Item 8.01. Other Events.
Commencing on September 20, 2016, each of Equinox Frontier Diversified Fund, Equinox Frontier Long/Short Commodity Fund, Equinox Frontier Masters Fund, Equinox Frontier Balanced Fund, Equinox Frontier Heritage Fund, Equinox Frontier Select Fund and Equinox Frontier Winton Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) obtained exposure to the Quest Fixed Income Tracker Index Program (“QFIT”) of Quest Partners, LLC, which no longer advises Frontier Trading Company XXXVIII, LLC (“Trading Company XXXVIII”). Each Fund will have exposure to QFIT through Trading Company XXXVIII’s investment in the Galaxy Plus Fund – Quest FIT Feeder Fund (531) LLC (“Quest FIT Feeder Fund”) which is advised by Quest Partners, LLC. The Quest FIT Feeder Fund is a commodity pool available to the Funds and other investors through the GalaxyPlus Managed Account Platform, which is an unaffiliated, third-party managed account platform sponsored and operated by Gemini Alternative Funds, LLC.
Please note that QFIT is not an investment program, but a cash management overlay. The use of QFIT is not expected to materially alter the investment objective of any Fund, nor does the QFIT overlay alter the basic allocation to the commodity trading advisor trading programs that each Fund has historically utilized.
