Such withdrawals were classified as a liability when the limited partner/member elected to redeem and informed the Funds. However, a limited partner/member could have requested a withdrawal as of the end of any day if such request was 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 were borne by the Funds and allocated to the Partnership, and also charged directly at the Partnership level.
