CAMPBELL STRATEGIC ALLOCATION FUND, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. General Description of the Fund
Campbell Strategic Allocation Fund, L.P. (the Fund) is a Delaware
limited partnership which operates as a commodity investment pool.
The Fund engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts,
forward contracts and swap contracts.
B. Regulation
As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Fund is subject to the regulatory requirements under the Securities
Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a commodity
investment pool, the Fund is subject to the regulations of the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the United States
(U.S.) government which regulates most aspects of the commodity
futures industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an
industry self-regulatory organization; and the requirements of the
various commodity exchanges where the Fund executes transactions.
Additionally, the Fund is subject to the requirements of futures
commission merchants (brokers) and interbank and other market makers
through which the Fund trades.
C. Method of Reporting
The Fund's financial statements are presented in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which require the use of certain estimates made by the
Fund's management. Transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated.
Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference
between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the
statement of financial condition as a net gain or loss, as there
exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 39 -
"Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts." The market
value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is determined by the
various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for
each contract as of the close of the last business day of the
reporting period. The market value of swap and forward (non-exchange
traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot
prices quoted as of 5:00 P.M. (E.T.) of the last business day of the
reporting period or based on the market value of its exchange-traded
equivalent. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the
preceding period is reported in the statement of operations.
Brokerage commissions and other trading fees paid directly to the
broker are included in "brokerage fee" and are charged to expense
when contracts are opened. United States government securities are
stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market
value.
For purposes of both financial reporting and calculation of
redemption value, Net Asset Value per unit is calculated by dividing
Net Asset Value by the number of outstanding units.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and short-term time deposits
held at financial institutions.

CAMPBELL STRATEGIC ALLOCATION FUND, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
E. Income Taxes
The Fund prepares calendar year U.S. and applicable state
information tax returns and reports to the partners their allocable
shares of the Fund's income, expenses and trading gains or losses.
F. Offering Costs
Campbell & Company, Inc. (Campbell & Company) has incurred all costs
in connection with the initial and continuous offering of units of
the Fund (offering costs). The Fund's liability for offering costs
is limited to the maximum of total offering costs incurred by
Campbell & Company or 2.5% of the aggregate subscriptions accepted
during the initial and continuous offerings; this maximum is further
limited by 30 month pay-out schedules. The Fund is only liable for
payment of offering costs on a monthly basis as calculated based on
the limitations stated above. At September 30, 2003, the Fund
reflects a liability in the statement of financial condition for
offering costs payable to Campbell & Company of $1,254,958. The
amount of monthly reimbursement due to Campbell & Company is charged
directly to partners' capital.
If the Fund terminates prior to completion of payment of the
calculated amounts to Campbell & Company, Campbell & Company will
not be entitled to any additional payments, and the Fund will have
no further obligation to Campbell & Company. At September 30, 2003,
the amount of unreimbursed offering costs incurred by Campbell &
Company is $9,990,686.
G. Foreign Currency Transactions
The Fund's functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it
transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assets
and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar
are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date
of the statement of financial condition. Income and expense items
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated
into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains
and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are
reported in income currently.
Note 2. GENERAL PARTNER AND COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR
The general partner of the Fund is Campbell & Company, which conducts
and manages the business of the Fund. Campbell & Company is also the
commodity trading advisor of the Fund. The Amended Agreement of Limited
Partnership provides that Campbell & Company may make withdrawals of its
units, provided that such withdrawals do not reduce Campbell & Company's
aggregate percentage interest in the Fund to less than 1% of the net
aggregate contributions.
-9-
CAMPBELL STRATEGIC ALLOCATION FUND, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
Note 2. GENERAL PARTNER AND COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR (CONTINUED)
Campbell & Company is required by the Amended Agreement of Limited
Partnership to maintain a net worth equal to at least 5% of the capital
contributed by all the limited partnerships for which it acts as general
partner, including the Fund. The minimum net worth shall in no case be
less than $50,000 nor shall net worth in excess of $1,000,000 be
required.
The Fund pays a monthly brokerage fee equal to 1/12 of 7% (7%
annualized) of month-end net assets to Campbell & Company and
approximately $6 per round turn to the broker for execution and clearing
costs, the total of which is reported as brokerage fee in the statement
of operations. From the 7% fee, a portion (4%) is used to compensate
selling agents for ongoing services rendered and a portion (3%) is
retained by Campbell & Company for trading and management services
rendered. The amount paid to the broker and interbank market makers for
execution and clearing costs is limited to 1/12 of 1% (1% annualized) of
month-end net assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003
and 2002, the amounts paid directly to the broker and interbank market
makers amounted to $3,770,882 and $4,469,024, respectively. During the
three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the amounts paid
directly to the broker and interbank market makers amounted to
$1,581,208 and $1,212,325, respectively.
Campbell & Company is also paid a quarterly performance fee of 20% of
the Fund's aggregate cumulative appreciation in the Net Asset Value per
unit, exclusive of appreciation attributable to interest income.
Note 3. DEPOSITS WITH BROKER
The Fund deposits assets with a broker subject to Commodity Futures
Trading Commission regulations and various exchange and broker
requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of U.S.
Treasury bills and cash with such broker. The Fund earns interest income
on its assets deposited with the broker.
Note 4. OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses of the Fund are limited by the Amended Agreement of
Limited Partnership to 0.5% per year of the average month-end Net Asset
Value of the Fund. Actual operating expenses were less than 0.5%
(annualized) of average month-end Net Asset Value for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.
Note 5. SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
Investments in the Fund are made by subscription agreement, subject to
acceptance by Campbell & Company. In December 2002, the Fund received
deposits from prospective limited partners totaling $17,206,853. These
deposits were returned to the prospective investors in January 2003.

CAMPBELL STRATEGIC ALLOCATION FUND, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
Note 5. SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS (CONTINUED)
The Fund is not required to make distributions, but may do so at the
sole discretion of Campbell & Company. A limited partner may request and
receive redemption of units owned, subject to restrictions in the
Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership. Redemption fees apply through
the first twelve month-ends following purchase as follows: 4% of Net
Asset Value per unit redeemed through the third month-end, 3% of Net
Asset Value per unit redeemed through the sixth month-end, 2% of Net
Asset Value per unit redeemed through the ninth month-end and 1% of Net
Asset Value per unit redeemed through the twelfth month-end. After the
twelfth month-end following purchase of a unit, no redemption fees
apply.
Note 6. TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS
The Fund engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures
contracts, forward contracts and swap contracts (collectively,
"derivatives"). The Fund is exposed to both market risk, the risk
arising from changes in the market value of the contracts, and credit
risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the
terms of a contract.
Purchase and sale of futures contracts requires margin deposits with the
broker. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract
value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a broker to segregate all
customer transactions and assets from such broker's proprietary
activities. A customer's cash and other property (for example, U.S.
Treasury bills) deposited with a broker are considered commingled with
all other customer funds subject to the broker's segregation
requirements. In the event of a broker's insolvency, recovery may be
limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is
possible that the recovered amount could be less than total cash and
other property deposited.
The amount of required margin and good faith deposits with the broker
and interbank and other market makers usually range from 10% to 30% of
Net Asset Value. The market value of securities held to satisfy such
requirements at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was
$1,898,797,118 and $1,252,760,234, respectively, which equals 79% and
77% of Net Asset Value, respectively. The cash deposited with interbank
and other market makers at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was
$303,026,517 and $176,597,790, respectively, which equals 13% and 11% of
Net Asset Value, respectively. These amounts are included in cash and
cash equivalents.
The Fund trades forward and swap contracts in unregulated markets
between principals and assumes the risk of loss from counterparty
nonperformance. Accordingly, the risks associated with forward and swap
contracts are generally greater than those associated with exchange
traded contracts because of the greater risk of counterparty default.
Additionally, the trading of forward and swap contracts typically
involves delayed cash settlement.
The Fund has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with
financial institutions. In the event of a financial institution's
insolvency, recovery of Fund assets on deposit may be limited to account
insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.

Open contracts generally mature within three months; as of September 30,
2003, the latest maturity date for open futures contracts is June 2004,
and the latest maturity date for open forward and swap contracts is
December 2003. However, the Fund intends to close all contracts prior to
maturity.
Campbell & Company has established procedures to actively monitor market
risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no assurance that
it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. Campbell & Company's basic market
risk control procedures consist of continuously monitoring open
positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a
margin-to-equity ratio that rarely exceeds 30%. Campbell & Company seeks
to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and maintaining the
Fund's assets at financial institutions and brokers which Campbell &
Company believes to be creditworthy. The limited partners bear the risk
of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective
investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and
redemptions received.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The offering of Campbell Strategic Allocation Fund L.P.'s (the "Fund") Units of
Limited Partnership Interest commenced on January 12, 1994, and the initial
offering terminated on April 15, 1994 with proceeds of $9,692,439. The
continuing offering period commenced immediately after the termination of the
initial offering period; additional subscriptions totaling $2,367,898,737 have
been accepted during the continuing offering period as of September 30, 2003.
Redemptions over the same time period total $430,753,050. The Fund commenced
operations on April 18, 1994.
Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Net unrealized gains
or losses on open contracts (the difference between contract price and market
price) are reflected in the statement of financial condition. Any change in net
unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement
of operations. United States government securities are stated at cost plus
accrued interest, which approximates market value. For purposes of both
financial reporting and calculation of redemption value, Net Asset Value per
Unit is calculated by dividing Net Asset Value by the number of outstanding
Units.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Fund will raise additional capital only through the sale of Units offered
pursuant to the continuing offering, and does not intend to raise any capital
through borrowing. Due to the nature of the Fund's business, it will make no
capital expenditures and will have no capital assets, which are not operating
capital or assets.
LIQUIDITY
Most United States commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in commodity futures
contracts prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price
fluctuation limits" or "daily limits". During a single trading day, no trades
may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a futures
contract has reached the daily limit for that day, positions in that contract
can neither be taken nor liquidated. Commodity futures prices have occasionally
moved to the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading.
Similar occurrences could prevent the Fund from promptly liquidating unfavorable
positions and subject the Fund to substantial losses which could exceed the
margin initially committed to such trades. In addition, even if commodity
futures prices have not moved the daily limit, the Fund may not be able to
execute futures trades at favorable prices, if little trading in such contracts
is taking place. Other than these limitations on liquidity, which are inherent
in the Fund's commodity futures trading operations, the Fund's assets are
expected to be highly liquid.
The entire offering proceeds, without deductions, will be credited to the Fund's
bank and brokerage accounts to engage in trading activities and as reserves for
that trading. The Fund meets its margin requirements by depositing U.S.
government securities with the futures broker and the over-the-counter
counterparties. In this way, substantially all (i.e., 95% or more) of the Fund's
assets, whether
-14-
used as margin for trading purposes or as reserves for such trading, can be
invested in U.S. government securities and time deposits with U.S. banks.
Investors should note that maintenance of the Fund's assets in U.S. government
securities and banks does not reduce the risk of loss from trading futures and
forward contracts. The Fund receives all interest earned on its assets. No other
person shall receive any interest or other economic benefits from the deposit of
Fund assets.
Approximately 10% to 30% of the Fund's assets normally are committed as required
margin for futures contracts and held by the futures broker, although the amount
committed may vary significantly. Such assets are maintained in the form of cash
or U.S. Treasury bills in segregated accounts with the futures broker pursuant
to the Commodity Exchange Act and regulations thereunder. Approximately 10% to
30% of the Fund's assets will be deposited with over-the-counter counterparties
in order to initiate and maintain forward and swap contracts. Such assets are
not held in segregation or otherwise regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act,
unless such over-the-counter counterparty is registered as a futures commission
merchant. These assets are held either in U.S. government securities or
short-term time deposits with U.S.-regulated bank affiliates of the
over-the-counter counterparties. The remaining 40% to 80% of the Fund's assets
will normally be invested in cash equivalents such as U.S. Treasury bills and
held by the futures broker or the over-the-counter counterparties.
The Fund's assets are not and will not be, directly or indirectly, commingled
with the property of any other person in violation of law or invested with or
loaned to Campbell & Company or any affiliated entities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The returns for the nine months ending September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 9.32%
and 17.12%, respectively. Of the 9.32% increase, approximately 16.69% was due to
trading gains (before commissions) and approximately 0.78% was due to interest
income, offset by approximately 8.15% due to brokerage fees, performance fees,
operating cost and offering costs borne by the Fund. An analysis of the 16.69%
trading gains by sector is as follows:
SECTOR % GAIN (LOSS)
- ------ ------------
Currencies 13.52%
Energy 1.95
Stock Indices 1.73
Interest Rates 0.08
Metals (0.59)
-----
16.69%
=====
The long-term trends that created so much opportunity for the Fund in 2002
continued in January 2003. Profits were earned in every sector other than stock
indices. However, the environment was one where a single event, the prospect of
war with Iraq, was driving the Fund's whole portfolio.
-15-
While the Fund's systematic and disciplined trading strategies continued to keep
it engaged, leverage was subsequently decreased to protect against significant
losses which could result from potential sharp and extended reversals in core
positions.
The Fund was positive again in February with metals being the only negative
sector. Strong momentum in energy, fixed income, currencies and stock indices
continued, largely as a result of the troubled global geopolitical outlook. In
order to mitigate the risk of potential sharp reversals in trends, the Fund
maintained a lower-than-normal level of leverage during the month.
The long awaited market reversal occurred in March. Initially energy, precious
metals and fixed income markets all sold off sharply, while equities and the
U.S. Dollar rallied. Several days into this correction, these markets all sold
off suddenly, as hopes of a quick victory in Iraq subsided. With significantly
reduced leverage, the losses the Fund sustained were relatively modest, giving
the Fund a positive first quarter.
In April, the Fund's leverage was returned to a more normal level, but the
portfolio was not fully engaged in many markets due to the lack of strong
trends. Many markets had calmed significantly at this time, but uncertainty was
still prevalent in global markets due to the many unresolved geopolitical
issues. A strong performance in the currencies sector was partially offset by
negative performances in the metals and stock index sectors.
In May, the uncertainty that remained in April dominated the markets the Fund
trades and led to another positive month. While corporate earnings looked
stronger, unemployment, overcapacity and the ongoing threat of terrorism still
loomed large over the global financial markets. The US dollar weakened further
against the other major currencies despite the concern expressed by the United
States' trade partners over the impact this would have on global trade. Interest
rates were the best performing sector for the Fund particularly at the long end
of the yield curve, where higher prices reflected lower rates. Currency cross
rates were also positive, while losses in the energy, stock index and currency
sectors offset some of those gains.
With a small negative result for June, the Fund finished the first half of 2003
with a solid double-digit return. Profits for the month were earned in the
currency sector while long-term interest rates lost value as yield curves
steepened, particularly the Japanese government bond. Short-term interest rates
and stock index sectors contributed modest gains for the month, while the
energy, metals and currency cross-rates contributed small losses. While the
global economy was looking better than it had for several years, many
substantive uncertainties remained.
The Fund's performance for July was negative due to significant price reversals
in the Fund's largest positions. The U.S. Dollar's strong rally caused losses in
the Fund's currency and cross rate sectors. In addition, the sudden sharp
sell-off in long-term bonds resulted in losses in the Fund's long positions.
These losses were partially offset by gains in the Fund's long equity index
positions as investor confidence grew in the economic recovery and the potential
for improved growth.
The stock indices sector was the best performing sector for the month of August
as the U.S. equity markets posted their sixth straight month of gains. Much of
this was attributed to improving consumer confidence, federal tax cuts and
increased defense spending. The energy sector contributed
-16-
positive returns as crude oil remained above the thirty-dollar level on
continuing supply concerns. Also, the Fund's short positions in the Japanese
Government Bond provided a significant portion of the month's gains.
In September, the currency sector was the only significantly positive sector as
short U.S. Dollar positions benefited from continued weakness in the U.S.
Dollar. After showing positive returns for most of the month, sudden reversals
in the fixed income, equity and energy markets washed out the gains in the
currency sector and put the Fund's portfolio into negative territory late in the
month. The Fund finished the 3rd quarter with a negative return, but was
positive year-to-date.
2002
The return for the nine months ending September 30, 2002 was 17.12%. Of the
17.12% increase, approximately 24.99% was due to trading gains (before
commissions) and approximately 1.25% was due to interest income, offset by
approximately 9.12% due to brokerage fees, performance fees, operating cost and
offering costs borne by the Fund. An analysis of the 24.99% trading gains by
sector is as follows:
SECTOR % GAIN (LOSS)
- ------ -------------
Interest Rates 15.21%
Stock Indices 5.10
Currencies 3.24
Energy 1.94
Metals (.50)
-----
24.99%
=====
During January, the Enron and Global Crossing bankruptcies took a toll on the
U.S. equities markets that were already under pressure and resulted in a
stumbling start to the New Year, as layoffs, earnings restatements and revenue
declines continued to dominate the business news. Internationally, the Japanese
economy continued to deteriorate, while the full extent of any Argentinean
contagion is yet to be acknowledged in Brazil or other parts of South America.
On the positive side, U.S. consumer spending continued to be robust. The Fund
posted a small loss for January, largely as a result of volatility in the global
currency markets. Energy and short stock index positions contributed small
gains.
The high market volatility in January continued into February. Further Enron
revelations radiated concern about the accounting practices of other large
companies and caused the equity markets to decline early in the month. Sentiment
reversed abruptly on positive economic news on home sales, manufacturing and
consumer spending. The Fund's performance was negative in February with losses
in energy, stock indices and long-term interest rates partially offset by gains
in short-term interest rates.
-17-
March was a mixed month in which positive performance in the energy and interest
rate sectors were more than offset by losses in stock indices and currencies,
which make up a substantial part of the Fund's portfolio. The Japanese Yen
produced the largest loss when it rallied in reaction to Bank of Japan
intervention in preparation for their March 31st fiscal year-end as the Fund was
maintaining a short position. Energy was the strongest performing sector
profiting from long positions in crude oil and unleaded gas. The loss in the
stock indices sector came from short positions in the Nikkei and Hang Seng
indices as Asian equities rallied. The overall loss for the month occurred
independently of the equity and bond markets demonstrating the volatility
reducing effect of blending assets whose returns are largely uncorrelated.
April was one of the most difficult trading months since the Fund began trading.
The Fund ended the month down over 4.5%. The fixed income sector was whip-lashed
as hopes of imminent economic recovery sputtered causing the majority of the
trading losses for the month. Broad-based selling of the three leading US equity
indices put them at their lowest levels since October 2001 and contributed to
the Fund's losses for the month. The energy sector was battered by reports of
unfolding events in both Venezuela and the Middle East. Many areas of concern
remain including continued instability in the Middle East, weak corporate
earnings, continued revelations of corporate accounting issues, fear of a
collapse in the residential real estate market, high energy costs and a growing
federal budget deficit due to lower tax receipts.
The month of May finally provided some trending opportunities that the Fund was
able to profit from. The currencies and interest rates sectors provided the
gains for the month, but these were offset by losses in the energy and stock
indices sectors. While the equities markets remained nervous, many alternative
investment strategies, including managed futures, were able to provide positive
returns.
Strong performance in the month of June contributed to a positive second quarter
and more than made up for losses during the beginning of the year. All major US
equity indices made new cycle lows as domestic and international investor
confidence was battered by reports of scandalous corporate leadership conduct.
The long awaited US economic recovery looked sluggish at best. In this troubled
environment, the US dollar lost ground against most major trading partners,
while interest rate futures rose and stock indices declined. These three sectors
contributed significantly to the profits in June, while small losses were
recorded in the metals and energy sectors.
The Fund's positive performance continued in July posting similar numbers as
June. This is the third consecutive month of positive performance and was mainly
attributable to profits in short stock indices and long interest rate positions.
These gains were reduced by small negative performances in metals, currencies
and cross rates as the dollar strengthened against other major currencies, again
rising above parity with the Euro.
In August, the Fund recorded another month of positive performance with profits
in the interest rates, currencies, stock indices and energy sectors. Global
markets continued to respond to weak US economic data and concerns over
geopolitical developments. The much-anticipated US economic recovery continues
to be elusive, while economies in Europe and Japan appear to be stagnant. The
quickened pace of US plans to invade Iraq aroused much international criticism
and concern, which impacted energy prices and investor confidence.
-18-
September was the fifth consecutive month of positive returns for the Fund as
traditional investment strategies continued to struggle. Profits were earned in
the stock indices, interest rates and energy sectors offset by losses in the
currencies sector. Further reports of corporate governance and accounting
failures, the possibility of an unpopular war in the Middle East, rising jobless
claims, disappointing earnings and a gloomy retail outlook were compounded by
high energy prices and systemic instability in Japan and Brazil. In this time of
global economic weakness and uncertainty, the Fund's ability to trade both the
long and short side of a diverse portfolio of international markets proved to be
a beneficial tool.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The term "off-balance sheet risk" refers to an unrecorded potential liability
that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in future
obligation or loss. The Fund trades in futures, forward and swap contracts and
is therefore a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet
market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts there exists a risk to
the Fund, market risk, that such contracts may be significantly influenced by
market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts
being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures
interests positions of the Fund at the same time, and if the Fund's trading
advisor was unable to offset futures interests positions of the Fund, the Fund
could lose all of its assets and the Limited Partners would realize a 100% loss.
Campbell & Company, Inc., the General Partner (who also acts as trading
advisor), minimizes market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions,
diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio
that rarely exceeds 30%.
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward and swap contracts
there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its
obligations to the Fund. The counterparty for futures contracts traded in the
United States and on most foreign exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with
such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of
the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from
the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly
reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the
clearing members, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a
consortium of banks or other financial institutions.
In the case of forward and swap contracts, which are traded on the interbank
market rather than on exchanges, the counterparty is generally a single bank or
other financial institution, rather than a group of financial institutions; thus
there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. Campbell & Company trades for
the Fund only with those counterparties which it believes to be creditworthy.
All positions of the Fund are valued each day on a mark-to-market basis. There
can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other
counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to the Fund.
DISCLOSURES ABOUT CERTAIN TRADING ACTIVITIES THAT INCLUDE NON-EXCHANGE TRADED
CONTRACTS ACCOUNTED FOR AT FAIR VALUE
-19-
The Fund invests in futures, swap and forward currency contracts. The market
value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is determined by the various
futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the
close of the last business day of the reporting period. The market value of swap
and forward (non-exchange traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis
from the spot prices quoted as of 5:00 P.M. (E.T.) of the last business day of
the reporting period or based on the market value of its exchange-traded
equivalent.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTRODUCTION
Past Results Not Necessarily Indicative of Future Performance
The Fund is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held
by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or a substantial
amount of the Fund's assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an
operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not
incidental, to the Fund's main line of business.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the
Fund's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The
Fund's market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the
level and volatility of exchange rates, interest rates, equity price levels, the
market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects
among the Fund's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it
trades.
The Fund rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short positions in a wide
range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a
particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Fund's past
performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Fund could reasonably
be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty
of the Fund's speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by
the Fund of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual
trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the
Fund's experience to date (i.e., "risk of ruin"). Risk of ruin is defined to be
no more than a 5% chance of losing 20% or more on a monthly basis. In light of
the foregoing as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future
projections, the inclusion of the quantification included in this section should
not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Fund's
losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Fund's
attempts to manage its market risk.
Standard of Materiality
Materiality as used in this section, "Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures
About Market Risk," is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market
movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account
the leverage, and multiplier features of the Fund's market sensitive
instruments.
-20-
QUANTIFYING THE FUND'S TRADING VALUE AT RISK
Quantitative Forward-Looking Statements
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Fund's market risk
exposures contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe
harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking
statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical
fact (such as the dollar amount of maintenance margin required for market risk
sensitive instruments held at the end of the reporting period).
The Fund's risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by
Campbell & Company is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the
Fund's mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Fund's open
positions is directly reflected in the Fund's earnings (realized or unrealized).
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Fund as
the measure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by
exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be
incurred in the fair value of any given contract in 95%-99% of any one-day
intervals. The maintenance margin levels are established by dealers and
exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current
market volatility and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate
of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation. Maintenance margin
has been used rather than the more generally available initial margin, because
initial margin includes a credit risk component which is not relevant to Value
at Risk.
In the case of market sensitive instruments which are not
exchange-traded (which includes currencies and some energy products and metals
in the case of the Fund), the margin requirements for the equivalent futures
positions have been used as Value at Risk. In those cases in which a
futures-equivalent margin is not available, dealers' margins have been used.
In the case of contracts denominated in foreign currencies, the Value
at Risk figures include foreign margin amounts converted into U.S. Dollars with
an incremental adjustment to reflect the exchange rate risk inherent to the
Dollar-based Fund in expressing Value at Risk in a functional currency other
than Dollars.
In quantifying the Fund's Value at Risk, 100% positive correlation in
the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed.
Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have
simply been aggregated to determine each trading category's aggregate Value at
Risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Fund's
positions are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been
reflected.
-21-
Value at Risk as calculated herein may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures used by others.
THE FUND'S TRADING VALUE AT RISK IN DIFFERENT MARKET SECTORS
The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with
the Fund's open positions by market category as of September 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002 and the trading gains/losses by market category for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002. All open
position trading risk exposures of the Fund have been included in calculating
the figures set forth below. As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the
Fund's total capitalization was approximately $2,419 million and $1,618 million,
respectively.

due to interest income, offset by approximately 10.80% due to brokerage fees,

MATERIAL LIMITATIONS ON VALUE AT RISK AS AN ASSESSMENT OF MARKET RISK
The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Fund is
typically many times the applicable maintenance margin requirement (maintenance
margin requirements generally ranging between approximately 1% and 10% of
contract face value) as well as many times the capitalization of the Fund. The
magnitude of the Fund's open positions creates a "risk of ruin" not typically
found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of its positions,
certain market conditions -- unusual, but historically recurring from time to
time -- could cause the Fund to incur severe losses over a short period of time.
The foregoing Value at Risk tables -- as well as the past performance of the
Fund -- give no indication of this "risk of ruin."
NON-TRADING RISK
The Fund has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances not
needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as the market risk they
represent) are immaterial. The Fund also has non-trading market risk as a result
of investing a substantial portion of its available assets in U.S. Treasury
Bills. The market risk represented by these investments is immaterial.
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING PRIMARY TRADING RISK EXPOSURES
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Fund's market risk
exposures -- except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical
fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Fund manages its primary market risk
exposures -- constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The
Fund's primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be
used by Campbell & Company for managing such exposures are subject to numerous
uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual
results of the Fund's risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of
such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid
markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals,
changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants,
increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as
well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management
strategies of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund's current market
exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that
any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long-term.
Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment
in the Fund.
The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Fund as of
September 30, 2003, by market sector.
Currencies
-23-
Exchange rate risk is the principal market exposure of the Fund. The
Fund's currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily
fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between
different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by
interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The
Fund trades in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates -- i.e.,
positions between two currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Campbell & Company
does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Fund's currency sector will
change significantly in the future.
Interest Rates
Interest rate risk is a significant market exposure of the Fund.
Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond
positions held by the Fund and indirectly the value of its stock index and
currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative
interest rate movements between countries materially impact the Fund's
profitability. The Fund's primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate
fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries. Additionally, the
Fund takes positions in the government debt of Switzerland. Campbell & Company
anticipates that G-7 interest rates will remain the primary market exposure of
the Fund for the foreseeable future. The changes in interest rates which have
the most effect on the Fund are changes in long-term, as opposed to short-term
rates. Most of the speculative positions held by the Fund are in medium- to
long-term instruments. Consequently, even a material change in short-term rates
would have little effect on the Fund were the medium- to long-term rates to
remain steady.
Stock Indices
The Fund's primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-7
countries and several other countries (Hong Kong, Spain and Taiwan). The stock
index futures traded by the Fund are by law limited to futures on broadly based
indices. As of September 30, 2003, the Fund's primary exposures were in the S&P
500 (USA), DAX (Germany), NASDAQ (USA), FTSE (U.K.), IBEX (Spain), Euro STOXX 50
and Nikkei (Japan) stock indices. The Fund is primarily exposed to the risk of
adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Japanese
indices. (Static markets would not cause major market changes but would make it
difficult for the Fund to avoid being "whipsawed" into numerous small losses.)
Energy
The Fund's primary energy market exposure is to gas and oil price
movements, often resulting from political developments and ongoing conflicts in
the Middle East. As of September 30, 2003, crude oil, heating oil and natural
gas are the dominant energy market exposures of the Fund. Oil and gas prices can
be volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to
continue to be experienced in this market.
Metals
-24-
The Fund's metals market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of
aluminum, copper, gold, nickel and zinc. The risk allocation to the metal sector
has not exceeded 3% of the Fund's portfolio during the nine months ended
September 30, 2003.
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-TRADING RISK EXPOSURE
The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Fund as
of September 30, 2003.
Foreign Currency Balances
The Fund's primary foreign currency balances are in Japanese Yen,
British Pounds and Euros. The Fund controls the non-trading risk of these
balances by regularly converting these balances back into dollars (no less
frequently than twice a month, and more frequently if a particular foreign
currency balance becomes unusually large).
Treasury Bill Positions
The Fund's only market exposure in instruments held other than for
trading is in its Treasury Bill portfolio. The Fund holds Treasury Bills
(interest bearing and credit risk-free) with durations no longer than six
months. Violent fluctuations in prevailing interest rates could cause immaterial
mark-to-market losses on the Fund's Treasury Bills, although substantially all
of these short-term investments are held to maturity.
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING MEANS OF MANAGING RISK EXPOSURE
The means by which Campbell & Company attempts to manage the risk of
the Fund's open positions is essentially the same in all market categories
traded. Campbell & Company applies risk management policies to its trading which
generally limit the total exposure that may be taken per "risk unit" of assets
under management. In addition, Campbell & Company follows diversification
guidelines (often formulated in terms of the balanced volatility between markets
and correlated groups), as well as imposing "stop-loss" points at which open
positions must be closed out.
Campbell & Company controls the risk of the Fund's non-trading
instruments (Treasury Bills held for cash management purposes) by limiting the
duration of such instruments to no more than six months.
GENERAL
The Fund is unaware of any (i) anticipated known demands, commitments
or capital expenditures; (ii) material trends, favorable or unfavorable, in its
capital resources; or (iii) trends or uncertainties that will have a material
effect on operations. From time to time, certain regulatory agencies have
proposed increased margin requirements on futures contracts. Because the Fund
generally will use a small percentage of assets as margin, the Fund does not
believe that any increase in margin requirements, as proposed, will have a
material effect on the Fund's operations.
