NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.             SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The interim financial information at June 30, 2009 and for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 is unaudited.  However, in the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of BlackRock Global Horizons I L.P. (the “Partnership”) as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The operating results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the results for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Form 10-K”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “General Partner” or “BRIM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) is the general partner of the Partnership.

PFPC Trust Company (“PFPC Trust”), an affiliate of the General Partner, provides custody services for the Partnership. As of June 30, 2009 $178,419,153 was held in custody at PFPC Trust and invested in an affiliated BlackRock money market fund.  The Partnership’s assets will also be held in cash and customer segregated accounts at Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), Newedge USA, LLC (“NUSA”) and any other clearing brokers that may be utilized by the Partnership in the future (the “Clearing Brokers”) or allocated to one or more Portfolio Funds for which custodians and clearing are selected by the independent professional advisors of such Portfolio Funds or managed accounts (the “Trading Advisors”).

The Partnership has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash, money market funds and short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired.  Money market funds, which are included in cash equivalents, are classified as Level 1 valuation inputs (quoted prices in active markets for identical assets) under the provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”).

On January 1, 2009, Bank of America Corp. announced that it had completed its acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”), one of the largest shareholders of BlackRock, Inc.

The Partnership, in its normal course of business, enters into various derivatives contracts with MLPF&S and NUSA, each acting as the Partnership’s clearing brokers. Pursuant to the brokerage agreements with MLPF&S and NUSA (which include netting arrangements with each broker), to the extent that such trading results in receivables from and payables to MLPF&S and NUSA, these receivables and payables

5

are offset and reported as a net receivable or payable with each broker.  Net receivables are included in the Statements of Financial Condition under Equity in commodity futures trading accounts in net unrealized profit on open contracts and net payables are included under Liabilities in net unrealized loss on open contracts.

2.NET ASSET VALUE PER UNIT

Series I	763,546		588,607	$	1.2972
Total partners’ capital	$	228,085,926	164,471,111

3.FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Effective January 1, 2008, the Partnership adopted FAS 157. FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Partnership would receive upon selling an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. FAS 157 emphasizes that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk to the extent the asset or liability is not traded on an exchange or an active market.  Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Partnership. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the General Partner of the Partnership’s assumptions about what information market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

6

FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that classifies these inputs into the three broad levels listed below:

·Level 1 — Price quotations (unadjusted) in active markets/exchanges for identical instruments.

·Level 2 — Other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 includes quoted prices (unadjusted) for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as those used in models or other valuation methodologies.

·Level 3 — Primarily inputs and significant assumptions that are unobservable in the market place.  Level 3 assets include investments for which there is little, if any, market activity.  These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by the General Partner of the Partnership.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Partnership’s investments by the above FAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2009.

Valuation Inputs	Cash equivalents		Net unrealized profit (loss) on derivative contracts
Level 1 - Price quotations	$	178,419,153	$	891,299
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs	—		(134,882		)
	$	178,419,153	$	756,417

4.   DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Partnership trades in the international futures and forward markets with the objective of achieving, through speculative trading, substantial capital appreciation over time. The Partnership’s assets are allocated and reallocated by the General Partner to managed accounts managed by the Trading Advisors applying proprietary strategies in numerous markets.

The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of derivative contracts on interest rates, commodities, currencies, metals, energy, livestock and stock indices. The following were the primary trading risk exposures of such derivative contracts as of at June 30, 2009, organized by market sector:

Agricultural.  The Partnership’s primary exposure is to agricultural price movements, which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions.

Currencies.  Exchange rate risk is a principal market exposure of the Partnership.  The Partnership’s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs.  The fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions.  The Partnership trades in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates—e.g., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

Energy.  The Partnership’s primary energy market exposure is to gas and oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East and economic conditions worldwide.  Energy prices are volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.

7

Interest rates.  Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions.  Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries may materially impact the Partnership’s profitability.  The Partnership’s primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and other major industrialized, or Group of Seven countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom and United States, collectively, “G-7”).  However, the Partnership also may take positions in futures contracts on the government debt of other nations.  The General Partner anticipates that G-7 interest rates, both long-term and short-term, will remain the primary market exposure of the Partnership for the foreseeable future.

Metals. The Partnership’s metals market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of aluminum, copper, gold, lead, nickel, silver, tin and zinc.

Stock Indices.  The Partnership’s equity exposure, through stock index futures, is to equity price risk in the G-7 countries, as well as other countries.

The Partnership, through the trading activities of the Trading Advisors, also engages in the speculative trading of forward currency contracts. Substantially all of the Partnership’s off-exchange trading takes place in the highly liquid, institutional spot and forward foreign exchange markets (the “FX Markets”) where there are no direct execution costs. Instead, the participant banks and dealers in the FX Markets take a “spread” between the prices at which they are prepared to buy and sell a particular currency, and such spreads are built into the pricing of the spot or forward contracts traded with the Partnership. In its exchange of futures for physical (“EFP”) trading, the Partnership acquires cash currency positions through banks and dealers. The Partnership pays a spread when it exchanges these positions for futures. This spread reflects, in part, the different settlement dates of the cash and the futures contracts, as well as prevailing interest rates, but also includes a pricing spread in favor of the banks and dealers, which may include a Merrill Lynch entity.

The Partnership is exposed to both market risk, the risks arising from changes in the market value of the contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.

Market Risk

Derivative contracts involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet market risk.  Changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or the market values of the financial contracts or commodities underlying such derivative contracts frequently result in changes in the Partnership’s net unrealized profit (loss) on such derivative contracts as reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition.  The Partnership’s exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors, including the relationships among the derivative contracts held by the Partnership as well as the volatility and liquidity of the markets in which the derivative contracts are traded.  Investments in foreign markets may also entail legal and political risks.

BRIM has procedures in place intended to control market risk exposure, although there can be no assurance that they will, in fact, succeed in doing so.  These procedures focus primarily on monitoring the trading of the Trading Advisors, calculating the Net Asset Value of the Partnership as of the close of business on each day and reviewing outstanding positions, or reallocating Partnership assets among Trading Advisors (although typically only as of the end of a month) for over-concentrations.  While BRIM does not itself intervene in the markets to hedge or diversify the Partnership’s market exposure, BRIM may urge the Trading Advisors to reallocate positions in an attempt to avoid over-concentrations. 

8

Except in cases in which it appears that the Trading Advisors have begun to deviate from past practice or trading policies or to be trading erratically, BRIM’s basic risk control procedures consist simply of the ongoing process of Trading Advisor monitoring, with the market risk controls being applied by the Trading Advisors themselves.

Credit Risk

The credit risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are typically perceived to be less than those associated with over-the-counter (non-exchange-traded) transactions.  This is because exchanges typically (but not universally) have clearinghouse arrangements in which margin deposits, a clearing fund and collective credit (in some cases limited in amount, in some cases not) of the members of the clearinghouse are segregated and pledged to support the financial integrity of the contracts traded on the exchange. In over-the-counter transactions, on the other hand, traders must rely solely on the credit of their respective individual counterparties. Margins, which may be subject to loss in the event of a default, are generally required in exchange trading, and counterparties may also require margin in the over-the-counter markets.

The amount of required margin and good faith deposits with the brokers usually ranges from 5% to 30% of Net Asset Value.  The market value of cash and securities held to satisfy such requirements at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $16,230,558 and $10,090,467, respectively, which equals 6.70% and 4.42% of Net Asset Value, respectively.

The Partnership has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with financial institutions.  In the event of a financial institution’s insolvency, recovery of Partnership assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.

For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the contracts.  Theoretically, the Partnership 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.

The Partnership qualifies as an investment company under the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and therefore, all investments including derivatives are stated at fair value in the statements of financial condition, and changes in fair value are included in realized and unrealized trading profits and losses in the statements of operations.

9

The Partnership actually trades futures and forward contracts.  The level of trading is affected by conditions in those markets.  During the quarter  and six months ended June 30, 2009, 89,122 and 165,201 contracts were closed, respectively.  The fair value of the Partnership’s futures and forward contracts by type as of June 30, 2009 are as follows:

5.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“FAS 161”).  FAS 161 expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  FAS 161 specifically requires enhanced disclosures addressing: a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations and c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of FAS 161 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.  The disclosures required by FAS 161 are included in Note 4 to these financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP 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.  FSP No. 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.  FSP  No. 157-4 is effective for reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.   The adoption of FSP No. 157-4 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165 (“SFAS 165”), Subsequent Events, which establishes 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. SFAS 165 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

Performance Summary

January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009

January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009

The Partnership posted a net loss for the quarter, with early gains offset by losses late in the quarter.  The stock indices sector was the only profitable sector for the quarter, with the largest losses occurring in the interest rate sector.

Stock indices trading contributed to gains early in the quarter through short exposures to global markets. Broad-based equity declines impacted global markets in January and February on negative economic news and poor earnings.  However, investors experienced a sharp reversal and rally in March as they began to perceive stabilization in the global financial system after several months of uncertainty. Within this environment, short global equity exposures to the US, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan, proved to be beneficial as markets substantially declined early in the period. However, many of these short equity exposures detracted late in the quarter as the markets rallied on positive corporate earnings and government stimulus efforts.

Trading in energies was relatively flat over the first three months of the year, with slight profits early in the quarter roughly balanced by later losses. Oil prices hit cyclical lows in February, falling below $40/barrel for the first time since 2004 before rebounding to nearly $50/barrel by the end of March on signs that economic deterioration appears to be slowing. Demand for energy continued to slump, weighed by a decrease in economic activity driven by the global recession.  Natural gas prices were negatively impacted by falling demand from power producers and their industrial clientele.

Short exposures in the metals sector detracted slightly from performance for the quarter, with gains early in the quarter outweighed by March losses. Prices for industrial metals such as copper, lead and zinc, rallied in March from their earlier lows on hopes that government stimulus efforts would spark industrial production and reduce existing basic materials inventory levels. Precious metals prices also rose during the quarter, continuing to benefit from higher levels of market volatility and economic uncertainty, as well as latent fears over growing inflation after the economy recovers.

Trading in agricultural commodities detracted from performance despite a profitable month of February. In particular, short positions in corn and soybeans profited in February on speculation that demand for biofuels and animal feed would decline in the midst of the recession, and demand for cotton process fell based on a reduced demand for raw materials. However, prices broadly recovered in March as investors perceived better economic times ahead.  Coffee prices improved substantially over the course of the quarter, as investors anticipated a reduced supply from Central and South America.

12

Currency trading also detracted from performance for the quarter. Long exposures to Japanese yen and short exposures to the Euro contributed early in the quarter; however it was not enough to offset losses in the latter half of the quarter.  The foreign exchange markets were range-bound during February with declining volatility, resulting in a challenging environment for underlying managers with shorter holding periods. While demand for the U.S. dollar was strong early in the period due to high market uncertainty, late in the quarter, long U.S. dollar trades struggled following quantitative easing initiatives launched by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

The interest rate sector was the worst performing strategy for the quarter. Long U.S. treasury, Gilt, and German Bund exposures led losses, selling off despite a backdrop of stock market volatility, worsening economic conditions and regulatory uncertainty. March proved to be particularly challenging, with several government and central bank stimulus initiatives, including those by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the Swiss National Bank and the Bank of Japan, creating a challenging environment for systematic managers.

April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009

The Partnership posted a net loss for the quarter as mid-quarter gains were offset by losses early and late in the quarter. In general, Trading Advisors faced challenges as reduced volatility and shifting trends resulted in an environment with limited momentum to exploit. Overall, foreign exchange activity was the only positive contributor to gains in the currencies sector, with agriculture-based trades posting essentially flat returns. Amongst sectors producing losses for the quarter, the worst performer was interest rates, followed by energy, metals and stock indices.

While the currency sector was profitable overall, it was a complex trading environment. Many Trading Advisors started the period short select currencies, such as the Canadian dollar and the British pound. However, hopes for economic recovery and an accelerating slide in the U.S. dollar in April generated losses in these short positions early. Trade positioning quickly adjusted, and many Trading Advisors enjoyed substantial long-side gains in the Australian dollar and the Euro as the U.S. dollar experienced its sharpest monthly decline in years. However, the quarter ended with the U.S. dollar trading somewhat range-bound, creating a difficult backdrop for momentum-based strategies to profit, and leading Trading Advisors to sustain modest losses in June.

Trading in agricultural commodities also proved to be demanding, as Trading Advisors fought back from early losses to end the quarter nearly flat. April losses in long exposure to sugar were offset by later gains from a broad commodity price rally brought on by signs of improving global demand and a weakening U.S. dollar. On the short side, exposures to corn and wheat made back earlier losses as prices substantially declined on reports of increasing supplies and speculation that warm, wet weather would accelerate plant development. Meanwhile, short exposures to hogs contributed throughout the period as hog positions sold off over concerns about the H1N1 virus.

Trading in the interest rate sector struggled during the quarter, in large part due to improved market sentiment and the resulting flow of investor capital away from sovereign bonds and toward riskier assets. In particular, long exposures to Japanese government bonds, German Bunds and Gilts all declined during the period. Meanwhile, long exposure to short-term interest rates, especially in the Eurodollar, Euribor and Sterling, also detracted, adversely responding to the European Central Bank holding rates at a record low and higher-than-expected U.S. unemployment numbers. However, several underlying funds mitigated a portion of losses through trading long-term U.S. interest rates, which provided opportunities through both long and short exposures during the period.

13

Trading in energies also contributed to losses.  Short exposures to crude oil and heating oil in April and May drove energy trading losses, as upbeat economic news and declining inventory levels positively influenced underlying energy prices. Nonetheless, select funds profited from shorter-term tactical trades in natural gas, benefiting from short exposures in April as natural gas sold off to a 6-year low, followed by successfully trading the market through both short and long exposures as volatility increased later in the quarter.

Trading in metals also contributed to losses.  Metals saw mixed results during the quarter as long exposures to gold detracted in April and June but profited in May as investors sought inflation hedges given the sharply declining U.S. dollar. Conversely, industrial metals such as aluminum and nickel trades were profitable in April, rallying on improved economic recovery prospects. However, as market rallies extended throughout the quarter, Trading Advisors increased select short positions. Aluminum short exposures were among those that took a substantial hit as the commodity experienced its largest weekly gain in 21 years during June, contributing to an overall loss for the sector.

Trading in stock indices contributed the most to losses in the quarter.  Initial short exposures lost ground early, given broad market rallies across the globe. However, Trading Advisors reduced these positions quickly; increasing long exposures to the U.S. and holding more neutral exposures in select other markets.  While long holdings in the NASDAQ and Russell indices added overall gains as global indices continued to improve throughout the quarter on strengthening sentiment, short hedges to the Dow Jones Eurostoxx, Hang Seng and FTSE indices outweighed gains, driving an overall decline for the strategy during the quarter.

January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008

January 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008

The Partnership had a profitable quarter, particularly from record moves across markets in January and February.  The currencies sector was the strongest sector for the quarter, followed by the interest rates, agricultural commodities, stock indices, energies, and the metals sectors.

The currency sector was the strongest performing sector for the Partnership. Long exposures to the Euro, Swiss Franc, and Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar contributed to profits.  The U.S. dollar posted its biggest quarterly loss against the Euro in almost four years due to the dispersion in Central Bank policies.  Specifically, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut its target lending rate by 75 basis points, the most since 1984, in an attempt to revive the economy while the European Central Bank held borrowing costs at a six-year high to contain inflation.  Also during March, the U.S. dollar fell below 96 Japanese yen for the first time in 12 years after the U.S. Federal Reserve made its first weekend change in borrowing costs since 1979.

Trading in interest rates also contributed significantly to profits.  Long exposures to U.S. treasuries, Eurodollars, and German bunds during January and February contributed to gains as mounting losses in credit markets and the slowing U.S. economy drove investors to the relative safety of government debt.

Trading in agricultural commodities posted gains as well, despite losses posted late in the quarter.  Long exposures to wheat, soybeans, and corn drove performance on speculation that surging Chinese demand for food, animal feeds, and bio-fuels will reduce U.S. inventories.  Although markets retreated in March from record levels that were reached earlier in the quarter, the sector was profitable overall.

14

Trading in stock indices was profitable throughout the quarter. Short exposures to equity indices including the S&P, Nikkei, and FTSE contributed to performance for the quarter.  For the quarter, the S&P declined over - -9%, the Nikkei -17.5%, and the FTSE over -10%.

Trading in energies also contributed despite losses early on in the quarter.  Long exposures to crude oil, heating oil, and natural gas drove performance in the energy sector.  In March, crude oil rose to a record $111 a barrel, pushing through what had been the previous inflation-adjusted record of $103.59 set in the 1980s, as the sinking value of the U.S. dollar attracted investors to commodity markets.

Trading in metals also contributed.  Long exposures to gold and silver contributed to performance on increased demand for the metals as a hedge against inflation.  For the quarter, gold rallied over +9%, surging to over $1,000 an ounce mid March, and silver rallied almost +17%.

April 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008

The Partnership had a profitable quarter, particularly due to strong performance in May and June as trends in Energy and Stock indices continued. The energy sector was the strongest sector for the quarter, followed by the stock indices and agricultural commodities.  Losses were posted in the metals, currencies and interest rates sectors.

Trading in the energy sector was the leading sector through long exposures to crude oil, heating oil and natural gas which contributed to profitability each month during the quarter as the energy sector continued to reach new highs.  During April, the continued rally of crude oil, reaching a record of $119.93 a barrel intra month, benefited from long exposures to the energy sector held by most Trading Advisors. The sector posted positive results in May, again on a continuation of the strong trends evident in the energy markets.  Crude oil futures reached $135.09 in May, the highest price since trading began, on continued high demand levels, supply constraints, and financial analysts high price outlooks.  Trading Advisors continued to hold long exposures to energy markets.  However, the Trading Advisors had reduced the size of such exposures as profit targets were hit and volatility became heightened. Long exposures to crude oil, heating oil, and natural gas continued to result in positive performance for the energy sector at quarter end.  Crude oil prices reached a record high of $140 a barrel in June, spurred by news that Libya was studying the possibility of a production cut in response to U.S. threats against oil producers and a weaker U.S. dollar.

Trading in stock indices was profitable for the quarter, despite losses early in the quarter.  The sector was the largest detraction from performance in April.  While equity markets rallied over April, the reduction of volatility as exemplified by the -18.82% decline in the VIX (the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index), made it difficult for Trading Advisors to build positions.  In June, the stock indices sector was the strongest sector through short exposures.  During June, U.S. stocks tumbled, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its worst June since the Great Depression, as a result of record oil prices, credit-market write downs and a slowing economy.  German stocks dropped to the lowest in three months as concern deepened that slowing economic growth will curb companies’ earnings.

Trading in agricultural commodities also contributed to performance during the quarter due to long exposures to agricultural commodities.  Mid-quarter, trading in agricultural commodities was a bit more mixed depending on manager positioning.  In June long exposures to corn and soybeans led performance as corn gained over 20% and soybeans over 17% on speculation that more rain and flooding in the U.S. Midwest may hurt crops, and as demand for commodities increased as an inflationary hedge.

15

Trading in metals slightly detracted from performance for the quarter.  Trading in metals, namely short exposures to aluminum, copper, and gold detracted from performance.

The currency sector posted losses for the Partnership, especially early in the quarter.  The U.S. dollar declined the first two weeks of the month compared against most major currencies, but experienced sharp reversals the second half of the month, particularly against the Euro, Swiss franc, and Japanese yen.  Short exposures to the Great Britain Pound (“GBP”) and long exposures to the Euro versus the U.S. dollar detracted.  The GBP ended the month down slightly versus the U.S. dollar, however, rallied the second half of the month and detracted from Trading Advisors’ increased short holdings.  The Euro declined 0.44% versus the U.S. dollar for the month after strengthening on surging crude oil prices, before selling off the last week of May on increased durable goods orders and revised 1st quarter gross domestic product.

Trading in interest rates was the largest detraction from performance, primarily from long exposures to Eurodollars, U.S. treasuries, and Japanese government bonds held during April.  The instruments detracted as continued inflation concerns in Europe and Japan reduced the demand for government debt and, in the case of the European Central Bank, prevented rate cuts.
