Investment in the Funds | 6. Investment in the Funds: On August 1, 2013, the assets allocated to SECOR for trading were invested in SECOR Master, a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of Delaware. SECOR Master permits accounts managed by SECOR using a variation of the program traded by SECOR Alpha Master Fund L.P., a proprietary, systematic trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the general partner of SECOR Master. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by SECOR are permitted to be limited partners of SECOR Master. The General Partner and SECOR believe that trading through this master/feeder structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process. The General Partner and SECOR have agreed that SECOR will trade the Partnership’s assets allocated to SECOR at a level that is up to 1.5 times the leverage applied to the assets of SECOR Alpha Master Fund L.P. On February 1, 2017, the Partnership allocated a portion of its assets to AE Capital, which were managed and traded directly by AE Capital pursuant to AE Capital’s AE Systematic FX Fund Program through a trading account in the Partnership’s name from March 1, 2017 until January 31, 2018. Effective February 1, 2018, the assets allocated to AE Capital were transferred into AE Capital Master, a limited liability company organized under the limited liability company laws of the State of Delaware, through which they are managed and traded by AE Capital pursuant to the same strategy. AE Capital Master permits accounts managed by AE Capital using AE Capital’s AE Systematic FX Fund Program, a proprietary systematic strategy, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the trading manager to AE Capital Master. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by AE Capital, including the Partnership, are permitted to be members of AE Capital Master.

The Funds and the Partnership engage in such trading through commodity brokerage accounts maintained with MS&Co. Generally, a limited partner/member in the Funds withdraws all or part of its capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Funds as of the end of any month (the “Redemption Date”) after a request has been made to the General Partner/Trading Manager at least three days in advance of the Redemption Date. Such withdrawals are classified as a liability when the limited partner/member elects to redeem and informs the Funds. However, a limited partner/member may request a withdrawal as of the end of any day if such request is received by the General Partner/Trading Manager at least three days in advance of the proposed withdrawal day. Management fees, ongoing selling agent fees, the General Partner fees and incentive fees are charged at the Partnership level. Professional fees are borne by the Funds and allocated to the Partnership, and also charged directly at the Partnership level. Clearing fees are borne by the Funds and allocated to the Funds’ limited partners/members, including the Partnership. Clearing fees are also borne by the Partnership directly.
