1. | General: |
Fairfield Futures Fund L.P. II (formerly, Citigroup Fairfield Futures Fund L.P. II) (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership which was organized on December 18, 2003 under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage 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, indices, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, lumber, metals and softs. The Partnership commenced trading operations on March 15, 2004. The commodity interests that are traded by the Master (as defined below) are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
Between January 12, 2004 (commencement of the offering period) and March 12, 2004, 28,601 redeemable units of Limited Partnership Interest (“Redeemable Units”) and 285 Unit equivalents of General Partnership Interest were sold at $1,000 per Redeemable Unit. The proceeds of the initial offering were held in an escrow account until March 15, 2004 at which time they were remitted to the Partnership for trading. The Partnership privately and continuously offers up to 200,000 Redeemable Units to qualified investors.
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (formerly Citigroup 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”), a newly registered non-clearing futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association. Morgan Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns 51% of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Partnership, owns 49% of 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.
On June 1, 2006, the Partnership allocated substantially all of its capital to the CMF Graham Capital Master Fund L.P. (the “Master”), a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 74,569.3761 Redeemable Units of the Master with cash of $75,688,021. The Master was formed in order to permit accounts managed by Graham Capital Management L.P. (“Graham” or the “Advisor”) using Graham’s K4D-12.5 program, a proprietary systematic trading system, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the general partner of the Master. In addition, the Advisor is a special limited partner (the “Special Limited Partner”) of the Partnership. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by the Advisor, including the Partnership, are permitted to be limited partners of the Master. The Master’s commodity broker is CGM. The General Partner and the Advisor believe that trading through this master-feeder structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process. Expenses to investors as a result of the investment in the Master are approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected.
The General Partner is not aware of any material changes to the trading programs discussed above during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009.
At September 30, 2009, the Partnership owned approximately 26.0% of the Master. At December 31, 2008, the Partnership owned approximately 27.1% of the Master. It is the Partnership’s intention to continue to invest substantially all of its assets in the Master. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of the Master. The Master’s Statements of Financial Condition, Schedules of Investments and Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partner’s Capital, are included herein.
The General Partner and each Limited Partner 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 their initial capital contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions.
The accompanying financial statements 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and changes in partners’ capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read 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, 2008.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the Partnership’s Statements of Financial Condition through November 16, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105-10”) (the “Codification”). ASC 105-10 established the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. GAAP for use in financial statements except for SEC rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. Codification became the single source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applies to all financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.
The Partnership is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230-10-15 Statement of Cash Flows (formerly, FAS No. 102, “Statement of Cash Flows Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale”).
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.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

3. | Trading Activities: |
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a variety of commodity interests, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The Partnership invests substantially all of its assets through a “master/feeder” structure. The Partnership’s pro-rata share of the results of the Master’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
The customer agreements between the Partnership and CGM and the Master and CGM give the Partnership and the Master, respectively, the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes, the unrealized gains and losses on open futures and forward contracts on the Statements of Financial Condition as the criteria under ASC 210-20, Balance Sheet (formerly, FIN No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts”) have been met.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for trading purposes. The average fair values of these interests during the nine and twelve months ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, were $2,258,816 and $1,746,353 respectively. The fair values of these commodity interests, including options thereon, if applicable, at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $3,638,720 and $882,836, respectively. Fair values for exchange traded commodity futures and options are based on quoted market prices for those futures and options. Fair values for all other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available are based on other measures of fair value deemed appropriate by the General Partner.

Brokerage commissions are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value on the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, additions and redemptions.
The Master adopted ASC 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging Activities (formerly, FAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) as of January 1, 2009 which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815-10 only expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and related hedging activities and has no impact on the Statements of Financial Condition or Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital. The contracts outstanding at the period ended September 30, 2009, are indicative of volume traded during the period. See the Schedule of Investments. The following table indicates the fair values of derivative instruments of futures and forward contracts as separate assets and liabilities.

4. | Fair Value Measurement: |
Investments. The Partnership values its investment in the Master at its net asset value per unit as calculated by the Master. The Master values its investments as described in note 2 of the Master’s notes to the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2008.
Fair Value Measurements. The Partnership adopted ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly, FAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements”) as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value 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. ASC 820-10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. 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. The Partnership did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820-10 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
The Partnership values investment in Master where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership based on the end of the day net asset value of the Master (Level 2). The value of the Partnership’s investment in the Master reflects its proportional interest in the Master. As of and for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments that are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) or priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

Investments.All commodity interests of the Master (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. 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.
Fair Value Measurements.The Master adopted ASC 820-10 as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value 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. ASC 820-10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. 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. The Master did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820-10 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
The Master considers 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). As of and for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

5. | Financial Instrument Risks: |
In the normal course of its business, the Partnership, through its investment in the Master, is party 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 at 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 and certain forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include certain forwards and option contracts. 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.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Master 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 Master is 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 Master’s risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Master’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Master to offset unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events. The Master have credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Master’s assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Master’s counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Master’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 Master are subject. These monitoring systems allow the General Partner 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, 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 Master’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

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. Its only assets are its investment in Master and cash. The Master does not engage in sales of goods or services. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership, through its investment in the Master. While substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity, no such losses occurred in the third quarter of 2009.
The Partnership’s capital consists of capital contributions of the partners, as increased or decreased by income (loss) from its investment in the Master, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Partnership capital decreased 17.9% from $52,801,572 to $43,334,673. This decrease was attributable to the redemption of 10,230.2903 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest totaling $10,850,768 and 1,161.1489 Redeemable Units of Special Limited Partnership Interest totaling $1,250,000, which was partially offset by the net income from operations of $168,593, coupled with additional sales of 2,296.7074 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest totaling $2,401,000 and 59.3707 Redeemable Units of Special Limited Partnership Interest totaling $64,276. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investment in the Master in subsequent periods.
The Master’s capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by realized and/or unrealized gains or losses on trading, expenses, interest income, redemptions of Units and distribution of profits, if any.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Master’s capital decreased 25.2% from $224,490,942 to $168,022,693. This decrease was attributable to the redemption of 45,717.9975 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest totaling $70,189,637 and distribution of interest income to feeder funds totaling $115,570, which was partially offset by the net income from operations of $10,429,707 and additional sales of 2,230.4108 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest totaling $3,407,251. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.
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.
Statement of Cash Flows. The Partnership is not required to provide a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted by ASC 230-10.
Investments. The Partnership values its investment in the Master at its net asset value per unit as calculated by the Master. The Master values its investments as described in note 2 of the Master’s notes to the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2008.
Fair Value Measurements. The Partnership and the Master adopted ASC 820-10 as of January 1, 2008 which defines fair value 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. The Partnership and the Master did not apply the deferral allowed by ASC 820-10 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
The Partnership values investments in Master where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership based on the end of the day net asset value of the Master (Level 2). The value of the Partnership’s investment in the Master reflects its proportional interest in the Master. As of and for the period ended September 30, 2009, the Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments that are are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) or priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).
The Master considers 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). As of and for the period ended September 30, 2009, the Master did not hold any derivative instruments that are priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

Futures Contracts. The Master trades futures contracts. 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 can not occur (such as S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master 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 Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records 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. Because 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, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the Master agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the Master’s 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. Realized gains (losses) and changes in 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 and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
The Partnership 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 gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
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 Master are cash settled based on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (“variation margin”) may be made or received by the Master 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 Master. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with short positions. When the contract is closed at the prompt date, the Master records 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. Because 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, credit exposure is limited. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on their share of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
In 2007, the Partnership adopted ASC 740-10 Income Taxes (formerly, FAS No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). ASC 740-10 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740-10 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-likelythan-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 has continued to evaluate the application of ASC 740-10 and has concluded that the adoption of ASC 740-10 had no impact on the operations of the Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnership’s financial statements.
The following are the major tax jurisdictions for the Partnership and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States— 2005.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In 2009, the Partnership adopted ASC 820-10-65 Fair Value Measurements (formerly, FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”). ASC 820-10-65 reaffirms that fair value is 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. ASC 820-10-65 also reaffirms the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. The application of ASC 820-10-65 is required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Partnership’s Level 2 assets and liabilities. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 had no effect on the Partnership’s Financial Statements.
Subsequent Events. In 2009, the Partnership adopted ASC 855-10 Subsequent Events (formerly, FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The objective of ASC 855-10 is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued.

Results of Operations
During the Partnership’s third quarter of 2009, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 6.9% from $1,012.84 to $1,082.63 as compared to a decrease of 5.6% in the third quarter of 2008. The Partnership, through its investment in the Master, experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the third quarter of 2009 of $3,754,703. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, grains, metals, softs and indices and were partially offset by losses in energy, livestock, and U.S. and non-U.S interest rates. The Partnership, through its investment in the Master, experienced a net trading loss before brokerage commissions and related fees in the third quarter of 2008 of $2,694,760. Losses were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, grains, non-U.S. interest rates, metals, and softs and were partially offset by gains in U.S. interest rates, livestock, and indices.
The third quarter of 2009 presented a challenging trading environment with mixed technical signals across the markets. While the broad trends indicated that most economies and markets were recovering, some trends were not well established to be profitable. The Partnership was profitable in currencies, grains, metals, soft commodities and stock indices while losses were captured in energy and interest rates.
In currencies, strong gains were registered from trading the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Euro and some emerging market currencies. In grains, strong gains from wheat were partially offset by smaller losses in soybeans. In metals, most industrial and precious metals established firm bullish trends that began in early 2009. The Partnership capitalized on these trends and registered strong gains. In soft commodities, strong gains were captured in sugar as the prices jumped on supply concerns due to drought conditions in India, once the producers of sugar. These gains were offset to a small extent by losses in coffee and cotton. Stock indices continued the bullish trends established earlier in the year and remained profitable.
In the energy sector, losses were captured as the markets remained in contango. Natural gas demonstrated a strong bearish trend but the trend seemed to be reversing late in the quarter. Crude oil and heating oil remained mostly trend-less and volatile, thus contributing to losses. In interest rates, the Partnership registered losses in both U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, as the rates remained heavily volatile and non-directional. Central reserve banks of most developed economies seemed to be in a dilemma, balancing the future inflationary expectations with the current fragile condition of the economies.
During the Partnership’s nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Net Asset Value per Redeemable Unit increased 0.6% from $1,076.21 to $1,082.63 as compared to an increase of 8.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Partnership, through its investment in the Master, experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $2,828,803. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, grains, livestock, metals, softs and indices and were partially offset by losses in energy, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates. The Partnership, through its investment in the Master, experienced a net trading gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $9,340,883. Gains were primarily attributable to the trading of commodity futures in currencies, energy, grains, U.S. interest rates, livestock, softs and indices and primarily offset by losses in non-U.S. interest rates and metals.
Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. The potential for broad and rapid price fluctuations increases the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increases the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership (and the Master) depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Advisor 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 Advisor is able to identify them, the Partnership/Master expects to increase capital through operations.
Interest income on 80% of the Partnership’s daily average equity allocated to it by the Master, was earned at a30-day U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average non-competitive yield on3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days. CGM may continue to maintain the Master’s assets in cashand/or place all of the Master’s assets in90-day Treasury bills and pay the Partnership its allocated share of 80% of the interest earned on the Treasury bills purchased. Twenty percent of the interest earned on Treasury bills purchased may be retained by CGM and/or credited to the General Partner. Interest income allocated from the Master for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $177,970 and $641,254, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower U.S. Treasury bill rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008.

Brokerage commissions are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value on the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, additions and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be analyzed in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Brokerage commissions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $217,715 and $735,738, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decrease in brokerage commissions is due to lower average net assets as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008.
Management 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, additions and redemptions. Management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $95,875 and $324,698, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decrease in management fees is due to lower average net assets as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008.
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, additions and redemptions. Administrative fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $23,970 and $81,177, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decrease in administrative fees is due to lower average net assets as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008.
Special Limited Partner profit share allocations are based on the new trading profits generated by the Advisor at the end of the quarter, as defined in the advisory agreement between the Partnership, the General Partner and the Advisor. The profit share allocations earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $64,276. There were no profit share allocations earned for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The profit share allocations earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $517,496. The Advisor will not be paid a profit share allocation until the Advisor recovers the net loss incurred and earns additional new trading profits for the Partnership.
In allocating substantially all of the assets of the Partnership to the Master, the General Partner considered the Advisor’s past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets to the Advisor at any time.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
All of the Partnership’s assets are subject to the risk of trading loss through its investment in the Master. The Master is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the Master’s 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 Master’s 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 consequence of the organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Master’s open positions and, consequently, its earnings and cash balances. The Master’s 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 Master’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.
The Master rapidly acquires and liquidates 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 Master’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Master could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Master’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Master of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Master’s 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 Master’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Master’s attempts to manage its market risk.
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Master as the measure of its 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.
The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk associated with the Master’s open positions by market category as of September 30, 2009, and the highest, lowest and average values during the three months ended September 30, 2009. All open position trading risk exposures of the Master have been included in calculating the figures set forth below. There has been no material change in the trading Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
As of September 30, 2009, the Master’s total capitalization was $168,022,693 and the Partnership owned approximately 26.0% of the Master. The Partnership invests substantially all of its assets in the Master. The Partnership’s Value at Risk for the portion of its assets that are traded indirectly through its investment in the Master as of September 30, 2009 was as follows:

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership on the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods expected in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosed controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the General Partner, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.
Management is responsible for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the Partnership’s external disclosures.
The General Partner’s CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined inRules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2009 and, based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that at that date the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
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. |
There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting process during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
The following disclosure supplements the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and under Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Partnership’s Quarterly Report on Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009.
Speculative position and trading limits may reduce profitability.The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and U.S. exchanges have established speculative position limits on the maximum net long or net short position which any person may hold or control in particular futures and options on futures. The trading instructions of an advisor may have to be modified, and positions held by the Partnership and the Master may have to be liquidated in order to avoid exceeding these limits. Such modification or liquidation could adversely affect the operations and profitability of the Partnership and the Master by increasing transaction costs to liquidate positions and foregoing potential profits.
Regulatory changes could restrict the Partnership’s operations.Regulatory changes could adversely affect the Partnership and the Master by restricting its markets or activities, limiting its trading and/or increasing the taxes to which investors are subject. The General Partner is not aware of any definitive regulatory developments that might adversely affect the Partnership and the Master; however, since June 2008, several bills have been proposed in the U.S. Congress in response to record energy and agricultural prices and the financial crisis. Some of the pending legislation, if enacted, could impact the manner in which swap contracts are traded and/or settled and limit trading by speculators (such as the Partnership and the Master) in futures and OTC markets. One of the proposals would authorize the CFTC and the Commission to regulate swap transactions. Other potentially adverse regulatory initiatives could develop suddenly and without notice.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
For the three months ended September 30, 2009 there were additional sales of 1,119.4122 Redeemable Units of Limited Partnership Interest totaling $1,155,000.
