CAMPBELL GLOBAL TREND FUND, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2012 (Unaudited) |
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. General Description of the Fund
Campbell Global Trend Fund, L.P. (the "Fund") was formed as a Delaware series limited partnership pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Act") on December 1, 2009. The Fund operates as a commodity investment pool and engages in the speculative trading of futures and forward currency contracts.
The Global Trend Fund seeks appreciation through trading a diversified portfolio of global futures and currencies pursuant to both traditional trend following and factor based trend following models. The Fund consists of five classes of limited partnership Units: Class A Units, Class B Units, Class C Units, Class D Units and Class E Units. Only Class A Units, Class B Units, Class C Units and Class D Units will be offered. Class E Units are not being offered for sale but will be issued in exchange for Class A Units, Class B Units, Class C Units and Class D Units in certain circumstances.
The Fund was initially comprised of two series - the Global Trend Series (USD) and the Global Trend Series (GLD). On April 6, 2010, the Fund was seeded with $1,000 each in Class A (USD), Class B (USD), Class C (USD), Class D (USD), Class A (GLD) and Class B (GLD). These amounts were redeemed before the Fund began trading on June 1, 2010. The Global Trend Series (GLD) did not commence trading. On March 18, 2011, the Fund filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to merge the Global Trend Series (GLD) into the Global Trend Series (USD). The registration became effective on May 2, 2011.
B. Regulation
As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Fund is subject to the regulatory requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a commodity investment pool, the Fund is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the United States (U.S.) government which regulates most aspects of the commodity futures industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization; and the requirements of the various commodity exchanges where the Fund executes transactions. Additionally, the Fund is subject to the requirements of futures commission merchants (the "brokers") and interbank market makers through which the Fund trades.
C. Method of Reporting
The Fund's financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of certain estimates made by the Fund's management. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and fair value) are reported in the Statement of Financial Condition as a net gain or loss, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 210-20, "Offsetting - Balance Sheet." The fair value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is based on by the various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of forward currency (non-exchange traded) contracts was extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period.
For purposes of both financial reporting and calculation of redemption value, Net Asset Value per unit is calculated by dividing Net Asset Value by the number of outstanding units.
The Fund adopted the provisions of ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." ("ASC 820") provides guidance for determining fair value and requires increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820 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 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The value of the Fund's exchange-traded futures contracts fall into this category.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This category includes forward currency contracts that the Fund values using models or other valuation methodologies derived from observable market data. This category aslo included fixed income investments.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability (including the Fund's own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments). Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. As of and for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Fund did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-06 ("ASU 2010-06") for improving disclosure about fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 adds new disclosure requirements about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). It also clarifies existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disaggregation for fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As of January 1, 2010, the Fund adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-06 except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which were adopted as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
CAMPBELL GLOBAL TREND FUND, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 ("ASU 2011-04") to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 explains how to measure fair value. It does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. As of January 1, 2012, the Fund adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-04. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have not had a material impact on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Fund's investments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

D. Income Taxes
The Fund will prepare calendar year U.S. federal and applicable state tax returns and report to the partners their allocable shares of the Fund’s income, expenses and trading gains or losses. No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements as each partner is individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on such partner’s respective share of the Fund’s income and expenses as reported for income tax purposes.
Management has continued to evaluate the application of ASC 740, "Income Taxes", to the Fund, and has determined that no reserves for uncertain tax positions were required. There are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. The 2011 and 2010 tax years generally remain subject to the examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.
E. Organization and Initial Offering Costs
Organization and initial offering costs were advanced by Campbell & Company, Inc. ("Campbell & Company"), the general partner. In addition, the general partner will incur all costs in connection with the continuous offering of units of the Fund. Each Class of Units, excluding Class E, will be charged a monthly rate of 1/12 of 0.5% (0.5% annualized) of each Class of Units’ month-end net asset value (as defined in the Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership) until such amounts are fully reimbursed to the general partner. The reimbursement is limited to 2.5% of the total subscriptions accepted by the Fund. The Fund will only be liable for payment of offering costs on a monthly basis.
If the Fund terminates prior to completion of payment of such amounts to Campbell & Company, Campbell & Company will not be entitled to any additional payments and the Fund will have no further obligation. Organizational costs will be charged to expense as incurred and offering costs will be charged directly to partners’ capital. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amount of unreimbursed offering costs incurred by Campbell & Company is $663,249 and $650,763, respectively.

F. Foreign Currency Transactions
The Fund's functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the Statements of Financial Condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in income.
G. Allocations
Income or loss for the Fund (prior to calculation of the advisory fee, general partner fee, organization and offering costs, sales fee, broker-dealer custody fee and performance fee) is allocated pro rata for each Class within the Fund. Each Class of Units is then charged the advisory fee, general partner fee, organization and offering costs, sales fee, broker-dealer custody fee and performance fee applicable to such Class of Units.
H. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210), "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which requires entities to disclose information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that have been offset or that subject to enforceable master netting agreements, to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of those agreements on its financial position. Entities will be required to provide both net (offset amounts) and gross information in the notes to the financial statements for relevant assets and liabilities that are offset or subject to the arrangements. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-11 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and an entity should provide the disclosures required by the amendments retrospectively for all comparable periods presented. The Fund is in the process of evaluating the disclosure requirements and any impact the new disclosures will have on its financial statements.
Note 2. GENERAL PARTNER AND TRADING ADVISOR
The general partner of the Fund is Campbell & Company, which conducts and manages the business of the Fund. Campbell & Company is also the trading advisor of the Fund. The Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership requires Campbell & Company to maintain a capital account in the Fund equal to 1% of the net aggregate capital contributions of all partners in the Fund or $25,000, whichever is greater. Additionally, Campbell & Company is required by the Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership to maintain a net worth so long as it acts as general partner equal to at least 5% of the capital contributed by all the limited partnerships for which it acts as general partner, including the Fund. The minimum required net worth shall in no case be less than $50,000 nor shall net worth in excess of $1,000,000 be required.
Each Class of Units will pay a monthly advisory fee of 1/12 of 2% (2% annualized) and a monthly general partner fee of 1/12 of 1% (1% annualized) of such Class’ month-end net assets to Campbell & Company.
Each Class of Units will pay Campbell & Company a quarterly performance fee equal to 20% of that Class of Units’ aggregate cumulative appreciation (as defined in the Fund's Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended) in the net asset value per Unit, exclusive of appreciation attributable to interest income allocable to such Class of Units, and as adjusted for subscriptions and redemptions, on a cumulative high water mark basis. In determining the performance fee, net assets shall not be reduced by the performance fee being calculated. The performance fee is paid only on profits attributable to each Class of Units outstanding. The performance fee is accrued monthly, paid quarterly and is not subject to any clawback provisions.
Note 3. SALES FEE
The Fund will pay the selling agents for Class A Units and Class B Units a sales fee of 2% of the subscription amount of each subscription for Class A Units and Class B Units. In addition, commencing thirteen months after the sale of Units and in return for providing ongoing services to the limited partners, the Fund will pay those selling agents (or their assignees) up to 1/12 of 2% (2% annually) of the month-end net asset value of Class A Units and Class B Units.
The amount paid to selling agents on Class A Units and Class B Units sold will not exceed 8% of the gross offering proceeds of the Class A Units and 9% of the gross offering proceeds of the Class B Units sold.
Note 4. DEPOSITS WITH FUTURES BROKER
The Fund deposits assets with a futures broker, Newedge USA, LLC, subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations and various exchange and futures broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of U.S. Treasury bills and cash with such futures broker. The Fund typically earns interest income on its assets deposited with the futures broker.
Note 5. DEPOSITS WITH INTERBANK MARKET MAKER
The Fund’s counterparty with regard to its forward currency transactions is The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC ("RBS"). The Fund has entered into an International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. agreement with RBS which governs these transactions. The credit ratings reported by the three major rating agencies for RBS were considered investment grade as of March 31, 2012. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of U.S. Treasury bills and cash with RBS. The Fund typically earns interest income on its assets deposited with RBS.
Note 6. BROKER-DEALER CUSTODY FEE
Class A Units and Class C Units will pay a monthly broker-dealer custodial fee of 1/12 of 0.25% (0.25% annually) of each respective Class’ month-end net asset value (as defined in the Fund's Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended) to the selling agents (the firm and not the individual). The total amount paid to the selling agents for such broker-dealer custodial fees per Unit will not exceed 1% of the gross offering proceeds of Class A Units and 6% of the gross offering proceeds of Class C Units.
Note 7. OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for each Class of Units in the Fund are restricted by the Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership to 0.50% per annum of the average month-end net asset value (as defined) of each Class of Units. Any operating expense which exceeds the 0.50% expense cap will be reimbursed by Campbell & Company. Actual operating expenses exceeded the cap for the year ended December 31, 2011 by $1,817 and is included in other assets on the Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2011. During the period ended March 31, 2012, Campbell & Company has reimbused the Fund for the operating expenses which exceeded the cap for the year ended December 31, 2011. For the period ended March 31, 2012, operating expenses did not exceed the cap.

Note 8. SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
Investments in the Fund are made by subscription agreement, subject to acceptance by Campbell & Company.
The Fund is not required to make distributions, but may do so at the sole discretion of Campbell & Company. A limited partner may request and receive redemption of units owned, subject to restrictions in the Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership. Units are transferable, but no market exists for their sale and none is expected to develop. Monthly redemptions are permitted upon ten (10) business days advance written notice to Campbell & Company.
Redemption fees paid to Campbell & Company apply to Class A Units and Class B Units through the first twelve month-ends following purchase as follows: 1.833% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the second month-end, 1.666% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the third month-end, 1.500% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the fourth month-end, 1.333% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the fifth month-end, 1.167% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the sixth month-end, 1.000% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the seventh month-end, 0.833% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the eighth month-end, 0.667% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the ninth month-end, 0.500% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the tenth month-end, 0.333% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the eleventh month-end, 0.167% of net asset value per redeemed Unit through the twelfth month-end. The month-end as of which the Unit is purchased is counted as the first month-end. After the twelfth month-end following purchase of a Class A Unit or Class B Unit, no redemption fees apply.
Note 9. TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS
The Fund engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts and forward currency contracts (collectively, "derivatives"). Specifically, the Fund trades a portfolio focused on financial futures, which are instruments designed to hedge or speculate on changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates or stock index values, as well as metals, energy and agriculture values. The Fund is exposed to both market risk, the risk arising from changes in the fair value of the contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.
Purchase and sale of futures contracts requires margin deposits with the futures broker. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a futures broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such futures broker's proprietary activities. A customer's cash and other property (for example, U.S. Treasury bills) deposited with a futures broker are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the futures broker's segregation requirements. In the event of a futures broker's insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than total cash and other property deposited.
The amount of required margin and good faith deposits with the futures broker and interbank market makers usually range from 10% to 30% of Net Asset Value. The cash deposited with interbank market makers at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $496,569 and $139,944, respectively, which equals 3% and 1% of Net Asset Value, respectively. These amounts are included in cash. Included in cash deposits with the futures broker and interbank market maker at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was restricted cash for margin requirements of $2,313,987 and $1,887,062 respectively, which equals 12% and 10% of Net Asset Value respectively.
The Fund trades forward currency contracts in unregulated markets between principals and assumes the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. Accordingly, the risks associated with forward currency contracts are generally greater than those associated with exchange traded contracts because of the greater risk of counterparty default. Additionally, the trading of forward currency contracts typically involves delayed cash settlement.
The Fund has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with financial institutions. In the event of a financial institution's insolvency, recovery of Fund assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.
For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the fair value of the contracts. Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Fund's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Fund's market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of exchange rates, interest rates, equity price levels, the fair value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Fund's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades. Theoretically, the Fund is exposed to a market risk equal to the notional contract value of futures and forward currency contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short. See Note 1. C. for an explanation of how the Fund determines its valuation for derivatives as well as the netting of derivatives.
The fair value of the Fund's derivatives by instrument type, as well as the location of those instruments on the Statements of Financial Condition, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the monthly average of futures contracts bought and sold was approximately 1,875 and 930, respectively, and the monthly average of notional value of forward currency contracts was $67,400,000 and $51,270,000, respectively.
Open contracts generally mature within twelve months; as of March 31, 2012, the latest maturity date for open futures contracts is September 2014 and the latest maturity date for open forward currency contracts is June 2012. However, the Fund intends to close all futures and foreign currency contracts prior to maturity.
Campbell & Company has established procedures to actively monitor market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. Campbell & Company's basic market risk control procedures consist of continuously monitoring open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio that rarely exceeds 30%. Campbell & Company's attempt to manage the risk of the Fund's open positions is essentially the same in all market categories traded. Campbell & Company applies risk management policies to its trading which generally limit the total exposure that may be taken per "risk unit" of assets under management. In addition, Campbell & Company follows diversification guidelines (often formulated in terms of the balanced volatility between markets and correlated groups), as well as reducing position sizes dynamically in response to trading losses. Campbell & Company controls the risk of the Fund's non-trading fixed income instruments by limiting the duration of such instruments and requiring a minimum credit quality of the issuers of those instruments.
Campbell & Company seeks to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and maintaining the Fund's assets at financial institutions and brokers which Campbell & Company believes to be credit worthy. The limited partners bears the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.
Note 10. INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. 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. The Fund expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.
Note 11. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The statements of financial condition, including the condensed schedules of investments, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the statements of operations, cash flows, changes in Partners' capital (Net Asset Value) and financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments, which were of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of March 31, 2012, and the results of operations, cash flows, changes in Partners' capital (Net Asset Value) and financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
Note 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management of the Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were filed. Effective April 1, 2012, the Agreement of Limited Partnership between the Fund and Campbell & Company was amended to remove the 1% general partner fee. There are no additional subsequent events to disclose to the financial statements.
