Summary
 
Bridgeton Global Directional Fund, LP, formerly RFMC Global Directional Fund, LP, (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Partnership’s business is to trade, buy, sell or otherwise acquire, hold or dispose of commodity futures contracts, options on physical commodities and on commodity futures contracts, forward contracts, and instruments that may be subject of a futures contract, including equities, indices and sectors (“Commodity Interests”), and any rights pertaining thereto and to engage in all activities incident thereto.  The Partnership may also invest in entities (including without limitation other partnerships, separate managed accounts, exchange traded funds or other types of funds) that primarily trade in exchange traded securities, options on exchange traded securities, exchange traded funds, and Commodity Interests. The objective of the Partnership is the appreciation of its assets through speculative trading.
 
From the Partnership’s start until February 1, 2011, Ruvane Fund Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Ruvane”, or the “General Partner” for periods prior to March 1, 2011), was the sole general partner of the Partnership.  From that date until March 1, 2010, Bridgeton Fund Management, LLC (“Bridgeton”, or the “General Partner” for periods on or after March 1, 2011) was a co-general partner of the Partnership with Ruvane.  Effective March 1, 2011, Bridgeton is the sole general partner of the Partnership.  During 2010 and 2009 the Partnership and Ruvane maintained their principal business office at 4 Benedek Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. Bridgeton’s and the Partnership’s current address is 7535 Windsor Drive, Suite A205, Allentown, PA 18195, and the telephone number for the Partnership and the General Partner is (610) 366-3922, the facsimile number is (610) 366-3990, their e-mail address is info@bridgetonfunds.com and the General Partner's website is www.bridgetonfunds.com.
 
The General Partner has been registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) since January 11, 2011 and has been a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) since January 11, 2011. The General Partner has selected Welton Investment Corporation (“WIC” or the “Advisor”) as the Partnership's trading advisor. The Advisor's main business address is The Eastwood Building, San Carlos between 5th and 6th Carmel, California 93921-6147; telephone: (831) 626-5190; facsimile: (831) 626-5199; and email: busdev@welton.com. WIC has been registered with the CFTC as a CTA and CPO since January 4, 1989. WIC is a member of the NFA in such capacities since January 4, 1989. All trading decisions regarding the Partnership are made by WIC.
 
All of the Partnership's assets are traded pursuant to the Advisor's proprietary quantitative trading strategy known as Global Directional Portfolio. From the Partnership’s start until February 28, 2011, the assets of the Partnership traded at a leverage ratio of 1.2 (such amount is referred to herein as the “Trading Level”). Currently the Trading Level is 1.0.  In addition, while the Partnership currently trades the full set of markets traded pursuant to the Advisor’s Global Directional Portfolio strategy, prior to March 1, 2011, the Partnership traded a somewhat more limited set of markets than other accounts traded pursuant to the Advisor's Global Directional Portfolio strategy.  The General Partner may in its discretion change the Trading Level at any time or elect to have the Advisor trade a more or less extensive set of markets. The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts, options on commodities or commodity futures contracts, and forward contracts (“Commodity and Futures Contracts”).  The Partnership may also invest in entities (including without limitation other partnerships, separate managed accounts, exchange traded funds or other types of funds) that primarily trade in exchange traded securities, options on exchange traded securities, exchange traded funds or Commodity and Futures Contracts.  A representative list of the types of markets that may be traded is set forth below.
 
The Partnership is designed to permit investors to participate in the financial advantages presented by trading in Commodity and Futures Contracts. However, trading in Commodity and Futures Contracts does entail significant risks, and it is possible that an investor in the Partnership could lose its entire investment. Trading in Commodity and Futures Contracts is speculative, volatile and highly leveraged and may be riskier and more volatile than many other investments. Further, the Partnership is obligated to pay trading and operational expenses and pay incentive fees, if any, which could materially affect the net results of an investment in the Partnership by reducing net profits or increasing net losses, and the Partnership will be required to make trading profits in the amount of such charges and fees, less interest earned, to avoid depletion or exhaustion of its assets and to generate any profits for the Partnership and the limited partners. There can be no assurance that the Partnership will achieve any profits.
 
In accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”), the Partnership offers limited partnership interests in private offering pursuant to Regulation D as adopted under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Partnership will offer the units up to an aggregate of $100,000,000, subject to increase by the General Partner in increments of $10,000,000 after notice to the limited partners of the Partnership. The Partnership offers two classes of limited partnership interests, the Institutional Class and the Investor Class. What class of interests an investor is permitted to purchase will depend upon the nature of the investor (e.g., whether the investor is an institutional investor or an individual investor) and whether a sales agent will receive a commission with respect to such investor. The Investor Class will be charged a 7.00% annual brokerage fee and the Institutional Class will be charged a 4.00% annual brokerage fee. In addition, the classes may be comprised of different series. If the General Partner establishes with respect to a limited partner a fee arrangement whereby the commission charges, General Partner management fee or incentive allocation to the General Partner is different from the general Investor Class or Institutional Class (or any series that has previously been established under the Investor Class or Institutional Class), a new series will be established under the relevant class to reflect such fee arrangement. The General Partner may establish different series in its discretion with higher or lower fees than those described herein to reflect different fee arrangements the General Partner may wish to establish for an investor (or group of investors) for marketing purposes. All limited partnership interests, regardless of series or class, will share on a pro rata basis in the Partnership's holdings and trading results and will have the same redemption and consent rights and are subject to the same minimum investment amounts.
 
The General Partner
 
The General Partner, to the exclusion of the limited partners of the Partnership, manages and conducts the business of the Partnership. The General Partner (i) selects and monitors the independent commodity trading advisors and the commodity brokers; (ii) allocates and/or reallocates assets of the Partnership to or from the advisors; (iii) determines if an advisor or commodity broker should be removed or replaced; (iv) negotiates management fees, incentive fees and brokerage commissions; and (v) performs such other services as the Partnership may from time to time request.
 
The General Partner is responsible for the selection of commodity trading advisors for the Partnership. The General Partner has currently selected WIC to act as trading advisor for the Partnership and the Partnership's capital will be allocated to the Global Directional Portfolio of WIC. The General Partner, in the future, may allocate the Partnership's assets to other trading programs. In addition, the General Partner may introduce the Partnership's trades to the Partnership's commodity brokers. Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner will maintain a general partner contribution of $1,000 to the Partnership.  The individual principals of the General Partner are Robert L. Lerner, Stephen J. Roseme and Jeffrey Brian Mokychic.  The trading principals are Mr. Lerner and Mr. Roseme.  See ITEM 10. “Directors and Executive Officers.”
 
Futures Trading
 
Futures contracts are contracts made on or through a commodity exchange and provide for future delivery of agricultural and industrial commodities, precious metals, foreign currencies or financial instruments, and in the case of certain contracts, such as stock index futures contracts and Eurodollar futures contracts, provide for cash settlement. Such contracts are uniform for each commodity on each exchange and vary only with respect to price and delivery time. A contract to buy or sell may be satisfied either by making or taking delivery of the commodity and payment or acceptance of the entire purchase price therefore or by offsetting the obligation with a contract containing a matching contractual obligation on the same (or a linked) exchange prior to delivery. In futures and forward trading, capital is not used to acquire a physical asset but only as security for the payment of losses incurred on open positions. United States commodity exchanges individually or, in certain limited situations, in conjunction with certain foreign exchanges, provide a clearing mechanism to facilitate the matching of offsetting trades. Once trades made between members of an exchange have been confirmed, the clearinghouse is substituted for the clearing member acting on behalf of each buyer and each seller of contracts traded on the exchange and in effect becomes the other party to the trade. Thereafter, each clearing member party to the trade looks only to the clearinghouse for performance. Clearinghouses do not deal with customers, but only with member firms, and the “guarantee” of performance under open positions provided by the clearinghouse does not extend to customers. If a customer's commodity broker becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or otherwise defaults on such broker's obligations to such customer, the customer in question may not receive all amounts owing to such customer in respect of trading, despite the clearinghouse fully discharging all of its obligations.
 
Two broad classifications of persons who trade in commodity futures are “hedgers” and “speculators”. Commercial interests, including banks and other financial institutions, and farmers, who market or process commodities, use the futures markets for hedging. Hedging is a protective procedure designed to minimize losses that may occur because of price fluctuations. The usual objective of the hedger is to protect the profit that he expects to earn from his financial operations, rather than to profit strictly from his futures trading. The commodity markets enable the hedger to shift the risk of price fluctuations to the speculator.
 
The speculator, such as the Partnership, risks its capital with the hope of making profits from the price fluctuations in futures contracts. The speculator assumes the risks which the hedger seeks to avoid. Speculators rarely expect to take or make delivery of the cash or actual physical commodity in the futures market. Rather, they generally close out their futures positions by entering into offsetting purchases or sales of futures contracts. Because the speculator may take either a long or short position in the futures markets, it is possible for the speculator to earn profits or incur losses regardless of the direction of price trends. Generally, commodities trades made by the Partnership will be for speculative rather than for hedging purposes.
 
The justification for futures trading is that it provides the means for those who produce or deal in cash commodities to hedge against unpredictable price changes. Price fluctuations affect the value of inventory, the cost of production and the competitive pricing of end products. The risks of price fluctuation confront and threaten a diverse set of firms that merchandise, store or process large volumes of cash commodities. Government securities dealers, for example, often maintain a large inventory of notes and bonds. Even a small increase in prevailing interest rate levels can significantly reduce the value of those inventory holdings, and hence the price at which they can be sold. In determining the pricing of its output, the large baker, for example, is subject to the market prices of its raw materials, such as wheat, sugar and cocoa. A sudden increase in the prices of these materials will raise the cost of production and negatively affect the competitiveness of the finished product. Other entities that face the risks associated with market price fluctuation include farmers, grain elevator operators, importers, refiners and commercial banks. The constraint these entities face is that there are no short run substitutes for certain items essential for continued operation. The baker cannot function without flour, the securities dealer without bonds or the refiner without crude oil. As a result, the need arises for a vehicle through which commercial entities as a group can transfer the risk of price fluctuation to some other group that is willing to bear that risk. The futures markets exist as the vehicle that allows the transfer of price risk from commercial entities, called hedgers, to risk-bearing entities, called investors or speculators.
 
Investment Philosophy
 
The General Partner believes that, if an investor utilizes a disciplined approach to managing risk, and is appropriately capitalized, the investor will earn a premium for bearing risk. It is this premium that is the source of returns to futures investing. The returns to futures investing are driven by events that upset the supply and demand equilibrium of the underlying commodity market. For example, a change in the prime rate will affect interest rate and currency instruments, a drought will alter the production expectations for agricultural products, or the prospect of a war in the Middle East will cause the prices of crude oil and its derivatives to fluctuate. It is during these periods of disruption that the risk premium generally is paid. Conversely, when commodity markets are stable and directionless, returns from risk premium are not to be expected. Since traditional investment instruments like stocks and bonds perform poorly during disruptive periods and well in a stable economic environment, a futures investment can offer the potential benefits of diversification to a traditional portfolio.
 
The General Partner believes that two important considerations in evaluating an investment opportunity are whether the investment has a sound underlying economic foundation for its expected return and whether the approach employed by the investment's manager has the capability to realize that return. The General Partner's approach to investment in futures is designed to achieve consistent profits over the long term.
 
The General Partner currently allocates the Partnership's capital to WIC's Global Directional Portfolio. The General Partner measures the success of an investment program by its trading and research results and experience. The General Partner believes, on the basis of its past experience, that an account should be considered a long-term investment in order to afford the trading strategy time to operate under a variety of different market conditions. Consequently, the General Partner may choose not to reallocate capital from or terminate a trading strategy even if that investment program or trading strategy has had an unprofitable period of significant duration.
 
Extensive leverage is available in futures markets. The General Partner will monitor WIC's trading so that leverage remains within levels acceptable to the General Partner, in its sole discretion. From the start of the Partnership through February 28, 2011, the leverage that WIC employed on behalf of the Partnership was 1.2, or 20% higher than the actual funds allocated to WIC (such amount is referred to herein as the “Trading Level”). Currently, the Trading Level is 1.0.  In general, margin commitments for the Partnership will range between 15% and 20% of capital, although they may be substantially more or less than that any time. Margin commitments represent that portion of the capital of the Partnership which is committed as margin for futures contracts. Margins are good faith deposits which must be made with a commodity broker in order to initiate or maintain an open position in a futures contract.

The Advisor
 
The General Partner has selected WIC as the Partnership's trading advisor. WIC is not affiliated with the General Partner except as described in “Conflicts of Interest.” WIC makes trading decisions pursuant to its proprietary quantitative trading strategy known as Global Directional Portfolio.
 
WIC provides qualified investors professional investment management services focused on managed futures-based trading strategies utilizing quantitative research combined with experienced portfolio management. WIC's primary activity is to buy, sell (including short sales), spread or otherwise trade in commodity futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward contracts, commodity options, physical commodities, swaps, currencies and related instruments on United States and foreign exchanges in agricultural products, energy products, financial instruments and indices, foreign currencies, and metals.
 
Trading Programs
 
Commodity traders generally rely on either technical or fundamental analysis, or a combination thereof, in making trading decisions and attempting to identify price trends. Fundamental analysis looks at the external factors that affect the supply and demand of a particular commodity in order to predict future prices. As an example, some of the fundamental factors that affect the demand of a foreign currency, like the British pound, are the inflation and interest rates of the currency's domestic market, exchange controls, and the country's balance of trade, business climate and political stability. The supply of a currency may be determined by, among other things, government spending, credit controls, domestic money supply and prior years' trade balances. Some of the fundamental factors that affect the supply of an agricultural commodity, such as corn, include the acreage planted and factors affecting crop conditions such as drought, flood and disease. The demand for corn consists of domestic consumption and exports, and is a product of many things, including general world economic conditions, as well as the cost of corn in relation to the cost of competing products such as soybean meal, wheat, oats and barley.
 
Technical analysis is not based on the anticipated supply and demand of the cash (actual) commodity; instead, it is based on the theory that a study of the markets themselves will provide a means of anticipating future prices. Technical analysis of the markets generally will include a study of the actual daily, weekly and monthly price fluctuations, volume variations and changes in open interest, utilizing charts or computers for analysis of these items.
 
The trading strategy which the General Partner has selected to trade the Partnership's assets is described below, and from time to time may be changed or refined. Additional trading programs may be developed by WIC or other trading advisors who may be employed in trading the assets of the Partnership.
 
WIC's Global Directional Portfolio is a proprietary quantitative trading system which will attempt to detect trends in price movements for futures, forward and spot contracts. All successful speculative commodity trading depends upon establishing a position and then maintaining that position while the market moves in favor of the trader. Technical trading systems seek to establish such positions and to exit the market and establish reverse positions, or both, when the favorable trend either reverses or does not materialize. No such system will be successful if the market is moving in an erratic and nontrending manner or if the market moves in the direction opposite to that predicted by the system. Because of the nature of commodity markets, prices frequently appear to be trending when the market is, in fact, without a trend. In addition, a trading system may identify markets as trending favorably to a particular position in the market even though actual market performance thereafter is the reverse of the trend identified.
 
The trading strategy WIC follows does not assure the success of the Partnership. Investment decisions made in accordance with this strategy will be based on an assessment of available facts. However, because of the large quantity of facts at hand, a number of available facts may be overlooked. Variables may shift and any investment decision must, in the final analysis, be based on the judgment of WIC. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that WIC's trading strategy will result in profits to investors in the Partnership.
 
Allocation of Capital
 
All of the Partnership's assets are currently allocated to WIC's Global Directional Portfolio, which is a proprietary quantitative trading strategy, and are traded at a leverage ratio of 1.0.  From the start of the Partnership until February 28, 2011 the Partnership traded at a leverage of 1.2 (which is 20% greater than normal) and traded a somewhat more limited set of markets than other accounts traded pursuant to the Advisor’s Global Directional Portfolio strategy.  Effective March 1, 2011, the Partnership trades a complete set of markets.  The General Partner, in the future, may allocate the Partnership's assets to other trading strategies and investment programs.
 
WIC's Global Directional Portfolio
 
WIC's Global Directional Portfolio is a comprehensive managed futures program designed to reliably deliver the style class returns of directional managed futures accompanied by a sustainable performance advantage. The trading program consists only of positions on futures and forward contracts and will not include equity securities, bonds or other similar instruments. The trading program guides WIC's investment decisions on behalf of the Partnership.
 
The trading system used by WIC is proprietary and confidential. The description above, therefore, is of necessity general and not intended to be exhaustive.

Trading Policies
 
In its trading activities, the Partnership will adhere to the following policies. The General Partner will notify limited partners of any changes in these trading policies.
 
1.           The Partnership will not lend or borrow money, although the Partnership may utilize lines of credit for trading forward contracts.
 
2.           The Partnership will not commingle its assets with those of other persons, except as permitted under the CEA and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
3.           The Partnership will not trade bank forward contracts with or through any bank that, as of the end of its latest fiscal year, had an aggregate balance in its capital, surplus and related accounts of less than $100,000,000, as shown by its published financial statements for such year.
 
4.           The Partnership will not purchase, sell or trade securities, except securities approved by the CFTC for investment of customer funds. The Partnership may trade in futures contracts on securities and securities indices, options on such futures contracts, and other commodity options.
 
The Clearing Broker and Introducing Broker
 
The Partnership executes and clears trades in futures and commodity options through ADM Investor Services, Inc. (“ADMIS”), Newedge USA, LLC (“NUSA”) and other unaffiliated clearing brokers selected by the General Partner. The General Partner may retain additional or substitute clearing brokers in the future.
 
ADMIS is a registered futures commission merchant and is a member of the NFA. Its main office is located at 141 W. Jackson Blvd., Suite 1600A, Chicago, IL 60604.
 
NUSA is a registered futures commission merchant and is a member of the NFA.  Its main office is located at 550 West Jackson, Suite 500, Chicago, IL 60661.
 
Bridgeton Global Investor Services, Inc. (“Bridgeton Global”) is the Partnership's introducing broker and will introduce the Partnership's account to the clearing brokers in exchange for receiving a portion of the brokerage commissions charged by the clearing brokers. Bridgeton Global is an affiliate of the General Partner.  Each of ADMIS and NUSA acts only as clearing broker for the Partnership and as such is paid commissions for executing and clearing trades on behalf of the Partnership. Neither ADMIS nor NUSA will act in any supervisory capacity with respect to the General Partner or participate in the management of the General Partner or the Partnership.
 
The assets of the Partnership are deposited with ADMIS and NUSA in trading accounts established by the Partnership for the Advisor and are used by the Partnership as margin to engage in trading. Such assets are held in either an interest-bearing bank account or in securities approved by the CFTC for investment of customer funds. The clearing brokers through clearing futures trades for its customers, including the Partnership, could expose the Partnership to credit risk. The clearing brokers attempt to mitigate this risk relating to futures contracts in regulated commodities by maintaining funds deposited by customers in separate bank accounts, which are designated as segregated customers' accounts. In addition, the clearing brokers have set aside funds deposited by customers relating to foreign futures and options in separate bank accounts, which are designated as customer secured accounts. Lastly, the clearing brokers are subject to the CFTC's Net Capital Rule, which requires the clearing brokers to maintain minimum net capital of at least 4% of the segregated customer funds as defined by the CEA and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
The clearing brokers must comply with the settlement procedures established by the clearinghouse of each exchange where the clearing broker is a clearing member. The rules of exchange vary, but at a minimum the exchange guarantees performance on every contract to each of its clearing members. Thus, once a trade between two clearing members is matched by the exchange, the rights and obligations under the futures or options contract do not run between the original buyer and seller, but between the clearing member and the seller of the contract, and between the clearing member and the buyer. The clearinghouse sets a settlement price for settling all accounts between clearing members for each contract month. Unliquidated positions on outstanding contracts are marked to market at least once a day via midday and/or morning calls to determine any additional margin requirements. In general, a clearinghouse is backed by the membership and will act in the event of non-performance by one of its members or one of the member's customers, the intent of which is to significantly reduce credit risk. If a clearing broker is not a member of an exchange clearinghouse, it will comply with the settlement procedures established with the actual carrying brokers and will operate through them. Settlement of calls on such contracts may take an extra day on U.S. exchanges or two extra days on non-U.S. exchanges. Additional margin requirements are wire-transferred by the clearing brokers to the appropriate clearinghouse. As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership had no material credit risk exposure to a counterparty that is a foreign commodities exchange.
 
Fees and Expenses
 
The General Partner
 
Management Fee
 
The Partnership pays the General Partner a quarterly management fee in an amount equal to 1% annually of the net asset value of the Partnership as of the first business day of each calendar quarter before deducting (i) accrued ordinary legal, accounting and auditing fees and (ii) any incentive allocations payable to the General Partner. The General Partner may pay a portion of its management fee or incentive allocation to finders (appropriately registered marketing and selling agents) the General Partner may engage from time to time. The General Partner may waive all or any portion of the management fee with respect to any Limited Partner.
 
Incentive Allocation
 
The General Partner will also receive as of the end of each quarter an incentive allocation of 20% of New Profits (as defined below), if any. If any incentive allocation is made to the General Partner, it will retain the amount allocated regardless of any subsequent decline in account value, but will not be eligible to receive subsequent incentive allocations until the Partnership has recouped its losses and earned New Profits. The General Partner will pay three-fourths of any incentive allocation it receives to WIC, and the General Partner may distribute a portion of its share of the incentive allocation to properly registered selling agents as compensation for their ongoing services to the Partnership. The General Partner may waive all or any portion of the incentive allocation with respect to any Limited Partner.
 
“New Profits” for the purpose of calculating the General Partner's incentive allocation only, is defined as the excess (if any) of (A) the net asset value of the Partnership as of the last day of any calendar quarter (before deduction of incentive allocations made or accrued for such quarter), over (B) the net asset value of the Partnership as of the last day of the most recent quarter for which an incentive allocation was paid or payable (after deduction of such incentive allocation). In computing New Profits, the difference between (A) and (B) above shall be (i) increased by the amount of any distributions or redemptions paid or accrued by the Partnership as of or subsequent to the date in (B) through the date in (A), (ii) adjusted (either decreased or increased, as the case may be) to reflect the amount of any additional allocations or negative reallocations of Partnership assets from the date in (B) to the last day of the quarter as of which the current incentive allocation calculation is made, and (iii) increased by the amount of any losses attributable to redemptions.
 
Brokerage Commission
 
The Partnership pays to the General Partner a flat-rate monthly brokerage commission of up to approximately 0.583% of the net asset value of the Investor Class limited partnership interests of the Partnership as of the beginning of each month (a 7.00% annual rate). The General Partner will pay from this amount up to 3% to properly registered selling agents as compensation for their ongoing services to the Partnership. Institutional Class interests will pay the General Partner a monthly flat-rate brokerage commission of 0.333% of the net asset value of such interests as of the beginning of each month (a 4.00% annual rate). In addition to payments to properly registered selling agents, the General Partner will pay from the brokerage commission all floor brokerage, exchange, clearing and NFA fees with respect to the Partnership's trading, but the Partnership will pay all other execution costs, including give-up charges and service fees assessed by certain forward dealing desks. The General Partner will pay from its own funds any futures brokerage commission and fees (except for certain execution costs as noted above) incurred by the Partnership in excess of the flat monthly rate it receives from the Partnership. To the extent that the General Partner pays less than 3% to a selling agent with respect to any limited partnership interests sold by such selling agent, the brokerage commission charged with respect to those limited partnership interests will be reduced accordingly. To the extent different brokerage commissions are charged because of the varying payments to selling agents, a new series for the Class will be established. The flat-rate brokerage commission to the General Partner is calculated after reduction for any brokerage commissions due at the end of the immediately preceding month, any redemptions or distributions as of such immediately preceding month-end, and any accrued incentive allocations as of such immediately preceding month-end, and after including the interest credits for such immediately preceding month-end and any additions as of the beginning of the month for which the flat-rate brokerage commission is being calculated. The General Partner may pay a portion of the brokerage commission to finders the General Partner may engage from time to time.
 
Organizational and Initial Offering Costs
 
The predecessor General Partner paid the organizational and initial offering expenses of the Partnership which amounted to $23,910. These costs include legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, escrow charges, filing and registration costs. The Partnership has reimbursed the predecessor General Partner for these expenses.
 
The Advisor
 
Management Fee
 
The Partnership will pay to WIC a quarterly management fee of 0.50% (2% per year) of the Trading Level (as defined below) for each month during such quarter.
 
The Partnership's “Trading Level” shall mean the Partnership's Net Asset allocated to WIC times the leverage to be employed by WIC from time to time upon the direction of the General Partner. Currently, this leverage ratio is 1.0, however, from the start of the Partnership until February 28, 2011, it was 1.2.  The Partnership's “Net Assets” shall mean the total assets of the Partnership including all cash and cash equivalents (valued at cost), accrued interest and the fair value of all open commodity positions and other assets maintained by the Partnership, less all liabilities and reserves of the Partnership, including accrued management fees and incentive allocations, determined in accordance with the principles specified in the Limited Partnership Agreement and, where no principle is specified, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value of a commodity futures contract or option on a commodity futures contract shall mean the most recent available closing quotation on the exchange through which the particular commodity futures contract or option on a commodity futures contract is traded by the Partnership; the fair value of a forward contract is determined by the dealer with which the Partnership has traded the contract. If, however, a contract cannot be liquidated on the day with respect to which the cumulative profits or losses on the account are being determined, because of the operation of daily limits or other rules of the commodity exchange upon which the contract is traded or otherwise, the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract can be liquidated is the basis for determining the liquidating value of such contract for such day.
 
Commodity Brokers
 
The General Partner will pay from the flat brokerage commission the futures brokerage commissions (including NFA assessments and exchange fees) for the Partnership's trading. The General Partner believes that the brokerage rates to be paid will generally be competitive with those charged by other commodity brokers; however, other commodity brokerage firms might offer lower rates to other accounts.
 
Selling Agents
 
The General Partner shall pay selling agents from the flat-rate brokerage commission 3% of the net asset value of the limited partnership interests sold by such selling agent. Selling agents may also receive a portion of the commodity brokerage commission from the Partnership's commodity brokers.
 
Dealers
 
Dealers will not charge the Partnership commissions, but are compensated from the bid/offer spread that is quoted in dealing with the Partnership. A customary mark-up is included in the price of the forward or spot contact or the premium in the case of an option contact.
 
Others
 
The General Partner will pay expenses of the continuing offering (consisting primarily of printing fees), estimated to be approximately $10,000 per year. The Partnership will pay ordinary operating expenses actually incurred by the Partnership, including periodic legal, accounting, and auditing fees, and other administrative expenses and fees associated with the operation of the Partnership, which are estimated to be approximately $330,000 per year (excluding any extraordinary expenses).
 
Trading For Own Account
 
The General Partner, its principal and their affiliates currently do not, but may in the future, trade Commodity Interests for their own accounts. Limited Partners will not be permitted to inspect the records of such trades. The Advisor, its principals and their affiliates also may trade Commodity Interests for their own accounts. The records and the results of the proprietary trading by the Advisor and its principals will not be made available for inspection by the Limited Partners because of their confidential nature.
 
Neither the Partnership nor the General Partner has any employees.  Fund administration, calculation of the net asset value and management information systems are provided by NAV Consulting, Inc., and marketing and client service are provided by Bridgeton Global.
 
Conflicts of Interest
 
Relationship of the General Partner to Commodity Brokers
 
Although the General Partner is not affiliated with a commodity broker, the General Partner may have a conflict of interest in selecting brokers because of continuing business dealings with certain brokers. For example, affiliates of certain brokers may serve as selling agents for the Partnership. The General Partner and its principal or their affiliates may have commodity accounts at the same brokerage firms as the Partnership, and, because of the amount traded through the brokerage firms, may pay lower commissions than the Partnership. The General Partner intends to review brokerage arrangements on a periodic basis to assure that the Partnership secures favorable execution of brokerage transactions and to assure that the commissions paid are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and other services provided.
 
Affiliation of the General Partner with Bridgeton Global
 
The General Partner is affiliated with Bridgeton Global, the introducing broker for the Partnership.  Accordingly, the General Partner may have a conflict of interest between doing what the General Partner believes will be most advantageous to the Partnership and retaining Bridgeton Global as an introducing broker for the Partnership and earning fees for Bridgeton Global.
 
General Partner's Selection of Trading Advisors and Investment Programs
 
Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has the authority to engage independent commodity trading advisors or affiliated commodity trading advisors to make trading decisions for the Partnership. Accordingly, the General Partner may have a conflict of interest between choosing the trading programs that the General Partner believes will be most advantageous to the Partnership and seeing that WIC's trading programs are used on behalf of the Partnership and earning fees therefrom. The General Partner also may be less likely to terminate the use of WIC's trading programs. Furthermore, the General Partner may engage the services of WIC as a commodity trading advisor for other product offerings.
 
Because the General Partner is responsible for paying the futures brokerage commissions and fees of the Partnership from the flat monthly brokerage commission it receives from the Partnership (and will pay from its own funds to the extent such commissions and fees exceed the flat monthly brokerage commission), the General Partner may have a conflict of interest between choosing the investment programs that the General Partner believes will be most advantageous to the Partnership and the investment programs that will result in less brokerage commissions and fees to the Partnership.
 
Management of Other Accounts by the Advisor and the General Partner
 
The Advisor and its affiliates currently manage other accounts. As of December 31, 2010, WIC managed 19 accounts. In addition, the General Partner acts as general partner for another limited partnership, Bridgeton Tactical Advisors Fund, LP (formerly RFMC Tactical Advisors Fund, LP), that trades commodity interests and may compete with the Partnership for positions, and the Advisor, the General Partner and their respective affiliates may act in the future as manager of additional accounts and as general partner for other such limited partnerships. Such accounts and partnerships may hold positions either similar or opposite to the positions taken by the Partnership, and the compensation received by the Advisor or the General Partner from such other accounts and partnerships may differ from the compensation they receive from the Partnership. Such differing compensation arrangements may provide an incentive for the General Partner or WIC to favor one account over another.
 
As the Advisor manages additional accounts, these accounts will increase the level of competition for the same trades made for the Partnership. Further, during the normal course of trading, orders for a client's account may be executed in competition with the orders for other client accounts managed by WIC. Depending on market liquidity and other factors, this possibility could result in client orders being executed at prices that are less favorable than would otherwise be the case. In addition, WIC may combine various strategies to trade proprietary and client accounts. As a result trading decisions generated by different trading strategies and investment programs may vary among accounts, resulting in different positions. Limited partners of the Partnership will not be permitted to inspect the trading records of the General Partner, WIC or their respective principals due to their confidential nature.
 
Trading by Affiliates of the General Partner for Their Own Accounts
 
The trading principals of the General Partner and their families and affiliates also may trade for their own accounts. Results of such trading will not be made available to Limited Partners because of the confidential nature of such records. In addition, the General Partner, its trading principals or their affiliates may serve as the general partner or sponsor for other investment vehicles engaged in the trading of instruments and contracts similar to those traded by the Partnership. Such vehicles may hold positions either similar or opposite to the positions taken by the Partnership, and the compensation received by the General Partner, its principal or their affiliates from such other vehicles may differ from the compensation received from the Partnership.
 
Trading by the Advisor and Affiliates of the Advisor for Their Own Accounts
 
Since WIC and its principals have traded, and may continue to trade commodity interests for their own accounts, it is possible that orders for their accounts may be entered in advance of or opposite to orders for client accounts pursuant to, for instance, a neutral order allocation system, a different trading strategy, or a different risk level of trading. However, any such proprietary trading is subject to the duty of WIC to exercise good faith and fairness in all matters affecting client accounts. Further, during the normal course of trading, orders for the client's account may be executed in competition with the orders for proprietary and other client accounts managed by WIC. Depending on market liquidity and other factors, this possibility could result in client orders being executed at prices that are less favorable than would otherwise be the case. In addition, WIC may combine various strategies to trade proprietary and client accounts. As a result trading decisions generated by different trading strategies and investment programs may vary among accounts, resulting in different positions. Limited partners of the Partnership will not be permitted to inspect the trading records of the General Partner, WIC or their respective principals due to their confidential nature.
 
Trading by Affiliates of Clearing Brokers for Their Own Accounts
 
It is possible that certain officers, directors and employees of the Partnership's clearing brokers and their families may from time to time trade commodity futures contracts and other Commodity Interests for their own accounts, including some of which may be managed by the Advisor. In the event such individuals do trade for their own accounts, investors will not be permitted to inspect such trading records. It is possible that such persons may take positions either similar or opposite to positions taken by the Partnership and that the Partnership and such persons may from time to time be competing for either similar or opposite positions in the commodity futures markets. In certain instances, the clearing brokers may have orders for trades from the Partnership and orders from its own employees. The clearing brokers might be deemed to have a conflict of interest between the sequence in which such orders will be transmitted to the trading floor. Depending on market liquidity and other factors, these conflicts could result in the Partnership's orders being executed at prices that are less favorable than would otherwise be the case.
 
The Advisor appears on the approved list of commodity trading advisors for many futures commission merchants. Appearance on an approved list means that futures commission merchants’ representatives may recommend the Advisor as a trading advisor to its clients. Inclusion on such an approved list may create a conflict of interest for a trading advisor between its duty to trade clients’ accounts in the best interest of clients and its financial interest in maintaining a position on a futures commission merchant’s approved list, which could be contingent upon generation of adequate commission income from those accounts managed by the advisor. The Advisor’s policy, however, is to trade all comparable accounts in the same manner regardless of the method by which the account was obtained.
 
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of the General Partner
 
The exculpatory provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement provide that the General Partner and its affiliates will not be liable to the Partnership or the limited partners unless the General Partner (or its affiliate) has (i) violated federal or state securities laws, (ii) engaged in conduct which amounts to intentional or criminal wrongdoing or gross negligence or willful misconduct, (iii) breached its fiduciary duty, or (iv) not acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that it was acting in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership. In no event shall the General Partner be liable to the Partnership or to any of the limited partners for punitive or consequential damages. A limited partner can only bring a claim against the General Partner and its assets, and not against any affiliate of the General Partner. In addition, the Partnership has agreed to indemnify the General Partner and its affiliates from and against any loss or expense (including legal fees and expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defense of any claims, including claims by limited partners) resulting from actions or omissions relating to the Partnership, provided that such actions or omissions were for a purpose reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership and were not (i) in violation of federal or state securities laws, (ii) a result of intentional or criminal wrongdoing or gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) in violation of the General Partner's fiduciary obligations to the Partnership. Further, each limited partner waives any claim it may have at any time that arises out of the General Partner's engagement of an affiliate to provide services to the Partnership, and the Partnership agrees to indemnify the General Partner in connection with any claim against the General Partner relating to its engagement of affiliates to provide services to the Partnership. The foregoing rights to indemnification and payment of legal fees and expenses shall not be affected by the termination of the Partnership or the withdrawal, dissolution or insolvency of the General Partner. These exculpation and indemnification provisions may not be enforceable with respect to certain statutory liabilities, such as liabilities resulting from violations of federal securities laws.
 
The responsibility of a general partner to limited partners is a rapidly developing and changing area of the law, and limited partners who have questions concerning the responsibilities of the General Partner should consult their counsel. Limited partners should be aware, however, of the broad authority given to the General Partner under the Limited Partnership Agreement, including the authority of the General Partner to enter into trading advisory agreements under the Limited Partnership Agreement, the absence of judicial decisions providing standards defining excessive trading and the exculpatory provisions in the Limited Partnership Agreement.

PART II

 
There currently is no established public trading market for the Limited Partnership Units. As of December 31, 2010, 37,595.37 Partnership Units were held by 526 Limited Partners and the General Partner.
 
All of the Limited Partnership Units are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or sold in accordance with an exemption therefrom, such as Rule 144. The Partnership has no plans to register any of the Limited Partnership Units for resale. In addition, the Partnership Agreement contains certain restrictions on the transfer of Limited Partnership Units.
 
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has the sole discretion to determine whether distributions (other than on redemption of Limited Partnership Units), if any, will be made to partners. The Partnership has never paid any distributions and does not anticipate paying any distributions to partners in the foreseeable future.
 
From January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 4,170.42 Partnership Units were subscribed for the aggregate net subscription amount of $4,181,122. Details of the subscriptions of these Partnership Units are as follows:

General
 
The Partnership was formed on March 19, 2007 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership commenced trading operations as of August 1, 2007 with partners' capital of $4,071,453. The success of the Partnership is dependent upon the ability of its advisor to generate trading profits through the speculative trading of Commodity Interests sufficient to produce capital payments after payment of all fees and expenses. The Partnership's future operating results will depend in large part upon the Commodity Interests markets in general, the performance of the Advisor, changes in interests rates and the amount of subscriptions and redemptions. Because of the nature of these factors and their interaction, past performance is not indicative of future results and it is impossible to predict future operating results, financial position and cash flows of the Partnership.
 
The Partnership incurs substantial charges from the payment of brokerage commissions to the General Partner, payment of management fees to the General Partner and the Advisor, payment of incentive allocation to the General Partner in certain circumstances and administrative expenses.
 
The Partnership is required to make substantial trading profits to avoid depleting and exhausting its assets from the payment of such fees and expenses. At current interest rate levels,  the Partnership is expected to earn an effective annual income of  0.85% of net assets.  Accordingly, the Investor Class would need to generate trading income of 9.96% over a year to break even and the Institutional Class would need to generate trading income of 6.96% over a year to break even. The markets in which the Commodity Interests trade are constantly changing in character and in degree of volatility. The General Partner continues to evaluate and analyze from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives the ability of the Advisor to trade effectively on the Partnership's behalf in the context of the current market environment. The General Partner seeks to limit market and credit risks by monitoring daily income and margin levels. The General Partner also relies upon the risk management strategies inherent in the Advisor's trading program. In the future, the General Partner may utilize additional strategies or appoint additional advisors to trade on behalf of the Partnership.
 
Currently the assets of the Partnership are allocated for trading in Commodity Interests entirely to the Global Directional Portfolio, a proprietary quantitative trading strategy developed and operated by WIC.
 
Limited partnership interests pay to the General Partner a flat-rate monthly brokerage commission of up to approximately 0.583% of the net asset value of the Partnership as of the beginning of each month (a 7.0% annual rate). The General Partner will pay up to 3.0 percent from this amount to properly registered selling agents as their compensation, and to the extent the amount is less than 3% the brokerage fee with respect to such limited partnership interests will be reduced accordingly. The General Partner pays from this amount all floor brokerage, exchange, clearing and NFA fees with respect to the Partnership's trading, but the Partnership will pay all other execution costs, including give-up charges and service fees assessed by certain forward dealing desks. The flat-rate monthly commission is common among programs such as the Partnership. As of December 31, 2010, ADMIS and NUSA are the clearing brokers for the Partnership.
 
Result of Operations
 
Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
As of December 31, 2010, total partners' capital (net asset value) of the Partnership was $44,087,080 compared to its net asset value of $42,934,271 at December 31, 2009. The Partnership's 2010 subscriptions and redemptions totaled $4,181,122 and $8,787,986 respectively, compared to $19,579,953 and $5,641,542 respectively, in 2009.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership had net realized and unrealized trading profits of $10,186,034 and $34,020 in interest income. For that same period, the Partnership had expenses comprised of $2,745,921 in brokerage commissions including clearing and exchange fees, $1,383,669 in management fees, $144,152 in professional fees, and $186,639 in accounting, administrative fees and other expenses. The Partnership recorded a net gain of $5,759,673 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Interest income decreased to $34,020 from $76,326 in 2009 primarily due to declining interest rates through 2010.  Brokerage commissions decreased to $2,745,921 from $2,970,353 in 2009.  Brokerage commissions are charged as a percentage of net assets and are lower due to a lower average net asset value in 2010 as compared to 2009.  Management fees are charged as a percentage of the net assets and decreased to $1,383,669 from $1,455,367 in 2009 due to a lower number of subscriptions and higher redemptions in 2010 as compared to 2009.  Professional fees decreased to $144,152 from $247,764 in 2009 as a result of a decrease in professional fees. Accounting, administrative fees and other expenses decreased to $186,639 from $187,492 in 2009 as a result of a decrease in administrative and accounting fees and other expenses.

Liquidity
 
There currently is no established public trading market for the limited partnership interests and the Partnership has no plans to register any of the limited partnership interests for resale. In addition, the Limited Partnership Agreement contains certain restrictions on the transfer of limited partnership interests. As of the last day of any month, a limited partner may redeem all of its limited partnership interests on 10 days' prior written notice to the General Partner for an amount equal to the balance of such limited partner's book capital account as of the last day of any month.
 
In general, the Advisor will trade only those Commodity Interests that have sufficient liquidity to enable it to enter and close out positions without causing major price movements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, most United States commodity exchanges limit the amount by which certain commodities may move during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” Pursuant to such regulations, no trading may be executed on any given day at prices beyond daily limits. The price of a futures contract occasionally has moved the daily limit for several consecutive days, with little or no trading, thereby effectively preventing a party from liquidating his position. While the occurrence of such an event may reduce or eliminate the liquidity of a particular market, it will not eliminate losses and may in fact substantially increase losses because of its inability to liquidate unfavorable positions. In addition, if there is little or no trading in a particular futures or forward contract that the Partnership is trading, whether such illiquidity is caused by any of the above reason or otherwise, the Partnership may be unable to liquidate its position prior to its expiration date, thereby requiring the Partnership to make or take delivery of the underlying interests of the commodity investment.
 
Capital Resources
 
The Partnership's capital resources are dependent upon three factors: (1) the trading profit or loss generated by its advisor (including interest income); (2) the money invested or redeemed by the Limited Partners; and (3) capital invested or redeemed by the General Partner. The General Partner has agreed to maintain at least $1,000 in its General Partner capital account, but may invest more than that amount. All capital contributions by the General Partner to the General Partner capital account balance are evidenced by units of general partnership interest, each of which shall have an initial value equal to the net asset value per unit at the time of such contribution. The General Partner in its sole discretion, may withdraw any excess above its required capital contribution of $1,000 without notice to the Limited Partners. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may also contribute any greater amount to the Partnership, for which it shall receive additional units of general partnership interest at the then-current net asset value.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Partnership's financial statements.  The Partnership's significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
 
 
The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts (including agricultural and non-agricultural commodities, currencies and financial instruments), options on commodities or commodity futures contracts, and forward contracts. The risk of market sensitive instruments is integral to the Partnership's primary business activities.
 
The futures interests traded by the Partnership involve varying degrees of related market risk. Such market risk is often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, and/or market values of financial instruments and commodities. Fluctuations in related market risk based upon the aforementioned factors result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership's open positions, and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Partnership accounts for open positions on the basis of mark-to-market accounting principles. As such, any gain or loss in the fair value of the Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership's earnings, whether realized or unrealized.
 
The Partnership's total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including the diversification effects among the Partnership's existing open positions, the volatility present within the markets and the liquidity of the markets. At varying times, each of these factors may act to exacerbate or mute the market risk associated with the Partnership. It is anticipated that the following will be the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership for the year 2010, by market sector:
 
Interest Rate: Interest rate risk is a significant market exposure of the Partnership. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact the Partnership's profitability. The Partnership's primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries. The General Partner anticipates that G-7 interest rates will remain the primary market exposure of the Partnership for the foreseeable future.
 
Currency: The Partnership's currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily in the following countries: Germany, England, Japan, France, Switzerland, Australia, Canada and United States. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The General Partner does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Partnership's currency sector will change significantly in the future.
 
Commodity: The Partnership's primary metals market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of gold, silver and copper. The Partnership also has commodity exposures in the price of soft commodities, which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions. The General Partner anticipates that the Advisor will maintain an emphasis in the commodities described above. Additionally, the Partnership had exposure to energies (gas, oil) as of December 31, 2010, and it is anticipated that positions in this sector will continue to be evaluated on an ongoing basis.
 
The Partnership measures its market risk, related to its holdings of commodity interests based on changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates, and commodity prices utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis estimates the potential change in fair values, cash flows and earnings based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in interest, currency and commodity prices. The Partnership used December 31, 2010 market rates and prices on its instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis has been prepared separately for each of the Partnership's market risk exposures (interest rate, currency rate, and commodity price) instruments.
 
The estimates are based on the market risk sensitive portfolios described in the preceding paragraph above. The potential loss in earnings is based on an immediate change in:
 
 
The prices of the Partnership's interest rate positions resulting from a 10% change in interest rates.
 
 
The U.S. dollar equivalent balances of the Partnership's currency exposures due to a 10% shift in currency exchange rates.
 
 
The market value of the Partnership's commodity instruments due to a 10% change in the price of the instruments.
 

The Partnership has determined that the impact of a 10% change in market rates and prices on its fair values, cash flows and earnings would not be material. The Partnership has elected to disclose the potential loss to earnings of its commodity price, interest rate and currency exchange rate sensitivity positions as of December 31, 2010.
 
The potential loss in earnings for each market risk exposure as of December 31, 2010 was:
 
 
 Currency exchange rate risk
  $ 126,773  
 
 Commodity price risk
  $ 749,978  
 
 Interest rate risk
  $ 370,040  
 
 
Financial statements meeting the requirements of Regulation S-X appear in Part IV of this report.
 
A smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the 1934 Act, is not required to provide the supplementary data under this item.
 
 
None
 
 
The Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal of the General Partner (who serves as the principal executive officer and financial officer of the Partnership), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings. The principal of the General Partner (who serves as the principal executive officer and financial officer of the Partnership) evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which are designed to ensure that the Partnership records, processes, summarizes and reports in a timely and effective manner the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Based upon that evaluation, the General Partner has concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010 in timely alerting the General Partner to material information related to the Partnership that is required to be included in the Partnerships periodic filings with the SEC.
 
There were no changes in the Partnership's internal controls during the fourth quarter of 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.
 
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
The management of the General Partner (which is the principal of the General Partner) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting by the Partnership. The General Partner's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Partnership's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the Partnership; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Partnership's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. 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 of the General Partner assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, the General Partner has concluded that the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management of the General Partner used the framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
 
Management's annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Partnership's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management's report in this annual report.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Partnership 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 Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bridgeton Global Directional Fund, LP as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and the changes in its net asset value for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
_______________
 
 
 
1.
PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION
 
 
Bridgeton Global Directional Fund, LP (formerly RFMC Global Directional Fund, LP) (“the Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership, was organized on March 19, 2007 and commenced trading operations on August 1, 2007.  The Partnership’s business is to trade, buy, sell or otherwise acquire, hold, or dispose of commodity futures contracts, options on physical commodities and on commodity futures contracts, forward contracts, and instruments that may be the subject of a futures contract, including equities, indices, and sectors (“Commodity Interests”), and any rights pertaining thereto and to engage in all activities incident thereto.  The Partnership may also invest in entities (including without limitation other partnerships, separate managed accounts, exchange traded funds or other types of funds) that primarily trade in exchange trades securities, options on exchange traded securities, exchange traded funds, or Commodity Interests.
 
 
From the Partnership’s start until February 1, 2011, Ruvane Fund Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Ruvane”, or the “General Partner” for periods prior to March 1, 2011), was the sole general partner of the Partnership.  From that date until March 1, 2010, Bridgeton Fund Management, LLC (“Bridgeton”, or the “General Partner” for periods on or after March 1, 2011) was a co-general partner of the Partnership with Ruvane.  Effective March 1, 2011, Bridgeton is the sole general partner of the Partnership.  The General Partner of the Partnership is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator and a Commodity Trading Advisor with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).  The General Partner is required by the Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended and restated, (the “Agreement”) to contribute $1,000 to the Partnership.
 
 
In accordance with the Agreement, the Partnership offers limited partnership interests through a private offering pursuant to Regulation D as adopted under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Partnership will offer limited partnership interests up to an aggregate of $100,000,000; provided that the General Partner may increase the amount of interests that will be offered in increments of $10,000,000, after notice to the limited partners.
 
 
The Partnership offers two classes of limited partnership interests; the Institutional Class and the Investor Class. Commission charges, General Partner management fees and incentive allocations to the General Partner will differ between Classes and/or Series, but in all other respects the Institutional Class interests and the Investor Class interests will be identical. The Institutional Class and Investor Class interests will also be traded pursuant to the same trading program and at the same Trading Level (as defined in the Confidential Offering Memorandum).
 
 
The General Partner has selected Welton Investment Corporation (the “Advisor”) as the Partnership’s trading advisor.  All of the Partnership’s assets will initially be traded pursuant to the Advisor’s Global Directional Portfolio, which follows a proprietary quantitative trading strategy.  The General Partner, in the future, may allocate the Partnership’s assets to other trading strategies and investment programs.
 
 
The Partnership shall end upon the withdrawal, insolvency or dissolution of the General Partner or a decline of greater than fifty percent of the net assets of the Partnership as defined in the Agreement, or the occurrence of any event which shall make it unlawful for the existence of the Partnership to be continued.
 
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
A.
Method of Reporting
 
   
The Partnership’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income (loss) and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
   
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), referred to as ASC or the Codification, is the single source of U.S. GAAP for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
 
   
The Partnership has elected not to provide a statement of cash flows as permitted under ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows.
 
 
B.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
   
The Partnership has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired.  Money market mutual funds, which are included in cash equivalents, are classified as Level 1 fair value estimates (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets) under the fair value hierarchy provisions as described in ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Partnership had investments in money market mutual funds of $21,243,750 and $32,908,933, respectively.  Interest received on cash deposits and dividends received from money market mutual funds is included as interest income and recognized on an accrual basis.
 
 
C.
Due from Brokers
 
   
Due from brokers represents deposits required to meet margin requirements and excess funds not required for margin.  Due from brokers at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consisted of cash on deposit with the brokers of $18,208,550 and $9,186,463, respectively.  The Partnership is subject to credit risk to the extent any broker with whom the Partnership conducts business is unable to deliver cash balances or securities, or clear securities transactions on the Partnership’s behalf.  The General Partner monitors the financial condition of the brokers with which the Partnership conducts business and believes that the likelihood of loss under the aforementioned circumstances is remote.
 
 
D.
Investments in Commodity Futures Contracts
 
   
Investments in commodity futures contracts are recorded on the trade date and open contracts are stated in the financial statements at their fair value on the last business day of the reporting period, based on quoted market prices.  Accordingly, such contracts are classified as Level 1 fair value estimates under the fair value hierarchy as described within ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated, on a first-in-first-out basis.  Realized gains are netted with realized losses for financial reporting purposes and shown under the caption “Net realized gains (losses) on closed positions” in the  Statements of Income (Loss) and General Partner Incentive Allocation.
 
   
As each broker has the individual right of offset, the Partnership presents the aggregate net unrealized gains with such brokers as “Net unrealized gains on open positions” and the aggregate net unrealized losses with such brokers as “Net unrealized losses on open positions” in the Statements of Financial Condition.  The net unrealized gains on open positions from one broker are not offset against net unrealized losses on open positions from another broker in the Statements of Financial Condition.  The unrealized gains or losses on open contracts is the difference between contract trade price and quoted market price.
 
   
Any change in unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Income (Loss) and General Partner Incentive Allocation under the caption “Change in net unrealized gains (losses) on open positions.”
 
 
E.
Brokerage Commissions
 
   
Investor Class interests will pay the General Partner a monthly flat-rate brokerage commission of up to approximately 0.583% of the net asset value of such interests as of the beginning of each month (an annual rate of 7.00%).  The General Partner will pay from this amount up to 3% per annum to properly registered selling agents as compensation for their ongoing services to the Partnership.  To the extent the General Partner pays less than 3% to a selling agent with respect to any limited partnership interests sold by such selling agent, the brokerage commission charged with respect to those limited partnership interests will be reduced accordingly.  A separate series of Investor Class interests will be established for differing brokerage commission rates charged.  During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, all Investor Class interests were charged a flat rate brokerage commission equal to an annual rate of 7.00%.
 
   
Institutional Class interests pay the General Partner a monthly flat-rate brokerage commission of 0.333% of the net asset value of such interests as of the beginning of each month (a 4.00% annual rate).
 
   
In addition to any applicable selling agent fees, the General Partner will also pay from its brokerage commission all floor brokerage, exchange, clearing and NFA fees with respect to the Partnership’s trading, but the Partnership will pay all other execution costs, including give-up charges and service fees assessed by certain forward dealing desks.  For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 such execution costs totaled $13,316 and $785, respectively.
 
   
Commissions and execution costs charged to each Class or Series were as follows:

F.
Allocation of Income (Loss)
 
   
Net realized and unrealized trading profits and losses, interest income and other operating income and expenses, prior to flat-rate brokerage commissions, management fees and incentive allocations, are allocated to the partners monthly in proportion to their capital account balances, as defined in the Agreement.  Each partner is then charged its applicable Class and/or Series flat-rate brokerage commission, management fees and incentive allocations.
 
 
G.
Incentive Allocation
 
   
The General Partner is entitled to a quarterly incentive allocation equal to 20% of New Profits (as defined in the Confidential Offering Memorandum), if any.  The term “New Profits” for the purpose of calculating the General Partner's incentive allocation only, is defined as the excess (if any) of (A) the net asset value of the Partnership as of the last day of any calendar quarter (before deduction of incentive allocations made or accrued for such quarter), over (B) the net asset value of the Partnership as of the last day of the most recent quarter for which an incentive allocation was paid or payable (after deduction of such incentive allocation).  In computing New Profits, the difference between (A) and (B) above shall be (i) increased by the amount of any distributions or redemptions paid or accrued by the Partnership as of or subsequent to the date in (B) through the date in (A), (ii) adjusted (either decreased or increased, as the case may be) to reflect the amount of any additional allocations or negative reallocations of Partnership assets from the date in (B) to the last day of the quarter as of which the current incentive allocation calculation is made, and (iii) increased by the amount of any losses attributable to redemptions.  For the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the General Partner earned no incentive allocations.
 
   
The General Partner will pay three-fourths of incentive allocations it receives, if any, to the Advisor, and the General Partner may distribute a portion of its share of the incentive allocation to properly registered selling agents as compensation for their ongoing services to the Partnership.
 
 
H.
Management Fees
 
   
Investor Class and Institutional Class – Series 2 interests pay the General Partner a quarterly management fee equal to ¼ of 1% (1% annually) of the net assets of the Partnership (as defined in the Agreement) as of the beginning of each calendar quarter before deducting accrued ordinary legal, accounting and auditing fees and before any incentive allocation to the General Partner.  Institutional Class Series 1 and Series 3 interests are not assessed a management fee by the General Partner.  Management fees earned by the General Partner were as follows:

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no management fees were due to the General Partner.
 
   
In addition to the management fee paid to the General Partner, the Advisor also assesses each Class and Series of interests a management fee equal to 1/12 of 2% (2% per year) of the month-end Trading Level for each month during such quarter.  Trading Level shall mean the Partnership’s net assets allocated to the Advisor times the leverage to be employed by the Advisor from time to time upon the discretion of the General Partner.  The leverage ratio is approximately 1.2 times the net assets of the Partnership.  As such, the Advisor’s management fee will approximate 2.4% per annum of the Partnership’s net assets.  The management fees earned by the Advisor were as follows:

I.
Administrative Expenses
 
   
The Partnership pays all legal, accounting, auditing, and other administrative and operating expenses and fees associated with the operation of the Partnership.  The General Partner pays the continuous offering costs of the Partnership.
 
 
J.
Income Taxes
 
   
No provision for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying financial statements as each partner is individually liable for taxes, if any, on his or her share of the Partnership’s profits.
 
   
The Partnership applies the provisions of Codification Topics 740, Income Taxes; and 835, Interest, which prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements.  This accounting standard requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.  Tax positions with respect to tax at the Partnership level not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as an expense in the current year.  The Partnership has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties, if any, as interest expense.  The General Partner has concluded there is no tax expense or interest expense related to uncertainties in income tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
   
The Partnership files U.S. federal and state tax returns.  The 2007 through 2010 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state authorities.
 
 
K.
Subscriptions
 
 
   
Partnership units may be purchased on the first day of each month at the net asset value per unit determined on the last business day of the previous month.  Partners’ contributions received in advance for subscriptions are recorded as “Prepaid subscriptions” in the Statements of Financial Condition.
 
 
 
L.
Redemptions
 
 
   
Limited partners may redeem some or all of their units at net asset value per unit as of the last business day of each month with at least ten days written notice to the General Partner.
 
 
 
M.
Foreign Currency Transactions
 
 
   
The Partnership’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the Statements of Financial Condition. Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported as a component of “Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Closed Positions” in the Statements of Income (Loss) and General Partner Incentive Allocation and totaled $27,595 and $116,784 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 
 
N.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
 
 
   
On January 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), entitled Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  ASU 2010-06 amends the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification to add new to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements.  It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The application of ASU 2010-06 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, which are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2.  The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.
 
 
 
O.
Indemnifications
 
 
   
The Partnership has entered into agreements which provide for the indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of their individual obligations under such agreements, except for gross negligence or bad faith.  The Partnership has had no prior claims or payments pursuant to these agreements.  The Partnership’s individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Partnership that have not yet occurred. However, based on previous experience, the Partnership expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
 
3.
FAIR VALUE
 
 
 
Fair value of an investment is the amount that would be received to sell the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price).
 
 
 
The fair value hierarchy, as more fully described in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value.  Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment.  Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
 
 
 
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
 
 
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.  The type of investments included in Level 1 are publicly traded investments.  As required by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Partnership does not adjust the quoted price for these investments even in situations where the Partnership holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
 
 
 
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.  Investments which are generally included in this category are investments valued using market data.
 
 
 
Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.  Fair value for these investments are determined using valuation methodologies that consider a range of factors, including but not limited to the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment.  The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment.  Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed.  Investments that are included in this category generally are privately held debt and equity securities.
 
 
 
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The General Partner’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.  The Partnership recognizes transfers, if any, between fair value hierarchy levels at the beginning of the reporting period.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
 
 
The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts in currencies, interest rates, stock indices and a wide range of commodities, including energy and metals (collectively, “derivatives”) for the purpose of achieving capital appreciation.  Since the derivatives held or sold by the Partnership are for speculative trading purposes, the derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments as defined in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
 
 
Under provisions of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, entities are required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Statement of Financial Condition.  Investments in futures contracts are reported in the Statements of Financial Condition as either “Net unrealized gains on open positions” or “Net unrealized losses on open positions.”
 
 
The fair value of the Partnership’s derivative contracts is presented below on a gross basis as an asset if in a gain position and a liability if in a loss position.

A.
Market Risk
 
   
Derivative financial instruments involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet market risk whereby changes in the level of volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or market values of the underlying financial instruments or commodities may result in cash settlements in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition.  The Partnership’s exposure to market risk is directly influenced by a number of factors, including the volatility of the markets in which the financial instruments are traded and the liquidity of those markets.
 
 
B.
Fair Value
 
   
The derivative instruments used in the Partnership’s trading activities are reported at fair value with the resulting unrealized gains recorded in the  Statements of Financial Condition and the related trading profits (losses) reflected in “Trading Profits (Losses)” in the  Statements of Income (Loss) and General Partner Incentive Allocation.  Open contracts generally mature within 90 days; as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the latest maturity dates for open contracts are December 2011 and December 2010, respectively.
 
 
C.
Credit Risk
 
   
Futures are contracts for delayed delivery of financial interests in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified financial instrument at a specified price or yield.  Risk arises from changes in the fair value of the underlying instruments.  Credit risk due to counterparty nonperformance associated with these instruments is reflected in the net unrealized gain on open positions, if any, included in the Statements of Financial Condition.  The Partnership’s counterparties are major brokerage firms and banks located in the United States, or their foreign affiliates.
 
   
The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are typically perceived to be less than those associated with over-the-counter transactions, because exchanges typically (but not universally) provide clearing house arrangements in which the collective credit (in some cases limited in amount, in some cases not) of the members of the exchange is pledged to support the financial integrity of the exchange, whereas in over-the-counter transactions, traders must rely solely on the credit of their respective individual counterparties. Margins, which may be subject to loss in the event of a default, are generally required in exchange trading, and counterparties may require margin in the over-the-counter markets.
 
 
D.
Risk Monitoring
 
   
Due to the speculative nature of the Partnership’s derivatives trading, the Partnership is subject to the risk of substantial losses from derivatives trading.  The General Partner actively assesses, manages, and monitors risk exposure on derivatives on a contract basis, a market sector basis, and on an overall basis in accordance with established risk parameters.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
 
From the start of the Partnership through February 28, 2011, the leverage that the Advisor employed on behalf of the Partnership was 1.2, or 20% higher than the actual funds allocated to the Advisor.  Effective March 1, 2011, the Trading Level was reduced to 1.0.
