PART I
Item 1.   Business
Overview
          Campbell Strategic Allocation Fund, L.P. (the “Registrant” or the “Fund”) is a limited partnership, which was organized on May 11, 1993 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Registrant operates as a commodity investment pool, whose purpose is to trade speculatively in the U.S. and international futures, forward and option markets. Specifically, the Fund trades a portfolio primarily focused on financial futures, which are instruments designed to hedge or speculate on changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates or stock index values. A secondary emphasis is on metals, energy and agriculture values.
     The general partner and trading advisor of the Registrant is Campbell & Company, Inc. (“Campbell & Company”). In addition to making all trading decisions in its capacity as trading advisor, Campbell & Company conducts and manages all aspects of the business and administration of the Registrant in its role as general partner. Campbell & Company uses a systematic trading approach combined with quantitative portfolio management analysis and seeks to identify and profit from price movements in the futures, forward and option markets. Multiple trading models are utilized across most markets traded. Each model analyzes market movements and internal market and price configurations in order to generate signals to be executed through a variety of execution platforms.
     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 provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act, 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 market makers through which the Fund trades..
          The Registrant originally filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale of a minimum of $2,500,000 and a maximum of $25,000,000 in Units of Limited Partnership Interest at $1,000 each, which registration statement was effective on January 12, 1994. The Fund has since filed additional registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to bring the sum of existing and offered Units of Limited Partnership Interest to a maximum of approximately $6,410,000,000 through December 2009. The Unit selling price during the initial offering period, which lasted for approximately 90 days and ended on April 15, 1994, was $1,000. Since April 15, 1994, Units of Limited Partnership Interest of the Fund have been offered on an ongoing basis during the Fund’s continuing offering period. During the continuing offering period, subscriptions are accepted monthly and proceeds are transferred to bank and brokerage accounts for trading purposes. The Unit selling price during the continuing offering period is the net asset value per unit as of the last business day of the month in which the subscription is accepted.
          Effective June 14, 2008, Units in the Fund were no longer offered for sale. For existing investors in the Fund, business has been and will be conducted as usual. There will be no change in trading, operations or monthly statements, etc. and redemptions will continue to be offered on a monthly basis. On December 18, 2009, a registration statement was filed to reopen the Fund to existing investors. As of March 31, 2010, the registration is not yet effective.
          A total of $6,078,611,354 was raised during the initial and continuing offering periods ending June 30, 2008.
          The Registrant will be terminated and dissolved promptly thereafter upon the happening of the earlier of: (a) the expiration of the Registrant’s stated term of December 31, 2023; (b) an election to dissolve the Registrant at any time by Limited Partners owning more than 50% of the Units then outstanding; (c) the withdrawal of Campbell &

Company, unless one or more new general partners have been elected or appointed pursuant to the Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership (d) Campbell & Company determines that the purpose of the Fund cannot be fulfilled; or (e) any event which shall make unlawful the continuing existence of the Registrant.
Regulation
          Under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “Act”), commodity exchanges and commodity futures trading are subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”). The National Futures Association (the “NFA”), a registered futures association under the Act, is the only non-exchange self-regulatory organization for commodity industry professionals. The CFTC has delegated to the NFA responsibility for the registration of “commodity trading advisors,” “commodity pool operators,” “futures commission merchants,” “introducing brokers” and their respective associated persons and “floor brokers.” The Act requires “commodity pool operators,” and “commodity trading advisors,” such as Campbell & Company, and commodity brokers or “futures commission merchants,” such as the Registrant’s commodity broker, to be registered and to comply with various reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Campbell & Company and the Registrant’s commodity broker are members of the NFA. The CFTC may suspend a commodity pool operator’s or commodity trading advisor’s registration if it finds that its trading practices tend to disrupt orderly market conditions, or as the result of violations of the Commodity Exchange Act or rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In the event Campbell & Company’s registration as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor were terminated or suspended, Campbell & Company would be unable to continue to manage the business of the Registrant. Should Campbell & Company’s registration be suspended, termination of the Registrant might result.
          In addition to such registration requirements, the CFTC and certain commodity exchanges have established limits on the maximum net long and net short positions which any person, including the Registrant, may hold or control in particular commodities. Most exchanges also limit the maximum changes in futures contract prices that may occur during a single trading day. The Registrant also trades in dealer markets for forward and option contracts, which are not regulated by the CFTC. Federal and state banking authorities also do not regulate forward trading or forward dealers. In addition, the Registrant trades on foreign commodity exchanges, which are not subject to regulation by any United States government agency.
     The CFTC has recently proposed the imposition of position limits on energy futures contracts such as crude oil, heating oil, natural gas, gasoline and other energy products. We do not anticipate these limits, if accepted, will affect the Fund’s ability to trade, but it is possible that they may in the future if either or both Fund’s assets increase dramatically.
     It is impossible to predict what additional interim or permanent governmental restrictions may be imposed on the markets and/or effect of such restrictions on the trading adviors’s strategies. However, the trading advisor believes that there is a high likelihood of significantly increased regulation of the financial markets, and that such increased regulation could be detrimental to the Fund.
Operations
          The Registrant conducts its business in one industry segment, the speculative trading of futures, forwards and option contracts. The Registrant is a market participant in the “managed futures” industry. The managed futures industry has grown substantially in the previous ten years. Market participants include all types of investors, such as corporations, employee benefit plans, individuals and foreign investors. Service providers of the managed futures industry include (a) pool operators, which conduct and manage all aspects of trading funds (except trading decisions), such as the Registrant, (b) trading advisors, which make the specific trading decisions, and (c) commodity brokers, which execute and clear the trades pursuant to the instructions of the trading advisor. The Registrant has no employees, and does not engage in the sale of goods or services.
          The Registrant engages in financial instrument trading in approximately 50 financial instrument contracts on domestic and international markets. All of the Fund’s assets are currently allocated to the Financial, Metal &

Energy Large Portfolio (“FME Large”). The FME Large Portfolio seeks exposure to financial markets, such as interest rates, foreign exchange and stock indices, as well as metals, energy products, soft commodities and other commodities. The FME Large Portfolio seeks exposure to these markets by following signals generated by a series of systematic computer models. The FME Large Portfolio employs a broad spectrum of models including traditional and factor-based trend following models, as well as a number of macroeconomic-based models. As of December 2009, the percentage of component risk for each major sector was as follows: 50% to currencies, 20% to commodity products, 18% to stock indices and 12% to interest rates. The contracts traded by the Registrant will fluctuate from time to time.
          The Registrant may, in the future, experience increased competition for the futures and other contracts in which it trades. Campbell & Company will recommend similar or identical trades for other accounts under its management. Such competition may also increase due to the widespread utilization of computerized methods similar to those used by Campbell & Company.
          During 2009, The Fund appointed Wilmington Trust Investment Management LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wilmington Trust Corporation, and Horizon Cash Management L.L.C. as cash managers (the “Cash Managers”) under Non-Custody Investment Advisory Agreements dated July 8, 2009, to manage and control the liquid assets of the Fund. Both Cash Managers are registered as investment advisers with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Cash Managers specialize in investments which are predominately short-term in maturity and high grade, high quality in nature with particular emphasis on U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government Agencies’ issues.
     The Fund opened custodial accounts at The Northern Trust Company (the “Custodian”), and has granted the Cash Managers a limited power of attorney over such accounts. Such power of attorney gives the Cash Managers authority to make certain investments on behalf of the Funds provided such investments are consistent with the investment guidelines created by the trading advisor to both Funds. Such investments include, but are not limited to, U.S. Treasury securities, securities issued by U.S. Government Agencies, high quality money-market securities and repurchase agreements. All securities purchased by the Cash Managers on behalf of the Fund or other liquid funds of the Fund will be held in its custody accounts at the custodian. The Cash Managers will have no beneficial or other interest in the securities and cash in such custody accounts.

Other Information
          The Fund files quarterly, annual and current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These reports are available to read and copy at the SEC’s Public Reference Facilities in Washington, D.C. at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC’s toll free number, 1-800-SEC-0330, for further information. The Fund does not maintain a website where these reports are posted. However, the Fund’s filings are posted on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
The following is a discussion of the risk factors applicable to the Registrant:
You Could Possibly Lose Your Total Investment in the Fund
     Futures, forward and option contracts have a high degree of price variability and are subject to occasional rapid and substantial changes. Consequently, you could lose all or a substantial amount of your investment in the Fund.
The Fund is Highly Leveraged
     Because the amount of margin funds necessary to be deposited in order to enter into a futures, forward or option contract position is typically about 2% to 10% of the total value of the contract, Campbell & Company is able to hold positions in the Fund’s account with face values equal to several times the Fund’s net asset value. The ratio of margin to equity is typically 10% to 30%. As a result of this leveraging, even a small movement in the price of a contract can cause major losses.
Changes In Financing Policies or the Imposition of Other Credit Limitations or Restrictions Could Compel the Fund to Liquidate Positions at Disadvantageous Prices
     The Fund may utilize and may depend on the availability of credit in order to trade their portfolios. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain adequate financing arrangements under all market circumstances. As a general matter, the dealers that provide financing to the Fund can apply essentially discretionary margin, haircut, financing security and collateral valuation policies. Changes by dealers in such financing policies, or the imposition of other credit limitations or restrictions, whether due to market circumstances or governmental, regulatory or judicial action, may result in large margin calls, loss of financing, forced liquidation of positions at disadvantageous prices, termination of swap and repurchase agreements and cross-defaults to agreements with other dealers. Any such adverse effects may be exacerbated in the event that such limitations or restrictions are imposed suddenly and/or by multiple market participants at or about the same time. The imposition of such limitations or restrictions could compel the Fund to liquidate all or part of their portfolios at disadvantageous prices. In recent months, banks and dealers have substantially curtailed financing activities and increased collateral requirements, forcing many hedge funds to liquidate.

Your Investment Could be Illiquid
     Futures, forward and option positions cannot always be liquidated at the desired price; this can occur when the market is thinly traded (i.e., a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders) or in the event of disrupted markets and other extraordinary events in which historical pricing relationships become materially distorted. The financing available to the Fund from banks, dealers and other counterparties is likely to be restricted in disrupted markets. The Fund may incur material losses and the risk of loss from pricing distortions is compounded by the fact that in disrupted markets many positions become illiquid making it difficult or impossible to close out positions against which the markets are moving. For example, in 1994, 1998 and again from 2007—2009 (it appears at this time that the 2007-2009 liquidity crisis has eased, however the potential of future liquidity issues continues to be a concern) there was a sudden restriction of credit by the dealer community that resulted in forced liquidations and major losses for a number of private investment funds. Campbell & Company was not forced to liquidate positions during the 1994, 1998 or 2007—2009 liquidity crises. However, it is possible that in the future, in such situations, Campbell & Company may be unable for some time to liquidate certain unprofitable positions thereby increasing the loss to the Fund from the trade. Additionally, foreign governments may take or be subject to political actions which disrupt the markets in their currency or major exports, such as energy products or metals. Market disruptions caused by unexpected political, military and terrorist events may from time to time cause dramatic losses for the Fund, and such events can result in otherwise historically low-risk strategies performing with unprecedented volatility and risk. Any of these actions could also result in losses to the Fund. A subscription for Units should be considered only by persons financially able to maintain their investment and who can afford the loss of all or substantially all of such investment.
     Also, there is no secondary market for the Units and none is expected to develop. While the Units have redemption rights, there are restrictions, and possible fees assessed. For example, redemptions from the Fund can occur only at the end of a month. If a large number of redemption requests were to be received at one time for the Fund, the Fund might have to liquidate positions to satisfy the requests. Such a forced liquidation could adversely affect the Fund and consequently your investment.
     Transfers of interest in the Units are subject to limitations, such as 30 days’ advance notice of any intent to transfer. Also, Campbell & Company may deny a request to transfer if it determines that the transfer may result in adverse legal or tax consequences for the Fund.
Forward and Option Transactions are Over-the-Counter, are Not Regulated and are Subject to Credit Risk
     The Fund trades forward and option contracts in foreign currencies. Such contracts are typically traded over-the-counter through a dealer market, which is dominated by major money center and investment 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 the Fund. The market for forward and option contracts relies upon the integrity of market participants in lieu of the additional regulation imposed by the CFTC on participants in the futures markets. This regulation includes, for example, trading practices and other customer protection requirements, and minimum financial and trade reporting requirements. The absence of regulation could expose the Fund to significant losses in the event of trading abuses or financial failure by participants in the forward and option markets which it might otherwise have avoided. Also, the Fund faces the risk of non-performance by its counterparties to forward and option contracts and such non-performance may cause some or all of its gains to remain unrealized.
     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 the Fund’s assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits, if any. Campbell & Company seeks to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and maintaining the Fund’s assets at financial institutions and brokers that Campbell & Company believes to be creditworthy.

5


 

Options on Futures and Over-the-Counter Contracts are Speculative and Highly Leveraged
     Options on futures and over-the-counter contracts may be used by the Fund to generate premium income or capital gains. The buyer of an option risks losing the entire purchase price (the premium as well as any commissions and fees) 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, futures or forward 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 commodity, futures or forward contracts underlying an option cannot accurately be predicted. Successful options trading requires an accurate assessment of near-term volatility in the underlying instruments, as that volatility is immediately reflected in the price of the option. Correct assessment of market volatility can therefore be of much greater significance in trading options than it is in trading futures and forwards, where volatility may not have as great an effect on price.
An Investment in the Fund May Not Diversify an Overall Portfolio
     Historically, alternative investments such as managed futures funds 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, forward and option contracts on the one hand and stocks or bonds on the 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, the Fund cannot be expected to be automatically profitable during unfavorable periods for the stock market or vice versa. The futures, forward and option markets are fundamentally different from the securities markets in that for every gain made in a futures, forward or option transaction, the opposing side of that transaction will have an equal and off-setting loss. If the Fund 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 the Fund may have no gains to offset your losses from other investments.
The Current Markets are Subject to Market Disruptions and Governmental Intervention That May Be a Detriment to Your Investment
     The global financial markets are currently undergoing pervasive and fundamental disruptions which have led to extensive and unprecedented governmental intervention. Such intervention has, in certain cases, been implemented on an “emergency” basis, suddenly and substantially eliminating market participants’ ability to continue to implement certain strategies or manage the risk of their outstanding positions. In addition, as one would expect given the complexities of the financial markets and the limited time frame within which governments have felt compelled to take action, these interventions have typically been unclear in scope and application, resulting in confusion and uncertainty which in itself has been materially detrimental to the efficient functioning of the markets as well as to previously successful investment strategies. Confusion and uncertainty have also resulted from the apparent inconsistency which has characterized recent governmental actions. For example, while the Federal Reserve assisted or otherwise intervened with respect to certain distressed financial institutions, it refused to do so for others. Such inconsistency has caused both severe losses for a number of market participants, who assumed either no intervention or intervention consistent with past precedent, and contributed to the general uncertainty and resulting illiquidity of the markets.
     The U.S. “bailout” of financial institutions is the largest governmental intervention in the history of the U.S. financial markets. Moreover, the form of the “bailout” continues to shift as the impact of the current financial crisis is further analyzed. For example, the Troubled Asset Relief Program was initially designed to purchase illiquid mortgage-backed securities. Funds were then used to inject capital directly into certain consumer-oriented financial companies. In further response to this crisis, the U.S. government enacted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (the “EESA”), the largest governmental intervention in the history of the U.S. financial markets. In connection with the EESA, it seems highly likely that the U.S. Congress will require that new market restrictions be applied to the U.S. financial markets, restrictions which may have a material adverse impact on both the future competitiveness of these markets as well as the profit potential of the Fund. Regulations in other jurisdictions also appear likely to take similar action.

     The CFTC has recently proposed the imposition of position limits on energy futures contracts such as crude oil, heating oil, natural gas, gasoline and other energy products. We do not anticipate these limits, if accepted, will affect the Fund’s ability to trade, but it is possible that they may in the future if either or both Fund’s assets increase dramatically.
     It is impossible to predict what additional interim or permanent governmental restrictions may be imposed on the markets and/or effect of such restrictions on the trading manager’s strategies. However, the trading advisor believes that there is a high likelihood of significantly increased regulation of the financial markets, and that such increased regulation could be detrimental to the Fund.
The Fund is a Party to Financial Instruments With Elements of Off-Balance Sheet Risk, Which Causes the Fund to Lose All of Its Assets
     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 options contracts and are 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%; however, these precautions may not be effective in limiting the risk of loss.
Trading Risks
There are Disadvantages to Making Trading Decisions Based Primarily on Technical Market Data
     The trading systems used by Campbell & Company for the Fund is primarily technical. The profitability of trading under these systems depends on, among other things, the occurrence of significant price movements, up or down, in futures, forward or option prices. Such price movements may not develop; there have been periods in the past without such price movements.
     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, Campbell & Company’s historic price analysis could establish positions on the wrong side of the price movements caused by such events.
Increased Competition from Other Trend-Following Traders Could Reduce Campbell & Company’s Profitability
     There has been a dramatic increase in the volume of assets managed by trend-following trading systems like some of the Campbell & Company programs. For example, in 1980, the assets in the managed futures industry were estimated at approximately $300 million; by the third quarter of 2009, this estimate had risen to approximately $212.6 billion. Increased trading competition from other trend-following traders could operate to the detriment of the Fund. It may become more difficult for the Fund to implement its trading strategies if other trading advisors using technical systems are, at the same time, also attempting to initiate or liquidate futures, forward or option positions, or otherwise alter trading patterns.
Limits Imposed by Futures Exchanges or Other Regulatory Organizations, Such As Speculative Position Limits and Daily Price Fluctuation Limits, May Alter Trading Decisions for the Fund
     The CFTC and U.S. futures exchanges have established limits, known as speculative position limits, on the maximum net long or net short positions that any person may hold or control in certain futures and option on futures contracts. Most U.S. futures exchanges also have established “daily price fluctuation limits” which preclude the execution of trades at prices outside of the limit. Contract prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for

7


 

several consecutive days with little or no trading. All accounts controlled by Campbell & Company are combined for speculative position limit purposes. If positions in those accounts were to approach the level of the particular speculative position limit, or if prices were to approach the level of the daily limit, these limits could cause a modification of Campbell & Company’s trading decisions for the Fund or force the liquidation of certain futures or options on futures positions. Either of these actions may not be in the best interest of the investors. From time to time, the CFTC or the exchanges may suspend trading in market disruption circumstances. In these cases, it is possible that Campbell & Company, as trading advisor, could be required to maintain a losing position that it otherwise would exit and incur significant losses or be unable to establish a position and miss a profit opportunity.
Increase in Assets Under Management May Make Profitable Trading More Difficult
     Campbell & Company has not agreed to limit the amount of additional equity which it may manage. The more equity Campbell & Company manages, the more difficult it may be for Campbell & Company 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 Campbell & Company to modify its trading decisions for the Fund which could have a detrimental effect on your investment. Such considerations may also cause Campbell & Company to eliminate smaller markets from consideration for inclusion in its Financial, Metal & Energy Large, reducing the range of markets in which trading opportunities may be pursued. Campbell & Company reserves the right to make distributions of profits to limited partners in an effort to control asset growth. In addition, Campbell & Company may have an incentive to favor other accounts because the compensation received from some other accounts may exceed the compensation it receives from managing the Fund’s account. Because records with respect to other accounts are not accessible to limited partners in the Fund, the limited partners will not be able to determine if Campbell & Company is favoring other accounts.
Investors Will Not be Able to View the Funds’ Holdings on a Daily Basis, Which May Result in Unanticipated Losses
     Campbell & Company makes the Fund’s trading decisions. While Campbell & Company receives daily trade confirmations from the futures brokers and over-the-counter counterparties, the Fund’s trading results are reported to limited partners monthly. Accordingly, an investment in the Fund does not offer limited partners the same transparency, i.e., an ability to review all investment positions daily, that a personal trading account offers. As a result, you may suffer unanticipated losses due to the Fund’s holdings.
Tax Risks
Investors are Taxed Based on Their Share of the Fund’s Profits
     Investors are taxed each year on their share of the Fund’s profits, if any, irrespective of whether they redeem any Units or receive any cash distributions from the Fund. Campbell & Company has the authority to make such distributions at any time in its sole discretion.
Tax Could be Due from Investors on Their Share of the Fund’s Ordinary Income Despite Overall Losses
     Investors may be required to pay tax on their allocable share of the Fund’s ordinary income, which in the case of the Fund is the Fund’s interest income, gain on some foreign futures contracts, and certain other investment assets, even though the Fund incurs overall losses. Capital losses of individual taxpayers can be used only to offset capital gains and $3,000 of ordinary income each year. Consequently, if an individual 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 remaining $7,000 capital loss 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.

There Could be a Limit on the Deductibility of Brokerage and Performance Fees
     Although the Fund treats the brokerage fees and performance fees paid to Campbell & Company and other expenses of the Fund as ordinary and necessary business expenses, upon an IRS audit the Fund may be required to treat such fees as “investment advisory fees” if the Fund’s trading activities did not constitute a trade or business for tax purposes. If the limited partner’s share of expenses were deemed to be investment advisory fees, a limited partner’s tax liability would likely increase because of statutory limitations applicable to miscellaneous itemized deductions, including investment advisory fees, of individual taxpayers. 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 the Fund’s capital gain or as an increase in the Fund’s 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
     The Fund is subject to substantial charges payable irrespective of profitability, in addition to performance fees which are payable based on the Fund’s profitability. Included in these charges are brokerage fees and operating expenses. On the Fund’s forward and option trading, “bid-ask” spreads and prime brokerage fees are incorporated into the pricing of the Fund’s forward and option contracts by the counterparties in addition to the brokerage fees paid by the Fund. It is not possible to quantify the “bid-ask” spreads paid by the Fund because the Fund cannot determine the profit its counterparty is making on the forward and option transactions. Such spreads can at times be significant. In addition, while currently not contemplated, each Limited Partnership Agreement allows for changes to be made to the brokerage fee and performance fee upon sixty days’ notice to the limited partners.
The Fund’s Service Providers Could Fail, Which May Result in Losses to the Fund
     The institutions, including but not limited to, the futures brokers, over-the-counter counterparties, the cash managers and the custodian, with which the Fund trades or invests may encounter financial difficulties that impair the operational capabilities or the capital position of the Fund. The futures brokers are generally required by U.S. law to segregate all funds received from such brokers’ customers from such brokers’ proprietary assets. If the futures brokers do not do so to the full extent required by law, the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the futures brokers. Furthermore, in the event of the futures brokers’ bankruptcy, the Fund could lose the entire amount, or be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the futures brokers’ combined customer accounts, even though certain property specifically traceable to the Fund (for example, Treasury bills deposited by the Fund with the futures brokers as margin) was held by the futures brokers. Furthermore, dealers in forward and option contracts are not regulated by the Commodity Exchange Act and are not obligated to segregate customer assets. The futures brokers have been the subject of regulatory and private causes of action.
     The recent events surrounding the bankruptcies or similar proceedings with respect to various parties have demonstrated the risk that assets that traders such as the Fund believed were custodial under statutory and regulatory protections could be subject to various risks, and apparently significant losses incurred by many hedge funds in relation to the bankruptcy and/or administration of Lehman Brothers Holdings and its affiliates illustrate the risks incurred in other derivatives trading and brokerage arrangements. Although Campbell & Company had no assets held at Lehman Brothers or its affiliates at the time of its bankruptcy, and accounts held by Campbell & Company suffered no losses as a result of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, there is no guarantee that Campbell & Company traded assets would be immune from such losses if a similar scenario were to occur in the future.

Investors Must Not Rely on the Past Performance of Either Campbell & Company or the Fund in Deciding Whether to Buy Units
     The future performance of the Fund is not predictable, and no assurance can be given that the Fund will perform successfully in the future in as much as past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Additionally, the markets in which the Fund operates have been severely disrupted over the past year or more, so results observed in earlier periods may have little relevance to the results observable in the current environment.
Conflicts of Interest Exist in the Structure and Operation of the Fund
     Campbell & Company has not established any formal procedures to resolve the following conflicts of interest. Consequently, there is no independent control over how Campbell & Company resolves these conflicts which can be relied upon by investors as ensuring that the Fund are treated equitably with other Campbell & Company clients.
     Campbell & Company has a conflict of interest because it acts as the general partner and sole trading advisor for the Fund.
     Since Campbell & Company acts as both trading advisor and general partner for the Fund, it is very unlikely that its advisory contract will be terminated by the Fund. The fees payable to Campbell & Company were established by it and were not the subject of arm’s-length negotiation. These fees on the Strategic Allocation Fund consist of a (i) brokerage fee of up to 8% of the Strategic Allocation Fund’s month-end net asset value per annum (prior to accruals for such brokerage fee or performance fees) (of which 3% is retained by Campbell & Company) and (ii) quarterly performance fee equal to 20% of aggregate cumulative appreciation in the Strategic Allocation Fund’s net asset value per Unit, if any, excluding interest income and redemptions and as adjusted for subscriptions and redemptions. Campbell & Company, as general partner, determines whether or not distributions are made and it receives increased fees to the extent distributions are not made.
     Subject to the limit on selling agent compensation, selling agents will be entitled to ongoing compensation as a result of their clients remaining in the Fund, so a conflict exists between the selling agent’s interest in maximizing compensation and in advising its clients to make investment decisions in the client’s best interests.
There Are No Independent Experts Representing Investors
     Campbell & Company has consulted with counsel, accountants and other experts regarding the formation and operation of the Fund. 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 the Fund.
The Fund Places Significant Reliance on Campbell & Company and the Incapacity of its Principals Could Adversely Affect the Fund
     The incapacity of Campbell & Company’s principals could have a material and adverse effect on Campbell & Company’s ability to discharge its obligations under the advisory agreement. However, there are no individual principals at Campbell & Company whose absence would result in a material and adverse effect on Campbell & Company’s ability to adequately carry out its advisory responsibilities.
The Fund Could Terminate Before You Achieve Your Investment Objective Causing Potential Loss of Your Investment or Disrupting Your Investment Portfolio Allocation
     As general partner of the Fund, Campbell & Company may withdraw from the Fund upon 120 days’ notice, which would cause the Fund to terminate unless a substitute general partner were obtained. Other events, such as a long-term substantial loss suffered by the Fund, could also cause the Fund 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 Campbell & Company or the futures brokers were revoked or suspended, such entity would no longer be able to provide services to the Fund.

The Fund Is Not A Regulated Investment Company and Therefore Is Subject to Different Protections Than a Regulated Investment Company
     Although the Fund and Campbell & Company are subject to regulation by the CFTC, the Fund is an investment company subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Campbell & Company is not registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Accordingly, you do not have the protections afforded by those statutes which, for example, requires investment companies to have a majority of disinterested directors and regulates the relationship between the adviser and the investment company.
Forwards, Options, Swaps, Hybrids and Other Derivatives are Not Subject to CFTC Regulation; Therefore, the Fund Will Not Receive the Same Protections on These Transactions
     The Fund trades foreign exchange contracts and options in the interbank market. In the future, the Fund may also trade swaps, 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. The dealer market for off-exchange instruments is becoming more liquid. There is no exchange or clearinghouse for these contracts and they are not regulated by the CFTC. The Fund will not receive the protections which are provided by the CFTC’s regulatory scheme for these transactions.
The Fund is Subject to Foreign Market Credit and Regulatory Risk
     A substantial portion of Campbell & Company’s trades takes place on markets or exchanges outside the United States. From time to time, over 50% of the Fund’s overall market exposure could involve positions taken on foreign markets. 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, nor do they have 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 Fund is Subject to Foreign Exchange Risk
     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 a position is established 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, the Fund may not have the same access to certain positions on foreign exchanges as do local traders, and the historical market data on which Campbell & Company bases its strategies may not be as reliable or accessible as it is in the United States. The rights of clients (such as the Fund) 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.
Transfers Could be Restricted
     You may transfer or assign your Units only upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Campbell & Company and only if Campbell & Company is satisfied that the transfer complies with applicable laws and would not result in adverse legal or tax consequences for the Fund.

11


 

A Single-Advisor Fund May Be More Volatile Than a Multi-Advisor Fund
     The Fund is a single-advisor managed futures funds. 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 single-advisor managed futures funds, the Fund may have increased performance volatility and a higher risk of loss than investment vehicles employing multiple advisors.
The Performance Fee Could be an Incentive to Make Riskier Investments
     Campbell & Company employs speculative strategies for the Fund, and receives performance fees based on the trading profits earned by it for the Fund. Campbell & Company would not agree to manage the Fund’s accounts in the absence of such a performance fee arrangement. Accordingly, Campbell & Company may make investments that are riskier than might be made if the Fund’s assets were managed by a trading advisor that did not require performance-based compensation.
The Fund May Distribute Profits to Limited Partners at Inopportune Times
     Campbell & Company reserves the right to make distributions of profits of the Fund to the limited partners at any time in its sole discretion in order to control the growth of the assets under Campbell & Company’s management. Limited partners will have no choice in receiving these distributions as income, and may receive little notice that these distributions are being made. Distributions may be made at an inopportune time for the limited partners.
Potential Inability to Trade or Report Due to Systems Failure Could Adversely Affect the Fund
     Campbell & Company’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 Campbell & Company’s hardware or software, could disrupt trading or make trading impossible until such failure is remedied. Any such failure, and consequential inability to trade (even for a short time), could, in certain market conditions, cause the Fund to experience significant trading losses or to miss opportunities for profitable trading. Additionally, any such failures could cause a temporary delay in reports to investors.
Failure to Receive Timely and Accurate Market Data from Third Party Vendors Could Cause Disruptions or the Inability to Trade
     Campbell & Company’s strategies are dependent to a significant degree on the receipt of timely and accurate market data from third party vendors. Accordingly, the failure to receive such data in a timely manner or the receipt of inaccurate data, whether due to the acts or omissions of such third party vendors or otherwise, could disrupt trading to the detriment of the Fund or make trading impossible until such failure or inaccuracy is remedied. Any such failure or inaccuracy could, in certain market conditions, cause the Fund to experience significant trading losses, effect trades in a manner which it otherwise would not have done, or miss opportunities for profitable trading. For example, the receipt of inaccurate market data may cause the Fund to establish (or exit) a position which it otherwise would not have established (or exited), or fail to establish (or exit) a position which it otherwise would have established (or exited), and any subsequent correction of such inaccurate data may cause the Fund to reverse such action or inaction, all of which may ultimately be to the detriment of the Fund.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Introduction
          The offering of its Units of Limited Partnership Interest commenced on January 12, 1994. The initial offering terminated on April 15, 1994 and the Fund commenced operations on April 18, 1994. The continuing offering period commenced at the termination of the initial offering period and terminated on June 14, 2008.
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. option, swap and forward contracts which are traded in the inter-bank market).

Capital Resources
          Effective June 14, 2008, units in the Fund were no longer offered for sale. For existing investors in the Fund, business has been and will be conducted as usual. There will be no change in trading, operations or monthly statements, etc. and redemptions will continue to be offered on a monthly basis.
          The Fund 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.
          The Fund maintains 40-80% of its net asset value in cash, cash equivalents or other liquid positions in its cash management program over and above that needed to post as collateral for trading. These funds are available to meet redemptions each month. After redemptions are taken into account each month, the trade level of the Fund is adjusted and positions in the instruments the Fund trades are liquidated, if necessary, on a pro-rata basis to meet those increases or decreases in trade levels.
Liquidity
          Most United States commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in 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. 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 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 futures trading operations, the Fund’s assets are expected to be highly liquid.
     The entire offering proceeds, without deductions, were credited to the Fund’s bank, brokerage and/or cash management accounts. The Fund meets margin requirements for its trading activities by depositing cash or U.S. government securities with the futures brokers and the over-the-counter counterparties. This does not reduce the risk of loss from trading futures, forward and option 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 brokers, 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 brokers 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 options on forward 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 general partner deposits the majority of those assets of the Fund that are not required to be deposited as margin with the futures broker and over-the-counter counterparty in custodial accounts with Northern Trust Company. The assets deposited in the custodial accounts with Northern Trust Company are segregated. Such custodial accounts constitute approximately 40% to 80% of the Fund’s assets and is invested, directly by Wilmington Trust Investment Management LLC (“Wilmington”) and Horizon Cash Management LLC (“Horizon”). Wilmington and Horizon are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Wilmington and Horizon do not guarantee any interest or

15


 

profits will accrue on the Fund’s assets in the custodial account. Wilmington and Horizon will invest according to agreed upon investment guidelines that are modeled after those investments allowed by the futures broker as defined under The Commodity Exchange Act, Title 17, Part 1, § 1.25 Investment of customer funds. Investments can include, but are not limited to, (i) U.S. Government Securities, Government Agency Securities, Municipal Securities, banker acceptances and certificates of deposits; (ii) commercial paper; and (iii) corporate debt.
     The Fund occasionally receives margin calls (requests to post more collateral) from its futures brokers or over-the-counter counterparties, which are met by moving the required portion of the assets held in the custody accounts at Northern Trust to the margin accounts. In the past 3 years, the Strategic Allocation Fund has not needed to liquidate any position as a result of a margin call.
     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.
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 options 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 option 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 option 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, option and forward currency contracts. The fair 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 fair value of forward currency (non-exchange traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) of the last business day of the reporting period or based on the market value of its exchange-traded equivalent. The fair value of option (non-exchange traded) contracts is calculated by applying an industry-standard adaptation of the Black-Scholes options valuation model to foreign currency options, using as input, the spot prices, interest rates and option implied volatilities quoted as of 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period.

Results of Operations
          The returns for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 were (8.96)%, (1.53)%, and (14.65)%, respectively. The following is a discussion of the brokerage and performance fees accrued and paid. During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Fund accrued brokerage fees in the amount of $144,756,816, $215,712,348 and $348,527,101, respectively, and paid brokerage fees in the amounts of $149,311,800, $224,173,238; and $358,887,478, respectively. No performance fees were accrued or paid during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
2009
          Of the (8.96)% return for the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 1.66% was due to trading losses (before commissions) and approximately 0.14% due to interest income offset by approximately 7.44% due to brokerage fees, operating costs and offering costs borne by the Fund. An analysis of the 1.66% trading loss by sector is as follows:

          President Obama’s stimulus plan took center stage in January; however, weak economic data continued to negatively impact global stock markets into the start of the New Year. An early month rally fizzled quickly, causing notable declines in major global indices. The Fund gained in equity indices trading on net short positions across each region. Gains were recorded in fixed income trading as the world’s central banks continued to lower interest rates. Mounting fiscal deficits and huge issuance needs begin to weigh heavy on the long-end; however, credit markets generally improved in January with yield spreads continuing to contract. Foreign exchange trading finished slightly negative on the month. Risk aversion and capital preservation benefited the Fund’s net long U.S. Dollar position; however, the U.K. government’s unprecedented move to give the Bank of England power to increase their stake in Royal Bank of Scotland to 70% helped fuel a late month rally in the British Pound, eliminating gains from a previous decline. Commodity trading was generally flat on volatility across precious and base metals and a slowing of the negative energy trend.
          In February, the U.S. government’s ability to address the economic crisis was met with skepticism by Wall Street. Economic data remained persistently weak, especially on the employment and housing fronts. The U.S. was not alone in reporting negative news, as European and Asian economies also continued with the release of dismal economic data such as declining exports and falling dividends. The majority of February gains in the Fund resulted from equity indices trading, particularly from short positions in the U.S. and Asia. Additional gains were recorded in foreign exchange trading as investors continued to feed U.S. Dollar strength, particularly relative to the Japanese Yen. The U.S. Dollar continues to be the safe haven pick as the risk aversion theme continued, as evidenced by the U.S. treasury yields recording all-time lows.
          Stock markets rallied in March as the 2008 fourth quarter earnings announcements subsided and large U.S. banks announced they would be profitable for the first two months of 2009. The majority of the Fund’s

17


 

losses in March resulted from equity indices trading, as the equity rally adversely impacted net short positions globally. Commodities recorded losses as energy price swings have become correlated with equities and metals surged on news of China’s economic stimulus plan. Gains from fixed income markets were recorded from the Fund’s long global bond positions as prices moved significantly higher on announcements from the Swiss, British and American Central Banks on their intentions of adding liquidity by purchasing medium to long-term bonds in the market. Foreign exchange trading resulted in gains as investors sought currencies whose home central banks were not keen on engaging in quantitative easing.
          While equity index trading produced the most profitable sector results for the Fund for 2008, the Fund’s net exposure on the short side of global stock indices through April 2009 has hurt performance as markets continued to stage rallies that began in mid-March. U.S. economic indicators, including housing and manufacturing, showed signs of improvement and stabilization rather than further deterioration. In addition, the G-20 agreed to fund more than $1 trillion in emergency aid to help cushion the economic fallout of the current international financial crisis. While the general tone of the economic outlook was more upbeat, officials have still been cautious in their assessment. April saw a continuation of the March risk-seeking rally leading to several growth currencies registering solid gains against the dollar. Losses were realized in the foreign exchange sector due to the Fund’s general bias to be long the dollar against most major currencies. In fixed income, the equity market rally helped general investor sentiment, driving bond prices lower across the board which produced losses for the Fund in this sector. Commodity trading finished relatively flat with gains from the energy sector offsetting small losses in base and precious metals.
          In May, conflicting signals on global recovery weighed on the direction of the markets as increased risk appetite and signs of stabilization in the global economy emerged. Equity markets continued their rally, particularly in Asia, generating small gains in the stock index sector. Fixed income trading generated a marginal positive return as short-term rates in Europe climbed higher following the European Central Bank rate cut of 25 basis points. The gains in the stock index and fixed income sectors were offset by losses in the foreign exchange sector. The U.S. Dollar suffered a broad based decline in May on a combination of stronger risk appetite and growing fears over structural deficiencies in the U.S. Investors moved dormant dollar denominated assets overseas to capture growth and risk in commodity block currencies. Smaller losses were also recorded in the commodities sector as natural gas finished a volatile month higher.
          During June, a surprise payroll number to the upside for May prompted an aggressive sell-off in short-term U.S. rates and raised market expectations of a rate hike in 2009. The price reaction was swift and caused particular difficulty for systematic trading. Losses for the Fund in the fixed income sector were offset by marginal gains in the foreign exchange sector. The Fund’s currency positions were generally mixed, thus hedging some U.S. Dollar risk, as investors crowded the Dollar as a safe-haven trade, pushing it higher on the month. Marginal gains were also recorded in the commodities sector, primarily from long positions in the energy complex. As geo-political headlines were plentiful, energies traded in a highly correlated fashion to global equity markets. The stock index sector finished basically flat for the month as global equity markets reflected mixed results congruent with both positive and negative economic data relating to global recovery.
          Contrary to investor fears, global stock market returns in 2009 have fueled improved risk appetite as economic data and corporate earnings support the rally for yet another month in July. The Fund’s trading performance was relatively flat, with positive results from long stock and short U.S. Dollar positions being offset by losses incurred from short interest rate positions. For the first half of 2009, many “trend-following” strategies struggled to curb losses and eked out small gains in a market environment that is in a classic “consolidation” (trendless and choppy) period.
          While risk appetite was generally strong in August, investors’ risk behavior was a bit random as fixed income initially sold off on better than expected payrolls data, but spent the rest of the month rallying. Bernanke’s nomination for a second term and continued “lower rates for longer” comments from Fed officials helped support treasury prices against the Fund’s general positioning across the curve. Smaller losses were recorded in currency trading as investors appeared unwilling to chase growth currencies higher, at the

18


 

expense of the dollar, from already stretched levels. Gains were recorded in commodity markets as the Fund increased its exposure to this sector with the launch of more agile models providing more efficient holding period diversification. Trading in base and precious metals was a primary driver as the “risk on” trade prevailed on improving economic data. Equity indices trading yielded a marginal gain as positioning geographically and across model groups remains mixed.
          During the month of September, the Fund’s technical and fundamental strategies both recorded healthy gains in the foreign exchange sector from short positions in the U.S. Dollar vs. most major currencies. Commodity-linked currencies were particularly profitable for the Fund, as both the Australian and New Zealand Dollars rose in value close to 5%. Technical and fundamental signals were also effective in the equity index sector, where the Fund benefited from primarily long positions across global stock indices. With the exception of Japan, global equities moved higher by 2 — 3% during the month on healthy M&A activity, as well as favorable signs of a manufacturing rebound and consumer spending renewal. Results were mixed in fixed income trading as gains earned from short-term rates were largely offset by losses on the long end of the curve. Commodities trading resulted in marginal losses overall, primarily due to short positions in natural gas. The price of natural gas rallied over 20% during the month as a result of significant short covering in the market despite record storage levels.
          The risk pendulum continued to swing between “risk on” and “risk off” during the month of October, culminating in “risk off” at month-end and impacting all sectors of the portfolio. As global equity markets fell, commodities fell in tandem and the U.S. Dollar rallied along with fixed income in a thematic trade tied to central bank activity. While the Fund’s risk exposure to equity indices was relatively low, our net long position yielded the largest sector loss during the month. The perseverance of the “risk off” trade at month-end resulted in modest losses in foreign exchange, modest gains in commodities.
          November saw strong trends generate a return of 3.03%, with solid gains in interest rates, foreign exchange, and commodities. Weaker than expected new home sales to start the month, the Federal Open Market Committee’s retention of “extended period” language at mid-month, and a flight to quality at month-end fueled by fears over Dubai debt pushed bond prices higher throughout the month. Thus, trading in fixed income contributed to strong gains from both the short and long end of the curve; foreign exchange trading profited from a continued downward trend of the U.S. Dollar; and commodity trading benefitted from gains in precious metals.
          In December, the markets saw a rapid reversal in fixed income and the U.S. Dollar. Inflationary fears subsided as better than expected U.S. economic data fueled equity prices higher and bond prices lower. While market participants seemed to be trading at reduced risk levels, price trends were inconsistent leading into the holiday break, causing losses for many systematic managers, including Campbell. Sharp losses in fixed income trading and modest losses in foreign exchange outweighed solid gains in cash equities and equity indices trading, resulting in a net loss for the month.
2008
          Of the (1.53)% return for the year ended December 31, 2008, approximately 4.19% was due to trading gains (before commissions) and approximately 1.76% due to interest income offset by approximately 7.48% due to brokerage fees, operating costs and offering costs borne by the Fund. An analysis of the 4.19% trading gain by sector is as follows:
         
Sector   % Gain (Loss)  
Stock Indices
    8.58 %

          The first quarter of 2008 began where 2007 left off, with the credit crisis causing more write-downs, more credit downgrades, and a growing realization that sub-prime issues would have broader and longer-lasting impacts than initially suspected. In January, weak economic data caused the Federal Open Market Committee to cut short-term rates by a total of 1.25%, which included an unprecedented 0.75% emergency cut. The S&P 500 recorded one of its worst monthly performances in the history of the index. The Fund’s performance in January was a 0.46% loss, with gains in equity indices trading more than offset by losses in currencies and flat performance in fixed income and commodities.
          February saw the U.S. dollar weaken against most major currencies, as U.S. economic data disappointed, stagflation concerns grew and U.S. interest rate expectations declined dramatically. The Fund’s currency trading profited from these moves, generating a positive return for the month. The Fund also recorded gains in equity indices trading, as the S&P 500, Dow, and NASDAQ continued to slide. Overall, the Fund had a positive month, posting a 1.44% gain.
          March brought more Federal Reserve intervention, which resulted in a slight recovery by U.S. stocks from mid-month slides to finish flat for the month, but still significantly negative for the year. The US dollar continued to weaken. The Fund’s performance was close to flat for the month at (0.23)%, with gains in equity indices and currencies offset by losses in commodities and fixed income. The Fund closed the first quarter of 2008 with a year-to-date gain of 0.73%.
          In April, the U.S. Dollar rallied against key funding currencies, despite a generally weak global economy. The Fund realized gains in foreign exchange and commodities. However, those gains were overshadowed by losses in the fixed income and equity indices sectors, as prior trends in both sectors reversed course. For the month of April, the Fund suffered a loss of 2.69%.
          May was a strong month for the Fund. Positive commodity trading led the charge as crude oil breached new technical levels, touching $135 mid-month. Foreign exchange models also posted gains, as high-yielding currencies performed well. These gains, together with modest gains in the fixed income more than offset a loss in equity indices. The Fund achieved a positive return on the month of 1.95%.
          In June the Fund realized its best month of the year, posting a return of 5.26%. Equity indices trading produced strong gains as short positions benefitted from the negative news that roiled the markets around the globe. Signs of commodity-based inflation were constantly in the headlines. Consumer confidence fell to a 16-year low, as U.S., European, and Asian equities markets fell in tandem. Fixed income trading produced additional gains for the Fund, in response to fears of inflation and the ECB’s increasingly hawkish stance. Commodities also posted gains as crude oil hit new highs on the back of increased tensions in the Middle East and among OPEC members. In addition, the Fund had modest gains in foreign exchange sector. The Fund concluded the second quarter with a gain of 4.43% for the quarter, and a year-to-date gain of 5.19%.
          The month of July was characterized by reversals in many asset classes. The Dow and S&P hit technical bear market territory early in the month, while Japanese equities saw their longest back-to-back losing streak in 54 years. Equity markets seemed to find a bottom mid-month after the U.S. announced the Government-Sponsored Enterprises bailout plan. Commodity prices also reversed, with crude oil declining almost 12% on fears that a weakened economy would reduce global demand. The Fund earned profits in equity indices trading. Those gains were offset by losses in fixed income and commodities. All-in, the Fund finished the month with a loss of 1.30%.
          In August, sub-prime fallout continued to plague the global financial markets. The U.S. unemployment rate hit a four-year high. Commodity prices continued to decline, with natural gas leading the way with a decline of 12.75% and gold falling to its lowest level in eight months. The Fund experienced losses in foreign exchange and commodities sectors as currencies linked to commodities fell in tandem with metal and energy markets, while the U.S. Dollar Index posted unusually strong gains. Those losses edged out gains in fixed income, resulting in a loss for the month of 1.64%.

          September saw concern over the widening credit crises come to a boiling point. Equity markets in the U.S., Europe, and Asia declined sharply. Investors fled high-yielding currencies in response to the global decline in equity markets. The Fund posted a loss of 1.37%. Gains in equity indices were offset by losses in foreign exchange, fixed income, and commodities. Diversification of positions by sector and geography played an important role in dampening losses to the Fund, as did a decrease in risk levels across the portfolio. The Fund concluded the third quarter with a loss of 4.25% for the quarter, leaving the year-to-date gain at 0.72%.
          At the time, the month of October seemed like a month to remember, as equity markets around the world plummeted, fueling further anxiety about the length and depth of a global recession and further exacerbating the liquidity, growth, and confidence crisis. With the benefit of hindsight, it was but the beginning of a quarter to remember. For the Fund, the month was about the benefits and disadvantages of diversification. Modest gains in equity indices trading were more than offset by losses in foreign exchange and fixed income, resulting in a loss for the month of 1.22%.
          November brought further global economic panic, as governments around the world continued to announce plans to help bolster sagging economies. The U.S. reversed course on its bailout effort, from buying troubled assets to facilitating lending flow. Economic data reflected another sharp drop in manufacturing, rising unemployment, and the largest drop in retail sales since 1992, prompting wild swings in both equity and bond markets. The Fund maintained a relatively low risk profile during the month, which resulted in marginal losses and gains across the sectors. For the Fund, losses in fixed income offset marginal gains in other sectors, resulting in a loss for the month of 1.46%.
          December saw more of the same on the global economic front. The Fund, however, took advantage of dramatic moves in the British Pound, particularly against the Euro, to achieve gains in foreign exchange. Likewise, fixed income trading was profitable as central banks across the globe continued to lower interest rates on persistent negative data. Overall, the Fund gained 0.44% for December.
          The Fund completed the fourth quarter of 2008, one of the most volatile in market history, with a loss for the quarter of 2.23%, bringing the return for the year to (1.53)%.
2007
          Of the (14.65)% return for the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 11.89% was due to trading losses (before commissions) and approximately 7.46% due to brokerage fees, operating costs and offering costs borne by the Fund offset by approximately 4.70% due to interest income. An analysis of the 11.89% trading loss by sector is as follows:
         
Sector   % Gain (Loss)  
Interest Rates
    0.80 %
 
       
Metals
    (0.67 )

The first quarter demonstrated how market perceptions on the global macroeconomic environment can drastically change during a quarter. Fixed income was initially a driver in performance as a result of the acceleration of global economic momentum, but ultimately resulted in overall losses for the quarter. The global growth environment turned into a flight to quality from risky assets, sponsored by former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan’s comments about a recession by year end and the whipsaw activity experience in fixed income. Currency trading followed a similar path of fixed income (initial gains and overall quarterly losses); initial gains from currency crosses were generated from unexpected rate hikes by the Bank of England in the beginning of the quarter but were wiped out by the liquidations of Yen-based carry trades in February, followed by whipsaw activity at the end of quarter. The Fund’s equity indices initially bucked the trend of fixed income and currency with gains coming from our fundamental models and strong M&A activity, but ultimately succumbed to an overall quarterly loss. Energy losses were driven by price declines in January on inventory build-ups due to warmer than average temperatures, but finished the last two months of the quarter basically flat. Global economic worries that were sparked at the end of February continued through the early part of March. All major market sectors experienced increased volatility accompanied by sharply higher short-term correlation. Whipsaw activity in currencies, interest rates and equities indices led to negative performance in all of these sectors, acting as the primary drivers of March losses. Risk levels for the Fund were reduced early in March in response to market conditions, and were restored to normal levels as conditions warranted.
The second quarter charged forward with M&A activity supported by impressive earnings, unfettered access to liquidity and major U.S. indices reaching all time highs, to only end with inflation concerns and a flight to quality related to the sub-prime world. Currencies provided gains early and late in the quarter related to negative U.S. dollar sentiment, but experienced losses mid-quarter mainly in outright exposures. Fixed income gains early in the month of April were given back during the last days of the month, but global fixed income prices breaking out of their trading ranges in May allowed the Fund to gain on both the long and short end of the yield curve. Early in the quarter commodity trading was positive as copper prices rallied on China’s release of high import figures, then finished slightly negative mid-quarter with energy trading gains mitigating some losses in metals. Commodities ended the quarter with small losses related to being short crude as it rallied above $70 per barrel on geo-political risks and inventory changes keeping traders bullish.
The third quarter began with a sudden flight to quality, reversal of high yielding currencies, and a highly correlated, unusually large move against the Fund’s positions resulting in one of the Fund’s largest monthly declines in recent years. Losses were broadly based and evenly spread between the interest rate, foreign exchange and equity index sectors. In response to this “perfect storm,” the Fund’s leverage was temporarily cut by 50%. Continuing the unusual market conditions theme into the first half of August, the contagion effect throughout the financial system created a confidence and liquidity crisis that also negatively impacted the Fund’s performance. Major stock, bond and currency markets globally experienced double digit losses from mid-July to mid-August. The foreign exchange sector proved very difficult in August as the Fund’s technical and macro models were both exposed to high-yielding currencies that suffered market value declines of historical proportions in mid-August. The Fund’s leverage was cut again in mid-August. Trading in the equity indices sector was also difficult as volatility dominated global stock markets, with the S&P dropping over 8% from its intra-month high only to bounce off of its lows once the Fund’s exposure was reduced. The Fund earned the majority of its gains at the end of the quarter in the foreign exchange markets as higher-yielding currencies once again gained favor. Trading in the stock indices sector also posted positive results, as the markets breathed a collective sigh of relief that the Federal Reserve was seriously addressing the credit crisis and resulting economic impact. The Fund’s portfolio maintained a lower risk posture throughout the month of September with full re-engagement resuming in the early part of the fourth quarter.
The fourth quarter started with mixed messages as corporate earnings’ reports either beat estimates or severely disappointed, money centers and investment banks grappling with major credit related losses, housing data continuing to soften, and the Federal Open Market Committee complying with market expectations of a 25 basis point cut. High yielding currencies provided healthy gains early in the quarter battling back from August lows, however, during the remainder of the quarter the Fund incurred its largest sector losses in currencies enduring the yen reaching levels not seen since June of 2005. Trading in global indices proved a similar fate to the currency

sector, initially beginning the quarter with gains followed up by two consecutive months of incurring losses related to U.S. recessionary fears spawning fears of a global slowdown in growth. Fixed income began the quarter flat as credit quality remained an underlying concern, then moving to positive returns mid-quarter thanks to Treasuries posting the best month in 12 years, to finishing negative at year-end related to extreme volatility. Energy and base metals began the quarter with a minimal loss and flat performance, respectively, as the markets continued to wrestle with a tight supply/demand picture, deteriorating geo-political landscape, a weakening dollar and strong growth from India & China. This market landscape then switched to fears of slowing global growth and fundamental arguments for lower energy prices in which Campbell recorded losses in both sectors. The quarter ended with gains realized in base and precious metals as gold rallied 6% to all time highs amid strong buying in the face of a bounce in the U.S. dollar.

Item 7A. 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 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.
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 is estimated in terms of Value at Risk (VaR). The Fund estimates VaR using a model based upon historical simulation (with a confidence level of 97.5%) which involves constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio. The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to risks, including equity and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and correlation among these variables. The hypothetical changes in portfolio value are based on daily percentage changes observed in key market indices or other market factors to which the portfolio is sensitive. The Fund’s VaR at a one day 97.5% confidence level of the Fund’s VaR corresponds to the negative change in portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors, would have been exceeded once in 40 trading days or one day in 40. VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome.

24


 

          The Fund uses approximately one quarter of daily market data and revalues its portfolio for each of the historical market moves that occurred over this time period. This generates a probability distribution of daily “simulated profit and loss” outcomes. The VaR is the 2.5 percentile of this distribution.
          The VaR for a sector represents the one day downside risk for the aggregate exposures associated with this sector. The current methodology used to calculate the aggregate VaR represents the VaR of the Fund’s open positions across all market sectors, and is less than the sum of the VaRs for all such market sectors due to the diversification benefit across asset classes.
          The Fund’s VaR computations are based on the risk representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or contract and does not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange dealer-based instruments. It is also not based on exchange and/or dealer-based maintenance margin requirements.
          VaR models, including the Fund’s, are continually evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by the Fund in its daily risk management activities. Please further note that VaR as described above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.
          Because the business of the Fund is the speculative trading of futures, forwards and options, the composition of the Fund’s trading portfolio can change significantly over any given time period, or even within a single trading day, which could positively or negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.

          The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Fund’s open positions by market category as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and the trading gains/losses by market category for the years then ended.

Material Limitations of Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
     The following limitations of VaR as an assessment of market risk should be noted:
1)   Past changes in market risk factors will not always result in accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of future market movements;
2)   Changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may differ from those of the VaR model;

3)   VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk depends on future positions;
4)   VaR using a one day time horizon does not fully capture the market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged within one day; and
5)   The historical market risk factor data for VaR estimation may provide only limited insight into losses that could be incurred under certain unusual market movements.
     VaR is not necessarily representative of historic risk nor should it be used to predict the Fund’s future financial performance or its ability to manage and monitor risk. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s actual losses on a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated or that such losses will not occur more than once in 40 trading days.
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 held at the broker and over-the-counter counterparty. The market risk represented by these investments is minimal. Finally, the Fund has non-trading market risk on fixed income securities held as part of its cash management program. The cash managers will use their best endeavors in the management of the assets of the Fund but provide no guarantee that any profit or interest will accrue to the Fund as a result of such management.
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 December 31, 2009, by market sector.
Currencies
          Exchange rate risk can be a significant market exposure of the Fund. The Fund’s currency exposure is to foreign 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 can be 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

27


 

interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries. Campbell & Company anticipates that G-7 interest rates will remain the primary rate exposure of the Fund for the foreseeable future. Changes in the interest rate environment will have the most impact on longer dated fixed income positions, at points of time throughout the year the majority of the speculative positions held by the Fund may be held in medium to long-term fixed income positions.
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, Taiwan and Netherlands). The stock index futures traded by the Fund are by law limited to futures on broadly based 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. Markets that trade in a narrow range could result in the Fund’s positions being “whipsawed” into numerous small losses.
Energy
          The Fund’s primary energy market exposure is to natural gas, crude oil and derivative product price movements, often resulting from international political developments and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and the perceived outcome. 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 gold, silver, copper, nickel and zinc.
Agricultural
     The Fund’s agricultural exposure is to the fluctuations of the price of wheat, corn, coffee and cotton.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
          The following were the non-trading risk exposures of the Fund as of December 31, 2009.
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).
Fixed Income Securities
          The Fund’s primary market exposure in instruments (other than treasury positions described in the subsequent section) held other than for trading is in its fixed income portfolio. The cash managers, Wilmington and Horizon, have authority to make certain investments on behalf of the Fund All securities purchased by the cash managers on behalf of the Fund will be held in the Fund’s custody accounts at the custodian. The cash managers will use their best endeavors in the management of the assets of the Fund but provide no guarantee that any profit or interest will accrue to the Fund as a result of such management.

28


 

Treasury Bill Positions for Margin Purposes
          The Fund also has market exposure in its Treasury Bill portfolio. The Fund holds Treasury Bills (interest bearing and credit risk-free) with maturities no longer than six months. Violent fluctuations in prevailing interest rates could cause minimal 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 the Fund and Campbell & Company, severally, attempt 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 precalculating “stop-loss” points at which systems will signal to close open positions.
          Campbell & Company manages the risk of the Fund’s non-trading instruments of Treasury Bills held for margin purposes by limiting the duration of such instruments to no more than six months. Campbell & Company manages the risk of the Fund’s fixed income securities held for cash management purposes by restricting the cash managers to investing in securities that are modeled after those investments allowed by the futures broker as defined under The Commodity Exchange Act, Title 17, Part 1, § 1.25 Investment of customer funds. Investments can include, but are not limited to, (i) U.S. Government Securities, Government Agency Securities, Municipal Securities, banker acceptances and certificates of deposits; (ii) commercial paper; and (iii) corporate debt.
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.

29


 

with respect to the Fund as of the end of the period covered by this annual 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.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Campbell & Company, Inc. (“CCI”), the general partner of the Fund is responsible for the management of the partnership. Management of CCI (“Management”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
    Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
 
    Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the partnership’s transactions are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Management and;
 
    Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, Management used the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As a result of this assessment and based on the criteria in the COSO framework, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s reporting this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
Campbell Strategic Allocation Fund, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Campbell Strategic Allocation Fund, L.P. (the “Partnership”), including the condensed schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, cash flows, changes in partners’ capital (net asset value) and financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Campbell Strategic Allocation Fund, L.P. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the results of its operations, cash flows, changes in its partners’ capital (net asset value) and financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Campbell Strategic Allocation Fund, L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
December

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 currency contracts and options on forward currency contracts.
 
    Effective June 14, 2008, units in the Fund were no longer offered for sale. For existing investors in the Fund, business is conducted as usual. There was no change in trading, operations or monthly statements, etc. and redemptions will continue to be offered on a monthly basis.
 
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 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 may require the use of certain estimates made by the Fund’s management. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 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 (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 210-20, Offsetting — Balance Sheet, (formerly FAS 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 on the last business day of the reporting period. The market value of forward currency (non-exchange traded) contracts was extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period or based on the market value of its exchange-traded equivalent.
 
    The market value of option (non-exchange traded) contracts is calculated by applying an industry-standard adaptation of the Black-Scholes options valuation model to foreign currency options, using as input, the spot prices, interest rates and option implied volatilities quoted as of 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement of operations.
 
    When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of option written. Brokerage commissions include other trading fees and are charged to expense when contracts are opened.
 
    The fixed income investments, other than U.S. Treasury bills held at the brokers or interbank market makers, are marked-to-market on the last business day of the reporting period by a custodian who utilizes a third party vendor hierarchy of pricing providers who specialize in such markets. The prices furnished by the providers consider the yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. U.S. Treasury bills not held by the custodian are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements
December
31, 2009
    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.
 
    The Fund adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly FASB No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”), as of January 1, 2008. ASC 820 provides guidance for determining fair value and requires increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
    ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
 
    Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The value of the Fund’s exchange-traded futures contracts fall into this category.
 
    Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This category includes forward currency contracts and options on forward currency contracts that the Fund values using models or other valuation methodologies derived from observable market data. This category also includes fixed income investments.
 
    Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability (including the Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments). Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.
 
    The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Fund’s investments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

D.   Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
    Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and overnight money market investments at financial institutions.
 
E.   Income Taxes
 
    The Fund prepares calendar year U.S. federal 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. No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements as each partner is individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on such partner’s respective share of the Fund’s income and expenses as reported for income tax purposes.
 
    Management has continued to evaluate the application of ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly FASB No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”) to the Fund, and has determined that no reserves for uncertain tax positions were required. There are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. The Fund files federal and state tax returns. The 2006 through 2009 tax years generally remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.
 
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). In addition, Campbell & Company continues to compensate wholesalers for services rendered to Limited Partners. 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. The Fund is only liable for payment of offering costs on a monthly basis as calculated based on the limitations stated above. At December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the Fund reflects a liability in the statement of financial condition for offering costs payable to Campbell & Company of $346,751 and $309,964, respectively. 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 December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the amount of unreimbursed offering costs incurred by Campbell & Company is $529,166 and $926,519, respectively.

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.
 
H.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
    In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”) for improving disclosure about fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 adds new disclosure requirements about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). It also clarifies existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disaggregation for fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this guidance on the Fund’s financial statements and disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

    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 & 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 $4 per round turn to the broker for execution and clearing costs. 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.
 
    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. More specifically, the performance fee is paid on the cumulative increase, if any, in the Net Asset Value per Unit over the highest previous cumulative Net Asset Value per Unit (commonly referred to as a High Water Mark) adjusting for investment income. In determining the brokerage and performance fees (“the fees”), adjustments shall be made for capital additions and withdrawals and Net Assets shall not be reduced by the fees being calculated for such current period. The performance fee is not subject to any clawback provisions. The fees are typically paid in the month following the month in which they are earned. The fees are paid from the available cash at the Fund’s bank, broker or cash management accounts.

Note 3.   CASH MANAGER AND CUSTODIAN
    In July 2009 the Fund appointed Wilmington Trust Investment Management LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wilmington Trust Corporation, and Horizon Cash Management LLC as cash managers under the Non-Custody Investment Advisory Agreements to manage and control the liquid assets of the Fund. Each cash manager is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
 
    The Fund opened custodial accounts at The Northern Trust Company (the custodian) and has granted the cash managers authority to make certain investments on behalf of the Fund provided such investments are consistent with the investment guidelines created by the general partner. All securities purchased by the cash managers on behalf of the Fund will be held in the Fund’s custody accounts at the custodian. The cash managers will have no beneficial or other interest in the securities and cash in such custody accounts. The cash managers began trading on behalf of the Fund in August 2009.
Note 4.   DEPOSITS WITH BROKERS
    The Fund deposits assets with brokers 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 brokers. The Fund typically earns interest income on its assets deposited with the brokers.
Note 5.   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 years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
Note 6.   SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
    Investments in the Fund were made by subscription agreement, subject to acceptance by Campbell & Company.
 
    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. 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 advance written notice to Campbell & Company.
 
    Redemption fees, which are paid to Campbell & Company, 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. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, Campbell & Company received redemption fees of $11,966 and $192,892 respectively.
Note 7.   TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS
    The Fund engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts, forward currency contracts and options on forward currency contracts (collectively, “derivatives”). Specifically, the Fund trades a portfolio primarily focused on financial futures, which are instruments designed to hedge or speculate on changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates or stock index values. A secondary emphasis is on metals, energy and agriculture values. 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. The market sensitive instruments held by the Fund 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.
    Purchase and sale of futures contracts requires margin deposits with the brokers. 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 market makers usually range from 10% to 30% of Net Asset Value. The market value of securities held to satisfy such requirements at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $266,982,272 and $1,136,934,669, respectively, which equals 16% and 46% of Net Asset Value, respectively. The cash deposited with interbank market makers at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $41,140,268 and $73,104,593, respectively, which equals 2% and 3% of Net Asset Value, respectively. These amounts are included in cash. Included in cash deposits with the broker and interbank market maker at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was restricted cash for margin requirements of $0 and $83,927,379 respectively, which equals 0% and 3% of Net Asset Value respectively.
 
    The Fund trades forward currency and options on forward currency contracts in unregulated markets between principals and assumes the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. Accordingly, the risks associated with forward currency and options on foreign currency contracts are generally greater than those associated with exchange traded contracts because of the greater risk of counterparty default. Additionally, the trading of forward currency and options on forward currency 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. 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. Theoretically, the Fund is exposed to a market risk equal to the notional contract value of futures and forward currency contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short. As both a buyer and seller of options, the Fund pays or receives a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option. Written options expose the Fund to potentially unlimited liability, and purchased options expose the Fund to a risk of loss limited to the premiums paid. See Note 1. C. for an explanation of how the Fund determines its valuation for derivatives as well as the netting of derivatives.

    Open contracts generally mature within three months; as of December 31, 2009, the latest maturity date for open futures contracts is March 2011, the latest maturity date for open forward currency contracts is March 2010, and the latest expiry date for options on forward currency contracts is January 2010. However, the Fund intends to close all futures and foreign currency 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’s attempt 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 precalculating “stop-loss” points at which systems will signal to close open positions. Campbell & Company controls the risk of the Fund’s non-trading fixed income instruments by limiting the duration of such instruments and requiring a minimum credit quality of the issuers of those instruments.
 
    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 credit worthy. The limited partners bears 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.

Note 8.   INDEMNIFICATIONS
    In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The Fund expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.
Note 9.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
    Management of the Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than the following, there are no subsequent events to disclose or record. On December 18, 2009, a registration statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reopen the Fund to existing investors. As of March 26, 2010, the registration is not yet effective.
