On July 1, 2014, the Partnership, Winton Capital Management Limited (the “Advisor”) and Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc. (d/b/a Altegris Funds) (the “General Partner”) entered into an Amendment Agreement to supplement and amend the Trading Advisory Agreement among the Partnership, the Advisor and the General Partner dated 12 April 1999. The amendment modifies the duties of the Advisor such that the Advisor’s responsibility for managing the Partnership’s commodity trading activities is subject to the overall risk management oversight of the General Partner, states that such management must be in accordance with risk management principles and parameters as communicated by the General Partner from time to time, provides for immediate termination if the Advisor is not willing or able to agree to such principles and parameters, and provides a requirement of notice of any breaches. The amendment sets forth the General Partner’s overall responsibility for the risk management of the Partnership, which includes: (a) returns monitoring, (b) VaR monitoring; and (c) exposure monitoring. The General Partner and the Advisor further agree to negotiate in good faith to effect amendments as may be required to avoid the Advisor becoming an Alternative Investment Fund Manager within the meaning of the European Union Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive. The Partnership and General Partner represent and warrant to the Advisor that the Partnership is a “qualified eligible person” and “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act. The Partnership consents to having the Advisor transact block trades involving swaps or large notional off-facility swaps on its behalf and to the aggregation of its orders with orders for other customers.
