OF
 
MA MANAGED FUTURES FUND, LP
 
 
$50,000,000.00 CLASS A, CLASS C, AND CLASS I, COLLECTIVELY
 
 
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS
 
The Offering
 
 
     MA Managed Futures Fund, LP (the “Fund”), a Delaware limited partnership, is offering three separate classes of limited partnership units (the “Units”), designated Class A, Class C, and Class I, in an aggregate offering amount of up to $50,000,000.00, collectively for all Classes. Class C is further divided into four series: Series I, Series II, Series III, and Series IV. Each investor will receive a Schedule K-1 reporting their allocable share of partnership tax items each year for income tax purposes. The primary objective of MA Managed Futures Fund, LP is to seek appreciation of its assets over time by implementing its futures trading program as well as by investing in a portfolio of managed futures funds and managed futures accounts which, in turn, invest in a wide array of futures products. The three Classes invest in a single portfolio, and the assets and liabilities of each Class are not segregated from the assets and liabilities of the other Classes.
 
     Selling agents selected by MA Capital Management, LLC, the general partner of the Fund, including U.S. Financial Investments, Inc. (CRD# 120804), are offering the Units for an initial capital contribution period scheduled to end at 5:00 p.m. in New York, NY on  , subject to extension for up to 3 months. After the initial offering period, capital contributions will be accepted as of the last day of each month. In each case, Units will be purchased at their current net asset value after deduction of any front-end sales load. The selling agents will use their best efforts to locate investors for the Fund but are not required to meet any predetermined total capital contribution amount. The offering of the Units will terminate on September 30, 2015.
 
    If the total amount registered pursuant to this offering is sold, the proceeds to MA Managed Futures Fund, LP will be as follows:

 
Proceeds to MA Managed Futures Fund, LP

Per Unit ($1,000/Unit)
If all Units sold are Class I Units

If all Units sold are Class A Units

$950.00
If all Units sold are Class C Series I Units

$49,979,166.66
$999.58
If all Units sold are Class C Series IV Units
$50,000,000.00
$1,000.00

    During the initial capital contribution period, all Class A, Class C, and Class I Units will be sold at a price of $1,000 per Unit. Thereafter, due to the performance of the Fund, the prices of the Class A, Class C, and Class I Units will fluctuate according to their net asset value. Therefore, any Units sold after the initial capital contribution period will be sold at their current net asset value, which may be higher or lower than $1,000, to be determined at the time of such sale by the Fund’s transfer agent, Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC. Investors will be notified of the current net asset value of the Units prior to their execution of the Fund’s Subscription Agreement and will also be notified of the final Unit price determined as of the month-end closing date of their subscription to the Fund after such determination is made by the Fund’s transfer agent.

 
 

 
    Investors should note that there are volume discounts for Class A Units; please see please see the “Sales Compensation subsection under the “Charges” section, below.
 
     Contribution proceeds will be deposited in the Fund’s account at Huntington National Bank until the Fund commences operations; the Fund must reach a capitalization of $5,000,000 prior to commencing operations.
 
The General Partner
 
     MA Capital Management, LLC, a professional futures trading advisor, serves as the general partner and commodity pool operator of MA Managed Futures Fund, LP (the “General Partner”). The General Partner is registered as a commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
 
Minimum Investment
 
     The minimum initial capital contribution for Class A and Class C Units is $5,000 and the minimum capital contribution for Class I Units is $1,000,000.  The minimum additional capital contribution for each Class of Units is $1,000.
 
The Risks
 
 
     These limited partnership Units are speculative securities. You could lose all or substantially all of your investment in the Fund. Before you decide whether to invest, read this entire prospectus carefully and consider “THE RISKS YOU FACE” on page 14.
 
 
 
The Fund has not yet commenced operations and thus has no performance history.
       
 
 
The General Partner’s investment program and the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests are speculative and leveraged. The General Partner’s trading program, as well as the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts, will acquire positions with face amounts substantially greater than their total equity. Leverage magnifies the impact of both gains and losses.
       
 
 
Performance is expected to be volatile; the net asset value of an investor’s Units may fluctuate significantly in a single month.
       
 
 
The General Partner anticipates that approximately 90% of the Fund’s assets will be managed by third party sub-advisors to the Fund or invested in managed futures funds which are themselves managed by commodity pool operators unaffiliated with the General Partner. These third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators will control the investment programs of each managed futures account and managed futures fund, respectively, in which the Fund invests. Therefore, the Fund’s performance will, to a certain extent, depend on the skill and acumen of such third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators and their ability to successfully implement their trading programs. As of the date of this Prospectus, no agreements have been signed with any third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds although the Fund has completed due diligence and tentatively selected eleven third party sub-adviser programs and managed futures funds in which the Fund anticipates investing. The ultimate terms of such investments will be negotiated after the Fund commences capital raising, but prior to the Fund committing capital to such programs and managed futures funds. Upon execution, the terms of such agreements will be made publicly available to investors except to the extent such agreements are protected, in whole or in part, by confidentiality treatment as determined by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
       
 
 
After each calendar year each investor in the Fund will receive a Schedule K-1 reporting such investor’s share of partnership tax items for income tax purposes. This form is expected to be available prior to April 15 each year following the taxable year it relates to; however, if there were a delay in making Schedule K-1’s available, it could be more difficult for investors to complete their tax returns in a timely fashion. Additionally, investors who seek advice from tax advisors with respect to their Schedule K-1 may incur additional costs in the form of fees.
 
 
 
There is no secondary market for the Fund’s Units. You may withdraw from the Fund only as of a month-end. Transfers of Units are subject to limitations.
       
 
 
You will sustain losses if the substantial expenses of the Fund are not offset by investment gains and interest income.
 
     To invest, you will be required to represent and warrant, among other things, that you have received a copy of this Prospectus and that you satisfy the minimum net worth and income requirements for residents of your state to invest in the Fund. You are encouraged to discuss your investment decision with your individual financial, tax, and legal advisers.
 
 
 

 
 
     The Fund is an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and will therefore be subject to reduced public reporting requirements.
 
     Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
 
    The Fund is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the investor protections and regulations applicable to registered investment companies will not apply to the Fund.
 
    This Prospectus is in two parts: a disclosure document and a statement of additional information. These parts are bound together, and both contain important information.

SUMMARY
 
 
General
 
     MA Managed Futures Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership formed in October 2011 (the “Fund”), is offering three classes of limited partnership units (“Units”): Class A, Class C (divided into four series: Series I, Series II, Series III, and Series IV), and Class I (each, a “Class”). Each Class invests in the Fund’s futures trading portfolio, as well as the Fund’s portfolio of managed futures funds and managed futures accounts, each selected by MA Capital Management, LLC, the general partner and commodity pool operator of the Fund (the “General Partner”).
 
    For break-even analysis purposes, investments in the Fund will be calculated in terms of the minimum investment to each Class: $5,000 each for Class A and Class C Units, and $1,000,000 for Class I Units. At this price and after taking into account the estimated costs and fees applicable to the Fund, two break-even scenarios were created for the Fund.

    In the first scenario, an assumption is made that the Fund operates with the minimum capitalization needed to commence operations ($5,000,000) for its first twelve (12) calendar months of operations; under this assumption, the break-even point for the Fund twelve months after an investment is a return of $745.64 or 14.91% or $532.22 or 10.64% for Class A and Class C Units, respectively, and a return of $88,150.40 or 8.81% for Class I Units.  This scenario further assumes that the Fund’s total assets under management remains at $5,000,000 for the first year of the Fund’s operations.

   In the second scenario, an assumption is made for break-even purposes that the Fund operates with an average capitalization of $50,000,000 for its first twelve (12) calendar months of operations; under this assumption, the break-even point for the Fund after twelve months after an investment is a return of $609.62 or 12.19% or $396.21 or 7.92% for Class A and Class C Units, respectively, and a return of $60,949.18 or 6.09% for Class I Units. To the extent that the Fund falls short of this capitalization amount, a higher break-even point than that provided in the second break-even calculation scenario would result.
 
Investment Program
 
     The Fund will invest approximately 97% of its assets in exchange-traded futures contracts, options on futures, and off-exchange retail foreign currencies by implementing its own futures trading program as well as by investing in managed futures funds and managed futures accounts managed by third party commodity pool operators and third party sub-advisors. Approximately 10% of the 97% of the Fund’s assets committed to exchange-traded futures contracts, options on futures, and off-exchange retail foreign currencies will be managed “in house” by the General Partner. The remainder, or approximately 90% of the 97% of the Fund’s assets committed to trading the above assets, will be managed by third party sub-advisers or invested in other managed futures funds.
 
     The General Partner will exclusively trade futures contracts and options on futures contracts. The General Partner will not trade foreign currencies of any kind, although the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests will do so. Neither the General Partner, nor the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund will invest, will trade in swaps subject to CFTC regulation, or foreign exchange swaps and/or foreign exchange forwards (as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act) which are exempted from the definition of “swap” in accordance with the Commodity Exchange Act.
 
     The futures contracts the Fund will trade will consist of 8 asset classes: stock indices (United States: S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones; European: DAX, CAC 40, FTSE; and Asia: Hang Seng, Nikkei), bonds (US Treasury bonds, Australian bonds, UK bonds, etc.), currencies (USD/AUD, USD/CAD, USD/CHF, USD/EUR, USD/GBP, USD/JPY, USD/MXN, USD/NOK, USD/NZD, USD/SEK and US dollar indexes), real estate (Case-Shiller Home Index), energy (crude oil, natural gas, heating oil, coal, electricity, ethanol, etc.), metals (gold, silver, platinum, copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel, uranium, etc.), weather
 
 
1

 
(temperature, hurricanes, snowfall, rainfall), and agricultural commodities (orange juice, coffee, cotton, sugar, cocoa, wheat, corn, soybeans, rapeseed, rice, palm oil, live cattle, lean hogs, rubber, etc.). The off-exchange foreign currency contracts the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund will invest may trade include: USD/AUD, USD/CAD, USD/CHF, USD/EUR, USD/GBP, USD/JPY, USD/MXN, USD/NOK, USD/NZD, USD/SEK. The Fund will not trade futures contracts for individual securities.
 
     When investing in futures contracts, the Fund will utilize United States futures markets, including: the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME); the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT); the Commodity Exchange (COMEX); and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The Fund’s currency trading will be conducted using exchange-traded futures and forward contracts and, to a lesser extent, spot forex markets.
 
The General Partner
 
     MA Capital Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, serves as the general partner and commodity pool operator of the Fund and is responsible for the management and administration of the Fund. The General Partner’s offices, and the office of the Fund where its books and records will be kept, are located at 4440 PGA Boulevard, Suite 600, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410.
 
     The General Partner is registered as a commodity pool operator with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as of October 31,2011 and is also a commodity trading advisor registered with the CFTC as of August 17, 2010. The General Partner was also registered as a Forex Firm as of September 10, 2012. The General Partner is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) as of August 17, 2010. The Managing Partner of the General Partner is Monty Agarwal, Mark Stephan serves as a portfolio manager of the General Partner, Cheryl Nyusa serves as the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Compliance Officer of the General Partner, and Zinovia Spezakis serves as a Partner of the General Partner. The General Partner reserves the right to add additional personnel in the future.
 
     The past performance disclosures of the General Partner may be found beginning on page 13.
 
     The General Partner is a professional futures trading advisor. The General Partner intends to delegate certain administrative functions, including calculation of the Fund’s net asset value to NAV Consulting, Inc., a major fund administration firm. Certain Fund records will be located at the offices of NAV Consulting Inc. at 2625 Butterfield Road, Suite 208W, Oak Brook, IL 60523. The General Partner also intends to delegate certain transfer agent duties, including the calculation of the net asset value of each Class and Series of Units and the distribution of reports to investors, to Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC. Certain Fund records will be located at the offices of Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC at 8000 Town Centre Drive, Suite 400, Broadview Heights, OH 44147.
 
     Monty Agarwal, a principal of the General Partner, has contributed $3,000 to the capital of the Fund as the “Initial Limited Partner.” This amount is in addition to the total capital contribution amount offered by this Prospectus. Monty Agarwal will maintain an investment in the Fund of at least $3,000, but may withdraw any excess above such level in the Fund at any month-end.
 
The Offering
 
MA Capital Management LLC will select one or more selling agents, including U.S. Financial Investments, Inc. (CRD# 120804), who will offer the Units of the Fund for an initial capital contribution period scheduled to end at 5:00 p.m. in New York, NY on  , subject to extension for up to 3 months. After the initial capital contribution period, capital contributions will be continuously accepted as of the last day of each month until the offering of the Units terminates on September 30, 2015. Units will be purchased at their current net asset value after deduction of any front-end sales load. The selling agents will use their best efforts to locate investors for the Fund but are not required to meet any predetermined total capital contribution amount. Capital contribution proceeds will be deposited in the Fund’s account at Huntington National Bank until the Fund commences operations, with all income from such deposits paid to the Fund. The Fund is required to reach a capitalization of $5,000,000 prior to beginning trading and, thereafter, no capital contribution amount must be raised as of the end of any month and the Fund does not need to maintain any minimum capitalization level to continue operations.

If the total amount registered pursuant to this offering is contributed, the proceeds to MA Managed Futures Fund, LP will be as follows: $50,000,000 if all Units sold are Class I Units; $47,500,000 if all Units sold are Class A Units; $49,250,000 if all Units sold are Class C Units (assuming all Class C Units sold are of Series I, which pays the highest sales fee), or; some figure between $47,500,000 and $50,000,000 if some combination of the Classes of Units is sold. Investors should note that the selling agents will be deemed statutory underwriters of the Fund. As of the date of this Prospectus, only U.S. Financial Investments, Inc. has been retained as a selling agent by the General Partner.
 
Minimum Investment & Unit Net Asset Value Calculation
 
          The minimum initial capital contribution for Class A Units and Class C Units is $5,000. The minimum initial capital contribution for Class I Units is $1,000,000. The minimum additional capital contribution for Class A Units, Class C Units, and Class I Units is $1,000.
 
 
          The transfer agent of the Fund, Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC is responsible for calculating the net asset value of each Class of Units, including each Series of Class C. To determine the net asset value of each Unit, the transfer agent takes the net asset value of each Class and divides it by the number of Units in such Class, provided that, in the case of Class C Units, the transfer agent divides the net asset value of each Class C Series by the number of Units in such Series. To determine the value of the Limited Partner’s investment in the Fund as of any date, the net asset value of the Class A, Class C, and/or Class I Units, as applicable, is multiplied by the number of Units the Limited Partner owns. The number of Units a Limited Partner owns will be increased by additional capital contributions and decreased by withdrawals.
 
Major Risks of the Fund
 
 
 
An investment in the Fund is a speculative investment. You must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of your investment.
       
 
 
The Fund is newly formed and thus has no performance history. The past performance of the General Partner’s managed futures program is not necessarily indicative of the future results of the Fund.
 
 
 
The General Partner’s trading program, as well as the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests, are speculative and leveraged. The General Partner’s trading program, as well as the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts, will acquire positions with face amounts substantially greater than their total equity. Leverage magnifies the impact of both gains and losses.
       
 
 
The Fund’s performance is expected to be volatile; the net asset value of the Fund and each Unit therein may fluctuate significantly in a single month.
       
 
 
Third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators will control the investment programs of each managed futures account and managed futures fund in which the Fund invests. Therefore, the Fund’s performance will depend, to a certain extent, on the skill and acumen of such third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators and their ability to successfully implement their trading programs.
       
 
 
There is no secondary market for the Fund’s Units. You may withdraw from the Fund only as of a calendar month-end. Transfers of Units are subject to limitations as described herein.
       
 
 
The Units will sustain losses if the substantial expenses of the Fund are not offset by investment gains and interest income.
       
 
 
The Fund is subject to numerous conflicts of interest as described herein.

Investment Considerations
 
 
 
The Fund will implement its own futures trading program as well as invest in managed futures funds and managed futures accounts managed by third party commodity pool operators and third party sub-advisors. Accordingly, the performance of the Fund will depend on the investment performance of the Fund’s trading program as well as such third party commodity pool operators and sub-advisors. The Fund may not retain sub-advisors or invest in managed futures funds which are managed or advised by persons related to the General Partner or its Principals.
       
 
 
The General Partner utilizes fundamental analysis in selecting the managed futures funds and accounts in which it will invest the Fund’s assets. Decisions to select managed futures funds and retain third party sub-advisors made by the General Partner are discretionary and thus involve human emotional responses to communications with third party commodity pool operators and sub-advisors, changing market conditions, and other factors outside the General Partner’s control.
       
 
 
An investment in the Fund has the potential to help diversify an investor’s traditional securities portfolios. A diverse portfolio consisting of assets that perform in an unrelated manner, or non-correlated assets, may increase overall return and/or reduce the volatility (a widely used measure of risk) of a traditional portfolio of stocks and bonds. However, for a non-correlated asset to increase a traditional portfolio’s overall returns, the non-correlated asset must outperform either stocks or bonds over the period being measured.  There can be no assurance that the Fund will outperform other sectors of an investor’s portfolio or not produce losses.
 
 
 
The Fund will hold that portion of its assets traded in the Fund’s futures trading program or invested in managed futures accounts (including those assets used as margin deposits for trading activities) in U.S. government securities and/or interest-bearing deposit accounts. Accordingly, the Fund, in addition to its potential to profit from its investment operations, will earn interest on all or almost all of its assets deposited in such accounts.
 
Limited Liability
 
     Investors cannot lose more than the amount of their investments and undistributed gains, if any. Thus, investors receive the advantage of limited liability in a leveraged trading vehicle.
 
Withdrawals, Distributions, Transfers, and Exchanges
 
     The Fund is intended to be a medium- to long-term (i.e., 3 to 5-year) investment. However, monthly withdrawals are permitted, without penalty or any charge, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the General Partner or Mutual Shareholder Services (the Fund’s transfer agent). Withdrawal proceeds will be paid in U.S. dollars. Due to the availability of monthly withdrawals, the General Partner does not intend to make any distributions, and the investment gains of the Fund, if any, will be reinvested in the Fund.
 
Charges to the Fund and each Unit
 
     The Fund’s fees and charges are substantial and must be offset by investment gains and interest income in order to avoid depletion of the Fund’s assets. The fees and expenses applicable to the Fund and each Unit therein are as follows:
 
          The General Partner
 
 
 
The Fund is charged a one percent (1%) annual management fee (1/12 of 1% payable monthly in advance) of the net assets of the Fund. The management fee will be allocated proportionally to each Limited Partner according to the Class and Series of Units such Limited Partner holds.
       
 
 
The Fund is also charged an incentive allocation equal to ten percent (10%) of the Fund’s new appreciation, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, for each fiscal quarter. New appreciation is the increase in the Fund’s net asset value, after adjusting for capital contributions and withdrawals, since the last time an incentive allocation was paid or, if no incentive allocation has been paid, since the Fund commenced trading operations. As “new appreciation” will take into account capital contributions and withdrawals, any changes in the Fund’s net asset value due to contributions and withdrawals will be ignored for purposes of determining the increase in the Fund’s net asset value. The incentive allocation will be allocated proportionally to each Limited Partner according to the Class and Series of Units such Limited Partner holds. Please see “Charges to be Paid by the Fund and Each Unit Therein — Incentive Allocation” for a more detailed discussion of new appreciation and the incentive allocation.
 
 
4

 
          Third Party Sub-Advisors and Managed Futures Fund Fees
 
 
 
The Fund may be charged a management fee of up to two percent (2%) of the actual (as opposed to notional) net assets of the Fund managed by a third party sub-advisor or invested in a managed futures fund, payable to such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund at such regular intervals, either in arrears or in advance, as the General Partner and such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund may agree.
       
 
 
The Fund may also be charged an incentive fee of up to twenty percent (20%) of the new appreciation, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, attributable to the Fund’s assets managed by a third party sub-advisor or invested in a managed futures fund on such schedule as the General Partner and such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund may agree. New appreciation is the increase in the net asset value of the assets managed by such third party sub-advisor or invested in a managed futures fund since the last time an incentive fee was paid or, if no incentive fee has been paid, since the Fund’s allocation of assets to such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund, in each case adjusted for additional capital contributions and withdrawals; the initial net asset value of the Fund’s assets managed by a third party sub-advisor or invested in a managed futures fund is equal to the total net assets allocated by the Fund to such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund. As incentive fees paid to third party sub-advisors or managed futures funds do not take into account the overall net gains or losses of the Fund and each Limited Partner’s investment therein, the Fund, and one or more Limited Partners in turn, may be assessed third party sub-advisor and managed futures fund incentive fees at a time when the overall net asset value of the Fund and one or more Limited Partners’ Units have decreased (although the General Partner may not be entitled to an incentive allocation in such a situation).
 
          Selling Agents and Others
       
 
 
Investors in Class A Units will pay a front-end sales load on each capital contribution to the Fund equal to the following schedule: for capital contributions of less than $50,000: 5.0%; less than $100,000 but at least $50,000: 4.0%; less than $250,000 but at least $100,000: 3.0%; less than $500,000 but at least $250,000: 2.5%; less than $750,000 but at least $500,000: 2.0%; less than $1,000,000 but at least $750,000: 1.5%; at least $1,000,000: no front-end sales load. The front-end sales load will reduce the number of Class A Units purchased. Payments of front-end sales loads may be made directly to third party selling agents or may be paid indirectly through payment to the Fund, which then forwards the front-end sales load to the selling agent. The General Partner may waive the front-end sales load for any Class A Limited Partner.
 
Class C Units will be sold in four different Series according to the total capital contributions (less any withdrawals) made by the Limited Partner holding such Class C Units: for contributions of less than $100,000, Series I; for contributions less than $500,000 but at least $100,000, Series II; for contributions less than $1,000,000 but at least $500,000, Series III; for contributions of at least $1,000,000, Series IV. Class C Units will pay an annual sales fee according to their respective Series equal to the following schedule: for Series I: 1.5%; for Series II, 1.0%; for Series III, 0.5%; for Series IV, no annual sales fee. The annual sales fee is charged monthly in advance as of the first day of each calendar month. The annual sales fee will be treated as an expense and will be charged to Class C Units in perpetuity. To the extent additional capital contributions or withdrawals by a Limited Partner would make such Limited Partner eligible for Units of another Series, all of the Class C Units held by such Partner will be exchanged for Units of the new Series at the current net asset values of the Units of the respective Class C Series. Payments of annual sales fee may be made directly to third party selling agents or may be paid indirectly through payment to the Fund, which then forwards the annual sales fee to the selling agent. The General Partner may waive the annual sales fee for any Class C Limited Partner.
       
     
Investors in Class I Units are not subject to front-end sales loads or annual sales fees.

The Fund itself may be charged sales loads or other commissions or fees by brokers for, or advisers of, the managed futures funds or managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests. Each Partner in the Fund will indirectly bear these commissions or fees. Additionally, in the case of the Fund’s trading program and the managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests, brokerage fees will be incurred by the Fund in the course of the General Partner or third party sub-adviser pursuing their respective investment programs on the Fund’s behalf. In the case of the Fund’s investment in a managed futures fund, the Fund will bear its pro rata share of the managed futures fund’s expenses, including brokerage fees. Regardless of whether incurred by the Fund’s trading program, its managed futures accounts, or the managed futures funds in which the Fund invests, such brokerage fees and expenses are estimated to amount to approximately 1.00% of the average month-end net assets per year allocated by the Fund to such program, accounts, or funds.
 
 
 
Actual operating and ongoing offering expenses (including the costs of updating this Prospectus and increasing the maximum amount of Units for sale to the public), such as legal, auditing, administration, escrow, printing, and postage costs, are estimated to be 0.50% of average month-end net assets per year of the Fund. The General Partner will assume liability for operating expenses in excess of 1.00% of average month-end net assets per year of the Fund.
 
 
 
The Fund will bear, without reimbursement, its organizational and initial offering costs (other than sales commissions). Such costs are estimated to total approximately $130,605.
 
     Break-Even Analysis
 
     The following tables show the fees and expenses that an investor would incur on a minimum initial capital contribution to the Fund for each Class of Units and the amount that such investment must earn to break even after one year. The Break-Even Analysis has been performed under two scenarios:
 
The first set of break-even tables were created under the assumption that the Fund receives the minimum capital contributions required to begin trading, or $5,000,000. This scenario further assumes that the Fund’s total assets under management remains at $5,000,000 for the first year of the Fund’s operations.
 
The second set of break-even tables were created under the assumption that the Fund has an average minimum net asset value of $50,000,000 for the first year of the Fund’s operations (the total amount offered pursuant to this Prospectus).
 
The fees estimated using these assumptions and shown below will be significantly overestimated or underestimated if the average net asset value of the Fund during its first year is significantly more than $5,000,000 or less than $50,000,000, respectively. The break-even analysis is an approximation only.

60,949.18
 
 
The foregoing break-even analyses are approximations only and assume a constant net asset value ($5,000 with respect to Class A and Class C or $1,000,000 with respect to Class I) during the first year of an investor’s investment in the Fund.
 
     
(1)
 
The Fund is charged a one percent (1%) annual management fee (1/12 of 1% payable monthly in advance) of the net assets of the Fund, payable to the General Partner.
 
(2)
 
The Fund is charged an incentive allocation equal to ten percent (10%) of the Fund’s new appreciation, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, for each fiscal quarter. New appreciation is the increase in the Fund’s net asset value, after adjusting for capital contributions and withdrawals, since the last time an incentive allocation was paid or, if no incentive allocation has been paid, since the Fund commenced trading operations. As “new appreciation” will take into account capital contributions and withdrawals, any changes in the Fund’s net asset value due to contributions and withdrawals will be ignored for purposes of determining the increase in the Fund’s net asset value. The incentive allocation will be allocated proportionally to each Limited Partner according to the Class and Series of Units such Limited Partner holds. No incentive allocation to the General Partner will be charged to the Fund until break-even costs are met for the Fund. However, because the General Partner’s incentive allocation is payable quarterly, and the General Partner is not obligated to return incentive allocations once earned, it is possible for the General Partner to earn an incentive allocation during a break-even or losing year for the Fund if, after payment of an incentive allocation, the Fund incurs losses resulting in a break-even or losing year. It is impossible to predict what incentive allocations, if any, could be paid during a break-even or losing year for the Fund, thus none is shown.
     
(3)
 
The Fund may be charged a management fee of up to two percent (2%) of the actual (as opposed to notional) net assets of the Fund managed by a third party sub-advisor or invested in a managed futures fund, payable at such regular intervals, either in arrears or in advance, as the General Partner and such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund may agree. The General Partner estimates that approximately 90% of the Fund’s assets will be managed by third party sub-advisors or invested in managed futures funds. For purposes of this break-even calculation, the most conservative management fee figure of 2% of actual funding has been used. Therefore, the calculation under the second scenario is as follows: ($50,000,000 X 90%) X (2%) = $900,000 per year of third party sub-advisor and managed futures fund management fees paid by the Fund.

The Fund may also be charged an incentive fee of up to twenty percent (20%) of the new appreciation, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, attributable to the Fund’s assets managed by a third party sub-advisor or invested in a managed futures fund on such schedule as the General Partner and such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund may agree. New appreciation is the increase in the net asset value of the assets managed by such third party sub-advisor or invested in such managed futures fund since the last time an incentive fee was paid or, if no incentive fee has been paid, since the Fund’s allocation of assets to such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund; the initial net asset value of the Fund’s assets managed by a third party sub-advisor or invested in a managed futures fund is equal to the total net assets allocated by the Fund to such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund. No incentive fees will be paid to a third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund until the loss carryforward provisions applicable to the Fund’s investment are satisfied. However, as there may be multiple third party sub-advisors or managed futures funds retained by the Fund at any time, it is possible that the loss carryforward provisions protecting the assets managed by a particular third party sub-advisor or invested in a particular managed futures fund could be met, and the Fund would be obligated to pay such third party sub-

advisor or managed futures fund an incentive fee, at a time when the Fund has experienced net losses. As third party sub-adviser and managed futures fund incentive fees may be paid regardless of whether the Fund overall breaks even in a given year and given that third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds will manage approximately 90% of the Fund’s assets, it is likely that under a break-even scenario, the Fund will pay incentive fees to third party sub-advisors or managed futures funds. For purposes of the above break-even calculations, the incentive fees that would be paid to third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds, assuming that such third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds account for 90% of the Fund’s income or profit and the General Partner accounts for the remaining 10%, under the respective break-even scenarios are provided. Limited Partners should be aware, however, that the actual incentive fees paid to third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds under an actual break-even scenario may differ widely from those figures provided above.

Investors in Class A Units will pay a front-end sales load on each capital contribution to the Fund equal to the following schedule: for capital contributions of less than $50,000: 5.0%; less than $100,000 but at least $50,000: 4.0%; less than $250,000 but at least $100,000: 3.0%; less than $500,000 but at least $250,000: 2.5%; less than $750,000 but at least $500,000: 2.0%; less than $1,000,000 but at least $750,000: 1.5%; at least $1,000,000: no front-end sales load. The front-end sales load will reduce the number of Class A Units purchased. Payments of front-end sales loads may be made directly to third party selling agents or may be paid indirectly through payment to the Fund, which then forwards the front-end sales load to the selling agent. The General Partner may waive the front-end sales load for any Class A Limited Partner.
 
Class C Units will be sold in four different Series according to the total capital contributions (less any withdrawals) made by the Limited Partner holding such Class C Units: for contributions of less than $100,000, Series I; for contributions less than $500,000 but at least $100,000, Series II; for contributions less than $1,000,000 but at least $500,000, Series III; for contributions of at least $1,000,000, Series IV. Class C Units will pay an annual sales fee according to their respective Series equal to the following schedule: for Series I: 1.5%; for Series II, 1.0%; for Series III, 0.5%; for Series IV, no annual sales fee. In the above break-even tables, the sales fee applicable to Series I of Class C Units has been used; Series II, Series III, and Series IV will have lower sales fees and, therefore, a lower break-even point. The annual sales fee is charged monthly in advance as of the first day of each calendar month. The annual sales fee will be treated as an expense and will be charged to Class C Units in perpetuity. To the extent additional capital contributions or withdrawals by a Limited Partner would make such Limited Partner eligible for Units of another Series, all of the Class C Units held by such Partner will be exchanged for Units of the new Series at the current net asset values of the Units of the respective Class C Series. Payments of annual sales fee may be made directly to third party selling agents or may be paid indirectly through payment to the Fund, which then forwards the annual sales fee to the selling agent. The General Partner may waive the annual sales fee for any Class C Limited Partner.
 
Investors in Class I Units are not charged front-end sales loads or annual sales fees.

The Fund will pay its actual operating and ongoing offering expenses (including the costs of updating this Prospectus and increasing the total capital contribution amount available to the public), such as legal, auditing, administration, escrow, printing and postage costs. Additionally, the Fund will bear the operating expenses of the managed futures funds in which it invests. Together, the total operating an ongoing offering expenses of the Fund are estimated to be 0.50% of the average month-end net assets per year of the Fund. The General Partner will assume liability for operating expenses in excess of 1.00% of the average month-end net assets per year of the Fund. For the purpose of the above break-even calculations, the maximum figure (1.00%) has been employed under a “worst-case” scenario.
 
(7)
 
The Fund will pay brokerage fees and commissions in connection with its futures, options, and forward currency trading activities. Additionally, in the case of managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests, brokerage fees will be incurred by the Fund in the course of the third party adviser pursuing their investment program on the Fund’s behalf. Finally, in the case of the Fund’s investment in a managed futures fund, the Fund will bear its pro rata share of the managed futures fund’s expenses, including brokerage fees. Regardless of how incurred, the General Partner estimates that the brokerage fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund will be approximately 1.00% of average month-end net assets per year of the Fund. This amount is an approximation by the General Partner and such fees and expenses may be significantly more or less than 1.00% on an annual basis.

The Fund will bear, without reimbursement, its organizational and initial offering costs (other than sales commissions). Such costs are estimated to total $130,605, including $6,715 in organizational and $123,890 in offering costs. The organizational costs will be expensed upon the commencement of the Fund’s operations and the offering costs will be amortized over the first 12 months of the Fund’s operations.
 
 (9)
 
The Fund will earn interest income on the money left over after all margin requirements are met, which will be directly dependent on the Fund’s capitalization. The General Partner estimates that at a capitalization of $5,000,000, approximately 5% of the Fund’s money will be earning interest and that at a capitalization of $50,000,000, approximately 50% of the Fund’s money will be earning interest. If interest income earned is less than estimated, the Fund will have to earn investment profits greater than the amounts shown to cover its costs. Actual interest to be earned by the Fund will be at the prevailing rates for the period being measured which may be less than or greater than the 1.00% rate used in these break-even calculations over any twelve month period.
     
Federal Income Tax Aspects
 
     The Fund will be a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, investors will be taxed each year on the income attributable to their Units whether or not they make a withdrawal from the Fund or receive distributions from the Fund.
 
     To the extent the Fund’s trading program, managed futures funds, or managed futures accounts invest in futures, gain or loss on such investments will, depending on the contracts traded, consist of a mixture of: 1) ordinary income or loss; and/or 2) capital gain or loss. Forty percent (40%) of trading profits, if any, on U.S. exchange-traded futures contracts are taxed as short-term capital gains at ordinary income rates and the remaining sixty percent (60%) is taxed as long-term capital gains at a lower maximum rate for individuals. Trading gains or losses from other contracts will be primarily short-term capital gains or losses, and interest income is taxed at ordinary income rates.
 
     For non-corporate investors, capital losses may be deducted against capital gains but may only be deducted against ordinary income to the extent of $3,000 per year. Therefore, investors could pay tax on their share of the Fund’s interest income even though such investor’s Units have decreased in net asset value.
 
Is MA Managed Futures Fund, LP a Suitable Investment for You?
 
     The primary objective of MA Managed Futures Fund, LP is to seek appreciation of its assets over time by investing in the General Partner’s trading program as well as a portfolio of managed futures funds and managed futures accounts, each of which invest in a wide array of futures products. An investment in the Fund may fit within your portfolio allocation strategy if you are interested in the Fund’s potential to produce returns generally unrelated to traditional securities investments.
 
     An investment in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The Fund is not a complete investment program. The General Partner offers Units in the Fund as a diversification opportunity for an investor’s entire investment portfolio, and therefore an investment in the Fund should only be a limited portion of the investor’s portfolio. To invest, you must, at a minimum, have:
 
          (1) a net worth of at least $250,000, exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles; or
 
          (2) a net worth, similarly calculated, of at least $70,000 and an annual gross income of at least $70,000.
 
     Some jurisdictions in which the Fund’s Units are offered impose higher minimum suitability standards on prospective investors. These suitability standards are, in each case, regulatory minimums only, and merely because you meet such standards does not mean that an investment in the Fund is suitable for you. You should not invest more than 10% of your net worth, exclusive of home, furnishings, and automobiles, in MA Managed Futures Fund, LP.

Capital Contribution Procedure
 
     To invest in the Fund, you must complete and sign the Subscription Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B, and deliver it to your selling agent at least five business days prior to the applicable month-end closing date. Payment instructions are included with the Subscription Agreement. Subscription Agreements deemed valid and complete by the General Partner will be accepted, within five business days of receipt of a capital contribution, once payment proceeds have been received and cleared. Investors’ purchases will be confirmed by their selling agents, generally within five business days after the applicable month-end closing. The General Partner will notify investors of, and will return, rejected capital contributions within five business days following the applicable month-end closing or sooner if practicable. No interest is earned while capital contributions are being processed. See “Plan of Distribution.”
 
Inception of Trading
 
     The minimum initial capital contribution to the Fund by Limited Partners investing in Class A and Class C Units is $5,000; the minimum initial capital contribution to the Fund by Limited Partners investing in Class I Units is $1,000,000. Monty Agarwal, Principal of the General Partner, has invested $3,000 in the Fund and at all times will maintain at least $3,000 invested in the Fund. The Fund must be funded with at least $5,000,000 in capital contributions before it may begin trading activities. The maximum contribution amount that may be contributed to the Fund is currently $50,000,000. The General Partner may hold Limited Partners’ funds prior to the commencement of the Fund’s trading activities; all capital contributions may be deposited with the Fund’s FCM or in the Fund’s bank account(s). Any interest income paid on such deposits shall accrue to the Fund.
 
Reports
 
     The General Partner will provide Limited Partners with monthly account statements in accordance with CFTC Regulation 4.22(b). In addition, the General Partner will provide Limited Partners with year-end audited financial statements as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year (beginning with fiscal year 2013), but in no case later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, including a statement of profit or loss for such fiscal year.  The Fund’s financial statements will be prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America (“GAAP”). The General Partner shall be empowered to make any changes of accounting method that it shall deem advisable.
 
     Commodity Futures Trading Commission Rules require that this Prospectus be accompanied by summary financial information, which may be a recent monthly report of the Fund, current within 60 calendar days.

THE RISKS YOU FACE
 
The Fund Is Speculative; You Could Lose All or Substantially All of Your Investment in the Fund
 
     An investment in the Fund is a speculative investment. You will be relying on the General Partner to implement the Fund’s trading program as well as invest the Fund’s assets in managed futures funds and accounts, which cannot be assured. Consequently, you could lose all or substantially all of your investment in the Fund.
 
The Fund Is a Newly Formed Entity With No Performance History for You to Evaluate When Making a Decision Whether or Not to Invest in the Fund
 
     The Fund is a newly formed entity and thus has no performance history for you to evaluate when making your investment decision. Although past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance, a performance history might provide you with more information upon which to base your investment decision. However, as the Fund has no performance history, you will have to make your investment decision without such information.  The past performance of the General Partner or its affiliates is not necessarily indicative of the future results of the Fund.
 
The Fund Will be Highly Leveraged; Leverage Magnifies Losses as Well as Gains
 
     Leverage may be used by the General Partner in its trading program, as well as by the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests in accordance with their respective organizational documents and trading programs. Because the amount of margin funds necessary to enter into a futures contract or off-exchange retail foreign currency position is typically about 2% to 15% of the total value of the contract, the General Partner’s trading program, as well as the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts, will be able to hold positions with notional, or face, values far greater than their net assets.
 
    By utilizing leverage, the Fund is inherently able to leverage the dollar value of the futures contracts traded; accordingly, the operating profit or loss of the Fund will increase due to the increase in the dollar value of trading by the General Partner’s trading program as well as the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests. As a result of this leveraging, even a small adverse movement in the price of a contract could cause the General Partner’s trading program or a managed futures fund or managed futures account, and therefore the Fund, major and immediate losses. Like other leveraged investments, any trade may result in losses in excess of the amount invested.
 
The Performance of the Fund Is Expected To Be Volatile; Volatile Performance Can Result in Sudden Large Losses
 
     The General Partner expects the performance of the Fund to be volatile. Futures contracts and off-exchange retail foreign currency prices have a high degree of variability and are subject to occasional rapid and substantial changes, and the value of the Fund and each Unit therein may suffer substantial loss from time to time. The net asset value of your Units may change substantially between the date on which you make a capital contribution to the Fund, the date on which you request a withdrawal, and the month-end withdrawal date.
 
Futures Investments are Highly Volatile and May Cause Large Losses, Including a Risk of Total Loss
 
    The Fund and the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests will each invest in a number of different types of financial instruments related to futures, each of which involves a degree of risk of financial loss.  The value of futures contracts, commodities contracts and related investments are highly volatile. Market movements are difficult to predict and are influenced by, among other things, government trade, fiscal, monetary, and exchange control programs and policies; changing supply and demand relationships; national and international political and economic events; changes in interest rates; and the inherent volatility of the marketplace. In addition, governments from time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, often with the intent to influence prices directly.  The effects of government intervention may be particularly significant at certain times in
 
 
14

 
the global futures markets, and such intervention (as well as other factors) may cause these markets and related investments to move rapidly, affecting United States and global financial markets. Investments in futures and related financial instruments are also subject to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which positions trade or of their clearinghouses.
 
Writing and Purchasing Options on Futures Can be More Volatile and Expensive than Futures Trading and May Cause Large Losses
 
    The Fund will write, purchase, and sell options on futures instruments, the prices of which are often very volatile. The Fund will also invest in managed futures funds and managed futures accounts which may write, purchase, and sell options on futures investments. Price movements of options contracts are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, international trade, fiscal, monetary, and exchange control programs and policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events and policies.  The value of options also depends in part upon the price of the futures underlying them.  Accordingly, options on highly volatile futures may be more expensive than options on other futures. Put options and call options typically have similar structural characteristics and operational mechanics, regardless of the underlying instrument on which they are purchased or sold. A put option gives the purchaser of the option, upon payment of a premium, the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying commodity or other instrument at the exercise or “strike” price. A call option, upon payment of a premium, gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the seller the obligation to sell, the underlying instrument at the strike price. If a put or call option purchased by the Fund were permitted to expire without being sold or exercised, the Fund would lose the entire premium it paid for the option. The risk involved in writing a put option is that there could be a decrease in the market value of the underlying futures instrument caused by rising interest rates or other factors. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying asset would then be sold to the Fund at a higher price than its current market value. The risk involved in writing a call option is that there could be an increase in the market value of the underlying asset caused by declining interest rates or other factors. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying instrument would then be sold by the Fund at a lower price than its current market value.  Purchasing and writing put and call options and, in particular, writing “uncovered” options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. In particular, the writer of an uncovered call option assumes the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the market price of the underlying instrument above the exercise price of the option. This risk is enhanced if the instrument being sold short is highly volatile. The futures instruments necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase except at much higher prices. Purchasing futures instruments to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of the asset to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. Accordingly, the sale of an uncovered call option could result in a loss by the Fund of all or a substantial portion of its assets. Writing, purchasing, and selling options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. Options are also subject to the risk of nonperformance by the counterparty, or the risk to the option buyer that the writer will not buy or sell the underlying asset as agreed in the option contract.
 
Foreign Currency Trading Can be Volatile and Illiquid, Causing Large Losses
 
    The General Partner will not invest the Fund’s assets in retail off-exchange retail foreign currencies (“forex”), but the third party sub-advisors of the managed futures accounts, as well as the commodity pool operators of the managed futures funds, in which the Fund invests may do so on the Fund’s behalf. Volatility, combined with the leverage of forex trading and of the General Partner’s, third party sub-advisor’s and managed futures funds’ strategies, can cause large and sudden account fluctuations. Price movements of currencies are influenced by, among other things, climate, changing supply and demand
 
 
15

 
relationships, governmental, agricultural, and trade strategies and policies, and national and international political and economic events, including changes in interest rates, international trade restrictions, and currency devaluations and revaluations, among others. The General Partner, third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators cannot control any of these factors. Additionally, trading in forex may at times be illiquid and an unusually wide spread may at times exist between the price at which a counterparty is willing to purchase and sell particular foreign currencies. The General Partner’s trading program, as well as the managed accounts and managed futures funds in which the Fund invests, will generally be dependent on the price quotes at a particular broker and will not be able to avoid reliance on a single broker, unless alternate arrangements are made for access to other brokers.
 
PIP Spreads Can Limit Profitability
 
    A retail forex market maker does not charge commissions or transaction fees. Instead, traders need to clear what is called a “pip spread.” For most currency pairs, there is a 3 to 5 pip spread, meaning that a trader needs a position to grow at least $0.0003 to $0.0005 to break even on the transaction. Pip spreads are largely standardized across the retail forex industry. The spread is posted as the difference between the “bid” and “ask” prices for a currency pair. The pip difference between the “ask” and “bid” prices is the client’s cost per transaction. The higher the leverage, the more the profit or losses that may be incurred from a 1 pip change.
 
Intra-Day Trading Uses Significant Leverage and Small Price Changes can Quickly Lead to Large Losses
 
    The Fund and the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which it invests will often engage in intra-day trading, where positions are opened and closed during the same trading day. Due to the nature of financial leverage and the rapid returns that are possible in intra-day trading, such strategies can be highly profitable or highly unprofitable over very short periods of time. Typically, brokers allow for bigger margins for intra-day trading purposes; because of the high risk of margin use, the General Partner or the managed futures funds or managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests may have to exit a losing position very quickly in order to prevent a loss larger than the original investment.
 
The Fund will be Solely Responsible for All Losses in its Managed Futures Accounts
 
    The Fund will be solely responsible to creditors for all losses in its managed futures accounts, even those in excess of the Fund’s contribution to such account(s). For example, if a managed futures account of the Fund were to suffer net losses on one or more trades resulting in a deficit in such account, the Fund would be liable to repay the account’s deficit. To the extent the managed futures accounts employ leverage, such accounts may quickly suffer losses far in excess of their net assets, requiring the Fund to contribute additional capital to such account(s).
 
Fees and Commissions Are Charged Regardless of Profitability and Will Cause Losses If Not Offset by Gains and Interest Income
 
     The Fund is subject to substantial charges payable irrespective of profitability in addition to incentive allocations which are payable to the General Partner based on the profitability of the Fund. The Fund must have gains from its investments and interest income to avoid losses. In order to break even during the first twelve months of investment, assuming an average minimum net asset value of the Fund of $50,000,000 during its first year of operations, Class A Units must return approximately 12.19%, Class C Units must return approximately 7.92%, and Class I Units must return approximately 6.09%.
 
An Investment in the Fund is Not a Liquid Investment; Investors Remain Liable for Fund Liabilities Incurred After Submitting Withdrawal Notices but Before the calendar month-end Withdrawal Date, and You Will Not be Able to Limit Your Losses or Realize Accrued Profits Except at a calendar month-end
 
     There is no secondary market for the Fund’s Units. While investors have withdrawal rights, withdrawals are permitted only at the end of a calendar month upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the General Partner or Mutual Shareholder Services (the Fund’s transfer agent) and withdrawing investors remain liable for the liabilities of the Fund until they are withdrawn at calendar month-end. Transfers of the ownership of Units are permitted only with the prior approval of the General Partner. Because Units cannot be readily liquidated, it will not be possible for you to limit losses or realize accrued gains, if any, except at a calendar month-end in accordance with the Fund’s withdrawal provisions.
 
 
16

 
Timing Constraints Associated with Limited Partners’ Ability to Withdraw from the Fund may Cause a Limited Partner Losses
 
    Limited Partners may make withdrawals from the Fund on a monthly basis after providing 30 days’ prior written notice. At the same time, Limited Partners are provided monthly net asset value statements on the performance of the Fund and their Units. Therefore, the 30-day timing restraint on withdrawals from the Fund make it difficult to anticipate what the net asset value of a Limited Partner’s Units will be at the following month-end that is at least 30 days after the date the Limited Partner gives notice. The monthly reporting period makes it difficult to ascertain the most recent net asset value figures for the Fund and each Unit therein, possibly leading to the Limited Partner making withdrawals at inopportune times or with limited information. For example, a Limited Partner’s Units could suffer significant losses after the previous notification of net asset value but prior to the Limited Partner’s withdrawal.
 
Lack of Liquidity in the Markets in Which the Fund Trades Could Make It Impossible to Realize Gains or Limit Losses
 
     It is not always possible to initiate or close a futures position at the desired price due to market conditions and/or price fluctuations. For example, when the market price of a commodity futures contract reaches its daily price fluctuation limit, no trades beyond the daily price fluctuation limit can be executed. Daily price fluctuation limits are established by the exchanges and approved by the CFTC. The holder of a commodity futures contract (including the Fund or the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which it invests) may therefore be locked into an adverse price movement for several days or more and lose considerably more than the initial margin paid to establish a position. Another instance of difficult or impossible execution occurs in thinly traded markets or markets which lack sufficient trading liquidity. As a result, no assurance can be given that the Fund’s orders or those of the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which it invests will be executed at or near the desired price.
 
     Unexpected market illiquidity has caused major losses in the recent past in such sectors as emerging markets, mortgage-backed securities and other credit related instruments. There can be no assurance that the same will not happen in the futures markets generally, or in certain futures markets, at any time or from time to time. The large size of the positions the Fund may take in its managed futures accounts increases the risk of illiquidity by both making its positions more difficult to liquidate and increasing the losses incurred while trying to do so.
 
     United States commodity exchanges impose limits over the amount the price of some, but not all, futures contracts may change on any day. If a market has moved adversely to the Fund’s position and has reached the daily price limit, it may be impossible for the Fund to liquidate its position until the limit is expanded by the exchange or the contract begins to trade away from the limit price. In addition, even if futures prices have not reached the daily price limit, the Fund may not be able to execute futures trades at favorable prices if little trading in such contracts is taking place.
 
The Fund May Trade Extensively in Foreign Markets Which May Not Be Subject to the Same Level of Regulatory Oversight as Trading in Domestic Markets
 
     A substantial portion of the Fund’s trading program and its managed futures account trades may take place on markets or exchanges outside the United States. The risk of loss in trading foreign futures contracts and foreign options can be substantial. Non-U.S. markets may not be subject to the same degree of regulation as their U.S. counterparts. None of the CFTC, NFA, or any domestic exchange regulates activities of any foreign boards of trade or has the power to compel enforcement of the rules of a foreign board of trade or any applicable foreign laws. In addition, some foreign exchanges are “principals markets” in which performance is the responsibility only of the individual exchange member counterparty, not of the exchange or a clearing facility. In such cases, the Fund will be subject to the risk that the member with whom the Fund has traded is unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the transaction.
 
     Trading on foreign exchanges also presents the risk of loss due to the possible imposition of exchange controls (making it difficult or impossible for the Fund to repatriate some or all of its assets held by foreign counterparties), government expropriation of assets, taxation, government intervention in
 
 
17

 
markets, limited rights in the event of bankruptcy of a foreign counterparty or exchange, and variances in foreign exchange rates between the time a position is entered and the time it is exited.

The Fund’s Accounts with Futures Commission Merchants may be Improperly Segregated and are not Insured Against Loss in the Event of a Futures Commission Merchant’s Bankruptcy
 
    Under CFTC regulations, FCMs are required to maintain a client’s assets in a segregated account. If a client’s FCM fails to do so, the Fund or the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which it invests may be subject to a risk of loss of its deposited funds in the event of the FCM’s bankruptcy. Although FCMs are required to segregate customer accounts pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act, in the unlikely event of a FCM’s bankruptcy, there would be no equivalent of the Securities Investors Protection Corporation insurance available.
 
A Counterparty to an Exchange of Physicals may Default, Resulting in Losses to the Fund
 
    An exchange for physicals (“EFP”) is a transaction in which the buyer of a cash commodity transfers to the seller a corresponding amount of long futures contracts or receives from the seller a corresponding amount of short futures at a price difference mutually agreed upon. In this way, the opposite hedges in futures of both parties are closed out simultaneously.  In such a transaction, the primary risk is associated with the default of such counterparty.
 
If the Fund Does Not Perform in a Manner Non-Correlated with the General Financial Markets or Does Not Perform Successfully, You Will Not Obtain Any Diversification Benefits by Investing in the Fund and You May Have No Gains to Offset Your Losses from Other Investments
 
     Historically, managed futures have been generally non-correlated to the performance of other asset classes such as stocks and bonds. Non-correlation means that there is no statistically valid relationship between the past performance of futures contracts and off-exchange retail foreign currencies on the one hand and stocks or bonds on the other hand. Non-correlation should not be confused with negative correlation, where the performance of two asset classes would be opposite each other. Because of this non-correlation, the Fund cannot be expected to be automatically profitable during unfavorable periods for the stock or bond markets, or vice versa. If the Fund does not perform in a manner non-correlated with the general financial markets or does not perform successfully, you will not obtain any diversification benefits by investing in the Fund and you may have no gains to offset your losses from other investments.
 
Regulatory Change Applicable to the Fund is Impossible to Predict and May be Adverse to the Fund
 
     The futures markets are subject to comprehensive regulation. In addition, the CFTC and the exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, among other measures, suspension of trading. Market regulation in the United States is a rapidly changing area of law and is subject to modification by government and judicial action. In addition, various national governments have expressed concern regarding the need to regulate the “derivatives” markets in general. In addition, various national governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the spot currency markets and the need to regulate the “derivatives” markets in general. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Fund is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse.
 
The Fund’s Operations Depend on Systems which are Subject to a Risk of Failure, Leading to Large Losses
 
    The Fund depends on the General Partner and each third party sub-advisor to develop and implement appropriate systems for the Fund’s activities. The Fund also depends on the each commodity pool operator to develop and implement appropriate systems for the managed futures fund’s activities in which the Fund invests. In addition, certain of the Fund’s, the General Partner’s, and each third party sub-advisors’ and managed futures funds’ operations interface with or depend on systems operated by third parties, including brokers and market counterparties and their respective sub-custodians and other service providers, and the Fund, the General Partner, and each sub-advisor and managed futures fund may not be in a position to verify the risks or reliability of such third party systems. These programs or systems may be subject to certain defects, failures or interruptions, including, but not limited to, those
 
 
18

 
caused by “worms,” viruses, and power failures. Any such defect or failure could have a materially adverse effect on the Fund. For example, such failures could cause settlement of trades to fail, lead to inaccurate accounting, recording, or processing of trades, and cause inaccurate reports, which may affect the Fund’s ability to monitor its investment portfolio and its risks or that of the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which it invests. The General Partner and each sub-advisor is not liable to the Fund for losses caused by systems failures.
 
Trading Orders May Not be Properly Executed, Resulting in the Fund Failing to Achieve an Intended Market Position and Suffering Losses
 
    The Fund’s trading strategies, and those of the managed futures accounts and managed futures funds in which the Fund invests, depend on the ability to establish and maintain an overall market position in a combination of futures products selected by the General Partner and third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators, respectively. The Fund’s trading orders, and those of the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests, may not be executed in a timely and efficient manner due to various circumstances, including, without limitation, systems failures or human error attributable to the Principals, third party sub-advisors, commodity pool operators, brokers, agents, or other service providers. In such events, the Fund, managed futures fund, or managed futures account might only be able to acquire some, but not all, of the components of such investment, or if the overall investment were to need adjustment, the Fund, managed futures fund, or managed futures account might not be able to make such adjustment. As a result, the Fund, managed futures account, or managed futures fund would not be able to achieve the market position selected by the General Partner, third party sub-advisor, or commodity pool operator and the Fund, managed futures account, or managed futures fund might incur a loss in liquidating its position.
 
Stop-Loss Orders are Subject to the Risk of Execution at Prices Significantly Lower than the Price Intended in the Event of a “Flash Crash” or Similar Market Event, Resulting in Losses
 
    A stop-loss order, also known as a sell-stop order, is designed to stop or limit a loss in the event a position moves against you. A significant risk associated with a stop-loss order is that the order may be executed on a small or temporary price reversal that can frequently occur in the normal price movement of a publicly traded asset; thereafter, the value of the asset may increase or normalize, meaning the order caused a realized loss on the position that would have been avoided if no stop loss order had been placed. Another potential risk is that the stop-loss order may be executed at a much lower level than the stop price if the market is falling rapidly, experiencing above average volatility, or undergoing a so-called “flash crash,” thereby locking in a large realized loss. Along these lines, a stop-loss order has a significant limitation in that it cannot guarantee losses will not exceed the stop price; indeed, after the stop-loss order is triggered, execution of the order may only be at a price significantly below the stop price.
 
The Fund Will Not Engage in Hedging; Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to Limit Losses Resulting from General Market Movements
 
     The General Partner and sub-advisors will not typically hedge the Fund’s positions – either in respect of particular positions or in respect of the overall portfolio. The portfolio composition of the Fund, as well as that of the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which it invests, will commonly result in various directional market risks remaining unhedged. The General Partner and each third party sub-advisor and managed futures fund is not obligated to establish hedges for portfolio positions and may determine not do so.

 
19

 
 
The General Partner Analyzes Fundamental as well as available Technical Data, which do not capture all the possible risk scenarios that might emerge; These unknown Risk Factors Could Result in Losses
 
The General Partner’s investment strategy cannot anticipate or model all possible market scenarios which can result in losses.  Additionally, despite the General Partner’s best risk management practices, the execution of such practices might not be timely to prevent the losses.
 
Speculative Position Limits May Alter Trading Decisions for the Fund’s own Trading Program and that of the Managed Futures Funds and Managed Futures Accounts in which it Invests, Possibly Resulting in Loss
 
     The CFTC has established limits on the maximum net long or net short positions which any person may hold or control in certain, primarily agricultural and grain, futures contracts. Certain accounts controlled by the General Partner, including the accounts of the Fund, may be combined for speculative position limit purposes. If positions in those accounts were to approach the level of the particular speculative position limit, the General Partner may modify the investment allocations for the Fund or the Fund may be forced to liquidate certain futures positions in its managed accounts, possibly resulting in losses.
 
Increases in Assets Under Management May Affect the General Partner’s Investment Decisions to the Detriment of Your Investment in the Fund
 
     The General Partner has not agreed to limit the amount of money it may manage and it is actively seeking to raise additional capital contributions for the Fund. The more assets the General Partner manages, the more difficult it may be for the Fund to implement its trading program or select managed futures accounts profitably because of the difficulty of trading larger positions without adversely affecting prices and performance. Accordingly, increases in capital under management may require the General Partner to modify its investment decisions for the Fund which could have a detrimental effect on your investment, such as decreasing gains or increasing losses.
 
Investors will Receive a Schedule K-1 and as a Result May Suffer Complications in Filing their Tax Returns in the Event of Delay and May Incur Additional Costs from Professional Advisors

     After each calendar year each investor in the Fund will receive a Schedule K-1 reporting such investor’s share of partnership tax items for income tax purposes. This form is expected to be available prior to April 15 each year following the taxable year it relates to; however, if there were a delay in making Schedule K-1’s available, it could be more difficult for investors to complete their tax returns in a timely fashion. Additionally, investors who seek advice from tax advisors with respect to their Schedule K-1 may incur additional costs in the form of fees.
 
Investors Are Taxed Each Year Based on Their Share of Gains Attributable to the Fund; Investors Must Either Withdraw Units to Pay Taxes or Have Other Assets Available to Do So
 
     Investors are taxed each year on their share of Fund gains, if any, irrespective of whether they make a withdrawal from the Fund or receive any cash distributions from the Fund. All performance information included in this prospectus is presented on a pre-tax basis; investors who experience such performance may have to withdraw a portion of their investments or, otherwise, pay the related taxes from other sources.
 
You Could Owe Taxes on Your Share of Ordinary Income Attributable to the Fund Despite Having Suffered an Overall Loss
 
     Investors may be required to pay tax on their share of ordinary income, from interest and gain on some foreign futures contracts, attributable to the Fund even though the Fund incurs overall losses. For non-corporate investors, capital losses can be used only to offset capital gains and $3,000 of ordinary income each year. Consequently, if a non-corporate investor were allocated $5,000 of ordinary income and $10,000 of capital losses, the investor would owe tax on $2,000 of ordinary income even though the investor would have a $5,000 loss for the year. The remaining $7,000 capital loss may be carried forward and used in subsequent years to offset capital gain and ordinary income, but subject to the same annual limitation on its deductibility against ordinary income.
 
 
20

 
Recharacterization of the Fund’s Ordinary Expenses as “Investment Advisory Fees” Could Result in an Investor Owing Increased Taxes
 
     The General Partner does not intend to treat the ordinary expenses of the Fund as “investment advisory fees” for federal income tax purposes. The General Partner believes that this is the position adopted by virtually all United States futures fund sponsors. However, were the ordinary expenses of the Fund characterized as “investment advisory fees,” non-corporate taxpayers would be subject to substantial restrictions on the deductibility of those expenses, would pay increased taxes in respect of an investment in the Fund, and could actually recognize taxable income despite having incurred a financial loss.
 
The Failure of a Clearing Broker or Currency Dealer Could Result in Losses
 
     The Commodity Exchange Act requires a clearing broker to segregate all funds received from customers from such broker’s proprietary assets. If any of the clearing brokers used by the Fund’s managed accounts fails to do so, such assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the clearing broker. Furthermore, in the event of any clearing broker’s bankruptcy, the Fund would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share, which may be zero, of all available funds segregated on behalf of the clearing broker’s combined customer accounts. The trading in off-exchange retail foreign currencies in the Fund’s managed accounts will generally be conducted in the dealer market, which is dominated by major money center banks, not subject to the provision of the Commodity Exchange Act. As a result, the Fund does not have the protections provided by the Commodity Exchange Act in the event of the bankruptcy of a currency dealer.
 
The Fund Is Subject to Actual and Potential Conflicts of Interest That Could Result in Losses for the Fund
 
     The Fund is subject to numerous actual and potential conflicts of interest, including: (1) the proprietary investment strategy of the General Partner or its principals or of the Fund’s clearing brokers and their affiliates and personnel may increase competition for positions sought to be entered by the Fund, making it more difficult for the Fund to enter positions at favorable prices; and (2) the compensation that the selling agents receive gives them an incentive to promote the sale of the Fund’s Units as well as to discourage withdrawals. See “Conflicts of Interest.” Investors should note that the selling agents will be deemed statutory underwriters of the Fund. As of the date of this Prospectus, U.S. Financial Investments, Inc. (CRD# 120804) has been retained as a selling agent by the General Partner.
 
     Because the General Partner has not established any formal procedures for resolving conflicts of interest and because there is no independent control over how conflicts of interest are resolved, you will be dependent on the good faith of the parties with conflicts to resolve the conflicts equitably. The General Partner cannot assure that conflicts of interest will not result in losses for the Fund.
 
No Independent Experts Represented the Interests of Investors; You Must Rely on Your Own Professional Advisors with Respect to an Investment in the Fund
 
     The General Partner has consulted with counsel, accountants, and other experts regarding the formation and operation of the Fund. No counsel has been appointed to represent the Limited Partners in connection with the offering of the Fund’s Units. Accordingly, each prospective investor should consult his own legal, tax, and financial advisers with respect to an investment in the Fund.
 
You Will Be Relying on the General Partner Alone to Direct the Fund’s Trading Program and Select Managed Futures Funds and Managed Futures Accounts in which the Fund Invests
 
     The Fund is structured as a multi-advisor fund to attempt to control risk and reduce volatility through combining advisors whose historical performance records have exhibited a significant degree of non-correlation with each other. However, the General Partner will have sole authority to select such other advisors on the Fund’s behalf by constructing a portfolio of managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests.
 
 
21

 
     The incapacity of one or more of the General Partner’s principals could have a material and adverse effect on its ability to discharge its obligations under the Agreement of Limited Partnership. Additionally, the General Partner may withdraw as general partner with respect to the Fund, upon 90 days’ notice, which would cause the Fund to terminate unless a substitute general partner was obtained. Neither the General Partner nor its principals are under any obligation to devote a minimum amount of time to the operation of the Fund.
 
The Fund’s Operations Depend Heavily on Key Personnel; Any Loss of Key Personnel Could Disrupt the Fund’s Activities
 
     The General Partner relies heavily on key personnel to conduct the day-to-day operations of the Fund, including Monty Agarwal, Mark Stephan, Cheryl Nyusa, and Zinovia Spezakis. In the event that the General Partner’s key personnel retire, die, or become incompetent or disable (i.e., unable by reason of disease, illness, or injury to perform their respective functions on behalf of the General Partner), the Fund may be unable to manage its assets or identify suitable investments. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the General Partner would be able to identify suitable personnel to replace the above persons in the event they could no longer render their services to the General Partner.
 
The Fund may be Unable to Hire Third Party Sub-Advisors or Traders with the Type of Experience Necessary to Complete the Fund’s Business Model, Reducing the Fund’s Potential for Profitability
 
     The Fund may be unable to hire third party sub-advisors or traders with the type of experience necessary to complete the Fund’s business model as currently contemplated by the General Partner. In such a case, the Fund’s potential for profitability would be severely limited, as the Fund would not be able to develop its trading program to the extent anticipated by the General Partner. Additionally, the hiring of less than top-tier or less well-known third party sub-advisors or traders may also limit the Fund’s performance.
 
The Fund Is Not a Regulated Investment Company or Mutual Fund and You Will Not Have the Investor Protections Afforded Those Investment Vehicles
 
     The Fund is not an investment company subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, you do not have the protections afforded by that statute which, for example, requires investment companies to have a majority of disinterested directors and regulates the relationship between the adviser and the investment company.
 
The Fund Is a Limited Partnership and Limited Partners will have no Voting Rights except in Limited Circumstances
 
     The Fund has been organized as a limited partnership and the General Partner is solely responsible for conducting or delegating responsibility for all of the Fund’s operational and investment activities. Accordingly, Limited Partners have no right to participate in the management of the Fund and will not be given an opportunity to evaluate or select any of the Fund’s investments or strategies. Furthermore, Limited Partners will not have voting rights similar to those of shareholders of a publicly-traded corporation; instead, Limited Partners will only be able to vote in those limited circumstances described in the Partnership Agreement.
 
The Fund Is an “Emerging Growth Company” under the JOBS Act of 2012 and, accordingly, the Fund will be subject to Reduced Disclosure Requirements
 
     The Fund is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and the Fund may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as well as reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in the Fund’s periodic reports under Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities
 
 
22

 
Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Fund has chosen to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. As a result, the Fund’s financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates. The Fund will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although the Fund will lose that status sooner if its revenues exceed $1 billion, if the Fund issues more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of the Fund’s Units held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any May 30.
 
There may be Deficiencies with the Fund’s Internal Controls that require improvements, and if the Fund is unable to adequately evaluate Internal Controls, the Fund may be subject to Sanction by the SEC
 
     The Fund is exposed to potential risks from legislation requiring companies to evaluate internal controls under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a smaller reporting company and emerging growth company, the Fund will not be required to provide a report on the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting until the Fund’s second annual report, and the Fund will be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements concerning any such report so long as the Fund is an emerging growth company or a smaller reporting company. The Fund has not yet evaluated whether its internal control procedures are effective and therefore there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in the Fund’s internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such evaluations. If the Fund is not able to meet the requirements of Section 404(a) in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, the Fund might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC.

Investment Objective
 
The primary investment objective of MA Managed Futures Fund, LP is to achieve positive returns for its investors under all market conditions, regardless of the general direction of any particular market (NOTE: the General Partner cannot guarantee positive returns for investors under all market conditions and cannot provide any basis to expect such results). MA Capital Management, LLC, the general partner of the Fund, plans to achieve the Fund’s objective by utilizing its expertise in picking a portfolio of managed futures strategies and utilizing a dynamic allocation and risk management methodology. The Fund will invest in exchange-traded futures contracts, options on futures, and off-exchange retail foreign currencies (the latter through the Fund’s investment in trading programs managed by third party sub-advisers and managed futures funds). The Fund will not invest in forward, swap, or other derivative contracts (excepting forward currency contracts) and, likewise, the third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators of the managed futures accounts and managed futures funds in which the Fund invests will be prohibited from investing in forward, swap or other derivate contracts (excepting forward currency contracts).
 
The General Partner is run by Mr. Monty Agarwal. Mr. Agarwal has over 16 years of experience as a trader and a hedge fund manager trading futures, options, and other derivatives. Mr. Agarwal possesses the requisite skills required to perform the necessary due diligence on managed futures strategies executed by the third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators of the various managed futures accounts and managed futures funds to construct a superior alpha-producing portfolio. Mr. Agarwal authored the book “The Future of Hedge Fund Investing” (Wiley, ’09), which deals with this subject matter. In early 2011 this book, given its global popularity and appeal, was translated and published in Mandarin Chinese as well. MA Managed Futures Fund, LP will be managed according to the philosophies laid out in The Future of Hedge Fund Investing, which are summarized below.
 
Investment Strategy as described in The Future of Hedge Fund Investing
 
The General Partner’s investment strategy is based on the philosophy, “run a multi-strategy fund like a Wall Street proprietary trading desk” as set forth in The Future of Hedge Fund Investing. The General Partner’s investment committee is composed of Mr. Agarwal and Mr. Stephan, senior traders who have amassed years of experience on Wall Street trading desks first, by trading various strategies, and second, by managing other traders who have run these strategies as well.
 
As described in The Future of Hedge Fund Investing, the strategy involves hiring the best available trading talent, either to work in-house or as external sub-advisors.  This is then complemented by a dynamic approach to diversification, leverage, and risk management.
 
This approach of a multi-strategy fund that is actually run by professional traders and not asset gatherers is the theme of Mr. Agarwal’s book, The Future of Hedge Fund Investing but also the core principle guiding this Fund.

The General Partner anticipates that approximately ninety seven percent (97%) of the Fund’s assets will be employed in the Fund’s managed futures and foreign currency investment program while the remaining three percent (3%) of the Fund’s assets will be maintained in U.S. government securities, cash, or cash equivalents.

 
28

 
Of the approximately 97% of the Fund’s assets committed to the Fund’s managed futures and foreign currency investment program, approximately ninety percent (90%) will ultimately be managed by third party sub-advisors and invested in managed futures funds (also known as investee pools).

Following closely the approach taken in The Future of Hedge Fund Investing (Wiley 2009), the 4 core principles of the Fund’s strategy are as follows: trader selection, strategy selection, diversification, and risk management. Each are explained below in further detail as described originally in The Future of Hedge Fund Investing (Wiley 2009):
 
1.      Trader Selection
 
    The third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators selected by the General Partner will be judged on their educational as well as trading backgrounds.  The General Partner will strive to pick traders that possess the requisite education from the best global universities.  They would have some length of work experience in their field of expertise with a verifiable track record.  This track record would demonstrate true alpha generation in all market environments, as well as strong risk discipline based on various proprietary metrics.  The General Partner will utilize its vast experience in hiring traders at some of the largest banks in the world in pursuit of the success of this step.
 
In addition to the above requirements, when the General Partner hires external traders to manage some of the Fund’s capital, they would have to meet the following inviolable requirements (as laid out in Mr. Agarwal’s book, The Future of Hedge Fund Investing (Wiley 2009)): an independent custodian; an independent auditor; independent prime brokers and futures commission merchants, and; an independent administrator responsible for calculating the net asset value of the Fund and each Unit therein.
 
2.       Strategy Selection
 
     The General Partner will select only those strategies that are at least 90% systematic by nature. In the General Partner’s experience, strategies that are systematic lend themselves to be free of human emotional intervention and their historical performance is useful in projecting an educated expectation of future possible performance.
 
3.      Diversification
 
     The General Partner classifies market movements under 3 categories: trending market, volatility shock, and a directionless, noisy market.  The General partner will diversify the portfolio of the Fund across strategies that work well in these 3 types of markets.  Some examples of such strategies that would work in the described market conditions are: trend following; mean reversion; pattern recognition; positive carry, and; arbitrage. To provide additional diversification, the General Partner will look at strategies which vary by holding period, ranging from a few seconds to a few weeks. The General Partner’s research has shown that constructing a portfolio in this manner creates true diversification. Additionally, portfolio diversification and returns will be enhanced by dynamically changing the allocation to these strategies based on the General Partner’s volatility and correlation matrices.
 
4.      Risk Management
 
     The General Partner will assess all third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators on a multi-tiered risk level, where the General Partner looks at the sub-advisor’s position level risk, daily, monthly, and yearly maximum drawdowns, and any risk limits placed into the sub-advisor’s programs by design. Furthermore, the Fund’s portfolio will take a very dynamic approach to allocating capital across the various strategies as well as sub-advisors to attempt to capture maximum alpha based on the prevailing market cycles. Finally, to ensure operational security of capital as well as transparency, as far as possible, the General Partner will make investments with sub-advisors through managed futures accounts to ensure complete daily transparency as well as operational control over the Fund’s capital.

 
29

 
 
The futures contracts the Fund will trade will consist of 8 asset classes: stock indices (United States: S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones; European: DAX, CAC 40, FTSE; and Asia: Hang Seng, Nikkei), bonds (US Treasury bonds, Australian bonds, UK bonds, etc.), currencies (USD/AUD, USD/CAD, USD/CHF, USD/EUR, USD/GBP, USD/JPY, USD/MXN, USD/NOK, USD/NZD, USD/SEK and US dollar indexes), real estate (Case-Shiller Home Index), energy (crude oil, natural gas, heating oil, coal, electricity, ethanol, etc.), metals (gold, silver, platinum, copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel, uranium, etc.), weather (temperature, hurricanes, snowfall, rainfall), and agricultural commodities (orange juice, coffee, cotton, sugar, cocoa, wheat, corn, soybeans, rapeseed, rice, palm oil, live cattle, lean hogs, rubber, etc.). The off-exchange foreign currency contracts the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund will invest may trade include: USD/AUD, USD/CAD, USD/CHF, USD/EUR, USD/GBP, USD/JPY, USD/MXN, USD/NOK, USD/NZD, USD/SEK. The Fund will not trade futures contracts for individual securities.
 
When investing in futures contracts, the Fund will utilize United States futures markets, including: the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME); the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT); the Commodity Exchange (COMEX); and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The Fund’s currency trading will be conducted using exchange-traded futures and forward contracts and, to a lesser extent, spot forex markets.
 
The investment methods, systems, and money management techniques employed by the General Partner are proprietary and confidential. The foregoing description is general and is not intended to be complete. Despite its best efforts, there can be no assurance that the General Partner’s investment program will succeed in its stated objectives.

Managed Futures Funds

The Fund’s investments in managed futures funds will be in the form of either a membership interest (in the case of a limited liability company) or a limited partnership interest (in the case of a limited partnership), each interest having the rights and duties set forth in the managed futures funds’ organizational documents.

The Fund’s investments in managed futures funds may be more restrictive than its investments in managed accounts. For example, the Fund may only be able to withdraw from such managed futures funds on certain predetermined dates after providing many days’ advance notice. The Fund will not generally have management authority over the managed futures funds, including authority to restrict the managed futures funds’ investments in certain assets (which are nonetheless subject to restrictions contained in their organizational documents) and will not be able to review holdings in real time on an ongoing basis, if at all. As a managed futures fund may have many other owners besides the Fund, the Fund may be one of many investors and creditors of a managed futures fund in the event of bankruptcy or other unusual circumstances. The principal advantage that an investment in a managed futures fund holds over an investment in a managed account is that expenses are split among multiple investors pro rata and the Fund has limited liability as a passive investor in such fund.

Managed Futures Accounts

In the case of the Fund’s investment in a managed futures account managed by a third party adviser, the Fund will have an exclusive economic interest in, and ownership of, the account, which will be held in the Fund’s name and governed by the investment management or other agreement signed between the Fund and the third party adviser.

There are a number of material differences between investing in a managed account as compared with investing in a managed futures fund. First, as a managed account is held in the Fund’s name, the Fund generally has discretion over the assets in such account. For example, the Fund typically has authority to close the account, withdraw from the account, or prohibit the account’s adviser from trading in certain investments. Furthermore, the Fund will generally have access to view the holdings of each account in real time on an ongoing basis. The Fund will hold undivided ownership of each managed futures account in which it invests. In contrast to its managed futures fund investments, however, the Fund will be solely responsible for all expenses in each of its managed accounts and will be responsible to creditors for all losses in such account, even those in excess of the Fund’s contribution to the account. For example, if the managed futures account were to suffer net losses on one or more trades resulting in a deficit in such account, the Fund would be liable to repay the account’s deficit.

Managed Futures Fund and Managed Futures Accounts Selection

The managed futures fund and managed futures account part of the General Partner’s strategy involves retaining the best available trading talent to work as external sub-advisors on the Fund’s behalf. The General Partner anticipates that once the Fund begins to commence operations, it will typically retain ten to fourteen third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds at any given time. Additionally, the Fund will not allocate more than 9.99% of its assets to any particular sub-adviser or managed futures fund at any time; if the Fund were to do so, such sub-advisers or managed futures funds would be considered “major” sub-advisers or managed futures funds for NFA purposes, triggering additional disclosure obligations for the Fund. If, due to gains by a particular sub-adviser or managed futures fund or due to losses by the Fund elsewhere, a sub-adviser or managed futures fund would have more than 9.99% of the Fund’s assets, the General Partner will redistribute such assets so that the sub-adviser or managed futures fund does not have more than 9.99%. Allocation of the Fund’s assets among sub-advisers and managed futures funds will be determined by the General Partner primarily by gauging the
 
 
30

 
overall portfolio of positions of each sub-advisor and managed futures fund and the correlation of returns amongst all sub-advisors’ and managed futures funds’ strategies and portfolios. Generally speaking, the General Partner will not redistribute the Fund’s assets to sub-advisers who have generated losses for the Fund for the purpose of maintaining any strict allocation ratio amongst sub-advisors. The modification of asset allocations amongst sub-advisors will not change the calculation of “new appreciation” for purposes of the General Partner’s Incentive Allocation, as “new appreciation” takes into account unrealized, as well as realized, gains and losses. The General Partner will typically be able to quickly modify the Fund’s allocations amongst sub-advisors, as there will be no withdrawal restrictions on the Fund’s managed futures accounts and the General Partner will negotiate an up-front waiver of any withdrawal restrictions of any managed futures funds on the Fund’s behalf. Therefore, there will be no adverse impact to the Fund of reallocating assets away from a sub-advisor that is in a loss position other than such existing losses, whether realized or unrealized. Sub-advisors will be monitored by the General Partner on a daily basis.

The General Partner’s “In House” Trading Program

Of the approximately 97% of the Fund’s assets committed to the Fund’s managed futures and foreign currency investment program, approximately ten percent (10%), will be managed in house by the General Partner and invested in various futures and related investments. Critical to the success of the Fund will also be the General Partner’s dynamic approach to diversification, leverage, and risk management as described above.

 
31

 

Leverage, Custody and Segregation of Funds

The General Partner and the third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators of the managed futures funds in which the Fund invests will utilize margin to pursue their respective trading and investment programs. Of the assets committed to the Fund’s managed futures and currency investment program (other than assets committed to trading foreign currencies), those not allocated to managed futures funds will be held in segregation with one or more futures commission merchants to trade in commodity interests (although the managed futures funds will themselves deposit funds with one or more futures commissions merchants to trade in commodity interests). Approximately 100% of the assets held in segregation with each commodity futures merchant will remain in cash to trade in commodity interests, a portion of which may be used as margin. Additionally, unsegregated funds used by commodity trading advisers to trade in foreign currencies may also be held as margin. By utilizing leverage, the Fund is inherently able to leverage the dollar value of the futures contracts traded by the Fund; accordingly, the operating profit or loss of the Fund will increase due to the increase in its dollar value of trading. As a result of this leveraging, even a small adverse movement in the price of a contract could cause the Fund major and immediate losses. Like other leveraged investments, any trade may result in losses in excess of the amount invested. To attempt to mitigate the potential downside risk, the General Partner will monitor risk measures such as downside volatility and the Fund’s equity ratio.

The assets of the Fund will be held by qualified custodians, including brokers, futures commission merchants, banks, and other financial institutions. The General Partner will not have access to the Fund’s cash or assets and will not handle investor’s capital contributions. Generally, the use of qualified custodians means the General Partner does not have authority to pay itself out of the assets of the Fund and will instead be required to submit invoices for the fees owed to the General Partner by the Fund and such invoices will be reviewed by an independent third party for verification purposes. Accordingly, the use of qualified custodians on the Fund’s behalf is an important safeguard for investors; however, the existence of qualified custodians should not be taken as an indication of an additional level of management or supervision over the Fund’s activities. Additionally, there may be additional costs associated with holding the Fund’s assets with qualified custodians.

Further Information
 
At any time, of the approximately 97% of the Fund’s assets committed to the Fund’s managed futures and foreign currency investment program (either managed by the General Partner or a third party advisor or invested in a managed futures fund), approximately 90% will be held in segregation with one or more futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) to trade in futures, options on futures, and related futures and commodities instruments (such trading activities either conducted by the General Partner or by a third party advisor or managed futures fund selected by the General Partner). The remainder, approximately 10% of the 97% of the Fund’s assets committed to the Fund’s managed futures and foreign currency investment program, will be invested in foreign currencies (none of which is traded in the General Partner’s trading program) and, accordingly, will not be held in segregation with a FCM.
 
 
The General Partner as well as the third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds will employ leverage as part of the Fund’s investment program. The managed futures funds and managed futures accounts will take some positions that theoretically have unlimited loss potential, such as naked call positions, and there is no absolute limit to the amount of leverage the General Partner, the managed futures funds, and the managed futures accounts may use. Commodity futures and short option contracts have a low margin requirement which provides for a large amount of leverage. Therefore, a relatively small change in the market price of a commodity contract can produce a corresponding large profit or loss. Accordingly, the use of leverage carries significant risks and investors should review carefully the relevant sections under “The Risks You Face,” above.
 
 
Commodity interests traded by the Fund may be listed on regulated exchange markets in the United States subject to pertinent federal and state regulations or may be listed on foreign exchanges. Custody of the Fund’s commodity interests will be held by one or more FCMs through which commodity interests will be traded. The Fund will not retain an introducing broker. Jurisdiction over the FCM is held by the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the National Futures Association, a self-regulatory organization.
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PROSPECTIVE OPERATIONS
 
Prospective Operations
 
     MA Managed Futures Fund, LP was organized on October 26, 2011 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Fund is a speculative commodity pool which will implement its own futures trading program managed by the General Partner as well as invest in a number of managed futures funds and managed futures accounts selected by the General Partner and managed by third party commodity pool operators and sub-advisors. The Fund’s trading program and the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which it invests will trade and invest in a wide array of futures products.
 
 
33

 
     The General Partner’s selection of third party commodity pool operators and sub-advisors and their trading programs for their managed futures funds and managed futures accounts is based on the General Partner’s fundamental analysis of such commodity pool operators and sub-advisors and their futures trading programs and strategies.
 
     The success of the Fund will depend on 1) the ability of the General Partner to implement the Fund’s trading program as well as identify and select profitable third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds, and 2) the ability of the General Partner and such third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds to successfully implement their respective futures trading programs to recognize and capitalize on price trends in different sectors of the global capital and commodity markets. There is no way to predict how the Fund’s trading program or portfolio of managed futures funds and managed futures accounts will perform in the future, and if the Fund does not perform successfully, investors may lose all or substantially all of their investment. As of the date of this Prospectus, no agreements have been signed with any third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds although the Fund has completed due diligence and tentatively selected eleven third party sub-adviser programs and managed futures funds in which the Fund anticipates investing. The ultimate terms of such investments will be negotiated after the Fund commences capital raising, but prior to the Fund committing capital to such programs and managed futures funds. Upon execution, the terms of such agreements will be made publicly available to investors except to the extent such agreements are protected, in whole or in part, by confidentiality treatment as determined by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
 Capital Resources
 
     The Fund will raise capital only through capital contributions pursuant to the initial and continuing offering and does not intend to raise any capital through borrowings. Due to the nature of the Fund’s business, it will make no capital expenditures and will have no capital assets which are not operating capital or assets.
 
Liquidity
 
     Most United States commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in futures contracts prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” During a single trading day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. This may affect the ability of the Fund or the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests to initiate new positions or close existing ones or may prevent them from having orders executed. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Similar occurrences could prevent the Fund or the managed futures funds or managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the Fund to substantial losses, which could exceed the margin initially committed to such trades. In addition, even if futures prices have not moved the daily limit, the Fund or the managed futures funds or managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests may not be able to execute futures trades at favorable prices if little trading in such contracts is taking place. Other than these limitations on liquidity, which are inherent in the futures trading operations of the Fund and the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund will invest, the assets of the Fund or such managed futures funds and managed futures accounts are expected to be highly liquid.
 
Financial Instrument Risk
 
     In the normal course of its business, the Fund and the managed futures funds it invests in will be parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including exchange traded futures contracts. The term “off-balance sheet risk” refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. These financial instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC contracts will not be traded by the Fund.
 
     Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments to be traded by the Fund or by the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests due to market changes. In entering into these contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be
 
 
34

 
significantly influenced by conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all open positions at the same time, and if the General Partner, third party sub-advisor, or managed futures fund was unable to offset such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses.
 
     In addition to market risk, in entering into futures contracts and off-exchange retail foreign currency transactions there is a risk that a counterparty will not perform according to the terms of a contract entered into with the Fund or a managed futures fund or managed futures account in which the Fund invests, that is, credit risk. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transactions. The Fund’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statements of assets and liabilities and not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The Fund has credit risk and concentration risk with respect to the brokers and dealers through which the Fund and the third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds conduct their operations.
 
     The General Partner will monitor and attempt to control risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit, and risk management monitoring systems and, typically, the third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds selected by the General Partner will do so as well; however, they have no contractual obligation to do so and, regardless, there is no guarantee that they will be successful in doing so.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
     The Fund will not engage in off-balance sheet arrangements with other entities.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
     The Fund will not enter into contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments of a type that would be typical for an operating company. The Fund’s sole business will be implementing its trading program and investing in managed futures funds and managed futures accounts which trade futures contracts, options on futures, and off-exchange retail foreign currencies. All such contracts are settled by offset, not delivery. Substantially all such contracts will be for settlement within four months of the trade date and substantially all such contracts will be held by the Fund or the managed futures fund for less than four months before being offset or rolled over into new contracts with similar maturities. The financial statements of the Fund will present a condensed schedule of investments setting forth net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the Fund’s open futures contracts at the end of the reporting period for which such statements are prepared.
 
Critical Accounting Policies — Valuation of the Fund’s Positions
 
     The Fund’s financial statements will be presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), which require the use of certain estimates made by the Fund’s management. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification), is the single source of U.S. GAAP.  The General Partner believes that the accounting policies that will be most critical to the Fund’s financial condition and results of operations relate to the valuation of the Fund’s investments, which will consist of exchange-traded futures contracts, off-exchange retail foreign currencies, and investments in other managed futures funds.
 
     Fair value, as defined in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification, is 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.  The fair value hierarchy, as set forth in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification, prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:  quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the
 
 
35

 
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and unobservable inputs for an asset or liability (Level 3).  If the inputs used to measure a financial instrument fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement of that financial instrument.  The Fund recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the beginning of the reporting period.
 
      Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are stated at fair value using the primary exchange’s closing price.  Such fair value estimates are categorized as Level 1 fair value measurements.  Forward currency contracts are stated at fair value using published daily settlement prices or at dealers’ quotes.  Such fair value estimates are categorized as Level 2 fair value estimates.  Unrealized gains or losses on open futures contracts and forward currency contracts represent the difference between contract trade price and fair value.  Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the statement of operations.  Gains or losses on futures contracts, options on futures contracts and forward currency contracts are realized when such contracts are liquidated.
 
     Investments in other managed futures funds, if any, will be reported in the Fund’s statement of financial condition at fair value.  Fair value ordinarily represents the Fund’s proportionate share of each other managed futures fund’s net asset value determined for each managed futures fund in accordance with such managed futures fund’s valuation policies and reported at the time of the Fund’s valuation by the management of the managed futures fund.  Generally, the fair value of the Fund’s investment in another managed futures fund represents the amount that the Fund could reasonably expect to receive from such managed futures fund if the Fund’s investment was redeemed at the time of the valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is made and that the Fund believes to be reliable. The Fund will record its proportionate share of other managed futures funds’ income or loss in the statement of operations.
 
     The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification provides that if the Fund has the ability to redeem its investment in another managed futures fund at net asset value at the measurement date, the investment shall be categorized as a Level 2 fair value measurement, and if the Fund cannot redeem its investment in another managed futures fund at net asset value at the measurement date but the investment may be redeemable at a future date, the Fund must consider the length of time until the investment will be redeemable in determining whether it will be categorized as a Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurement.
 
   The General Partner anticipates that NAV Consulting, Inc. will receive information feeds from the administrators of the managed futures funds in which the Fund invests and from the Fund’s prime broker(s) and custodian(s), each of which will provide NAV Consulting, Inc. with the fair market value pricing of all the Fund’s positions and assets on a daily basis. As a result, NAV Consulting, Inc. does not anticipate that they will experience any situation where they are not able to determine the fair value of any asset from this information at the Fund’s reporting dates. If, however, an applicable reporting date falls on a holiday, the information feed with applicable pricing will be used from the previous business day.

 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
ASU 2011-11
 
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) more comparable to those prepared under and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. New disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The General Partner is evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-11 on the financial statements and disclosures.

ASU 2011-04

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative
 
 
36

 
description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The General Partner is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.
 
ASU 2010-06
 
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”), which amends the disclosure requirements of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) and requires new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 categories, as well as requires entities to separately present purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e., to present such items on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and which clarifies existing disclosure requirements provided by ASC 820 regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of January 1, 2010, the Fund adopted ASU 2010-06 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which were adopted as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of the remaining provisions has not had a material impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.


CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
     Each prospective investor should read and consider carefully the following potential conflicts of interest before making a capital contribution to the Fund. The General Partner has not established any formal procedures to resolve the conflicts of interest described below. You should be aware that no such procedures have been established and that there is no independent control on how conflicts of interest are resolved. Consequently, you will be dependent on the good faith of the respective parties subject to such conflicts to resolve such conflicts equitably. Although the General Partner will attempt to resolve conflicts in good faith, there can be no assurance that these conflicts will not, in fact, result in losses for the Fund.
 
The General Partner
 
     Conflicts exist between the General Partner’s interests in and its responsibilities to the Fund. The conflicts are inherent in the General Partner acting as general partner and commodity pool operator of the Fund. These conflicts and the potential detriments to the Limited Partners are described below. The General Partner’s selection of itself as commodity pool operator was not objective because it is also the general partner of the Fund, and it will not replace itself as the commodity pool operator even if doing so would be beneficial to the Fund. The advisory relationship between the Fund with respect to the General Partner, including the fee arrangement, was not negotiated at arm’s length. Investors should note, however, that the General Partner believes that the fee arrangements are fair and competitive with compensation arrangements in similar commodity pools.
 
    The General Partner will not seek to become a FINRA member in the future and, accordingly, will not be eligible to participate in the offering of the Units as a selling agent.
 
     Neither the General Partner nor its principals devote their time exclusively to managing the Fund. Instead, the General Partner currently anticipates that it and its principals will devote approximately seventy percent (70%) of their time to the business of the Fund. The General Partner may act as commodity pool operator to other commodity pools and the principals are involved in other activities as listed above. Thus, the General Partner or its principals could have a conflict between responsibilities owed to the Fund and those owed to other pools and accounts. The General Partner believes that it has sufficient
 
 
37

 
resources to discharge its responsibilities in this regard in a fair manner. The General Partner may receive higher advisory fees from some of those other pools or accounts than it receives from the Fund. The General Partner will, however, manage all pools and accounts pursuing the same or a substantially similar trading and investment strategy in a substantially similar manner. As of the date of this Prospectus, however, neither the General Partner nor its principals currently provide services to other entities that have similar investment strategies and objectives as the Fund.
 
     In addition, the General Partner may find that futures positions established in one or more accounts for the benefit of the Fund, when aggregated with positions in other accounts managed by the General Partner, approach the speculative position limits in a particular commodity. The General Partner may decide to address this situation either by liquidating positions in such futures contract and reapportioning the portfolio in other contracts (or by directing the third party sub-advisors or commodity pool operators of the managed futures accounts or managed futures funds to do so) or by trading contracts in other markets which do not have restrictive limits (or by directing third party sub-advisors or commodity pool operators of the managed futures accounts or managed futures funds to do so). The General Partner will treat all affected accounts equitably, giving due consideration to differences in account size, leverage level and investment objectives. The principals of the General Partner are not prohibited from trading futures and related contracts for their own accounts, although they are not doing so as of the date of this Prospectus. Trading records for any such proprietary trading by third party sub-advisors or commodity pool operators retained by the Fund are typically not available for review by clients or investors.
 
     The General Partner and/or its principals will not trade for their own accounts while they are managing the Fund.
 
Limitations on the General Partner’s Liability and Indemnification.  Subject to certain limitations, the Agreement of Limited Partnership provides that the Fund shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative, or investigative proceedings by any person who (a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a principal, employee, or affiliate of the General Partner; or (b) is or was, at the request of the Fund, serving in any capacity or acting for another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise.  Such indemnity only applies if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Fund and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.  The decision of the General Partner as to whether the person acted honestly, in good faith, and with a view to the best interests of the Fund and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient unless a question of law is involved.  Such indemnification obligations could hinder the Fund’s ability to realize its investment objectives.
 
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to officers or persons controlling the Fund pursuant to the Partnership Agreement as described above, the Fund has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
 
Incentive Allocation.   The Incentive Allocation payable to the General Partner is based on a percentage of the Fund’s net realized and unrealized profits, if any, as explained above. The Incentive Allocation may place the interests of the General Partner in conflict with the interests of the Participants by encouraging the General Partner to take excessive risks in an attempt to earn an outsized Incentive Allocation. As the Incentive Allocation accrues and is assessed and paid annually and is not subject to clawbacks for poor longer-term performance, the Incentive Allocation can be viewed as an incentive for
 
 
38

 
the General Partner to take greater medium-term risks, which may conflict with Participants’ long-term interests. Additionally, the Incentive Allocation may create an incentive for the General Partner to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such incentive compensation arrangements. For a full description of the Incentive Allocation and an example of how the loss carryforward provision will provide some protection for investors against incurring incentive fees on those profits that merely recover the Fund’s prior losses, please see “Incentive Allocation & Fee Subsection under the “Charges” section, below.
 
General Partner’s Investment in the Fund.   To minimize the conflicts of interest between the General Partner and the Fund, Monty Agarwal, a Principal of the General Partner, will at all time maintain an investment of $3,000 in the Fund.
 
The Clearing Brokers
 
     The clearing brokers, and the affiliates and personnel of such entities, retained by the Fund, the managed futures funds in which it invests, or the managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests may trade futures contracts for their own accounts and, in doing so, may compete with the Fund for the same positions, potentially making it more difficult for the Fund to effect transactions at favorable prices, potentially resulting in losses for the Fund. Likewise, the clearing brokers may serve as brokers for accounts in which they or an affiliate has a financial interest, for example, a pool sponsored by the clearing broker or any affiliate, which could give rise to conflicts of interest between their responsibility to the Fund, the managed futures fund, or managed futures account and to those accounts with respect to the execution of trades for such accounts and the funds or accounts in which the Fund invests, potentially resulting in losses for the Fund. However, the General Partner has no reason to believe that the clearing brokers would knowingly or deliberately favor any account over the Fund, managed futures funds, or managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests with respect to trade execution.
 
The Promoters
 
    The General Partner and Mr. Agarwal act as the Fund’s promoters.
 
The Selling Agents
 
     The selling agents, including U.S. Financial Investments, Inc. (CRD# 120804), receive substantial front-end sales loads on the sale of Class A Units and annual sales fee on the sale of Class C Units. Consequently, the selling agents have a conflict of interest in advising their clients whether to invest in the Fund. Investors should note that the selling agents will be deemed to be statutory underwriters of the Fund. As of the date of this Prospectus, U.S. Financial Investments, Inc. (“U.S. Financial”) is the only selling agent retained by the General Partner.

     The following is a list of civil, administrative, and criminal actions, pending or concluded, against U.S. Financial and their respective affiliates and principals (the “firm”) during the past five years as reported and disclosed by U.S. Financial which would be considered “material” as that term is defined in Section 4.24(I)(2) of the Regulations of the CFTC as disclosed through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s Broker Check Application:

·  
During a period between July 2008 through January 2009, FINRA found that U.S. Financial violated section 17 of the Exchange Act and Rule 17A-4 thereunder, as well as NASD conduct rules 3110 and 2110 and FINRA Rule 2010 by failing to take steps to test or ascertain whether or not its vendor had implemented a system to store email in non-erasable, no rewritable format. The firm was firm was censured and fined $25,000; and

·  
In August 2008, FINRA found that U.S. Financial violated SEC Rule 17A-4(B)(4) and NASD conduct rules 3110(A), 3010 and 2110 and did not have an adequate email retention system for the period from June 2003 until September 2007. Accordingly, the firm was censured and fined $40,000.
 
The General Partner’s Fiduciary Duty and Remedies
 
     In evaluating the foregoing conflicts of interest, a prospective investor should be aware that the General Partner is a fiduciary to the Fund and consequently has a responsibility to the Limited Partners to exercise good faith, fairness, and integrity in all dealings affecting the Fund. The fiduciary responsibility of a general partner to limited partners is a developing and changing area of the law and investors or prospective investors who have questions concerning the duties of the General Partner as general partner of the Fund should consult their own professional advisors.
 
 
39

 
     If a Limited Partner believes that the General Partner has violated its fiduciary duty to the Limited Partners, he may seek legal relief individually or on behalf of the Fund under applicable laws, including under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended (the “Act”), and under United States commodities laws, to recover damages from, or require an accounting by, the General Partner. The Agreement of Limited Partnership (“Partnership Agreement”) is governed by Delaware law and any breach of the General Partner’s fiduciary duty under the Partnership Agreement will generally be governed by Delaware law. The Partnership Agreement does not limit the General Partner’s fiduciary obligations under Delaware or common law; however, the General Partner may assert as a defense to claims of breach of fiduciary duty that the conflicts of interest and fees payable to the General Partner have been disclosed in this Prospectus.
 
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     There are no material transactions or arrangements between the Fund and any person affiliated with a person providing services to the Fund for which there is no publicly disseminated price, nor does the General Partner anticipate any such transactions occurring in the future.
 
LITIGATION
 
     There are no material administrative, civil, or criminal actions, pending or concluded, as of the date of this Disclosure Document, against the General Partner, its Principals, or against any related persons.
 
TRADING FOR THE GENERAL PARTNER’S OWN ACCOUNT
 
     The General Partner and its Principals have the right to trade for their own proprietary accounts, although they may not do so while trading on the Fund’s behalf. The General Partner and its Principals are not currently trading proprietary accounts as of the date of this Prospectus. The records of the General Partner, the Principals’ trading history, and any written policies related to such trading will not be available for inspection by the investors.
 
PRINCIPAL-PROTECTED POOL
 
     The Fund is not principal-protected against any loss on behalf of limited partners.
 
CHARGES
 
     The following list of fees and expenses includes all compensation, fees, profits, and other benefits (including reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses) which the General Partner, the selling agents, the third party sub-advisors, the managed futures funds, the clearing brokers, and the affiliates of those parties may earn or receive in connection with capital contributions by investors and the ongoing operation of the Fund. Prospective investors should refer to the Break-Even Analysis for each Class beginning on page 6 for an estimate of the break-even amount that is required for an investor to recoup such fees and expenses, or “break even” during the first year following an investment in the Fund.

Others

Actual expenses, such as legal, auditing, accounting, escrow, printing, mailing, and filing costs, including fees and expenses of NAV Consulting, Inc., Mutual Shareholder Services, or other persons providing administration or transfer agent services to the Fund, together with all expenses associated with the managed futures funds in which the Fund invests, in total not expected to exceed 0.50% of average month-end net asset value of the Fund.
 
 
General Partner
 
Organizational and Initial Offering Costs
 
The Fund will reimburse the General Partner for all costs associated with the initial organization of the Fund and the offering of the Fund’s Units, which are estimated to total approximately $130,605.
 
Management Fee
 
     The Fund will pay to the General Partner a monthly management fee equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of one percent (1%) (1% annually) of the monthly net asset value of the Fund. The management fee is payable in advance. This fee will be paid to the General Partner for providing ongoing advisory services and is payable regardless of whether or not the Fund is profitable.
 
     The Fund may be charged a management fee of up to two percent (2%) of the actual (as opposed to notional) net assets of the Fund managed by a third party sub-advisor or invested in a managed futures fund, payable at such regular intervals, either in arrears or in advance, as the General Partner and such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund may agree. The General Partner estimates that approximately 90% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested with one or third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds.
 
Incentive Allocations & Fee
 
     The Fund is also charged an incentive allocation equal to ten percent (10%) of the Fund’s new appreciation, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, for each fiscal quarter. New appreciation is the increase in the Fund’s net asset value, after adjusting for capital contributions and withdrawals, since the last time an incentive allocation was paid or, if no incentive allocation has been paid, since the Fund commenced trading operations. As “new appreciation” will take into account capital contributions and withdrawals, any changes in the Fund’s net asset value due to contributions and withdrawals will be ignored for purposes of determining the increase in the Fund’s net asset value. The incentive allocation will be allocated proportionally to each Limited Partner according to the Class and Series of Units such Limited Partner holds. If an incentive allocation payment is made by the Fund, and the Fund thereafter incurs net losses, the General Partner will retain the amount previously paid.
 
     As an example, assume the Fund paid an incentive allocation at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013 and assume that the Fund recognized gains (net of all brokerage fees, management fees, and operating and ongoing offering expenses) of $200,000 during the first quarter of 2014. The new appreciation for the quarter would be $200,000 and the General Partner’s incentive allocation would be $20,000 (0.10 X $200,000). Alternatively, assume that the Fund paid an incentive allocation at the end of the third quarter of 2013 but did not pay an incentive allocation at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013 because it had trading losses of $100,000. If the Fund recognized gains of $200,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2014, the new appreciation for the quarter would be $100,000 ($200,000 — $100,000 loss carryforward) and the General Partner’s incentive allocation would be $10,000 (0.10 X $100,000).
 
 
42

 
     The Fund may also be charged an incentive fee of up to twenty percent (20%) of the new appreciation, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, attributable to the Fund’s assets managed by a third party sub-advisor or invested in a managed futures fund on such schedule as the General Partner and such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund may agree. New appreciation is the increase in the net asset value of the assets managed by such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund since the last time an incentive fee was paid or, if no incentive fee has been paid, since the Fund’s allocation of assets to such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund; the initial net asset value of the Fund’s assets managed by a third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund is equal to the total net assets allocated by the Fund to such third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund. As incentive fees paid to third party sub-advisors or managed futures funds do not take into account the overall net gains or losses of the Fund and each Limited Partner’s investment therein, the Fund, and one or more Limited Partners in turn, may be assessed third party sub-advisor and managed futures fund incentive fees at a time when the overall net asset value of the Fund and one or more Limited Partners’ Units have decreased (although the General Partner may not be entitled to an incentive allocation in such a situation).
 
Brokerage Commissions and Other Charges
 
     The Fund will incur brokerage commissions and other charges in executing its own trading program by the clearing and executing futures brokers and forward currency counterparties. Additionally, the Fund will be charged brokerage commissions and other charges in its managed futures accounts through the pursuit of the trading programs of the third party sub-advisors of such accounts. Furthermore, the Fund will indirectly be charged such commissions and other charges through the managed futures funds in which it invests. Regardless of how incurred, such brokerage fees and expenses are estimated to amount to approximately 1.00% of the average month-end net assets per year of the Fund. The Fund will directly bear all commissions and other charges in its own trading program and in its managed futures accounts; with respect to the managed futures funds in which it invests, the Fund will bear its pro rata share of all expenses, including brokerage commissions and related charges, which will negatively impact the Fund’s capital account with such managed futures funds. The Fund will not negotiate agreements with clearing and executing futures and retail foreign currency brokers and forward currency counterparties who handle the transactions of the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests; instead, these agreements will be entered into by third party commodity pool operators and sub-advisors on the Fund’s behalf.

 
 
43

 
Sales Compensation
 
     Class A Units and Class C Units are subject to the selling commissions described below.
     
   Investors in Class A Units will pay a front-end sales load on each capital contribution to the Fund equal to the following schedule: for capital contributions of less than $50,000: 5.0%; less than $100,000 but at least $50,000: 4.0%; less than $250,000 but at least $100,000: 3.0%; less than $500,000 but at least $250,000: 2.5%; less than $750,000 but at least $500,000: 2.0%; less than $1,000,000 but at least $750,000: 1.5%; at least $1,000,000: no front-end sales load. The front-end sales load will reduce the number of Units purchased by Class A investors. Payments of front-end sales loads may be made directly to third party selling agents or may be paid indirectly through payment to the Fund, which then forwards the front-end sales load to the selling agent. The General Partner may waive the front-end sales load for any Class A Limited Partner.
 
   Class C Units will be sold in four different Series according to the total capital contributions (less any withdrawals) made by the Limited Partner holding such Class C Units: for contributions of less than $100,000, Series I; for contributions less than $500,000 but at least $100,000, Series II; for contributions less than $1,000,000 but at least $500,000, Series III; for contributions of at least $1,000,000, Series IV. Investors in Class C Units will pay an annual sales fee according to their respective Series equal to the following schedule: for Series I: 1.5%; for Series II, 1.0%; for Series III, 0.5%; for Series IV, no annual sales fee. The annual sales fee is charged monthly in advance as of the first day of each calendar month. The annual sales fee will be treated as an expense and will be charged to Class C Units in perpetuity. To the extent additional capital contributions or withdrawals by a Limited Partner would make such Limited Partner eligible for Units of another Series, all of the Class C Units held by such Partner will be exchanged for Units of the new Series at the current net asset values of the Units of the respective Class C Series. Payments of annual sales fee may be made directly to third party selling agents or may be paid indirectly through payment to the Fund, which then forwards the annual sales fee to the selling agent. The General Partner may waive the annual sales fee for any Class C Limited Partner.
 
   Investors in Class I Units are not charged selling commissions.
 
Operating and Ongoing Offering Expenses
 
     The Fund will bear its actual operating expenses, including the costs of updating this Prospectus and increasing the total amount of Fund Units for sale to the public, such as legal, auditing, administration, escrow, filing fees, printing, and postage costs, together with all expenses associated with the managed futures funds in which the Fund invests, in total not expected to exceed 0.50% of the average month-end net assets per year of the Fund. The General Partner will assume liability for operating expenses in excess of 1.00% of the average month-end net assets per year of the Fund. Indirect expenses in connection with the administration of the Fund, such as salaries, rent, travel, and overhead are borne by the General Partner, not the Fund. The General Partner estimates that a maximum of $6,000 in legal fees and a maximum of $62,500 in audit fees will be charged to the Fund during its first full year of operations, subject to the 1.00% expense cap described above.
 
Administration Fees
 
    For administration services, the Fund pays to its administrator, NAV Consulting, Inc., administration fees and expenses equal to 0.05% of the Fund’s net asset value per annum, payable monthly, or $2,500 per month, whichever is least.
 
Accounting Fees
 
    The Fund will be audited at least annually, with the first annual audit to be completed after the Fund’s fiscal year ends on December 31, 2013.
 
Organizational and Initial Offering Costs
 
    The organizational and initial offering costs of the Fund are estimated to total approximately $130,605, including $6,715 in organizational and $123,890 in offering costs. The Fund’s organizational costs will be expensed upon commencement of the Fund’s operations. The Fund’s initial offering costs will be
 
 
44

 
accounted for in accordance with the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 946-20-25-6 and amortized into expenses over the Fund’s first 12 months of operations.
 
Net Asset Value
 
    The net asset value of the Fund will be calculated by the Fund’s third party administrator, NAV Consulting, Inc. and provided to Limited Partners by Mutual Shareholder Services on a monthly basis and at such other times as determined by the General Partner. To calculate the net asset value of the Fund, NAV Consulting, Inc., will have to value the Fund’s assets and liabilities on a monthly basis, except that NAV Consulting, Inc. will not be able to independently value or verify the Fund’s investments in managed futures funds managed by third parties. Instead, while the net asset value of all investments held in the Fund’s name, including those assets held in the General Partner’s trading program and the managed futures accounts, will be readily determinable, NAV Consulting, Inc. will rely on third parties, including the manager and administrator, to obtain the net asset value of the Fund’s investments in each managed futures fund. Such third party net asset value determinations will be provided by the managed futures fund, or its administrator, on a monthly basis. Accordingly, NAV Consulting, Inc. will be merely using the figures provided by such parties in calculating the Fund’s net asset value, and will not be valuing such investments independently.
 
    As the net asset value of the Fund will be published by NAV Consulting, Inc. after the end of each calendar month, and as thirty (30) days’ notice is required to withdraw from the Fund prior to any month-end withdrawal date, Limited Partners will not be able to withdraw from the Fund until the end of the calendar month following the month in which they receive notice of the Fund’s net asset value from Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC. However, each Limited Partner may revoke their withdrawal request, either orally or in writing, prior to their withdrawal date by giving notice to the General Partner. The withdrawal proceeds will in each case be equal to the net asset value of the withdrawing Limited Partner’s Units as of the date of withdrawal (less any withdrawal fees or charges as described in the Partnership Agreement.
 
    For example, the net asset value of the Fund as of January 31 is provided to Limited Partners on February 7. With that knowledge, the Limited Partner may give notice from February 7 until March 1 and withdraw from the Fund as of March 31. Additionally, the Limited Partner may revoke their withdrawal request prior to March 31 by giving notice to the General Partner, and may choose to do so based on receiving the updated net asset value of the Fund as of February 28. The net asset value of the Limited Partner’s withdrawal proceeds will equal the net asset value of the Limited Partner’s Units as of March 31 (less any withdrawal fees or charges as described in the Partnership Agreement).
 
    Prospective Limited Partners will be notified of the Fund’s current net asset value and that of each Unit and Series therein, as well as the allocation of the Fund’s assets among third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds prior to, or contemporaneously with, receiving the Fund’s Partnership Agreement and Subscription Documents.
 
    The net asset value of the Fund as of any date is (i) the sum of all cash, managed futures funds investments (as valued by the relevant third party commodity pool operator or its administrator), U.S. government securities and other securities of the Fund valued at fair value, plus the fair value of all open futures, option, and foreign currency positions maintained in the Fund’s trading program and managed futures accounts, less all liabilities of the Fund, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States under the accrual basis of accounting.
 
    The transfer agent of the Fund, Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC is responsible for calculating the net asset value of each Class of Units, including each Class C Series. To determine the net asset value of each Unit, the transfer agent takes the following steps: first, the transfer agent takes the net asset value of the Fund and divides it pro rata among the Classes of Units. In the case of Class C Units, the transfer agent divides the net asset value of Class C among the four Series of Class C Units. Finally, the net asset value of each Unit is the net asset value of the Unit’s Class (or Series, in the case of Class C
 
 
45

 
Units) divided by the number of Units outstanding for such Class. To determine the value of the Limited Partner’s investment in the Fund as of any date, the net asset value of the Class A, Class C, and/or Class I Units, as applicable, is multiplied by the number of Units the Limited Partner owns. The number of Units a Limited Partner owns will be increased by additional capital contributions and decreased by withdrawals.


THE OFFERED SECURITIES
 
Description of Registrant’s Securities
 
     The Fund’s securities are titled “MA Managed Futures Fund, LP limited partnership units.” The Units have no dividend rights, and dividends will be paid in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Additionally, there are no conversion rights, preemption rights, or sinking fund provisions associated with the Units. The Units do not have any voting rights except in certain limited situations as described in the Fund’s Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) (such voting rights relate to replacement of the General Partner in limited circumstances or voting on an amendment to the Partnership Agreement that affects the rights of limited partners in a material way). The withdrawal rights of the Units are described in detail herein. Limited partners will not have any liability to further calls for capital or assessment by the Fund. The Fund will not impose liabilities on limited partners under state statutes. Transfers of Units may only be made with the prior written approval of the General Partner. There is no limit on the total amount of capital contributions a limited partner may make to the Fund, provided that the Fund’s total offering amount does not exceed the maximum allowable under this Prospectus. There are no provisions in the Partnership Agreement that would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of the Fund with regards to an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, tender offer, sale, or transfer of substantially all assets, or liquidation.
 
 
Determination of Offering Price
 
 
     The Fund’s “Units” will be assigned a net asset value by the Fund’s transfer agent, Mutual Shareholder Services LLC, which will determine the number of Class A, Class C, or Class I Units purchased by each Limited Partner at the time of their initial capital contribution. The initial value of the Units purchased by a Limited Partner will be the dollar value of their initial capital contributions to the Fund, less any front-end sales load. Each Limited Partner participates ratably in the profits and losses of the Fund with all other limited partners and the general partner in accordance with their respective ownership of Units.
 
 
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
 
 
     None of the Fund’s securities are “voting securities” entitled to vote on the business of the Fund except in certain limited circumstances as described in the Agreement of Limited Partnership. Therefore, this Prospectus does not disclose the ownership of certain beneficial owners in the Fund.
 
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     Capital contributions from investors will be credited to the Fund’s bank and brokerage accounts and will be used by the Fund for the purpose of engaging in the investment program described in this Prospectus. Approximately $130,605 of the proceeds received from capital contributions from investors will be used to reimburse the General Partner for the Fund’s organizational and initial offering costs.
 
     The Fund will deposit a portion of its assets in cash or U.S. government securities in separate accounts in the name of the Fund with the clearing brokers for use as margin. The assets deposited for margin purposes with the Fund’s clearing brokers will be held in “customer segregated funds accounts” or “foreign futures and foreign options secured amount accounts,” as required by the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations. Assets held by the clearing brokers will be held in cash or in cash equivalents.
 
     On an ongoing basis, the General Partner expects that the Fund will be able to earn interest on approximately forty percent (40%) of its daily net assets. All interest earned on Fund assets will accrue to the benefit of the Fund, and the General Partner will not receive any benefit from the approximately sixty percent (60%) of the Fund’s assets which do not earn interest.

     The General Partner does not expect to make any distributions of gains earned by the Fund, if any.
 
     The Fund will not lend any assets to any person or entity other than through permitted investments. The General Partner will not commingle the property of the Fund with the property of any other person, provided, however, that deposits with banks, futures or securities brokers, or foreign exchange and derivative dealers shall not be considered a prohibited commingling.

 
THIRD PARTY SUB-ADVISORS AND MANAGED FUTURES FUNDS

 
As of September 6, 2013, the Fund has executed no agreements with any third party commodity trading advisers or managed futures funds (also known as investee pools). Therefore, the Fund is not obligated to invest with any trading program or managed futures fund at this time. However, the General Partner is continually conducting due diligence on prospective third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds to be selected after the launch of the Fund. In the future, when the Fund signs agreements with such third party sub-advisors and managed futures funds, the Fund will be obligated to make such agreements available to investors online via the SEC’s EDGAR database.
 
The Fund may retain and remove trading advisers and investee pools on an ongoing basis. In each case, the Fund will limit its investment in each non-major commodity trading adviser and non-major investee pool to approximately eight percent (8%) of the Fund’s net asset value, but in no case shall an investment in any commodity trading adviser program or investee pool exceed 9.99% of the Fund’s net asset value, subject to the General Partner’s dynamic rebalancing on a quarterly basis. Accordingly, such third party sub-advisers and managed futures funds will be considered “non-major” for NFA purposes, as the Fund will devote less than ten percent (10%) of its assets to each such sub-adviser and managed futures fund. Furthermore, the Fund will at all times seek to limit the Fund’s investment in other managed futures funds to less than 3-5% of such funds’ net asset value for accounting purposes.
 
Neither the non-major commodity trading advisers, commodity pool operators of the non-major investee pools, nor their respective principals, will have any ownership or beneficial interest in the Fund.  The Fund will at all times invest at least three percent (3%) of its assets in U.S. government securities and cash or cash equivalents.
 
The commodity pool operators of the non-major investee pools and the non-major commodity trading advisers retained by the Fund, as well as their respective principals, may trade proprietary accounts from time to time. The records of such accounts will not be available for inspection by the Fund’s limited partners.
 
THE CLEARING BROKERS; THE INTRODUCING BROKER; ADMINISTRATION
 
The Futures Commission Merchant
 
     NewEdge USA, LLC (“NewEdge”) is a registered futures commission merchant (“FCM”) and is a member of the NFA. Its main office is located at 550 W. Jackson, Suite 500, Chicago, IL 60661, with branch offices in Chicago, Kansas City, New York, and San Francisco. In the normal course of its business, NewEdge is involved in various legal actions incidental to its commodities business. None of these actions are expected either individually or in aggregate to have a material adverse impact on NewEdge.

      The General Partner may select multiple FCMs at any time and change such FCM(s) without advance notice to Participants, provided that the General Partner will notify Participants of such selection or change within 21 days of the selection or change taking effect. The Fund has not retained an introducing broker. The managed futures funds in which the Fund invests and managed by third party commodity pool operators will retain those FCMs and introducing brokers selected by such third party commodity pool operator. The managed futures accounts of the Fund managed by third party sub-advisors may retain one or more FCMs and introducing brokers selected by such third party sub-advisor, which may consult with the General Partner when selecting such service providers.

 
47

 
      Funds deposited with the FCM for the purpose of trading on U.S. futures and options exchanges are required to be held separately by the FCM from the FCM’s own funds. The General Partner estimates that, over the course of a fiscal year, the Fund will, on average, allocate roughly 10% of its net assets to its account with one or more FCMs for the purpose of trading futures instruments under the General Partner’s trading program, while the remaining 90% of assets will be divided amongst managed futures funds and managed futures accounts operated by third party commodity pool operators and sub-advisors selected by the General Partner.
 
The Clearing Broker
 
     NewEdge will also serve as one of the Fund’s clearing brokers to execute and clear the Fund’s and its managed futures accounts’ futures transactions, execute the Fund’s exchange-traded, forward, and spot foreign currency transactions, and provide other brokerage-related services. NewEdge, acting as principal, will not execute any over-the-counter transactions with the Fund. NewEdge is a broker-dealer registered with the CFTC and the SEC, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).

NewEdge Disclosures

The following is a list of civil, administrative, and criminal actions, pending or concluded, against NewEdge, its parent, Newedge Group, SA, and their respective affiliates and principals (collectively, “NewEdge” or the “firm”) during the past five years as reported and disclosed by NewEdge which would be considered “material” as that term is defined in Section 4.24(I)(2) of the Regulations of the CFTC:

The following is a list of material actions that have been conducted against NewEdge in the last five years as disclosed through the NFA’s Background Affiliation Status Information Center:

·  
in August 2013, the Disciplinary Committee of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange charged NewEdge with violating MGEX Rule 718.01 for offsetting delivery month positions without the benefit of trade activity and MGEX Resolution 2101.00.C for reporting long positions lists for delivery after the deadline. NewEdge was fined $50,000;
 
·  
in July 2013, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”), the Commodity Exchange (“COMEX”); and the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) each found that NewEdge has violated Rule 561 regarding the reporting of large positions from May 1-31, 2013. NewEdge was collectively fined $7,500;
 
·  
in June 2013, the IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (“ICE”) found that NewEdge violated Rule 6.10 by improperly coding an account cleared to NewEdge with multiple CTI codes. Newedge was fined $1,000;
 
·  
in April 2013, ICE found that NewEdge violated ICE Clear Rule 403(a) by reporting inaccurate open interest data on December 13, 2011 and ICE Futures Rule 4.13 by failing to comply with the terms of an existing order to cease and desist from violations of ICE Clear Rule 403(a). NewEdge was fined $20,000;
 
·  
in April 2013, the CME found that during the period of February 1 – 28, 2013, NewEdge reported several instances of incorrect large trader positions and late position adjustments, and involving its omnibus accounts. NewEdge was fined $2,500;
 
 
48

 
·  
in February 2013, the CME found that, during the month of December 2012, NewEdge reported several instances involving incorrect large trader positions, late position adjustments, including for its omnibus accounts. NewEdge was fined $1,500;
 
·  
in August 2012, the ICE found that NewEdge violated ICE futures Rule 4.31(c) in two instances by failing to report a Block Trade within five minutes of execution. NewEdge was fined $1000;

·  
in June 2012, ICE found that NewEdge violated ICE futures Rule 4.31(c) in two instances by failing to report a Block Trade within five minutes of execution. NewEdge was fined $500;

·  
in January 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) found that from about March 2011 through about July 2011, NewEdge’s large trader position reports submitted to the CFTC contained errors. The types of errors included 1) reporting incorrect commodity codes, 2) overstating and understating positions in omnibus accounts, 3) overstating and understating large trader positions, 4) overstating and understating open interest, 5) issuing erroneous delivery notices, 6) reporting positions as net when they should be reported as gross, 7) reporting exchange of futures for physicals or cash positions and exchange of futures for swaps positions that do not exist, and 8) failing to report required positions. As a result, the CFTC ordered NewEdge to pay $700,000 and required NewEdge to cease and desist from violating the Commodity Exchange Act’s requirements to timely submit accurate position reports and notices, and to implement and maintain procedures to prevent and detect reporting violations of the Act and CFTC regulations;

·  
in December 2011, pursuant to the results of a back office CTR audit, the CME found that NewEdge was in violation of the CTR collection deadline error rate by exceeding the 20% error level mandated by Rule 536.F. Accordingly, NewEdge was issued a $10,000 fine for its third violation of Rule 536.F within 24 months;

·  
in December 2011, a panel of the Chicago Board of Trade (“CBOT”) found that on January 11, 2011, NewEdge submitted an in-house transfer to the clearing house with inaccurate trade data for an expiring contract. This reporting error originated from a give-in NewEdge received with inaccurate information which then required manual handling. While attempting to correct this give-in transaction that was erroneously designated as a customer account origin, NewEdge incorrectly submitted the in-house transfer to CME Clearing as January 2011 Soybean futures rather than the January 2012 contract due to a clerical typographical error. As a result, the open interest in January 2011 Soybean futures was overstated by 3,750 contracts. Due to this reporting error’s inclusion in the Daily Bulletin and on the Exchange website, CME Group was required to publish a correction, remove the open interest and rerun the Final Daily Bulletin. In so doing, NewEdge failed to submit accurate trade data to CME Clearing in violation of CBOT Rule 809.A. In accordance with a settlement offer, the panel fined NewEdge $25,000;

·  
in April 2011, a panel of CBOT found that on December 3, 2009, a non-member customer of NewEdge held a short December 2009 Denatured Fuel Ethanol futures position of 103 contracts beyond the contract’s expiration at a time when the customer had been authorized to issue and register a maximum of only 92 shipping certificates for delivery. As the clearing member carrying an account required to make delivery, NewEdge bore complete responsibility for the performance of all delivery requirements. Three hours after the 10:00 a.m. December 4, 2009, delivery deadline, NewEdge’s customer was able to contact an eligible counterparty for an Exchange for Physical (“EFP”) transaction, the execution of which discharged NewEdge’s delivery obligations for the remaining 11 short positions. As the counterparty was not identified until after the 10:00 a.m. delivery deadline, the Exchange’s clearing and delivery processes were likewise delayed. The panel found that in so doing NewEdge violated CBOT Rule 716. In accordance with a settlement offer the panel fined NewEdge $50,000 and directed NewEdge to provide documented proof of its policies and procedures regarding settlements and deliveries of physically delivered contracts implemented pursuant to CBOT Rule 716;

·  
in March 2011, pursuant to the results of a back office CTR audit, the CME found that on May 18, 2010 and May 19, 2010, NewEdge violated the CTR collection deadline error rate by exceeding the 20% error level mandated by CME Rule 536.F. NewEdge was issued a $5,000 fine for its second violation of CME Rule 536.F within 24 months;

·  
in February 2011, the CFTC found that NewEdge purchased 4,495 October 2009 live cattle futures contracts on the CME from a client and sold to the client an over-the-counter swap in live cattle on October 9, 2009. The purchase gave NewEdge a long position that exceeded the 450 contract speculative limit for trading live cattle futures on the CME in the current delivery month in violation of the Commodity Exchange Act. Additionally, the CFTC found that between June 2009 and July 2010, NewEdge’s large trader position reports overstated positions in omnibus accounts, reported transactions that did not occur, and reported positions for accounts as net when they should be reported as gross, among other violations. As a result, the CFTC ordered NewEdge to pay a  civil monetary penalty of $140,000 and disgorge $80,910 for violating speculative position limits in live cattle futures trading and required NewEdge to implement and maintain a program designed to prevent and detect reporting violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations;

·  
in January 2011, ICE found that NewEdge violated ICE Clear U.S. Rule 403(a) in four instances by reporting inaccurate position and open interest data in a failure to comply with the terms of an existing settlement and fined NewEdge $100,000;

·  
in December 2010, ICE found that NewEdge violated ICE Rule 4.31(c) by failing to report a block trade within five minutes of execution and fined NewEdge $1,000;

·  
in December 2010, a panel of the CME found that on October 9, 2009, NewEdge executed three October 2009 Live Cattle EFRPs as a counterparty to its customer with the intent of executing an equal, offsetting EFRP transaction on October 12, 2009. NewEdge cleared the EFRP transaction on behalf of itself, but failed to exercise due diligence to ensure that the transactions were bona fide. While executing the EFRP transactions NewEdge carried a position of 4495 contracts in the expiring Live Cattle futures contract, which exceeded the applicable speculative position limit of 450 contracts. The panel found that, in so doing, NewEdge violated CME Rule 538 and associated MRAN RA0910-5, Rule 443, and Rule 432.Q. In accordance with a settlement offer, the panel ordered NewEdge to pay a fine of $80,000;

·  
in November 2010, ICE found that NewEdge violated ICE Rule 27.22(b) in four instances when employees engaged in prohibited pre-execution communications and executed transactions arising from the pre-execution communications, violated Rule 2.29(k) in two instances when employees executed pre-arranged trades, and violated Rule 2.29(e) in three instances when employees engaged in conduct detrimental to the best interests of the exchange.

·  
in October 2009, pursuant to the results of a back office CTR audit, for trade dates May 4 & 5, 2009, NewEdge’s collection deadline error rate exceeded the 20% threshold level and data entry error rate exceeded the 10% threshold level. Pursuant to the Rule 536.F sanction schedule, NewEdge was issued a $5,000 fine for its second violation of Rule 536.F within 24 months;

The Introducing Broker
 
     The Fund will not have an introducing broker.
 
The Administrator
 
     NAV Consulting, Inc., a Delaware corporation  (the “Administrator”), will serve as the Fund’s administrator. Pursuant to an Administration Agreement between the Fund and the Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”), the Administrator will be responsible for, among other things: (i) journalizing investment, capital, and income and expense activities; (ii) recording futures trading activity by receiving a data file from the Fund’s clearing brokers; (iii) calculating the management fees and incentive allocations charged to the Fund, as applicable, and the front-end load fees and annual sales fees; (iv) computing the net asset value of the Fund and each Unit and Series thereof; and (v) performing all other accounting, administration, and investor services necessary in connection with the Fund.
 
     The Accounting Agreement provides that the Administrator shall not be liable to the Fund or any Limited Partner for any acts or omissions in connection with the services rendered to the Fund or such Limited Partner under such agreement in the absence of gross negligence, intentional acts, or willful misconduct. In addition, the Fund has agreed to indemnify the Administrator from any and all expenses, costs, damages, or causes of action, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the Administrator in connection with the Administration Agreement and not resulting from the unauthorized acts of the Administrator, its employees, or agents, the negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator in the performance of such obligations and duties, or by reason of its breach of the Administration Agreement.

DISTRIBUTIONS; WITHDRAWALS
 
Distributions
 
     The Fund is not required to make any distributions to Limited Partners. While the General Partner has the authority to make such distributions, it does not intend to do so given that Limited Partners may withdraw from the Fund as of the end of any calendar month with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.
 
Withdrawals
 
     A Limited Partner may withdraw from the Fund, in whole or in part, as of the end of each calendar month. A request for less than a complete withdrawal that would reduce a Limited Partner’s remaining Units to a net asset value of less than $1,000 will be treated as a request for a complete withdrawal. Limited Partners must transmit a written withdrawal request to the General Partner or the Fund’s Administrator not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the calendar month (or such shorter period as permitted by the General Partner) as of which such withdrawal is to be effective. The request for withdrawal must specify the dollar amount for which withdrawal is sought unless a full withdrawal is requested. Withdrawal proceeds will generally be paid within thirty (30) days after the effective date of the withdrawal. However, in special circumstances, including, but not limited to, inability to liquidate dealers’ positions as of a withdrawal date or default or delay in payments due from clearing brokers, banks, or other persons or entities, the Fund may in turn delay payment to persons requesting withdrawal of that part of the net assets of the Fund represented by the sums that are the subject of such default or delay, and withdrawing Limited Partners will be paid their pro rata portion of the withdrawal amount not subject to default or delay. No such delays have been imposed to date by any pool sponsored by the General Partner.
 


MA MANAGED FUTURES FUND, LP AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
     The following is a summary of the Agreement of Limited Partnership (“Partnership Agreement”), a form of which is attached as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.
 
Organization and Limited Liabilities
 
     MA Managed Futures Fund, LP is organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended (the “Act”). The Partnership Agreement provides that the Fund may establish one or more designated Classes of partnership Units. Under the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has designated three classes of Units: Class A, Class C, and Class I. Additionally, the General Partner has designated four series of Class C Units: Series I, Series II, Series III, and Series IV. The General Partner may designate other Classes or Series under the Partnership Agreement as provided therein. In general, the liability of a Limited Partner under the Act is limited to the value of his Units. However, Limited Partners could be required, as a matter of law, to return to the Fund any distributions or withdrawal proceeds which they received at a time when the Fund was insolvent or which was made in violation of the Partnership Agreement.
 
Management of Fund Affairs
 
     The Partnership Agreement effectively gives the General Partner, as general partner, full control over the management and operations of the Fund, as well as authority to delegate such control to one or more third party sub-advisors, and the Partnership Agreement gives no management role to the Limited
 
 
54

 
Partners. The Limited Partners have no voice in the operations of the Fund, other than certain limited voting rights as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. In the course of its management, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, appoint an affiliate or affiliates of the General Partner as additional general partners and retain such persons, including affiliates of the General Partner, as it deems necessary for the efficient operation of the Fund.
 
     Agents and Corporations, Inc. will accept service of legal process on the Fund in the State of Delaware. The General Partner has been designated as the “tax matters partner” of the Fund for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
 
Sharing of Gains and Losses
 
     Each Limited Partner of the Fund will share ratably in the gains and losses of the Fund. After paying any front-end sales load, each Limited Partner will purchase Units at the current net asset value of such Units. The number of Units owned by a Limited Partner will be adjusted for additional capital contributions and withdrawals on a monthly basis. The net asset value of each Class and Series of Units will be increased or decreased monthly in accordance with their pro rata share of the Fund’s gains or losses. Each Unit and Series will then be assessed its applicable annual sales charge (Class C Units only), General Partner management fee, and General Partner incentive allocation. The Fund’s gains and losses will be calculated in accordance with GAAP, which includes trading gains and losses, interest income, other income, and operating expenses.
 
Federal Tax Allocations
 
     At year-end, the General Partner will determine the total taxable income or loss for the year attributable to the Fund. Subject to the special allocation of net capital gain or loss, the taxable gain or loss is allocated to each Partner in proportion to their ownership of Units and each Partner is responsible for his share of taxable income attributable to their Units. For net capital gain and loss, the gains and losses are first allocated to each Partner who withdrew from the Fund during the year. Net capital gain and loss is then allocated to each Partner whose Units’ tax accounts are greater or less than their Units’ capital accounts, so as to eliminate the disparity. Finally, the remaining net capital gain or loss is then allocated to each Partner in proportion to their ownership of Units. Each Partner’s tax basis is increased by the taxable income allocated to them and reduced by any distributions received and losses allocated to them. Upon liquidation of the Fund, each Partner will receive their proportionate share of Fund assets.
 
Dispositions
 
     A Limited Partner may withdraw from the Fund, in whole or in part, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the General Partner. Additionally, a Limited Partner may assign his Units to an assignee. No such assignee may become a substituted Limited Partner except with the consent of the General Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner may withhold such consent only to prevent or minimize adverse legal or tax consequences to the Fund. An assignee not admitted to the Fund as a Limited Partner will have only rights to its share of the gains and capital of the Fund and withdrawal rights. Assignees receive “carry-over” tax accounts and Units from their assignors, irrespective of the amount paid for the assigned Units.
 
Dissolution and Termination of the Fund
 
     The Fund will be terminated and dissolved upon the happening of the earlier of: 1) the General Partner withdraws as general partner and no new general partner is appointed; 2) the continued existence of the Fund becomes unlawful, or; 3) the Fund is dissolved by operation of law.
 
Amendments and Meetings
 
     As described in Article 10 of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership Agreement may be amended with the consent of the General Partner and the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners, provided that the General Partner may amend the Partnership Agreement from time to time, without
 
 
55

 
the consent, approval, authorization, or other action of any Limited Partner, if, in the opinion of the General Partner, the amendment does not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners generally; and provided further that no amendment may be adopted without the unanimous consent of the Partners to the extent it would (a) change the Fund to a general partnership or change the limited liability of the Limited Partners under the Act, or (b) terminate the Fund’s status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
 
Exculpation and Indemnification

       Neither the General Partner, nor any member, employee, agent, or other affiliate of the General Partner, nor any board or body with respect to the General Partner or the Fund (each, an “Indemnitee”) will be liable to the Fund or to any Partner for any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnitee in connection with the Partnership Agreement or the Fund’s business or affairs, and no such act or omission will in and of itself constitute a breach of any duty owed by any Indemnitee to the Fund or any Limited Partner thereunder or under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, provided such act or omission did not constitute a willful violation of law. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Fund or to a Partner, such Indemnitee acting under the Partnership Agreement will not be liable to the Fund or to any Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Such provisions, to the extent they restrict or limit the duties or liabilities of an Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to modify such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee. For purposes of the Partnership Agreement, “Indemnitee” does not include other investment entities managed by the General Partner that may be considered to be Affiliates of the General Partner solely because they are managed by the General Partner.
 
     To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Indemnitee who was or is made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative (a “Proceeding”) or any appeal in such a Proceeding, by reason of such Indemnitee’s management of the affairs of the Fund, participation in such management, or rendering of advice or consultation with respect thereto, or that relate to the Fund, its business, or its affairs, will be indemnified and held harmless by the Fund, to the extent of the Fund’s assets, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint and/or several), expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts (“Losses”) that relate to such Proceeding, except to the extent such Losses arise from actions or failures to act that are finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted a willful violation of law by such Indemnitee. A person or entity will be entitled to the indemnification prescribed in the preceding sentence whether or not such person or entity continues or continued to be a General Partner or an employee, member, partner, agent, or Affiliate of the General Partner at the time any Proceeding commences or a loss is suffered, paid, or incurred by the Fund.
 
Reports to Limited Partners
 
     The General Partner will provide various reports and statements to the Limited Partners including: 1) a monthly unaudited income statement of the Fund’s activities; 2) annual audited financial statements, and; 3) tax information necessary for the preparation of the Limited Partners’ annual federal income tax returns.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX ASPECTS
 
     The following constitutes the opinion of Malik Dwyer LLP and summarizes the material federal income tax consequences to individual investors in the Fund. The following is based upon interpretations of existing laws in effect on the date of this Prospectus, and no assurance can be given that courts or fiscal authorities responsible for the administration of such laws will agree with the interpretations or that changes in such laws will not occur.
 
Partnership Tax Status
 
     The General Partner anticipates that the Fund will be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, provided that at least 90% of the gross income of the Fund constitutes “qualifying income” within the meaning of Section 7704(d) of the Code, the Fund will not be a publicly traded partnership
 
 
56

 
treated as a corporation. The General Partner believes it is likely, but not certain, that the Fund will meet this income test. The Fund has not requested, and does not intend to request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) concerning its tax treatment. The foregoing statements are not binding on the IRS or the courts and is subject to any changes in applicable tax laws.
 
Taxation of Limited Partners on Gains and Losses of the Fund
 
     Each Limited Partner must pay tax on his share of the annual income and gains of the Fund, if any, even if the Fund does not make any cash distributions. The Fund generally allocates its gains and losses in accordance with the ownership of the Fund’s Units. However, a Limited Partner who withdraws from the Fund will be allocated his share of the Fund’s capital gains and losses in order that the amount of cash the Limited Partner receives for such withdrawal equals the Limited Partner’s adjusted tax basis in that part of their Units that have been withdrawn, less any offering or syndication expenses allocated to that part of their Units that have been withdrawn. A Limited Partner’s adjusted tax basis in that part of their Units that have been withdrawn equals the original purchase price of such Units, increased by income or gains allocated to the Units and decreased (but not below zero) by fees, distributions, deductions, or losses allocated to the Units.
 
Deduction of Losses by Limited Partners
 
     A Limited Partner may deduct losses only to the extent of his tax basis in his Units. Generally, a Limited Partner’s tax basis in his Units is the purchase price of such Units reduced (but not below zero) by his share of any Fund fees, distributions, losses, and expenses and increased by his share of Fund income and gains. However, a Limited Partner subject to “at-risk” limitations (generally, non-corporate taxpayers and closely-held corporations) can only deduct losses to the extent he is “at-risk.” The “at-risk” amount is similar to tax basis, except that it does not include any amount borrowed on a non-recourse basis or from someone with an interest in the Fund.
 
“Passive-Activity Loss Rules” and Their Effect on the Treatment of Income and Loss
 
     The investment activities of the Fund are not a “passive activity.” Accordingly, a Limited Partner can deduct Fund losses from taxable income. However, a Limited Partner cannot offset losses from “passive activities” against Fund gains.
 
Cash Distributions and Withdrawals
 
     Cash received from the Fund by a Limited Partner as a distribution with respect to his Units or in withdrawal of less than all of his Units generally is not reportable as taxable income by a Partner, except as described below. Rather, such distribution reduces (but not below zero) the total tax basis of the remaining Units held by the Limited Partner after the withdrawal. Any cash distribution by the Fund in excess of a Limited Partner’s adjusted tax basis for his Units is taxable to him as gain from the withdrawal or transfer of such Units. Because a Limited Partner’s tax basis in his Units is not increased on account of his distributive share of the Fund’s income until the end of the Fund’s taxable year, distributions during the taxable year could result in taxable gain to a Limited Partner even though no gain would result if the same distributions were made at the end of the taxable year. Furthermore, the share of the Fund’s income allocable to a Limited Partner at the end of the Fund’s taxable year would also be includable in the Limited Partner’s taxable income and would increase their tax basis in their remaining Units as of the end of such taxable year.
 
     Withdrawals by a Limited Partner will result in the recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. Such gain or loss will be equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of the cash distribution and the Limited Partner’s adjusted tax basis for their Units. A Limited Partner’s adjusted tax basis for his Units includes for this purpose their distributive share of the Fund’s income or loss for the year of such withdrawal.

Gain or Loss on Section 1256 Contracts and Non-Section 1256 Contracts
 
     Section 1256 Contracts are futures and most options traded on U.S. exchanges and certain foreign currency contracts. For tax purposes, Section 1256 Contracts that remain open at year-end are treated as if the position were closed at year-end. The gain or loss on Section 1256 Contracts is characterized as 60% long-term capital gain or loss and 40% short-term capital gain or loss, regardless of how long the position was open. Gain and loss from these non-Section 1256 Contracts is generally short-term capital gain or loss or ordinary income or loss.
 
Tax on Capital Gains and Losses
 
     Long-term capital gains — net gain on capital assets held more than one year and 60% of the gain on Section 1256 Contracts — are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Short-term capital gains — net gain on capital assets held one year or less and 40% of the gain on Section 1256 Contracts — are subject to tax at the same rates as ordinary income. Individual taxpayers can deduct capital losses only to the extent of their capital gains plus $3,000. Accordingly, the Fund could suffer significant losses and a Limited Partner could still be required to pay taxes on their share of the Fund’s interest income. An individual taxpayer can carry back net capital losses on Section 1256 Contracts three years to offset earlier gains on Section 1256 Contracts. To the extent the taxpayer cannot offset past Section 1256 Contract gains, he can carry forward such losses indefinitely as losses on Section 1256 Contracts.
 
Interest Income
 
     Interest received by the Fund is taxed as ordinary income. Net capital losses can offset ordinary income only to the extent of $3,000 per year. See “Tax on Capital Gains and Losses,” above.
 
Limited Deduction for Certain Expenses
 
     The General Partner does not consider the management fees and the incentive allocations, as well as other ordinary expenses of the Fund, to be investment advisory expenses or other expenses of producing income. Accordingly, the General Partner intends to treat these expenses as ordinary business deductions not subject to the material deductibility limitations which apply to investment advisory expenses. The IRS could contend otherwise and to the extent the IRS recharacterizes these expenses, a Limited Partner would have the amount of the ordinary expenses allocated to them reduced accordingly.
 
Syndication Fees
 
     Neither the Fund nor any Limited Partner is entitled to any deduction for syndication expenses, if any, in the year they reduce net asset value, nor can these expenses be amortized by the Fund or any Limited Partner even though the payment of such expenses reduces net asset value.
 
Investment Interest Deductibility Limitations
 
     Individual taxpayers can deduct “investment interest” — interest on indebtedness allocable to property held for investment — only to the extent that it does not exceed net investment income. Net investment income does not include adjusted net capital gain taxed at the lower rate.
 
Unrelated Business Taxable Income
 
     Tax-exempt Limited Partners will not be required to pay tax on their share of income or gains of the Fund, provided that such Limited Partners do not purchase Units in the Fund with borrowed funds and that the Fund’s accounts do not utilize leverage.
 
Taxation of Foreign Limited Partners
 
     A Limited Partner who is a non-resident alien individual, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (a “Foreign Limited Partner”) generally is not subject to taxation by the United States on capital gains from commodity or derivatives trading, provided that such Foreign Limited Partner (in the case of an individual) does not spend more than 182 days in the United States during his or her taxable year, and provided further, that such Foreign Limited Partner is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States during a taxable year to which income, gain, or loss is treated as “effectively connected.” An investment in the Fund should not, by itself, cause a Foreign Limited Partner to be engaged in a trade or business within the United States for the foregoing purposes, assuming that the investment activities of the Fund will be conducted as described in this Prospectus. Pursuant
 
 
58

 
to a “safe harbor” in the Code, an investment fund whose U.S. business activities consist solely of trading commodities and derivatives for its own account should not be treated as engaged in a trade or business within the United States provided that such investment fund is not a dealer in commodities or derivatives and that the commodities traded are of a kind customarily dealt in on an organized commodity exchange. The General Partner has advised Malik Dwyer LLP of the contracts that the Fund may trade in its trading program or in its managed futures accounts. Based on a review of such contracts as of the date of this Prospectus, the General Partner has been advised by its counsel, Malik Dwyer LLP, that such contracts should satisfy the safe harbor. If the contracts traded in the Fund’s trading program or its managed futures accounts in the future were not covered by the safe harbor, there is a risk that the Fund would be treated as engaged in a trade or business within the United States. In the event that the Fund were found to be engaged in a United States trade or business, a Foreign Limited Partner would be required to file a United States federal income tax return for such year and pay tax at full United States rates. In the case of a Foreign Limited Partner which is a foreign corporation, an additional 30% “branch profits” tax might be imposed. Furthermore, in such event the Fund would be required to withhold taxes from the income or gain allocable to such a Foreign Limited Partner under Section 1446 of the Code.
 
     A Foreign Limited Partner is not subject to United States tax on certain interest income, including income attributable to (i) original issue discount on Treasury bills having a maturity of 183 days or less or (ii) commercial bank deposits, provided, in either case, that such Foreign Limited Partner is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States during a taxable year. Additionally, a Foreign Limited Partner not engaged in a trade or business within the United States is not subject to United States tax on interest income (other than certain so-called “contingent interest”) attributable to obligations issued after July 18, 1984 that are in registered form if the Foreign Limited Partner provides the Fund with the appropriate Form W-8.
 
IRS Audits of the Fund and its Limited Partners
 
     The IRS audits partnership-related items at the entity level rather than at the partner level. The General Partner acts as “tax matters partner” for the Fund, and has the authority to determine the Fund’s responses to an audit. If an audit results in an adjustment, all Limited Partners may be required to pay additional taxes, interest, and penalties.
 
State and Other Taxes
 
     In addition to the federal income tax consequences described above, the Fund and the Limited Partners may be subject to various state and other taxes. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO INVEST IN THE FUND.
 
INVESTMENT BY EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
General
 
     The following section sets forth certain consequences under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and the Code, which a fiduciary of an “employee benefit plan” as defined in, and subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of, ERISA or of a “plan” as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code who has investment discretion should consider before deciding to invest any of such plan’s assets in the Fund (such “employee benefit plans” and “plans” being referred to herein as “Plans,” and such fiduciaries with investment discretion being referred to herein as “Plan Fiduciaries”). The following summary is not intended to be complete, but only to address certain questions under ERISA and the Code which are likely to be raised by the Plan Fiduciary’s own counsel.
 
 
59

 
     In general, the terms “employee benefit plan,” as defined in ERISA and “plan,” as defined in Section 4975 of the Code together refer to any plan or account of various types which provides retirement benefits or welfare benefits to an individual or to an employer’s employees and their beneficiaries. Such plans and accounts include, but are not limited to, corporate pension and profit sharing plans, “simplified employee pension plans,” Keogh plans for self-employed individuals (including partners), individual retirement accounts described in Section 408 of the Code, and medical benefit plans.
 
     Each Plan Fiduciary must give appropriate consideration to the facts and circumstances that are relevant to an investment in the Fund, including the role an investment in the Fund plays in the Plan’s investment portfolio. Each Plan Fiduciary, before deciding to invest in the Fund, must be satisfied that investment in the Fund is a prudent investment for the Plan, that the investments of the Plan, including the investment in the Fund, are diversified so as to minimize the risk of large losses, and that an investment in the Fund complies with the documents of the Plan and related trust.
 
     EACH PLAN FIDUCIARY CONSIDERING ACQUIRING UNITS IN THE FUND MUST CONSULT ITS OWN LEGAL AND TAX ADVISORS BEFORE DOING SO.
 
“Plan Assets”
 
     The purchase of Units in the Fund by a Plan raises the issue of whether that purchase will cause, for purposes of Title I of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, the underlying assets of the Fund to constitute assets of such Plan. A regulation issued under ERISA (the “ERISA Regulation”) contains rules for determining when an investment by a Plan in an entity will result in the underlying assets of such entity being considered assets of such Plan for purposes of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code ( i.e. , “plan assets”). Those rules provide that assets of an entity will not be considered assets of a Plan which purchases an equity interest in the entity if certain exceptions apply, including an exception applicable if the equity interest purchased is a “publicly-offered security” (the “Publicly-Offered Security Exception”). Another exception that may apply is the exception set forth in Section 3(42) of ERISA (the “25% Exception”).
 
     The Publicly-Offered Security Exception applies if the equity interest is a security that is (1) “freely transferable,” (2) part of a class of securities that is “widely held,” and; (3) either (a) part of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (b) sold to the Plan as part of a public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and the class of which such security is a part is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within 120 days (or such later time as may be allowed by the SEC) after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer in which the offering of such security occurred. The ERISA Regulation states that the determination of whether a security is “freely transferable” is to be made based on all relevant facts and circumstances. The ERISA Regulation specifies that, in the case of a security that is part of an offering in which the minimum investment is $10,000 or less, the following requirements, alone or in combination, ordinarily will not affect a finding that the security is freely transferable: (i) a requirement that no transfer or assignment of the security or rights in respect thereof be made that would violate any federal or state law; (ii) a requirement that no transfer or assignment be made without advance written notice given to the entity that issued the security, and; (iii) any restriction on substitution of an assignee as “a limited partner of a partnership, including a general partner consent requirement, provided that the economic benefits of ownership of the assignor may be transferred or assigned without regard to such restriction or consent” (other than compliance with any of the foregoing restrictions). Under the ERISA Regulation, a class of securities is “widely held” only if it is of a class of securities owned by 100 or more investors independent of the issuer and of each other. A class of securities will not fail to be widely held solely because subsequent to the initial offering the number of independent investors falls below 100 as a result of events beyond the issuer’s control.
 
     The 25% Exception applies with respect to an entity if less than 25% of the total value of each class of equity interests of the entity are held by “benefit plan investors” (determined by not including the investments of persons with discretionary authority or control over the assets of such entity, of any person who provides investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to such assets, and “affiliates” (as defined in the ERISA Regulation) of such persons; provided, however, that under no circumstances are investments by benefit plan investors excluded from such calculation). The term “benefit
 
 
60

 
plan investors” includes all Plans ( i.e. , all “employee benefit plans” as defined in and subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA and all “plans” as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code) and all entities that hold “plan assets” (each, a “Plan Assets Entity”) due to investments made in such entities by already described benefit plan investors. ERISA provides that a Plan Assets Entity is considered to hold plan assets only to the extent of the percentage of the Plan Assets Entity’s equity interests held by benefit plan investors. In addition, all or a portion of an investment made by an insurance company using assets from its general account may be treated as a benefit plan investor.
 
     During such time, if any, the Fund has more than 100 independent investors, it is expected that the Publicly-Offered Security Exception should apply to the Fund’s Units pursuant to the rules described above. During such time, as any, that the Publicly-Offered Security Exception does not apply to the Fund, as determined by the General Partner, the Fund intends to comply with the 25% Exception with respect to the Fund. This may require the Fund to restrict investments by benefit plan investors and to force mandatory withdrawals of existing benefit plan investors in the event that non-benefit plan investors withdraw from the Fund. Any such rejection of capital contributions or mandatory withdrawals will be effected in such manner as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines. In order to enable the General Partner to monitor the level of investment by benefit plan investors for purposes of the 25% Exception, each investor will be required to provide representations regarding whether it is a benefit plan investor.
 
Ineligible Purchasers
 
     In general, Units in the Fund may not be purchased with the assets of a Plan if the General Partner, the administrator, any wholesaler, any additional selling agent, or any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective agents or employees: (i) has investment discretion with respect to the investment of such plan assets; (ii) has authority or responsibility to give or regularly gives investment advice with respect to such plan assets, for a fee, and pursuant to an agreement or understanding that such advice will serve as a primary basis for investment decisions with respect to such plan assets and that such advice will be based on the particular investment needs of the Plan; or (iii) is an employer maintaining or contributing to such Plan, except as is otherwise permissible under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. A party that is described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence is a fiduciary under ERISA and the Code with respect to the Plan, and any such purchase might result in a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA and the Code.
 
     Except as otherwise set forth, the foregoing statements regarding the consequences under ERISA and the Code of an investment in the Fund are based on the provisions of the Code and ERISA as currently in effect, and the existing administrative and judicial interpretations thereunder. No assurance can be given that administrative, judicial, or legislative changes will not occur that may make the foregoing statements incorrect or incomplete.
 
     Acceptance of capital contributions on behalf of Plans is in no respect a representation by the Fund, the General Partner, any selling agent, or any other party related to the Fund that this investment meets some or all of the relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by any particular Plan or that this investment is appropriate for any particular Plan. The person with investment discretion should consult with his or her financial and legal advisors as to the propriety of an investment in the Fund in light of the circumstances of the particular Plan, ERISA, and current tax law.
 
 
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
Capital Contribution Procedure
 
     Units in the Fund are offered on a “best efforts” basis without any firm underwriting commitment through selling agents registered as broker-dealers and members of FINRA. Capital Contributions will be accepted during the initial offering period, scheduled to end at 5:00 p.m. in New York, NY on                       , 2013 but subject to extension for up to 3 month(s), and thereafter on an ongoing basis. After the initial offering period, capital contributions will be accepted as of the last business day of each calendar month. The minimum initial investment in Class A Units and Class C Units is $5,000 and the
 
 
61

 
minimum initial investment in Class I Units is $1,000,000. The minimum additional investment in Class A Units, Class C Units, and Class I Units is $1,000.
 
     In order to become a Limited Partner, an investor must complete, sign, and deliver to his or her selling agent an original of the Subscription Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with a check in the amount of the capital contribution. Checks should be made payable to “MA Managed Futures Fund, LP.” Capital contributions are required to be promptly transmitted to Huntington National Bank or the Fund’s transfer agent, Mutual Shareholder Services (the “Transfer Agent”) for forwarding to Huntington National Bank, where a non-interest bearing account for the Fund will be maintained. Alternatively, capital contributions may be sent by wire transfer directly to Huntington National Bank pursuant to the instructions in the Subscription Agreement. There are no fees applicable to capital contributions held in accounts with Huntington National Bank pending investment in the Fund.
 
     Clients of certain selling agents may make capital contribution payments by authorizing their selling agent to debit their customer account for the amount of the contribution. When an investor authorizes such a debit, the investor will be required to have the amount of his or her capital contribution payment on deposit in his or her account on a settlement date specified by such selling agent. The selling agent will debit the account and transmit the debited funds directly to the Fund’s account with Huntington National Bank via check or wire transfer. The settlement date specified by such selling agents shall be no later than the termination of the initial offering period and, thereafter, the applicable month-end closing date until termination of the offering occurs on September 30, 2015.
 
     Investors must submit capital contribution payments at least five (5) business days prior to the applicable month-end closing date and may be accepted once payments are received and cleared. Capital contributions are final and binding on an investor as of the close of business on the fifth business day following the submission of the investor’s Subscription Agreement to the investor’s selling agent.
 
     The General Partner will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to accept or reject a capital contribution, in whole or in part. The General Partner will make its determination within five (5) business days of receipt of a capital contribution. The General Partner will notify investors of, and will return, rejected contributions to investors within five (5) business days following the end of the month in which the contribution was rejected, or sooner if practicable. The selling agents will confirm sales to their customers generally within five (5) business days of the month-end closing date, and investors will thereafter receive monthly account statements from the Fund. The General Partner will make every reasonable effort to determine the suitability of prospective investors through information received on the Subscription Agreement.
 
Marketing of Units
 
    Class A Units. The Class A Units will be marketed through broker-dealers. The principals of the General Partner, MA Capital Management, LLC, will identify the licensed broker-dealers who will be responsible for marketing the Fund’s Class A Units. After identifying such broker-dealers, the principals of the General Partner will explain all aspects of the Fund’s management, investment methodology, risks, and return expectations to such persons. Additionally, the principals of the General Partner may conduct education webinars to explain the benefits of the Fund’s strategy as well as the risks involved and to answer the various questions that may arise. The principals will also explain the fee structure whereby the front-end sales load will be collected by the Fund and passed on to the broker-dealer upon the execution of the investor’s Subscription Agreement and receipt of their capital contribution. At this point, the General Partner will provide electronic copies of this Prospectus and the Fund’s Subscription Agreement to the broker-dealers. All sales commission calculations and payments will be handled by the Fund’s administrator.
 
    Class C Units and Class I Units. The Class C Units and Class I Units will be marketed through various channels, including registered investment advisers (“RIAs”), direct marketing channels, and database listings. The procedure of marketing the Class C and Class I Units through RIAs is substantially similar to that described for the marketing of Class A Units through broker-dealers, described above. For the General Partner’s direct marketing channels, the principals of the General Partner will utilize the internet heavily in their marketing campaign, including banner advertising, pay-per-click advertisements on financial news websites, and other channels to drive traffic to the General Partner’s website. Furthermore, the General Partner will utilize a direct marketing campaign to approach qualified investors who have expressed an interest in the Fund. As Mr. Agarwal has been writing educational articles for various
 
 
62

 
publications and maintains an active website, the General Partner has built up a large list of followers. The General Partner will be utilizing this list, along with potentially renting lists from additional sources. Finally, the principals of the General Partner may conduct educational webinars to explain the benefits of the Fund’s strategy as well as the risks involved in an investment, as well as to answer the various questions that these potential investors may have. Finally, for the database listings marketing campaign, the principals of the General Partner will list the Fund on several managed futures and hedge fund databases like BarclayHedge, HFR, IASG, etc. to gain exposure to potential investors as well as prospective third party sub-advisors.

The Selling Agents
 
     Capital contributions are subject to the selling commissions described below.

     Investors in Class A Units will pay a front-end sales load on each capital contribution to the Fund equal to the following schedule: for capital contributions of less than $50,000: 5.0%; less than $100,000 but at least $50,000: 4.0%; less than $250,000 but at least $100,000: 3.0%; less than $500,000 but at least $250,000: 2.5%; less than $750,000 but at least $500,000: 2.0%; less than $1,000,000 but at least $750,000: 1.5%; at least $1,000,000: no front-end sales load. The front-end sales load will reduce the number of Units purchased by Class A investors. Payments of front-end sales loads may be made directly to third party selling agents or may be paid indirectly through payment to the Fund, which then forwards the front-end sales load to the selling agent. The General Partner may waive the front-end sales load for any Class A Limited Partner.

   Class C Units will be sold in four different Series according to the total capital contributions (less any withdrawals) made by the Limited Partner holding such Class C Units: for contributions of less than $100,000, Series I; for contributions less than $500,000 but at least $100,000, Series II; for contributions less than $1,000,000 but at least $500,000, Series III; for contributions of at least $1,000,000, Series IV. Class C Units will pay an annual sales fee according to their respective Series equal to the following schedule: for Series I: 1.5%; for Series II, 1.0%; for Series III, 0.5%; for Series IV, no annual sales fee. The
 
 
63

 
annual sales fee is charged monthly in advance as of the first day of each calendar month. The annual sales fee will be treated as an expense and will be charged to Class C Units in perpetuity. To the extent additional capital contributions or withdrawals by a Limited Partner would make such Limited Partner eligible for Units of another Series, all of the Class C Units held by such Partner will be exchanged for Units of the new Series at the current net asset values of the Units of the respective Class C Series. Payments of annual sales fee may be made directly to third party selling agents or may be paid indirectly through payment to the Fund, which then forwards the annual sales fee to the selling agent. The General Partner may waive the annual sales fee for any Class C Limited Partner.
 
   Investors in Class I Units are not charged selling commissions.
 
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total amount of all items of compensation from any source, including compensation paid from offering proceeds and in the form of “trail commissions” payable to underwriters, broker-dealers, or affiliates thereof will not exceed an amount that equals ten percent (10%) of the gross proceeds of the offering.
 
   The General Partner will retain selling agents to assist with marketing the Fund.
 
   The selling agents will determine the suitability of prospective investors in the Fund, pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310, based upon information contained in the Subscription Agreement as well as documents furnished to the selling agents by their customers in opening accounts.
 
   No selling agent shall make an investment in the Fund on behalf of a client for which it has discretionary trading authority without prior written approval of the investment by the client.
 
   The selling agents will use their best efforts to locate investors for the Fund but are not required to meet any predetermined total capital contribution amount.
 
    Investors should note that the selling agents will be deemed to be statutory underwriters of the Fund.
 
    Other than as described above, no person will pay any commissions or other compensation in connection with the solicitation of capital contributions.

MA MANAGED FUTURES FUND, LP
 
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Note 1.    ORGANIZATION
 
MA Managed Futures Fund, LP (the “Fund”) was organized on October 26, 2011 under the Delaware Revised Limited Partnership Act.  At this time, the only capital contributed to the Fund is the original capital contribution of $3,000 to Class A by Mr. Monty Agarwal (the “Initial Limited Partner”) minus miscellaneous bank charges incurred as of the date of the Statement of Financial Condition.  Monty Agarwal is the Managing Partner of MA Capital Management LLC, the General Partner of the Fund.  The amount contributed by the Initial Limited Partner is in addition to the total capital contribution amount offered pursuant to this Prospectus.  Monty Agarwal will maintain an investment in the Fund of at least $3,000, but may withdraw any excess above such level in the Fund at any calendar month-end.  The General Partner and the Limited Partners will share in any gains and losses of the Fund in proportion to their respective capital accounts, subject to the General Partner’s receipt of certain fees and expenses as set forth in the Fund’s Agreement of Limited Partnership.  Capital contributions will be held in cash or invested in U.S. Treasury securities, and other cash equivalents and used to trade in futures, options on futures, and forward currency contracts or invested in managed futures funds and managed futures accounts managed by third party sub-advisors.
 
Note 2.    CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
 
The Fund offers three classes of limited partnership interests:  Class A, Class C or Class I Interests.  The front-end sales load and annual sales fee (see Note 4) differ between Classes but in all other respects, the Class A, C and I Interests will be identical and will be traded pursuant to the same trading program.
 
After a Limited Partner makes a capital contribution to the Fund, a capital account will be created for such Limited Partner.  In each case, the initial aggregate net asset value of a Limited Partner’s capital account will equal the dollar amount of the Limited Partner’s capital contribution less any front-end sales load (Class A Interests only).  In accordance with the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partner’s capital account balance will be adjusted to reflect additional capital contributions or withdrawals by such Limited Partner.  Income or loss, prior to annual sales fees and the General Partner’s incentive allocation, will be allocated monthly to the capital accounts of each Limited Partner on a pro rata basis based upon each Limited Partner’s capital account balance.  Each Limited Partner will then be assessed their applicable annual sales fees (Class C Interests only), if any, and their applicable General Partner incentive allocation.
 
Note 3.    ORGANIZATIONAL AND INITIAL OFFERING COSTS

Organizational and initial offering costs will be borne by the Fund through reimbursement to the General Partner.  As of the date of the Statement of Financial Condition, the General Partner has incurred $6,715 of organizational costs which will be expensed by the Fund upon the commencement of operations.  As of the date of the Statement of Financial Condition, the General Partner has incurred $56,730 of initial offering costs.  In addition, the General Partner expects to incur approximately $30,000 of initial offering costs upon the commencement of operations.  Such initial offering costs will be amortized into expense over the first 12 months of operations.  The Fund’s obligation to reimburse the General Partner for the organizational and initial offering costs is contingent upon the successful offering of the Partnership interests.

Note 4.    CHARGES TO THE FUND AND EACH CAPITAL ACCOUNT THEREIN

Upon commencement of operations, the fees and expenses applicable to the Fund and each Limited Partner’s capital account will be as follows:

MA MANAGED FUTURES FUND, LP
 
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)


Note 4.   CHARGES TO THE FUND AND EACH CAPITAL ACCOUNT THEREIN (CONTINUED)

General Partner Fees and Allocations

-  
A management fee payable to the General Partner of 1/12 of 1% of the monthly net asset value of each capital account, payable in advance (a 1% annual rate).
 
-  
Each Limited Partner’s capital account is also charged an incentive allocation equal to ten percent (10%) of such capital account’s new appreciation, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, for each fiscal quarter.  New appreciation is the increase in the capital account’s net asset value since the last time an incentive allocation was paid or, if no incentive allocation has been paid, since the Partner’s initial capital contribution.  The incentive allocation will be adjusted pro rata for capital contributions and withdrawals.

Third Party Sub-Advisors’ Fees

-  
A management fee payable to each third party sub-advisor to the Fund, equal to a maximum of 2% of the actual (as opposed to notional) net asset value of assets managed by such sub-advisor, payable at such regular intervals, either in arrears or in advance, as the General Partner and such sub-advisor may agree.  The General Partner anticipates that approximately 90% of the Fund’s net assets will be managed by third party sub-advisors to managed futures funds or managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests.

-  
The Fund may also be charged an incentive fee of up to twenty percent (20%) of the new appreciation, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, attributable to the Fund’s assets managed by a third party sub-advisor on such schedule as the General Partner and such third party sub-advisor may agree.  New appreciation is the increase in the net asset value of the assets managed by such third party sub-advisor since the last time an incentive fee was paid or, if no incentive fee has been paid, since the Fund’s allocation of assets to such third party sub-advisor.  Such incentive fee may be paid directly out of the assets of the Fund held with such third party sub-advisor prior to being charged pro rata against each Limited Partner’s capital account.

Sales Charges

-  
Investors in Class A Interests will pay a front-end sales load on each capital contribution to the Fund equal to the following schedule:  for contributions of less than $50,000:  5.0%; less than $100,000 but at least $50,000:  4.0%; less than $250,000 but at least $100,000:  3.0%; less than $500,000 but at least $250,000:  2.5%; less than $750,000 but at least $500,000:  2.0%; less than $1,000,000 but at least $750,000:  1.5%; at least $1,000,000:  no front-end sales load.  The front-end sales load will reduce the initial net asset value of such investor’s capital account.  Payments of front-end sales loads may be made directly to third party selling agents or may be charged to an investor by the Fund, which then remits payment to the selling agents on the investor’s behalf.  The General Partner may waive the front-end sales load for any Class A Limited Partner.

Investors in Class C Interests will pay a sales fee on the net asset value of their capital account equal to the following schedule:  for contributions of less than $100,000:  1.5% per annum; less than $500,000 but at least $100,000:  1.00% per annum; less than $1,000,000 but at least $500,000:  0.5% per annum; at least $1,000,000:  no sales fee.  The sales fee is charged monthly in advance and is based on each Class C Investor’s capital balance, net of gains or

Note 4.
CHARGES TO THE FUND AND EACH CAPITAL ACCOUNT THEREIN (CONTINUED)

losses, including additional capital contributions and less any withdrawals.  The sales fee will be charged on the net asset value of a Class C capital account, as applicable, in perpetuity.  Payments of annual sales fee will be remitted to third party selling agents by the Fund on the investor’s behalf.  The General Partner may waive the sales fee for any Class C Limited Partner.
 
 
Sales Charges (continued)

Investors in Class I Interests will not pay a sales fee or a front-end sales load.
 

Brokerage Commissions and Trading Fees

-  
Combined futures brokerage expenses and other charges of the Fund’s trading program, together with the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests, estimated to be around 1.00% of the average net assets of the Fund per year.

Operating and Ongoing Offering Expenses

-  
Actual operating and ongoing offering expenses, including the costs of updating the Fund’s Prospectus, such as legal, auditing, administration, printing, and postage costs, together with the expenses of the managed futures funds in which the Fund invests, in total estimated to be 0.50% of average month-end net assets per year of the Fund.  The General Partner will assume liability for operating expenses in excess of 1.00% of average month-end net assets per year of the Fund.
 
Note 5.     WITHDRAWALS
 
A Limited Partner may withdraw from the Fund, in whole or in part, as of the end of each calendar month.  A request for less than a full withdrawal that would reduce the net asset value of a remaining Limited Partner’s capital account below $1,000 will be treated as a request for withdrawal in full.  Limited Partners must transmit a written withdrawal request to the General Partner or the Fund’s administrator not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the calendar month (or such shorter period as permitted by the General Partner) as of which such withdrawal is to be effective.  The request for withdrawal must specify the dollar amount for which withdrawal is sought unless a full withdrawal is requested.  Withdrawal proceeds will generally be paid within thirty (30) days after the effective date of the withdrawal.  However, in special circumstances, including, but not limited to, inability to liquidate dealers’ positions as of a withdrawal date or default or delay in payments due from clearing brokers, banks, or other persons or entities, the Fund may in turn delay payment to persons requesting withdrawals of that part of the net assets of the Fund represented by the sums that are the subject of such default or delay, and withdrawing Limited Partners will be paid their pro rata portion of the withdrawal amount not subject to default or delay.

MA Managed Futures Fund, LP


We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of MA Managed Futures Fund, LP as of December 31, 2012.  This financial statement is the responsibility of the General Partner.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement.  The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MA Managed Futures Fund, LP as of December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

A Limited Partner will purchase Units at their current net asset value after deduction of any front-end sales load (Class A Units only).  In accordance with the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partner’s Units will be increased or decreased to  reflect additional capital contributions or withdrawals by such Limited Partner.  Income or loss, prior to annual sales fees and the General Partner’s incentive allocation, will be allocated monthly to the Units of each Limited Partner on a pro rata basis.  The Units will then be assessed their applicable annual sales fees (Class C Interests only), if any, and the General Partner’s incentive allocation, if any.
 
Note 3.    ORGANIZATIONAL AND INITIAL OFFERING COSTS

Organizational and initial offering costs will be borne by the Fund through reimbursement to the General Partner.  As of the date of the Statement of Financial Condition, the General Partner has incurred $6,715 of organizational costs which will be expensed by the Fund upon the commencement of operations.  As of the date of the Statement of Financial Condition, the General Partner has incurred $79,690 of initial offering costs.  In addition, the General Partner expects to incur approximately $44,200 of initial offering costs upon the commencement of operations.  Such initial offering costs will be amortized into expense over the first 12 months of operations.  The Fund’s obligation to reimburse the General Partner for the organizational and initial offering costs is contingent upon the successful offering of the Partnership interests.

General Partner Fees and Allocations

The management fee and incentive allocation, as described below, will be calculated at the Fund level and allocated proportionally to each class of Limited Partnership Units based on the net asset value of the class.  The amount of the management fee and incentive allocation allocated to each class will then be allocated proportionally to each Limited Partner based on the net asset value of each Limited Partner’s Units in the respective class.

A Limited Partner may withdraw from the Fund, in whole or in part, as of the end of each calendar month.  A request for less than a full withdrawal that would reduce the net asset value of a remaining Limited Partner’s Units below $1,000 will be treated as a request for withdrawal in full.  Limited Partners must transmit a written withdrawal request to the General Partner or the Fund’s administrator not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the calendar month (or such shorter period as permitted by the General Partner) as of which such withdrawal is to be effective.  The request for withdrawal must specify the dollar amount for which withdrawal is sought unless a full withdrawal is requested.  Withdrawal proceeds will generally be paid within thirty (30) days after the effective date of the withdrawal.  However, in special circumstances, including, but not limited to, inability to liquidate dealers’ positions as of a withdrawal date or default or delay in payments

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of MA Capital Management, LLC

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of MA Capital Management LLC (a Florida limited liability company) as of December 31, 2012, and the related notes.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statement

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this financial statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MA Capital Management LLC as of December 31, 2012, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

WHY MA MANAGED FUTURES FUND?

 
The MA Managed Futures Fund is a multi-strategy managed futures fund which can be accessed with a low investment minimum of $5,000.  Additionally, the fact that it is managed by personnel with vast experience in trading for some of the largest banks in the world as well as managing traders makes this a unique investment alternative.
 
Following are some of the benefits offered by the MA Managed Futures Fund:
 
1.  Access with a low investment minimum:  A typical multi-strategy managed futures portfolio would require $5mm to $10mm to construct for any individual investor.  However, the Fund provides the investor with access to its managed futures portfolio with a minimum investment of $5,000 (for Class A Units and Class C Units).
 
2.  A Systematic approach to investing the Fund’s assets:  The General Partner anticipates that the Fund will only select strategies that are at-least 90% systematic in nature, where “systematic” is defined as having, showing, or involving a system, method or plan. For example the Fund will seek systematic strategies where the buy and sell signals are generated by a well-tested and robust computer algorithm as opposed to strategies influenced or determined by human emotions, biases, or other discretionary factors. In the General Partner’s opinion, this leads to a more disciplined approach to money management when compared to strategies reliant upon decisions which can be influenced by human emotions.
 
3.  Leverage and Risk Management:  The General Partner’s personnel has been trading derivative instruments since 1993 across various asset classes and on global exchanges.  This, in the General Partner’s opinion, gives it an edge when it comes to striking the right balance between risk and reward when constructing and managing the Fund’s portfolio.
 
4.  Dynamic Allocation:  The Fund’s investment strategy involves a very dynamic approach to capital allocation.  This means that the strategies that are picked for the portfolio as well as the amount of capital allocated to these strategies will not be fixed but will vary based on changing market conditions as well as the profitability of the underlying strategies.  A dynamic approach to the markets is, in the General Partner’s opinion, the best way to provide safety and generate profits in a fast changing investment world.
 
5.  Experience:  The General Partner regards its experience as one of the strongest benefits offered to the investors of the MA Managed Futures Fund. The experience of the personnel of the General Partner has been described above.
 
Why A Fund Trading in Futures Products and Investing in Managed Futures Funds and Accounts?
 
Futures investments are intended to generate medium to long-term capital growth and provide global portfolio diversification. A primary reason to invest in futures products, such as those to be invested in by MA Managed Futures Fund, LP, is to provide a non-correlated investment to a portfolio of traditional stock and bond investments that has the potential to improve returns and lower the portfolio’s volatility. This is possible because futures products historically have not been correlated to traditional markets, such as stocks and bonds.
 
Historical Non-Correlated Performance
 
Historically, futures investments have had very little correlation to the stock and bond markets.1 While there is no guarantee of positive performance in a managed futures component of a portfolio, the non-correlation characteristic of futures can improve risk adjusted returns in a diversified investment portfolio. Having the ability to go long and short provides managed futures the opportunity to make potentially profitable trades in both up or down markets. In other words, gain or loss in the future is not necessarily dependent on economic cycles.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Fund, the

SAI-1

 
managed futures funds, and the managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests will trade profitably in the futures and forward currency markets or not incur losses. Furthermore, non-correlation means that the Fund may experience losses or reduced gains when the general equity and financial markets are in a growth phase enjoying rising prices.
 
Increase Returns and Reduce Volatility
 
Managed futures, as well as commodities, when used in conjunction with traditional asset classes, may reduce risk, while at the same time potentially increase returns.2
 
Low Correlation to Traditional Asset Classes and Other Alternative Asset Classes
 
Because they trade in numerous financial and commodities futures markets ranging from cotton to palladium and currencies to stock indices, managed futures funds, in aggregate, have historically experienced low long-term correlation to most traditional asset classes, including stocks, bonds, and real estate. Managed future funds may provide a valuable element of diversification to an investor’s Portfolio, even one in which other alternative asset classes are represented, because of the low correlation of their returns to the returns of other alternative asset classes, including many hedge fund strategies. The Fund will give its investors access to such futures products in addition to managed futures funds and managed futures accounts.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Fund’s performance will be non-correlated to the performance of traditional asset classes or that it will not experience sustained periods of significant correlation to the performance of traditional asset classes.
 
Non-Correlated Investments within the Fund
 
The third party commodity pool operators and sub-advisors of the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund will invest may trade on more than 100 financial and commodities futures markets, many of which react differently from each other to the same economic or market condition. Broadly diversifying across a wide range of futures markets can increase the potential to trade profitably while protecting the overall portfolio from extensive losses from a single market.
 
Potential to Profit in Bull and Bear Markets
 
Managed futures funds, unlike most mutual funds, which are “long only”, have the potential to profit from market movements in both directions.3 By having the ability to “go short,” managed futures funds may also profit from anticipating that a future’s price will go down in the future. This potential to profit, whether markets are rising or falling around the globe, makes managed futures particularly attractive as a diversification tool.  There can be no assurance, however, that the General Partner or any of the Fund’s third party sub-advisors or managed futures funds will correctly select futures positions on the Fund’s behalf or that the Fund will not incur losses. Unlike a mutual fund, Limited Partners in the Fund have no right to evaluate the Fund’s underlying investments.
 
Global Diversification within a Single Investment
 
Futures and related contracts can be traded in many countries, which makes it possible to diversify risk around the globe. This diversification is available both geographically and across market sectors. For example, an investor can trade interest rates, stock indices, and currencies in several countries around the world, as well as energy and metals. While the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests will trade across a diverse selection of global markets, an investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program but, rather, should be considered as a diversification opportunity for an overall portfolio. However, if the Fund does not invest profitably, and there can be no assurance that it will do so, the potential diversification benefits of an investment in the Fund will not be realized.

SAI-2

 
Convenience
 
Through an investment in the Fund, investors can participate in global markets and opportunities without needing to master complex trading strategies and monitor multiple international markets.
 
Liquidity
 
In most cases the markets to be traded by the General Partner or the managed futures funds and managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests are highly liquid. Some markets trade 24 hours on business days. While there can be cases where there may be no buyer or seller for a particular futures contract, third party sub-advisors and commodity pool operators will typically select markets for investment based upon, among other things, their perceived liquidity. Exchanges impose limits on the amount that a futures price can move in one day. Situations in which markets have moved the limit for several days in a row have not been common, but do occur. Investors may withdraw all or a portion of their Units on a monthly basis.
 
Limited Liability
 
Investors’ liability is limited to the amount of their investment in the Fund. Investors will not be required to contribute additional capital to the Fund.
 
Material Differences between Managed Futures Accounts and Managed Futures Funds
 
The Fund will be invested heavily in both managed futures accounts and managed futures funds, which will be managed by a third party sub-advisor or commodity pool operator, respectively. There are a number of material differences between these investments. First, a managed futures account is the sole property of the Fund, as the Fund will be the only investor in such accounts, whereas the Fund may be one of a number of beneficial owners in each managed futures fund in which it invests. As a result, the Fund will be directly responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by each managed futures account, whereas it will be responsible for only its pro rata share of such fees and expenses incurred by each managed futures fund. Additionally, for each managed futures account, the Fund will not enjoy any economies of scale, but will instead solely rely on leverage in order to increase the gross assets traded in such accounts. However, the Fund will have more flexibility with regard to managed futures accounts as opposed to managed futures funds, the latter of which may be subject to lock-ups (minimum commitment periods), infrequent withdrawals, gating, and other restrictions on the Fund’s investment. Finally, there will generally be greater oversight of the third party sub-advisor to any managed futures account, as the General Partner may actively review the sub-advisor’s trading activities and the Fund’s positions, whereas the General Partner typically will not be able to see the underlying trading activities and positions of the managed futures funds in which it invests.
 
Despite its best efforts, there can be no assurance that the General Partner’s investment program will succeed in its stated objectives. The foregoing promotional and speculative statements are solely the opinion of the General Partner.
 
REGULATION
 
 
The U.S. futures markets are regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act, which is administered by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), a federal agency created in 1974. The CFTC licenses and regulates commodity exchanges, commodity pool operators, commodity trading advisors, and clearing firms which are referred to in the futures industry as “futures commission merchants.” The General Partner is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and as a commodity trading advisor. Futures professionals are also regulated by the NFA, a self-regulatory organization for the futures industry that supervises the dealings between futures professionals and their customers. If the pertinent CFTC licenses or NFA memberships were to lapse, be suspended, or be revoked, the General Partner would be unable to act as the Fund’s commodity pool operator.
 
The CFTC has adopted disclosure, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements for commodity pool operators. The reporting rules require pool operators to furnish to the participants in their pools a monthly statement of account, showing the pool’s income or loss and change in net asset value, and an annual
 
 
SAI-3

 
financial report, audited by an independent certified public accountant. The CFTC and the exchanges have pervasive powers over the futures markets, including the emergency power to suspend trading and order trading for liquidation of existing positions only. The exercise of such powers could adversely affect the Fund’s trading or that of the managed futures funds or managed futures accounts in which it invests.
 
The CFTC has established limits on the maximum net long or net short positions which any person may hold or control in certain, primarily agricultural and grain, futures contracts. Certain accounts controlled by the General Partner, including the accounts of the Fund, may be combined for speculative position limit purposes. If positions in those accounts were to approach the level of the particular speculative position limit, the General Partner may modify the investment allocations for the Fund or the Fund may be forced to liquidate certain futures positions in its managed accounts, possibly resulting in losses. Additionally, the CFTC has recently proposed new position limits and may do so again in the future; current and proposed position limits may have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s operations and may limit the futures trading activities of the General Partner or any third party sub-advisor or managed futures fund.
 
In order to establish and maintain a futures position, a trader must make a type of good-faith deposit with its broker, known as “margin,” of approximately 2%-10% of contract value. Minimum margins are established for each futures contract by the exchange on which the contract is traded. The exchanges alter their margin requirements from time to time, sometimes significantly. For their protection, clearing brokers may require higher margins from their customers than the exchange minimums. When a position is established, “initial margin” is deposited. On most exchanges, at the close of each trading day “variation margin,” representing the unrealized gain or loss on the open positions, is either credited to or debited from a trader’s account. If “variation margin” payments cause a trader’s “initial margin” to fall below “maintenance margin” levels, a “margin call” is made, requiring the trader to deposit additional margin or have his position closed out. The General Partner, the managed futures funds, and the managed futures accounts in which the Fund invests will buy and sell futures contracts, activities which will involve the use of margin on account. By utilizing leverage, the General Partner, managed futures funds and managed futures accounts are inherently able to leverage the dollar value of the futures contracts traded; accordingly, the operating profit or loss of the General Partner’s trading program, the managed futures funds, and the managed futures accounts (and, therefore, the Fund) will increase due to the increase in their dollar value of trading. As a result of this leveraging, even a small adverse movement in the price of a contract could cause the Fund major and immediate losses. Like other leveraged investments, any trade may result in losses in excess of the amount invested. To attempt to mitigate the potential downside risk, the General Partner will monitor risk measures such as downside volatility and the Fund’s equity ratio.

 
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Reform Act”) was enacted in July 2010. The Reform Act may entail increased costs and result in burdensome reporting requirements for the Fund. The imposition of credit controls by governmental authorities or the implementation of regulations pursuant to the Reform Act might limit the Fund’s trading, to the possible detriment of the Fund. Additionally, the Reform Act includes provisions that comprehensively regulate the over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives markets for the first time. The Reform Act mandates a substantial portion of OTC derivatives be executed in regulated markets and submitted for clearing to regulated clearinghouses. The mandates imposed by the Reform Act may result in the Fund bearing higher upfront and mark-to-market margin and less favorable trade pricing.

In connection with any issuance of Units, the General Partner may issue fractional Units. The General Partner may from time to time divide or combine the Units into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests in a particular Class or Series. Contributions to a Class or Series of the Fund may be accepted for, and Units of such Series shall be redeemed as, whole Units or integral multiples thereof.

2.1.2
Establishment of Classes and Series. The Fund shall consist of one or more separate and distinct Classes and Series. The General Partner hereby establishes and designates the following Classes: Class A, Class C, and Class I (each, a “Class”). Additionally, the General Partner hereby establishes and designates the following Series of Class C: Series I, Series II, Series III, and Series IV. The General Partner, in addition to being the general partner of the Fund, shall be the general partner associated with each Class and Series designated and established hereunder. Any additional Classes and Series designated hereunder shall be established by the adoption of a resolution by the General Partner and shall be effective upon the date stated therein (or, if no such date is stated, upon the date of such adoption). The Units of each Class and Series shall have the relative rights and preferences provided for herein and such rights as may be designated by the General Partner. The General Partner shall cause separate and distinct records for each Class and Series to be maintained. Each Unit shall represent a proportional beneficial interest in the net assets of the Fund.

2.1.3
Assignment of Class C Units by Series. The Units of Class C will be assigned by Series in the following manner: Series I to Limited Partners subscribing for less than $100,000; Series II to Limited Partners subscribing for less than $500,000 but at least $100,000; Series III to Limited Partners subscribing for less than $1,000,000 but at least $500,000; Series IV to Limited Partners subscribing for at least $1,000,000. To the extent that additional capital contributions or withdrawals by a Limited Partner would make such Limited Partner eligible for Units of another Class C Series, all of the Class C Units held by such Partner will be exchanged for Units of the new Series at the current net asset values of the Units of the respective Class C Series.

2.2 Capital Contributions.

2.2.1
In General. The minimum initial investment in the Fund for Class A and Class C Units is $5,000, the minimum initial investment in the Fund for Class I Units is $1,000,000, and the minimum additional investment for Class A, Class C, and Class I Units is $1,000, each subject to waiver or reduction in the sole discretion of the General Partner. All contributions of capital to the Fund will be in the form of cash and/or cash equivalents; provided that the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, consent to contributions in kind. In kind contributions will be valued in the General Partner’s discretion, but in no event higher than the value determined in accordance with Section 3.1 as of the end of the contribution date.
The General Partner may, in its sole discretion: (i) change or waive the minimum Capital Contribution requirements from time to time; (ii) otherwise modify the Fund’s policies regarding Capital Contributions; and (iii) grant exceptions to any such policies and to the procedures and requirements for admission of Limited Partners and acceptance of Capital Contributions set forth below.

2.2.2
General Partner. As of the Initial Dealing Day, the General Partner and its officers, employees, and Affiliates may make an Initial Capital Contribution to the Fund in cash or in kind as set forth in the Fund’s books and records.

2.2.3
Limited Partners’ Initial Capital Contributions. Each person admitted as a Limited Partner on any Dealing Day will contribute on, or prior to, such Dealing Day the amount of Capital Contribution set forth on such Partner’s Subscription Application, and such Capital Contribution will be deemed made on such Dealing Day and will be reflected in the books and records of the Fund.
Limited Partners must complete and execute the Fund’s Subscription Agreement, which must be received by the General Partner or the Fund’s administrator prior to Dealing Day. All investors must also make arrangements with the General Partner or the Fund’s administrator for the transmission of their Capital Contributions or in-kind Contributions for receipt by the General Partner or administrator prior to Dealing Day.

2.2.4
Additional Capital Contributions. No Limited Partner will be required and, except as provided in Section 13.4, the General Partner will not be required to make any Capital Contribution beyond such Partner’s Initial Capital Contribution. However, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations herein, any Partner may voluntarily make additional Capital Contributions on the first Business Day of each calendar month.
To make an additional Capital Contribution, Limited Partners must complete the Fund’s Additional Subscription Form, which must be received by the General Partner or the Fund’s administrator prior to Dealing Day. All investors must also make arrangements with the General Partner or the Fund’s administrator for the transmission of their Capital Contributions or in-kind Contributions for receipt by the General Partner or administrator prior to Dealing Day.

2.2.5
Early or Late Tender of Funds. The General Partner will cause funds tendered as Capital Contributions before the applicable Dealing Day to be recorded as prepaid capital contributions. If a contributing Partner does not make the cash or other property to be contributed available to the Fund prior to the due date of such contribution, but makes such cash or property available to the Fund within a reasonable period (in the General Partner’s sole discretion) following such due date, the Fund may, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, nonetheless accept such cash or property as a Capital Contribution as of the applicable due date.

2.3 Admission of Limited Partners. Limited Partners may be admitted to the Fund as of the first Business Day of each calendar month or as of any other time, determined at the discretion of the General Partner. Such admission will not require the consent of existing Limited Partners. Each Limited Partner must, as a condition of admission to the Fund, execute and deliver such documents as the General Partner may require evidencing such Partner’s qualifications and intent to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.4 Special Charges. If the General Partner consents to a Limited Partner’s in-kind contributions to the Fund, the Fund may, in the General Partner’s discretion, assess a special charge against such Limited Partner equal to the actual costs incurred by the Fund in connection with accepting such in-kind contributions, including the costs of liquidating such in-kind contributions or otherwise adjusting the Fund’s portfolio to accommodate such in-kind contributions. Such special charge will be assessed as of the Dealing Day on which the in-kind contributions are made.
 
2.5 Class A Front-End Sales Load. Limited Partners purchasing Class A Units will pay a one-time front-end sales load at the time of each subscription equal to the following schedule: for total subscriptions less than $50,000: five percent (5.0%) of such subscription; for total subscriptions less than $100,000 but at least $50,000: four percent (4.0%) of such subscription; for total subscriptions less than $250,000 but at least $100,000: three percent (3.0%) of such subscription; for total subscriptions less than $500,000 but at least $250,000: two and one half percent (2.5%)of such subscription; for total subscriptions less than $750,000 but at least $500,000: two percent (2.0%) of such subscription; for total subscriptions less than $1,000,000 but at least $750,000: one and one half percent (1.5%) of such subscription; for total subscriptions of at least $1,000,000: no front-end sales load. The front-end sales load will reduce the number of units purchased by Class A Limited Partners.

2.6 No Interest. No Partner will be entitled to earn interest on his or her Capital Contribution or on his or her Units.

ARTICLE 3.
 
VALUE OF FUND ASSETS

3.1 Valuation of Assets. In determining the value of all assets of the Fund as of a particular date (a “Valuation Date”), the following methods will be used. If any of the price or quotation-related information referred to in this Section 3.1 is not available for a Valuation Date, the applicable information for the most recent preceding date will be used.

3.1.1
Futures Listed on an Exchange. Any futures contract that is listed on a recognized exchange will be valued at its last sale price on the Valuation Date, as recorded by the composite tape system, or, if the asset is not included in such system, at its last sale price on the Valuation Date on the principal exchange on which the asset is traded, as recorded by that exchange, or if no sale was reported on the Valuation Date through the composite quotation system or such exchange, at the mean of the highest closing “bid” price and the lowest closing “asked” price on the Valuation Date as recorded by the composite tape system or such principal exchange, as the case may be;

3.1.2
Discretion to Deviate from Market Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any assets constitute a block that, in the judgment of the General Partner, could not be liquidated in a reasonable time without depressing the market for such assets unreasonably (or, in the case of a short position, could not be purchased without driving the market price up unreasonably), or are otherwise subject to significant restrictions on sale, such assets will be valued in the General Partner’s discretion, but at a unit value not in excess of the quoted market price (or in the case of a short position with a liability reflecting a unit value not less than the quoted market price) for other assets of the same class, as determined above;

3.1.3
Investments in Investment Vehicles. All investments in investment vehicles operated by independent third party investment managers will be valued in accordance with the valuations provided by such managers or their authorized representative. In most cases, such valuations will only be available to the Fund at the end of each calendar month, fiscal quarter, and fiscal year;

3.1.4
Other Assets. All other assets will be assigned a value determined in good faith by the General Partner. The General Partner may determine, in its sole discretion, to cause the Fund to engage an independent person to value any other assets that are not subject to valuation pursuant to Sections 3.1.1 through 3.1.3 above, and may, but will not be required to, establish procedures for some or all Limited Partners to approve or be afforded the opportunity to terminate the services of or replace any such person. Any such valuations will be at the Fund’s expense.

3.2 Determinations Conclusive. The value of each asset of the Fund and the Net Asset Value of the Fund determined pursuant to this Article 3 will be conclusive and binding on all of the Partners and all parties claiming through or under them absent bad faith or manifest error on the part of the General Partner.

4.1 Opening Capital Accounts. A Capital Account will be established as to each Unit on the books of the Fund as of the date on which the Units is first issued to a Limited Partner with an initial balance equal to such Unit’s initial net asset value, to be subsequently adjusted pursuant to Section 4.3 and 4.4.

4.3.5
Reserves. The amount of any reserve described in Section 4.10, or any increase or decrease therein, may, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, be specially allocated to those Units held by Partners at the time (as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion) of the event giving rise to the contingent liability for which the reserve was established, in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages, at the beginning of the Period during which such event occurred.

4.3.6
Other Special Costs. Any expenditures payable by the Fund, to the extent determined by the General Partner to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular circumstances applicable to, fewer than all of the Units, may, in the General Partner’s discretion, be charged only to those Units on whose behalf such payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to such payments.


A-5






 
 

 




4.4 Capital Account Adjustments. The following adjustments will be made to each Unit’s Capital Account:
 
4.4.1
As of the beginning of each Period, such Capital Account will be decreased by the amount of any special charge assessed against such Unit as of the beginning of such Period pursuant to Section 2.3.
 
4.4.2
As of the end of each Period, such Capital Account will be:

(a) tentatively decreased for such Unit’s share of Losses or increased for such Unit’s share of Gains for such Period, in each case determined in accordance with Section 4.2;

(b) decreased by the amount of any dividends or distributions on such Unit during such Period; and

(c) decreased by any amount specially allocated to that Unit during such Period pursuant to Section 4.3 and any amounts reallocated to such Unit pursuant to Section 4.8.

4.4.3
Incentive Allocation Time Adjustments. If the end of any Period is an Incentive Allocation Time as to the Fund, then, after the adjustments pursuant to Section 4.4.2, that Unit’s Capital Account will be decreased by the amount of the Incentive Allocation, if any, as to that Unit as of such Incentive Allocation Time.

4.5 Incentive Allocation.

4.5.1
Timing and Applicability. As of each Incentive Allocation Time, the Incentive Allocation will be determined as to the Fund and each Unit therein.

4.5.2
Amount of Incentive Allocation. At any Incentive Allocation Time when the Fund has experienced new appreciation, the Incentive Allocation will be equal to the product of i) the Incentive Allocation Rate (as described in the next sentence) for the Fund; and (ii) the amount, if any, of the new appreciation. The Incentive Allocation Rate is ten percent (10%). “New Appreciation” shall be the total increase, if any, in the Net Asset Value of the Fund from the end of the last period for which an Incentive Allocation was earned (the “High Water Mark”). For purposes of determining New Appreciation, the total increase, if any, in Net Asset Value of the Fund, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, above the High Water Mark shall be determined without regard to (i) increases in Net Asset Value due to capital contributions (inclusive of subscription proceeds) and (ii) decreases in Net Asset Value due to withdrawals, distributions, or the Incentive Allocation itself. If Units are withdrawn when there is a loss carryforward for Incentive Allocation calculation purposes (that is, the current level of cumulative New Appreciation is below the High Water Mark), such loss carryforward shall be reduced in proportion to the proportion of the total outstanding Units withdrawn.

A-6






 
 

 




4.5.3
Interpretation and Amendment; Restorative Allocations. The parties acknowledge and agree that the General Partner may, in its discretion, without the consent of the Partners, amend any provision of this Article 4 or take such other action to delay Incentive Allocation Times as to particular Units or to waive or delay the effectiveness of any Incentive Allocation, in each case to the extent necessary or appropriate to conform the Incentive Allocation to any applicable requirements of federal or state law.

4.6 Distributive Share for Tax Purposes. Items of Fund gain or loss recognized for income tax purposes will be allocated among the Units in accordance with the methods set forth in Section 1.704-3(e)(3) of the regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code. All other items of income, deduction, gain, loss, or credit that are recognized for income tax purposes will be allocated among the Units in accordance with their respective Partnership Percentages as of the beginning of the Period to which such items are attributable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner will specially allocate items of gain (or loss) to Units withdrawn during any fiscal year in a manner designed to ensure that each withdrawn Unit is allocated gain (or loss) in an amount equal to the difference between that Unit’s Capital Account balance at the time of the withdrawal and the tax basis for the Unit at that time; provided, however, that the General Partner may, without the consent of any Partner, (i) alter the allocation of any item of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit in any specific instance where the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines such alteration to be necessary or appropriate to avoid a materially inequitable result and/or (ii) adopt such other method of allocating tax items as the General Partner determines is necessary or appropriate in order to be consistent with the spirit and intent of the regulations under Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code.

A-7






 
 

 




4.7 Dividends and Distributions. The Fund does not anticipate paying dividends or making irregular distributions of capital appreciations to the Partners. The amount and timing of any dividends and distributions (other than pursuant to withdrawals) will be in the sole discretion of the General Partner and any such dividends and distributions will be apportioned among the Units and charged to their respective Capital Accounts in accordance with their respective Partnership Percentages.
 
4.8 Special Allocations to Units of Persons Who Are No Longer Partners. If the application of Section 4.3.5 or Section 4.3.6 would result in any amount being allocated to a Unit owned by a person who is no longer a Partner, such person will be obligated to pay such amount to the Fund, upon demand by the General Partner, in cash, with interest from the date on which the General Partner determines that such charge is required, at a floating rate determined by the General Partner equal to the “reference rate” published from time to time by a bank selected in the General Partner’s sole discretion, provided that (i) in no event will a former Partner be obligated to make a payment exceeding the amount of such former Partner’s Unit’s Capital Account balance as of the end of the Period during which the event giving rise to the charge occurred (as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion); (ii) no such demand will be made more than four (4) years after such former Partner ceased to be a Partner; and (iii) the General Partner may, by agreement with a Limited Partner, on behalf of the Fund, waive the right to recover such amounts from such Limited Partner. To the extent that the Fund fails to collect, in full, any amount from a former Partner that would have been allocated pursuant to Section 4.3.5 or Section 4.3.6, whether due to the expiration of the applicable limitation period or for any other reason whatsoever, the amount of the deficiency will be reallocated to the Capital Accounts of those Units owned by persons who were Partners as of the time the event giving rise to the charge occurred, in proportion to their Units’ respective Partnership Percentages at the beginning of the Period during which such event occurred.
 
4.9 Tax Withholding. To the extent the Fund is required by law to withhold or make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner (“Tax Advances”), the General Partner may cause the Fund to withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Partner will, at the option of the General Partner, (i) be promptly paid to the Fund by the Partner on whose behalf such Tax Advances were made or (ii) reduce any current withdrawal being made by such Partner (or, if no such withdrawal is being made by such Partner, be treated as a distribution to such Partner as of the last day of the Period which includes the date the Tax Advance was remitted by the Fund to the taxing authorities). Whenever the General Partner selects option (i), from the date ten (10) days after the receipt by the Partner on whose behalf the Tax Advance was made of Notice of the Tax Advance, the Tax Advance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law until repaid. Whenever the General Partner selects option (ii), for all other purposes of this Agreement, the Partner on whose behalf the Tax Advance was made will be treated as having received the full amount of such withdrawal, unreduced by the amount of such Tax Advance. Each Partner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and the General Partner from and against any liability with respect to Tax Advances required on behalf of or with respect to such Partner. Each Partner hereby agrees to promptly give the General Partner or the Fund any true certification or affidavit that the General Partner may request in connection with this Section 4.9.

4.10 Reserves. Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued, and charged against Net Asset Value, as appropriate, for contingent liabilities (including contingent liabilities arising out of the Fund’s obligation to indemnify the General Partner and its members, employees, agents, and Affiliates and advance expenses pursuant to Section 8.1) as of the dates the General Partner becomes aware of any such contingent liabilities. Such reserves will be in such amounts as the General Partner in its discretion deems necessary or appropriate. The General Partner may increase or reduce any such reserve from time to time in its sole discretion.

4.11 Foreign Taxes. For all purposes of this Agreement (including the allocation of foreign tax credits for federal and state income tax purposes), amounts withheld directly from the Fund on account of foreign or other taxes will be treated as if amounts had been received by the Fund on the date of withholding and distributed to the Partners on whose behalf such withholding is deemed made in a manner consistent with the allocation of dividend income. In such event, the General Partner will make such other adjustments in appropriate accounts as are consistent with this treatment.

ARTICLE 5.
 
WITHDRAWALS OF UNITS

5.1 Voluntary Withdrawals. A Partner may withdraw their Units only in accordance with the following procedures and limitations and those set forth in Sections 4.4.2 and 5.4, unless the General Partner consents (which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion) to a deviation from one or more of such procedures or limitations: (i) a Limited Partner may not make a withdrawal at any time other than the last day of a calendar month; and (ii) a Limited Partner must give written Notice to the General Partner at least thirty (30) days before the proposed Effective Time of a withdrawal. Any withdrawal request that would result in a Partner having in aggregate Units with a Net Asset Value of less than $1,000 will be treated as a withdrawal in full.
 
5.2 Mandatory Withdrawals. The General Partner may, in its discretion, cause a partial or a complete withdrawal of a Limited Partner’s Units by giving forty-eight (48) hours’ Notice to the Limited Partner, if the General Partner determines or has reason to believe that: (i) such Limited Partner has transferred or attempted to transfer any portion of its Units in violation of the provisions of Article 11; (ii) such Limited Partner’s continued ownership of its Units may cause the Fund to be in violation of, or require registration of any Units under, or subject the Fund or the General Partner to additional regulation under the securities laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction or the rules of any self-regulatory organization; (iii) such Limited Partner’s continued ownership of its Units may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Fund or the General Partner, may result in the imposition of significant administrative or other burdens on the Fund or the General Partner, or may subject the Fund or any Partner to the risk of adverse tax or other fiscal consequences (including adverse consequences under ERISA); (iv) any of the representations and warranties made by such Limited Partner in connection with the acquisition of its Units were not true when made or have ceased to be true; or (v) it is otherwise in the best interests of the Fund, as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner, to cause such a withdrawal. In particular, if a Limited Partner is or becomes a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, or other entity whose beneficial ownership of its Units may be deemed to be beneficial ownership by the holders of outstanding securities of such Partner (a “Multiple-Owner Limited Partner”) under paragraph (1)(A) of Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “ICA”) at any time the Fund is relying on paragraph (1) of Section 3(c) of the ICA for exclusion from the definition of “investment company,” the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause a partial withdrawal of such Multiple-Owner Limited Partner’s Units to the extent necessary to cause such Multiple-Owner Limited Partner’s beneficial ownership of its Units to be beneficial ownership by one person, within the meaning of such paragraph, or may cause the complete withdrawal of such Multiple-Owner Limited Partner from the Fund. Similarly, if a Limited Partner becomes an “employee benefit plan investor” within the meaning of applicable rules and regulations under ERISA (an “ERISA Limited Partner”), the General Partner may in its sole discretion cause a complete or partial withdrawal of such Limited Partner’s Units to the extent necessary to prevent the Fund’s assets from being considered “plan assets” within the meaning of ERISA. In the exercise of its discretion, the General Partner may cause the partial or complete withdrawal of the Units of a Multiple-Owner Limited Partner regardless of whether or not such Limited Partner was a Multiple-Owner Limited Partner or an ERISA Limited Partner at the time such Limited Partner became a Limited Partner or made any particular Capital Contribution and may cause such partial or complete withdrawal as to some Multiple-Owner Limited Partners or ERISA Limited Partner and not others. A complete withdrawal of a Limited Partner’s Units mandated by the General Partner pursuant to this Section will be treated as a termination of the Limited Partner’s participation in the Fund.
 
5.3 Death, Dissolution, Bankruptcy, or Legal Incapacity of a Partner. In the event of the death, dissolution, bankruptcy, or legal incapacity of a Partner, the estate or legal representative of such Partner will succeed to the Partner’s right or duty to share in the gains or losses of their Units and to receive distributions from the Fund. The estate or representative may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be paid as of the end of the fiscal year during which the Partner died, became bankrupt, or became legally incapacitated, the value of such Partner’s Units as of the end of such year in liquidation. Alternatively, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, admit the estate or representative to the Fund as a Limited Partner. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause a partial or complete withdrawal of such Partner’s Units for any of the reasons enumerated in Section 5.2, after giving forty-eight (48) hours’ Notice.

5.4 Conditions and Payment Procedures.

5.4.1
Limitations.

(a) The General Partner may, in its discretion, suspend or restrict the right of any Partner to make a partial or complete withdrawal, the calculation of the Net Asset Value of the Fund’s assets, and the payment of any withdrawal proceeds at any time when: (i) such withdrawal would result in a violation by the Fund of the securities laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction or the rules of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Fund; (ii) any organized interdealer market on which a significant portion of the Fund’s assets are regularly traded or quoted is closed (other than for holidays) or trading thereon has been suspended or restricted; (iii) disposal of the assets of the Fund or other transactions involving the sale, transfer, or delivery of funds in the ordinary course of the business of the Fund are not reasonably practicable without being detrimental to the interests of withdrawing or remaining Limited Partners; (iv) there exists any state of affairs which, in the opinion of the General Partner, constitutes an emergency as a result of which liquidation by the Fund of its investment positions is not reasonably practicable or would be seriously prejudicial to the Fund and its Partners; (v) there exists any breakdown in the means of communication normally employed in determining the price or value of a significant portion of the Fund’s investments, or of current prices on any exchange, market, or clearing organization, or if for any other reason, the prices or value of a significant portion of the Fund’s investments cannot reasonably be promptly and accurately ascertained; (vi) trading in a significant portion of investments owned by the Fund is halted on any exchange, market, or clearing organization or any other act or event occurs which would make it difficult or impossible to adequately value the assets of the Fund, or, in the General Partner’s opinion, it is not reasonably practicable to value a significant portion of the Fund’s investments; (vii) the transfer of funds involved in the realization or acquisition of a significant portion of investments cannot, in the judgment of the General Partner, be effected at normal rates of exchange; (viii) it is not reasonably practicable to make an accurate and timely determination of the Net Asset Value of the Fund’s investments; (ix) any withdrawal would cause a termination of the Fund within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code; (x) any event has occurred which calls for the termination of the Fund; (xi) none of the requests for withdrawals that have been made may be lawfully satisfied by the Fund in US dollars; or (xii) the General Partner determines in consultation with its tax advisors that the withdrawal could result in the Fund being treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.

(b) Any such suspension shall take effect at such time as the General Partner shall declare, but not later than the close of business on the next Business Day following the declaration and thereafter there shall be no determination of the Net Asset Value until the General Partner shall declare the suspension to be at an end, except that the suspension shall terminate in any event on the first Business Day on which: (i) the condition giving rise to the suspension shall have ceased to exist; and (ii) no other condition under which any suspension is authorized under this Partnership Agreement shall exist. Each declaration by the General Partner suspending the determination of Net Asset Value shall be consistent with such official rules and regulations (if any) relating to the subject matter thereof as shall have been promulgated by any authority having jurisdiction over the Fund as shall be in effect at the time. To the extent not inconsistent with such official rules and regulations as mentioned above, the determination of the General Partner shall be conclusive. Whenever the General Partner shall declare a suspension or reinstatement of the determination of the Net Asset Value, the General Partner shall notify Limited Partners within a maximum period of seven (7) days after the suspension or reinstatement. Following any reinstatement, the General Partner may allow any withdrawing Partners to rescind their withdrawal Notice to the extent of any portion thereof for which withdrawal proceeds have not yet been remitted or the General Partner may, in its discretion, complete any withdrawals.

A-10






 
 

 



5.4.2
Effective Time. Except as otherwise provided below, the Effective Time of any withdrawal will be:
 
(i)
if proper Notice of such withdrawal is received by the General Partner within the period specified in Section 5.1 or Section 5.3, the final Business Day of the calendar month of the withdrawal;
(ii)
if proper Notice of such withdrawal is not received by the General Partner within the period specified in Section 5.1 or Section 5.3 (unless the General Partner in its sole discretion specifies an earlier date) the final Business Day of the next succeeding calendar month, and;
(iii)
if proper Notice of such withdrawal is received by the General Partner within the period specified in Section 5.3, the final Business Day of the fiscal year of the withdrawal.
 
The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause the Fund to honor withdrawal requests received after the dates specified in Section 5.1, but the General Partner will not be obligated to do so and may decline to do so in its sole discretion. In considering whether to do so, the General Partner will take into account the impact such withdrawal could have on the Fund’s status as other than a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. The Effective Time of any mandatory withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.2 will be (i) the end of the second (2nd) day following the day on which the Notice of such withdrawal is given, (ii) such later time as the General Partner may specify in such Notice, (iii) as to any Limited Partner who has died, become bankrupt, insolvent or incompetent, as of the end of the Period in which such Limited Partner died, became insolvent or incompetent, or entered bankruptcy proceedings, regardless of whether the end of such Period is earlier than the date on which the Notice of such withdrawal is given, or (iv) as to a Multiple-Owner Limited Partner, the time as of which such Limited Partner became a Multiple-Owner Limited Partner, any time as of which the General Partner determines that such Multiple-Owner Limited Partner’s ownership of its Units could cause the Fund not to be excluded from the definition of an “investment company” under Section 3(c)(1) of the ICA, or such other time as the General Partner may determine, in its discretion, which time may be earlier than the date on which the Notice of such withdrawal is given.

5.4.3
Time of Payment; Partner Status. Payment of the full withdrawal amount will generally be paid within thirty (30) days of the Effective Time of a withdrawal. The Fund will pay any remaining balance or require the repayment of any overpayments, without interest, within thirty (30) days after the later of: (i) the completion of the fiscal year, or (ii) the annual audit, if any, in which a withdrawal is made. Notwithstanding that payment on account of withdrawals may be made after the Effective Time of such withdrawal, any Partner as to whom a complete withdrawal is effected pursuant to any provision of this Article 5 will not be considered a Partner for any purpose after the Effective Time of such withdrawal.

5.4.4
Manner of Payment. The Fund shall make payments in cash. Actual costs arising out of the liquidation or transfer of Units necessary to effect any such withdrawal will be specially allocated to the withdrawn Units in accordance with Section 4.3.4. If all or any portion of any payment is made in investment assets, the General Partner will give instructions to transfer such assets to the transfer agent for such assets on or before the due date of such payment, and such assets will be valued in accordance with Section 3.1 as of the date on which the General Partner issues such instructions. The General Partner will have discretion to manage the Fund’s assets after receipt of a Limited Partner’s withdrawal request in a manner intended to result in cash being available for distribution to such Limited Partner in connection with such withdrawal, but the General Partner will not be obligated to liquidate Fund assets if the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines not to do so, either because such liquidation might, in the General Partner’s judgment, be detrimental to the Units of the remaining Partners or for other reasons. The General Partner will have the discretion to segregate a portion of any assets of the Fund valued in accordance with Section 3.1 as of the Effective Time of any withdrawal equal to the amount payable to the withdrawing Partner with respect to such withdrawal. In the event the General Partner exercises its discretion to segregate Fund assets under this Section, the General Partner will also have the discretion to sell such assets for the account of such Limited Partner, in which event such Limited Partner will be entitled to the net proceeds of such sale (after payment of all expenses), which may be more or less than the amount payable to such Limited Partner as of the Effective Time of the related withdrawal, provided, however, that such Limited Partner will have the right, upon written demand, to receive a distribution of the segregated assets. Any Incentive Allocation due upon the withdrawal will be adjusted so that it is based on the Gains (if any) realized by such Limited Partner after the sale of such segregated assets.

6.2 Management Fee. Each Unit is obligated to pay the General Partner, as of the first Business Day of each calendar month, a Management Fee equal to the product of (i) the Management Fee Rate (as defined in this subsection), multiplied by (ii) such Unit’s Capital Account balance as of the first Business Day of such calendar month, after taking into consideration the adjustments called for in Section 4.4. For each Unit the monthly Management Fee will be one twelfth of one percent (1/12 of 1.0%) (approximately 1.0% on an annualized basis, assuming no Gains or Losses). The Management Fee for any calendar month will be calculated pro rata in the case of any Unit issued on a date other than the first Business Day of a calendar month. In the event that a Unit is withdrawn during a calendar month, the Management Fee will be reimbursed pro rata. The General Partner may waive, reduce, or defer the payment of all or any portion of the Management Fee as to any Unit.

7.1.1
To purchase, hold, sell, lend, borrow, or otherwise deal in those investment assets described in the Prospectus and to exercise all rights, powers, privileges, and other incidents of ownership with respect thereto; and to delegate the authority to engage in such activities as to some or all of the Fund’s assets to one or more investment managers;

7.1.11
To effect on behalf of the Fund any “agency cross transaction” (as contemplated in Rule 206(3)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act) through the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner that is registered as a broker or dealer; provided that the authority granted in this subsection may be revoked at any time by the General Partner or by vote or consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners;

7.1.12
To waive or reduce, in whole or in part, any notice period, minimum amount requirement, or other limitation or restriction imposed on capital contributions or withdrawals of capital; waive, reduce or, by agreement with any Limited Partner, otherwise vary any fee or special allocation to the General Partner, and/or any requirement imposed on that Limited Partner by this Agreement. The General Partner will have such right, power, and authority regardless of whether such notice period, minimum amount, limitation, restriction, fee, or special allocation, or the waiver or reduction thereof, operates for the benefit of the Fund, the General Partner, or fewer than all the Limited Partners;

7.1.13
To enter into and terminate, on behalf of the Fund, investment management agreements or, in the case of a managed futures fund, limited partnership agreements or their equivalent with one or more investment managers pursuant to which such investment manager will act as an investment manager for the Fund, or a managed futures fund in which the Fund invests, and have discretion to invest the Fund’s assets, provided that such agreements may not compensate such investment managers with a management fee exceeding two percent (2.0%) of actual (as opposed to notional) net assets per annum or a performance-based fee exceeding twenty percent (20%), and that any performance-based fee must be subject to a loss carryforward provision, and provided further that such investment management agreements or limited partnership agreements must limit the use of notional funding in the trading or investment program to two hundred percent (200%);

For purposes of clause (b) of the preceding sentence, if any consent of the Limited Partners to such an “assignment” is deemed to be required, such consent will be considered given if Consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners is obtained in accordance with the procedures specified in this Agreement.

7.3 Right of Others to Rely on Authority of General Partner. The execution and delivery of any contract or instrument described in Section 7.1, or the taking of any action described in Section 7.1, by the General Partner will be sufficient to bind the Fund, and will not require the consent of any other Partner.

A-13






 
 

 


7.4 Time and Services. The General Partner and its principals, members, and employees will devote such time and services to the Fund as the General Partner deems necessary for the efficient conduct of the Fund’s business, but they will not be required to devote full time to the performance of such duties. Each Partner acknowledges that such outside activities on the part of the General Partner do not give rise to an obligation to account to any other Partner or to the Fund for any profits or other benefits derived therefrom, and that neither any Partner nor the Fund will have or be entitled to any interest in any such activity, business, or investment.

7.5 Investment Opportunities. None of the Partners or their Affiliates will have any obligation to the Fund or to any of the other Partners to make any particular investment opportunity available to the Fund or to any of the other Partners. Partners and their Affiliates may engage in whatever activities they choose (including trading for their own accounts or for the accounts of persons other than the Fund or the other Partners), regardless of whether the same are competitive with the Fund or otherwise, without having or incurring any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Fund or any Partners.

7.6 Multiple General Partners. If at any time the Fund has two or more general partners, the authority to act on behalf of the Fund and the Management Fee and Incentive Allocation will be allocated among such general partners in such manner as such general partners will determine among themselves.

ARTICLE 8.
 
EXCULPATION, INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY OF GENERAL PARTNER

8.1 Exculpation and Indemnification.

8.1.1
Exculpation. Neither the General Partner, nor any member, employee, agent, or other Affiliate of the General Partner, nor any board or body with respect to the General Partner or the Fund (each, an “Indemnitee”) will be liable to the Fund or to any Partner for any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnitee in connection with this Agreement or the Fund’s business or affairs (including but not limited to any act or omission by any Indemnitee in connection with any activity of the character permitted in Section 7.1 and Section 7.5, regardless of whether such activity may be considered to have given rise to or involved conflicts between the interests of such Indemnitee and those of the Fund or the other Partners), and no such act or omission will in and of itself constitute a breach of any duty owed by any Indemnitee to the Fund or any Limited Partner hereunder or under the Act, provided such act or omission did not constitute a willful violation of law. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Fund or to a Partner, such Indemnitee acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Fund or to any Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. Such provisions, to the extent they restrict or limit the duties or liabilities of an Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to modify such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee. For purposes of this Section 8.1.1, “Indemnitee” does not include other investment entities managed by the General Partner that may be considered to be Affiliates of the General Partner solely because they are managed by the General Partner.

8.1.2
Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Indemnitee who was or is made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative (a “Proceeding”) or any appeal in such a Proceeding, by reason of such Indemnitee’s management of the affairs of the Fund, participation in such management, or rendering of advice or consultation with respect thereto, or that relate to, the Fund, its business, or its affairs, will be indemnified and held harmless by the Fund, to the extent of the Fund’s assets, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint and/or several), expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts (“Losses”) that relate to such Proceeding, except to the extent such Losses arise from actions or failures to act that are finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted a willful violation of law by such Indemnitee. A person or entity will be entitled to the indemnification prescribed in the preceding sentence whether or not such person or entity continues or continued to be a General Partner or an employee, member, partner, agent, or Affiliate of a General Partner at the time any Proceeding commences or a Loss is suffered, paid or incurred.

A-14






 
 

 


8.1.3
Advance Payment. Separate and apart from its obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8.1.2, the Fund will pay the expenses each Indemnitee incurs (or reimburse such Indemnitee for such expenses), in defending or responding to a Proceeding (including bringing and pursuing counterclaims and cross-claims), as incurred, without any determination as to the Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification, upon the Indemnitee’s request, regardless of whether or not the Proceeding has been disposed of, provided (a) the Indemnitee agrees in writing to repay such expenses to the extent they were incurred defending or responding to claims or allegations for which he or she or it is specifically and finally found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.1.2, and (b) in such written agreement the Indemnitee states that the Proceeding relates to (i) such Indemnitee’s management of the affairs of the Fund, (ii) such Indemnitee’s participation in such management, (iii) such Indemnitee’s rendering of advice or consultation with respect thereto, (iv) the Fund, or (v) the Fund’s business or affairs.

8.1.4
Limits on Indemnification. Securities laws impose liabilities on investment advisers and others under certain circumstances and, notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive or limit any right the Fund or any Partner may have under any of those laws.
 
8.2 Reliance on Agents. The General Partner may execute any power granted, or perform any duty imposed by, this Agreement either directly or through agents, including its Affiliates. The General Partner may consult with counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, and other consultants selected by the General Partner. An opinion by any consultant on a matter that the General Partner believes to be within such consultant’s professional or expert competence will be full and complete protection for any action taken or omitted by the General Partner in good faith based on the opinion. The General Partner will not be responsible for the misconduct, negligence, acts, or omissions of any consultant or of any agent or employee of the Fund, or any of the General Partner’s Affiliates, except that the General Partner must use due care in selecting such persons.

8.3 Acknowledgment of Fiduciary Duty under ERISA as to Plan Assets. The General Partner will accept capital contributions from individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans, and other entities that are subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or retirement plans or entities whose assets are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. To the extent and at such times as any assets of the Fund are deemed to be “plan assets” within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), of any Limited Partner that is an employee benefit plan governed by ERISA, the General Partner would be, and hereby acknowledges that it would be considered to be, a fiduciary within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA as to that Limited Partner. In such an event, or if any partner, employee, agent or Affiliate of the General Partner, is ever held to be a fiduciary of any Limited Partner, then, in accordance with Sections 405(b)(1), 405(c)(2) and 405(d) of ERISA, the fiduciary responsibilities of that person will be limited to the person’s duties in administering the business of the Fund, and the person will not be responsible for any other duties to such Limited Partner, specifically including evaluating the initial or continued appropriateness of this investment in the Fund under Section 404(a)(1) of ERISA.

ARTICLE 9.
 
LIABILITY AND RIGHTS OF LIMITED PARTNERS

9.1 Limited Liability. No Limited Partner will be liable for the debts, liabilities, contracts, or other obligations of the Fund, except as may be required by applicable law, including the return of distributions pursuant to Section 17-607 of the Act.

9.2 No Participation in Management. No Limited Partner may, in the capacity of a Limited Partner, take part in the management of the business of the Fund or transact any business for the Fund, nor will any Limited Partner have the power to sign for or bind the Fund in their capacity as a Limited Partner. All management responsibility and authority to act on behalf of the Fund is vested in the General Partner as provided in Section 7.1. The rights of Limited Partners to consent to specified actions are set forth in Article 10 and are limited to the rights so specified. The Limited Partners may, however, at the General Partner’s request, consult with and advise the General Partner as to the business of the Fund.

9.3 Limitations. No Limited Partner will have the right or power to: (a) bring an action for partition against the Fund; (b) cause the termination or dissolution of the Fund, except as set forth in this Agreement; or (c) demand or receive any specific property in return of such Partner’s Capital Contributions. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner will have priority over any other Limited Partner either for the return of capital, for allocations of Gains or Losses (or any items thereof), or for distributions.

ARTICLE 10.
 
PARTNERS’ CONSENTS; AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT

10.1 Consent and Voting Rights of Limited Partners. The actions listed in this Article 10 and specifically identified elsewhere in this Agreement as requiring the Consent, written or otherwise, of one or more Limited Partners constitute the only Fund matters upon which Limited Partners will have a right to consent or vote in their capacities as Limited Partners, notwithstanding any provision of the Act. In particular, and without limiting the foregoing, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or in the Act to the contrary, Limited Partners will have no right to cause or to Consent or vote on (i) the removal of any General Partner, whether directly, by way of amendment to this Agreement, or otherwise; or (ii) except as expressly provided in Section 7.2 or Section 10.1.2, the admission or appointment of any additional or successor General Partner.

10.1.1
Actions Requiring the Consent of the General Partner and a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners. The Consent of the General Partner (or, if there is more than one general partner, a Majority in Interest of all general partners) and of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners will be required for the following actions:

(a) amendments to this Agreement, but only to the extent provided in, and subject to, the provisions of, Section 10.2;
(b) actions specified in Section 7.2 as requiring the Consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners; and

(c) actions relating to a merger of the Fund and any other business entity(ies), but only to the extent such approval is required by the Act and cannot be waived by agreement among the Partners. To the extent any such requirement may be waived or modified by agreement among partners, the Partners intend to effect such a waiver and modification and to permit such a merger or other business combination upon the Consent of the General Partner without the consent of any other Partner.

10.1.2
Continuation of Fund under Certain Circumstances. The Consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners will be required to admit a successor general partner and continue the business of the Fund after any general partner ceases to be a general partner if, at the time of such cessation, there is no remaining or surviving general partner (including a successor general partner admitted to the Fund pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement).
 
10.2 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only upon the Consent of the General Partner and the Consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners, provided that the General Partner may amend this Agreement from time to time, without the consent, approval, authorization, or other action of any Limited Partner, if, in the opinion of the General Partner, the amendment does not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners generally; and provided further that no amendment may be adopted without the unanimous Consent of the Partners to the extent it would (a) change the Fund to a general partnership or change the limited liability of the Limited Partners under the Act, or (b) terminate the Fund’s status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The General Partner will promptly furnish to each Limited Partner a copy of any amendment to this Agreement adopted by the General Partner pursuant to Section 10.1.

10.3 Actions by Written Consent; Consent by Silence. All actions, votes or consents required or permitted to be taken by the Partners will be taken by the written consent of Partners holding in aggregate not less than the minimum Partnership Percentages specified herein as to the particular action, vote, or consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of obtaining any such consent as to any matter proposed by the General Partner, the General Partner may, in the notice seeking Consent of Partners, require a response within a specified period (which will not be less than fifteen days) and failure to respond within that period will constitute a vote and Consent to approve the proposed action. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the proposal for such action, any such action will be effective immediately after the required signatures have been obtained or, if applicable, the expiration of the period within which responses were required, if such requirement was imposed and there were insufficient votes cast against such action to prevent such action from becoming effective.

10.4 Record Dates. So the Fund may determine which Partners are, and in what proportion the Partners are, entitled to consent, receive any distribution, or exercise any rights, the General Partner may fix in advance a record date that is not more than sixty days before the date on which the first written consent is given and not more than sixty (60) days before any other action is to be taken. If no record date is so fixed, the record date will be the day on which the first written consent is given or the action is taken.

ARTICLE 11.
 
TRANSFERS OF FUND UNITS

11.1 Restrictions. A Limited Partner may transfer or assign their Units in the Fund upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the General Partner. No such assignee may become a substituted Limited Partner except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in those situations described in Section 11.3, below.

11.2 Effect of Violation. Any purported Transfer in violation of this Article 11 will be null and void and will not bind or be recognized by the Fund.

11.3 Admission of Substituted Limited Partners. No Transferee of a Limited Partner’s Units will be admitted to the Fund as a substitute Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner may withhold such consent only to prevent or minimize adverse legal or tax consequences to the Fund.
 
11.4 Rights of Transferee. Until and unless a Transferee of a Limited Partner’s Units is admitted to the Fund as a substitute Limited Partner pursuant to Section 11.3, the rights of such Transferee will be limited to such Transferee’s Units’ share of all allocations of Gains and Losses (and any items thereof) and all distributions, if any.

11.5 Effective Date of Transfer. Any Transfer of a Limited Partner’s Units made in compliance with this Article 11 will be effective as of the close of business on the day on which all required documentation has been received and accepted by the General Partner if such day is the first day of a fiscal quarter and, if not, on the first day of the next succeeding fiscal quarter.

11.6 Allocations between Transferor and Transferee. In the case of any Transfer, the Transferee will succeed to the Capital Accounts of the Units of the Transferor. For purposes of allocating items pursuant to Article 4, Gains and Losses (and any items thereof) allocable in respect of Units will be prorated between the Transferor and the Transferee on the basis of the number of days in the Period that each was the holder of Units without regard to the performance of the Fund’s assets during the periods before and after the effective date of the Transfer, unless the Transferor and the Transferee agree to an allocation based on the performance of the Fund’s assets as of the effective date of the transfer (or any other method permissible under the Code) and agree to reimburse the Fund for the cost of making and reporting any such allocation.

11.7 Transfer of General Partner’s Interest. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.2, the General Partner may Transfer all or any part of its Units without the Consent of any other Partner.

12.2 Inspection of Records.

12.2.1
Each Limited Partner has the right, on reasonable request and subject to such reasonable standards as the General Partner may from time to time establish (including standards for determining whether the purpose for such request is reasonably related to the Limited Partner’s interest as a Limited Partner), to obtain from the General Partner for purposes reasonably related to the Limited Partner’s interest as a Limited Partner, the information set forth above in Section 12.1 as well as information regarding the status of the business and financial condition of the Fund (generally consisting of the Fund’s financial statements) and such other information regarding the affairs of the Fund as is just and reasonable in light of the purpose related to the Limited Partner’s interest as a Limited Partner for which such information is sought. The General Partner may, however, keep confidential from any Limited Partner any information the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes could be harmful to the business of the Fund or is otherwise not in the best interests of the Fund, or that the Fund is required by law or agreement with a third party to keep confidential. Regardless of anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Act, Limited Partners will not be entitled to inspect or receive copies of the following:

12.3 Reports.

12.3.1
The Fund will send to each Partner, as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar year, the information necessary for the Partner to complete such Partner’s federal and state income tax or information returns (“Tax Information”). The General Partner may obtain extensions of the date on which the Fund’s income tax returns are due and will notify Limited Partners of such extension as soon as practicable after determining that it is appropriate for the Fund to obtain such extension. In such event, the Fund will provide the Limited Partners with the Tax Information at a reasonable time before the expiration of the term of such extension.

12.3.2
The General Partner will cause an annual financial report to be sent to each Partner as soon as practicable after the close of each fiscal year. The General Partner shall prepare the report aforementioned on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, and shall be empowered to make any changes of accounting method that it shall deem advisable. Additionally, the General Partner or the Fund’s administrator will provide unaudited account statements to each Limited Partner at least monthly.
 
12.4 Limited Rights of Access and Inspection. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in the Act to the contrary, no Limited Partner is entitled to receive or to inspect any records or information other than those expressly set forth in this Article 12.

12.7 Fund Assets. The assets of the Fund will be deposited in such financial institutions as the General Partner determines, and withdrawals will be made only in the regular course of Fund business on such signature or signatures as the General Partner determines, and subject to such procedures to which the General Partner may agree on behalf of the Fund with the custodian(s) of the Fund’s assets. No funds of the General Partner will in any way be commingled with such Fund assets.

ARTICLE 13.
 
DISSOLUTION

13.1 Events of Dissolution. The Fund will be dissolved and its affairs will be wound up upon the earlier to occur of the following times or events:
13.1.1
The election of the General Partner to dissolve the Fund upon giving thirty (30) days’ notice;

13.1.2
The cessation of the sole remaining General Partner’s status as General Partner, including by (i) the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to such Partner, (ii) if such Partner is an individual, such individual’s death or adjudicated incompetence, or (iii) if such Partner is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other entity, the dissolution of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, provided that no such cessation will cause the Fund’s dissolution if the Limited Partners appoint a successor general partner and elect to continue the Fund’s business as contemplated in Section 10.1.2;
13.1.3
Any other event that applicable law specifies must operate as an event causing the dissolution of a limited partnership notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement.

13.2 Winding Up. Upon dissolution of the Fund, the General Partner will take full account of the Fund’s liabilities and assets and the Fund’s property will be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof. The proceeds from the liquidation of the Fund’s property will be applied and distributed in the following order:

13.2.1
First, to the payment and discharge of all of the Fund’s debts and liabilities (other than those to the Partners), including the establishment of any necessary reserves;

13.2.2
Second, to the payment of any debts and liabilities to the Partners;

13.2.3
The balance, if any, to each Partner having a positive balance in his or her Units’ Capital Accounts (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all Periods, including the Period during which such dissolution occurs) in the proportion that the positive balance in such Units’ Capital Account bears to the sum of all Capital Accounts having positive balances. To the extent reasonable, each asset distributed in kind will be distributed proportionately among the Partners.

A-19






 
 

 



13.3 Timing of Liquidation Distributions. Distributions in liquidation will be made by the end of the taxable fiscal year in which the liquidation occurs or, if later, within ninety (90) days of the liquidating event and will otherwise comply with Section 1.704-1(b) of the regulations promulgated under Section 704 of the Code.

13.4 Restoration of Deficit Capital Account Balances. If upon liquidation of the Fund, any general partner has a deficit balance in its Units’ Capital Accounts (after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Fund’s taxable fiscal year in which the liquidation occurs), such General Partner will contribute cash or securities to the Fund by the end of such taxable fiscal year (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation) in an amount equal to such deficit Capital Account balances. If any Limited Partner has a deficit balance in such Partner’s Units’ Capital Accounts (after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Fund’s taxable fiscal year in which the liquidation occurs), such Limited Partner will have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Fund with respect to such deficit, and such deficit will not be considered a debt owed to the Fund or to any other person for any purpose whatsoever.

13.5 Authority to Wind Up. The General Partner may, from time to time, cause the Fund to enter into (and modify and terminate), agreements with such person(s) as the General Partner may from time to time select, authorizing such person(s) (a “Liquidating Agent”) to wind up the Fund’s affairs in the event that the Fund is subsequently dissolved by reason of the General Partner’s cessation as a general partner as provided in Section 13.1.2; provided that the total compensation the Fund may become obligated to pay to such Liquidating Agent(s) during such winding up period will not exceed 0.375% per month (1.5% per annum) of the Net Asset Value of the Fund, assessed as of the first day of each such month. If no such agreement has been entered into, or is in effect, as of the time of any such dissolution, then the person designated by court decree or by a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners will wind up the affairs of the Fund and will be entitled to compensation as approved by the court or by the Consent of a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners.

ARTICLE 14.
 
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

14.1 Representations and Warranties of Limited Partners. Each Limited Partner represents and warrants to the Fund and each General Partner that:

14.1.1
The information provided and the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, and agreements made and given in the Subscription Applications relating to such Limited Partner’s offer to purchase Units are true and correct and constitute a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein; and

14.1.2
Such Limited Partner is aware that, because allocations pursuant to Section 4.6 have the effect of allocating to the Partners tax benefits and tax burdens, the timing of particular allocations and the character (e.g., capital gain or loss versus ordinary income or loss; short-term capital gain or loss versus long term capital gain or loss) of items allocated will have a direct financial impact on such Partner and such Partner’s after-tax economic return.

14.2 Representations and Warranties of Private Investment Companies. Each Limited Partner that is an entity that would be an “investment company” under the ICA but for an exclusion under either Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the ICA has advised the General Partner of the number of persons that constitute “beneficial owners of such Limited Partner’s outstanding securities (other than short-term paper)” within the meaning of clause (A) of subsection 3(c)(1) of the ICA, and will advise the General Partner promptly upon any change in that number.

14.3 Appointment of the General Partner as Attorney-in-Fact.

14.3.1
Each Limited Partner, including each substituted Limited Partner, by the execution of this Agreement, irrevocably constitutes and appoints the General Partner its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in its name, place, and stead to execute, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file, and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to:

A-20






 
 

 




(a) all certificates and other instruments, and any amendment thereof, that the General Partner deems appropriate in order to form, qualify, or continue the Fund as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the Limited Partners will have limited liability comparable to that provided by the Act) in the jurisdiction in which the Fund may conduct business or in which such formation, qualification, or continuation is, in the discretion of the General Partner, necessary to protect the limited liability of the Limited Partner;

(b) all amendments to this Agreement adopted in accordance with the terms hereof and all instruments which the General Partner deems appropriate to reflect a change or modification of the Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(c) all conveyances and other instruments the General Partner deems appropriate to reflect the dissolution and termination of the Fund; and

(d) with respect to each Partner, any and all documents necessary to convey such Partner’s Units in the Fund to any Transferee thereof and thereby to withdraw such Partner from the Fund and admit any substitute Partner to the Fund.

14.3.2
The appointment by all Partners of the General Partner as attorney-in-fact will be deemed to create a power coupled with an interest, in recognition of the fact that the Partners under this Agreement will be relying upon the power of the General Partner to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing and other action by the General Partner on behalf of the Fund, and will survive any Event of Bankruptcy, death, adjudication of incompetence, or dissolution of any person giving such power, and the Transfer of all or any part of the Units of such person; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer, the foregoing power of attorney will survive such Transfer only until such time as the Transferee will have been admitted to the Fund as a substituted Partner and all required documents and instruments will have been duly executed, filed, and recorded to effect such substitution.

14.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and as executed will constitute one agreement, binding on all of the parties hereto.

14.5 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

14.6 Notices. All Notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be given to the Partner entitled thereto by personal service or by mail to the address maintained by the Fund for such person. Any Notice sent by certified or registered mail to the address so maintained will be deemed received within three days after mailing.

14.7 Benefits. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is entered into for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and will not be interpreted in such a manner as to give rise to or create any rights or benefits of or for any person not a party hereto.

14.8 Severability. If any covenant, condition, term or provision of this Agreement is illegal or if the application thereof to any person is judicially determined to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such covenant, condition, term or provision to persons or in circumstances other than those held invalid or enforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each covenant, term, condition and provision of this Agreement will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
14.9 Complete Agreement. This Agreement together with the Subscription Applications and any supplemental Subscription Applications executed and delivered by Limited Partners in connection with their Capital Contributions, constitute the complete agreement among the parties concerning the subject matter hereof.

14.10 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely within the State of Delaware; provided that United States Federal law, including the Federal Arbitration Act, will apply to Section 14.12.

A-21






 
 

 




14.11 Gender, Number, and Headings. As used in this Agreement, the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, as the context so requires; and the singular number will include the plural, and vice versa, as the context so requires. As used in this Agreement, Article and Section headings are for the convenience of reference only and will not be used to modify, interpret, limit, expand or construe the terms of this Agreement.

14.12 Arbitration. Except for actions to determine whether Losses (as that term is defined in Section 8.1.2) for which the General Partner or any of its members, employees, agents, or Affiliates seeks indemnification under Section 8.1.2 arose out of actions or failures to act that constituted a willful violation of law by the purported Indemnitee and for which such indemnification therefore is not available, any controversy between or among any of the Partners or between any Partner and the Fund involving the Fund, this Agreement, or any subscription by any Limited Partner for Units in the Fund will be submitted to arbitration on the request of any party to any such controversy in the county, state, and/or country in which the General Partner maintains its principal office at the time the request for such arbitration is made or, if there is more than one General Partner, the county, state, and/or country in which the general partners with a majority in interest of the general partner interests maintain their principal offices at such time; (save where the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) is not applicable in the General Partners principal place of business, then any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be referred to an arbitrator in accordance with the arbitration laws of that applicable jurisdiction.) The arbitration will comply with and be governed by the provisions of the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA and no party to any such controversy will be entitled to any punitive damages; (save where the AAA is not applicable in the General Partners principal place of business, then any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be referred to an arbitrator in accordance with the arbitration laws of that applicable jurisdiction). Notwithstanding such rules, no arbitration proceeding brought against the Fund or the General Partner will be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding brought against the Fund or the General Partner without the Fund’s and the General Partner’s consent. Judgment may be entered upon any award granted in any such arbitration in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county, state and/or country in which the General Partner maintains its principal office at the time the award is rendered (or, if there is more than one General Partner, the county, state and/or country in which the general partners with a majority in interest of the general partner interests maintain their principal offices at such time). By signing this Agreement, each Partner agrees to waive their right to seek remedies in court, including any right to a jury trial; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph will constitute a waiver of any right a party to this Agreement may have to choose a judicial forum to the extent such a waiver would violate applicable law.

14.13 Covenant to Sign Documents. Each Partner will execute, with acknowledgement or affidavit if required, all documents and writings reasonably necessary or expedient in the creation of the Fund and the achievement of its purpose, including certifications in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 1446 regarding withholding taxes on foreign persons.

14.14 No Waiver. A Partner’s failure to insist on the strict performance of any covenant or duty required by this Agreement, or to pursue any remedy under this Agreement, will not constitute a waiver of the breach or the remedy.

14.15 Group Ownership of Units. Units may be held jointly by husband and wife as community property, or by husband and wife or by unrelated persons as joint tenants or tenants in common, as shown on the signature page of the applicable Subscription Application or in the Fund’s books and records. In any multiple ownership case, the Fund and each General Partner will be entitled to consider any Notice, vote, check, or similar document signed by any one of the persons in the ownership group to bind all persons in the group.

If Purchaser’s Subscription Agreement is accepted, Purchaser agrees to contribute Purchaser’s subscription to the Class of Units subscribed for and to accept the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Fund, as amended from time to time (the “Partnership Agreement”), attached as Exhibit A to the Prospectus. Purchaser agrees to reimburse the Fund and MA Capital Management, LLC (the “General Partner”), as general partner, for any expense or loss incurred as a result of the cancellation of Purchaser’s Units due to a failure of Purchaser to deliver good funds in the amount of the subscription price.

(b) Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has received a copy of the Prospectus, including the Partnership Agreement. (c) All information that Purchaser has furnished to the General Partner or that is set forth in the Subscription Agreement submitted by Purchaser is correct and complete as of the date of such Subscription Agreement, and if there should be any change in such information prior to acceptance of Purchaser’s subscription, Purchaser will immediately furnish such revised or corrected information to the General Partner. (d) Unless (e) or (f) below is applicable, Purchaser’s subscription is made with Purchaser’s funds for Purchaser’s own account and not as trustee, custodian or nominee for another. (e) The subscription, if made as custodian for a minor, is a gift Purchaser has made to such minor and is not made with such minor’s funds or, if not a gift, the representations as to net worth and annual income set forth below apply only to such minor. (f) If Purchaser is an entity, the person signing the Subscription Agreement is duly authorized to do so and such entity has full power and authority to purchase such Units and enter into and accept the terms of the Subscription Agreement and become a limited partner of the Fund. (g) Purchaser either is not required to be registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or to be a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) or if required to be so registered is duly registered with the CFTC and is a member in good standing of the NFA. (h) Purchaser represents and warrants that Purchaser has (i) a net worth of at least $250,000 (exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles) or (ii) an annual gross income of at least $70,000 and a net worth (similarly calculated) of at least $70,000. Residents of certain states indicated below must meet the requirements set forth below (net worth in all cases is exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles). In addition, Purchaser may not invest more than 10% of his net worth (exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles) in the Fund. (i) If the Purchaser is acting on behalf of a trust (a “Limited Partner Trust”), the individual signing the Subscription Agreement on behalf of the Limited Partner Trust hereby further represents and warrants that an investment in the Fund is permitted under the trust agreement of the Limited Partner Trust, and that the undersigned is authorized to act on behalf of the Limited Partner Trust under the trust agreement thereof.

Residents of the following states must meet the requirements set forth below (net worth in all cases is exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles).

An accredited investor includes: (1) any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person’s spouse, at the time of such person’s purchase of the Units exceeds $1,000,000 (excluding the value of such person’s residence); or (2) any natural person who had individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years, or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years, and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year. For purposes of determining the value of the primary residence to be excluded from net worth, such person should exclude any net equity in his or her primary residence (i.e., the amount by which the current market value of the residence exceeds the current outstanding balance of any mortgage or other indebtedness secured by the residence). If the current outstanding balance of any such mortgage or other indebtedness exceeds the current market value of the residence, the amount of any such excess shall cause a reduction in such person’s net worth. If the current outstanding balance of such mortgage exceeds the amount outstanding 60 days before the proposed subscription date (other than as a result of the acquisition of the such person’s primary residence), the amount of such excess shall cause a reduction in such person’s net worth.”

(A) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; and

(B) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
 

 
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the Registrant had been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
