PART ONE -- DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT
QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P. SERIES A AND SERIES B
$200,000,000
UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
THE OFFERING
Quadriga Superfund, L.P. is offering two separate series of limited
partnership units, designated Series A and Series B, in an aggregate offering
amount of up to $200,000,000 for both Series A and Series B together. The two
Series will be traded and managed the same way except for the degree of
leverage. The assets of each Series will be segregated from the other Series and
each Series will be offered separately.
The Units of each Series will be offered at a price of $1,000 per unit for
the initial closing, and at net asset value per unit thereafter. Units will be
available on the last day of each month. No up-front underwriting discount or
commission will be taken. The selling agents will use their best efforts to sell
the Units offered. The offering will be conducted on a continuous basis until
all Units have been sold.
THE RISKS
These are speculative securities. BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHETHER TO INVEST, READ
THIS ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY AND CONSIDER "THE RISKS YOU FACE" ON PAGE 7.
- Each Series is speculative and is leveraged from time to time.
- Performance can be volatile and the net asset value per unit may
fluctuate significantly in a single month.
- You could lose all or substantially all of your investment in each
Series.
- Quadriga Capital Management has total trading authority over each Series.
The use of a single advisor could mean lack of diversification and,
consequently, higher risk.
- There is no secondary market for the Units, and none is expected to
develop. While the Units have redemption rights, there are restrictions.
For example, redemptions can occur only at the end of a month. See
"Distributions and Redemptions."
- Transfers of interest in the Units are subject to limitations, such as 30
days' advance written notice of any intent to transfer. Also, Quadriga
Capital Management may deny a request to transfer if it determines that
the transfer may result in adverse legal or tax consequences for a
Series. See "Limited Partnership Agreement."
- Substantial expenses must be offset by trading profits and interest
income for each Series to be profitable.
- No U.S. regulatory authority or exchange has the power to compel the
enforcement of the rules of a foreign board of trade or any applicable
foreign laws.
---------------------
Investors are required to make representations and warranties in connection
with their investment. Each investor is encouraged to discuss the investment
with his/her individual financial and tax adviser.

SUMMARY
GENERAL
Quadriga Superfund, L.P. is offering two separate series of limited
partnership units: Quadriga Superfund, L.P. Series A and Quadriga Superfund,
L.P. Series B. Each Series trades speculatively in the U.S. and international
futures and equity markets. Specifically, each Series trades in a portfolio of
approximately 100 futures markets using a fully automated computerized trading
system developed by Christian Baha, President of Quadriga Capital Management,
Inc., a Grenada corporation and general partner of the Partnership and Christian
Halper, Chief Technology Officer of affiliates of Quadriga Capital Management.
This trading system is licensed to Quadriga Capital Management on a
non-exclusive basis. This system automatically initiates buy and sell trading
signals and monitors relevant risk factors on the markets traded in the United
States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia. Each Series' strategy is based on the
implementation of a four-point philosophy consisting of (i) market
diversification, (ii) technical analysis, (iii) trend-following, and (iv) money
management. Quadriga Capital Management may also formulate new approaches to
carry out the overall investment objective of each Series. Quadriga Capital
Management currently manages one private commodity pool and anticipates that it
will continue to manage the affairs of Quadriga Superfund once it commences
operations. Quadriga Capital Management also reserves the right to trade other
new pools and or funds.
The leverage and trading methodology employed with respect to Series A will
be the same as that for Quadriga AG, a private non-U.S. fund managed by Quadriga
Fund Management, Inc., an affiliate of Quadriga Capital Management. The leverage
and trading methodology employed with respect to Series B will be the same as
that for Quadriga Global Consolidated Trust USD, a private non-U.S. fund also
managed by Quadriga Fund Management. Series B will be leveraged approximately
1.5 times Series A. Performance information for both of these private funds is
shown beginning on page 15 of the Prospectus.
Each Series trades in approximately 100 futures markets globally, including
both commodity and financial futures. The approximate allocation between Sectors
is: currencies, 18%; livestock, 5%; agricultural, 10%; metals, 10%; interest
rate, 12%; energy, 13%; stock indices, 18%; and grains, 14%. Each Series will
emphasize instruments with low correlation and high liquidity for order
execution.
The proprietary software technology embodied in the Quadriga Capital
Management's trading system examines a broad array of investments around the
world to identify possible opportunities that fit within the Quadriga Capital
Management's narrow selection criteria. This methodology primarily uses
trend-following technical trading strategies. The duration of these trends vary
from days to months. The technology isolates market patterns that offer high
reward to risk potential based on historical data. Once potential trades are
identified, the system applies additional filters with respect to trend and
volatility analysis. Finally, prior to generating definite buy or sell signals,
the program takes in consideration macro variables such as overall risk capital
and portfolio volatility. All transactions are then executed using a fully
automated computerized system. While it is anticipated that each Series will
invest primarily in global futures and equities, each Series has broad and
flexible investment authority. Accordingly, each Series' assets may at any time
include long or short positions in U.S. or foreign publicly traded or privately
issued common stocks, preferred stocks, stock warrants and rights, corporate
debt, bonds, notes or other debentures, convertible securities, swaps, options,
futures contracts and other derivative instruments. Additionally, Quadriga
Capital Management may utilize leverage to both enhance performance and hedge
positions.
The following summary provides a review in outline form of certain
important aspects of an investment in each Series.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
HOW TO SUBSCRIBE FOR UNITS
- Investors must submit subscriptions at least five business days prior to
the applicable month-end closing date. Approved subscriptions will be
accepted once payments are received and cleared at the applicable
month-end net asset value for the respective Series.
1
- Each Series will accept subscriptions throughout the continuing offering
period, which can be terminated by Quadriga Capital Management at any
time. Quadriga Capital Management has no present intention to terminate
the offering.
- Interest earned while subscriptions are being processed will either be
paid to subscribers in the form of additional Units or will be returned
in cash to those whose applications are rejected.
- The selling agents will use their best efforts to sell the Units offered,
without any firm underwriting commitment. Quadriga Capital Management is
also offering Units directly to potential investors by distributing this
Prospectus and making it available on a special internet website
(http://www.superfund.com). Quadriga Capital Management intends to engage
in marketing efforts through media including but not limited to third
party websites, newspapers, magazines, other periodicals, television,
radio, seminars, conferences, workshops, and sporting and charity events.
Investors are required to make representations and warranties regarding
their suitability to purchase the Units in the Subscription Agreement and
Power of Attorney. Read the Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney
as well as this Prospectus carefully before you decide whether to invest.
WHO MAY INVEST IN EACH SERIES
Minimum initial investment is $5,000 per Series. Persons that become
limited partners by holding Units in a particular Series may make additional
investments in that same Series of at least $1,000.
IS THE QUADRIGA SUPERFUND A SUITABLE INVESTMENT FOR YOU?
An investment in each Series is speculative and involves a high degree of
risk. Each Series is not a complete investment program. Quadriga Capital
Management offers each Series as a diversification opportunity for an investor's
entire investment portfolio, and therefore an investment in each Series should
only be a limited portion of the investor's portfolio. You must, at a minimum,
have:
(1) a net worth of at least $150,000, exclusive of home, furnishings
and automobiles; or
(2) a net worth, similarly calculated, of at least $45,000 and an
annual gross income of at least $45,000.
A number of jurisdictions in which the Units are offered impose higher
minimum suitability standards on prospective investors. These suitability
standards are, in each case, regulatory minimums only, and merely because you
meet such standards does not mean that an investment in the Units is suitable
for you. YOU MAY NOT INVEST MORE THAN 10% OF YOUR NET WORTH, EXCLUSIVE OF HOME,
FURNISHINGS AND AUTOMOBILES, IN THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP.
RISK FACTORS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN EITHER SERIES
- Each Series is a highly volatile and speculative investment. There can be
no assurance that each Series will achieve its objectives or avoid
substantial losses. You must be prepared to lose all or substantially all
of your investment.
- For every gain made in a futures, forward or swap transaction, the
opposing side of that transaction will have an equal and offsetting loss.
Quadriga Capital Management has from time to time in the past incurred
losses in trading on behalf of its clients. Quadriga Capital Management
expects that performance for each Series may be volatile. Although
investments managed by Quadriga Capital Management have produced profits
in the past, it is anticipated that each Series will likely experience
drawdowns in the future.
- Each Series trades in futures and forward contracts. Therefore, each
Series is a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance
sheet market risk, including market volatility and possible illiquidity.
There is also a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet
its obligations to each Series.
2
- There is presently no secondary market for Units of each Series and it is
not anticipated that any such market will develop.
- Each Series is subject to numerous conflicts of interest including the
following:
(1) Quadriga Capital Management is both the general partner and
trading advisor of each Series and its fees and services have not been
negotiated at arm's length;
(2) Quadriga Capital Management, each Series' clearing brokers and
their respective principals and affiliates, may trade in the futures and
forward markets for their own accounts and may take positions opposite or
ahead of those taken for each Series. For the same reasons, Quadriga
Capital Management has a disincentive to add or replace advisors, even if
doing so may be in the best interests of each Series; and
(3) Quadriga Capital Management presently operates one other commodity
pool and its principals are not obligated to devote any minimum amount of
time to Quadriga Superfund.
- Limited Partners take no part in the management of each Series and
although Quadriga Capital Management is an experienced professional
manager, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future
results.
- Quadriga Capital Management will be paid a monthly management fee of
1/12 of 1.85% of the monthly net asset value (1.85% annually) for each
Series, regardless of profitability. Quadriga Capital Management will
also be paid monthly performance fees equal to 25% of aggregate
cumulative net appreciation of each Series above its previous highest
value, excluding interest income, in net asset value, if any.
- Each Series is a single-advisor fund which may be inherently more
volatile than multi-advisor managed futures products.
- Although each Series is liquid compared to other "alternative"
investments such as real estate or venture capital, liquidity is
restricted, as the Units may only be redeemed on a monthly basis, upon
ten business days' written notice. You may transfer or assign your Units
after 30 days' advance notice, and only with the consent of Quadriga
Capital Management which may not be given if such transfer may result in
adverse legal or tax consequences for a Series.
- Even though each Series does not intend to make distributions, you will
be liable for taxes on your share of the Series which you invest trading
profits and other income. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, if the
Series in which you invest has taxable income for any year, that income
will be taxable to you in accordance with your allocable share of income
from the Series in which you invest even though Quadriga Capital
Management does not presently intend to make distributions from either
Series.
INVESTMENT FACTORS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN EITHER SERIES
- Each Series is a leveraged investment fund managed by an experienced,
professional trading advisor and it trades in a wide range of futures and
forward markets.
- Quadriga Capital Management utilizes a proprietary, fully systematic
trading system for each Series.
- Each Series has the potential to help diversify traditional securities
portfolios. A diverse portfolio consisting of assets that perform in an
unrelated manner, or non-correlated assets, may increase overall return
and/or reduce the volatility (a primary measure of risk) of a portfolio.
However, non-correlation will not provide any diversification advantages
unless the non-correlated assets are outperforming other portfolio
assets, and there is no guarantee that each Series will outperform other
sectors of an investor's portfolio or not produce losses. Each Series'
profitability also depends on the success of Quadriga Capital Management
trading techniques. If each Series is unprofitable, then it will not
increase the return on an investor's portfolio or achieve its
diversification objectives.
3
- Investors in each Series get the advantage of limited liability in highly
leveraged trading.
QUADRIGA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
Quadriga Capital Management, Inc., a Grenada corporation and the general
partner and trading advisor for each Series, administers each Series as well as
directs its trading. Affiliates of Quadriga Capital Management manage various
offshore investment funds with strategies substantially similar to that of each
Series.
CHARGES TO EACH SERIES
Each Series' charges are substantial and must be offset by trading gains
and interest income in order to avoid depletion of each Series' assets.
QUADRIGA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
- 1.85% annual management fee ( 1/12 of 1.85% payable monthly) for each
Series.
- 25% of new appreciation in each Series' net assets computed on a monthly
basis and excluding interest income and as adjusted for subscriptions and
redemptions.
- 1% of net assets in each Series per year ( 1/12 of 1% payable monthly)
for organization and offering expenses incurred in the initial and
continuous offering.
DEALERS AND OTHERS
- An annual selling commission of 4% of the proceeds of the offering for
each Series will be paid to Quadriga Asset Management, Inc. an affiliate
of Quadriga Capital Management, in monthly installments of 1/12 of 4% of
the month end net asset value of each Series.
- Operating expenses such as legal, auditing, administration, printing and
postage, up to a maximum of 0.15% of net assets per year of each Series
payable in monthly installments of 1/12 of 0.15% of the month end net
asset value of each Series.
- $25.00 per round-turn transaction for brokerage fees; for Units sold by
Quadriga Asset Management, a portion will be paid to the clearing broker
for execution and clearing costs, and the balance will paid to Quadriga
Asset Management.
- "Bid-ask" spreads and prime brokerage fees for off-exchange contracts.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
Each Series is intended to be a medium- to long-term, i.e., 3- to 5-year,
investment. 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' written notice to Quadriga Capital Management which may deny a
5
request to transfer if it determines that the transfer may result in adverse
legal or tax consequences for each Series but not a redemption request submitted
in good form and in a timely manner. Quadriga Capital Management does not intend
to make any distributions. Upon written request, an investment in either Series
may be exchanged for an investment in the other Series at the then applicable
respective net asset values of each Series.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX ASPECTS
In the opinion of Henderson & Lyman, counsel to Quadriga Superfund, will be
classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and will not be
considered a publicly-traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes. As such, whether or not Quadriga Capital Management has
distributed any cash to the Limited Partners, each Limited Partner must report
his or her allocable share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of each
Series and is individually liable for income tax on such share. To the extent
each Series invests in futures and other commodity contracts, gain or loss on
which will, depending on the contracts traded, constitute a mixture of: 1)
ordinary income or loss; and/or 2) capital gain or loss. Trading losses of each
Series, which will generally constitute capital losses, may only be available to
offset a limited amount of interest income allocated to the Limited Partners of
such Series. Although each Series treats the management fees and performance
fees paid to Quadriga Capital Management as ordinary expenses, such expenses may
be subject to restrictions on deductibility for federal income tax purposes or
be treated as non-deductible syndication costs by the Internal Revenue Service.

Futures Association and exchange fees. For Units sold by Quadriga Asset
Management, a portion of this commission will be paid to the clearing broker and
the balance will be paid to Quadriga Asset Management. Such brokerage
commissions are estimated to be approximately 3.75% for Series A and 5.63% for
Series B. In no instance will the total of all fees computed on a net asset
basis exceed 20% per annum for either Series A or Series B.
6
THE RISKS YOU FACE
MARKET RISKS
POSSIBLE TOTAL LOSS OF AN INVESTMENT IN EACH SERIES
Futures and forward contracts have a high degree of price variability and
are subject to occasional rapid and substantial changes. Consequently, you could
lose all or substantially all of your investment in each Series.
EACH SERIES WILL BE HIGHLY LEVERAGED
Because the amount of margin funds necessary to be deposited with a
clearing broker in order to enter into a futures or forward contract position is
typically about 2% to 10% of the total value of the contract, each Series will
be able to hold positions with face values equal to several times each Series'
net assets. The ratio of margin to equity for Series A is approximately 20% and
approximately 30% for Series B, but each Series can range from 10% to 50% due to
factors such as market volatility and changes in margin requirements. As a
result of this leveraging, even a small movement in the price of a contract can
cause major losses. Quadriga Capital Management will monitor the leverage of
each Series regularly but is not limited by the amount of leverage it may
employ, except that Series A will be leveraged less than Series B.
ILLIQUIDITY OF YOUR INVESTMENT
There is no secondary market for the Units. While the Units have redemption
rights, there are restrictions. For example, redemptions can occur only at the
end of a month. If a large number of redemption requests were to be received at
one time, each Series might have to liquidate positions to satisfy the requests.
Such a forced liquidation could adversely affect each Series and consequently
your investment. Transfers of the Units are subject to limitations, such as 30
days' advance written notice of any intent to transfer. Also, Quadriga Capital
Management may deny a request to transfer if it determines that the transfer may
result in adverse legal or tax consequences for each Series. See "Quadriga
Superfund, L.P. Limited Partnership Agreement -- Dispositions."
MARKET ILLIQUIDITY
Futures and forward positions cannot always be liquidated at the desired
price. It is difficult to execute a trade at a specific price when there is a
relatively small volume of buy and sell orders in a market. A market disruption,
such as when foreign governments may take or be subject to political actions
which disrupt the markets in their currency or major exports, can also make it
difficult to liquidate a position. Unexpected market illiquidity has caused
major losses in recent years in such sectors as emerging markets and mortgage-
backed securities. There can be no assurance that the same will not happen to
each Series at any time or from time to time. The large size of the positions
which Quadriga Capital Management anticipates acquiring for each Series
increases the risk of illiquidity by both making its positions more difficult to
liquidate and increasing the losses incurred while trying to do so.
FORWARD TRANSACTIONS ARE NOT REGULATED AND ARE SUBJECT TO CREDIT RISK
Each Series trades forward contracts in foreign currencies. Forward
contracts are typically traded through a dealer market which is dominated by
major money center banks and is not regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission. Thus, you do not receive the protection of CFTC regulation or the
statutory scheme of the Commodity Exchange Act in connection with this trading
activity by each Series. Also, each Series faces the risk of non-performance by
the counterparties to the forward contracts and such non-performance may cause
some or all of your gain to be unrealized.
NON-CORRELATED, NOT NEGATIVELY CORRELATED, PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE
Historically, managed futures have been generally non-correlated to the
performance of other asset classes such as stocks and bonds. Non-correlation
means that there is no statistically valid relationship between the past
performance of futures and forward contracts on the one hand and stocks or bonds
on the
7
other hand. Non-correlation should not be confused with negative correlation,
where the performance of two asset classes would be exactly opposite. Because of
this non-correlation, each Series cannot be expected to be automatically
profitable during unfavorable periods for the stock market, or vice versa. The
futures, forward and swap markets are fundamentally different from the
securities markets in that for every gain made in a futures, forward or swap
transaction, the opposing side of that transaction will have an equal and
off-setting loss. If each Series does not perform in a manner non-correlated
with the general financial markets or does not perform successfully, you will
obtain no diversification benefits by investing in the Units and each Series may
have no gains to offset your losses from other investments.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRADING
Cash foreign currency markets are substantially unregulated and price
movements in such markets are caused by many unpredictable factors including
general economic and financial conditions, governmental policies, national and
international political and economic events, and changes in interest rates. Such
factors combined with the lack of regulation could expose Quadriga Superfund to
significant losses which it might otherwise have avoided.
Positions in cash foreign currencies can be established using less margin
than is typical for futures contracts. Thus, a small movement in the price of
the underlying currency can result in a substantial price movement relative to
the margin deposit. In addition, cash foreign currencies are traded through a
dealer market and not on an exchange. This presents the risks of both
counterparty creditworthiness and possible default or bankruptcy by the
counterparty.
TRADING RISKS
QUADRIGA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT ANALYZES ONLY TECHNICAL MARKET DATA, NOT ANY
ECONOMIC FACTORS EXTERNAL TO MARKET PRICES
The trading systems that will be used by the General Partner for each
Series are technical, trend-following methods involving instruments that are not
historically correlated with each other. The profitability of trading under
these systems depends on, among other things, the occurrence of significant
price trends which are sustained movements, up or down, in futures and forward
prices. Such trends may not develop; there have been periods in the past without
price trends in certain markets. The likelihood of the Units being profitable
could be materially diminished during periods when events external to the
markets themselves have an important impact on prices. During such periods, the
General Partner's historic price analysis could establish positions on the wrong
side of the price movements caused by such events.
SPECULATIVE POSITION LIMITS MAY ALTER TRADING DECISIONS FOR EACH SERIES
The CFTC has established limits on the maximum net long or net short
positions which any person may hold or control in certain futures contracts.
Exchanges also have established such limits. All accounts controlled by the
General Partner, including the account of each Series, are combined for
speculative position limit purposes. If positions in those accounts were to
approach the level of the particular speculative position limit, such limits
could cause a modification of the General Partner's trading decisions for each
Series or force liquidation of certain futures positions.
INCREASE IN ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT MAY AFFECT TRADING DECISIONS
The more assets the General Partner manages, the more difficult it may be
for the Advisor to trade profitably because of the difficulty of trading larger
positions without adversely affecting prices and performance. Accordingly, such
increases in equity under management may require the General Partner to modify
its trading decisions for each Series which could have a detrimental effect on
your investment.
8
EACH SERIES' TRADING IS NOT TRANSPARENT
The General Partner makes each Series' trading decisions. While the General
Partner receives daily trade confirmations from the clearing broker, only a
Series' net trading results are reported to Limited Partners and only on a
monthly basis. Accordingly, an investment in each Series does not offer Limited
Partners the same transparency, i.e., an ability to review all investment
positions daily, that a personal trading account offers.
TAX RISKS
INVESTORS ARE TAXED BASED ON THEIR SHARE OF PROFITS IN EACH SERIES
Investors are taxed each year on their share of each Series' profits, if
any, irrespective of whether they redeem any Units or receive any cash
distributions from each Series. All performance information included in this
prospectus is presented on a pre-tax basis; investors who experience such
performance may have to redeem Units or pay the related taxes from other
sources.
TAX COULD BE DUE FROM INVESTORS ON THEIR SHARE OF EACH SERIES' ORDINARY INCOME
DESPITE OVERALL LOSSES
Investors may be required to pay tax on their allocable share of each
Series' ordinary income, which in the case of each Series is each Series'
interest income and gain on some foreign futures contracts, even though each
Series incurs overall losses. Capital losses can be used only to offset capital
gains and $3,000 of ordinary income each year. Consequently, if an investor were
allocated $5,000 of ordinary income and $10,000 of capital losses, the investor
would owe tax on $2,000 of ordinary income even though the investor would have a
$5,000 loss for the year. The $7,000 capital loss carry forward could be used in
subsequent years to offset capital gain and ordinary income, but subject to the
same annual limitation on its deductibility against ordinary income.
DEDUCTIBILITY OF BROKERAGE AND PERFORMANCE FEES
Although each Series treats the brokerage fees and performance fees paid
and other expenses of such Series as ordinary and necessary business expenses,
upon audit each Series may be required to treat such fees as "investment
advisory fees" if each Series' trading activities were determined to not
constitute a trade or business for tax purposes. If the expenses were investment
advisory expenses, a Limited Partner's tax liability would likely increase. In
addition, upon audit, a portion of the brokerage fees might be treated as a non-
deductible syndication cost or might be treated as a reduction in each Series'
capital gain or as an increase in each Series' capital loss. If the brokerage
fees were so treated, a Limited Partner's tax liability would likely increase.
OTHER RISKS
FEES AND COMMISSIONS ARE CHARGED REGARDLESS OF PROFITABILITY AND ARE SUBJECT
TO CHANGE
Each Series is subject to substantial charges payable irrespective of
profitability in addition to performance fees which are payable based on each
Series' profitability. Included in these charges are management, organization
and offering, and brokerage fees and operating expenses. On each Series' forward
trading, "bid-ask" spreads and prime brokerage fees are incorporated into the
pricing of each Series' forward and swap contracts, respectively, by the
counterparties in addition to the brokerage fees paid by each Series. It is not
possible to quantify the "bid-ask" spreads and prime brokerage fees paid by each
Series because each Series cannot determine the profit its counterparty is
making on its forward and swap transactions. Such spreads can at times be
significant. In addition, while currently not contemplated, the Quadriga
Superfund, L.P. Limited Partnership Agreement allows for changes to be made to
the brokerage fee and performance fee with respect to each Series upon sixty
days' notice to the Limited Partners of such Series.
9
FAILURE OF BROKERAGE FIRMS; DISCIPLINARY HISTORY OF CLEARING BROKERS
The Commodity Exchange Act requires a clearing broker to segregate all
funds received from customers from such broker's proprietary assets. If any of
the clearing brokers fails to do so, the assets of each Series might not be
fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the clearing broker.
Furthermore, in the event of any of the clearing broker's bankruptcy, each
Series could be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available
funds segregated on behalf of the clearing broker's combined customer accounts,
even though certain property specifically traceable to each Series (for example,
Treasury bills deposited by each Series with the clearing broker as margin) was
held by the clearing broker. The clearing brokers have been the subject of
certain regulatory and private causes of action in the past and may be again in
the future. Such actions could affect the ability of a clearing firm to conduct
its business. See "The Clearing Brokers." Furthermore, dealers in forward
contracts are not regulated by the Commodity Exchange Act and are not obligated
to segregate customer assets. As a result, you do not have such basic
protections in forward contracts.
INVESTORS MUST NOT RELY ON PAST PERFORMANCE OF QUADRIGA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT IN
DECIDING WHETHER TO BUY UNITS
The future performance of each Series is not predictable, and no assurance
can be given that each Series will perform successfully in the future. Past
performance of a trading program is not necessarily indicative of future
results.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Quadriga Capital Management has a conflict of interest because it acts as
the general partner and sole trading advisor for each Series. Since Quadriga
Capital Management acts as both trading advisor and general partner, it is very
unlikely that its advisory contract will be terminated by each Series. The fees
payable to Quadriga Capital Management were established by it and were not the
subject of arm's-length negotiation. Furthermore, the fact that Quadriga Asset
Management is an affiliate of Quadriga Capital Management presents the
possibility of Quadriga Capital Management increasing the level of trading to
generate greater commission income for Quadriga Asset Management. See "Conflicts
of Interest."
LACK OF INDEPENDENT EXPERTS REPRESENTING INVESTORS
Quadriga Capital Management has consulted with counsel, accountants and
other experts regarding the formation and operation of each Series. No counsel
has been appointed to represent the Limited Partners in connection with the
offering of the Units. Accordingly, each prospective investor should consult his
own legal, tax and financial advisers regarding the desirability of an
investment in each Series.
RELIANCE ON QUADRIGA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Quadriga Capital Management acts as general partner to one other commodity
pool. Also, the incapacity of Quadriga Capital Management's principals could
have a material and adverse effect on Quadriga Capital Management's ability to
discharge its obligations under the Partnership Agreement. Neither Quadriga
Capital Management nor its principals are under any obligation to devote a
minimum amount of time to Quadriga Superfund, which is the first
publicly-offered fund managed by Quadriga Capital Management.
POSSIBILITY OF TERMINATION OF EACH SERIES BEFORE EXPIRATION OF ITS STATED TERM
As general partner, Quadriga Capital Management may withdraw from each
Series upon 120 days' notice, which would cause each Series to terminate unless
a substitute general partner was obtained. Other events, such as a long-term
substantial loss suffered by each Series, could also cause each Series to
terminate before the expiration of its stated term. This could cause you to
liquidate your investments and upset the overall maturity and timing of your
investment portfolio. If the registrations with the CFTC or memberships in the
National Futures Association of Quadriga Capital Management or the clearing
brokers were revoked or suspended, such entity would no longer be able to
provide services to each Series.
10
EACH SERIES IS NOT A REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANY
Although each Series and Quadriga Capital Management are subject to
regulation by the CFTC, each Series is not an investment company subject to the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, you do not have the protections
afforded by that statute which, for example, require investment companies to
have a majority of disinterested directors and regulate the relationship between
the adviser and the investment company.
PROPOSED REGULATORY CHANGE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT
The futures markets are subject to comprehensive statutes, regulations and
margin requirements. In addition, the CFTC and the exchanges are authorized to
take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for
example, the retroactive implementation of speculative position limits or higher
margin requirements, the establishment of daily price limits and the suspension
of trading. The regulation of futures and forward transactions in the United
States is a rapidly changing area of law and is subject to modification by
government and judicial action. In addition, various national governments have
expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the
currency markets and the need to regulate the "derivatives" markets in general.
The effect of any future regulatory change on each Series is impossible to
predict, but could be substantial and adverse.
FORWARDS, SWAPS, HYBRIDS AND OTHER DERIVATIVES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO CFTC
REGULATION
Each Series may trade foreign exchange contracts in the interbank market.
In addition to swaps, each Series may also trade hybrid instruments and other
off-exchange contracts. Swap agreements involve trading income streams such as
fixed rate for floating rate interest. Hybrids are instruments which combine
features of a security with those of a futures contract. There is no exchange or
clearinghouse for these contracts, they are not regulated by the CFTC, and
traders must rely on the creditworthiness of the counterparty to fulfill the
obligations of the transaction. Each Series will not receive the protections
which are provided by the CFTC's regulatory scheme for these transactions.
OPTIONS ON FUTURES ARE SPECULATIVE AND HIGHLY LEVERAGED
In the future, options on futures contracts may be used by each Series to
generate premium income or capital gains. Futures options involve risks similar
to futures in that options are speculative and highly leveraged. The buyer of an
option risks losing the entire purchase price (the premium) of the option. The
writer (seller) of an option risks losing the difference between the premium
received for the option and the price of the commodity or futures contract
underlying the option which the writer must purchase or deliver upon exercise of
the option (which losses can be unlimited). Specific market movements of the
commodities or futures contracts underlying an option cannot accurately be
predicted.
EACH SERIES WILL TRADE EXTENSIVELY IN FOREIGN MARKETS
A substantial portion of Quadriga Capital Management's trades takes place
on markets or exchanges outside the United States. The risk of loss in trading
foreign futures contracts and foreign options can be substantial. Participation
in foreign futures contracts and foreign options transactions involves the
execution and clearing of trades on, or subject to the rules of, a foreign board
of trade. Non-U.S. markets may not be subject to the same degree of regulation
as their U.S. counterparts. None of the CFTC, NFA or any domestic exchange
regulates activities of any foreign boards of trade, including the execution,
delivery and clearing of transactions, or has the power to compel enforcement of
the rules of a foreign board of trade or any applicable foreign laws. Trading on
foreign exchanges also presents the risks of exchange controls, expropriation,
taxation and government disruptions. The price of any foreign futures or foreign
options contract and, therefore, the potential profit and loss thereon, may be
affected by any variance in the foreign exchange rate between the time the order
is placed and the time it is liquidated, offset or exercised. Certain foreign
exchanges may also be in a more or less developmental stage so that prior price
histories may not be indicative of current price dynamics. In addition, each
Series may not have the same access to certain positions on foreign exchanges as
11
do local traders, and the historical market data on which Quadriga Capital
Management bases its strategies may not be as reliable or accessible as it is in
the United States. The rights of clients (such as each Series) in the event of
the insolvency or bankruptcy of a non-U.S. market or broker are also likely to
be more limited than in the case of U.S. markets or brokers. To the extent that
a foreign entity does not have assets domiciled in the United States,
satisfaction of any judgment against that party may be adversely affected.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY
You may transfer or assign your Units only upon 30 days' prior written
notice to Quadriga Capital Management and if Quadriga Capital Management is
satisfied that the transfer complies with applicable laws and would not result
in the termination of each Series for federal income tax purposes.
A SINGLE-ADVISOR FUND MAY BE MORE VOLATILE THAN A MULTI-ADVISOR FUND
Each Series is currently structured as a single-advisor managed futures
fund. You should understand that many managed futures funds are structured as
multi-advisor funds in order to attempt to control risk and reduce volatility
through combining advisors whose historical performance records have exhibited a
significant degree of non-correlation with each other. As a single-advisor
managed futures fund, it is anticipated that each Series may have a greater
profit potential than investment vehicles employing multiple advisors, but may
also have increased performance volatility and a higher risk of loss. Quadriga
Capital Management may retain additional trading advisors on behalf of each
Series in the future.
MONEY COMMITTED TO MARGIN
Each Series may commit up to 50% of its assets as margin for positions held
by the clearing brokers. Because such commitment typically represents only a
small percentage of the total value of such positions, adverse price movements
can cause losses in excess of such commitment and potentially in excess of the
total assets of a Series.
POSSIBLE CONTINGENT LIABILITY
On January 10, 2003 Quadriga Capital Management on behalf of the Fund filed
a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission which amended the Plan of Distribution.
Before such amendment had been declared effective, and as of June 30, 2003, the
Fund had sold a total of 5,640 units of Series A in the principal amount of
$6.74 million and 8,224 units of Series B in the principal amount of $10.73
million. Quadriga Capital Management and the Fund may be subject to potential
claims for rescission from investors and regulatory or enforcement action for
any sales of Units made without an effective Registration Statement. As a
regulated company, Quadriga Capital Management faces potential liability in the
normal cause of its business from any administrative action or in any situation
in which it is found to have engaged in activities which violate applicable law.
Quadriga Capital Management is unable to estimate the probability of assertion
of any related claims or assessments.

QUADRIGA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
DESCRIPTION
Quadriga Capital Management, Inc. is the general partner and commodity
trading advisor of each Series. It is a Grenada corporation with offices located
at Le Marquis Complex, Unit 5, P.O. Box 1479, Grand Anse, St. George's, Grenada
West Indies, and its telephone number is (473) 439-2418. Its sole business is
the trading and management of discretionary futures accounts, including
commodity pools. Quadriga Capital Management currently manages each Series unit
Quadriga Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. As of May 31, 2003,
Quadriga Capital Management and its affiliates had approximately $826 million in
assets under management in the futures and forward markets (including
approximately $373 million in assets traded pursuant to the same program as
traded by Series A and $394 million in assets traded pursuant to the same
program as traded in Series B). Christian Baha owns 100% of Quadriga Capital
Management and 50% of two of its affiliates, Quadriga Fund Management, Inc. and
Quadriga Trading Management, Inc.
Quadriga Fund Management and Quadriga Trading Management each manages
various offshore investment funds with strategies substantially similar to that
of each Series. Quadriga Fund Management manages Quadriga AG (Austria), Quadriga
AG Ansparplan (Austria), Quadriga Global Consolidated Trust SICAV USD
(Luxemburg), Quadriga Global Consolidated Trust SICAV EURO (Luxemburg), and
Quadriga Prosperity Futures (Austria). Quadriga Trading Management manages
Quadriga Hedge Fund Class A (Cayman Islands), Quadriga Hedge Fund Class B
(Cayman Islands), Quadriga Hedge Fund Class C (Cayman Islands), Quadriga
Superfund (Cayman Islands), and Quadriga Zeus Hedge Fund (Cayman Islands).
Quadriga Capital Management does not manage any of these other funds.
The principals of Quadriga Capital Management are Christian Baha and
Gerhard Entzmann. They have not purchased and do not intend to purchase Units.
Quadriga Capital Management has agreed that its capital account as general
partner of each Series at all times will equal at least 1% of the net aggregate
capital contributions of all Limited Partners in each such Series. There have
never been any material administrative, civil or criminal proceedings brought
against Quadriga Capital Management or its principals, whether pending, on
appeal or concluded.
Mr. Baha is Quadriga Capital Management's President and founder. He is a
graduate of the police academy in Vienna, Austria and a student of the Business
University of Vienna, Austria. Mr. Baha started a business with Christian Halper
in 1991 to develop and market financial software applications to institutions in
Austria. From that development, two independent companies were formed:
Teletrader.com Software AG and Quadriga Beteiligungs -- und Vermogens AG.
Teletrader.com is a publicly-held company that offers financial software
products for institutions and is listed on the Austria Stock Exchange. Quadriga
Beteiligungs -- und Vermogens AG was founded in 1995. The total combined assets
under management for these companies has grown to more than $170 million as of
December 31, 2001. Mr. Baha resides in Monte Carlo where he directs the
strategic worldwide expansion of the Quadriga group of companies.
Mr. Entzmann is Quadriga Capital Management's secretary and has been
associated with the company since 2001. He has been involved in managing
Quadriga Capital Management's fund management business for U.S. products. Mr.
Entzmann received a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of
Vienna and in June 2001 he received his doctor's degree. He was a research
assistant at the Institute for Internal Combustion Engines and Vehicle
Engineering at the Technical University of Vienna from 1994 to 2001. Mr.
Entzmann has a strong background in data analysis and systems engineering.
THE TRADING ADVISOR
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, Quadriga Capital Management has the
sole authority and responsibility for managing the Partnership and for directing
the investment and reinvestment of each Series' assets. Although Quadriga
Capital Management will initially serve as the sole trading advisor of each
Series, it may, in the future, retain other trading advisors to manage a portion
of the assets of each Series. Limited Partners will receive prior notice, in the
monthly report from each Series or otherwise, in the event that additional
trading advisors are to be retained on behalf of each Series.
13
TRADING SYSTEMS
Quadriga Capital Management makes each Series' trading decisions using a
fully automated computerized trading system, "TradeCenter", which trades in
approximately 100 futures markets, automatically sends buy and sell signals, and
constantly monitors relevant risk factors on the traded futures and equities
markets in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. By using TradeCenter, human
emotions are completely eliminated from the capital management process.
TradeCenter was developed by Christian Baha and Christian Halper, and is
licensed on a non-exclusive basis to Quadriga Capital Management.
Quadriga Capital Management and its affiliates trade in approximately 100
futures markets globally, including both commodity and financial futures. The
approximate allocation between Sectors is: currencies, 18%; livestock, 5%;
agricultural, 10%; metals, 10%; interest rate, 12%; energy, 13%; stock indices,
18%; and grains, 14%. TradeCenter emphasizes instruments with low correlation
and high liquidity for order execution.
Quadriga Capital Management's strategy is based on the implementation of a
four-point philosophy consisting of (i) market diversification, (ii) technical
analysis, (iii) trend-following, and (iv) money management. TradeCenter scans
approximately one hundred different futures markets worldwide on a daily basis
and makes the following decisions: whether to establish new positions (long or
short), adjustment or placement of stop orders, change in position size based on
volatility or change in correlation between markets, and whether to exit open
positions. The decision to establish new positions is based on a proprietary
algorithm that seeks to identify market trends in advance. This is done by
analyzing technical indicators and parameters such as moving averages, bollinger
bands, etc. Bollinger bands are technical channel indicators calculated as
multiples of the standard deviation above and below a moving average. Because
standard deviation measures volatility, these bands expand during volatile
market periods and contract during stable ones. Quadriga Capital Management
believes that the key to identifying potentially profitable trends using
technical analysis is in the way these indicators and perimeters interrelate and
are combined.
Before entering new positions, TradeCenter defines the maximum open risk
per position based on market correlation and market volatility. This money
management filter is applied after positions have been established on a daily
basis per market and adjusts existing stop order levels or reduces position size
if proprietary pre-defined risk measures are met or exceeded due to market
volatility or changes in market correlation. Quadriga Capital Management uses
the technique called trend following to identify these changes. Positions are
exited either by being stopped out or adjusted as a result of the changes in
volatility or market correlation discussed above. There can be no assurance that
the trading models will produce results similar to those produced in the past.
POTENTIAL INABILITY TO TRADE OR REPORT DUE TO SYSTEMS FAILURE
Quadriga Capital Management's strategies are dependent to a significant
degree on the proper functioning of its internal computer systems. Accordingly,
systems failures, whether due to third party failures upon which such systems
are dependent or the failure of Quadriga Capital Management's hardware or
software, could disrupt trading or make trading impossible until such failure is
remedied. Such failures may result from events including "acts of God" and
domestic or international terrorism. Any such failure, and consequential
inability to trade (even for a short time), could, in certain market conditions,
cause Quadriga Superfund to experience significant trading losses or to miss
opportunities for profitable trading. Lastly, any such failures could cause a
temporary delay in reports to investors.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
QUADRIGA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
Conflicts exist between Quadriga Capital Management's interests in and its
responsibilities to each Series. The conflicts are inherent in Quadriga Capital
Management acting as general partner and as trading advisor to each Series.
These conflicts and the potential detriments to the Limited Partners are
described below. Quadriga Capital Management's selection of itself as trading
advisor was not objective, since it is also the general partner of each Series.
In addition, it has a disincentive to replace itself as the advisor. The
advisory relationship between each Series and Quadriga Capital Management,
including the fee arrangement, was not negotiated at arm's length. Investors
should note, however, that Quadriga Capital Management believes that the fee
arrangements are fair to each Series and competitive with compensation
arrangements in pools involving independent general partners and advisors.
Quadriga Capital Management will review its compensation terms annually to
determine whether such terms continue to be competitive with other pools for
similar services and will lower such fees if it concludes, in good faith, that
its fees are no longer competitive.
Neither Quadriga Capital Management nor its principals devote their time
exclusively to each Series. Quadriga Capital Management (or its principals) acts
as general partner to other commodity pools and trading advisor to other
accounts which may compete with each Series for Quadriga Capital Management's
services. Thus, Quadriga Capital Management could have a conflict between its
responsibilities to each Series and to those other pools and accounts. Quadriga
Capital Management believes that it has sufficient resources to discharge its
responsibilities in this regard in a fair manner. Quadriga Capital Management
may receive higher advisory fees from some of those other accounts than it
receives from each Series. Quadriga Capital Management, however, trades all
accounts in a substantially similar manner, given the differences in size and
timing of the capital additions and withdrawals.
In addition, Quadriga Capital Management may find that futures positions
established for the benefit of each Series, when aggregated with positions in
other accounts of Quadriga Capital Management, approach the speculative position
limits in a particular commodity. Quadriga Capital Management may decide to
address this situation either by liquidating each Series' positions in that
futures contract and reapportioning the portfolio in other contracts or by
trading contracts in other markets which do not have restrictive limits. Any
principal of Quadriga Capital Management may trade futures and related contracts
for its own account. Trading records for any proprietary trading are not
available for review by clients or investors. Employees of Quadriga Capital
Management are prohibited from trading for their own accounts.
A conflict of interest exists if proprietary trades are executed and
cleared at more favorable rates than trades cleared on behalf of each Series. A
potential conflict also may occur when Quadriga Capital Management or its
principals trade their proprietary accounts more aggressively, take positions in
proprietary accounts which are opposite, or ahead of, the positions taken by
each Series.
THE CLEARING BROKERS
The clearing brokers, currently Cargill Investors Services, Inc., ADMIS
Inc. and Fimat USA and the affiliates and personnel of such entities, may trade
futures and forward contracts for their own accounts. This trading could give
rise to conflicts of interest with each Series. The clearing brokers also may
serve as a brokers for other commodity pools, which could give rise to conflicts
of interest between their responsibility to each Series and to those pools and
clients. Any clearing broker that is also a selling agent of each Series could
give rise to conflicts of interest because its compensation in each role is
based on the net asset value of units outstanding. Further, in making
recommendations to redeem or purchase additional Units, employees of the
clearing brokers may have a conflict of interest between acting in the best
interest of their clients and assuring continued compensation to their employer.
FIDUCIARY DUTY AND REMEDIES
Subject to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, a prospective
investor should be aware that Quadriga Capital Management, as general partner of
a Series, has a responsibility to Limited Partners of that
21
Series to exercise good faith and fairness in all dealings affecting such
Series. The Partnership Agreement provisions limiting this responsibility are
summarized below under "Indemnification and Standard of Liability." The
fiduciary responsibility of a general partner to the Limited Partners is a
developing and changing area of the law and Limited Partners who have questions
concerning the duties of Quadriga Capital Management as general partner should
consult with their counsel. In the event that a Limited Partner of a Series
believes that Quadriga Capital Management has violated its fiduciary duty to the
Limited Partners of such Series, he may seek legal relief individually or on
behalf of such Series under applicable laws, including under the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended (the "Act") and under
commodities laws, to recover damages from or require an accounting by Quadriga
Capital Management. The Partnership Agreement is governed by Delaware law and
any breach of Quadriga Capital Management's fiduciary duty under the Partnership
Agreement will generally be governed by Delaware law.
The Partnership Agreement does not limit Quadriga Capital Management's
fiduciary obligations under Delaware or common law; however, Quadriga Capital
Management may assert as a defense to claims of breach of fiduciary duty that
the conflicts of interest and fees payable to Quadriga Capital Management have
been disclosed in this Prospectus. Limited Partners may also have the right,
subject to applicable procedural and jurisdictional requirements, to bring class
actions in federal court to enforce their rights under the federal securities
laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC. Limited
Partners who have suffered losses in connection with the purchase or sale of the
Units may be able to recover such losses from Quadriga Capital Management where
the losses result from a violation by Quadriga Capital Management of the federal
securities laws. State securities laws may also provide certain remedies to
Limited Partners. Limited Partners should be aware that performance by Quadriga
Capital Management of its fiduciary duty to each Series is measured by the terms
of the Partnership Agreement as well as applicable law. Limited Partners are
afforded certain rights to institute reparations proceedings under the Commodity
Exchange Act for violations of the Commodity Exchange Act or of any rule,
regulation or order of the CFTC by Quadriga Capital Management.
INDEMNIFICATION AND STANDARD OF LIABILITY
Quadriga Capital Management and its controlling persons may not be liable
to each Series or any Limited Partner for errors in judgment or other acts or
omissions not amounting to misconduct or negligence, as a consequence of the
indemnification and exculpatory provisions described in the following paragraph.
Purchasers of Units may have more limited rights of action than they would
absent such provisions.
The Partnership Agreement provides that Quadriga Capital Management and its
controlling persons shall not have any liability to each Series or to any
Limited Partner for any loss suffered by such Series which arises out of any
action or inaction if Quadriga Capital Management, in good faith, determined
that such course of conduct was in the best interests of such Series and such
course of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct of Quadriga
Capital Management. Each Series has agreed to indemnify Quadriga Capital
Management and its controlling persons against claims, losses or liabilities
based on their conduct relating to such Series, provided that the conduct
resulting in the claims, losses or liabilities for which indemnity is sought did
not constitute negligence or misconduct or breach of any fiduciary obligation to
such Series and was done in good faith and in a manner which Quadriga Capital
Management, in good faith, determined to be in the best interests of such
Series. Controlling persons of Quadriga Capital Management are entitled to
indemnity only for losses resulting from claims against such controlling persons
due solely to their relationship with Quadriga Capital Management or for losses
incurred in performing the duties of Quadriga Capital Management. See Section 17
of the Partnership Agreement, included as Exhibit A to this Prospectus. Each
Series will not indemnify Quadriga Capital Management or its controlling persons
for any liability arising from securities law violations in connection with the
offering of the Units of such Series unless Quadriga Capital Management or its
controlling persons prevails on the merits or obtains a court approved
settlement (in accordance with Section 17 of the Partnership Agreement). The
position of the SEC is that any such indemnification is contrary to the federal
securities laws and therefore unenforceable.
22
CHARGES TO EACH SERIES
The following list of fees and expenses includes all compensation, fees,
profits and other benefits (including reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses)
which Quadriga Capital Management, the selling agents, the clearing brokers and
the affiliates of those parties may earn or receive in connection with the
offering and operation of each Series. Prospective investors should refer to the
Breakeven Analysis for each Series beginning on page 5 for an estimate of the
break-even amount that is required for an investor to recoup such fees and
expenses, or "break even" in the first year of trading.
MANAGEMENT FEE
Each Series will pay Quadriga Capital Management a monthly management fee
equal to one-twelfth of 1.85% (1.85% annually) of the month end net asset value
of such Series. This fee will be paid to Quadriga Capital Management for
providing ongoing advisory services and is payable notwithstanding Quadriga
Capital Management's actual trading performance.
PERFORMANCE FEE
Each Series will pay Quadriga Capital Management a monthly incentive fee
equal to 25% of the new appreciation (if any) in the net asset value of that
Series. "New appreciation" means the total increase in net asset value of a
Series from the end of the last period for which a performance fee was earned by
Quadriga Capital Management. The performance fee is not reduced for
extraordinary expenses, if any, of the Series, and no fee is paid with respect
to interest income. If a performance fee payment is made by each Series, and
each Series thereafter incurs a net loss, Quadriga Capital Management will
retain the amount previously paid. Thus, Quadriga Capital Management may be paid
a performance fee during a year in which each Series overall incurred net
losses. Trading losses will be carried forward and no further performance fees
may be paid until the prior losses have been recovered.
Below is a sample calculation of the performance fee with respect to a
Series: Assume a Series paid a performance fee at the end of the first month of
2002 and assume that such Series recognized trading profits (net of all
brokerage fees and operating and offering expenses) of $200,000 during the
second month of 2002. The new appreciation for the month (before interest
earned) would be $200,000 and Quadriga Capital Management's performance fee
would be $50,000 (0.25 X $200,000). Alternatively, assume that such Series paid
a performance fee at the end of the eleventh month of 2001 but did not pay a
performance fee at the end of the twelfth month of 2001 because it had trading
losses of $100,000. If such Series recognized trading profits of $200,000 at the
end of the first month of 2002, the new appreciation (before interest earned)
for the month would be $100,000 ($200,000 - $100,000 loss carry forward) and
Quadriga Capital Management's performance fee would be $25,000 (0.25 X
$100,000). Please note that this simplified example assumes that no Limited
Partners of such Series have added or redeemed Units within such Series during
this sample time frame. Such capital changes require that the calculation be
determined on a "per Unit" per Series basis. If the net asset value per Unit
within a Series at the time when a particular investor acquires Units is lower
than the net asset value per Unit within a Series as of the end of the most
recent prior calendar month for which a performance fee was payable (due to
losses incurred between such month-end and the subscription date), such Units
might experience a substantial increase in value after the subscription date yet
pay no performance fee as of the next calendar month-end because such Series as
a whole has not experienced new appreciation. If a performance fee accrual is in
effect at the time when particular Units are purchased (due to gains achieved
prior to the applicable subscription day), the net asset value per Unit reflects
such accrual. In the event the net asset value of a Series declines after the
subscription date, the incentive fee accrual is "reversed" and such reversal is
credited to all Units within such Series equally, including the Units which were
purchased at a net asset value per Unit which fully reflected such accrual. The
brokerage fee and performance fee may be increased upon sixty days' notice to
the Limited Partners of a Series as long as the notice explains Limited
Partners' redemption and voting rights.
23
ORGANIZATION AND OFFERING EXPENSES
Each Series will pay a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 1% (1% annually)
of the month end net asset value of that Series for organization and offering
expenses. Organization and offering expenses include all fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the formation of each Series and distribution of the
Units including printing, mailing, filing fees, escrow fees, salaries and
bonuses of employees while engaged in sales activities and marketing expenses of
Quadriga Capital Management and the selling agents which are paid by each Series
and will be advanced by Quadriga Capital Management. Each Series is required by
certain state securities administrators to disclose that the "organization and
offering expenses" of each Series, as defined by the NASAA Guidelines, will not
exceed 15% of the total subscriptions accepted.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Each Series bears its operating expenses, including but not limited to
administrative, legal and accounting fees, and any taxes or extraordinary
expenses payable by each Series, at a fixed rate of 1/12 of 0.15% per month
(0.15% annually) of each Series month end net asset value. Quadriga Capital
Management will be responsible for any such expenses during any year of
operations which exceed 0.15% of each Series' net assets per annum. Indirect
expenses in connection with the administration of each Series, such as indirect
salaries, rent, travel and overhead of Quadriga Capital Management, may not be
charged to each Series.
BROKERAGE AND TRAILING COMMISSIONS
Each Series will be charged $25.00 per round turn transaction plus
applicable National Futures Association and exchange fees for execution and
brokerage services, along with an annual 4% selling commission ( 1/12 of 4% per
month) of the month-end net asset value of each Series per month. These
commissions and fees will be paid to Quadriga Asset Management, an introducing
broker and affiliate of Quadriga Capital Management, which will, in turn, remit
a portion of the commissions to the clearing broker for execution and clearing
costs. Quadriga Asset Management will retain the remaining brokerage commission
fee. Quadriga Asset Management will also remit a portion of the selling fee to
the selling agents for ongoing administrative services to the Limited Partners.
The compensation to be paid will not exceed the guidelines established by the
North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. ("NASAA").
USE OF PROCEEDS
The entire offering proceeds received from subscription for each Series
will be credited to such Series' bank and brokerage accounts for the purpose of
engaging in trading activities and as reserves for that trading. Continuing fees
and expenses such as operating and management will also be paid from funds in
these accounts. Each Series meets its margin requirements by depositing U.S.
government securities with the clearing broker. In this way, substantially all
(i.e., 95% or more) of each Series' assets, whether used as margin for trading
purposes or as reserves for such trading, can be invested in U.S. government
securities. Investors should note that maintenance of each Series' assets in
U.S. government securities and banks does not reduce the risk of loss from
trading futures and forward contracts. Each Series receives all interest earned
on its assets. Up to 50% of each Series' assets will be committed as margin for
futures contracts and held by the clearing broker, although the amount committed
may vary significantly. Such assets are maintained in segregated accounts with
the clearing broker pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and regulations
thereunder. The remaining Series assets will normally be invested in U.S.
Treasury bills. A portion of this remaining portion may also be invested in
reverse repurchase obligations and short-term corporate debt obligations rated
AAA by at least one commercial rating agency. Each Series' assets are not and
will not be, directly or indirectly, commingled with the property of any other
Series, or any other person by Quadriga Capital Management nor invested with or
loaned to Quadriga Capital Management or any affiliated entities.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
DISTRIBUTIONS
Each Series is not required to make any distributions to Limited Partners.
While each Series has the authority to make such distributions, it does not
intend to do so in the foreseeable future. Quadriga Capital Management believes
that distributions of Partnership assets serve no useful purpose since Limited
Partners may redeem any or all of their Units at the then current net value per
Unit on a periodic basis. The amount and timing of future distributions is
uncertain. Because of the potential volatility of the futures and forward
contract markets, especially in the short-term, each Series is recommended for
those seeking a medium- to long-term investment, i.e., three to five years). If
each Series realizes profits for any fiscal year, such profits will constitute
taxable income to the Limited Partners of such Series in accordance with their
respective investments in such Series whether or not cash or other property has
been distributed to Limited Partners. Any distributions, if made by a Series,
may be inadequate to cover such taxes payable by the Limited Partners of such
Series.
REDEMPTIONS
A Limited Partner of a Series may request any or all of his investment in
such Series be redeemed by such Series at the net asset value of a Unit within
such Series as of the end of the month, subject to a minimum redemption of
$1,000 and subject further to such Limited Partner having an investment in such
Series, after giving effect to the requested redemption, at least equal to the
minimum initial investment amount of $5,000. Limited Partners must transmit a
written request of such withdrawal to Quadriga Capital Management not less than
ten (10) business days prior to the end of the month (or such shorter period as
permitted by Quadriga Capital Management) as of which redemption is to be
effective. The Request for Redemption must specify the dollar amount for which
redemption is sought. Redemptions will generally be paid within 20 days after
the date of redemption. However, in special circumstances, including, but not
limited to, inability to liquidate dealers' positions as of a redemption date or
default or delay in payments due to each Series from clearing brokers, banks or
other persons or entities, each Series may in turn delay payment to persons
requesting redemption of the proportionate part of the net assets of each Series
represented by the sums that are the subject of such default or delay. No such
delays have been imposed to date by any pool sponsored by Quadriga Capital
Management. The federal income tax aspects of redemptions are described under
"Federal Income Tax Aspects."
NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value of a Unit within a Series as of any date is (i) the sum
of all cash, plus Treasury bills valued at cost plus accrued interest, and other
securities of such Series valued at market, plus the market value of all open
futures, forward and option positions maintained by such Series, less all
liabilities of each Series and accrued performance fees payable by such Series,
determined in accordance with the principles specified in the Partnership
Agreement, divided by (ii) the number of Units of such Series outstanding as of
the date of determination. Where no principle is specified in the Partnership
Agreement, the net asset value of a Series is calculated in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America under
the accrual basis of accounting.

QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P. LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
The following is a summary of the Quadriga Superfund, L.P. Limited
Partnership Agreement (the "Partnership Agreement"), a form of which is attached
as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.
ORGANIZATION AND LIMITED LIABILITIES
Quadriga Superfund is organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act, as amended (the "Act"). The Partnership Agreement provides that
Quadriga Superfund shall be organized as separate Series. Under the Partnership
Agreement, Quadriga Capital Management has created Series A and Series B.
Quadriga Capital Management may create other Series under the Partnership
Agreement as provided therein. In general, the liability of a Limited Partner
within a Series under the Act is limited to the amount of his capital
contribution to such Series and his share of any undistributed profits of such
Series. (However, Limited Partners could be required, as a matter of bankruptcy
law, to return to each Series' estate any distribution which they received at a
time when such Series was in fact insolvent or in violation of the Partnership
Agreement.) The assets and estate of one Series is not liable for the
liabilities of another Series.
MANAGEMENT OF PARTNERSHIP AFFAIRS
The Partnership Agreement effectively gives Quadriga Capital Management, as
general partner, full control over the management and operations of each Series
and the Partnership Agreement gives no management role to the Limited Partners.
To facilitate matters for Quadriga Capital Management, the Limited Partners must
execute the attached Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney (Exhibit D).
Registered Agents Legal Services, LLC will accept service of legal process
on each Series in the State of Delaware. Only Quadriga Capital Management has
signed the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, and only
the assets of each Series are subject to issuer liability under the federal
securities laws for the information contained in this Prospectus and under
federal and state laws with respect to the issuance and sale of the Units. Under
the Partnership Agreement, the power and authority to manage, operate and
control all aspects of the business of each Series are vested in the General
Partner. In addition, QCM has been designated as the "tax matters partner" of
each Series and of Quadriga Superfund for purposes of 27-36 the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The Limited Partners have no voice in the operations of each Series, other
than certain limited voting rights as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. In
the course of its management, Quadriga Capital Management may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, appoint an affiliate or affiliates of Quadriga Capital
Management as additional general partners (except where Quadriga Capital
Management has been notified by the Limited Partners that it is to be replaced
as the general partner) and retain such persons, including affiliates of
Quadriga Capital Management, as it deems necessary for the efficient operation
of each Series.
THE ADMINISTRATOR
RK Consulting, LLC ("RKC" or the "Administrator") is Quadriga Superfund's
administrator and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rothstein, Kass & Co., P.C.
("Rothstein Kass"). Pursuant to an out-sourced Accounting and Tax Services
Agreement entered into between Quadriga Superfund and RKC, (the "Accounting
Agreement"), RKC will be responsible for, among other things: (i) developing an
electronic linkage with each of the Series' Clearing Brokers in order to receive
monthly data from such brokers, (ii) calculating the monthly fees and the
performance fee payable to Quadriga Capital Management with respect to each
Series, (iii) preparing or procuring the preparation of annual financial
statements of each Series and furnishing such statements, as well as the monthly
reports and quarterly reports regarding each Series' performance and net asset
value per Unit, to Quadriga Capital Management and to Limited Partners of such
Series, (iv) keeping the accounts of each Series and of Quadriga Superfund and
such financial books as required by law or otherwise for the conduct of the
financial affairs of each Series, and (v) performing all other accounting
services necessary in connection with each Series.
27
The Accounting Agreement provides that RKC shall not be liable to a Series
for any acts or omissions in connection with the services rendered to such
Series under such agreement in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct
by RKC, or a breach by RKC of the Accounting Agreement. In addition, the Series
has agreed to indemnify RKC for any and all expenses, costs, damages, or causes
of action, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by
RKC as the result of the unauthorized acts of such Series, Quadriga Capital
Management, its employees or agents, or arising out of such Series' or Quadriga
Capital Management's negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of the Accounting
Agreement. RKC receives customary fees paid out of a Series' assets based upon
the nature and extent of the services performed by RKC for such Series. The
Accounting Agreement may be terminated at any time without penalty by either of
the parties upon not less than 90 days' written notice.

funds since the early 1980's and for offshore funds since the early 1990's,
including, among other things, portfolio accounting, tax reporting, financial
accounting, software development and general administrative services.
SHARING OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
Each Limited Partner within a Series has a capital account. Initially, the
Limited Partner's balance equals the amount paid for the Units in such Series.
The Limited Partner's balance is then proportionally adjusted monthly to reflect
any additions or withdrawals by each Limited Partner and his portion of such
Series' gains or losses for the month as reflected by changes in the net asset
value for such Series.
FEDERAL TAX ALLOCATIONS
At year-end, each Series will determine the total taxable income or loss
for the year. Subject to the special allocation of net capital gain or loss to
redeeming Limited Partners, the taxable gain or loss is allocated to each
Limited Partner within a Series in proportion to his capital account therein and
each Limited Partner is responsible for his share of taxable income of such
Series. See Section 8 of the Partnership Agreement, and "Federal Income Tax
Aspects." For net capital gain and loss, the gains and losses are first
allocated to each Limited Partner who redeemed units during the year. The
remaining net capital gain or loss is then allocated to each Limited Partner in
proportion to his capital account. Each Limited Partner's tax basis in his units
is increased by the taxable income allocated to him and reduced by any
distributions received and losses allocated to him. Upon each Series'
liquidation, each Limited Partner within such Series will receive his
proportionate share of the assets of such Series.
DISPOSITIONS
A Limited Partner may transfer or assign his units in a Series upon 30
days' prior written notice to Quadriga Capital Management and subject to
approval by Quadriga Capital Management of the assignee. Quadriga Capital
Management will provide consent when it is satisfied that the transfer complies
with applicable laws, and further would not result in the termination of such
Series for federal income tax purposes. An assignee not admitted to a Series as
a Limited Partner will have only limited rights to share the profits and capital
of such Series and a limited redemption right. Assignees receive "carry-over"
tax basis accounts and capital accounts from their assignors, irrespective of
the amount paid for the assigned Units.
DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION OF EACH SERIES
Each Series will be terminated and dissolved upon the happening of the
earlier of: 1) the expiration of each Series' stated term on December 31, 2050;
2) Limited Partners owning more than 50% of the outstanding units of such Series
vote to dissolve such Series; 3) Quadriga Capital Management withdraws as
28
general partner and no new general partner is appointed; 4) a decline in the
aggregate net assets of such Series to less than $500,000; 5) the continued
existence of such Series becomes unlawful; or 6) such Series is dissolved by
operation of law.
AMENDMENTS AND MEETINGS
The Partnership Agreement may be amended with the approval of more than
fifty percent (50%) of the Units then owned by Limited Partners of each Series.
Quadriga Capital Management may make minor changes to the Partnership Agreement
without the approval of the Limited Partners. These minor changes can be for
clarifications of inaccuracies or ambiguities, modifications in response to
changes in tax code or regulations or any other changes the managing owner deems
advisable so long as they do not change the basic investment policy or structure
of each Series. Limited Partners owning at least 10% of the outstanding units of
a Series can call a meeting of such Series. At that meeting, the Limited
Partners, provided that Limited Partners owning a majority of the outstanding
units of such Series concur, can vote to: 1) amend the Partnership Agreement
with respect to such Series without the consent of Quadriga Capital Management;
2) dissolve such Series; 3) terminate contracts with Quadriga Capital
Management; 4) remove and replace Quadriga Capital Management as general
partner; and 5) approve the sale of Quadriga Superfund's assets.
INDEMNIFICATION
Each Series agrees to indemnify Quadriga Capital Management, as general
partner, for actions taken on behalf of such Series, provided that Quadriga
Capital Management's conduct was in the best interests of such Series and the
conduct was not the result of negligence or misconduct. Indemnification by each
Series for alleged violation of securities laws is only available if the
following conditions are satisfied: 1) a successful adjudication on the merits
of each count alleged has been obtained, or 2) such claims have been dismissed
with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction; or 3) a court
of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims and finds
indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made; and 4) in
the case of 3), the court has been advised of the position of the SEC and
certain states in which the units were offered and sold as to indemnification
for the violations.
REPORTS TO LIMITED PARTNERS
The Limited Partners in a Series shall have access to and the right to copy
such Series' books and records. A Limited Partner may obtain a list of all
Limited Partners within such Series together with the number of units owned by
each Limited Partner within such Series, provided such request is not for
commercial purposes unrelated to such Limited Partner's interest as a beneficial
owner of such Series. Quadriga Capital Management will provide various reports
and statements to the Limited Partners within a Series including: 1) monthly,
Quadriga Capital Management will provide an unaudited income statement of the
prior month's Series' activities; 2) annually, Quadriga Capital Management will
provide audited financial statements of such Series accompanied by a fiscal
year-end summary of the monthly reports described above; 3) annually, Quadriga
Capital Management will provide tax information necessary for the preparation of
the Limited Partners' annual federal income tax returns; and 4) if the net asset
value per unit within a Series as of the end of any business day declines by 50%
or more from either the prior year-end or the prior month-end unit value of such
Series, Quadriga Capital Management will suspend trading activities, notify all
Limited Partners within such Series of the relevant facts within seven business
days and declare a special redemption period.
29
FEDERAL INCOME TAX ASPECTS
The following constitutes the opinion of Henderson & Lyman and summarizes
the material federal income tax consequences to individual investors in each
Series.
EACH SERIES' PARTNERSHIP TAX STATUS
Because each Series is treated as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes, each Series does not pay any federal income tax. Based on the expected
activity of and restrictions on each Series, each Series will not be taxed as a
"publicly traded partnership."
TAXATION OF LIMITED PARTNERS ON PROFITS AND LOSSES OF EACH SERIES
Each Limited Partner must pay tax on his share of each Series' annual
income and gains, if any, even if each Series does not make any cash
distributions. Each Series generally allocates each Series' gains and losses
equally to each Unit. However, a Limited Partner who redeems any Units will be
allocated his share of each Series' gains and losses in order that the amount of
cash a Limited Partner receives for a redeemed Unit equals the Limited Partner's
adjusted tax basis in the redeemed Unit less any offering or syndication
expenses allocated to such Units. A Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis in a
redeemed Unit equals the amount originally paid for the Unit, increased by
income or gains allocated to the Unit and decreased (but not below zero) by
distributions, deductions or losses allocated to the Unit.
PARTNERSHIP LOSSES BY LIMITED PARTNERS
A Limited Partner may deduct Quadriga Superfund losses only to the extent
of his tax basis in his Units. Generally, a Limited Partner's tax basis is the
amount paid for the units reduced (but not below zero) by his share of any
Quadriga Superfund distributions, losses and expenses and increased by his share
of each Series' income and gains. However, a Limited Partner subject to
"at-risk" limitations (generally, non-corporate taxpayers and closely-held
corporations) can only deduct losses to the extent he is "at-risk." The
"at-risk" amount is similar to tax basis, except that it does not include any
amount borrowed on a non-recourse basis or from someone with an interest in each
Series.
"PASSIVE-ACTIVITY LOSS RULES" AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE TREATMENT OF INCOME AND
LOSS
The trading activities of each Series are not a "passive activity."
Accordingly, a Limited Partner can deduct Quadriga Superfund losses from taxable
income. However, a Limited Partner cannot offset losses from "passive
activities" against Quadriga Superfund gains.
CASH DISTRIBUTIONS AND UNIT REDEMPTIONS
A Limited Partner who receives cash from each Series, either through a
distribution or a partial redemption, will not pay tax on that cash until his
tax basis in the Units is zero.
GAIN OR LOSS ON SECTION 1256 CONTRACTS AND NON-SECTION 1256 CONTRACTS
Section 1256 Contracts are futures and most options traded on U.S.
exchanges and certain foreign currency contracts. For tax purposes, Section 1256
Contracts that remain open at year-end are treated as if the position were
closed at year-end. The gain or loss on Section 1256 Contracts is characterized
as 60% long-term capital gain or loss and 40% short-term capital gain or loss
regardless of how long the position was open. Non-Section 1256 Contracts
include, among other things, certain foreign currency transactions such as
transactions when the amount paid or received is in a foreign currency. Gain and
loss from these Non-Section 1256 Contracts are generally short-term capital gain
or loss or ordinary income or loss.
TAX ON CAPITAL GAINS AND LOSSES
Long-term capital gains -- net gain on capital assets held more than one
year and 60% of the gain on Section 1256 Contracts -- are taxed at a maximum
rate of 20%. Short-term capital gains -- net gain on
30
capital assets held less than one year and 40% of the gain on Section 1256
Contracts -- are subject to tax at the same rates as ordinary income, with a
maximum rate of 39.6% for individuals. Individual taxpayers can deduct capital
losses only to the extent of their capital gains plus $3,000. Accordingly, each
Series could suffer significant losses and a Limited Partner could still be
required to pay taxes on his share of each Series' interest income. An
individual taxpayer can carry back net capital losses on Section 1256 Contracts
three years to offset earlier gains on Section 1256 Contracts. To the extent the
taxpayer cannot offset past Section 1256 Contract gains, he can carry forward
such losses indefinitely as losses on Section 1256 Contracts.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest received by each Series is taxed as ordinary income. Net capital
losses can offset ordinary income only to the extent of $3,000 per year. See
"-- Tax on Capital Gains and Losses."
LIMITED DEDUCTION FOR CERTAIN EXPENSES
Quadriga Capital Management does not consider the brokerage fee and the
performance fees, as well as other ordinary expenses of each Series, investment
advisory expenses or other expenses of producing income. Accordingly, Quadriga
Capital Management treats these expenses as ordinary business deductions not
subject to the material deductibility limitations which apply to investment
advisory expenses. The IRS could contend otherwise and to the extent the IRS
recharacterizes these expenses, a Limited Partner would have the amount of the
ordinary expenses allocated to him reduced accordingly.
SYNDICATION FEES
Neither each Series nor any Limited Partner is entitled to any deduction
for syndication expenses, if any, in the year they reduce net asset value, nor
can these expenses be amortized by each Series or any Limited Partner even
though the payment of such expenses reduces net asset value. The IRS could take
the position that a portion of the brokerage fee paid by each Series to Quadriga
Capital Management constitutes syndication expenses which reduce a Limited
Partner's net asset value, but do not reduce a Limited Partner's adjusted tax
basis.
INVESTMENT INTEREST DEDUCTIBILITY LIMITATIONS
Individual taxpayers can deduct "investment interest" -- interest on
indebtedness allocable to property held for investment -- only to the extent
that it does not exceed net investment income. Net investment income does not
include adjusted net capital gain taxed at the lower 20% rate.
UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME
Tax-exempt Limited Partners will not be required to pay tax on their share
of income or gains of each Series, provided that such Limited Partners do not
purchase units with borrowed funds.
IRS AUDITS OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS LIMITED PARTNERS
The IRS audits Partnership-related items at the entity level rather than at
the Limited Partner level. Quadriga Capital Management acts as "tax matters
partner" with the authority to determine each Series' responses to an audit. If
an audit results in an adjustment, all Limited Partners may be required to pay
additional taxes, interest and penalties.
STATE AND OTHER TAXES
In addition to the federal income tax consequences described above, each
Series and the Limited Partners may be subject to various state and other taxes.
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISERS BEFORE DECIDING
WHETHER TO INVEST.
31
INVESTMENT BY ERISA ACCOUNTS
GENERAL
This section sets forth certain consequences under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and the Code, which a
fiduciary of an "employee benefit plan" as defined in and subject to ERISA or of
a "plan" as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code who has
investment discretion should consider before deciding to invest the plan's
assets in each Series (such "employee benefit plans" and "plans" being referred
to herein as "Plans," and such fiduciaries with investment discretion being
referred to herein as "Plan Fiduciaries").
SPECIAL INVESTMENT CONSIDERATION
Each Plan Fiduciary must give appropriate consideration to the facts and
circumstances that are relevant to an investment in each Series, including the
role that an investment in each Series plays or would play in the Plan's overall
investment portfolio. Each Plan Fiduciary, before deciding to invest in each
Series, must be satisfied that such investment is prudent for the Plan, that the
investments of the Plan, including each Series, are diversified so as to
minimize the risk of large losses and that an investment in each Series complies
with the terms of the Plan and related trust.
EACH SERIES SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED TO HOLD "PLAN ASSETS"
A regulation issued under ERISA (the "ERISA Regulation") contains rules for
determining when an investment by a Plan in an equity interest of an entity will
result in the underlying assets of the entity being assets of the Plan for
purposes of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (i.e., "plan assets"). Those
rules provide in pertinent part that assets of an entity will not be plan assets
of a Plan which purchases an equity interest in the entity if the equity
interest purchased is a "publicly-offered security" (the "Publicly-Offered
Security Exception"). If the underlying assets of an entity are considered to be
assets of any Plan for purposes of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, the
operations of such entity would be subject to and, in some cases, limited by,
the provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code The Publicly-Offered
Security Exception applies if the equity is a security that is: 1) "freely
transferable" (determined based on the applicable facts and circumstances); 2)
part of a class of securities that is "widely held" (meaning that the class of
securities is owned by 100 or more investors independent of the issuer and of
each other); and 3) either (a) part of a class of securities registered under
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (b) sold to
the Plan as part of a public offering pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and the class of which such security
is a part is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within 120
days (or such later time as may be allowed by the SEC) after the end of the
fiscal year of the issuer in which the offering of such security occurred. It
appears that all of the conditions described above will be satisfied with
respect to the Units and, therefore, the Units should constitute
"publicly-offered securities" and the underlying assets of each Series should
not be considered to constitute assets of any Plan which purchases Units.
INELIGIBLE PURCHASERS
In general, Units may not be purchased with the assets of a Plan if
Quadriga Capital Management, the clearing brokers, any of the selling agents,
any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective employees either:
1) has investment discretion with respect to the investment of such plan assets;
2) has authority or responsibility to give or regularly gives investment advice
with respect to such plan assets, for a fee, and pursuant to an agreement or
understanding that such advice will serve as a primary basis for investment
decisions with respect to such plan assets and that such advice will be based on
the particular investment needs of the Plan; or 3) is an employer maintaining or
contributing to such Plan. NONE OF QUADRIGA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, THE CLEARING
BROKERS OR THE SELLING AGENTS MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION THAT THIS INVESTMENT MEETS
THE RELEVANT LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS BY ANY PARTICULAR
PLAN OR THAT THIS INVESTMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN. THE PERSON
WITH
32
INVESTMENT DISCRETION SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER ATTORNEY AND FINANCIAL
ADVISERS AS TO THE PROPRIETY OF AN INVESTMENT IN EACH SERIES IN LIGHT OF THE
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PARTICULAR PLAN.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURE
Each Series will offer the Units to the public during the continuing
offering at the net asset value per Unit as of each month-end closing date on
which subscriptions are accepted, subject to calculation of such month-end net
asset value by the Administrator. Investors must submit subscriptions at least
five (5) business days prior to the applicable month-end closing date and they
will be accepted once payments are received and cleared. Investors may rescind
their subscription agreement within five (5) business days of receipt of each
Series' Prospectus. Quadriga Capital Management may suspend, limit or terminate
the continuing offering period at any time. The Units are offered on a "best
efforts" basis without any firm underwriting commitment through selling agents
which are registered broker-dealers and members of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Quadriga Capital Management is also offering Units
directly to potential investors by distributing this Prospectus and making it
available on a special internet website (http://www.superfund.com). Quadriga
Capital Management intends to engage in marketing efforts through media
including but not limited to third party websites, newspapers, magazines, other
periodicals, television, radio, seminars, conferences, workshops, and sporting
and charity events. Units are offered until such time as Quadriga Capital
Management terminates the continuing offering. Subscriptions received during the
continuing offering period can be accepted on a monthly basis. Subscribers whose
subscriptions are canceled or rejected will be notified of when their
subscriptions, plus interest, will be returned, which shall be promptly after
rejection. Subscribers whose subscriptions are accepted will be issued
fractional units, calculated to three decimal places, in an amount which will
include any interest earned on their subscriptions. Each Series' escrow account
is maintained at HSBC Bank USA, 452 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10018 (the
"Escrow Agent"). All subscription funds are required to be promptly transmitted
to the Escrow Agent. Subscriptions must be accepted or rejected by Quadriga
Capital Management within five business days of receipt, and the settlement date
for the deposit of subscription funds in escrow must be within five business
days of acceptance. No fees or costs will be assessed on any subscription while
held in escrow, irrespective of whether the subscription is accepted or
subscription funds returned. The Escrow Agent will invest the subscription funds
in short-term United States Treasury bills or comparable authorized instruments
while held in escrow. Subscriptions from customers of any of the selling agents
may also be made by authorizing such selling agent to debit the Limited
Partner's customer securities account at the selling agent. Promptly after
debiting the customer's securities account, the selling agent shall send payment
to the Escrow Agent as described above, in the amount of the subscription so
debited. Subscribers must purchase Units for investment purposes only and not
with a view toward resale. An investor who meets the suitability standards given
below must complete, execute and deliver to the relevant selling agent a copy of
the Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney attached as Exhibit D. A
Limited Partner can pay either by a check made payable to "Quadriga Superfund,
L.P. Series (A or B, as applicable), Escrow Account" or by authorizing his
selling agent to debit his customer securities account. Quadriga Capital
Management will then accept or reject the subscription within five business days
of receipt of the subscription. All subscriptions are irrevocable once
subscription payments are deposited in escrow.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTORS IN THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
Investors are required to make representations and warranties in the
Subscription Agreement. Each Series' primary intention in requiring the
investors to make representations and warranties is to ensure that only persons
for whom an investment is suitable invest in each Series. Each Series is most
likely to assert representations and warranties if it has reason to believe that
the related investor may not be qualified to invest or remain invested in each
Series. The representations and warranties made by investors in the Subscription
Agreement may be summarized as relating to: 1) eligibility of investors to
invest in each Series, including legal age, net worth and annual income; 2)
representative capacity of investors; 3) information provided by
33
investors; 4) information received by investors; and 5) investments made on
behalf of employee benefit plans. See the Subscription Agreement and Power of
Attorney attached as Exhibit D for further detail.
MINIMUM INVESTMENT
The minimum investment is $5,000 in one Series. Limited Partners in one
Series may increase their investment in that same Series with an additional
investment of $1,000 or more. Prospective investors must be aware that the price
per Unit of a Unit in a Series during the continuing offering period will vary
depending upon the month-end net asset value per Unit of such Series. Under the
federal securities laws and those of certain states, investors may be subject to
special minimum purchase and/or investor suitability requirements.
INVESTOR SUITABILITY
There can be no assurance that each Series will achieve its objectives or
avoid substantial losses. An investment in each Series is suitable only for a
limited segment of the risk portion of an investor's portfolio and no one should
invest more in each Series than he can afford to lose. The Limited Partner's
selling agent is responsible for determining if the Units are a suitable
investment for the investor. At an absolute minimum, investors must have (i) a
net worth of at least $150,000 (exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles)

calculated above) of at least $45,000. No one may invest more than 10% of his
net worth (as calculated above) in the Partnership. THESE STANDARDS (AND THE
ADDITIONAL STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO RESIDENTS OF CERTAIN STATES AS SET FORTH
UNDER "EXHIBIT C -- SUBSCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS" HEREIN) ARE REGULATORY MINIMUMS
ONLY. QUALIFICATION UNDER SUCH STANDARDS DOES NOT NECESSARILY IMPLY THAT AN
INVESTMENT IN EACH SERIES IS SUITABLE FOR A PARTICULAR INVESTOR. PROSPECTIVE
LIMITED PARTNERS SHOULD REVIEW EXHIBIT C AND CONSIDER THE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND
ILLIQUID NATURE OF AN INVESTMENT IN EACH SERIES AS WELL AS THE HIGH RISK AND
HIGHLY LEVERAGED NATURE OF THE FUTURES, FORWARD AND RELATED MARKETS IN
DETERMINING WHETHER AN INVESTMENT IN EACH SERIES IS CONSISTENT WITH THEIR
OVERALL PORTFOLIO OBJECTIVES.
THE SELLING AGENTS
The selling agents, the broker-dealers who offer the Units, offer the Units
on a best efforts basis without any firm underwriting commitment. Each Series
and Quadriga Capital Management may retain additional selling agents. The
selling agents, including Quadriga Asset Management, an affiliate of Quadriga
Capital Management, and certain foreign dealers who may elect to participate in
the offering, are bound by their respective Selling Agreements with each Series.
Quadriga Asset Management and any additional selling agents will receive
collectively 4% from the proceeds of the offering with respect to any Units they
sell. Other than as described above, Quadriga Capital Management will pay no
person any commissions or other fees in connection with the solicitation of
purchases for Units. In the Selling Agreement with each selling agent, Quadriga
Capital Management has agreed to indemnify the selling agents against certain
liabilities that the selling agents may incur in connection with the offering
and sale of the Units, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended. Units will be sold on a continuing basis at the net asset value per
Unit as of the end of each month.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Partners
Quadriga Superfund, L.P. -- Series A and B:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of

schedules of investments as of December 31, 2002, and the related statements of
operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the period from November 5,
2002 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2002. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Quadriga Superfund,
L.P. -- Series A and Series B as of December 31, 2002, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the period from November 5, 2002 (commencement

principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P. -- SERIES A AND SERIES B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Quadriga Superfund, L.P. (the "Fund"), a Delaware Limited Partnership,
commenced operations on November 5, 2002. The Fund was organized to trade
speculatively in the United States of America and International commodity equity
markets using a strategy developed by Quadriga Capital Management, Inc., the
General Partner and Trading Manager of the Fund. The Fund has issued two classes
of Units, Series A and Series B.
The term of the Fund shall continue until December 31, 2050, unless
terminated earlier by the General Partner or by operation of the law or a
decline in the aggregate net assets of such series to less than $500,000.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS IN FUTURES AND FORWARD CONTRACTS
All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes. The commodity
interests are recorded on trade date basis and open contracts are recorded in
the statements of assets and liabilities at fair value on the last business day
of the year, which represents market value for those commodity interests for
which market quotes are readily available.
The average fair value for the period from November 5, 2002 (commencement
of operations) through December 31, 2002 was $28,492 and $80,943 for Series A
and Series B, respectively.
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollar amounts at the year end exchange rates. Purchases and sales of
investments, and income and expenses, that are denominated in foreign
currencies, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the transaction date.
Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the
statements of operations.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising
from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from
fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such
fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the statements of
operations.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Interest
is recognized on the accrual basis.
INCOME TAXES
The Fund is not liable for any federal income taxes and thus, no provision
has been made. All items of income and expense flow through to the individual
partners.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the
General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
disclosed in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
F-9
QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P. -- SERIES A AND SERIES B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
3. DUE FROM BROKERS
Amounts due from brokers may be restricted to the extent that they serve as
deposits for securities sold short.
In the normal course of business, all of the Fund's securities
transactions, money balances and security positions are transacted with brokers.
The Fund is subject to credit risk to the extent any broker with which it
conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf.
The General Partner monitors the financial condition of such brokers and does
not anticipate any losses from these counterparties.
4. ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS AND LOSSES
In accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement, net profits and
losses of the Fund are allocated to partners according to their respective
interests in the Fund as of the beginning of each month.
Advance capital contributions represent cash received prior to December 31,
2002 for January contributions of the subsequent year and do not participate in
the earnings of the Fund until January 1, 2003.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement, Quadriga Capital
Management, Inc., the General Partner shall be paid a monthly management fee
equal to one-twelfth of 1.85% (1.85% per annum), a monthly organization and
offering fee equal to one-twelfth of 1% (1% per annum), monthly operating
expenses equal to one-twelfth of .15% (.15% per annum), and selling commissions
equal to one-twelfth of 4% (4% per annum), of the month end net asset value of
the Fund.
The General Partner will also be paid a monthly performance/incentive fee
equal to 25% of the new appreciation without respect to interest income. Trading
losses will be carried forward and no further performance/incentive fee may be
paid until the prior losses have been recovered.
6. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

operations) through December 31, 2002 are as follows:

QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P. -- SERIES A AND SERIES B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Financial highlights are calculated for each series taken as a whole. An
individual partner's return and ratios may vary based on the timing of capital
transactions.
7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK
In the normal course of its business the Fund is party to financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial
instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments
may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are based upon an
underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future
commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other
financial instruments at specific terms at specific future dates, or, in the
case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be
settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument.
These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter ("OTC").
Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain
option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and
include forwards and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to
various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments
including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC
contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments
because of the greater risk of default by the counter party to an OTC contract.
Market risks is the potential for changes in the value of the financial
instruments traded by the Fund due to market changes, including interest and
foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity of security
prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the
markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of
a counter party to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk
with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an
exchange or clearing organization acts as a counter party to the transactions.
The Fund's risk of loss in the event of counter party default is typically
limited to the amounts recognized in the statements of assets and liabilities
and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The
Fund has credit risk and concentration risk because the brokers with respect to
the Fund's assets are ADM Investor Services Inc., FIMAT USA Inc., and Man
Financial.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Fund's risk exposure on a
daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems,
and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and
limiting the credit and market risks to which the Fund is subject. These
monitoring systems allow the Fund's General Partner to statistically analyze
actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation
statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of
futures and forward positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss
transactions and collateral positions.
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of December 31,
2002. However, due to the nature of the Fund's business, these instruments may
not be held to maturity.
8. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
Investors must submit subscriptions at least five business days prior to
the applicable month-end closing date and they will be accepted once payments
are received and cleared. All subscriptions funds are required to be promptly
transmitted to HSBC Bank USA (the "Escrow Agent"). Subscriptions must be
accepted or rejected by Quadriga Capital Management, Inc. within five business
days of receipt, and the settlement date for the deposit of subscription funds
in escrow must be within five business days of acceptance. No fees or costs will
be assessed on any subscription while held in escrow, irrespective of whether
the subscription is accepted or subscription funds returned. The Escrow Agent
will invest the subscription funds in short-term United States Treasury bills or
comparable authorized instruments while held in escrow.
F-11
QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P. -- SERIES A AND SERIES B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
A limited partner of a Series may request any or all of his investment in
such Series be redeemed by such Series at the net asset value of a Unit within
such Series as of the end of the month, subject to a minimum redemption of
$1,000 and subject further to such limited partner having an investment in such
Series, after giving effect to the requested redemption, at least equal to the
minimum initial investment amount of $5,000. Limited partners must transmit a
written request of such withdrawal to Quadriga Capital Management, Inc. not less
than ten business days prior to the end of the month (or such shorter period as
permitted by Quadriga Capital Management, Inc.) as of which redemption is to be
effective. Redemptions will generally be paid within 20 days after the date of
redemption. However, in special circumstances, including, but not limited to,
inability to liquidate dealers' positions as of a redemption date or default or
delay in payments due to each Series from clearing brokers, banks or other
persons or entities, each Series may in turn delay payment to persons requesting
redemption of the proportionate part of the net assets of each Series
represented by the sums that are subject of such default or delay.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
For January 2003 and February 2003, the Fund received capital contributions
of approximately $2,203,000 in Series A and $2,796,000 in Series B.

QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P., SERIES A AND SERIES B
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Quadriga Superfund, L.P. (the "Fund"), a Delaware Limited Partnership,
commenced operations on November 5, 2002. The Fund was organized to trade
speculatively in the United States of America and International commodity equity
markets using a strategy developed by Quadriga Capital Management, Inc., the
General Partner and Trading Manager of the Fund. The Fund has issued two classes
of Units, Series A and Series B.
The term of the Fund shall continue until December 31, 2050, unless
terminated earlier by the General Partner or by operation of the law or a
decline in the aggregate net assets of such series to less than $500,000.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") with
respect to the Form 10-Q and reflect all adjustments which in the opinion of
management are normal and recurring, which are necessary for a fair statement of
the results of interim periods presented. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related
notes included in the Fund's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS IN FUTURES AND FORWARD CONTRACTS
All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes. The commodity
interests are recorded on trade date basis and open contracts are recorded in
the statements of assets and liabilities at fair value on the last business day
of the year, which represents market value for those commodity interests for
which market quotes are readily available.
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollar amounts at the year end exchange rates. Purchases and sales of
investments, and income and expenses, that are denominated in foreign
currencies, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the transaction date.
Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the
statements of operations.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising
from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from
fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such
fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the statements of
operations.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Interest
is recognized on the accrual basis.
INCOME TAXES
The Fund does not record a provision for income taxes because the partners
report their share of the Fund's income or loss on their returns. The financial
statements reflect the Fund's transactions without adjustment, if any, required
for income tax purposes.
F-23
QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P., SERIES A AND SERIES B
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the
General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
disclosed in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
3. DUE FROM BROKERS
Amounts due from brokers may be restricted to the extent that they serve as
deposits for securities sold short.
In the normal course of business, all of the Fund's securities
transactions, money balances and security positions are transacted with brokers.
The Fund is subject to credit risk to the extent any broker with which it
conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf.
The General Partner monitors the financial condition of such brokers and does
not anticipate any losses from these counterparties.
4. ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS AND LOSSES
In accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement, net profits and
losses of the Fund are allocated to partners according to their respective
interests in the Fund as of the beginning of each month.
Advance capital contributions represent cash received prior to March 31,
2003 for April contributions and do not participate in the earnings of the Fund
until April 1, 2003.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement, Quadriga Capital
Management, Inc., the General Partner, shall be paid a monthly management fee
equal to one-twelfth of 1.85% (1.85% per annum), a monthly organization and
offering fee equal to one-twelfth of 1% (1% per annum) and monthly operating
expenses equal to one-twelfth of .15% (.15% per annum). In accordance with the
Prospectus dated October 31, 2002 Part One-Disclosure Document, Quadriga Asset
Management, Inc,, shall be paid monthly selling commissions equal to one-twelfth
of 4% (4% per annum), of the month end net asset value of the Fund.
The General Partner will also be paid a monthly performance/incentive fee
equal to 25% of the new appreciation without respect to interest income. Trading
losses will be carried forward and no further performance/incentive fee may be
paid until the prior losses have been recovered.

</Table>
Financial highlights are calculated for each series taken as a whole. An
individual partner's return and ratios may vary based on the timing of capital
transactions.
7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK
In the normal course of its business the Fund is party to financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial
instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments
may include forwards, futures and options, whose values are based upon an
underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future
commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other
financial instruments at specific terms at specific future dates, or, in the
case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be
settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument.
These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter ("OTC").
Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain
option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and
include forwards and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to
various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments
including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC
contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments
because of the greater risk of default by the counter party to an OTC contract.
Market risks is the potential for changes in the value of the financial
instruments traded by the Fund due to market changes, including interest and
foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity of security
prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the
markets in which the related underlying assets are traded.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of
a counter party to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk
with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the
F-25
QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P., SERIES A AND SERIES B
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counter party to the
transactions. The Fund's risk of loss in the event of counter party default is
typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statements of assets and
liabilities and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the
instruments. The Fund has credit risk and concentration risk because the brokers
with respect to the Fund's assets are ADM Investor Services Inc., FIMAT USA
Inc., and Man Financial.
The General Partner monitors and controls the Fund's risk exposure on a
daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems,
and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and
limiting the credit and market risks to which the Fund is subject. These
monitoring systems allow the Fund's General Partner to statistically analyze
actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation
statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of
futures and forward positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss
transactions and collateral positions.
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of March 31, 2003.
However, due to the nature of the Fund's business, these instruments may not be
held to maturity.
8. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
Investors must submit subscriptions at least five business days prior to
the applicable month-end closing date and they will be accepted once payments
are received and cleared. All subscriptions funds are required to be promptly
transmitted to HSBC Bank USA (the "Escrow Agent"). Subscriptions must be
accepted or rejected by Quadriga Capital Management, Inc. within five business
days of receipt, and the settlement date for the deposit of subscription funds
in escrow must be within five business days of acceptance. No fees or costs will
be assessed on any subscription while held in escrow, irrespective of whether
the subscription is accepted or subscription funds returned. The Escrow Agent
will invest the subscription funds in short-term United States Treasury bills or
comparable authorized instruments while held in escrow.
A limited partner of a Series may request any or all of his investment in
such Series be redeemed by such Series at the net asset value of a Unit within
such Series as of the end of the month, subject to a minimum redemption of
$1,000 and subject further to such limited partner having an investment in such
Series, after giving effect to the requested redemption, at least equal to the
minimum initial investment amount of $5,000. Limited partners must transmit a
written request of such withdrawal to Quadriga Capital Management, Inc. not less
than ten business days prior to the end of the month (or such shorter period as
permitted by Quadriga Capital Management, Inc.) as of which redemption is to be
effective. Redemptions will generally be paid within 20 days after the date of
redemption. However, in special circumstances, including, but not limited to,
inability to liquidate dealers' positions as of a redemption date or default or
delay in payments due to each Series from clearing brokers, banks or other
persons or entities, each Series may in turn delay payment to persons requesting
redemption of the proportionate.
9. POSSIBLE CONTINGENT LIABILITY
On January 10, 2003 Quadriga Capital Management on behalf of the Fund filed
a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission which amended the Plan of Distribution.
Before such amendment had been declared effective, as of June 30, 2003 the Fund
had sold a total of 5,640 units of Series A in the principal amount of $6.74
million and 8,224 units of Series B in the principal amount of $10.73 million.
Quadriga Capital Management and the Fund may be subject to potential claims for
rescission from investors and regulatory or enforcement action for any sales of
Units made without an effective Registration Statement. As a regulated company,
Quadriga Capital Management faces potential liability in the normal cause of its
business from any administrative action or in any situation in which it is found
to have engaged in activities which violate applicable law. Quadriga Capital
Management is unable to estimate the probability of assertion of any related
claims or assessments.

(1) GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies which have been followed
in preparing the accompanying financial statements is set forth below:
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Quadriga Capital Management Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Grenada,

4. POSSIBLE CONTINGENT LIABILITY
On January 10, 2003 Quadriga Capital Management on behalf of Quadriga
Superfund (the Fund) filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission which amended the
Plan of Distribution. Before such amendment had been declared effective, as of
June 30, 2003 the Fund had sold a total of 5,640 units of Series A in the
principal amount of $6.74 million and 8,224 units of Series B in the principal
amount of $10.73 million. Quadriga Capital Management and the Fund may be
subject to potential claims for rescission from investors and regulatory or
enforcement action for any sales of Units made without an effective Registration

liability in the normal cause of its business from any administrative action or
in any situation in which it is found to have engaged in activities which
violate applicable law. Quadriga Capital Management is unable to estimate the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Quadriga Partners, LP (the "Fund") was organized for the purpose of
investing in global futures and equities markets. The Fund is registered with
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the National Futures Association as
a commodity pool.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS IN FUTURES AND FORWARD CONTRACTS
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities," the Fund records its open
contracts at the closing market quotations on the last business day of the year.
The resulting change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period
is reflected in the statement of operations for the year.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES AND SECURITIES SOLD SHORT
The Fund values investments in securities and securities sold short that
are listed on a national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national
market at their last sales price as of the last business day of the year. Other
securities traded in the over the counter markets and listed for which no sale
was reported on that date are valued at their last reported "bid" price if held
long, and last reported "asked" price if sold short. Short-term notes are stated
at amortized cost, which approximates fair value
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollar amounts at the year end exchange rates. Purchases and sales of
investments, and income and expenses, that are denominated in foreign
currencies, are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the transaction date.
Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the
statement of operations.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Interest
is recognized on the accrual basis.
INCOME TAXES
The Fund does not record a provision for income taxes because the partners
report their share of the Fund's income or loss on their income tax returns. The
financial statements reflect the Fund's transactions without adjustment, if any,
required for income tax purposes.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the
General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
disclosed in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
2. DUE FROM BROKERS
Amounts due from brokers may be restricted to the extent that they serve as
deposits for securities sold short.
In the normal course of business, all of the Fund's securities
transactions, money balances and security positions are transacted with brokers.
The Fund is subject to credit risk to the extent any broker with which it
F-44
QUADRIGA PARTNERS, LP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf.
The General Partner monitors the financial condition of such brokers and does
not anticipate any losses from these counterparties.
3. ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS AND LOSSES
In accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement, net profits and
losses of the Fund are allocated to partners according to their respective
interests in the Fund. Subject to certain limitations, a portion of net profits
allocated to certain limited partners is reallocated to the General Partner.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner
has the right to receive a management fee of .5% (2% per annum) of the net asset
value of the Fund at the beginning of each fiscal quarter, payable in advance.
5. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

and high liquidity for order execution.

Positions are initiated using a proprietary technical algorithm that
attempts to predict price trends in advance. Most systematic trend following
systems employ technical indicators such as moving averages or bollinger bands
to identify trending markets. Quadriga believes the key to using such indicators
successfully lies in the way they are interrelated and applied in combination.
36
TREND FOLLOWING
At present, Quadriga's trading strategy is based on short and midterm time
horizons. One key to Quadriga's past success is to limit drawdowns by daily
maintenance of stop orders. In this way, if a trend reverses Quadriga's loss is
theoretically limited, while if a trend continues Quadriga's profits are
theoretically protected. By this measure, Quadriga seeks to optimize winning
trades.

MONEY MANAGEMENT
Risk management plays a key role in Quadriga's investment strategy.
Quadriga's proprietary program limits initial risk per trade to a theoretical
maximum of 1.5 percent of total funds assets. In addition, the system
continuously screens volatility and adjusts portfolio exposure accordingly.

DIVERSIFICATION EFFECT
The chart above shows the effect of allocating increasing percentages of
the Quadriga AG Fund into a portfolio consisting of the S&P 500 and MSCI World
Indices. Beginning with a 5 percent allocation of Quadriga AG Fund into a
portfolio and increasing increments of 5 percent, the chart shows hypothetical
returns to standard deviation (a measure of risk). As the allocation of Quadriga
AG Fund increased to 20 percent, the performance of the portfolio increased and
the standard deviation, or volatility, decreased. Therefore, the optimal
percentage allocation to such a hypothetical portfolio would be approximately 20
percent.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The

PORTFOLIO EFFICIENCY
The achievement of improved investment quality is substantiated by an
extensive bank of academic research, beginning with the landmark study of Dr.
John Lintner of Harvard University. He wrote that "the combined portfolios of
stocks, after including judicious investments . . . in leveraged managed futures
accounts show substantially less risk at every possible level of expected return
than portfolios of stocks alone."

COMMENTS
The table above captures the performance for various indices or asset
categories on an annualized basis. It also illustrates that performance can vary
significantly over a period of time. While there is no guarantee of continued
performance in one index or fund, the combination of various asset classes in a
portfolio can potentially achieve greater returns and lower risk. The Quadriga
Superfund Limited Partnership is intended as a medium- to long-term investment.

WHY QUADRIGA
WHY A MANAGED FUTURES FUND?
Managed futures investments are intended to generate long-term capital
growth by providing global portfolio diversification. This diversification can
be utilized by investing in Quadriga Superfund. A primary reason to invest in a
managed futures (alternative investment) product, such as Quadriga Superfund, is
to provide a fully diversified portfolio of investments that has the potential
to improve returns while protecting against risk. This is possible because
managed futures (alternative investment) products historically have not been
correlated to traditional markets, such as stocks and bonds.
WHY QUADRIGA SUPERFUND?
Quadriga has a proven track record of performance for the past six years.
The funds trade more than 100 futures markets and 1200 equities markets
worldwide using a proprietary trading system designed and developed by its
founders. Quadriga's funds have consistently produced double-digit returns, even
during down markets, due to diversified trades and the ability to spot trends,
while insuring strict risk controls are always in place.
WHY NOW?
The recent fluctuation in world markets has proven that long-only equity
portfolios cannot make money during downward cycles. For continued portfolio
performance, a fund that hedges its trades is the only way to limit losses and
insure gains in any economic environment.
HISTORICAL NON CORRELATED PERFORMANCE
Historically, managed futures investments have had very little correlation
to the stock and bond markets. While there is no guarantee of positive
performance in a managed futures component of a portfolio, the non-correlation
characteristic of managed futures can improve risk adjusted returns in a
diversified investment portfolio. Having the ability to go long and short gives
managed futures the ability to profit from up or down markets. In other words,
profit or loss in managed future funds is not dependent on economic cycles.
GLOSSARY
QUADRIGA SUPERFUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Quadriga Superfund has two series of units, Series A and Series B. Series A
has a strategy similar to the Quadriga AG Fund, which has a Global Macro trading
strategy and a six year track record. Series B has a strategy similar to the
Quadriga GCT fund, which employs more leverage than the AG Fund, and has a
Managed Futures trading strategy.
QUADRIGA AG
QAG is the group's flagship product and was introduced to the retail
investor in Europe on March 8th, 1996. This product is not available for US
investors.
QUADRIGA GCT
Q-GCT is the more aggressive fund strategy and was introduced on January 4,
2000 to investors. This product is not available for US investors.

AGGREGATE SUBSCRIPTIONS
Total gross capital subscriptions made to a pool or account from inception
through the date indicated.
DRAWDOWN
Losses experienced by a pool or account over a specified period.
WORST MONTH PEAK-TO-VALLEY DRAWDOWN
Greatest cumulative percentage decline in month-end net asset value due to
losses sustained by a pool or account during any period in which the initial
month-end net asset value is not equaled or exceeded by a subsequent month-end
net asset value.
MAR FUND/POOL QUALIFIED UNIVERSE INDEX
A dollar weighted index that includes the performance of current, as well
as, retired public futures funds, private pools and offshore funds that have the
objective of speculative trading profits. The MAR Index is utilized as a broad
measure of overall managed futures returns, as compared to other indices that
measure the overall returns of stocks and bonds as separate asset classes. The
MAR Index is not the same as an investment in the Fund, and the Fund may perform
quite differently than the Index, just as an individual stock may perform quite
differently from the S&P 500 Index.
MSCI WORLD INDEX
The MSCI World Index consists of more than 1,500 stocks in 23 countries
globally and represents approximately 85 percent of the total market
capitalization in those countries.
NASDAQ COMPOSITE INDEX
The National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation is an
electronic-over the counter exchange. Unlike the NYSE auction market where
orders meet on a trading floor, NASDAQ orders are paired and executed on a
computer network.
NET ASSET VALUE
Net Asset Value of each Series B is that Series' assets less liabilities
determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.
STANDARD & POOR'S 500 COMPOSITE STOCK INDEX (S&P 500 INDEX)
A capitalization weighted index of 500 stocks. The Standard and Poor 500
Index represents the price trend movements of the major common stock of U.S.
public companies. It is used to measure the performance of the entire U.S.
domestic stock market.
LEHMAN BROTHERS GOVERNMENT BOND INDEX

THE FUTURES AND FORWARD MARKETS
FUTURES CONTRACTS
Futures contracts are standardized agreements traded on commodity exchanges
that call for the future delivery of the commodity or financial instrument at a
specified time and place. A futures trader that enters
46
into a contract to take delivery of the underlying commodity is "long" the
contract, or has "bought" the contract. A trader that is obligated to make
delivery is "short" the contract or has "sold" the contract. Actual delivery on
the contract rarely occurs. Futures traders usually offset (liquidate) their
contract obligations by entering into equal but offsetting futures positions.
For example, a trader who is long one September Treasury bond contract on the
Chicago Board of Trade can offset the obligation by entering into a short
position in a September Treasury bond contract on that exchange. Futures
positions that have not yet been liquidated are known as "open" contracts or
positions. Futures contracts are traded on a wide variety of commodities,
including agricultural products, metals, livestock products, government
securities, currencies and stock market indices. Options on futures contracts
are also traded on U.S. commodity exchanges. Each Series concentrates its
futures trading in the U.S. and international futures and equity markets.
FORWARD CONTRACTS
Currencies and other commodities may be purchased or sold for future
delivery or cash settlement through banks or dealers pursuant to forward or swap
contracts. Currencies also can be traded pursuant to futures contracts on
organized futures exchanges; however, Quadriga Capital Management will use the
dealer market in foreign exchange contracts for most of each Series' trading in
currencies. Such dealers will act as "principals" in these transactions and will
include their profit in the price quoted on the contracts. Unlike futures
contracts, foreign exchange contracts are not standardized. In addition, the
forward market is largely unregulated. Forward contracts are not "cleared" or
guaranteed by a third party. Thus, each Series is subject to the
creditworthiness of the foreign exchange dealer with whom it maintains all
assets and positions relating to each Series' forward contract investments.
There also is no daily settlement of unrealized gains or losses on open foreign
exchange contracts as there is with futures contracts on U.S. exchanges.
SWAP TRANSACTIONS
Each Series may periodically enter into transactions in the forward or
other markets which could be characterized as swap transactions and which may
involve interest rates, currencies, securities interests, commodities and other
items. A swap transaction is an individually negotiated, non-standardized
agreement between two parties to exchange cash flows measured by different
interest rates, exchange rates, or prices, with payments calculated by reference
to a principal ("notional") amount or quantity. Transactions in these markets
present certain risks similar to those in the futures, forward and options
markets: (1) the swap markets are generally not regulated by any United States
or foreign governmental authorities; (2) there are generally no limitations on
daily price moves in swap transactions; (3) speculative position limits are not
applicable to swap transactions, although the counterparties with which each
Series may deal may limit the size or duration of positions available as a
consequence of credit considerations; (4) participants in the swap markets are
not required to make continuous markets in swaps contracts; and (5) the swap
markets are "principal markets," in which performance with respect to a swap
contract is the responsibility only of the counterparty with which the trader
has entered into a contract (or its guarantor, if any), and not of any exchange
or clearinghouse. As a result, each Series will be subject to the risk of the
inability of or refusal to perform with respect to such contracts on the part of
the counterparties with which each Series trades. The CFTC has adopted Part 35
to its Rules which provides non-exclusive safe harbor treatment from regulations
under the Commodity Exchange Act as amended for swap transactions which meet
certain specified criteria, over which the CFTC will not exercise its
jurisdiction and regulate as futures or commodity option transactions.
Notwithstanding the CFTC's position, the CFTC or a court could conclude in the
future that certain swap transactions entered into by each Series constitute
unauthorized futures or commodity option contracts subject to the CFTC's
jurisdiction or attempt to prohibit each Series from engaging in such
transactions. If each Series were restricted in its ability to trade in the swap
markets, the activities of Quadriga Capital Management, to the extent that it
trades in such markets on behalf of each Series, might be materially affected.
47
REGULATION
The U.S. futures markets are regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act,
which is administered by the CFTC, a federal agency created in 1974. The CFTC
licenses and regulates commodity exchanges, commodity pool operators, commodity
trading advisors and clearing firms which are referred to in the futures
industry as "futures commission merchants." Quadriga Capital Management is
registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator. Futures professionals are
also regulated by the NFA, a self-regulatory organization for the futures
industry that supervises the dealings between futures professionals and their
customers. If the pertinent CFTC licenses or NFA memberships were to lapse, be
suspended or be revoked, Quadriga Capital Management would be unable to act as
each Series' commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor. The CFTC has
adopted disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for commodity pool
operators and disclosure and recordkeeping requirements for commodity trading
advisors. The reporting rules require pool operators to furnish to the
participants in their pools a monthly statement of account, showing the pool's
income or loss and change in net asset value, and an annual financial report,
audited by an independent certified public accountant. The CFTC and the
exchanges have pervasive powers over the futures markets, including the
emergency power to suspend trading and order trading for liquidation of existing
positions only. The exercise of such powers could adversely affect each Series'
trading. The CFTC does not regulate forward contracts. Federal and state banking
authorities also do not regulate forward trading or forward dealers. Trading in
foreign currency futures contracts may be less liquid and each Series' trading
results may be adversely affected.
MARGIN
In order to establish and maintain a futures position, a trader must make a
type of good-faith deposit with its broker, known as "margin," of approximately
2%-10% of contract value. Minimum margins are established for each futures
contract by the exchange on which the contract is traded. The exchanges alter
their margin requirements from time to time, sometimes significantly. For their
protection, clearing brokers may require higher margins from their customers
than the exchange minimums. Margin also is deposited in connection with forward
contracts but is not required by any applicable regulation. There are two types
of margin. "Initial" margin is the amount a trader is required to deposit with
its broker to open a futures position. The other type of margin is "maintenance"
margin. When the contract value of a trader's futures position falls below a
certain percentage, typically about 75%, of its value when the trader
established the position, the trader is required to deposit additional margin in
an amount equal to the loss in value.
ADVANTAGES OF FUTURES FUND INVESTMENTS
Both the futures and forward markets and funds investing in those markets
offer many structural advantages that make managed futures an efficient way to
participate in global markets.
PROFIT POTENTIAL
Futures, forwards and options contracts can easily be leveraged, which
magnifies the potential profit and loss. As a result of this leveraging, even a
small movement in the price of a contract can cause major losses.
100% INTEREST CREDIT
Unlike some alternative investment funds, each Series does not borrow money
in order to obtain leverage, so each Series does not incur any interest expense.
Rather, each Series' margin deposits are maintained in cash equivalents, such as
U.S. Treasury bills, and interest is earned on 100% of each Series' available
assets, which include unrealized profits credited to each Series' accounts.
GLOBAL DIVERSIFICATION WITHIN A SINGLE INVESTMENT
Futures and related contracts can be traded in many countries, which makes
it possible to diversify risk around the globe. This diversification is
available both geographically and across market sectors. For example,
48
an investor can trade interest rates, stock indices and currencies in several
countries around the world, as well as energy and metals. While each Series
itself trades across a diverse selection of global markets, an investment in
each Series is not a substitute for overall portfolio diversification.
ABILITY TO PROFIT OR LOSE IN A RISING OR FALLING MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Each Series can establish short positions and thereby profit from declining
markets as easily as it can establish long positions. This potential to make
money, whether markets are rising or falling around the globe, makes managed
futures particularly attractive to sophisticated investors. Of course, if
markets go higher while an investor has a short position, he will lose money
until the short position is exited.
PROFESSIONAL TRADING
Quadriga Capital Management's approach includes the following elements:
- Disciplined Money Management. Quadriga Capital Management generally
allocates between 0.6% to 0.8% of portfolio equity to any single market
position with a maximum risk of 1% to 1.5% from initial risk. However, no
guarantee is provided that losses will be limited to these percentages.
- Balanced Risk. Quadriga Capital Management will allocate each Series'
capital to more than 100 markets around the world 24 hours a day. Among
the factors considered for determining the portfolio mix are market
volatility, liquidity and trending characteristics.
- Capital Management. When proprietary risk/reward indicators reach
predetermined levels, Quadriga Capital Management may increase or
decrease commitments in certain markets in an attempt to reduce
performance volatility.
- Multiple Systems. While Quadriga Capital Management's approach is to
find emerging trends and follow them to conclusion, no one system is
right all of the time. Quadriga Capital Management utilizes a
multi-system strategy on behalf of each Series that divides capital among
different trading systems in an attempt to reduce performance volatility.
CONVENIENCE
Through each Series, investors can participate in global markets and
opportunities without needing to master complex trading strategies and monitor
multiple international markets.
LIQUIDITY
In most cases the underlying markets have sufficient liquidity. Some
markets trade 24 hours on business days. While there can be cases where there
may be no buyer or seller for a particular market, each Series tries to select
markets for investment based upon, among other things, their perceived
liquidity. Exchanges impose limits on the amount that a futures price can move
in one day. Situations in which markets have moved the limit for several days in
a row have not been common, but do occur. See "The Risks You Face -- Illiquidity
of Your Investment." Also, investors may redeem all or a portion of their units
on a monthly basis. See "Distributions and Redemptions."
LIMITED LIABILITY
Investors' liability is limited to the amount of their investment in each
Series. Investors will not be required to contribute additional capital to each
Series.
49
POTENTIAL DISADVANTAGES OF FUTURES FUND INVESTMENTS
Some potential disadvantages of investing in futures and forward markets
and funds investing in those markets include the following:
LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION
Because a single advisor fund does not allocate its assets among a group of
advisors, such fund is less likely to achieve the potential benefits derived
from diversification in trading strategies and markets associated with a
multi-advisor fund or available to an investor that makes its own allocation
decisions.
SELECTION OF BROKERS AND CLEARING FIRM
The manager of a futures fund typically selects the brokers and clearing
firm or firms whose services the fund will utilize and investors in the fund are
not consulted in such decision. As a result, investors are not able to evaluate
competing brokers and clearing firms and select those they feel most
satisfactorily suits their requirements.
POTENTIALLY HIGHER FEES
A futures fund typically incurs various fees and expenses not associated
with separate managed accounts. Organization and offering expenses and selling
expenses are not generally incurred in managed accounts. As a result, investors
in such funds must realize a greater gross return from the fund in order to net
the same effective return after allowing for such expenses.
LACK OF TRANSPARENCY
Clearing brokers produce daily and monthly statements for accounts they
carry. Such information is not directly available to investors in a futures fund
and, consequently, such investors do not have access to the same degree of
information regarding trading activity that holders of separately managed
accounts do.

EXHIBIT A
QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P.
FORM OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
This Limited Partnership Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of August
5, 2002, by and among Quadriga Capital Management, Inc., a Grenada corporation
(the "General Partner") and each other party who becomes a party to this Limited
Partnership Agreement as an owner of a unit ("Unit") of beneficial interest in a
series ("Series") created hereunder and who is shown on the books and records of
such Series as a Limited Partner (individually, a "Limited Partner" and
collectively, the "Limited Partners").
1. Formation; Name. The parties to this Agreement hereby form a limited
partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as
amended and in effect on the date of this Agreement (the "Act"). The name of the
limited partnership is Quadriga Superfund, L.P. (the "Partnership"). The General
Partner will execute and file a Certificate of Limited Partnership of the
Partnership (the "Certificate of Limited Partnership") in the form attached
hereto as Appendix 1 and in accordance with the Act, and will execute, file,
record and publish as appropriate such amendments, assumed name certificates and
other documents as are or become necessary or advisable in connection with the
operation of the Partnership, as determined by the General Partner, and will
take all steps which the General Partner may deem necessary or advisable to
allow the Partnership to conduct business as a limited partnership where the
Partnership conducts business in any jurisdiction, and to otherwise provide that
Limited Partners will have limited liability with respect to the activities of
the Partnership in all such jurisdictions, and to comply with the law of any
jurisdiction. Each Limited Partner hereby undertakes to furnish to the General
Partner a power of attorney and such additional information as the General
Partner may request to complete such documents and to execute and cooperate in
the filing, recording or publishing of such documents as the General Partner
determines appropriate.
2. (a) Units of Limited Partnership. The beneficial interest in the
Partnership shall be divided into an unlimited number of Units. The General
Partner may, from time to time, authorize the division of the Units into one or
more Series as provided in Section 2(b) below. All Units issued hereunder shall
be fully paid and nonassessable. The General Partner in its discretion may, from
time to time, without vote of the Limited Partners, issue Units, in addition to
the then issued and outstanding Units, to such party or parties and for such
amount and type of consideration, subject to applicable law, including cash or
securities, at such time or times and on such terms as the General Partner may
deem appropriate, and may in such manner acquire other assets (including the
acquisition of assets subject to, and in connection with, the assumption of
liabilities) and businesses. In connection with any issuance of Units, the
General Partner may issue fractional Units. The General Partner may from time to
time divide or combine the Units into a greater or lesser number without thereby
changing the proportionate beneficial interests in a particular Series.
Contributions to a Series of the Partnership may be accepted for, and Units of
such Series shall be redeemed as, whole Units and/or 1/1,000 of a Unit or
integral multiples thereof.
(b) Creation of Series. The Partnership shall consist of one or more
separate and distinct Series as contemplated by Section 17-218 of the Act.
The General Partner hereby establishes and designates the following Series:
"Quadriga Superfund, L.P. Series A" ("Series A") and "Quadriga Superfund,
L.P. Series B" ("Series B") (each, a "Series"). Any additional Series
created hereunder shall be established by the adoption of a resolution by
the General Partner and shall be effective upon the date stated therein
(or, if no such date is stated, upon the date of such adoption). The Units
of each Series shall have the relative rights and preferences provided for
herein and such rights as may be designated by the General Partner. The
General Partner shall cause separate and distinct records for each Series
to be maintained and the Partnership shall hold and account for the assets
belonging thereto separately from the other Partnership property and the
assets belonging to any other Series. Each Unit of a Series shall represent
an equal beneficial interest in the net assets belonging to that Series.
Unless the establishing resolution or
A-1
any other resolution adopted pursuant to this Section 2(b) otherwise
provides, Units of each Series established hereunder shall have the
following relative rights and preferences:
(i) Limited Partners of a Series shall have no preemptive or other
right to subscribe to any additional Units in such Series or other
securities issued by the Partnership.
(ii) All consideration received by the Partnership for the issue or
sale of the Units within a Series, together with all assets in which
such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings,
profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived form the
sale, exchange, or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments
derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same
may be, shall be held and accounted for separately from the other assets
of the Partnership and of every other Series and may be referred to
herein as "assets belonging to" that Series or the "Series Estate". The
assets belonging to a particular Series shall belong to that Series for
all purposes, and to no other Series, subject only to the rights of
creditors of that Series. In addition, any assets, income, earnings,
profits, or payments and proceeds with respect thereto, which are not
readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series shall be
allocated by the General Partner between and among one or more of the
Series for all purposes and such assets, income, earnings, profits, or
funds, or payments and proceeds with respect thereto, shall be assets
belonging to that Series.
(iii) A particular Series shall be charged with the liabilities of
that Series, and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable
to any particular Series shall be borne by such Series. Any general
liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Partnership (or
any Series) that are not readily identifiable as chargeable to or
bearable by any particular Series shall be allocated and charged by the
General Partner between or among any one or more of the Series in such
manner as the General Partner in its sole discretion deems fair and
equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Limited Partners for all purposes. Without limitation of the foregoing
provisions of this subsection, the debts, liabilities, obligations and
expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to
a particular Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such
Series only, and not against the assets of the Partnership generally or
the assets belonging to any other Series. Notice of this contractual
limitation on inter-Series liabilities is set forth in the Certificate
of Limited Partnership attached as Appendix 1 hereto, and upon the
giving of such notice in the Certificate of Limited Partnership, the
statutory provisions of Section 17-218 of the Act relating to
limitations on inter-Series liabilities (and the statutory effect under
Section 17-218 setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Limited
Partnership) shall become applicable to the Partnership and each Series.
(c) Creation of Accounts. For the benefit of the Series A Limited
Partners, the General Partner shall establish and maintain a segregated
account entitled "Quadriga Superfund, L.P. Series A Account" (the "Series A
Account"). For the benefit of the Series B Limited Partners, the General
Partner shall establish and maintain a segregated account entitled
"Quadriga Superfund, L.P. Series B Account" (the "Series B Account"). The
General Partner hereby acknowledges that it has deposited the sum of
$1,000.00 in the Series A Account and that it has deposited the sum of
$1,000.00 in the Series B Account. The sums held in the Series A Account
shall be held for the benefit of the Series A Limited Partners and the sums
held in the Series B Account shall be held for the benefit of Series B
Limited Partners and such accounts shall be segregated and separate records
with respect thereto shall be kept for purposes of Section 17-218 of the
Act. The General Partner shall hold, invest and disburse the funds held in
the accounts at its discretion.
(d) Creation of Additional Accounts. The General Partner is
authorized to establish and maintain one or more separate accounts for each
Series (the "Additional Accounts") with such institutions as the General
Partner shall select for the following purposes:
(i) to receive and deposit subscriptions for such Series; and
(ii) to pay Limited Partners for such Series for redemptions of all
or a portion of their Units.
A-2
The General Partner acknowledges that the funds held in any such
Additional Accounts of a Series will be held for that Series only and that
such Additional Accounts should be segregated from other Additional
Accounts and that separate records shall be maintained with respect to each
Additional Account.
(e) Limited Liability of Limited Partners. Each Unit, when purchased
by a Limited Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will
be fully paid and nonassessable. No Limited Partner will be liable for the
Partnership's obligations in excess of that Partner's unredeemed capital
contribution, undistributed profits, if any, and any distributions and
amounts received upon redemption of Units. The Partnership will not make a
claim against a Limited Partner with respect to amounts distributed to that
Partner or amounts received by that Partner upon redemption of Units unless
the Net Assets of the Partnership (which will not include any right of
contribution from the General Partner except to the extent previously made
by it under this Agreement) are insufficient to discharge the liabilities
of the Partnership which have arisen before the payment of these amounts.
3. Principal Office. The address of the principal office of each Series
shall be c/o Quadriga Capital Management, Inc., Le Marquis Complex, Unit 5, P.O.
Box 1479, Grand Anse, St. George's, Grenada, West Indies; telephone (473)
439-2418. The General Partner is located at the same address. Registered Agents
Legal Services, LLC shall receive service of process on each Series of the
Partnership in the State of Delaware at 1220 North Market Street, Suite 606,
Wilmington, Delaware 19801.
4. Business. Each Series' business and purpose is to trade, buy, sell,
swap or otherwise acquire, hold or dispose of commodities (including, but not
limited to, foreign currencies, mortgage-backed securities, money market
instruments, financial instruments, and any other securities or items which are
now, or may hereafter be, the subject of futures contract trading), domestic and
foreign commodity futures contracts, commodity forward contracts, foreign
exchange commitments, options on physical commodities and on futures contracts,
spot (cash) commodities and currencies, securities (such as United States
Treasury securities) approved by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
("CFTC") for investment of customer funds and other securities on a limited
basis, and any rights pertaining thereto and any options thereon, whether traded
on an organized exchange or otherwise, and to engage in all activities
necessary, convenient or incidental thereto. Each Series may also engage in
"hedge," arbitrage and cash trading of any of the foregoing instruments. Each
Series may engage in such business and purpose either directly or through joint
ventures, entities or partnerships, provided that each Series' participation in
any of the foregoing has no adverse economic or liability consequences for the
Limited Partners, which consequences would not be present had each Series
engaged in that same business or purpose directly. The objective of each Series'
business is appreciation of its assets through speculative trading by the
General Partner and independent professional trading advisors ("Advisors")
selected from time to time by the General Partner.
5. Term, Dissolution, Fiscal Year.
(a) Term. The term of Series A and Series B commenced on the day on
which the Certificate of Limited Partnership was filed with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the provisions of the Act and
the term of any Series shall end upon the first to occur of the following:
(1) December 31, 2050;
(2) receipt by the General Partner of an approval to dissolve such
Series at a specified time by Limited Partners owning Units representing
more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Units of such Series
then owned by Limited Partners of such Series, notice of which is sent
by certified mail return receipt requested to the General Partner not
less than 90 days prior to the effective date of such dissolution;
(3) withdrawal, insolvency or dissolution of the General Partner or
any other event that causes the General Partner to cease to be the
General Partner of such Series, unless (i) at the time of such event
there is at least one remaining general partner of such Series who
carries on the business of each Series (and each remaining general
partner of such Series is hereby authorized to carry on the business of
general partner of such Series in such an event), or (ii) within 120
days after such event
A-3
Limited Partners of such Series holding a majority of Units of such
Series agree in writing to continue the business of such Series and to
the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, of one or more
general partners of such Series;
(4) a decline in the aggregate Net Assets of such Series to less
than $500,000 at any time following commencement of trading in such
Series;
(5) dissolution of such Series pursuant hereto; or
(6) any other event which shall make it unlawful for the existence
of such Series to be continued or require termination of such Series.
(b) Dissolution. Upon the occurrence of an event causing the
dissolution of such Series, such Series shall be dissolved and its affairs
wound up. Upon dissolution of a Series, the General Partner, or another
person approved by Limited Partners of a majority of the Units of such
Series, shall act as liquidator trustee.
(c) Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of each Series shall begin on
January 1 of each year and end on the following December 31.
(d) Net Asset Value; Net Asset Value per Unit. The "Net Assets" of
each Series are such Series' assets less such Series' liabilities
determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. If a contract cannot be liquidated on the day with
respect to which Net Assets are being determined, the settlement price on
the first subsequent day on which the contract can be liquidated shall be
the basis for determining the liquidating value of such contract for such
day, or such other value as the General Partner may deem fair and
reasonable. The liquidating value of a commodity futures or option contract
not traded on a commodity exchange shall mean its liquidating value as
determined by the General Partner on a basis consistently applied for each
different variety of contract. Accrued Performance Fees (as described in
the Prospectus defined in Section 9 hereof) shall reduce Net Asset Value,
even though such Performance Fees may never, in fact, be paid. The "Net
Asset Value per Unit" of a Series is the Net Assets of such Series divided
by the number of Units outstanding within such Series as of the date of
determination. Each Series may issue an unlimited number of Units at the
Net Asset Value per Unit.
6. Net Worth of the General Partner. The General Partner agrees that at
all times so long as it remains general partner of a Series, it will maintain
its net worth at an amount not less than 5% of the total contributions to the
Partnership by all Partners and to any other limited partnership for which it
acts as a general partner by all partners; provided, however, that in no event
may the General Partner's net worth be less than $50,000 nor will it be required
to be more than $1,000,000. The requirements of the preceding sentence may be
modified if the General Partner obtains an opinion of counsel for each Series
that a proposed modification will not adversely affect the treatment of such
Series as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and if such modification
will reflect or exceed applicable state securities and Blue Sky laws limitations
and qualify under any guidelines or statements of policy promulgated by any body
or agency constituted by the various state securities administrators having
jurisdiction in the premises.
7. Capital Contributions; Units. The Limited Partners' respective capital
contributions to each Series shall be as shown on the books and records of the
applicable Series. The General Partner, so long as it is general partner of a
Series and so long as it is required to characterize such Series as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes, shall invest in such Series,
sufficient capital so that the General Partner will have at all times a capital
account equal to 1% of the total capital accounts of such Series (including the
General Partner's). The General Partner may withdraw any interest it may have in
such Series in excess of such requirement, and may redeem as of any month-end
any interest which it may acquire on the same terms as any Limited Partner of
such Series, provided that it must maintain the minimum interest in such Series
described in the preceding sentence. The requirements of this Section 7 may be
modified if the General Partner obtains an opinion of counsel for such Series
that a proposed modification will not adversely affect the classification of
such Series as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and if such
modification will reflect or exceed applicable state securities and Blue Sky
laws limitations and qualify under any guidelines or
A-4
statements of policy promulgated by any body or agency constituted by the
various state securities administrators having jurisdiction in the premises. The
General Partner may, without the consent of any Limited Partners of a Series,
admit to such Series purchasers of Units as Limited Partners of each Series. All
Units subscribed for in a Series upon receipt of a check or draft of the Limited
Partner are issued subject to the collection of the funds represented by such
check or draft. In the event a check or draft of a Limited Partner for Units
representing payment for Units in a Series is returned unpaid, such Series shall
cancel the Units issued to such Limited Partner represented by such returned
check or draft. Any losses or profits sustained by a Series in connection with
such Series' commodity trading allocable to such cancelled Units of such Series
shall be deemed an increase or decrease in Net Assets of such Series and
allocated among the remaining Limited Partners within such Series as described
in Section 8. Each Series may require a Limited Partner to reimburse such Series
for any expense or loss (including any trading loss) incurred in connection with
the issuance and cancellation of any Units issued to him or her. Any Units
acquired by the General Partner or any of its affiliates will be non-voting, and
will not be considered "outstanding" for purposes of determining whether the
majority approval of the outstanding Units of a Series has been obtained. Each
Limited Partner of a Unit in a Series shall be deemed a beneficial owner of such
Series within the meaning of the Act.
8. Allocation of Profits and Losses.
(a) Capital Accounts and Allocations. A capital account will be
established for each Partner. The initial balance of each Partner's capital
account will be the amount of a Partner's initial capital contribution to a
Series less, in the case of a Limited Partner, the amount of offering expenses
and selling commissions initially allocable to the Limited Partner's Units, if
any. As of the close of business (as determined by the General Partner) on the
last day of each calendar month ("Determination Date") during each fiscal year
of a Series, the following determinations and allocations will be made
subsequently with respect to each Series:
(i) Net Assets will be determined.
(ii) Accrued monthly management, organization and offering, and
operating fees will then be charged against Net Assets.
(iii) Accrued monthly performance fees, if any, will then be charged
against Net Assets.
(iv) Any increase or decrease in Net Assets (after the adjustments in
subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) above), over those of the immediately
preceding Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Determination
Date, the first closing of the sale of Units to the public), will then be
credited or charged to the capital account of each Partner in the ratio
that the balance of each account bears to the balance of all accounts.
(v) Any accrued interest will be credited to the capital account of
each Partner on a pro rata basis.
(vi) The amount of any distribution to a Partner, any amount paid to a
Partner on redemption of Units and any redemption fee paid to the General
Partner upon the redemption of Units will be charged to that Partner's
capital account.
(b) Allocation of Profit and Loss for Federal Income Tax Purposes. As of
the end of each fiscal year of a Series, the Partnership's realized profit or
loss attributable to that Series will be allocated among the Partners under the
following subparagraphs for federal income tax purposes. These allocations of
profit and loss will be pro rata from net capital gain or loss and net operating
income or loss realized by such Series. For United States federal income tax
purposes, a distinction will be made between net short-term gain or loss and net
long-term gain or loss.
(i) Items of ordinary income (such as interest or credits in lieu of
interest) and expense (such as the management fees, performance fees,
brokerage fees and extraordinary expenses) will be allocated pro rata among
the Partners based on their capital accounts (exclusive of these items of
ordinary income or expense) as of the end of each month in which the items
of ordinary income or expense accrued.
A-5
(ii) Net realized capital gain or loss from the Series' trading
activities will be allocated as follows:
(A) For the purpose of allocating the Series' net realized capital
gain or loss among the Partners, the General Partner will establish an
allocation account with respect to each outstanding Unit. The initial
balance of each allocation account will be the amount paid by the
Partner for the Unit. Allocation accounts will be adjusted as of the end
of each fiscal year and as of the date a Partner completely redeems his
Units as follows:
(1) Each allocation account will be increased by the amount of
income allocated to the holder of the Unit under subparagraph (b)(i)
above and subparagraph (b)(ii)(C) below.
(2) Each allocation account will be decreased by the amount of
expense or loss allocated to the holder of the Unit under
subparagraph (b)(i) above and subparagraph (b)(ii)(E) below and by
the amount of any distribution the holder of the Unit has received
with respect to the Unit (other than on redemption of the Unit).
(3) When a Unit is redeemed, the allocation account with respect
to that Unit will be eliminated.
(B) Net realized capital gain will be allocated first to each
Partner who has partially redeemed his Units during the fiscal year up
to the excess, if any, of the amount received upon redemption of the
Units over the allocation account attributable to the redeemed Units.
(C) Net realized capital gain remaining after the allocation of
that capital gain under subparagraph (b)(ii)(B) above will be allocated
next among all Partners whose capital accounts are in excess of their
Units' allocation accounts (after the adjustments in subparagraph
(b)(ii)(B) above) in the ratio that each such Partner's excess bears to
all such Partners' excesses. If gain to be allocated under this
subparagraph (b)(ii)(C) is greater than the excess of all such Partners'
capital accounts over all such allocation accounts, the excess will be
allocated among all Partners in the ratio that each Partner's capital
account bears to all Partners' capital accounts.
(D) Net realized capital loss will be allocated first to each
Partner who has partially redeemed his Units during the fiscal year up
to the excess, if any, of the allocation account attributable to the
redeemed Units over the amount received upon redemption of the Units.
(E) Net realized capital loss remaining after the allocation of
such capital loss under subparagraph (b)(ii)(D) above will be allocated
next among all Partners whose Units' allocation accounts are in excess
of their capital accounts (after the adjustments in subparagraph
(b)(ii)(D) above) in the ratio that each such Partner's excess bears to
all such Partners' excesses. If loss to be allocated under this
subparagraph (b)(ii)(E) is greater than the excess of all of these
allocation accounts over all such Partners' capital accounts, the excess
loss will be allocated among all Partners in the ratio that each
Partner's capital account bears to all Partners' capital accounts.
(iii) The tax allocations prescribed by this Section 8(b) will be made
to each holder of a Unit whether or not the holder is a substituted Limited
Partner. If a Unit has been transferred or assigned, the allocations
prescribed by this Section 8(b) will be made with respect to such Unit
without regard to the transfer or assignment, except that in the year of
transfer or assignment the allocations prescribed by this Section 8(b) will
be divided between the transferor or assignor and the transferee or
assignee based on the number of months each held the transferred or
assigned Unit. For purposes of this Section 8(b), tax allocations will be
made to the General Partner's Units of General Partnership Interest in a
Series on a Unit-equivalent basis.
(iv) The allocation of profit and loss for federal income tax purposes
set forth in this Agreement is intended to allocate taxable profits and
loss among Partners in a Series generally in the ratio and to the extent
that net profit and net loss are allocated to the Partners under Section
8(a) of this Agreement so as to eliminate, to the extent possible, any
disparity between a Partner's capital account and his allocation account
with respect to each Unit then outstanding, consistent with the principles
set forth in Section 704(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code").
A-6
(c) Performance Fees. Performance Fees shall be payable by a Series to the
General Partner as of the end of each month and upon redemption of Units within
such Series. Performance Fees shall equal a percentage, as specified in the
current prospectus in respect of the Units of a Series of New Appreciation (if
any) calculated as of the end of each month and upon redemption of Units within
such Series. "New Appreciation" shall be the total increase, if any, in Net
Asset Value of a series from the end of the last period for which a performance
fee was earned by the Managing Partner, net of all fees and expenses paid or
accrued by such Series other than the Performance Fee itself and after
subtraction of all interest income received by such Series. Performance Fees
shall be paid by each Series as a whole, irrespective of whether the Net Asset
Value of such Series has declined below the purchase price of a Unit of such
Series. Accrued Performance Fees payable by a Series shall reduce the redemption
price of Units of such Series and shall be paid to the General Partner by such
Series upon redemptions within such Series. The amount (if any) of the accrued
Performance Fee that shall be paid to the General Partner upon the redemption of
any Unit within a Series shall be determined by dividing the total Performance
Fee as of such redemption date payable by such Series by the number of Units
within such Series then outstanding (including Units within such Series redeemed
as of such date); the remainder of the accrued Performance Fee payable by such
Series shall be paid to the General Partner on the last day of each month. In
the event assets are withdrawn from a Limited Partner's account or a Series as a
whole (other than to pay expenses), any loss carry forward shall be
proportionally reduced for purposes of calculating subsequent Performance Fees.
Loss carry forward reductions shall not be restored as a result of subsequent
additions of capital. The General Partner may adjust the allocations set forth
in this Section 8(c), in the General Partner's discretion, if the General
Partner believes that doing so will achieve more equitable allocations or
allocations more consistent with the Code.
(d) Expenses.
(1) The General Partner shall advance the organization and offering
expenses of the initial and continuous offerings of the Units of each
Series, and no such expenses shall be deducted from the proceeds of the
offering. The General Partner shall be reimbursed such amounts advanced on
behalf of a Series by such Series via payments equal to 1/12 of 1% per
month (1% per annum) of such Series' month-end Net Asset Value. The General
Partner shall have discretion to adopt reasonable procedures to implement
the authorization of such expenses, including grouping expenses related to
the same offering period and expensing de minimus amounts as they are
incurred. In the event a Series terminates prior to completion of its
reimbursement of advanced expenses, the General Partner will not be
entitled to receive additional reimbursement from such Series and such
Series will have no obligation to make further reimbursement payments to
the General Partner. For purposes of this Agreement, organization and
offering expenses shall mean all costs paid or incurred by the General
Partner or a Series in organizing such Series and offering the Units of
such Series, including legal and accounting fees incurred, bank account
charges, all Blue Sky filing fees, filing fees payable upon formation and
activation of such Series, and expenses of preparing, printing and
distributing the prospectus and registration statement, but in no event
shall exceed limits set forth in Section 9 herein or guidelines imposed by
appropriate regulatory bodies.
(2) Each Series shall be obligated to pay all liabilities incurred by
such Series, including without limitation, (i) brokerage fees; (ii)
operating expenses (whether direct or indirect) in an amount equal to 1/12
of 0.15% of such Series' month-end Net Asset Value (0.15% per annum),
management fees equal to 1/12 of 1.85% of such Series' month-end Net Asset
Value (1.85% per annum), and performance fees; (iii) monthly selling
commissions of 1/12 of 4% (4% per annum); (iv) legal and accounting fees;
and (v) taxes and other extraordinary expenses incurred by such Series.
During any year of operations, the General Partner shall be responsible for
payment of operating expenses of a Series in excess of 0.15% of such
Series' month-end Net Asset Value during that year. Indirect expenses of
the General Partner, such as indirect salaries, rent and other overhead
expenses, shall not be liabilities of a Series. Each Series shall receive
all interest earned on its assets.
(3) Compensation to any party, including the General Partner (or any
Advisor which may be retained in the future), shall not exceed the
limitations, if any, imposed by the North American
A-7
Securities Administrators Association ("NASAA") currently in effect. In the
event the compensation exceeds such limitations, the General Partner shall
promptly reimburse each Series for such excess.
(4) Each Series shall also be obligated to pay any costs of
indemnification payable by such Series to the extent permitted under
Section 17 of this Agreement.
(e) Limited Liability of Limited Partners. Each Unit, when purchased in
accordance with this Agreement, shall, except as otherwise provided by law, be
fully paid and nonassessable. Any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, except as otherwise provided by law, no Limited Partner of a
Series shall be liable for such Series' obligations in excess of the capital
contributed by such Limited Partner, plus his share of undistributed profits and
assets of such Series. Each Limited Partner will be entitled to the same
limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit.
(f) Return of Capital Contributions. No Limited Partner or subsequent
assignee shall have any right to demand the return of his capital contribution
or any profits added thereto, except through redeeming Units or upon dissolution
of each Series, in each case as provided herein and in accordance with the Act.
In no event shall a Limited Partner or subsequent assignee be entitled to demand
or receive property other than cash.
9. Management of each Series and the Limited Partnership. The General
Partner, to the exclusion of all Limited Partners, shall have the power to
control, conduct and manage the business of each Series and the Partnership. The
General Partner shall have full power and authority to do any and all acts and
to make and execute any and all contracts and instruments that it may consider
necessary or appropriate in connection with the management of the Partnership.
The General Partner shall have sole discretion in determining what distributions
of profits and income, if any, shall be made to the Limited Partners of any
Series (subject to the allocation provisions hereof), shall execute various
documents on behalf of each Series and the Limited Partners pursuant to powers
of attorney and supervise the liquidation of each Series if an event causing
dissolution of such Series occurs. The General Partner may in furtherance of the
business of each Series cause such Series to retain Advisors, including, but not
limited to, the General Partner, to act in furtherance of such Series' purposes
set forth in Section 4, all as described in the Prospectus relating to the
offering of the Units of such Series (the "Prospectus") in effect as of the time
that such Limited Partner last purchased Units. The General Partner may engage,
and compensate on behalf of a Series from funds of such Series, or agree to
share profits and losses with, such persons, firms or corporations, including
(except as described in Section 8(d) of this Agreement) the General Partner and
any affiliated person or entity, as the General Partner in its sole judgment
shall deem advisable for the conduct and operation of the business of such
Series, provided, that no such arrangement shall allow brokerage commissions
paid by a Series in excess of the amount described in the Prospectus or as
permitted under applicable North American Securities Administrators Association,
Inc. Guidelines for the Registration of Commodity Pool Programs ("NASAA
Guidelines") in effect as of the date of the Prospectus, whichever is higher
(the "Cap Amount"). The General Partner shall reimburse each Series, on an
annual basis, to the extent that such Series' brokerage commissions paid to the
General Partner and the Quarterly Performance Fee, as described in the
Prospectus, exceed the Cap Amount. The General Partner is hereby specifically
authorized to enter into, on behalf of each Series, the initial subscription
escrow agreements, the Advisory Agreements and the Selling Agreement as
described in the Prospectus. The General Partner shall not enter into an
Advisory Agreement with any trading advisor that does not satisfy the relevant
experience (i.e., ordinarily a minimum of three years) requirements under the
NASAA Guidelines. Each Series' brokerage commissions may not be increased
without prior written notice to Limited Partners within such Series within
sufficient time for the exercise of their redemption rights prior to such
increase becoming effective. Such notification shall contain a description of
such Limited Partner's voting and redemption rights and a description of any
material effect of such increase. In addition to any specific contract or
agreements described herein, the General Partner on behalf of each Series may
enter into any other contracts or agreements specifically described in or
contemplated by the Prospectus without any further act, approval or vote of the
Limited Partners of such Series notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, the Act or any applicable law, rule or regulations. The General
Partner shall be under a fiduciary duty to conduct the affairs of each Series in
the best interests of such Series. The Limited Partners of a Series will under
no circumstances be deemed to have contracted away the fiduciary obligations
owed them by the General Partner. The General Partner's fiduciary duty includes,
among other things, the safekeeping of all
A-8
Series funds and assets and the use thereof for the benefit of such Series. The
General Partner shall at all times act with integrity and good faith and
exercise due diligence in all activities relating to the conduct of the business
of each Series and in resolving conflicts of interest. Each Series' brokerage
arrangements shall be non-exclusive, and the brokerage commissions paid by each
Series shall be competitive. Each Series shall seek the best price and services
available for its commodity transactions. The General Partner is hereby
authorized to perform all other duties imposed by Sections 6221 through 6234 of
the Code on the General Partner as the "tax matters partner" of each Series and
the Partnership.
Each Series shall make no loans to any party, and the funds of each Series
will not be commingled with the funds of any other person or entity or other
Series (deposit of funds with a clearing broker, clearinghouse or forward dealer
or entering into joint ventures or partnerships shall not be deemed to
constitute "commingling" for these purposes). Except in respect of the
Performance Fee, no person or entity may receive, directly or indirectly, any
advisory, management or performance fees, or any profit-sharing allocation from
joint ventures, partnerships or similar arrangements in which a Series
participates, for investment advice or management, who shares or participates in
any clearing brokerage commissions; no broker may pay, directly or indirectly,
rebates or give-ups to any trading advisor or manager or to the General Partner
or any of their respective affiliates in respect of sales of the Units within
such Series; and such prohibitions may not be circumvented by any reciprocal
business arrangements. The foregoing prohibition shall not prevent each Series
from executing, at the direction of any Advisor, transactions with any futures
commission merchant, broker or dealer. The maximum period covered by any
contract entered into by each Series, except for the various provisions of the
Selling Agreement which survive each closing of the sales of the Units of such
Series, shall not exceed one year. Any material change in a Series' basic
investment policies or structure shall require the approval of Limited Partners
of such Series owning Units representing more than fifty percent (50%) of all
Units within a Series then owned by the Limited Partners. Any agreements between
a Series and the General Partner or any affiliate of the General Partner (as
well as any agreements between the General Partner or any affiliate of the
General Partner and any Advisor) shall be terminable without penalty by such
Series upon no more than 60 days' written notice. All sales of Units in the
United States will be conducted by registered brokers. Each Series is prohibited
from employing the trading technique commonly known as "pyramiding" as such term
is defined in Section I.B. of the NASAA Guidelines. A trading manager or Advisor
of each Series taking into account each Series' open trade equity on existing
positions in determining generally whether to acquire additional commodity
positions on behalf of each Series will not be considered to be engaging in
"pyramiding." The General Partner may take such other actions on behalf of each
Series as the General Partner deems necessary or desirable to manage the
business of such Series. The General Partner is engaged, and may in the future
engage, in other business activities and shall not be required to refrain from
any other activity nor forego any profits from any such activity, whether or not
in competition with each Series. Limited Partners may similarly engage in any
such other business activities. The General Partner shall devote to each Series
such time as the General Partner may deem advisable to conduct such Series'
business and affairs.
10. Audits and Reports to Limited Partners. Each Series' books shall be
audited annually by an independent certified public accountant. The General
Partner will use its best efforts to cause each Limited Partner of a Series to
receive (i) within 90 days after the close of each fiscal year certified
financial statements of such Series for the fiscal year then ended, (ii) within
90 days of the end of each fiscal year (but in no event later than March 15 of
each year) such tax information as is necessary for a Limited Partner to
complete his federal income tax return, (iii) any applicable Form 1099 or other
documentation evidencing payment of interest income to each Limited Partner, and
(iv) such other annual and monthly information as the CFTC may by regulation
require. The General Partner of a Series shall notify its Limited Partners
within seven business days of any material change (i) in the agreements with
such Series' Advisors, including any modification in the method of calculating
the advisory fee and (ii) in the compensation of any party relating to such
Series. Limited Partners of a Series or their duly authorized representatives
may inspect such Series' books and records during normal business hours upon
reasonable written notice to the General Partner and obtain copies of such
records (including by post upon payment of reasonable mailing costs), upon
payment of reasonable reproduction costs; provided, however, upon request by the
General Partner, the Limited Partner shall represent that the inspection and/or
copies of such records will not be for commercial purposes unrelated to such
Limited Partner's interest as a beneficial owner of such Series. The General
Partner shall have the
A-9
right to keep confidential from the Limited Partners of a Series, for such
period of time as the General Partner deems reasonable, any information that the
General Partner reasonably believes that such Series is required by law or by
agreement with a third party to keep confidential, provided that such
information may not be kept confidential if it involved a transaction between
such Series and an affiliate of the General Partner. The General Partner shall
calculate the approximate Net Asset Value per Unit of each Series on a daily
basis and furnish such information upon request to any Limited Partner of the
applicable Series. The General Partner shall maintain and preserve all
Partnership records for a period of not less than six years. The General Partner
will, with the assistance of each Series' clearing brokers, make an annual
review of the clearing brokerage arrangements applicable to such Series. In
connection with such review, the General Partner will ascertain, to the extent
practicable, the clearing brokerage rates charged to other major commodity pools
whose trading and operations are, in the opinion of the General Partner,
comparable to those of each Series in order to assess whether the rates charged
each Series are competitive in light of the services it receives. If, as a
result of such review, the General Partner determines that such rates are not
competitive in light of the services provided to each Series, the General
Partner will notify the Limited Partners, setting forth the rates charged to
each Series and several funds which are, in the General Partner's opinion,
comparable to each Series.
11. Assignability of Units. Each Limited Partner expressly agrees that he
will not voluntarily assign, transfer or dispose of, by gift or otherwise, any
of his Units or any part or all of his right, title and interest in the capital
or profits of a Unit in violation of any applicable federal or state securities
laws or without giving written notice to the General Partner at least 30 days
prior to the date of such assignment, transfer or disposition. No assignment,
transfer or disposition by an assignee of Units of any Series or of any part of
his right, title and interest in the capital or profits of such Units shall be
effective against such Series or the General Partner until the General Partner
receives the written notice of the assignment; the General Partner shall not be
required to give any assignee any rights hereunder prior to receipt of such
notice. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, waive any such notice.
No such assignee, except with the consent of the General Partner, which consent
may be withheld only to prevent or minimize potential adverse legal or tax
consequences to a Series, may become a substituted Limited Partner of a Series,
nor will the estate or any beneficiary of a deceased Limited Partner or assignee
have any right to redeem Units from such Series except by redemption as provided
in Section 12 hereof. Each Limited Partner agrees that with the consent of the
General Partner any assignee may become a substituted Limited Partner without
need of the further act or approval of any Limited Partner. If the General
Partner withholds consent, an assignee shall not become a substituted Limited
Partner, and shall not have any of the rights of a Limited Partner, except that
the assignee shall be entitled to receive that share of capital and profits and
shall have that right of redemption to which his assignor would otherwise have
been entitled. No assignment, transfer or disposition of Units of a Series shall
be effective against each Series or the General Partner until the first day of
the month succeeding the month in which the General Partner consents to such
assignment, transfer or disposition. No Units of a Series may be transferred
where, after the transfer, either the transferee or the transferor would hold
less than the minimum number of Units of such Series equivalent to an initial
minimum purchase, except for transfers by gift, inheritance, intrafamily
transfers, family dissolutions, and transfers to Affiliates.
12. Redemptions. A Limited Partner or any assignee of Units of whom the
General Partner has received written notice as described above may redeem all
or, subject to the provisions of this Section 12, a portion of his Units, in an
amount not less than $1,000.00 within a Series (such redemption being herein
referred to as a "redemption") effective as of the close of business (as
determined by the General Partner) on the last day of any month; provided that:
(i) all liabilities, contingent or otherwise, of such Series (including such
Series' allocable share of the liabilities, contingent or otherwise, of any
entities in which such Series invests), except any liability to Limited Partners
within such Series on account of their capital contributions, have been paid or
there remains property of such Series sufficient to pay them; (ii) the General
Partner shall have timely received a request for redemption, as provided in the
following paragraph, and (iii) with respect to a partial redemption, such
Limited Partner shall have a remaining investment in such Series after giving
effect to the requested redemption at least equal to the minimum initial
investment amount of $5,000.
Requests for redemption must be received by the General Partner at least
ten calendar days, or such lesser period as shall be acceptable to the General
Partner, in advance of the requested effective date of
A-10
redemption. The General Partner may declare additional redemption dates upon
notice to the Limited Partners of a Series as well as to those assignees of whom
the General Partner has received notice as described above.
Requests for redemption accepted by the General Partner are payable at the
applicable month-end Net Asset Value per Unit of the Series being redeemed. The
General Partner is authorized to liquidate positions to the extent it deems
necessary or appropriate to honor any such redemption requests.
If at the close of business (as determined by the General Partner) on any
day, the Net Asset Value per Unit of a Series has decreased to less than 50% of
the Net Asset Value per Unit of such Series as of the most recent month-end,
after adding back all distributions, the General Partner shall notify Limited
Partners within such Series within seven business days thereafter and shall
liquidate all open positions with respect to such Series as expeditiously as
possible and suspend trading. Within ten business days after the date of
suspension of trading, the General Partner (and any other general partners of
such Series) shall declare a Special Redemption Date with respect to such
Series. Such Special Redemption Date shall be a business day within 30 business
days from the date of suspension of trading by such Series, and the General
Partner shall mail notice of such date to each Limited Partner of such Series
and assignee of Units within such Series of whom it has received written notice,
by first-class mail, postage prepaid, not later than ten business days prior to
such Special Redemption Date, together with instructions as to the procedure
such Limited Partner or assignee must follow to have his interest in such Series
redeemed on such date (only entire, not partial, interests may be so redeemed
unless otherwise determined by the General Partner). Upon redemption pursuant to
a Special Redemption Date, a Limited Partner or any other assignee of whom the
General Partner has received written notice as described above, shall receive
from the applicable Series an amount equal to the Net Asset Value of his
interest in such Series, determined as of the close of business (as determined
by the General Partner) on such Special Redemption Date. No redemption charges
shall be assessed on any such Special Redemption Date. As in the case of a
regular redemption, an assignee shall not be entitled to redemption until the
General Partner has received written notice (as described above) of the
assignment, transfer or disposition under which the assignee claims an interest
in the Units to be redeemed. If, after such Special Redemption Date, the Net
Assets of such Series are at least $500,000 and the Net Asset Value of a Unit
within such Series is in excess of $250, such Series may, in the discretion of
the General Partner, resume trading. The General Partner may at any time and in
its discretion declare a Special Redemption Date, should the General Partner
determine that it is in the best interests of a Series to do so. The General
Partner in its notice of a Special Redemption Date may, in its discretion,
establish the conditions, if any, under which other Special Redemption Dates
must be called, which conditions may be determined in the sole discretion of the
General Partner, irrespective of the provisions of this paragraph. The General
Partner may also, in its discretion, declare additional regular redemption dates
for Units within a Series and permit certain Limited Partners to redeem at other
than month-end.
Except as otherwise set forth above, redemption payments will be made
within 20 business days after the month-end of redemption, except that under
special circumstances, including, but not limited to, inability to liquidate
dealers' positions as of a redemption date or default or delay in payments due a
Series from clearing brokers, banks or other persons or entities, such Series
may in turn delay payment to Limited Partners or assignees requesting redemption
of their Units of the proportionate part of the Net Asset Value of such Units
within such Series equal to that proportionate part of such Series' aggregate
Net Asset Value represented by the sums which are the subject of such default or
delay. The General Partner shall cause redemption payments to be sent from the
Additional Accounts to the last known addresses of the Limited Partner
requesting redemption; provided, however, that such Limited Partners shall cease
to be Limited Partners upon payment of the redemption amounts and such Limited
Partners shall have no claim against the assets of a Series in which they were
Limited Partners except for such redemption payments.
The General Partner may require a Limited Partner to redeem all or a
portion of such Limited Partner's Units within a Series if the General Partner
considers doing so to be desirable for the protection of such Series, and will
use best efforts to do so to the extent necessary to prevent each Series from
being deemed to hold "plan assets" under the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
A-11
("ERISA"), or the Code, with respect to any "employee benefit plan" subject to
ERISA or with respect to any plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the
Code.
13. Offering of Units. The General Partner on behalf of each Series shall
(i) cause to be filed a Registration Statement or Registration Statements, and
such amendments thereto as the General Partner deems advisable, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration and ongoing public
offering of the Units, (ii) use its best efforts to qualify and to keep
qualified Units for sale under the securities laws of such States of the United
States or other jurisdictions as the General Partner shall deem advisable and
(iii) take such action with respect to the matters described in (i) and (ii) as
the General Partner shall deem advisable or necessary. The General Partner shall
use its best efforts not to accept any subscriptions for Units if doing so would
cause a Series to hold "plan assets" under ERISA or the Code with respect to any
"employee benefit plan" subject to ERISA or with respect to any plan or account
subject to Section 4975 of the Code. If such a Limited Partner has its
subscription reduced for such reason, such Limited Partner shall be entitled to
rescind its subscription in its entirety even though subscriptions are otherwise
irrevocable.
14. Additional Offerings. The General Partner may, in its discretion, make
additional public or private offerings of Units, provided that the net proceeds
to a Series of any such sales of additional Units of such Series shall in no
event be less than the Net Asset Value per Unit within such Series (as defined
in Section 5(d) hereof) at the time of sale (unless the new Unit's participation
in the profits and losses of such Series is appropriately adjusted). No Limited
Partner shall have any preemptive, preferential or other rights with respect to
the issuance or sale of any additional Units, other than as set forth in the
preceding sentence. The Partnership may offer different Series or classes of
Units having different economic terms than previously offered Series or classes
of Units as determined by the General Partner; provided that the issuance of
such a new Series or class of Units shall in no respect adversely affect the
holders of outstanding Units; and provided further that the assets attributable
to each such Series or class shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be
treated as legally separate and distinct pools of assets, and the assets
attributable to one such Series or class be prevented from being used in any
respect to satisfy or discharge any debt or obligation of any other such Series
or class.
15. Special Power of Attorney. Each Limited Partner by his execution of
this Agreement does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the General
Partner and each officer of the General Partner, with power of substitution, as
his true and lawful attorney-in-fact, in his name, place and stead, to execute,
acknowledge, swear to (and deliver as may be appropriate) on his behalf and file
and record in the appropriate public offices and publish (as may in the
reasonable judgment of the General Partner be required by law): (i) this
Agreement, including any amendments and/or restatements hereto duly adopted as
provided herein; (ii) certificates in various jurisdictions, and amendments
and/or restatements thereto, and of assumed name or of doing business under a
fictitious name with respect to each Series or the Partnership; (iii) all
conveyances and other instruments which the General Partner deems appropriate to
qualify or continue each Series or the Partnership in the State of Delaware and
the jurisdictions in which each Series or the Partnership may conduct business,
or which may be required to be filed by each Series or the Limited Partners
under the laws of any jurisdiction or under any amendments or successor statutes
to the Act, to reflect the dissolution or termination of each Series or the
Partnership, or each Series or the Partnership being governed by any amendments
or successor statutes to the Act or to reorganize or refile each Series or the
Partnership in a different jurisdiction; and (iv) to file, prosecute, defend,
settle or compromise litigation, claims or arbitrations on behalf of each
Series. The Power of Attorney granted herein shall be irrevocable and deemed to
be a power coupled with an interest (including, without limitation, the interest
of the other Limited Partners in the General Partner being able to rely on the
General Partner's authority to act as contemplated by this Section 15) and shall
survive and shall not be affected by the subsequent incapacity, disability or
death of a Limited Partner.
16. Withdrawal of a Limited Partner. The Partnership shall be dissolved
upon the final dissolution of each Series created hereunder. Each Series shall
be dissolved upon the withdrawal, dissolution, insolvency or removal of the
General Partner with respect to such Series, or any other event that causes the
General Partner to cease to be a general partner with respect to such Series
under the Act, unless such Series is continued pursuant to the terms of Section
5(a)(3). In addition, the General Partner may withdraw from each Series,
A-12
without any breach of this Agreement, at any time upon 120 days' written notice
by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Limited Partner of such Series and
assignee of whom the General Partner has notice; provided, that such resignation
shall not become effective unless and until a successor general partner is in
place. If the General Partner withdraws as general partner with respect to a
Series and such Series' business is continued, the withdrawing General Partner
shall pay all expenses incurred directly as a result of its withdrawal. In the
event of the General Partner's removal or withdrawal, with respect to a Series,
the General Partner shall be entitled to a redemption of its interest in such
Series at its Net Asset Value with respect to such Series on the next closing
date following the date of removal or withdrawal. The General Partner may not
assign its interest in the Partnership or its obligation to direct the trading
of each Series' assets without the consent of each Limited Partner of the
effected Series. The death, incompetency, withdrawal, insolvency or dissolution
of a Limited Partner or any other event that causes a Limited Partner to cease
to be a Limited Partner (within the meaning of the Act) in a Series shall not
terminate or dissolve such Series, and a Limited Partner, his estate, custodian
or personal representative shall have no right to redeem or value such Limited
Partner's interest in such Series except as provided in Section 12 hereof. Each
Limited Partner within a Series agrees that in the event of his death, he waives
on behalf of himself and his estate, and directs the legal representatives of
his estate and any person interested therein to waive, the furnishing of any
inventory, accounting or appraisal of the assets of such Series or the
Partnership and any right to an audit or examination of the books of such Series
or the Partnership. Nothing in this Section 16 shall, however, waive any right
given elsewhere in this Agreement for a Limited Partner to be informed of the
Net Asset Value of his Units, to receive periodic reports, audited financial
statements and other information from the General Partner or to redeem or
transfer Units.
17. Standard of Liability; Indemnification.
(a) Standard of Liability for the General Partner. The General Partner and
its Affiliates, as defined below, shall have no liability to any Series or to
any Limited Partner of such Series for any loss suffered by such Series or such
Limited Partner which arises out of any action or inaction of the General
Partner or its Affiliates if the General Partner, in good faith, determined that
such course of conduct was in the best interests of such Series and such course
of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct of the General Partner or
its Affiliates.
(b) Indemnification of the General Partner by each Series. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, subject to this Section 17, the General Partner and its
Affiliates shall be indemnified by each Series against any losses, judgments,
liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by
them in connection with such Series; provided that such claims were not the
result of negligence or misconduct on the part of the General Partner or its
Affiliates, and the General Partner, in good faith, determined that such conduct
was in the best interests of such Series; and provided further that Affiliates
of the General Partner shall be entitled to indemnification only for losses
incurred by such Affiliates in performing the duties of the General Partner with
respect to such Series and acting wholly within the scope of the authority of
the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
preceding two paragraphs, the General Partner and its Affiliates and any persons
acting as Selling Agents for the Units shall not be indemnified for any losses,
liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal
or state securities laws unless (1) there has been a successful adjudication on
the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the
particular indemnitee and the court approves indemnification of the litigation
costs, or (2) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a
court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee and the court
approves indemnification of the litigation costs, or (3) a court of competent
jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee
and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be
made. In any claim for indemnification for federal or state securities law
violations, the party seeking indemnification shall place before the court the
position of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the California Department of
Corporations, the Massachusetts Securities Division, the Missouri Securities
Division, the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, the Tennessee Securities
Division, the Texas Securities Board and any other state or applicable
regulatory authority with respect to the issue of indemnification for securities
law violations. Each Series shall not bear the cost of that portion of any
insurance which insures any party against any liability the indemnification of
A-13
which is herein prohibited. For the purposes of this Section 17, the term
"Affiliates" shall mean any person acting on behalf of or performing services on
behalf of any Series who: (1) directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by,
or is under common control with the General Partner; or (2) owns or controls 10%
or more of the outstanding voting securities of the General Partner; or (3) is
an officer or director of the General Partner; or (4) if the General Partner is
an officer, director, partner or trustee, is any entity for which the General
Partner acts in any such capacity. Advances from a Series Estate to the General
Partner and its Affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a
result of any legal action initiated against the General Partner by a Limited
Partner are prohibited. Advances from any Series' Estate to the General Partner
and its Affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of a
legal action will be made only if the following three conditions are satisfied:
(1) the legal action relates to the performance of duties or services by the
General Partner or its Affiliates on behalf of such Series; (2) the legal action
is initiated by a third party who is not a Limited Partner; and (3) the General
Partner or its Affiliates undertake to repay the advanced funds, with interest
from the date of such advance, to such Series in cases in which they would not
be entitled to indemnification under the standard of liability set forth in
Section 17(a). In no event shall any indemnity or exculpation provided for
herein be more favorable to the General Partner or any Affiliate than that
contemplated by the NASAA Guidelines as currently in effect. In no event shall
any indemnification permitted by this subsection (b) of Section 17 be made by a
Series unless all provisions of this Section for the payment of indemnification
have been complied with in all respects. Furthermore, it shall be a precondition
of any such indemnification that the effected Series receive a determination of
qualified independent legal counsel in a written opinion that the party which
seeks to be indemnified hereunder has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth herein. Receipt of any such opinion shall not, however, in itself, entitle
any such party to indemnification unless indemnification is otherwise proper
hereunder. Any indemnification payable by a Series hereunder shall be made only
as provided in the specific case. In no event shall any indemnification
obligations of a Series under this subsection (b) of this Section 17 subject a
Limited Partner to any liability in excess of that contemplated by subsection
(e) of Section 8 hereof.
(c) Indemnification of each Series by the Limited Partners. In the event a
Series is made a party to any claim, dispute or litigation or otherwise incurs
any loss or expense as a result of or in connection with any of such Series'
Limited Partner's activities, obligations or liabilities unrelated to such
Series' business, such Limited Partner shall indemnify and reimburse such Series
for all loss and expense incurred, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
18. Amendments; Meetings.
(a) Amendments with Consent of the General Partner. The General Partner
may amend this Agreement with the approval of more than fifty percent (50%) of
the Units then owned by Limited Partners of each Series. No meeting procedure or
specified notice period is required in the case of amendments made with the
consent of the General Partner, mere receipt of an adequate number of unrevoked
written consents from Limited Partners of each Series being sufficient. The
General Partner may amend this Agreement without the consent of the Limited
Partners of each Series in order (i) to clarify any clerical inaccuracy or
ambiguity or reconcile any inconsistency (including any inconsistency between
this Agreement and the Prospectus), (ii) to effect the intent of the tax
allocations proposed herein to the maximum extent possible in the event of a
change in the Code or the interpretations thereof affecting such allocations,
(iii) to attempt to ensure that either Series is not treated as an association
taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, (iv) to qualify or
maintain the qualification of the Partnership as a limited partnership in any
jurisdiction, (v) to delete or add any provision of or to this Agreement
required to be deleted or added by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any other federal agency or any state "Blue Sky" official or
similar official or in order to opt to be governed by any amendment or successor
statute to the Act, (vi) to make any amendment to this Agreement which the
General Partner deems advisable, including amendments that reflect the offering
and issuance of additional Units, whether or not issued through a Series,
provided that such amendment is not adverse to the Limited Partners of either
Series, or that is required by law, and (vii) to make any amendment that is
appropriate or necessary, in the opinion of the general partner, to prevent each
Series or the General Partner or its directors, officers or controlling persons
from in any manner being subjected to the provisions of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, or to prevent the assets of
A-14
either Series from being considered for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code to constitute assets of any "employee benefit plan" as defined in and
subject to ERISA or of any "plan" subject to Section 4975 of the Code.
(b) Amendments and Actions without Consent of the General Partner. In any
vote called by the General Partner or pursuant to section (c) of this Section
18, upon the affirmative vote (which may be in person or by proxy) of more than
fifty percent (50%) of the Units then owned by Limited Partners of each Series,
the following actions may be taken, irrespective of whether the General Partner
concurs: (i) this Agreement may be amended, provided, however, that approval of
all Limited Partners of each Series shall be required in the case of amendments
changing or altering this Section 18, extending the term of each Series or the
Partnership, or materially changing each Series' basic investment policies or
structure; in addition, reduction of the capital account of any Limited Partner
or assignee or modification of the percentage of profits, losses or
distributions to which a Limited Partner or an assignee is entitled hereunder
shall not be effected by any amendment or supplement to this Agreement without
such Limited Partner's or assignee's written consent; (ii) each Series or the
Partnership may be dissolved; (iii) the General Partner may be removed and
replaced; (iv) a new general partner or general partners may be elected if the
General Partner withdraws from each Series; (v) the sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of each Series may be approved; and (vi) any contract with the
General Partner or any affiliate thereof may be disapproved of and, as a result,
terminated upon 60 days' notice.
(c) Meetings; Other Voting Matters. A Limited Partner in either Series
upon request addressed to the General Partner shall be entitled to obtain from
the General Partner, upon payment in advance of reasonable reproduction and
mailing costs, a list of the names and addresses of record of all Limited
Partners within such Series and the number of Units held by each (which shall be
mailed by the General Partner to the Limited Partner within ten days of the
receipt of the request); provided, that the General Partner may require any
Limited Partner requesting such information to submit written confirmation that
such information will not be used for commercial purposes and will only be used
for a legitimate purpose related to such person being a Limited Partner. Upon
receipt of a written proposal, signed by Limited Partners owning Units
representing at least 10% of the Units then owned by Limited Partners, that a
meeting of such Series be called to vote upon any matter upon which the Limited
Partners may vote pursuant to this Agreement, the General Partner shall, by
written notice to each Limited Partner within that Series of record sent by
certified mail within 15 days after such receipt, call a meeting of such Series
or the Partnership. Such meeting shall be held at least 30 but not more than 60
days after the mailing of such notice, and such notice shall specify the date
of, a reasonable place and time for, and the purpose of such meeting. The
General Partner may not restrict the voting rights of Limited Partners as set
forth herein. In the event that the General Partner or the Limited Partners vote
to amend this Agreement in any material respect, the amendment will not become
effective prior to all Limited Partners having an opportunity to redeem their
Units.

or assignee hereunder, each Series and the Partnership, the General Partner may
rely upon each Series records as to who are Limited Partners and assignees of
such Series, and all Limited Partners and assignees agree that their rights
shall be determined and they shall be bound thereby.
(c) Captions. Captions in no way define, limit, extend or describe the
scope of this Agreement nor the effect of any of its provisions. Any reference

6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
By executing the Subscription Agreement, you (for yourself and any
co-subscriber, and, if you are signing on behalf of an entity, on behalf of and
with respect to that entity and its shareholders, partners, beneficiaries or
members), represent and warrant to the General Partner and the Partnership as
follows (As Used Below, The Terms "You and Your" Refer To You And Your
Co-Subscriber, If Any, Or If You Are Signing On Behalf Of An Entity, That
Entity):
(PLEASE INITIAL EACH ITEM TO INDICATE YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR REPRESENTATION)
______ 1. I have received a copy of the Prospectus, including the Limited
Partnership Agreement.
______ 2. If an individual subscriber, I am of legal age to execute this
Agreement and am legally competent to do so. Minnesota residents are
not required to represent that they are legally competent.
______ 3. I satisfy the applicable financial suitability and minimum investment
requirements, as set forth below under the caption State Suitability
Requirements (or in a special Supplement to the Prospectus) for
residents of the state in which I reside. I agree to provide any
additional documentation requested by the General Partner, as may be
required by the securities administrator of my state of residence, to
confirm that I meet the applicable minimum financial suitability
standards to invest in the Partnership.
______ 4. The address on the Subscription Agreement and above is my true and
correct residence and I have no present intention of becoming a
resident of any other state or country. All the information that I
have provided on the Subscription Agreement and above is correct and
complete as of the date of this Agreement, and, if there is any
material change in that information before my admission as a Limited
Partner, I will immediately furnish such revised or corrected
information to the General Partner, represented through the Placement
Agent.
______ 5. If I am representing an employee benefit plan, to the best of my
knowledge, neither the General Partner nor any Trading Advisor, nor
any of their affiliates: (a) has investment discretion with respect
to the investment of my plan assets; (b) has authority or
responsibility to give or regularly gives investment advice with
respect to such plan assets for a fee and under an agreement or
understanding that such advice (i) will serve as a primary basis for
investment decisions with respect to such plan assets and (ii) will
be based on the particular investment needs of the plan; or (c) is an
employer maintaining or contributing to that plan. For purposes of
this representation (5), an "employee benefit plan" includes plans
and accounts of various types (including their related trusts) which
provide for the accumulation of a portion of an individual's earnings
or compensation, as well as investment income earned thereon, free
from federal income tax until such time as funds are distributed from
the plan, and include corporate "pension" and profit-sharing plans,
"simplified employee pension plans", "Keogh" plans for self-employed
individuals and individual retirement accounts ("IRAs").
______ 6. Unless representation (7) or (8) below is applicable, my subscription
is made with my funds for my own account and not as trustee,
custodian, or nominee for another.
______ 7. If I am subscribing as a custodian for a minor, either (a) the
subscription is a gift I have made to that minor and is not made with
that minor's funds. In which case the representations as to net worth
and annual income below apply only to myself, acting as custodian. Or
(b) if the subscription is not a gift, the representations as to net
worth, and annual income below apply only to that minor.
______ 8. If I am subscribing as a trustee or custodian of an employee benefit
plan, or of an IRA, at the direction of the beneficiary of that plan
or IRA, all representations in this subscription agreement and Power
of Attorney apply only to the beneficiary of that plan or IRA.
______ 9. If I am subscribing in a representative capacity, I have full power
and authority to purchase units and enter into and be bound by this
Agreement on behalf of the entity for which I am purchasing the
units, and that entity has full right and power to purchase the units
and enter into and be bound by this Agreement, and become a Limited
Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement.
______ 10. I am either; (a) not required to be registered with the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") nor to be a member of the
National Futures Association ("NFA"); or (b) if so required, I am
duly registered with the CFTC and am a member in good standing of the
NFA. It is an NFA requirement that the General Partner attempt to
verify that any person or entity that seeks to purchase units be duly
registered with the CFTC and a member of the NFA, if required. I
agree to supply the General Partner with such information as the
General Partner may reasonably request to attempt such verification.
Certain entities that acquire units may, as a result, themselves
become "commodity pools" within the intent of applicable CFTC and NFA
rules, and their sponsors, accordingly, may be required to register
as "commodity pool operators".
______ 11. I understand that the Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement
imposes substantial restrictions on the transferability of my units
and that my investment is not liquid except for limited redemption
provisions, as set forth in the Prospectus and the Limited
Partnership Agreement. Maine residents are not required to represent
that they understand the Limited Partnership Agreement of the
provisions set forth therein.
By making the representations and warranties set forth above, investors should
be aware that they have not waived any rights of action which they may have
under applicable federal or state securities laws. Federal and state securities
laws provide that any such waiver would be unenforceable. Investors should be
aware, however, that the representations and warranties set forth above may be
asserted in the defense of the Partnership, the General Partner, any Trading
Advisor, or others in any subsequent litigation or other proceedings.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 17 of the Partnership Agreement (attached as Exhibit A to the
Prospectus which forms a part of this Registration Statement) provides for the
indemnification of Quadriga Capital Management and certain of its controlling
persons by the Registrant in certain circumstances. Such indemnification is
limited to claims sustained by such persons in connection with the Registrant;
provided that such claims were not the result of negligence or misconduct on the
part of Quadriga Capital Management, Inc. or such controlling persons. The
Registrant is prohibited from incurring the cost of any insurance covering any
broader indemnification than that provided above. Advances of Registrant funds
to cover legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action
initiated against QCM by a Limited Partner are prohibited unless specific court
approval is obtained.
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On August 5, 2002, 10.073 Units in Series A and 10.003 Units in Series B of
limited partnership were sold to Quadriga Capital Management in order to permit
the filing of a Certificate of Limited Partnership. The sale of these Units was
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section
4(2) thereof. No discounts or commissions were paid in connection with the sale,
and no other offeree or purchaser was solicited. There have been no other
unregistered sales of Units.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes (1) To file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
the registration statement; (iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration
statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering. II-2 118 (b) The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule
430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be
part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to
II-2
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in
Item 14 above, or otherwise, the registrant had been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
