Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Effective November 1, 2010, Equinox Fund Management, LLC (the “Managing Owner”), the managing owner of The Frontier Fund, added a new commodity trading advisor to its platform. The Managing Owner will initially allocate a portion of the assets of the Campbell/Graham/Tiverton Series of The Frontier Fund (the “CGT Series”) to Berkeley Quantitative L.P. (“Berkeley”) via investment allocations in Berkeley Quantitative Colorado Fund LLC (the “BQ Fund”), a Delaware limited liability company operated by BQ Colorado GP LLC (“BQGP”), an affiliate of Berkeley. Berkeley will serve as a major commodity trading advisor to the CGT Series and as the investment manager to the BQ Fund. The BQ Fund pays Berkeley and BQGP the management and incentive fees respectively and, as such, the Managing Owner will not be paid the management and incentive fees payable by the CGT Series for allocations made to the BQ Fund. The BQ Fund also pays its own accounting, tax, audit, legal and other customary third-party professional services; the BQ Fund pays Berkeley an administrative fee for overseeing the execution of these administrative services. In addition, the BQ Fund pays for transactional fees (such as round-turn commissions) and other customary fees and expenses. The foregoing fees and expenses will ultimately be borne indirectly by the CGT Series.
The BQ Fund has engaged J.P. Morgan Futures Inc. (“J.P. Morgan”) and Newedge USA, LLC as the futures commissions merchants for executing trades. The CGT Series has granted to J.P. Morgan a guarantee of the obligations of the BQ Fund solely relating to the CGT Series’ investments in the BQ Fund.
