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. Investment transactions are accounted for on the
trade date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are
liquidated. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the
difference between contract trade price and 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 include other trading fees 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 March 31, 2004, the Fund reflects a
liability in the statement of financial condition for offering costs
payable to Campbell & Company of $1,527,426. 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 March 31, 2004, the
amount of unreimbursed offering costs incurred by Campbell & Company
is $8,575,679.
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.
H. Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 2003 financial statements were reclassified
to conform with the 2004 presentation.
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.

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 for execution and clearing costs
is limited to 1/12 of 1% (1% annualized) of month-end net assets.
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
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.
Note 5. SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
Investments in the Fund are made by subscription agreement, subject to
acceptance by Campbell & Company. As of March 31 2004, amounts received
by the Fund from prospective limited partners who have not yet been
admitted to the Fund by Campbell & Company totaled $226,374.
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.

CAMPBELL STRATEGIC ALLOCATION FUND, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
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 March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was $2,797,623,398
and $1,923,690,052, respectively, which equals 76% and 68% of Net Asset
Value, respectively. The cash deposited with interbank and other market
makers included in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003 was $625,970,466 and $535,480,647, respectively, which
equals 17% and 19% of Net Asset Value, respectively.
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.
For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the
contracts. Theoretically, the Fund is exposed to a market risk equal to
the notional contract value of futures, forward and swap contracts
purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
The unrealized gain (loss) on open futures, forward and swap contracts
is comprised of the following:

Note 6. TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS (CONTINUED)
Open contracts generally mature within three months; as of March 31,
2004, the latest maturity date for open futures contracts is December
2004, and the latest maturity date for open forward and swap contracts
is June 2004. 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 $3,142,799,605 have
been accepted during the continuing offering period as of March 31, 2004.
Redemptions over the same time period total $525,545,887. The Fund commenced
operations on April 18, 1994.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the
financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could
differ from those estimates. The Fund's significant accounting policies are
described in detail in Note 1 of the Financial Statements.
The Fund records all investments at fair value in its financial statements, with
changes in fair value reported as a component of realized and change in
unrealized trading gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Generally, fair
values are based on market prices; however, in certain circumstances, estimates
are involved in determining fair value in the absence of an active market
closing price (e.g. swap and forward contracts which are traded in the
inter-bank market).
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
-15-
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 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, forward and swap 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 are 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 three months ending March 31, 2004 and 2003 were 13.64% and
10.54%, respectively.
2004
For the 2004 year-to-date increase of 13.64%, approximately 18.70% was due to
trading gains (before commissions) and approximately 0.22% was due to interest
income, offset by approximately 5.28% due to brokerage fees, performance fees,
and operating and offering costs borne by the Fund. An analysis of the 18.70%
trading gains by sector is as follows:

Interest Rates 11.38%
Currencies 6.56
Energy 1.34

=====
The year began with the Fund posting a positive return in January despite
significant volatility throughout the month. The weak U.S. Dollar continued to
drive most global markets, including many that had no apparent or direct
connection to the Dollar, and in circumstances such as this, subtle shifts in
perception can have a disproportionate impact on prices. The Dollar traded lower
throughout the month, which was profitable for the Fund's currency positions.
Much of the gain reversed late in the month when markets reacted violently when
the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) slightly restated its short-term
interest rate bias. The interest rate sector was slightly positive despite also
having suffered a reversal of earlier gains following the FOMC announcement. The
stock index and metals sectors had small losses for the month.
The Fund had a strong positive return in February as the trends that were in
place at the end of January persisted. The continued concern over the record
U.S. budget deficit and current account imbalance kept downward pressure on the
U.S. Dollar and resulted in strong gains in the currency sector. The weak Dollar
in return reinforced several related trends, including the continued rise in
energy prices, resulting in positive returns in the energy sector. The interest
rates sector was also profitable for the month as European interest rate
instruments traded higher on diminished rate-cut expectations.
All of the gain for the month of March came from the interest rate sector as
U.S. Treasuries continued to trade higher, while a weakening U.S. Dollar also
contributed solid returns. The energy sector was moderately positive, while the
equity index sector was moderately negative.
2003
For the 2003 year-to-date increase of the 10.54%, approximately 13.81% was due
to trading gains before commissions) and approximately .29% was due to interest
income, offset by approximately 3.56% due to brokerage fees, performance fees,
operating cost and offering costs borne by the Fund. An analysis of the 13.81%
trading gains by sector is as follows:
-17-

------ -------------
Currencies 7.03%
Energy 4.99
Interest Rates 1.74
Stock Indices 0.09
Metals (0.04)

13.81%
=====
The long-term trends that created opportunity for the Fund in 2002 continued in
January 2003, in which profits were earned in every sector. However, the
environment was one where a single event, the prospect of war with Iraq, was
driving the Fund's whole portfolio. 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.
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%.
-18-
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
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
-19-
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, "Quantitative and Qualitative
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.
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
-20-
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.
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 March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003 and the trading gains/losses by market category for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 and the year then ended December 31, 2003. All open
position trading risk exposures of the Fund have been included in calculating
the figures set forth below. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the
Fund's total capitalization was approximately $3.688 billion and $2.828 billion,
respectively.

performance fees and operating and offering costs borne by the Fund.
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
-22-
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
March 31, 2004, by market sector.
Currencies
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
-23-
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 March 31, 2004, the Fund's primary exposures were in the DAX
(Germany), Nikkei (Japan), Euro STOXX 50 and S&P 500 (USA) 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 March 31, 2004, crude oil and heating oil 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
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 1% of the Fund's portfolio during the three months ended March
31, 2004.
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-TRADING RISK EXPOSURE
The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Fund as of
March 31, 2004.
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
-24-
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.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Campbell & Company, Inc., the general partner of the Fund, with the
participation of the general partner's chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation
of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) with respect to the Fund as of the end
of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on their evaluation, the
chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that these
disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in the
general partner's internal control over financial reporting applicable to the
Fund identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the last fiscal quarter
that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Fund.
