NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of Millburn Multi-Market Fund L.P.’s (the “Partnership”) financial condition at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Partnership’s 2010 annual report included in Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 2010 information has been derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2010.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Partnership enters into contracts with various financial institutions that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Partnership has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Income Taxes topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (the “Codification”) clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This requires that the Partnership recognize in its financial statements the impact of any uncertain tax positions. Based on a review of the Partnership’s open tax years, 2009 and 2010, for the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, the New York and Connecticut state jurisdictions, and the New York City jurisdiction, there are no uncertain tax positions. The Partnership is treated as a limited partnership for federal and state income tax reporting purposes.

There have been no material changes with respect to the Partnership’s critical accounting policies, off-balance sheet arrangements or disclosure of contractual obligations as reported in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2010.
 
2. INVESTMENT IN MILLBURN MULTI-MARKETS TRADING L.P.

The Partnership invests all of its assets in Millburn Multi-Markets Trading L.P. (the “Master Fund”). The Partnership’s ownership percentage of the Master Fund at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 49.26% and 37.43%, respectively, of total partners’ capital of the Master Fund. See the attached financial statements of the Master Fund.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership bears its own expenses, including, but not limited to, periodic legal, accounting and filing fees. Total operating expenses related to investors in the Partnership (including their pro-rata share of Master Fund expenses) are not expected to exceed 1/2 of 1% per annum of the Partnership’s average month-end partners’ capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Millburn Ridgefield Corporation (the “General Partner”) chose to directly bear operating expenses in excess of 1/2 of 1% of average net assets of the Partnership’s average month-end partners’ capital.

During any time in which a third-party administrator is providing services to the Master Fund, as is currently the case, the General Partner is paid a monthly Administration Fee for administration services it provides, calculated as a percentage of the month-end net asset value (prior to reduction for withdrawals or redemptions, management fees, amounts payable to selling agents and the administration fee then being calculated) of the Master Fund equal to 0.05% per annum of the Master Fund’s average net assets. The Partnership is allocated its pro rata portion of the administration fee which is charged at the Master Fund level. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $157,024 and $73,244, respectively, was payable by the Master Fund to the General Partner and is included in “accrued expenses” in the Master Fund’s Statements of Financial Condition.

 
11

 

The General Partner has advanced expenses incurred in connection with the organization of the Partnership and the initial offering of the units of limited partnership (“Units”). The total amount advanced by the General Partner was $191,967. The Master Fund, on behalf of the Partnership, is reimbursing the General Partner for these costs in 60 equal monthly installments, beginning August 1, 2009; provided, however, that to the extent the reimbursement amount of such organizational and initial offering costs exceeds in the aggregate for any month 1/12 of 0.05% of the Partnership’s month-end net asset value (a 0.05% annual rate), such excess will not be reimbursed to, but will be borne by, the General Partner. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, costs incurred were $20,954 and $37,303, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, costs incurred were $4,361 and $6,284. Organizational and offering costs are included in "administrative and operating expenses" in the Partnerships and Master Fund's Statements of Operations. Further, as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $37,303 and $25,277, respectively, were payable by the Master Fund to the General Partner as reimbursement for such costs and are included in “accrued expenses” in the Master Fund’s Statement of Financial Condition.

Series A Unitholders that redeem Units at or prior to the end of the first eleven months after such Units are sold shall be assessed redemption charges calculated based on their redeemed Units' net asset value as of the date of redemption. All redemption charges will be paid to the General Partner. At June 30, 2011, $1,441 was owed to the General Partner for redemption charges. No such charges were owed at December 31, 2010.

4. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Per Unit operating performance for Series A, Series B and Series C Units is calculated based on Unitholders’ partners’ capital for each series taken as a whole utilizing the beginning and ending net asset value per unit and weighted average number of units during each three and six month period. Weighted average number of units of each series is detailed below.

(2) Ratios are computed net of voluntary waivers of operating expenses borne by the General Partner. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the ratios are net of the 0% and 0.01% effect of the voluntary waivers of operating expenses, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the ratios are net of the 0% and 0.04% effect of the voluntary waivers of operating expenses, respectively.

(3) Excludes General Partner profit share allocation and includes interest income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Millburn Multi-Markets Trading L.P. (the “Master Fund”) engages in the speculative trading of futures and forward currency contracts and also acts as a master fund for Millburn Multi-Markets Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”) and Millburn Multi-Markets Ltd. (the “Company”).

The accompanying unaudited financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Master Fund’s financial condition at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Master Fund’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 2010 information has been derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2010.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S.”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Master Fund enters into contracts with various financial institutions that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Master Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Master Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Income Taxes topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This requires that the Master Fund recognize in its financial statements the impact of any uncertain tax positions. Based on a review of the Master Fund’s open tax years, 2007 through 2010, for the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, the New York and Connecticut State jurisdictions, and the New York City jurisdiction, there are no uncertain tax positions. The Master Fund is treated as a limited partnership for federal and state income tax reporting purposes.

The capital withdrawal payable at June 30, 2011 of $635,448 consists of withdrawals of $528,429 and $107,019 from the Partnership and the Master Fund, respectively.

The Master Fund bears expenses, including, but not limited to, periodic legal, accounting and filing fees, up to an amount equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum of average net assets of the Master Fund (the “Expense Cap”). Amounts subject to the Expense Cap include expenses incurred at the Master Fund and Company level and the Administration Fee due to the General Partner. The General Partner of the Master Fund bears any excess over such amounts.

3. FAIR VALUE

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the Codification defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 
24

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In determining fair value, the Master Fund separates its investments into two categories: cash instruments and derivative contracts.

Cash Instruments. The Master Fund’s cash instruments are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are typically valued using quoted market prices. The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include U.S. government obligations and a short-term U.S. government money market fund. The general partner of the Master Fund (the “General Partner”) does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where the Master Fund holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Derivative Contracts. Derivative contracts can be exchange-traded or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued based on quoted closing settlement prices and typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

OTC derivatives, or forward currency contracts, are valued based on pricing models that consider the current market prices plus the time value of money (“Forward Points”) and contractual prices of the underlying financial instruments. The Forward Points from the quotation service providers are generally in periods of one month, two months, three months and six months forward while the contractual forward delivery dates for the foreign forward currency contracts traded by the Master Fund may be in between these periods. The General Partner’s policy is to calculate the Forward Points for each contract being valued by determining the number of days from the date the forward currency contract is being valued to its maturity date and then using straight-line interpolation to calculate the valuation of Forward Points for the applicable forward currency contract. Model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2. The following tables set forth by level and major category within the fair value hirerarchy. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Master Fund had no assets or liabilities in Level 3.

4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Codification requires qualitative disclosure about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.

The Master Fund’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Master Fund’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.

The Master Fund engages in the speculative trading of futures and forward contracts on interest rates, grains, softs, currencies, metals, energies, livestock and stock indices. The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Master Fund at June 30, 2011, by market sector:

Agricultural (grains, livestock and softs) – The Master Fund’s primary exposure is to agricultural price movements, which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions as well as supply and demand factors.

 
27

 

Currencies – Exchange rate risk is a principal market exposure of the Master Fund. The Master Fund’s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. The fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Master Fund trades in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates—e.g., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

Energies – The Master Fund’s primary energy market exposure is to gas and oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East and economic conditions worldwide. Energy prices are volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.

Interest rates – Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Master Fund and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries may materially impact the Master Fund’s profitability. The Master Fund’s primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in countries or regions including Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the U.S. and the Eurozone. However, the Master Fund also may take positions in futures contracts on the government debt of other nations. The General Partner anticipates that interest rates in the industrialized countries, both long-term and short-term, will remain the primary interest rate market exposure of the Master Fund for the foreseeable future.

Metals – The Master Fund’s metals market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of aluminum, copper, gold, lead, nickel, platinum, silver, tin and zinc.

Stock Indices – The Master Fund’s equity exposure, through stock index futures, is to equity price risk in the major industrialized countries as well as other countries.

The Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Codification requires entities to recognize in the Statements of Financial Condition all derivative contracts as assets or liabilities. Fair values of futures and forward currency contracts in an asset position by counterparty, respectively are recorded in the Statements of Financial Condition as “Net unrealized appreciation on open futures and forward currency contracts.” Fair value of futures and forward currency contracts in a liability position by counterparty, respectively are recorded in the statements of financial condition as “Net unrealized depreciation on open futures and forward currency contracts.” The Master Fund’s policy regarding fair value measurement is discussed in the Fair Value and Disclosures note, contained herein.

Since the derivatives held or sold by the Master Fund are for speculative trading purposes, the derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under the provisions of the Derivatives and Hedging guidance. Accordingly, all realized gains and losses, as well as any change in net unrealized gains or losses on open positions from the preceding period, are recognized as part of the Master Fund’s trading gains and losses in the Statements of Operations.

The following tables present the fair value of open futures and forward currency contracts, held long or sold short, at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Fair value is presented on a gross basis even though the contracts are subject to master netting agreements and qualify for net presentation in the Master Fund’s Statements of Financial Condition.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the monthly average number of futures contracts bought and sold was 21,156 and 20,933 , respectively, and the monthly average notional value of forward currency contracts traded was approximately $1,043,000,000. Over the same period in 2010, the monthly average of futures contracts bought and sold was 8,241 and 7,975, respectively, and the monthly average notional value of forward currency contracts traded was approximately $274,000,000.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk is normally reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to futures transactions since typically the collective credit of the members of the exchange is pledged to support the financial integrity of the exchange.

The General Partner seeks to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and maintaining the Master Fund’s assets at financial institutions and trading counterparties which the General Partner believes to be creditworthy. In addition, for OTC forward currency contracts, the Master Fund enters into master netting agreements with its counterparties. Collateral posted at the various counterparties for trading of futures and forward currency contracts includes cash and U.S. Treasury notes.

The Master Fund’s forward currency trading activities are cleared by Deutsche Bank AG (“DB”), Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. (“MS”) and Barclays Capital (“BC”). The Master Fund began trading at BC on June 3, 2011. The Master Fund’s concentration of credit risk associated with DB, MS and BC nonperformance includes unrealized gains inherent in such contracts, which are recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition plus the value of margin or collateral held by BC, DB and MS. The amount of such credit risk was $40,995,210 and $31,950,348 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

6. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Ratios to average capital are calculated based on 1) a Limited Partner that is charged a monthly management fee of 1/12 of 2.00% (2.00% per annum) and 20% of Trading Profits (the Tracking Partner) and 2) limited partners’ capital taken as a whole. The computation of such ratios based on the amount of expenses and profit share allocation assessed to an individual partner’s capital account may vary from these ratios based on the timing of capital transactions and differences in individual partner’s management fee, selling commission, platform fee and profit share allocation arrangements. Returns are calculated based on 1) a Limited Partner that is charged a monthly management fee of 1/12 of 2.00% (2.00% per annum) and 20% of Trading Profits and 2) limited partners’ capital taken as a whole. An individual partner’s returns may vary from these returns based on the timing of capital transactions and differences in individual partners’ management fee, selling commission, platform fee and profit share allocation arrangements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Reference is made to Item 1, "Financial Statements". The information contained therein is essential to, and should be read in connection with, the following analysis.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

The Partnership invests all of its assets in the Master Fund. Due to the nature of the Master Fund's business, its results of operations depend on the General Partner's ability to recognize and capitalize on trends and other profit opportunities in different sectors of the global capital and commodity markets. The General Partner's trading methods are confidential, so that substantially the only information that can be furnished regarding the Master Fund's results of operations is contained in the performance record of its trading. Unlike operating businesses, general economic or seasonal conditions do not directly affect the profit potential of the Master Fund, and its past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The General Partner believes, however, that there are certain market conditions, for example, markets with strong price trends, in which the Master Fund has a better likelihood of being profitable than in others.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Units may be offered for sale as of the beginning, and may be redeemed as of the end, of each month.
 
The amount of capital raised for the Partnership should not have a significant impact on its operations, as the Partnership and the Master Fund have no significant capital expenditure or working capital requirements other than for monies to pay trading losses, brokerage commissions and charges. Within broad ranges of capitalization, the General Partner’s trading positions should increase or decrease in approximate proportion to the size of the Master Fund (in which the Partnership participates).
 
The Partnership raises additional capital only through the sale of Units and capital is increased through trading profits (if any). Neither the Partnership nor the Master Fund engages in borrowing.
 
The Master Fund trades futures and forward contracts, and may trade swap and options contracts, on interest rates, commodities, currencies, metals, energy and stock indices. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) and the potential inability of counterparties or brokers to perform under the terms of their contracts (credit risk). Market risk is generally to be measured by the face amount of the futures positions acquired and the volatility of the markets traded. The credit risk from counterparty non-performance associated with these instruments is the net unrealized gain, if any, on these positions plus the value of the margin or collateral held by the counterparty. The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are generally perceived to be less than those associated with OTC transactions, because exchanges typically (but not universally) provide clearinghouse 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. In OTC transactions, on the other hand, traders must (typically but not universally) 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 or collateral in the OTC markets.

 
31

 

The General Partner has procedures in place to control market risk, although there can be no assurance that they will, in fact, succeed in doing so. These procedures primarily focus on (1) real time monitoring of open positions; (2) diversifying positions among various markets; (3) limiting the assets committed as margin, generally within a range of 5% to 35% of an account’s net assets at exchange minimum margins (including imputed margins on forward and swap positions), although the amount committed to margin at any time may be higher; (4) prohibiting pyramiding (that is, using unrealized profits in a particular market as margin for additional positions in the same market); and (5) changing the equity utilized for trading by an account solely on a controlled periodic basis rather than as an automatic consequence of an increase in equity resulting from trading profits. The Master Fund controls credit risk by dealing exclusively with large, well capitalized financial institutions as brokers and counterparties.
 
The financial instruments traded by the Master Fund contain varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby changes in the market values of the futures and forward contracts or the Master Fund’s satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in the statements of financial condition of the Master Fund.
 
Due to the nature of the Master Fund’s business, substantially all its assets are represented by cash, cash equivalents and United States government obligations, while the Master Fund maintains its market exposure through open futures and forward contract positions.
 
The Master Fund’s futures contracts are settled by offset and are cleared by the exchange clearinghouse function. Open futures positions are marked to market each trading day and the Master Fund’s trading accounts are debited or credited accordingly. Options on futures contracts are settled either by offset or by exercise. If an option on a future is exercised, the Master Fund is assigned a position in the underlying future which is then settled by offset. The Master Fund’s spot and forward currency transactions conducted in the interbank market are settled by netting offsetting positions or payment obligations and by cash payments.
 
The value of the Master Fund’s cash and financial instruments is not materially affected by inflation. Changes in interest rates, which are often associated with inflation, could cause the value of certain of the Master Fund’s debt securities to decline, but only to a limited extent. More important, changes in interest rates could cause periods of strong up or down market price trends, during which the Master Fund’s profit potential generally increases. However, inflation can also give rise to markets which have numerous short price trends followed by rapid reversals, markets in which the Master Fund is likely to suffer losses.
 
The Master Fund’s assets are generally held as cash or cash equivalents, including U.S. government securities or securities issued by federal agencies, other Commodity Futures Trading Commission-authorized investments or held in bank or certain other money market instruments (e.g., bankers acceptances and Eurodollar or other time deposits), which are used to margin the Master Fund’s futures and forward currency positions and withdrawn, as necessary, to pay redemptions and expenses. Other than potential market-imposed limitations on liquidity, due, for example, to limited open interest in certain futures markets or to daily price fluctuation limits, which are inherent in the Master Fund’s futures and forward trading, the Master Fund’s assets are highly liquid and are expected to remain so. During its operations through June 30, 2011, the Partnership, through its investment in the Master Fund, experienced no meaningful periods of illiquidity in any of the numerous markets traded by the General Partner.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
 
The Master Fund records its transactions in futures and forward currency contracts, including related income and expenses, on a trade date basis. Open futures contracts traded on an exchange are valued at fair value, which is based on the closing settlement price on the exchange where the futures contract is traded by the Master Fund on the day with respect to which net assets are being determined. Open forward currency contracts are recorded at fair value, based on pricing models that consider the current market prices (“Spot Prices”) plus the time value of money (“Forward Points”) and contractual prices of the underlying financial instruments. The Spot Prices and Forward Points for open forward currency contracts are generally based on the 3:00 P.M. New York time prices provided by widely used quotation service providers on the day with respect to which net assets are being determined. The Forward Points from the quotation service providers are generally in periods of one month, two months, three months and six months forward while the contractual forward delivery dates for the foreign currency contracts traded by the Partnership may be in between these periods.
 
The General Partner’s policy is to calculate the Forward Points for each contract being valued by determining the number of days from the date the forward currency contract is being valued to its maturity date and then using straight-line interpolation to calculate the valuation of Forward Points for the applicable forward currency contract. The General Partner will also compare the calculated price to the forward currency prices provided by dealers to determine whether the calculated price is fair and reasonable.

 
32

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions, such as accrual of expenses, that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements. Based on the nature of the business and operations of the Partnership, the General Partner believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Partnership’s financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, however actual results could differ from these estimates. The estimates used do not provide a range of possible results that would require the exercise of subjective judgment. The General Partner further believes that, based on the nature of the business and operations of the Partnership, no other reasonable assumptions relating to the application of the Partnership’s critical accounting estimates other than those currently used would likely result in materially different amounts from those reported.
 
The General Partner has advanced expenses incurred in connection with the organization of the Partnership and the initial offering of the Units. The Master Fund, on behalf of the Partnership, is reimbursing the General Partner for these costs in 60 equal monthly installments at 1/12 of 0.05% per month (0.05% per annum) of the Partnership’s month-end net asset value, beginning August 1, 2009. Actual organizational and initial offering costs in excess of this limitation will be absorbed by the General Partner.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Due to the nature of the Partnership’s trading, through its investment in the Master Fund, 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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION – 2011
 
Three months ended June 30, 2011

While growth oriented trades produced gains early in the quarter, market sentiment toward these “risk on” positions deteriorated during May and June and the Master Fund registered a decline for the three months. Losses from trading of equity, energy, metal and agricultural commodity futures outdistanced gains from currency and interest rate futures trading.

Manufacturing activity, as evidenced by weakening purchasing manager surveys and employment statistics, slowed worldwide during the quarter. In the developed economies, the continued depression in the housing markets and the knock-on effects of the Japan crisis added to the negative sentiment as did the coming end of the second round of quantitative easing ("QE2") in the U.S. and the increase in bank regulations worldwide. Meanwhile, in the developing economies, more moves toward tighter monetary policy to contain inflation, led by China, reined in “animal spirits”. Combining this worsening growth outlook with the Greek debt drama and U.S. debt ceiling imbroglio served to undermine the long equity and commodity trades in the Master Fund.

Against this background, long equity futures positions produced losses and were reduced significantly and in some instances closed or reversed to short trades. Losses were registered on long equity positions in U.S., Chinese, Hong Kong, Korean, Taiwanese, Canadian, Australian, South African and European—especially Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Dutch—equity futures. There was a bounce in equity markets near quarter-end as the Greek austerity approval triggered some short covering, and perhaps due to quarter-end window dressing purchases.

A steadying U.S. dollar, slowing growth and news that the International Energy Agency would release 60 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves to compensate for the Libyan shortfall pushed energy prices lower and led to losses on long positions in crude and related products. Trading of natural gas also resulted in a loss.

Diminishing industrial activity and global economic growth produced losses from long positions in industrial metals, especially aluminum, lead, zinc and nickel. A long gold position was profitable, although the gains were pared back as the U.S. dollar stabilized after April. Silver trading was highly volatile with gains in April offset by losses in May and June.

Turning to agricultural commodities, long positions in the soybean complex, crude palm oil, cotton, coffee and cattle were unprofitable, while a short London cocoa trade lost money and a short wheat trade was profitable.

Interest rate trading was profitable during April and May but in June sovereign debt concerns and inflation worries undermined some long note and bond trades. For the quarter, long positions in U.S., Australian, Canadian, and Japanese long-term futures and a long position in short-term sterling were profitable. Meanwhile, short trades in European interest rate futures produced losses.

The Federal Reserve’s policy of miniscule interest rates and quantitative easing caused the U.S. dollar to take a significant dip in April. During May and June, the U.S. dollar partially recovered as the end of QE2 approached and as growth and debt concerns outside the U.S. caused market participants to trim back short U.S. dollar positions. Still, on balance, short U.S. dollar positions versus emerging market, high yield and safe haven currencies like the Swiss franc were profitable. Meanwhile, non-U.S. dollar trading lost money from long positions in the Aussie dollar, Norwegian Kroner and Swedish krona. On the other hand, a short pound/long Aussie dollar trade was profitable.

Three months ended March 31, 2011

Trading during the quarter was volatile largely as a result of the disaster in Japan. There was a loss for the period as profits from energy, U.S. dollar currency, metal and soft commodity trading were outweighed by losses from equity, interest rate and currency cross rate trading.

Through the first two and one-third months of the quarter, generous liquidity creation by developed country central banks, especially the Federal Reserve, led to a weakening U.S. dollar, and rising equity and commodity prices. Meanwhile, inflation concerns, monetary policy tightening in emerging economies and persistent worry about government debt problems encouraged interest rates on government securities to rise.

Given the diverse monetary policy stances of the U.S. and emerging economies, capital flowed toward high yield and emerging market exporting countries. Short U.S. dollar positions were profitable as the U.S. dollar fell versus the currencies of Brazil, Canada, Korea, Mexico, Russia and Scandinavia.

Persistent ease in U.S. monetary policy also led to increasing optimism regarding global economic growth. This environment was favorable to global equities and long positions in index futures in the U.S., Canada, Europe and South Africa were profitable. Asian equities did less well as policy tightening progressed.

The weak U.S. dollar and strong growth outlook supported commodity prices and agricultural commodity, metal and energy trading were all profitable. The agricultural markets were also boosted by supply concerns caused by a variety of weather conditions – too much or too little rain, too hot or not hot enough. Long positions in corn, wheat, cotton, coffee and rubber were profitable.

Energy prices were up on the roiling violence in the Middle East and North Africa, a better economic growth outlook and supply drawdowns. Long positions in crude, heating oil, London gasoil and gasoline (RBOB) were profitable.

Contrary to some expectations, the Federal Reserve’s second foray into quantitative easing failed to keep interest rates low. With market participants worried about massive government borrowing requirements and future inflation, there was a substantial uptick in rates and moderate losses were sustained on long interest rate futures positions.

In mid-March, the Japanese earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster had a sizable negative impact on these profitable results as market participants altered their prior views producing significant price reversals.

A flight to safety triggered a strong move into the U.S. dollar which had been falling because of concern regarding fiscal and monetary problems in the U.S., as well as into the Swiss franc and yen which had been weak due to low interest rates. This flight also led to rising prices for “suddenly safe” government securities which had previously been under pressure due to debt problems and recent signs of tighter monetary policies, particularly in Asia. Given the threat to worldwide growth due to the crippling of the Japanese economy, global equity markets, which had weakened noticeably on March 9 in the wake of a Bank of Korea rate hike and further signs of a persistent inflation problem in China, fell sharply as the scale of the disaster expanded. Finally, with Japan’s industrial sector somewhat crippled and global growth now more uncertain, the demands for and prices of metals, energy, and other commodities, which have been experiencing a secular boom, fell, negatively impacting performance.

The increase in volatility led our risk management systems to reduce positions in order to keep risk in line with intended exposures. Also, price changes produced new signals from directional models that led to position adjustments. Equity exposures were reduced about 50% from earlier levels, although the portfolio remained partially long Asian, U.S. and European indices. In Japan, equity positions were reduced close to flat, as were positions in Japanese government bonds, while the portfolio stayed slightly short the U.S. dollar against the yen. Metal and energy positions stayed long though 10-20% under earlier levels. The portfolio also went somewhat long interest rate futures, particularly Canadian, U.S. and British instruments.

Over the final days of the month, earlier trends resurfaced and much of the Japan related loss was recaptured, but with positions lowered, especially in equities, the quarter finished slightly negative.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION – 2010

Three months ended June 30, 2010
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, losses from trading stock index futures, currency forwards, energy futures, and to a lesser extent metal and agricultural commodity futures well outpaced the significant gains from trading interest rate futures.

 
36

 

While the quarter started on a positive note, several significant events in May, including the European debt crisis, the May 6 “flash crash”, weaker economic data from China, the sinking of a South Korea naval vessel, and the BP oil leak, triggered abrupt price moves and trend reversals that resulted in a sizable loss for the Master Fund, and ushered in a plethora of uncertainties that produced further erosion in Net Asset Value during June. Market participants wondered: Is inflation or deflation to be feared? Is growth slowing temporarily or are we facing the second leg of a double-dip recession? Will government fiscal policies focus on supporting aggregate demand or on reducing deficits and borrowing? How will changes in financial regulations worldwide impact business growth potential? How will the developed nations’ sovereign debt crisis play out? In this environment, risk aversion, that had been absent in the prior two months, resurfaced unexpectedly in May and June. Consequently, equity prices declined, commodity prices weakened, which put pressure on commodity and growth oriented currencies, and safe haven funds flowed into precious metals and into U.S., German, British and Japanese government securities.
 
The Master Fund entered the quarter with long positions in most stock index futures and, therefore, suffered losses from the global equity market sell-off as measured by the abrupt 15% drop in the MSCI World Equity Index that occurred between late April and late May. Losses were broad-based and sustained from trading of U.S., European, Asian and South African indices.
 
Short U.S. dollar positions versus the growth oriented and commodity currencies of Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Russia, India, Mexico, Singapore, Turkey, South Africa and Korea produced losses as traders reduced risky trades and sought safe haven U.S. dollars. A long U.S. dollar position versus the euro was profitable. Non-U.S. dollar cross rate trading was almost flat for the quarter.
 
Long positions in commodities were dealt a blow by weakened worldwide growth prospects. For example, in May alone, the S&P GSCI Total Return Index, an unleveraged long only commodity index, was down 13.2%.
 
The energy sector was particularly hard hit, and long positions in Brent and WTI crude, heating oil, gas oil and reformulated gasoline blendstock (RBOB) were unprofitable. Crude inventories were already high, particularly in the U.S., and currency and economic growth problems were enough to trigger a significant price drop.

Except for gold and silver which benefited from the flight to safety, long positions in metals were unprofitable. Long positions in copper, nickel, aluminum and platinum (which traded like an industrial metal in May and June) generated losses.
 
Trading of agricultural and soft commodities was unprofitable. In the grain sector, a short canola position sustained a loss as news of harvest shortage drove the price up about 11% during June. According to the Canadian Canola Growers Association, Canada may harvest almost two million metric tons less canola than last year and exports may drop after floods reduced seeding and excessive moisture stressed the plants. Also, prices of corn and various categories of wheat found support due to weather developments, leading to losses from short positions. Short positions in coffee and sugar, and long positions in cotton, rubber and palm oil generated losses. Meanwhile, a long position in cocoa was profitable as demand is outstripping supply for the fourth consecutive year and the weaker British pound has boosted the sterling-denominated benchmark cocoa contract.

Three months ended March 31, 2010
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, profits from trading interest rate, energy, grain and metal futures and forward currency contracts, well outpaced the fractional losses sustained from trading equity, soft commodity and livestock futures.
 
At the start of the year the sustainability and robustness of incipient global growth was called into question amid signs that monetary policy was becoming less accommodative in China, India and other countries which had led the recovery. Worries that fiscal stimulus in the developed world was winding down also weighed on growth prospects as did the looming Greek fiscal crisis. Near quarter-end however, a string of positive economic statistics caused the outlook for economic expansion to brighten somewhat.
 
Against this background, interest rates eased and long positions in U.S., British and European note, bond and short-term interest rate futures were profitable. On the other hand, short positions in Australian interest rate futures were profitable as the Reserve Bank of Australia continued to tighten policy to ward off feared inflation.
 
The burgeoning budget crisis in Greece weighed on the euro throughout the quarter and short euro positions relative to the Australian and New Zealand dollars, Hungarian forint, Polish zloty and Turkish lira were profitable. More generally, long positions in high yielding and commodity currencies—Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars—versus a variety of currencies were profitable. The U.S. dollar was not as weak as the euro but it did lose ground to the currencies of Australia, Canada, India, Colombia, Korea, Mexico and South Africa, producing profits from long positions in these currencies.
 
Equity trading was marginally negative although performance during the quarter and across countries was quite disparate. Losses in January and February reflected the weaker economic outlook and signs of policy tightening. March gains based on improving economic statistics largely offset those losses. By country, long positions in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada and parts of Europe were profitable, while long positions in Asia, Spain, Italy, Australia, Mexico and South Africa were unprofitable.
 
Natural gas continued to be in a bear market as increasing supplies from shale gas met decreasing demand and short natural gas futures positions were quite profitable. Elsewhere in the energy complex, prices moved higher and long positions in crude oil products were somewhat profitable.

In the metals sector, gains from long nickel and aluminum positions modestly outweighed losses from long copper and zinc positions and a short lead trade.
 
Deflation was the story in agricultural markets. Profits on short positions in corn and wheat outweighed losses on long positions in the soybean complex, cocoa and sugar where forecasts of large sugar harvests accelerated the down-move from record highs.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Neither the Partnership nor the Master Fund engages in off-balance sheet arrangements with other entities.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Neither the Partnership nor the Master Fund enters into contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments of a type that would be typical for an operating company or that would affect its liquidity or capital resources. The Partnership’s sole business, through its investment in the Master Fund, is trading futures and forward contracts, both long (contracts to buy) and short (contacts to sell). All such contracts are settled by offset, not delivery. Substantially all such contracts are for settlement within four months of the trade date and substantially all such contracts are held by the Master Fund for less than four months before being offset or rolled over into new contracts with similar maturities. The financial statements of the Master Fund present a condensed schedule of investments setting forth open futures, forward and other contracts at June 30, 2011.
