of return. For example, the compound rate of return of 21.16% for the year 2005 in Table I was calculated by multiplying 100 by the quantity [[(1-.1002)(1+.0328)(1-.1257)(1-.0746)(1+.0527)(1+.0289)(1+.0648)(1+.0337)(1+.1873)(1-.0305)(1+.0887)(1+.0786)] minus 100]. For periods of less than one year, the results are year-to-date.

FX Concepts is an independent investment adviser registered with the SEC. The firm maintains a complete list and description of composites, which is available upon request.
Results are based on fully discretionary accounts under management, including those accounts no longer with the firm. Composite performance is presented gross of foreign withholding taxes on dividends, interest income, and capital gains. Withholding taxes may vary according to the investor’s domicile. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The inclusion of a benchmark is not necessary as this is an absolute return strategy where performance is not correlated to a particular benchmark.
The U.S. Dollar is the currency used to express performance. Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and incentive allocations and include the reinvestment of all income. Net of fee performance was calculated using actual fees. Additional information regarding the policies for calculating and reporting returns is available upon request.
The investment management fee schedule for the composite is 1.75% of assets under management per annum. The Incentive allocation is 20% on new net profits. Actual investment advisory fees incurred by clients may vary.
The GCP Funded Composite was created February 1, 2002. FX Concepts, LLC’s compliance with the GIPS standards has been verified for the period January 1, 2002 through September 30, 2008 by Ashland Partners & Company LLP. A copy of the verification report is available upon request.

THE FUTURES MARKETS
Regulation of Markets
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
The recently passed Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) will affect the manner in which over-the-counter swap transactions are traded and the credit risk associated with such trading. Depending upon actions taken by regulatory authorities, these changes may also affect the manner of trading of over-the-counter foreign currency transactions. The general effective date of the derivatives portion of the Dodd-Frank Act is one year following its enactment. Transactions that have been entered into prior to implementation of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will remain in effect. Accordingly, even after the new regulatory framework is fully implemented, the risks of over-the-counter foreign exchange transactions will continue to be considerations with respect to transactions entered into prior to the implementation of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.
In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act requires the CFTC to adopt speculative position limits in certain commodities across futures markets, over-the-counter transactions that perform a significant price discovery function, and contracts traded on a foreign board of trade having direct market access from the U.S. that settle against the price of futures contracts traded on a U.S. market. Such limits may adversely affect the profitability of the Fund. The Dodd-Frank Act’s revisions to the U.S. regulatory framework may cause substantial dislocation and adjustment in trading mechanics and the risk/return characteristics of certain investment instruments.
The Dodd-Frank Act may also require registered investment advisers, such as the Managing Owner, to follow certain more stringent reporting and record keeping requirements, which, depending on the exact nature of the requirements adopted by the relevant regulatory agencies, could create significant additional expenses for the Managing Owner. The effect of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse.

Worst Historical Loss: Measure of risk (also known as maximum draw-down) that illustrates the largest peak-to-valley decline, based on monthly rates of return, during a given time period. The time period of analysis from January 2005 through October 2010, unless otherwise noted.
Standard Deviation: Measures the degree of variation of monthly returns around the mean (average) return. The higher the volatility of the investment returns, the higher the standard deviation will be.
1. | The annualized rate of return is calculated using the actual trading results for the Frontier Diversified Series-1 units from June 9, 2009 (when the Frontier Diversified Series began trading) through October 31, 2010. |
2. | The actual trading composite results of the Frontier Diversified Series major commodity trading advisors net of fees, pro forma for expenses of the Trust applicable to the Frontier Diversified Series-1 units as set forth in the Break-Even Analysis table in the Frontier Diversified Series Appendix. The pro forma annualized rate of return of the Frontier Diversified Series-2 units will be commensurately higher than that of the Frontier Diversified Series-1 units to the extent that the Frontier Diversified Series-2 expenses are lower than the Frontier Diversified Series-1 expenses as set forth in the Break-Even Analysis table. |

6. | The actual performance of the Frontier Diversified Series non-major commodity trading advisors and other non-major reference programs (swaps) adjusted for Frontier Diversified Series-1 fees and expenses. The composite was calculated using the relative weights of the advisors as they existed on October 31, 2010. Not all of the Frontier Diversified Series non-major commodity trading advisors have track records that go back the full five calendar years; therefore, within the calculation of the pro forma results, such non-major commodity trading advisors’ program allocations were prorated to the other non-major commodity trading advisors during the months preceding the commencement of their track records. |
