PART I
Item 1. Business
General development of business
The Campbell Global Trend Fund L.P. (the Registrant or the Fund) was formed as a
Delaware series limited partnership on December 1, 2009. The Registrant operates as a
commodity investment pool, whose purpose is to trade speculatively in the U.S. and
international futures and forward 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 agricultural 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 futures and forward 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 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 Global Trend Fund currently consists of two series (Series) the Global Trend
Series (USD) and the Global Trend Series (GLD). The general partner has formed the Global
Trend Fund as a series limited partnership pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions
of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (6 Del. C. § 17-101 et seq., as
amended from time to time, the Act). The Act provides for the limitation of liability of
each Series to the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses of such Series and not those
of any other Series or the Global Trend Fund in general. The Global Trend Series (USD) seeks
to provide investors with a U.S. Dollar-denominated exposure to the Campbell Trend Following
Portfolio. The Global Trend Series (USD) will trade pursuant to the Campbell Trend Following
Portfolio. The Trend Following Portfolio includes both traditional trend following and factor
based trend following models. The Campbell Trend Following Portfolio employs the same
traditional and factor-based trend following models that the FME Large Portfolio employs, but
does not employ the macroeconomic-based models employed by the FME Large Portfolio. The Global
Trend Series (GLD) trades the Trend Following (GLD) Portfolio, which seeks to provide
investors with a gold-denominated exposure to the Campbell Trend Following Portfolio.
The Global Trend Fund (USD) began trading on June 1, 2010. As of December 31, 2010 the
Global Trend Series (GLD) has not commenced trading and does not have any performance history. On
March 18, 2011, the Fund filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
to merge the Global Trend Series (GLD) into the Global Trend Series (USD). As of March 31, 2011,
the registration is not yet effective.

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2010, the aggregate capitalization of the Global Trend Fund (USD) was
$16,897,524 with Class A (USD) and Class C (USD) comprising $8,406,469 and $8,491,055,
respectively, of the total. The Net Asset Value per Unit was $1,118.77 for Class A (USD)
and $1,128.64 for Class C (USD). No units have been issued for Class B (USD), Class D (USD)
or Class E (USD).
Financial information about segments
The Funds business constitutes only one segment for financial reporting purposes, i.e.,
a speculative commodity pool. The Fund does not engage in sales of goods or services.
Narrative description of business
General
The purpose of the Fund is to engage in the speculative trading, buying, selling, or
otherwise acquiring, holding or disposing of commodities, including futures contracts, forward
contracts and any other rights pertaining thereto, and for such other purposes as may be
incidental or related thereto.
The Global Trend Fund currently consists of two series (Series) the Global Trend
Series (USD) and the Global Trend Series (GLD). The Global Trend Series (USD) seeks to provide
investors with a U.S. Dollar-denominated exposure to the Campbell Trend Following Portfolio.
The Global Trend Series (USD) will trade pursuant to the Campbell Trend Following Portfolio.
The Trend Following Portfolio seeks to exploit both the tendency for individual market
momentum to persist and the tendency for markets to influence each other by aggregating
(either negatively or positively) into independent factor groups. Campbell & Companys
Technical Model Series is based on traditional and alternative trend-following methods to
exploit future market moves. A focus of the model series is to equalize exposure to multiple
time horizons, trading strategies, asset classes, and signal information. Proper position
sizing and risk control is closely monitored. Additional models, markets and/or
over-the-counter contracts may also be included or eliminated from time to time in Campbell &
Companys sole discretion without notice to limited partners.
The Global Trend Series (GLD) trades the Trend Following (GLD) Portfolio, which
seeks to provide investors with a gold-denominated exposure to the Campbell Trend Following
Portfolio. The gold denominated exposure is achieved by first converting the investors U.S.
Dollar investment to an exposure to gold by purchasing long positions in gold futures with a
value approximately equal to the net asset value of that Series. The Global Trend Series (GLD)
then seeks appreciation through a 100% overlay of the Campbell Trend Following Portfolio. The
trading advisor will adjust the Global Trend Series (GLD)s respective allocations to gold and
the Trend Following Portfolio at the beginning of each month to reflect additions to and
redemptions of Series capital, as well as to reflect profits and losses from the Series long
gold futures and its futures and currencies trading activities and interest income as of the
end of the preceding month so as to maintain a gold futures position with a value
approximately equal to the Series net asset value at the beginning of each month.
As of December 31, 2010, the percentage of component risk for each major sector was as
follows: 36% to commodities, 24% to stock indices, 23% to currencies, and 17% to interest
rates.
Use of Proceeds and Cash Management Income
2
Table of Contents
Subscription Proceeds and Available Assets.
The entire offering proceeds, without deductions, will be credited to the Funds bank and
brokerage accounts to engage in trading activities and as reserves for that trading. The Fund
will meet margin requirements for its trading activities by depositing cash or U.S. government
securities with the futures broker and the over-the-counter counterparty. In this way,
substantially all (i.e., 95% or more) of the Funds assets, whether used as margin for trading
purposes or as reserves for such trading, can be invested in U.S. government securities and
time deposits with U.S. banks. Investors should note that maintenance of the Funds assets in
U.S. government securities does not
reduce the risk of loss from trading futures and forward contracts. The Fund will receive
all interest earned on its assets. No other person shall receive any interest or other
economic benefits from the deposit of the Funds assets.
Approximately 10% to 30% of the Funds assets will normally be committed as required
margin for futures contracts and held by the futures broker, although the amount committed may
vary significantly. Such assets will be 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 Funds assets will be deposited with
over-the-counter counterparty in order to initiate and maintain 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 will be held either in U.S. government securities or short-term time deposits with
U.S.-regulated bank affiliates of the over-the-counter counterparty. The remaining 40% to 80%
of the Funds assets will normally be invested in cash equivalents, such as U.S. Treasury
bills, and held by the futures broker or the over-the-counter counterparties.
The Funds assets 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.
Cash Manager and Custodian.
The Fund appointed Wilmington Trust Investment Management LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Wilmington Trust Corporation as cash manager (the Cash Manager) under the Non-Custody
Investment Advisory Agreement dated December 15, 2009. The Fund appointed Horizon Cash
Management LLC as cash manager (the Cash Manager) under the Investment Advisory Agreement
dated December 22, 2010 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 has terminated the Non-Custody Investment Advisory Agreement appointing
Wilmington Trust Investment Management LLC as cash manager, effective December 31, 2010.
The Fund opened a custodial account at The Northern Trust Company (the Custodian), and
has granted the Cash Manager a limited power of attorney over such accounts. Such power of
attorney gives the Cash Manager authority to make certain investments on behalf of the Fund
provided such investments are consistent with the investment guidelines created by the general
partner to the Fund. 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 Manager on behalf
of the Fund or other liquid funds of the Fund will be held in its custody account at the
custodian. The Cash Manager will have no beneficial or other interest in the securities and
cash in such custody account. As of December 31, 2010, no assets were deposited with the
custodian.
Market Sectors.
Campbell & Companys Trend Following Portfolio trades in a fully diversified portfolio of
futures and forwards markets, including energy products (Brent crude, gas oil, heating oil,
natural gas, unleaded gasoline and WTI Crude), agricultural products (coffee, corn, cotton and
wheat), precious and base metals (aluminum, copper, gold, and zinc), stock market indices
(DAX, DJ Euro Stoxx 50, FTSE, Hang Seng, IBEX, MSCI, NASDAQ, Nikkei and S&P 500), interest
rates (short-term and long-term) and foreign currencies (majors, minors and cross rates).

Market Types.
The Fund trades on a variety of United States and foreign futures exchanges.
Approximately
50% of the Funds trading takes place in the off-exchange highly liquid,
institutionally-based currency forward markets. The remaining 50% takes place on futures
exchanges.
As in the case of its market sector allocations, the Funds commitments to different
types of markets U.S. and non-U.S., regulated and non regulated differ substantially
from time to time, as well as over time, and may change at any time if Campbell & Company
determines such change to be in the best interests of the Fund. No one market exceeds 10% of
the total portfolio allocation.

Regulation
The U.S. futures markets are regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act, which is
administered by the Commodity Futures Trading Commissions (the CFTC), a federal agency
created in 1974. The CFTC licenses and regulates commodity exchanges, commodity pool
operators, commodity trading advisors and clearing firms which are referred to in the futures
industry as futures commission merchants. Campbell & Company is licensed by the CFTC as a
commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor. Futures professionals are also
regulated by the National Futures Association (the NFA), a self-regulatory organization for
the futures industry that supervises the dealings between futures professionals and their
customers. If its pertinent CFTC licenses or NFA memberships were to lapse, be suspended, or
be revoked, Campbell & Company would be unable to act as the Funds commodity pool operator
and commodity trading advisor.
The CFTC has adopted disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for commodity
pool operators and disclosure and recordkeeping requirements for commodity trading advisors.
The reporting rules require pool operators to furnish to the participants in their pools a
monthly statement of account, showing the pools income or loss and change in net asset value,
and an annual financial report, audited by an independent certified public accountant.
The CFTC and the exchanges have pervasive powers over the futures markets, including the
emergency power to suspend trading and order trading for liquidation of existing positions
only. The exercise of such powers could adversely affect the Funds trading.
The CFTC does not regulate forward contracts. Federal and state banking authorities also
do not regulate forward trading or forward dealers. Trading in foreign currency forward
contracts may be less liquid and the Funds trading results may be adversely affected.
The Fund has no employees. The Fund trades on a number of foreign commodity exchanges.
The Fund does not engage in the sales of goods or services.

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 SECs Public
Reference Facilities in Washington, D.C. at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.
Please call the SECs toll free number, 1-800-SEC-0330, for further information. The Fund
does not maintain a website where these reports are posted. However, the Funds filings are

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Market Risks
You Could Possibly Lose Your Total Investment in the Fund
Futures and forward contracts have a high degree of price variability and are subject to
occasional rapid and substantial changes. Consequently, you could lose all or 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 or forward contract position is typically about 2% to 10% of the total value of the
contract, Campbell & Company is able to hold positions in the Funds account with face values
equal to several times the Funds 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 finance its
portfolio. 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 its
portfolio at disadvantageous prices. In 2009, banks and dealers substantially curtailed
financing activities and increased collateral requirements, forcing many hedge funds to
liquidate.
Your Investment Could be Illiquid
Futures and forward 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 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. The financing available to the Fund from
banks, dealers and other counterparties is likely to be restricted in disrupted markets. For
example, in 1994, 1998 and again from 20072009 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. 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.
7
Table of Contents
Suspension of Redemptions
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.
Market Disruptions: Governmental Intervention; The Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (the Reform Act)
The global financial markets have in the past few years gone through pervasive and
fundamental disruptions that 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 previously
successful investment strategies.
The Fund may incur major losses in the event of disrupted markets and other extraordinary
events in which historical pricing relationships become materially distorted. 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. The financing available to the Fund from its banks, dealers and other
counterparties is typically reduced in disrupted markets. Such a reduction may result in
substantial losses to the Fund. Market disruptions 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.
In response to the recent financial crises, the Obama Administration and the U.S.
Congress proposed sweeping reform of the U.S. financial regulatory system. After over a year
of debate, the Reform Act became law in July 2010. The Reform Act seeks to regulate markets,
market participants and financial instruments that previously have been unregulated and
substantially alters the regulation of many other markets, market participants and financial
instruments. Because many provisions of the Reform Act require rulemaking by the applicable
regulators before becoming fully effective and the Reform Act mandate multiple agency reports
and studies (which could result in additional legislative or regulatory action), it is
difficult to predict the impact of the Reform Act on the Fund, Campbell & Company, and the
markets in which they trade and invest. The Reform Act could result in certain investment
strategies in which the Fund engages or may have otherwise engaged becoming non-viable or
non-economic to implement. The Reform Act and regulations adopted pursuant to the Reform Act
could have material adverse impact on the profit potential of the Fund.

Speculative Position Limits
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and certain exchanges have established
position limits on the maximum net long or short futures positions which any person or group
of persons acting in concert may hold or control in particular futures contracts. The CFTC has
adopted a rule generally requiring each domestic U.S. exchange to set speculative position
limits, subject to CFTC approval, for all futures contracts traded on such exchanges which are
not already subject to speculative position limits established by the CFTC or such exchange.
The CFTC has jurisdiction to
establish speculative position limits with respect to all futures contracts traded on
exchanges located in the United States, and any such exchange may impose additional limits on
positions on that exchange. Generally, no speculative position limits are in effect with
respect to the trading of forward contracts or trading on non-U.S. exchanges. All trading
accounts owned or managed by Campbell & Company acting on behalf of the Fund, its respective
principals and affiliates will be combined for speculative position limit purposes. Because
future position limits allow a commodity trading advisor and its principals to control only a
limited number of contracts in any one commodity, Campbell & Company and their principals are
potentially subject to a conflict among the interests of all accounts the Fund and its
principals control which are competing for shares of that limited number of contracts.
Although Campbell & Company may be able to achieve the same performance results with OTC
substitutes for futures contracts, the OTC market may be subject to differing prices, lesser
liquidity and greater counterparty risks than the regulated U.S. commodities exchanges.
Campbell & Company may in the future reduce the size of the positions which would otherwise be
taken or not trade in certain markets on behalf of the Fund in order to avoid exceeding such
limits. Modification of such trades that would otherwise be made by Campbell & Company, if
required, could adversely affect the Funds operations and profitability. Such modification,
if required, could require the Fund to liquidate certain positions more rapidly than might
otherwise be desirable, and could adversely affect the performance of the Fund. A violation of
speculative position limits by the Fund could lead to regulatory action materially adverse to
the Funds prospects for profitability.
The CFTC has proposed and invited public comment regarding a new rule to implement
speculative position limits for futures contracts in certain energy commodities. Such
speculative position limits may apply to traders engaged in trading that is neither for bona
fide hedging nor swap dealer risk management purposes. Depending on the outcome of this or any
future CFTC regulatory action, the rules concerning speculative position limits may be amended
in a manner that is either detrimental or favorable to the Fund. For example, if the amended
rules are detrimental to the Fund, the Funds ability to invest in additional commodity
futures contracts may be limited to the extent these activities would cause the Fund to exceed
the applicable speculative position limits.
In addition, it is possible that the CFTC may propose new rules that would consider
futures contracts underlying OTC transactions in calculating position limits. Such a change
could alter, perhaps to a material extent, the nature of an investment in the Fund to continue
to implement its investment approach.
Over-the-Counter Derivatives Markets
The Reform Act includes provisions that comprehensively regulate the over-the-counter
(OTC) derivatives markets for the first time.
9
Table of Contents
The Reform Act will mandate that a substantial portion of OTC derivatives must be
executed in regulated markets and submitted for clearing to regulated clearinghouses. OTC
trades submitted for clearing will be subject to minimum initial and variation margin
requirements set by the relevant clearinghouse, as well as possible SEC- or CFTC-mandated
margin requirements. The regulators also have broad discretion to impose margin requirements
on non-cleared OTC derivatives and new requirements will apply to the holding of customer
collateral by OTC derivatives dealers. These requirements may increase the amount of
collateral the Fund is required to provide and the costs associated with providing it.
Although the Reform Act includes limited exemptions from the clearing and margin requirements
for so-called end-users, the Fund does not expect to be able to rely on such exemptions. In
addition, the OTC derivatives dealers with which the Fund executes the majority of its OTC
derivatives will not be able to rely on the end-user exemptions under the Reform Act and
therefore such dealers will be subject to clearing and margin requirements irrespective of
whether the Fund is subject to such requirements. OTC derivative dealers also will be required
to post margin to the clearinghouses through which they clear their customers trades instead
of using such margin in their operations, as is currently permitted. This will increase the
OTC derivative dealers costs, and these increased costs are expected to be passed through to
other market participants in the form of higher upfront and mark-to-market margin, less
favorable trade pricing, and the possible imposition of new or increased fees.
The SEC and CFTC may also require a substantial portion of derivative transactions that
are currently executed on a bi-lateral basis in the OTC markets to be executed through a
regulated securities, futures, or swap exchange or execution facility. Such requirements may
make it more difficult and costly for investment funds, including the Fund, to enter into
highly tailored or customized transactions. They may also render certain strategies in which
the Fund might otherwise engage impossible or so costly that they will no longer be economical
to implement.
OTC derivative dealers and major OTC derivatives market participants will be required to
register with the SEC and/or CFTC. The Fund or Campbell & Company may be required to register
as major participants in the OTC derivatives markets. Dealers and major participants will be
subject to minimum capital and margin requirements. These requirements may apply irrespective
of whether the OTC derivatives in question are exchange-traded or cleared. OTC derivatives
dealers will also be subject to new business conduct standards, disclosure requirements,
reporting and recordkeeping requirements, transparency requirements, position limits,
limitations on conflicts of interest, and other regulatory burdens. These requirements may
further increase the overall costs for OTC derivatives dealers, which costs are also likely to
be passed along to market participants. The overall impact of the Reform Act on the Fund is
highly uncertain and it is unclear how the OTC derivatives markets will adapt to this new
regulatory regime.
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 and forward 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 and
forward markets are fundamentally different from the securities markets in that for every gain
made in futures or forward trading, there is an equal and offsetting 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.

Trading Risks
There are Disadvantages to Making Trading Decisions Based Primarily on Technical Market
Data
The trading systems used by the general partner for the Fund are 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 and forward 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 & Companys 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 & Companys
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 end of
2009, this estimate had risen to approximately $213.6 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 strategy if other trading advisors using
technical systems are, at the same time, also attempting to initiate or liquidate futures or
forward 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 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 several consecutive days
with little or no trading. All accounts controlled by Campbell & Company, including the
account of the Fund, 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 & Companys trading decisions for the Fund or force the liquidation of certain
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 miss a profit
opportunity.
Increase in Assets Under Management May Make Profitable Trading More Difficult
The general partner has not agreed to limit the amount of additional equity which it may
manage, and is actively engaged in raising assets for existing and new accounts, including the
Fund. 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 Trend
Following Portfolio, 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 Funds 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.
11
Table of Contents
Investors Will Not be Able to View the Funds Holdings on a Daily Basis, Which May Result in
Unanticipated Losses
The general partner makes the Funds trading decisions. While the general partner
receives daily trade confirmations from the futures broker and over-the-counter counterparty,
the Funds 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.
Tax Risks
Investors are Taxed Based on Their Share of Fund Income and Gain
Investors are taxed each year on their share of the Funds income and gain, if any,
irrespective of whether they redeem any units or receive any cash distribution from the Fund.
The general partner has the authority to make such distributions at any time in its sole
discretion.
All performance information is presented on a pre-tax basis; the investors (other than
tax-exempt investors) who experienced such performance had to pay the related taxes from other
sources.
Tax Could be Due from Investors on Their Share of the Funds Ordinary Income Despite Overall
Losses
Investors may be required to pay tax on their allocable share of the Funds ordinary
income, which in the case of the Fund is the Funds 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,
in the case of non-corporate investors, $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 economic 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 Management and Performance Fees
Although the Fund treats the management and performance fees paid to the general partner
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 Funds trading activities did not
constitute a trade or business for tax purposes. Investment advisory fees are subject to
substantial restrictions on deductibility for federal income tax purposes. Such treatment
would likely create or increase the tax liability of non-corporate limited partners.
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 Funds profitability. Included in
these charges are brokerage fees and operating expenses. On the Funds forward trading,
bid-ask spreads and prime brokerage fees are incorporated into the pricing of forward 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 transactions. Such spreads can at times be significant.
12
Table of Contents
The Funds Service Providers Could Fail
The institutions with which the Fund trades or invests may encounter financial
difficulties that impair the operational capabilities or the capital position of the Fund. A
futures broker is generally required by U.S. law to segregate all funds received from such
brokers customers from such brokers proprietary assets. If the futures broker did 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 broker. Furthermore, in the event of the futures
brokers bankruptcy, the Fund could 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 broker as margin) was held by the futures broker.
Furthermore, dealers in forward 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.
Although the general partner regularly monitors the financial condition of the
counterparties it uses, if the Funds counterparties were to become insolvent or the subject
of liquidation proceedings in the United States (either under the Securities Investor
Protection Act of the United States Bankruptcy Code), there exists the risk that the recovery
of the Funds assets from such counterparty will be delayed or be a value less than the value
of the assets originally entrusted to such counterparty.
Inadequate Models Could Negatively Affect the Funds Portfolio
Campbell & Companys trading is highly model driven, and is materially subject to
possible flaws in the models. As market dynamics (for example, due to changed market
conditions and participants) shift over time, a previously highly successful model often
becomes outdated and inaccurate, sometimes without Campbell & Company recognizing that fact
before substantial losses are incurred. In particular, the Fund may incur major losses in the
event of disrupted markets and other extraordinary events that cause Campbell & Companys
pricing models to generate prices which deviate from the market. The risk of loss to the Fund
in the case of disrupted markets is compounded by the number of different investment models of
pricing, each of which may independently become wholly unpredictable during market
disruptions. In addition, in disrupted derivatives markets, many positions may become
illiquid, making it difficult or impossible to close our positions against which the markets
are moving. There can be no assurance that Campbell & Company will be successful in continuing
to develop and maintain effective quantitative models.
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.
The Global Trend Fund is a recently-formed entity with limited operating history upon
which prospective investors can evaluate its potential performance. The personnel of the
trading advisor responsible for managing the Funds investment portfolio have substantial
experience in managing investments and private and public investment funds and have provided
and continue to provide advisory and management services to clients and private and public
investment funds that have similar investment programs to that of the Fund. However, the past
performance of the trading advisor may not be construed as an indication of the future results
of an investment in the Fund.

Table of Contents
Parties to the Fund Have Conflicts of Interest
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 is 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 arms-length negotiation. These fees consist of a monthly (i) advisory fee
at the annual rate of 2% and (ii) general partner fee at the annual rate of 1%, of the net
asset value of each Class of Units, prior to any accrual for or payment of any advisory fee,
general partner fee, performance fee, redemptions or subscriptions during said month and (iii)
a quarterly performance fee equal to 20% aggregate cumulative appreciation in the respective
Class of Units net asset value per Unit, if any, excluding interest income and as adjusted
for subscriptions and redemptions with the following exception, classes in the Global Trend
Series (GLD) will be charged a performance fee only on the trading performance of the Trend
Following Portfolio (irrespective of the performance of the long gold futures positions
purchased to convert the investors U.S. Dollar investment to an exposure to gold). Campbell &
Company, as general partner, determines whether or not distributions are made and it receives
increased fees to the extent distributions are not made.
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 agents interest in maximizing
compensation and in advising its clients to make investment decisions in the clients best
interest.
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
Limited partners are not entitled to participate in the management of the Fund or the
conduct of its business. Rather, the Fund is wholly dependent upon the services of the general
partner. There can be no assurance that such services will be available for any length of time
following the term of the Advisory Agreement. Furthermore, the incapacity of the general
partners principals could have a material and adverse effect on the general partners ability
to discharge its obligations under the Advisory Agreement. However, there is no individual
principal at Campbell & Company whose absence would result in a material adverse effect on
Campbell & Companys 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 Upsetting Your Investment Portfolio
The general partner 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 broker were revoked or suspended, such entity would no longer be able to provide
services to the Fund.
14
Table of Contents
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 not 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, 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 in the interbank market. In the future, the
Fund may also trade swap agreements, 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.
At this time, 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
Commodity Exchange Act or CFTC regulations in respect of these transactions.
The Fund is Subject to Foreign Market Credit and Regulatory Risk
A substantial portion of Campbell & Companys trades takes place on markets or exchanges
outside the United States. From time to time, over 50% of the Funds overall market exposure
could involve positions taken on foreign markets. The risk of loss in trading foreign futures
contracts can be substantial. Participation in foreign futures contracts 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 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
Limited partners may transfer or assign units only upon 30 days prior written notice to
the general partner and only if the general partner is satisfied that the transfer complies
with applicable laws and would not result in adverse legal or tax consequences for the Fund. A
transferee shall not become a substituted limited partner without the written consent of the
general partner.
15
Table of Contents
Restrictions on Investment by ERISA Plans, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
The general partner anticipates that the underlying assets of the Fund may be considered
for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as
amended,
and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), as amended, to be
assets of certain employee benefit plans and other Plans that purchase units. Under such
circumstances, the investments of the Fund and the activities of the general partner will be
subject to and, in certain cases, limited by, ERISA and the Code.
When considering an investment in the Fund of the assets of an ERISA Plan, a fiduciary
with respect to such plan should consider, among other things: (i) the definition of Plan
assets under ERISA and regulations issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) regarding the
definition of Plan assets; (ii) whether the investment satisfies the diversification
requirements of Section 404(a)(1) of ERISA; (iii) whether the investment satisfies the
prudence requirements of Section 404(a)(1) of ERISA; and (iv) that there will be no secondary
market in which such fiduciary can sell or otherwise dispose of the units.
A Single-Advisor Fund May be More Volatile Than a Multi-Advisor Fund
The Fund is a single-advisor managed futures fund. Potential investors should understand
that many managed futures funds are structured as multi-advisor funds in order to attempt to
control risk and reduce volatility through combining advisors whose historical performance
records have exhibited a significant degree of non-correlation with each other. As a
single-advisor managed futures fund, 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 a speculative strategy 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 Funds account in the absence of such a performance fee arrangement.
Accordingly, Campbell & Company may make investments that are riskier than might be made if
the Funds assets were managed by a trading advisor that did not require performance-based
compensation.
The Fund May Distribute Profits to Partners at Inopportune Times
Campbell & Company reserves the right to make distributions of profits of the Fund to the
partners at any time in its sole discretion in order to control the growth of the assets under
Campbell & Companys management. 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 & Companys 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 &
Companys hardware or software, could disrupt trading or make trading impossible until such a
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.
16
Table of Contents
Failure to Receive Timely and Accurate Market Data from Third Party Vendors Could Cause
Disruptions or the Inability to Trade
Campbell & Companys 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 Campbell & Company 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 Campbell & Company to reverse
such action or inaction, all of which may ultimately be to the detriment of the Fund.

Introduction
The general partner began trading the Global Trend Series (USD) as of June 1, 2010 by
investing $7,500,000 in Class A (USD) and $7,500,000 in Class C (USD). Each of the Classes is
now being offered continuously. As of December 31, 2010, the initial offering period for the
Global Trend Series (GLD) has ended and trading has not commenced.
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 Funds 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. forward contracts which are traded in the inter-bank market).
Capital Resources
The selling agents will offer the Fund Units during the initial offering period, and
thereafter through the sale of Units offered pursuant to the continuing offering. The Fund
does not intend to raise any capital through borrowing. Due to the nature of the Funds
business, it will make no capital expenditures and will have no capital assets, which are not
operating capital or assets.
Liquidity
Most United States commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in 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 Funds
futures trading operations, the Funds assets are expected to be highly liquid.
The entire offering proceeds, without deductions, will be credited to the Funds bank and
brokerage accounts to engage in trading activities and as reserves for that trading. The Fund
will meet margin requirements for its trading activities by depositing cash or U.S. government
securities with the futures broker and the over-the-counter counterparty. In this way,
substantially all (i.e., 95% or more) of the Funds assets, whether used as margin for trading
purposes or as reserves for such trading, may be invested in U.S. government securities and
time deposits with U.S. banks. This does not reduce the risk of loss from trading futures and
forward contracts. The Fund will receive all interest earned on its assets. No other person
shall receive any interest or other economic benefits from the deposit of the Funds assets.
19
Table of Contents
Approximately 10% to 30% of the Funds assets will normally be committed as required
margin for futures contracts and held by the futures broker, although the amount committed may
vary significantly. Such assets will be 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 Funds assets will be deposited with
over-the-counter counterparty in order to initiate and maintain 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 will be held either in U.S. government securities or short-term time deposits with
U.S.-regulated bank affiliates of the over-the-counter counterparty. The remaining 40% to 80%
of the Funds assets will normally be invested in cash equivalents, such as U.S. Treasury
bills, and held by the futures broker or the over-the-counter counterparties.
The Fund occasionally receives margin calls (requests to post more collateral) from its
futures broker or over-the-counter counterparties, which are met by moving the required
portion of the assets held in bank or other brokerage accounts to the account on margin call.
The Fund has not needed to liquidate any position as a result of a margin call.
The Funds assets 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 and forward 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 Funds trading advisor was unable to offset
futures interests positions of the Fund, the Fund could lose all of its assets and the
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 and forward 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 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 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 (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.
Results of Operations
The return for the period June 1 (commencement of trading) through December 31, 2010 for
Class A and Class C were 11.88% and 12.86%, respectively.
The following is a discussion of the management and performance fees accrued and paid.
During the period June 1 (commencement of trading) through December 31, 2010, the Fund accrued
management fees in the amount of $279,083 and paid management fees in the amount of $236,152.
During the period June 1 (commencement of trading) through December 31, 2010, the Fund
accrued performance fees in the amount of $462,947 and paid performance fees in the amount of
$241,578.
2010
Of the 11.88% return for period June 1 (commencement of trading) through December 31,
2010 for Class A, approximately 18.49% was due to trading gains (before commissions) and
approximately 0.04% due to investment income, offset by approximately 6.65% due to brokerage
fees, management fees, selling agent fees, offering costs and operating expenses borne by
Class A.
Of the 12.86% return for period June 1 (commencement of trading) through December 31,
2010 for Class C, approximately 18.49% was due to trading gains (before commissions) and
approximately 0.04% due to investment income, offset by approximately 5.67% due to brokerage
fees, management fees, offering costs and operating expenses borne by Class C.

In June, another month of the risk off trade gave government bonds a bid, which
produced healthy gains from long global fixed income positions. Unfortunately, these gains
were offset by losses in equity indices, foreign exchange and commodities. Long equity
positions suffered from an equity sell-off, which primarily stemmed from weaker than expected
U.S. and Chinese economic data, negative corporate news and interbank funding concerns in the
European region. Foreign exchange trading generated losses primarily from the Funds short
Swiss Franc position as the currency rallied 7% vs. the U.S. Dollar based on Swiss National
Bank comments softening its intervention language. Commodity trading produced minimal losses,
largely from our trading in natural gas futures which ended up 3.6% after finally breaking out
of a three-month range. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has not been a significant factor
on short-term price movements but most analysts agree that the real impact will be long-term
as the cost of production is almost sure to go higher on the back of tighter regulation.

Table of Contents
Catalysts for the equity rally in July hinged on strong economic data out of Europe,
positive results from European bank stress tests and an increase in positive sentiment out of
China. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones recorded gains of approximately 7% in July, adding another
twist to their rollercoaster paths. Small gains were recorded in the European and U.S. equity
markets from long positions in stock index futures as over-sold conditions paved the way for a
reversal higher. Stocks rallied on better-than-expected second quarter earnings, increased M&A
activity, higher dividends and additional buybacks. The Fund experienced losses in
commodities, primarily from short positions in crude oil and long positions in precious
metals. The correlation between equities and energies remained high and the rally in global
equities sparked profit taking, reducing investor demand for gold as a safe haven. The Fund
had additional losses in foreign exchange from short positions in the Euro/Yen cross, as the
Euro showed renewed signs of life, appreciating more than 4% against the Yen. Losses were
offset by gains in equities trading and in short-term fixed income markets from long positions
in Eurodollar interest rate futures. Weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data led the market to
believe that the Federal Reserve will need to keep interest rates low for an extended period.
The release of the August U.S. Federal Reserve meeting minutes resulted in yet another
sell-off of risk assets, which helped contributed to the rise in fixed income prices. Yields
reached multi-year lows in the U.S., Europe, and U.K., resulting in gains from the Funds long
fixed income positions, especially on the long end of the curve. Smaller gains were realized
in the commodity markets, primarily in precious metals. Gold fully retraced Julys corrective
sell-off, with its August month-end market value closing several ticks higher than the June
close. The Funds long gold position benefitted from golds safe-haven status, as well as from
news out of China, the worlds largest consumer and producer of gold, that they will allow
greater access to trading of the metal. The Funds long silver position also produced
favorable results due to its lock-step trading with gold. Long global equity indices holdings
resulted in losses for the month. Weak labor and housing data releases, coupled with the
FOMCs downgrade of its assessment of the U.S. economic outlook, contributed to the poor
performance of U.S. market indices. Japanese equities fared worse, as the stubbornly strong
Japanese Yen weighs on Japanese exporters. By month-end, the Euro Stoxx 50 lost nearly 4.5%,
the S&P 500 fell about 4.75%, and the Japanese Nikkei lost almost 7.5%. Additional losses were
recorded in the foreign exchange markets from short positions in the Euro/Yen cross as the
Euro appreciated more than 4% against the Japanese Yen. The Euro moved higher against most
currencies as investors covered short positions as the Euro showed renewed signs of life.
Asset prices during the month of September were driven by FOMC hinting that the Federal
Reserve is ready and willing to undergo a second round of quantitative easing. While the U.S.
Dollar and interest rates fell, equities and commodities rose significantly. Commodity trading
was the dominant contributor to positive performance for the month, particularly in precious
and base metals, grains and soft commodities. Gold prices reached all-time highs, while silver
rallied 12% to levels not seen since the early 1980s. Aluminum and nickel prices also posted
double-digit increases during the month. Elevated demand and weather-related supply concerns
pushed sugar, cotton and corn prices up over 22%, 17% and 10%, respectively. While commodity
trading was a strong driver, foreign exchange was also a material contributor to performance,
particularly from commodity-linked currencies. The month brought U.S. Dollar weakness against
all major currencies as investors bet the Federal Reserve would implement a fresh round of
asset purchases to jump-start the slowing U.S. economy. Smaller gains were recorded in the
equity markets as prices surged higher on fewer concerns of a double-dip U.S. recession and
a continued increase in M&A activity. Stocks in Asia took the lead, followed by the U.S. and
Europe, which lagged due to ongoing sovereign debt level concerns. A portion of the
Portfolios gains were offset by losses in fixed income markets as bond prices were extremely
volatile during September.

Financial markets in October were fixated on the U.S. Federal Reserves intentions to
engage in a second round of Quantitative Easing (QE2). In September, markets began pricing
in the anticipated QE2 stimulus, which clearly continued into October. Over the course of the
month the U.S. Treasury markets shifted from speculating on a future deflationary environment
to pricing in future inflation in the TIPS market. Perhaps the markets were reacting to
Chairman Bernankes comments that inflation is too low and unemployment is too high. Commodity
trading was a primary driver of gains for the Fund as silver and gold reached new highs mid-month, and zinc
and copper surged higher in the base metal category. Sugar and cotton both rose over 22% on
supply/demand imbalances, while grains continued their upward trend with corn leading the way
in performance for the sector. The growing expectations of QE2 in the U.S., third quarter
earnings that largely beat analyst estimates and market expectations for a congressional
change of power at the mid-term elections, propelled the global equity markets higher. The
Fund recorded strong gains in stock index trading, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. QE2
also took center stage in currency trading, allowing the Fund to benefit from a weaker U.S.
Dollar against most major currencies. Asian-based currencies and commodity-linked currencies
were, in particular, profitable. Minimal losses were recorded in the fixed income markets as
positive intra-month economic data caused market participants to question if additional QE on
a global level was warranted on such a massive scale.
After much anticipation and debate, Quantitative Easing 2 (QE2) arrived in November,
the second effort by the U.S. Federal Reserve to stimulate the U.S. economy through government
bond purchases. Perhaps a case of buy the rumor, sell the fact, bond prices fell following
the announcement and continued to fall for the remainder of the month generating losses for
the Fund in fixed income trading. In currency trading, once QE2 was announced, the U.S. Dollar
never looked back. The Funds short U.S. Dollar position was significantly reduced during the
month; however, small losses in currency trading were incurred. In Europe, the Euro dropped
below 1.30 for the first time in more than 10 weeks as speculation leaned toward a worsening
debt crisis, and unemployment in the region rose to the highest level in more than 12 years.
Commodities were volatile and mixed, generating small gains in the sector for Campbell on the
month. Gains in energy trading and metals were dampened by losses in grains and soft
commodities. While the energy complex made new highs for the year, primarily on the Chinese
inflation story, cotton prices fell 26% from the mid-November high. It seems to be all about
China these days as they attempt to dampen growth for fear of inflation. Equity trading was
marginally positive despite mixed performance around the globe. While major U.S. indices
finished slightly lower on the month, Japans Nikkei was up 8%, primarily driven by the
weakening Yen. Global Central Bank intervention has made trading based solely on macroeconomic
measures difficult. The Funds models have naturally tilted to technical indicators until the
value of fundamental information is once again relevant to asset prices.
The appetite for risk-based assets was clearly back in vogue during the month of
December. Commodities were the strongest performing sector during the month for the Fund as
the rally in energies, metals, soft commodities and grain markets continued. The petroleum and
industrial metal complexes closed December near the years highs on steady demand and a
healthy global economic picture. Cotton rallied over 25% during the month to finish up over
90% on the year. Additional gains were recorded in stock index trading as global equity
markets staged a strong rally during the month on better than expected economic data,
including strong consumer spending during the 2010 holiday season, and increased M&A activity.
Despite signs of a stronger economy and higher interest rates, the U.S. Dollar weakened
against all major currencies in December, fueling gains for the Fund in the currency sector.
Commodity-linked currencies, in particular, enjoyed a strong rally with the Australian Dollar
reaching its strongest level since 1982. Despite its strong year-to-date performance, Fixed
Income was the only losing sector for the Fund in December, as economic conditions improved
and Central Bank policies across the globe remained unchanged.
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 Funds
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 Funds main line of business.
23
Table of Contents
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Funds open
positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds market sensitive instruments.
Quantifying the Funds Trading Value at Risk
Quantitative Forward-Looking Statements
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds VaR at a one day 97.5% confidence level
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.
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 Funds 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 Funds 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.
24
Table of Contents
VaR models, including the Funds, 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 and forwards, the
composition of the Funds 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 Funds Trading Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors
The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Funds open
positions by market category as of December 31, 2010 and the trading gains/losses by market
category for the period June 1 (commencement of trading) through December 31, 2010.

Table of Contents
Material Limitations on 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
Funds future financial performance or its ability to manage and monitor risk. There can be
no assurance that the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds
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,
2010, by market sector.
Currencies
Exchange rate risk is the principal market exposure of the Fund. The Funds currency
exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical
pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are
influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The
Fund trades in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates i.e., positions between
two currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Campbell & Company does not anticipate that the
risk profile of the Funds currency sector will change significantly in the future.
26
Table of Contents
Interest Rates
Interest rate risk is a significant market exposure of the Fund. Interest rate movements
directly affect the price of the sovereign bond positions held by the Fund and indirectly the
value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as
well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact the Funds
profitability. The Funds primary interest rate exposure is to 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 market exposure of the Fund for the foreseeable future.
The changes in interest rates which have the most effect on the Fund are changes in
long-term, as opposed to short-term rates. 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 Funds 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 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 Funds positions
being whipsawed into numerous small losses.
Energy
The Funds 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 Funds metals market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of aluminum, copper,
gold, nickel, platinum, silver, and zinc.
Agricultural
The Funds agricultural exposure is to fluctuations of the price of wheat, corn, coffee,
cocoa, sugar, soy, hogs, cattle, canola, and cotton.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
The following were the non-trading risk exposures of the Fund as of December 31, 2010.
Foreign Currency Balances
The Funds primary foreign currency balances are in Australian Dollar, 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 per
month, and more frequently if a particular foreign currency balance becomes unusually large).
27
Table of Contents
Treasury Bill Positions for Margin Purposes
The Fund also has market exposure in its Treasury Bill portfolio. The Fund may hold
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 Funds 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 Funds 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 out open positions.
Campbell & Company manages the risk of the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds operations.

Managements 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 Fund. 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 Funds 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 Fund; | ||
| 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 partnerships 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 Funds 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 Funds internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2010. 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, 2010,
the Funds internal control over financial reporting was effective.

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 audit 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 significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, cash
flows, changes in its partners capital (net asset value) and the financial highlights for the
period April 6, 2010 (inception ) through December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2010
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. | General Description of the Trust | |
Campbell Global Trend Fund, L.P. (the Fund) was formed as a Delaware series limited partnership pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the Act) on December 1, 2009. The Fund consists of two series (Series) the Global Trend Series (USD) and the Global Trend Series (GLD). The Act provides for the limitation of liability of each Series of the Fund to the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses of such Series and not those of any other Series or the Fund in general. The Fund operates as a commodity investment pool and engages in the speculative trading of futures and forward currency contracts. | ||
The Global Trend Series (USD) seeks appreciation through trading a diversified portfolio of global futures and currencies pursuant to both traditional trend following and factor based trend following models (the Trend Following Portfolio). | ||
The Global Trend Series (GLD) seeks to provide investors with a gold-denominated exposure to the Trend Following Portfolio. The gold-denominated exposure is achieved by maintaining an exposure to gold by purchasing long positions in gold futures with a value approximately equal to the net asset value of the Series (the Gold Portfolio). The Global Trend Series (GLD) then seeks appreciation through a 100% overlay of the Trend Following Portfolio. | ||
The Global Trend Series (USD) consists of five classes of limited partnership Units: Class A (USD) Units, Class B (USD) Units, Class C (USD) Units, Class D (USD) Units and Class E (USD) Units. Only Class A (USD) Units, Class B (USD) Units, Class C (USD) Units and Class D (USD) Units will be offered. Class E (USD) Units are not being offered for sale but will be issued in exchange for Class A (USD) Units, Class B (USD) Units, Class C (USD) Units and Class D (USD) Units in certain circumstances. | ||
The Global Trend Series (GLD) consists of three classes of limited partnership Units: Class A (GLD) Units, Class B (GLD) Units and Class C (GLD) Units. Only Class A (GLD) Units and Class B (GLD) Units are being offered for sale. Class C (GLD) Units are not being offered for sale but will be issued in exchange for Class A (GLD) Units and Class B (GLD) Units in certain circumstances. | ||
The Fund was initially seeded with $1,000 each in Class A (USD), Class B (USD), Class C (USD), Class D (USD), Class A (GLD) and Class B (GLD) as of April 6, 2010. These amounts were redeemed before the Fund began trading on June 1, 2010. The Global Trend Series (GLD) has yet to commence trading. Therefore, the financial statements presented for the Global Trend Series (USD) are representative of the financial statements of the Campbell Global Trend Fund, L.P. in its entirety, as the Global Trend Series (GLD) has no activity to report as of the date of the financial statements. | ||
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 Funds 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 Funds 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. 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 on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair 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. | ||
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. 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 Funds 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 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 Funds 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 period ended December 31, 2010, the Fund did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities. | ||
In January 2010, the FASB 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 Fund adopted the provisions of ASC 2010-06 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 management does not expect that adoption of the remaining provisions will have a material impact on the Funds financial statement disclosures. |

D. | Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and overnight money market investments at financial institutions. | ||
E. | Income Taxes | |
The Fund will prepare calendar year U.S. federal and applicable state information tax returns and report to the partners their allocable shares of the Funds 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 partners respective share of the Funds income and expenses as reported for income tax purposes. | ||
Management has continued to evaluate the application of ASC 740, 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. | ||

Note 6. | SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS | |
Investments in the Fund are made by subscription agreement, subject to acceptance by Campbell & Company. | ||

The month-end as of which the Unit is purchased is counted as the first month-end. After the twelfth month-end following purchase of a Class A (USD) Unit, Class B (USD) Unit or Class A (GLD) Unit, no redemption fees apply. | ||
Note 7. | TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS | |
The Fund engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts and 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 agricultural 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. | ||
Purchase and sale of futures contracts requires margin deposits with the broker. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such brokers proprietary activities. A customers 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 brokers segregation requirements. In the event of a brokers 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 cash deposited with interbank market makers at December 31, 2010 was $997,000, which equals 5.90% of Net Asset Value. Included in cash deposits with the broker and interbank market maker at December 31, 2010 was restricted cash for margin requirements of $1,098,083, which equals 6.50% of Net Asset Value. | ||
The Fund trades forward currency contracts in unregulated markets between principals and assumes the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. Accordingly, the risks associated with forward 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 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 institutions insolvency, recovery of Fund assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits. | ||
For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the contracts. Theoretically, the Fund is exposed to a market risk equal to the notional contract value of futures and forward currency contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short. See Note 1. C. for an explanation of how the Fund determines its valuation for derivatives as well as the netting of derivatives. | ||
The Fund adopted ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASC 815 provides enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. | ||
The following tables summarize quantitative information required by ASC 815. | ||

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 & Companys 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 & Companys attempt to manage the risk of the Funds 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 Trusts 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 filed. Other than the following, there are no subsequent events to dislose or record. On March 18, 2011, the Fund filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to merge the Global Trend Series (GLD) into the Global Trend Series (USD). As of March 29, 2011, the registration is not yet effective. |
