1. | General: |
AAA Capital Energy Fund L.P. (the
Partnership) is a limited partnership organized on
January 5, 1998 under the partnership laws of the State of
New York to engage, directly or indirectly, in the speculative
trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests, including commodity options and
commodity futures contracts on U.S. exchanges and
certain foreign exchanges. The Partnership, through its investment in the Master (defined herein), may trade commodity
futures and options contracts of any kind. In addition, the
Partnership, through its investment in the Master, may enter into
swap contracts on energy-related
products. During the initial offering period (February 12,
1998 through March 15, 1998), the Partnership sold 49,538
redeemable units of limited partnership interest
(Redeemable Units). The Partnership commenced
trading on March 16, 1998. From March 16, 1998 to
August 31, 2001, the Partnership engaged directly in the
speculative trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity
interests. The Partnership no longer offers Redeemable Units for sale.
Ceres Managed Futures LLC (CMF), a
Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (the
General Partner) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership.
The General Partner is wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC
(MSSB Holdings). Morgan Stanley, indirectly through
various subsidiaries, owns a majority equity interest in MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. (CGM),
the commodity broker and a selling agent for the Partnership, owns a
minority equity interest in MSSB Holdings.
Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM.
Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner,
the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole
owner of which is Citigroup. As of March 31, 2011, all trading
decisions for the Partnership are made by the Advisor (defined below).
On September 1, 2001, the Partnership allocated
substantially all of its capital to AAA Master
Fund LLC (the
Master), a New York limited liability company. The Partnership purchased 128,539.1485
units of the Master with a fair value of $128,539,149 (including unrealized
appreciation of $7,323,329). The Master was formed in order
to permit commodity pools managed now or in the future by AAA
Capital Management Advisors, Ltd. (the Advisor) using the Energy
ProgramFutures and Swaps, a proprietary, discretionary trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle. In
addition, the Advisor is a special limited partner (the Special Limited Partner) of the
Partnership. The General Partner and the Advisor believe that
trading through this master/feeder structure promotes
efficiency and economy in the trading process. Expenses to
investors as a result of the investment in the Master are
approximately the same and redemption rights are not affected.
The Masters commodity broker is CGM and its managing
member is CMF. The Master may trade commodity futures and
options contracts of any kind, but trades solely energy,
energy-related products and lumber. In addition, the Master may
enter into swap contracts or trade in energy-related products.
The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership
through its investment in the Master are
volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
The General Partner is not aware of any material changes to the trading program discussed above
during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011.
At March 31, 2011, the Partnership owned approximately
22.4% of the Master. At December 31, 2010, the Partnership
owned approximately 24.4% of the Master.
It is the Partnerships
intention to continue to invest substantially all of its assets
in the Master. The performance of the Partnership is directly
affected by the performance of the Master. The Masters trading of futures, forwards, swaps
and options contracts, as applicable, is done primarily on U.S.
and foreign commodity
exchanges. The Master engages in such trading through a commodity brokerage account
maintained with CGM. The Masters
Statements of Financial Condition, including Condensed Schedules of
Investments and Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Members
Capital are included herein.
The General Partner and each limited partner share in the profits and losses of the Partnership, after the allocation to
the Special Limited Partner, in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned by each except that
no limited partner shall be liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of its capital contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions.
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited but, in the
opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement
of the Partnerships financial condition at March 31, 2011
and December 31, 2010, and the results of its
operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements present
the results of interim periods and do not include all
disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements.
You should read these financial statements together with the
financial statements and notes included in the
Partnerships Annual Report on
Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The preparation of financial
statements in accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. In making these estimates and assumptions, management has considered
the effects, if any, of events occurring after the date of the
Partnerships Statements of Financial Condition through the date
the financial statements were filed.
As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Due to the nature of commodity trading, the results of
operations for the interim periods presented should not be
considered indicative of the results that may be expected for
the entire year.

3. | Trading Activities: |
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts
in a variety of commodity interests, including derivative
financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The
Partnership invests substantially all of its assets through a
master/feeder structure. The Partnerships pro rata share of the results of the
Masters trading activities are shown in the
Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners Capital.
The customer agreements between the Partnership and CGM and the
Master and CGM give the Partnership and the Master,
respectively, the legal right to net unrealized gains and losses
on open futures and exchange-cleared swap contracts. The Master nets, for financial reporting purposes,
the unrealized gains and losses on open futures and exchange-cleared swap contracts on the Statements of Financial
Condition.
Brokerage commissions are based on the number of trades executed
by the Advisor and the Partnerships ownership percentage of the Master.
All of the commodity interests owned by the Master are held for
trading purposes. The monthly average number of futures and exchange-cleared
swap contracts traded during the three months
ended March 31, 2011
and 2010 were 93,866 and 146,227,
respectively. The monthly average number of options
contracts traded during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
were 122,134 and 176,565, respectively.
The following tables indicate the gross fair values of derivative instruments

4. | Fair Value Measurements: |
Partnerships Investments. The Partnership values its
investment in the Master at its net asset value per unit as
calculated by the Master. The Master values its investments as
described in note 2 of the Masters notes to the
annual financial statements as of December 31, 2010.
Partnerships Fair Value Measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values
derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in
the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement
in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety.
GAAP also requires the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has
become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. Management has
concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a significant
decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Partnerships Level 2 assets.
The Partnership will separately present
purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in its
reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e., to present such items on a gross basis
rather than on a net basis), and make disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the
inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either
Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as required under GAAP.
The
Partnership values its investment in the Master
where there are no other rights or obligations
inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership
based on the end of the day net asset value of the Master
(Level 2). The value of the Partnerships investment
in the Master reflects its proportional interest in the Master.
As of and for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
the Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments
that are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets (Level 1) or priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the
application of managements assumptions and internal
valuation pricing models (Level 3).

Masters Investments. All commodity interests of the
Master (including derivative financial instruments and
derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes.
The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open
contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the
measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated
in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or
losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized
gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in
trading account on the Statements of Financial
Condition. Net realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized
gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the
Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Members Capital.
Masters Fair Value Measurements. Fair
value is defined as the price that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values
derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in
the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement
in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety. GAAP also requires the need to use judgment in
determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in
determining fair values when the market has become inactive.
Management has concluded that based on available information in the
marketplace, the Masters Level 1 assets and liabilities are
actively traded.
The Master will separately present purchases, sales, issuances,
and settlements in its reconciliation of Level 3 fair value
measurements (i.e., to present such items on a gross basis rather
than on a net basis), and make disclosures regarding the level
of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used
to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either
Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as required under GAAP.
The Master considers prices for exchange-traded commodity
futures, forwards and options contracts to be based on
unadjusted quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values
of non-exchange traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which
market quotations are not readily available are priced by
broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from
observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the periods
ended March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, the Master did not hold any derivative
instruments for which market quotations are not readily available
and which are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets
from observable inputs (Level 2) or that are priced at fair value using unobservable
inputs through the application of managements assumptions
and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

5. | Financial Instrument Risks: |
In the normal course of business, the Partnership, through its investment in the Master,
is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial
instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards,
futures, options and swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference
rate, and generally represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, or to
purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in
the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in
cash, through physical delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be
traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Exchange-traded instruments are standardized and
include futures and certain forwards and options contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting
parties and include forwards and certain options. Specific market movements of commodities or
futures contracts underlying an option cannot accurately be predicted. The purchaser of an option
may lose the entire premium paid for the option. The writer, or seller, of an option has unlimited
risk. Each of these instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the
underlying financial instruments including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated
with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded instruments because of
the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
The risk to the limited partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited
to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of the
Partnerships assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the
organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by
the Partnership/Master due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate
movements and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the
volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded by the
Partnership/Master. The Partnership/Master is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and
forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform
according to the terms of a contract. The Partnerships/Masters risk of loss in the event of
a counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial
Condition and is not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The
Partnerships/Masters risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable
master netting agreements with counterparties that permit the Partnership/Master to offset
unrealized gains and losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon
the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership/Master has credit risk and concentration
risk as the sole counterparty or broker with respect to the Partnerships/Masters
assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is
reduced to the extent that through CGM, the Partnerships/Masters counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
The
Advisor will concentrate the Partnerships/Masters trading in energy-related markets.
Concentration in a limited number of commodity interests may subject the Partnerships/Masters
account to greater volatility than if a more diversified portfolio of contracts were traded on
behalf of the Partnership/Master.
As both a buyer and seller of options, the Master pays or receives a premium at
the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying
the option. Written options expose the Master to potentially unlimited liability; for
purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options
permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The
Master does not consider these contracts to be guarantees.
The
General Partner/managing member monitors and attempts to control the Partnerships/Masters risk exposure on a daily
basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly, believes
that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which
the Partnership/Master may be subject. These monitoring systems
generally allow the General Partner/managing member to
statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and
correlation statistics. In addition, on-line monitoring systems provide account analysis of
futures and exchange-cleared swaps,
forwards and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions
and collateral positions.
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due
to the nature of the Partnerships/Masters business, these instruments may not be held to
maturity.

6. Critical Accounting Policies:
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses,
and related disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Partnerships Investments. The Partnership values its investment in the Master at its net asset value per
unit as calculated by the Master. The Master values its investments as described in note 2 of the
Masters notes to the annual financial statements as of
December 31, 2010.
Partnerships
and the Masters Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the
measurement date under current market conditions.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from
unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value
measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Management
has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace,
the Masters Level 1 assets and liabilities are actively traded.
GAAP also
requires the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive
and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. Management has concluded that
based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a significant decrease in the
volume and level of activity in the Partnerships Level 2 assets and liabilities.
The
Partnership will separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and
settlements in its
reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e., to present such items on a gross
basis rather than on a net basis), and make disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation
and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall
within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as required under GAAP.
The
Partnership values its investment in the Master where there are no other rights or obligations
inherent within the ownership interest held by the Partnership based on the end of the day net
asset value of the Master (Level 2). The value of the Partnerships investment in the Master
reflects its proportional interest in the Master. As of and for the
periods ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership did not
hold any derivative instruments that are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets (Level 1) or priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of
managements assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).
The
Master considers prices for exchange-traded commodity futures, forwards and options
contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values
of non exchange-traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations
are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair values for those assets from
observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Master did not hold any derivative
instruments for which market quotations are not readily available,
and are priced by broker-dealers who
derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2) or that are priced at fair
value using
unobservable inputs through the application of managements assumptions and internal valuation
pricing models (Level 3).
Futures Contracts. The Master trades
futures contracts and
exchange-cleared swaps. Exchange-cleared swaps are swaps that are traded as futures.
A futures contract is a firm
commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of
a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract
is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery
cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments
(variation margin) may be made or received by the Master each business day, depending on the
daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains
or losses by the Master. When the contract is closed, the Master records a realized gain or loss
equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value
at the time it was closed. Transactions in futures contracts require participants to make
both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets and variation margin deposits, through the
futures broker, directly with the exchange on which the contracts are
traded. Net realized gains (losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are
included in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Members
Capital.
Options. The Master may purchase and write (sell), both exchange listed and OTC
options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract allowing, but not
requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial
instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total
price paid or received for the option contract. When the Master writes an option, the premium
received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market
daily. When the Master purchases an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the
Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Realized gains (losses) and changes
in unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the Statements of Income and
Expenses and Changes in Members Capital.
Brokerage
Commissions. Commission charges to open and close futures and exchange-traded swap
contracts are expensed at the time the positions are opened. Commission charges on option contracts
are expensed at the time the position is established and when the option contract is closed.
Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for
the taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnerships income
and expenses.
GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements and requires the
evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the
Partnerships financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are
more-likely-than-not to be 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 a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General Partner
concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnerships financial
statements.
The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax
returns are currently under examination. Generally, the 2007 through 2010 tax years remain subject
to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. Management does not believe that
there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Subsequent Events.
Management of the Partnership evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements
are filed. Management has assessed the subsequent events through the
date of filing and has determined that there were no subsequent
events requiring adjustment of or disclosure in the financial statements.
Net
Income (Loss) per unit .
Net income (loss) per unit is calculated in accordance with investment company guidance. See

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services.
Its only assets are its investment in the Master and cash. The Master does not engage in the sale
of goods or services. Because of the low margin deposits
normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small
price movements may result in substantial losses to the
Partnership, through its investment in the Master. While
substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in
liquidity, no such illiquidity occurred during the first quarter of
2011.
The Partnerships capital consists of the capital
contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by
income (loss) from its
investment in the Master and by expenses, interest income, redemptions
of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, Partnership
capital decreased 5.8% from $231,421,521 to $218,050,981. This decrease was attributable to redemptions of
1,623.5423 Redeemable Units resulting in an outflow of $16,701,239,
and the redemption of 24.1950 General Partner unit equivalents
totaling $250,000, which was partially offset by the net income from operations
of $3,580,699. Future
redemptions could impact the amount of funds available for investment in the Master in subsequent
periods.
The Masters capital consists of the capital contributions of the members as increased or
decreased by realized and/or unrealized gains or losses on commodity
futures trading and by expenses,
interest income, redemptions of units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Masters capital increased 0.7% from
$980,369,638 to $987,060,672. This increase was attributable to subscriptions of 5,462.2306 Units of
Member Interest totaling $52,476,738, coupled with the net gain from operations of $23,301,677,
which was partially offset by the redemption of 7,186.2060 Units of Member Interest totaling
$68,909,014 and distribution of interest income to feeder funds totaling $178,367 to the
non-managing members of the Master, Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for
investments in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the
reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the
financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Partnerships significant accounting policies are described in detail
in Note 6 of the Financial Statements.
The Partnership records all investments at fair value in its financial statements,
with changes in fair value reported as a component of net realized and change in
net unrealized trading gain (loss) in the Statements of Income and Expenses and
Changes in Partners Capital.

Results
of Operations
During the Partnerships first quarter of 2011, the net asset value per unit increased 1.6%
from $10,172.06 to $10,332.72 as compared to a decrease of 3.9% in the first quarter of 2010. The
Partnership, for its own account, through its investment in the Master, experienced a net trading
gain before brokerage commissions and related fees in the first quarter of 2011 of $5,586,428.
Gains were primarily attributable to the Masters trading of commodity futures in IPE Brent Crude
Oil, IPE Gas Oil, NYMEX Gasoline and Lumber and were partially offset by losses in NYMEX Crude Oil,
NYMEX Energy Swaps, NYMEX Natural Gas and NYMEX Heating Oil. The Partnership, for its own account,
through its investment in the Master, experienced a net trading loss before brokerage commissions
and related fees in the first quarter of 2010 of $8,051,589. Losses were primarily attributable to
the Masters trading of commodity futures in NYMEX Crude Oil, NYMEX Energy Swaps, IPE Gas Oil and
Lumber and were partially offset by gains in NYMEX Gasoline, NYMEX Natural Gas, Unleaded Gas, IPE
Brent Crude Oil, and NYMEX Heating Oil.
The Partnership generated strong gains in January as long futures and options positions in the crude oil complex as well as
heating oil helped generate profits. The Funds return in crude oil was tied to the massive dislocation that developed between
the U.S. and world crude oil markets.
During the month of February, the Partnership generated further gains as natural gas futures sold
off given the continued oversupply of natural gas in the market as well as a brief period of warmer weather
during the winter, which caused prices to trade down, generating gains from short delta positions in March futures.
The back-end of the natural gas curve was able to generate gains as well. Positive return from crude oil and
distillates in February was offset by losses from RBOB gasoline.
The month of March was dominated by the contagion in the Middle East, which spread from Egypt and into
Libya causing concerns about future crude oil production and supply to Africa and Europe. Given the
increased volatility the Partnership was able to generate gains in long futures and options positions in crude
oil and heating oil March. In addition, the continued volatility helped to generate gains in gas oil as long
futures positions traded up.

Table of Contents
Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. The potential for
broad and rapid price fluctuations increases the risks involved
in commodity trading, but also increases the possibility of
profit. The profitability of the Partnership (and the Master)
depends on the Advisors ability to forecast price changes
in energy and energy-related commodities. Such price changes are
influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand
relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial
and trade programs and policies, national and international
political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To
the extent that the Advisor correctly makes such forecasts, the
Partnership (and the Master) expects to increase capital through
operations.
Brokerage commissions are based on the number of trades executed by the Advisor and the Partnerships ownership percentage
of the Master. Brokerage commissions and fees for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 decreased by $487,149 as compared
to the corresponding period in 2010. The decrease in commissions and fees is primarily due to a decrease in the number of
trades during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to
the corresponding period in 2010.
Interest income on 80% of the Partnerships average daily equity allocated to it by the Master was earned at a
30-day
U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on
the average non-competitive yield on
3-month
U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days.
Interest income allocated from the Master for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 increased by $15,002 as compared to the
corresponding period in 2010. The increase in interest income is primarily due to higher U.S. Treasury bill rates for the
Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared
to the corresponding period in 2010. Interest earned by the
Partnership will increase the net asset value of the Partnership. The amount of interest income earned by the Partnership depends on the average daily
equity in the Partnerships account and upon interest rates over
which neither the Partnership nor
CGM has control.
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the
Partnerships net asset value as of the end of each month
and are affected by trading performance and redemptions.
Management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011,
decreased by $232,222 as compared
to the corresponding period in 2010. The decrease in management
fees is due to lower average net assets during the
three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the corresponding
period in 2010.
Special Limited Partner profit share allocations (incentive
fees) are based on the new trading profits generated by the
Advisor at the end of the quarter, as defined in the advisory
agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and the
Advisor. There were no profit share allocations earned for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The Advisor will not be allocated a profit share until the Advisor recovers the net loss
incurred and earns additional new trading profits for the Partnership.
In allocating substantially all of the assets of the Partnership to the Master, the General
Partner considers the Advisors past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and
fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets to the
Advisor at any time.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
All of the Partnerships assets are subject to the risk of
trading loss through its investment in the Master. The Master is
a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments
held by the Master are acquired for speculative trading
purposes, and all or substantially all of the Partnerships
assets are subject to the risk of trading loss through its
investment in the Master. Unlike an operating company, the risk
of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to
the Masters and the Partnerships main line of
business.
The risk to the limited partners that have
purchased interests in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their
capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of the Partnerships
assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the
organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of
the Masters open positions and, consequently, in their
earnings and cash balances. The Masters and the
Partnerships market risk is influenced by a wide variety
of factors, including the level and volatility of interest
rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the value of
financial instruments and contracts, the diversification results
among the Masters open positions and the liquidity of the
markets in which the Master trades.
The Master rapidly acquires and liquidates both long and short
positions in a range of different markets. Consequently, it is
not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario
will affect performance, and the Masters past performance
is not necessarily indicative of its future results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the
Master could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market
sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Masters
speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by
the Master of market movements far exceeding expectations could
result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the
indicated Value at Risk or the Masters experience to date
(i.e., risk of ruin). In light of the foregoing as
well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future
projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section
should not be considered to constitute any assurance or
representation that the Masters losses in any market
sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Masters
attempts to manage its market risk.
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the
Master as the measure of its Value at Risk. Maintenance margin
requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum
losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of
any given contract in 95% - 99% of any
one-day
interval. Maintenance margin has been used rather than the more
generally available initial margin, because initial margin
includes a credit risk component, which is not relevant to Value
at Risk.
Value at Risk tables represent a probabilistic assessment of the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments. The following table indicates the trading Value at Risk
associated with the Masters open positions by market
category as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the highest, lowest and
average value during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.
All open position trading risk exposures of the Master have been
included in calculating the figures set forth below. There has been no material change in the trading
Value at Risk information previously disclosed in the
Partnerships Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2010.
As of
March 31, 2011, the Masters total capitalization was
$987,060,672 and the Partnership owned approximately 22.4% of the
Master. The Partnership invests substantially all of its assets in
the Master. The Masters Value at Risk as of March 31, 2011 was as follows:

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
The Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Partnership on the reports that it files or submits under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods expected in the SECs rules and forms.
Disclosure
controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files
is accumulated and communicated to management,
including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial
Officer (CFO) of the General Partner, to allow for timely
decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC
filings.
Management is responsible for ensuring that there is an adequate
and effective process for establishing, maintaining and
evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the
Partnerships external disclosures.
The General Partners CEO and CFO have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Partnerships disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2011 and, based on
that evaluation, the General Partners CEO and CFO have concluded that at that
date the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures
were effective.
The Partnerships internal control over financial
reporting is a process under the supervision of the General
Partners CEO and CFO to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with
GAAP. These
controls include policies and procedures that:
| pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership; | |
| provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) the Partnerships receipts are handled and expenditures are made only pursuant to authorizations of the General Partner; and | |
| provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnerships assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
There were no changes in the Partnerships internal control
over financial reporting process during the fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Partnerships internal
control over financial reporting.

PART II.
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
This
section describes the major pending legal proceedings, other than
ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which CGM
is a party or to which any of their property is subject. There are no
material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership or the
General Partner.
CGM is a
New York corporation with its principal place of business at 388
Greenwich St., New York, New York 10013. CGM is registered as a
broker-dealer and futures commission merchant (FCM), and
provides futures brokerage and clearing services for institutional
and retail participants in the futures markets. CGM and its affiliates also provide
investment banking and other financial services for clients worldwide.
There
have been no material administrative, civil or criminal actions
within the past five years against CGM (formerly known as Salomon
Smith Barney) or any of its individual principals and no such actions
are currently pending, except as follows.
Mutual Funds
Several
issues in the mutual fund industry have come under the scrutiny of
federal and state regulators. Citigroup has received subpoenas and
other requests for information from various government regulators
regarding market timing, financing, fees, sales practices and other
mutual fund issues in connection with various investigations.
Citigroup is cooperating with all such reviews. Additionally, CGM has
entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC with respect to
revenue sharing and sales of classes of funds.
On
May 31, 2005, Citigroup announced that Smith Barney Fund Management
LLC and CGM completed a settlement with the SEC resolving an
investigation by the SEC into matters relating to arrangements
between certain Smith Barney mutual funds, an affiliated transfer
agent and an unaffiliated sub-transfer agent. Under the terms of
the settlement, Citigroup agreed to pay fines totaling $208.1
million. The settlement, in which Citigroup neither admitted nor
denied any wrongdoing or liability, includes allegations of willful
misconduct by Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and CGM in failing to
disclose aspects of the transfer agent arrangements to certain mutual
fund investors.
In May
2007, CGM finalized its settlement agreement with the NYSE and the
New Jersey Bureau of Securities on the matter related to its
market-timing practices prior to September 2003.
FINRA Settlement
On October
12, 2009, FINRA announced its acceptance of an Award Waiver and
Consent (AWC) in which CGM, without admitting or denying
the findings, consented to the entry of the AWC and a fine and
censure of $600,000. The AWC includes findings that CGM failed to
adequately supervise the activities of its equities trading desk in
connection with swap and related hedge trades in U.S. and Italian
equities that were designed to provide certain perceived tax
advantages. CGM was charged with failing to provide for effective
written procedures with respect to the implementation of the trades,
failing to monitor Bloomberg messages and failing to properly report
certain of the trades to the NASDAQ.
Auction Rate Securities
On
May 31, 2006, the SEC instituted and simultaneously settled
proceedings against CGM and 14 other broker-dealers regarding
practices in the auction rate securities market. The SEC alleged that
the broker-dealers violated Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The broker-dealers, without admitting or denying
liability, consented to the entry of an SEC cease-and-desist order
providing for censures, undertakings and penalties. CGM paid a
penalty of $1.5 million.
On
August 7, 2008, Citigroup reached a settlement with the New York
Attorney General, the SEC, and other state regulatory agencies,
pursuant to which Citigroup agreed to offer to purchase at par
auction rate securities from all Citigroup individual investors,
small institutions (as defined by the terms of the settlement), and
charities that purchased auction rate securities from Citigroup prior
to February 11, 2008. In addition, Citigroup agreed to pay a $50
million fine to the State of New York and a $50 million fine to the
other state regulatory agencies.
Subprime Mortgage-Related Actions
The
SEC, among other regulators, is investigating Citigroups
subprime and other mortgage-related conduct and business activities,
as well as other business activities affected by the credit crisis,
including an ongoing inquiry into Citigroups structuring and
sale of collateralized debt obligations. Citigroup is cooperating
fully with the SECs inquiries.
On
July 29, 2010, the SEC announced the settlement of an investigation
into certain of Citigroups 2007 disclosures concerning its
subprime-related business activities. On October 19, 2010, the United
States District Court for the District of Columbia entered a final
judgment approving the settlement, pursuant to which Citigroup agreed
to pay a $75 million civil penalty and to maintain certain disclosure
policies, practices and procedures for a three-year period. Additional
information relating to this action is publicly available in court
filings under the docket number 10 Civ. 1277 (D.D.C.) (Huvelle, J.).
The
Federal Reserve Bank, the OCC and the FDIC, among other federal and
state authorities, are investigating issues related to the conduct of
certain mortgage servicing companies, including Citigroup affiliates,
in connection with mortgage foreclosures. Citigroup is cooperating
fully with these inquiries.
Credit Crisis Related Matters
Beginning
in the fourth quarter of 2007, certain of Citigroups, and
CGM regulators and other state and federal government agencies
commenced formal and informal investigations and inquiries, and
issued subpoenas and requested information, concerning
Citigroups subprime mortgage-related conduct and business
activities. Citigroup and certain of its affiliates, including CGM,
are involved in discussions with certain of its regulators to resolve
certain of these matters.
Certain
of these regulatory matters assert claims for substantial or
indeterminate damages. Some of these matters already have been
resolved, either through settlements or court proceedings, including
the complete dismissal of certain complaints or the rejection of
certain claims following hearings.
In
the course of its business, CGM, as a major futures commission
merchant and broker-dealer, is a party to various civil actions,
claims and routine regulatory investigations and proceedings that
the general partner believes do not have a material effect on the
business of CGM.
