WORLD MONITOR TRUST--SERIES B
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Interest Holder:
Enclosed is the report for the period from August 31, 2002 to September 27, 2002
for the World Monitor Trust--Series B ('Series B'). The net asset value of an
interest as of September 27, 2002 was $127.40, an increase of 2.67% from the
August 30, 2002 value of $124.09. The calendar year-to-date return for Series B
was an increase of 17.34% as of September 27, 2002. Additionally, the return for
the period from June 29, 2002 to September 27, 2002 was an increase of 9.83%.
Quarterly Market Overview
Throughout the third quarter of 2002, household wealth continued to decrease as
the result of pervasive declines in global equity markets and uncertainty
regarding worldwide economies. As a result, U.S. consumer spending, which helped
boost U.S. economic growth in the past, was adversely impacted. Additionally,
the higher cost of equity capital, heightened degree of risk aversion and
uncertainty regarding debt and equity markets further inhibited consumer and
business investment worldwide. In the U.S., decreasing wealth stemming from
losses on equities were offset, in part, by continuing increases in home equity
values. Low mortgage interest rates remained a key factor in sustaining the
housing market at a relatively elevated level. Fears of slowing global economies
resulted in major declines in long-term interest rates and bond markets surged.
Foreign economies followed the lead of the U.S. with persistent weakness evident
in European, Asian and Latin American economies, particularly in Japan and
Brazil.
In the interest rate sector, negative economic news throughout the quarter
coupled with significant downturns in world equity markets and disappointing
corporate profits caused a flight to quality into bond markets around the world.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank left interest rates unchanged at 1.75% in its two
meetings this quarter, switching its economic outlook for the near future from
'uncertain' to a bias toward 'economic weakness'. The European Central Bank left
short-term interest rates unchanged as well. The Japanese bond market was
particularly strong as the Japanese economy continued to struggle with recession
and investors fled to bonds for safety.
The S&P 500 fell 17.63%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 17.87% and
the London FTSE dropped 20.07% for the quarter as investor confidence collapsed
in response to continued concerns about accounting transparency, government
investigations, heightened tension in the Middle East, and decreased corporate
sales and profits. In Japan, the Nikkei Index hit new lows as the economy
continued to struggle with structural problems and the Japanese government
prepared new fiscal policy initiatives.
In foreign exchange markets, the U.S. dollar began the quarter down against many
foreign currencies, but reversed its trend towards quarter-end. The euro
surpassed parity with the U.S. dollar early in the quarter as investors' desire
for U.S. assets decreased, but ended the quarter lower. The British pound rose
against the U.S. dollar early in the quarter amid perceived strength in the
British economy, while the Japanese yen weakened as worries regarding the
Japanese economy persisted.
Energy markets continued their upward climb as fears of impending war with Iraq
pushed crude oil prices up significantly. Crude oil rose from the low $20's per
barrel earlier in the year to approximately $30 a barrel at quarter-end.
Gold and other precious metals soared throughout most of the quarter in response
to weaknesses in the U.S. dollar and global equity markets and instability in
the Middle East. In commodities markets, drought in the Mid-Western United
States drove price increases in corn, wheat and soybean markets. Cocoa prices
soared as supply deficits and violence in the Ivory Coast pushed the markets to
sixteen-year highs.
Quarterly Performance of Series B
The following is a summary of performance for the major sectors in which Series
B traded:
Interest rates (+): Interest rate instruments rose throughout the quarter in
response to weak economies and poor equity market performance worldwide. Long
positions in U.S., European and Japanese bonds resulted in gains.
Indices (+): Short positions in the S&P 500, Euro DAX and NASDAQ resulted in
gains as weak economic data and disappointing earning reports pressed global
equity markets downward throughout the quarter.
Energies (+): Energy prices rallied amid speculation of imminent war with Iraq
and seasonal demand pressure. Long natural gas positions resulted in gains.
Currencies (-): The U.S. dollar reversed its downward trend against many
foreign currencies toward quarter-end resulting in losses for long euro,
Japanese yen, Swiss franc and Australian dollar positions.
Metals (-): Weak economic conditions caused price declines in industrial metals
resulting in losses for long copper positions. Short gold positions incurred
losses as precious metal prices rose in response to uncertainty in the Middle
East and the weak global economy.
The estimated net asset value per interest as of October 30, 2002 was $117.55.
