Campbell Delaware Feeder LLC
Notes to the financial statements
For the year/period ended 31 December 2016
1. General
Campbell Delaware Feeder LLC (the “Fund”) was organised as a Delaware limited liability company on 25 February 2015. The Fund commenced trading on 1 May 2015.
The investment objective of the Fund is to maximise the long-term total returns to the holders of the Fund’s units (the “Units”“). The Fund invests substantially all of its investible assets (to the extent not retained in cash) in, and conducts its investment program through, a “master-feeder structure” by investing into Campbell MAC Cayman Fund Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands under the provisions of the Companies Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the “Master Fund”). As at 31 December 2016, the Fund held 23.44% of the Master Fund.
The most recent, applicable Confidential Offering Memorandum of the Fund (the “Offering Memorandum”) is dated 1 May 2015.
Campbell & Company, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, has been appointed to serve as the investment manager of the Master Fund (the “Investment Manager”). The Investment Manager is registered as an “investment advisor” under the U.S. Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisors Act”), with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as a commodity trading advisor with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”), and is a member of the U.S. National Futures Association (“NFA”) in such capacity. FRM Investment Management (USA) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, has been appointed as the manager, risk manager and commodity pool operator of the Fund (the “Risk Manager”). The Risk Manager is registered as an investment advisor under the Advisors Act with the SEC, as a commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor with the CFTC and is a member of the NFA in such capacities.
The financial statements of the Master Fund are attached and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars (“US$”).
Management has determined that the Fund is an investment company in conformity with US GAAP. Therefore the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).
Management has made an assessment of the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Fund has resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern; therefore, these financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.
The Fund is exempted from preparing a statement of cash flow under ASC 946 as the Fund has no level 3 investments, does not hold any debt instruments and presents a statement of changes in unitholders’ capital.
a) Use of accounting estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes including certain valuation assumptions. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
b) Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity´s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after 15 December 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Fund adopted this ASU during the year, which had no significant impact on the financial statements.
c) Investment in Master Fund
The Fund’s investment in the Master Fund is recorded at fair value, which is the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Fund. The Fund records its proportionate share of the Master Fund’s income, expenses, and realised and unrealised gains and losses in the statement of operations.
Valuation of the investments held by the Master Fund including, but not limited to, the valuation techniques used and classification within the fair value hierarchy of instruments held by the Master Fund are discussed in the notes to the Master Fund’s financial statements which are attached to these financial statements.
d) Foreign currency
Items included in the Fund’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates which is US$ (the “Functional Currency”). These financial statements are presented in the Functional Currency, US$, reflecting the fact that transactions are denominated primarily in US$.
Campbell Delaware Feeder LLC
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the year/period ended 31 December 2016
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
d) Foreign currency (continued)
Transactions during the year denominated in foreign currencies have been translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the date of the statement of financial condition. For investment transactions and investments held at the year-end denominated in foreign currency, the resulting gains or losses are included in the net realised gain and change in unrealised depreciation from non-commodity interest derivatives and foreign currency in the statement of operations.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of financial instruments. Such fluctuations are included in the net realised gain and change in unrealised depreciation from non-commodity interest derivatives and foreign currency in the statement of operations.
e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash held at a bank maturing within three months of the year end date.
f) Recognition and allocation of income or loss
The Fund records subscriptions to and redemptions from the Master Fund on the transaction date. The Fund records its proportionate share of the Master Fund’s income, expenses and change in realised and unrealised gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own income and expenses. The Master Fund’s income and expense recognition and net gain/(loss) allocation policies are disclosed in the notes to the Master Fund’s financial statements which are attached to these financial statements.
g) Redemptions payable
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity under US GAAP (ASC 480-10 Classification and measurement of redeemable securities) (“ASC 480-10”), financial instruments mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holder are classified as liabilities when a redemption request has been received and the redemption amount has been determined.
Redemption notices received for which the amounts and number of Units are not fixed remain in capital until the net asset value used to determine the redemption and Unit amounts are determined. The Fund does not have any redemptions payable as at the year end.
h) Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial condition when the Fund has a legally enforceable right to offset and the transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis or simultaneously. At the year-end no financial instruments of the Fund are being presented net within the statement of financial condition of the Fund.
i) Taxation
The Fund is classified as a partnership for United States Federal income tax purposes. Consequently, no provision has been made in these financial statements for United States federal or state income taxes as any tax liability arising from operations of the Fund is the responsibility of the Unitholders and not the Fund.
ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of ASC 740 (“ASU 740-10”)” clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognised in the Fund’s financial statements in conformity with ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.
Management evaluates such tax positions to determine whether, for all tax years still subject to assessment or challenge by the relevant taxation authorities, the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be being sustained on examination. This evaluation includes the position that further withholding taxes will not be levied on income already received by the Fund. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are initially recorded and subsequently measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realised on ultimate settlement, using the facts, circumstances and information at the reporting date.
Management has analysed the Fund’s tax positions from commencement of operations and has concluded that no provision, other than for Spanish capital gains tax as described below, for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Management’s assessment considers tax years subject to investigation. The Fund recognises interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognised tax liability as a tax charge in the statement of operations. During the year ended 31 December 2016, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties except in respect of Spanish capital gains tax as described below.
j) Preliminary expenses
The Fund has borne its organisational expenses, including, without limitation, legal, accounting, filing and administration expenses associated with the organisation of the Fund and the offering of Units. For financial statement and net asset value purposes the organisational costs are amortised over the first 36 months of trading of the Fund.
3. Spanish capital gains tax
In accordance with ASC 740, Spanish capital gains tax of US$272,341 was recognised in the statement of operations within the tax charge allocated from the Master Fund, which includes interests and penalties allocated from the Master Fund.
Campbell Delaware Feeder LLC
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the year/period ended 31 December 2016
4. Fair value of financial instruments
The Fund invests in the Master Fund as part of a “master-feeder” structure as disclosed in note 1. The investment objective of the Master Fund is disclosed in the financial statements of the Master Fund which are attached to these financial statements. The redemption terms of the Master Fund are in accordance with the redemption terms of the Fund as disclosed in note 8 of these financial statements.
The fair value of the Fund’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments approximates the carrying amounts presented in the statement of financial condition.
5. Financial risk management and associated risk
Since the Fund invests in the Master Fund, the Fund will also bear the risks associated with the Master Fund, which are disclosed in note 8 of Master Fund’s financial statements and in the Offering Memorandum.
6. Fees and expenses
Management fees
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement entered into between the Master Fund and the Investment Manager (“IMA”), the Master Fund pays a management fee to the Investment Manager. Details of the IMA are disclosed in note 9 of the Master Fund’s financial statements.
Incentive fees
Pursuant to the IMA, the Master Fund pays an incentive fee to the Investment Manager. Details of the IMA are disclosed in the note 9 of the Master Fund’s financial statements.
Risk management fees
Pursuant to the risk management agreement entered into by and among the Fund, the Master Fund and the Risk Manager (the “Management Agreement”), the Fund pays the Risk Manager a risk management fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the trading level of the Master Fund’s assets attributable to each series of the Fund, quarterly in arrears, and a pro rata share of any licensing fees for the use of any risk assessment tools provided by any third party which are used by the Risk Manager in providing services to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement.
Administration fees
The Fund pays the administrator of the Fund (the “Administrator”) an annual administration fee of US$21,500. The Administrator’s fees are subject to review from time to time to reflect changes in the operational cost of administering the Fund, as further set out in the administration agreement entered into between Administrator and the Fund. In addition, the Administrator receives an additional administration fee from the Master Fund of up to 0.135% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund.
7. Related party transactions
The Risk Manager is a related party as it is the manager, risk manager and commodity pool operator of the Fund. The Risk Manager is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Man Group plc and therefore all subsidiaries of Man Group plc are also related parties.
The Investment Manager is a related party as it is the investment manager of the Master Fund. Terms of incentive fees and management fees are disclosed in note 9 of the Master Fund’s financial statements.
Management is or may become involved in other financial investment and professional activities which may cause conflicts of interest with the management of the Fund. These activities include management or administration of other companies (including those with investment objectives similar to those of the Fund or structures which may be related to Man Group plc sponsored investment funds), purchases and sales of financial instruments and other investments, investment and management counselling and serving as directors, advisors and/or agents of other companies, including companies and other legal structures in which the Fund may invest and/or which may invest in the Fund.
The following transactions took place between the Fund and its related parties for the year ended 31 December 2016:

8. Unitholders’ capital
The minimum initial capital contribution and the minimum additional contribution by a Unitholder is US$100,000. The Manager may determine the current minimum subscription and/or such other amount in its sole discretion.
Unitholders may, subject to the restrictions set out in the Offering Memorandum, redeem their Units on the first business day of each week or month. Redemptions may be accepted on days other than the specified redemption date, in the Manager’s sole discretion. Units will be considered to be redeemed on a “first purchased, first redeemed” basis.

The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Manager
Campbell Delaware Feeder LLC
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Campbell Delaware Feeder LLC (the “Fund”), which comprise the statement of financial condition, as of 31 December 2016, and the related statements of operations and changes in unitholders’ capital for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Campbell Delaware Feeder LLC at 31 December 2016, and the results of its operations and changes in its unitholders’ capital for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Campbell MAC Cayman Fund Limited
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2016
1. General
Campbell MAC Cayman Fund Limited (the “Master Fund”) is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands under the provisions of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands (as amended). The Master Fund was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 11 October 2013. The Master Fund is an open-ended mutual fund registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority and regulated under the Mutual Funds Law of the Cayman Islands (as amended).
The investment objective of the Master Fund is to maximise the long-term total returns to the holders of the Fund’s redeemable participating shares (the “Shares”). The Master Fund has two separate feeder funds, Campbell Cayman Feeder, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (the “Offshore Fund”), and Campbell Delaware Feeder LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Onshore Fund”; and, together with the Offshore Fund, the “Feeder Funds”). The Feeder Funds invest substantially all of their assets (to the extent not retained in cash) in the Master Fund.
Further feeder funds may be created to invest in the Master Fund. As at 31 December 2016, the Offshore Fund and the Onshore Fund held 76.56% and 23.44% respectively of the Master Fund.
Campbell & Company, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, has been appointed to serve as the investment manager of the Master Fund (the “Investment Manager”). The Investment Manager is registered as an “investment advisor” under the U.S. Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisors Act”), with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as a commodity trading advisor with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) and is a member of the U.S. National Futures Association (the “NFA”) in such capacity. FRM Investment Management (USA) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, has been appointed as the risk manager and commodity pool operator of the Master Fund (the “Risk Manager”). The Risk Manager is registered as an investment advisor under the Advisors Act with the SEC, as a commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor with the CFTC and is a member of the NFA in such capacities.
2. Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars (“US$”).
Management has determined that the Master Fund is an investment company in conformity with US GAAP. Therefore the Master Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).
Management has made an assessment of the Master Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Master Fund has resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Master Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern; therefore, the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.
The Master Fund is exempted from preparing a statement of cash flow under ASC 946 as the Master Fund has no level 3 investments, does not hold any debt instruments and presents a statement of changes in net assets.
a) Use of accounting estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes including certain valuation assumptions. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
b) Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity´s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after 15 December 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Master Fund adopted this ASU during the year, which has had no significant impact on the financial statements.
c) Investments transactions and related investment income and expenses
Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realised gains and losses are computed using the first-in, first-out method. Interest income, interest expense and operating expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income, net of applicable withholding taxes and dividend expenses on financial instruments sold short, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

d) Fair value of financial instruments
Definition and hierarchy
Derivative contracts are carried at fair value. Fair value is defined 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.
A fair value hierarchy that prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques is used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
· Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
· Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
· Level 3 — Prices or valuation that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Valuation
Investments with values based on quoted market prices in active markets including active listed equities, are classified within Level 1. The Master Fund does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments, including in situations where the Master Fund holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices for an identical instrument, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. As Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non—transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level 3 instruments include private placements. When observable prices are not available for these financial instruments, the Investment Manager uses one or more valuation techniques e.g., the market approach or the income approach, for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3, the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.
Derivative Instruments can be exchange-traded or privately negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC”).
OTC derivatives are valued by the Master Fund using observable inputs, such as quotations received from the counterparty, dealers or brokers, whenever available and considered reliable. In instances where models are used, the value of an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability and reliability of observable inputs.
These OTC derivatives that have less liquidity or for which inputs are unobservable are classified within Level 3. While the valuations of these less liquid OTC derivatives may utilise some Level 1 and/or Level 2 inputs, they also include other unobservable inputs which are considered significant to the fair value determination. At each measurement date, the Investment Manager updates the Level 1 and Level 2 inputs to reflect observable inputs, though the resulting gains and losses are reflected within Level 3 due to the significance of the unobservable inputs.
e) Foreign currency
Items included in the Master Fund’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, which is US$ (the “Functional Currency”). The financial statements are presented in the Functional Currency and not the local currency of the Cayman Islands reflecting the fact that transactions are denominated primarily in US$.
Transactions during the year denominated in foreign currencies have been translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the date of the statement of financial condition. For investment transactions and investments held at the year-end denominated in foreign currency, the resulting gains or losses are included in the net realised gain and change in unrealised appreciation from non-commodity interest derivatives and foreign currency in the statement of operations.
The Master Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of financial instruments. Such fluctuations are included in net realised gains and change in unrealised appreciation from derivatives and foreign currency.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash held at a bank and prime brokers maturing within three months of the year end date.
g) Allocation of income or loss
Income, expenses, realised and change in unrealised gains or losses on investments are allocated pro-rata to each share class based on the respective net asset value.
h) Redemptions payable
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity under US GAAP (ASC 480-10 Classification and measurement of redeemable securities) (“ASC 480-10”), financial instruments mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holder are classified as liabilities when a redemption request has been received and the redemption amount has been determined.
Redemption notices received for which the amount and number of shares are not fixed remain in capital until the net asset value used to determine the redemption and share amounts are determined. The Master Fund does not have any redemptions payable as at the year end.
i) Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial condition when the Master Fund has a legally enforceable right to offset and the transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis or simultaneously. At the year end no financial instruments of the Master Fund are being presented net within the statement of financial condition of the Master Fund.
j) Taxation
The Cayman Islands currently has no income, corporation or capital gains tax, no taxes by way of withholding and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax. In addition, the Master Fund has applied for and received from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands pursuant to The Tax Concessions Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands, an undertaking that, for a period of twenty years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is thereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to the Master Fund or its operations. In addition no tax on profits, income, gains or appreciation which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable on or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of the Master Fund.
ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of ASC 740 (“ASU 740-10”) clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognised in the Master Fund’s financial statements in conformity with ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.
Management evaluates such tax positions to determine whether, for all tax years still subject to assessment or challenge by the relevant taxation authorities, the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be being sustained on examination. This evaluation includes the position that further withholding taxes will not be levied on income already received by the Master Fund. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are initially recorded and subsequently measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realised on ultimate settlement, using the facts, circumstances and information at the reporting date.
Management has analysed the Master Fund’s tax positions from commencement of operations and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Master Fund’s financial statements except in respect of Spanish capital gains tax as outlined in note 3. Management’s assessment considers tax years subject to investigation. The Master Fund recognises interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognised tax liability as a tax charge in the statement of operations. During the year ended 31 December 2016, the Master Fund did not incur any interest or penalties except in respect of Spanish capital gains tax as outlined in note 3.
3. Spanish capital gains tax
In accordance with ASC 740, Spanish capital gains tax of US$740,000 was recognised in the statement of operations within the tax charge which includes interests and penalties and US$740,000 was payable as at 31 December 2016.
4. Cash and Cash equivalents and balances with/due to brokers
At the year end amounts disclosed as cash and cash equivalents, balances with brokers and balances due to brokers were held at HSBC Bank Plc (the “Bank”) and UBS Warburg Ltd. (the “Prime Broker”). Balances with brokers and balances due to brokers represent the margin account balances held in the broker and balances payable to broker as at the year end. Due from brokers and to brokers represent receivables for financial instruments sold and payables for financial instruments purchased that have been contracted for but not yet settled or delivered on the statement of financial position date respectively. These include amounts transferred as collateral (which is subject to a security interest) against open derivatives, short positions or financial instruments purchased on margin.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2016
4. Cash and Cash equivalents and balances with/due to brokers (continued)
Amounts receivable from short sales and collateral may be restricted in whole or part until the related financial instruments are purchased. To the extent that the financial instruments are purchased on margin, the margin debt may be secured on the related financial instruments. The portion of balances with brokers represented by collateral as at 31 December 2016 was US$15,955,418.
Included in the cash and cash equivalents balances as at 31 December 2016 is cash in foreign currencies with a fair value of US$ 291,644 (cost US$ 291,803).
5. Fair value measurements
The Master Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been categorised based upon the fair value hierarchy set out in note 2. The following is a summary of the Master Fund’s financial instruments carried at fair value as at 31 December 2016:

There were no significant transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year ended 31 December 2016.
The Master Fund did not hold any level 3 investments during the year.
Investments are reviewed at each financial reporting point to ensure that they are correctly classified between level 1, 2 and 3 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy outlined above. Where an investment’s characteristics change during the year and investments no longer meet the criteria of a given level, they are transferred into a more appropriate level at the end of relevant financial reporting year.
6. Derivatives
Typically, derivative contracts serve as components of the Master Fund’s investment strategy and are utilised primarily to structure and hedge investments to enhance performance and reduce risk to the Master Fund. The derivative contracts that the Master Fund is a party to consist of forward contracts and futures contracts. As at 31 December 2016, the derivative contracts were included in the Master Fund’s statement of financial condition at fair value.
The Master Fund records its derivative activities on a mark-to-market basis. Fair values are determined in accordance with the valuation principles set out in note 2.
For all OTC contracts, the Master Fund enters into master netting agreements with its counterparties, which may allow in certain circumstances netting of assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial condition when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. As at 31 December 2016 no assets or liabilities are offset in the statement of financial condition.

The primary difference in the risk associated with OTC contracts and exchange-traded contracts is credit risk. The Master Fund has credit risk from OTC contracts when two conditions are present (i) the OTC contracts have unrealised gains, net of any collateral and (ii) the counterparty of the contracts default. The credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts is minimal because the exchange ensures that their contracts are always honoured. As at 31 December 2016, all future contracts were exchange traded all other derivatives were OTC contracts.
Futures are contracts for delayed delivery of commodities, securities, equity indices or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified commodity or instrument, at a specified price or yield. Gains and losses on futures are recorded by the Master Fund based upon market fluctuations and are recorded as realised or unrealised gains or losses in the statement of operations.
Forward contracts entered into by the Master Fund represent a firm commitment to buy or sell an underlying asset, or currency at a specified value and point in time based upon an agreement or contracted quantity. The realised/unrealised gain or loss is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the onset and the value of the contract at settlement date/year-end date and is included in the statement of operations.
Derivative financial instruments are generally based on notional amounts which are not recorded in the financial statements. These notional amounts represent the theoretical principal value on which the cash flows of the derivative transactions are based. Unrealised gains or losses, rather than notional amounts, or the exchange-traded derivatives traded by the Master Fund are included in the statement of financial condition.
7. Offsetting of assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial condition when the Master Fund has a legally enforceable right to offset and the transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis or simultaneously.
As at 31 December 2016, no financial instruments of the Master Fund are being presented net within the statement of financial condition.

8. Financial risk management and associated risk
Overall risk management
The Master Fund’s investment activities expose it to the various types of risk which are associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The most important types of financial risks to which the Master Fund is exposed are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Market risk includes price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. The Master Fund manages these risks on an aggregate basis along with the risks associated with its investing activities as part of its overall risk management policies.
The Master Fund has an agreement with FRM Investment Management (USA) LLC to act as risk manager. The Directors rely upon the Risk Manager to ensure that risks within the Master Fund are managed by the Investment Manager.
As a pre-requisite for investment, initial due diligence is performed by the Risk Manager to review the Investment Manager’s trading strategy, operational infrastructure and risk management environment. The Risk Manager then monitors the integrity of the Investment Manager’s operations on an ongoing basis.
The Risk Manager further monitors certain risk and performance measures of the Master Fund on a regular basis to seek to ensure that risks are managed by the Investment Manager and performance is in line with expectations and in accordance with any investment restrictions placed upon the Investment Manager. To this extent, the Risk Manager is given transparency on the positions and performance of the Investment Manager through trade files. Such measures include return breakouts, drawdowns, Value-at-Risk (“VaR”), and stress test losses.
The Risk Manager performs regular reviews of certain performance based measures against the Master Fund’s history of such measures and against that of the Investment Manager’s funds which implement similar strategies. If necessary, the Risk Manager requests that corrective action be taken by the Investment Manager.

For the year ended 31 December 2016
8. Financial risk management and associated risk (continued)
Overall risk management (continued)
The nature and extent of the financial instruments outstanding at the date of the statement of financial condition and the risk management policies employed by the Master Fund are discussed below.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market variables such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Master Fund is exposed to interest rate risk on cash or cash equivalents at bank, balances with brokers, balances due to brokers and certain derivative contracts.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Although the majority of the Master Fund’s assets are denominated in US$, the Master Fund may invest in financial instruments and hold cash balances at its brokers that are denominated in currencies other than its reporting currency, the US$. Consequently, the Master Fund is exposed to risks that the exchange rate of the US$ relative to other currencies may change in a manner which has an adverse effect on the reported value of that portion of the Master Fund’s assets which are denominated in currencies other than the US$.
Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the price of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market conditions influencing, directly or indirectly, the value of the financial instrument. The Master Fund is exposed to other price risk from its financial instruments. Due to the nature of the trading strategies followed by this Master Fund, no direct relationship between any market factors and the expected prices of the financial instruments can be reliably established. Other price risk is managed through the overall risk management processes described above.
Credit/Counterparty risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or counterparty will be unable to meet a commitment that it has entered into with the Master Fund.
The Master Fund’s maximum exposure to credit risk (not taking into account the value of any collateral or other security held) in the event that the counterparties fail to perform their obligations as at 31 December 2016 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets, other than derivatives, is the carrying amount of those assets in the statement of financial condition.
With respect to derivative financial instruments, credit risk arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meet their obligations under the contract or arrangement.
The Risk Manager has centralised its due diligence and monitoring process of prime brokerage and trading relationships through a dedicated prime brokerage and trading team employed by an affiliated company. Credit and counterparty risk is analysed by examining certain credit related criteria on a centralised basis across platforms by establishing risk tolerance levels in accordance with the overall risk profile of the prime broker/counterparty as determined by the Risk Manager. The credit quality of the Master Fund’s Bank, Brokers and any lenders at their parent companies level and subsidiaries when they are available is regularly monitored and factored into allocation decisions.
The exposures are to the Bank and to the Prime Brokers. As at the date of issuance of these financial statements, according to Moody’s Rating Agency, the credit rating of the Bank’s parent company, HSBC Holdings Plc, is A1 and the credit rating of UBS Warburg Ltd’s parent company UBS AG, is Ba1.
In addition, netting agreements and collateral arrangements (including International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements for over-the-counter derivatives) are routinely put in place when appropriate to allow the counterparty risk mitigating benefits of close-out netting and payment netting.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Master Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Redemption requests for Shares are the main liquidity risk for the Master Fund.
The Shares are redeemable as outlined in note 11. The exposure to liquidity risk through redemption requests for Shares is managed by specifically setting the redemption notice period to accommodate the expected liquidity of the underlying investments as agreed by the Investment Manager.
The majority of the Master Fund’s financial instruments are Level 1 financial instruments which are considered readily realisable as they are all listed on major recognised exchanges.
Campbell MAC Cayman Fund Limited
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2016
8. Financial risk management and associated risk (continued)
Liquiditiy risk (continued)
The Master Fund’s financial instruments also include investments in Level 2 financial instruments, which are not quoted in an active public market and which generally may be illiquid. As a result, the Master Fund may not be able to liquidate quickly some of its investments in these instruments at an amount close to their fair value in order to meet its liquidity requirements.
9. Fees, commissions and other expenses
Management and incentive fees
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement (the “IMA”) entered into between the Master Fund and the Investment Manager (the “IMA”), the Master Fund pays the Investment Manager (i) a management fee, calculated on daily basis, accrued on each valuation day and payable monthly in arrears, equal to 1/365 of the Applicable Management Fee Rate of the Master Fund’s Adjusted Trading Level, adjusted for profits and losses. The “Applicable Management Fee Rate” shall be (a) 1.50% where the Trading Level is less than US$50 million; (b) 1.25% where the Trading Level is equal to or greater than US$50 million; (c) 1.00% where the Trading Level is equal to or greater than US$100 million and (ii) the Incentive Fee, effective from 1 August 2015, payable on an annual basis in arrears, equal to the Applicable Incentive Fee Rate of any net appreciation during the twelve-month period. The “Applicable Incentive Fee Rate” shall be (a) 20% of any net appreciation where the Trading Level is less than US$75 million; and (b) 15% of any net appreciation where the Trading Level is equal to or greater than US$75 million; provided that no incentive fee shall be payable until losses in previous periods have been recouped. Incentive fees generally crystallise upon a Redeemable Participating Shareholder making a redemption from the Master Fund to the extent incentive fees are allocable at the time of the redemption. In addition, redemptions generally reduce any then-allocable losses that must be recouped by the Investment Manager for it to be entitled to incentive fees.
Risk management fees
Pursuant to the Risk Management Agreement entered into between the Master Fund and the Risk Manager, the Risk Manager is responsible for monitoring the trading and investments of the Master Fund’s assets by the investment manager and its compliance with the investment objectives and strategies of the Master Fund. FRM Investment Management (USA) LLC receives no separate remuneration from the Master Fund. Risk management fees are paid by the Feeder Funds.
Administration fees
The Master Fund pays the administrator of the Master Fund an administration fee of up to 0.135% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund.

13. Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Master Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Master Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Subsequent to 31 December 2016, investors redeemed Shares having an aggregate net asset value of US$9,095,795.
In connection with the preparation of the financial statements as at 31 December 2016, management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Master Fund through 23 March 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that there were no additional subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Campbell MAC Cayman Fund Limited at 31 December 2016, and the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
