EXPLANATORY NOTE
In response to comments raised by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this
Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) (Form 10-K/A) is being filed by Superfund Gold, L.P. (the Fund)
to amend the Funds disclosure in Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, and Item 15, Financial
Statement Schedules, in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 that was originally
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2010 (the Original Form 10-K).
Except as required to reflect the item described above, no attempt has been made in this Form
10-K/A to modify or update disclosures in the Original Form 10-K. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect
events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K or modify or update any related
disclosures. Information not affected by the amendment is unchanged and reflects the disclosure
made at the time of the filing of the Original Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 31, 2010. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the
Original Form 10-K and the Funds filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission
subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K.

Item 9A. Controls And Procedures.
Controls and Procedures
Superfund Capital Management, the Funds general partner, with the participation of Superfund
Capital Managements principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to
each Series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole, as of the end of the period covered by
this annual report, and, based on their evaluation, have concluded that these disclosure controls
and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in Superfund Capital Managements
internal controls with respect to each Series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole, or in
other factors applicable to each Series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole, that could
materially affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires Superfund Capital Management
to evaluate annually the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting as of the
end of each fiscal year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of its
internal control over financial reporting in all annual reports. There were no changes in Superfund
Capital Managements internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December
31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Superfund
Capital Managements internal control over financial reporting.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Superfund Capital Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over the financial reporting of each Series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a companys
principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a companys board of
directors, management and other personnel 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. Superfund Capital Managements 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 each Series individually, as well as the
Fund as a whole;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of each Series, as well as the Funds, financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that the receipts and expenditures of each Series
individually, as well as the Fund as a whole, are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of Superfund Capital Managements management and directors; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the assets of each Series individually, as well as the Fund as a
whole, that could have a material effect on the Series or the Funds financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. 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.
The management of Superfund Capital Management assessed the effectiveness of its internal
control over financial reporting with respect to each Series individually, as well as the Fund as a
whole, as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control
Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December
31, 2009, Superfund Capital Managements internal control over financial reporting with respect to
each Series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole, is effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Funds registered public
accounting regarding control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to
attestation by the Funds registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Fund to provide only managements report in this
annual report.
The Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) certifications of the principal executive officer and the
principal financial officer included as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively, are certifying as to
each Series individually, as well as the Fund as a whole.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of Superfund Gold, L.P. Series A and Series B:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Superfund Gold, L.P.,
comprising Series A and Series B, (collectively, the Fund), including the condensed schedules of
investments, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in
net assets, and cash flows for the period from April 1, 2009 (commencement of operations) through
December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. The
Fund 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 Funds 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 referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the period from April 1, 2009 (commencement of operations)
through December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009
(1) | Nature of Operations | |
Organization and Business | ||
Superfund Gold, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership (the Fund), commenced operations on April 1, 2009. The Fund was organized to trade speculatively in the United States and international commodity futures and forward markets using a strategy developed by Superfund Capital Management, Inc., the general partner and trading advisor of the Fund (Superfund Capital Management). The Fund has issued two series of units of limited partnership interest (Units), each with a subseries, Series A-1/A-2 and Series B-1/B-2 (each a Series). Series A-1/A-2 and Series B-1/B-2 are traded and managed the same way, with the exception of the degree of leverage. | ||
The term of the Fund commenced on the day on which the Certificate of Limited Partnership was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and shall end upon the first to occur of the following: (i) receipt by Superfund Capital Management of an approval to dissolve the Fund at a specified time by limited partners (each, a Limited Partner) owning Units representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Units of each Series then owned by Limited Partners of each Series, notice of which is sent by certified mail return receipt requested to Superfund Capital Management not less than 90 days prior to the effective date of such dissolution; (ii) withdrawal, insolvency or dissolution of Superfund Capital Management or any other event that causes Superfund Capital Management to cease to be the general partner of the Fund, unless (a) at the time of each event there is at least one remaining general partner of the Fund who carries on the business of the Fund (and each remaining general partner of the Fund is hereby authorized to carry on the business of general partner of the Fund in such an event), or (b) within 120 days after such event Limited Partners of a Series holding a majority of Units of such Series agree in writing to continue the business of the Fund and such Series and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, of one or more general partners of the Fund and such Series; (iii) a decline in the aggregate net assets of each Series to less than $500,000 at any time following commencement of trading in the Series; or (iv) any other event which shall make it unlawful for the existence of the Fund to be continued or which requires termination of the Fund. | ||
(2) | Significant Accounting Policies |
(a) | Basis of Presentation | ||
Pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), audited financial statements are presented for the Fund as a whole, as the SEC regulates, and for Series A and Series B individually. The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have been amended from the financial statements originally issued on March 31, 2010 to include financial statements and footnote totals for the Fund as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable only against the assets of such Series and not against the assets of the Fund generally or any other Series. Accordingly, the assets of one Series of the Fund include only those funds and other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Fund on account of and for the benefit of that Series, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the Fund for the purchase of Units in that Series. | |||
(b) | Valuation of Investments in Futures Contracts, Forward Contracts, and U.S Treasury Bills | ||
All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are used for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on a trade date basis and open contracts are recorded in the statements of assets and liabilities at fair value based upon market quotes on the last business day of the period. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at settlement prices published by the recognized exchange. Any spot and forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund will be valued at published settlement prices or at dealers quotes. The Fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing the U.S. Treasury Bills due to the short term nature of such investments; accordingly, the cost of securities plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, approximates fair value. | |||
(c) | Translation of Foreign Currency | ||
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the period end exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investments, and income and expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the transaction date. Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the statements of operations. | |||
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the statements of operations. | |||
(d) | Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Expenses | ||
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Interest income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. |
21
(e) | Income Taxes | ||
The Fund does not record a provision for U.S. income taxes because the partners report their share of the Funds income or loss on their returns. The financial statements reflect the Funds transactions without adjustment, if any, required for income tax purposes. | |||
Superfund Capital Management has evaluated the application of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 to the Fund, to determine whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. Based on this evaluation, the Fund has determined no reserves for uncertain tax position are required to be recorded as a result of the application of ASC 740. As a result, no income tax liability or expense has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund files federal and various state tax returns. The 2009 tax year generally remains subject to examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. | |||
(f) | Use of Estimates | ||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires Superfund Capital Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||
(g) | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | ||
ASC 105.10.05 | |||
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB ASC 105.10.05, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASC 105.10.05). ASC 105.10.05 establishes FASB ASC as the single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Pursuant to the provisions of ASC 105.10.05, the Fund has adopted 105.10.05 and updated references to GAAP in its financial statements issued subsequent to September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105.10.05 did not have any impact on the Funds results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. | |||
ASU 2010-06 | |||
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which, among other things, amends ASC 820 to require entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e. to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward 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). Superfund Capital Management is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2010-06 on the Funds financial statements. | |||
(h) | Fair Value Measurements | ||
The Fund follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below: |
Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. | ||
Level 2 | Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. | ||
Level 3 | Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Fund separates its financial instruments into two categories: U.S. government securities and derivative contracts. | |||
U.S. Government Securities. The Funds only market exposure in instruments held other than for trading is in its U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio. As the Fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing its U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio, which approximates fair value, this portfolio is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | |||
Derivative Contracts. Derivative contracts can be exchange-traded or over-the-counter (OTC). Exchange-traded |
22
derivatives typically fall within level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy
depending on whether they are deemed to be actively traded or not. The Fund has exposure to
exchange-traded derivative contracts through the Funds trading of exchange-traded futures
contracts. The Funds exchange-traded futures contract positions are valued daily at
settlement prices published by the applicable exchanges. In such cases, provided they are
deemed to be actively traded, exchange-traded derivatives are classified within level 1 of
the fair value hierarchy. Less actively traded exchange-traded derivatives fall within
level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence whenever
possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market-clearing
transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable
levels of price transparency. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to
value an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent
in, the instrument as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. For OTC
derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards and swaps, model inputs
can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management
judgment. The OTC derivatives held by the Fund may include forwards and swaps. Spot and
forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund are valued at published daily settlement
prices or at dealers quotes. The Funds forward positions are typically classified within
level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Certain OTC derivatives traded in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, and
the determination of fair value for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. Such
instruments are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Where the Fund does
not have corroborating market evidence to support significant model inputs and cannot verify
the model to market transactions, transaction price is initially used as the best estimate
of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the
model is adjusted so that the model value at inception equals the transaction price. The
valuations of these less liquid OTC derivatives are typically based on level 1 and/or level
2 inputs that can be observed in the market, as well as unobservable level 3 inputs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the Fund updates the level 1 and level 2 inputs to
reflect observable market changes, with resulting gains and losses reflected within level 3.
Level 3 inputs are only changed when corroborated by evidence such as similar market
transactions, third-party pricing services and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other
empirical market data. In circumstances where the Fund cannot verify the model value to
market transactions, it is possible that a different valuation model could produce a
materially different estimate of fair value. The Fund attempts to avoid holding less
liquid OTC derivatives. However, once held, the market for any particular derivative
contract could become less liquid during the holding period.
As of and during the period from April 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009, the Fund held no
derivative contracts valued using level 3 inputs.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Funds assets and liabilities by the ASC
820 fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2009:

(3) Disclosure of derivative instruments and hedging activities
The Fund follows ASC 815, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (ASC 815). ASC 815 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are
accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entitys results of operations and financial position.
Derivative instruments held by the Fund do not qualify as derivative instruments held as hedging instruments, as defined in ASC 815. Instead, the Fund includes derivative instruments in its trading activity. Per the requirements of ASC 815, the Fund discloses the gains and losses on its trading activities for
both derivative and nonderivative instruments in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund engages in the speculative trading of forward contracts in currency and futures contracts in a wide range of commodities, including equity markets, interest rates, food and fiber, energy, livestock and metals. ASC 815 requires entities to recognize all derivatives instruments as either assets or
liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. Investments in forward contracts and commodity futures contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on open forward contracts and futures contracts purchased and futures contracts
sold. Since the derivatives held or sold by the Fund are for speculative trading purposes, the derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under the provisions of ASC 815. Accordingly, all realized gains and losses, as well as any change in net unrealized gains or losses on open positions
from the preceding period, are recognized as part of the Funds trading profits and losses in the Statements of Operations.
Superfund Capital Management believes futures and forward trading activity expressed as a percentage of net assets is indicative of trading activity. Information concerning the fair value of the Funds derivatives held long or sold short, as well as information related to the annual average volume of the Funds
derivative activity, is as follows:

In the normal course of business, all of the Funds marketable securities transactions, money balances and marketable security positions are transacted with brokers. The Fund is subject to credit risk to the extent any broker with whom it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf. Superfund Capital Management monitors the financial condition of such brokers and does not anticipate any losses from these counterparties. | ||
(5) | Allocation of Net Profits and Losses | |
In accordance with the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the Limited Partnership Agreement), net profits and losses of the Fund are allocated to partners according to their respective interests in the Fund as of the beginning of each month. | ||

In accordance with the Prospectus dated November 3, 2009, included within the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-151632), Superfund USA, Inc., an entity related to Superfund Capital Management by common ownership, shall be paid selling commissions equal to 2% of the month-end net asset value per Series A-1 Unit and Series B-1 Unit (one-twelfth of 2% per month).

(8) | Financial Instrument Risk | |
In the normal course of its business, the Fund is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. 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 a future obligation or loss. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, and options, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash flows, to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specific future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or OTC. Exchange-traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include forwards and certain options. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract. | ||
For Superfund Gold, L.P., gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange traded futures were $728,274 and $1,555,060, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange traded forwards were $81,845 and $154,871, respectively, at December 31, 2009. | ||
For Series A, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange traded futures were $48,604 and $329,911, respectively, at December 31, 2009. There were no gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange traded forwards for Series A at December 31, 2009. | ||
For Series B, gross unrealized gains and losses related to exchange traded futures were $679,670 and $1,225,149, respectively, and gross unrealized gains and losses related to non-exchange traded forwards were $81,845 and $154,871, respectively, at December 31, 2009. | ||
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the Fund due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and fluctuations in commodity prices. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interest positions at the same time, and Superfund Capital Management is unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses. | ||
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The Funds risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statements of assets and liabilities and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. As the Funds assets are held in segregated accounts with futures commission merchants, the Fund has credit risk and concentration risk. The Funds futures commission merchants are currently ADM Investor Services, Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., and Rosenthal Collins Group, L.L.C. | ||
Superfund Capital Management monitors and controls the Funds risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Fund is subject. These monitoring systems allow Superfund Capital Management to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures and forward positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions, and collateral positions. | ||
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of December 31, 2009. However, due to the nature of the Funds business, these instruments may not be held to maturity. | ||
(9) | Subscriptions and Redemptions | |
Investors must submit subscriptions at least five business days prior to the applicable month-end closing date and they will be accepted once payments are received and cleared. All subscriptions funds are required to be promptly transmitted to the escrow agent, HSBC Bank USA. Subscriptions must be accepted or rejected by Superfund Capital Management within five business days of receipt, and the settlement date for the deposit of subscription funds in escrow must be within five business days of acceptance. No fees or costs will be assessed on any subscription while held in escrow, irrespective of whether the subscription is accepted or the subscription funds are returned. | ||
A Limited Partner may request any or all of his investment in such Series be redeemed by such Series at the net asset value of a Unit within such Series as of the end of each month, subject to a minimum redemption of $1,000 and subject further to such Limited Partner having an investment in such Series, after giving effect to the requested redemption, at least equal to the minimum initial investment amount of $5,000. Limited Partners must transmit a written request of such withdrawal to Superfund Capital Management not less than five business days prior to the end of the month (or such shorter period as permitted by Superfund Capital Management) as of which redemption is to be effective. Redemptions will generally be paid within twenty days after the date of redemption. However, in special |
31
circumstances, including, but not limited to, inability to liquidate dealers positions as of a redemption date or default or delay in payments due to each Series from clearing brokers, banks or other persons or entities, each Series may in turn delay payment to persons requesting redemption of the proportionate part of the net assets of each Series represented by the sums that are the subject of such default or delay. In the event that the estimated net asset value per Unit of a Series, or sub-Series thereof, after adjustments for distributions, as of the close of business on any business day is less than 50% of the net asset value per Unit of such Series, or sub-Series thereof, as of the most recent month-end, a special redemption period shall be established. The details of the special redemption are set forth in Section 12 of the Limited Partnership Agreement. |
(10) | Subsequent events | |
Superfund Capital Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. |
