RJO GLOBAL TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015

(Unaudited)

(1) General Information and Summary

The RJO Global Trust (the “Trust”), is a Delaware statutory trust organized on November 12, 1996 under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The business of the Trust is the speculative trading of commodity interests, including U.S. and international futures, spot and forward contracts on currencies, interest rates, energy and agricultural products, metals and stock indices, hybrid instruments, swaps, any rights pertaining thereto and any options thereon or on physical commodities, as well as securities and any rights pertaining thereto and any options thereon, pursuant to the trading instructions of multiple independent commodity trading advisors (each a “Trading Advisor” and collectively, the “Trading Advisors”).

R.J. O’Brien Fund Management, LLC, the managing owner of the Trust (“RJOFM” or the “Managing Owner”), acquired the managing owner interest in the Trust from Refco Commodity Management, Inc. (“RCMI”) on November 30, 2006. The Managing Owner of the Trust was initially formed as an Illinois corporation in November 2006, and became a Delaware limited liability company in July of 2007. The Managing Owner has been registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator, and has been a member in good standing of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) in such capacity, since December 1, 2006. The Managing Owner is registered as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (“CE Act”), and is responsible for administering the business and affairs of the Trust. The Managing Owner is an affiliate of R.J. O’Brien & Associates LLC, the clearing broker for the Trust (“RJO” or the “Clearing Broker”).

Units of beneficial ownership of the Trust (“units”) commenced selling on April 3, 1997. Effective July 1, 2011, the Managing Owner discontinued the public offering of the units and began offering the units on a private placement basis only. The Trust filed a Post-Effective Amendment to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 5, 2011 to deregister the remaining units that were unsold under the public offering. The Post-Effective Amendment was declared effective by the SEC on July 8, 2011. Effective January 15, 2014, the Managing Owner began offering Class C and Class D units. The Class A and Class B units are no longer offered.

Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement dated August 30, 2013 (the “Investment Management Agreement”), the Managing Owner appointed RPM Risk & Portfolio Management Aktiebolag, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Sweden, as investment manager to the Trust (“RPM” or the “Investment Manager”). The Trust remains a multi-advisor commodity pool where trading decisions for the Trust are delegated to the Trading Advisors, representing the Investment Manager’s “Evolving Manager Program”. RPM is responsible for selecting, monitoring, and replacing each commodity trading advisor available for its Evolving Manager Program. RPM is also responsible for the Trust’s allocations to each Trading Advisor through the Trust’s investment in RJ OASIS (as defined below). RPM may also add, remove or replace any Trading Advisor without the consent of or advance notice to investors. Investors will be notified of any material change in the basic investment policies or structure of the Trust.

The Evolving Manager Program seeks to identify and select commodity trading advisors with shorter track records and with smaller assets under management who, in the opinion of the Investment Manager, appear to have potential for long-term over-performance relative to their respective peer group. RPM may add, delete or modify such categories of investment strategies in line with its investment objective and policy. The strategies include three broad based categories that are described as follows (each, an “Eligible Strategy”):

Trend Following. A strategy that is often classified as “long volatility” because it tries to take advantage of large movements or “trends” in prices. Trading programs are often fully systematic with limited application of discretion using a wide range of technical analysis methods to determine when trends occur.

·	Short-Term Trading. A strategy that refers to all futures and currency investment strategies with a trading horizon ranging from intraday to less than a month, which seeks to exploit short-term price inefficiencies. This is typically done using technical analysis.

Fundamental Trading. A strategy that attempts to predict the future direction of markets based on macroeconomic data with less focus on price data alone. A fundamental approach seeks to find opportunities where price does not properly reflect the fundamental valuation of the underlying asset, i.e. its intrinsic value. A fundamental valuation can be done using various approaches but the most common methodologies are macroeconomic analysis and relative valuation.

Table of Contents

The Investment Manager will, in its discretion, determine the minimum or maximum target allocation or allocation range, or the manner in which to rebalance the Trust or adjust relative weightings of the Trust. RPM has complete flexibility in allocation and reallocating the Trust’s capital in any manner that it may deem appropriate. There can be no assurance as to which factors the Investment Manager may consider in making capital allocations for the Trust, or as to which allocation the Investment Manager may make.

The Trust’s assets are currently allocated to O’Brien Alternative Strategic Investment Solutions, LLC (“RJ OASIS”), a Delaware series limited liability company operated by RJOFM. Each “series” of RJ OASIS feeds into a separate trading company established to facilitate trading by a particular Trading Advisor (each, a “Trading Company” and collectively, the “Trading Companies”). The Trading Companies are operated by RJOFM.

On January 31, 2015, the Trust entered into the Tenth Amended and Restated Declaration and Agreement of Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) to aggregate comments made through previous amendments to the Ninth Amended and Restated Declaration and Agreement of Trust, as well as to: (i) make certain clarifying edits; (ii) reflect certain updates to the language regarding the fees and expenses of the Trust; and (iii) revise language regarding certain regulatory requirements of the Trust that are no longer applicable. None of the foregoing items were expected to significantly affect the unitholders.

As of September 30, 2015, prior to quarter-end reallocation, RPM has delegated trading decisions for the Trust to six independent Trading Advisors: Revolution Capital Management, LLC (“RCM”), PGR Capital LLP (“PGR”), Centurion Investment Management, LLC (“CIM”), ROW Asset Management, LLC (“ROW”), Turning Wheel Capital, Inc. (“TWC”) and Claughton Capital, LLC (“Claughton”), pursuant to advisory agreements executed between the Managing Owner, and, as applicable, each Trading Company and each Trading Advisor (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively the “Advisory Agreements”).

The Advisory Agreements provide that each Trading Advisor has discretion in and responsibility for the selection of the Trading Company’s commodity transactions with respect to that portion of the series’ assets allocated to it. As of September 30, 2015, prior to quarter-end reallocation, RCM was managing 16.43%, PGR 18.35%, CIM 22.56%, ROW 14.62%, TWC 4.04% and Claughton 3.52% of the Trust’s assets, respectively. Approximately 20.48% of the Trust’s assets were not allocated to any Trading Advisor.

RCM, PGR, CIM, ROW, TWC, and Claughton are technical traders, and as such, their programs do not predict price movements. No fundamental economic supply or demand analysis is used in attempting to identify mispricing in the market, and no macroeconomic assessments of the relative strengths of different national economies or economic sectors are made. However, there are frequent periods during which fundamental factors external to the market dominate prices.

The Trust has no officers, directors or employees.

RJO is a “futures commission merchant,” the Managing Owner is a “commodity pool operator” and the Trading Advisors to the Trust are “commodity trading advisors,” as those terms are used in the CE Act. As such, they are registered with and subject to regulation by the CFTC and are each a member of NFA in such respective capacities. R.J. O’Brien Securities, LLC, an affiliate of RJOFM and the lead selling agent for the Trust, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

The Managing Owner is responsible for the preparation of monthly and annual reports to the beneficial owners of the Trust (the “Beneficial Owners”), filing reports required by the CFTC, the NFA, the SEC and any state agencies having jurisdiction over the Trust; calculation of the Trust’s net asset value (“NAV”) (meaning the total assets less total liabilities of the Trust) and directing payment of the management and incentive fees payable to the Investment Manager and Trading Advisors under the Investment Management Agreement and Advisory Agreements, as applicable.

The Trust will be terminated on December 31, 2026, unless terminated earlier upon the occurrence of one of the following: (1) Beneficial Owners holding more than 50% of the outstanding units notify the Managing Owner to dissolve the Trust as of a specific date; (2) 120 days after the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Managing Owner, unless the bankruptcy court approves the sale and assignment of the interests of the Managing Owner to a purchaser/assignor that assumes the duties of the Managing Owner; (3) 120 days after the notice of the retirement, resignation, or withdrawal of the Managing Owner, unless Beneficial Owners holding more than 50% of the outstanding units appoint a successor; (4) 90 days after the insolvency of the Managing Owner or any other event that would cause the Managing Owner to cease being managing owner of the Trust, unless Beneficial Owners holding more than 50% of the outstanding units appoint a successor; (5) dissolution of the Managing Owner; (6) insolvency or bankruptcy of the Trust; (7) a decrease in the NAV to less than $2,500,000; (8) a decline in the NAV per unit to $50 or less; (9) dissolution of the Trust; or (10) any event that would make it unlawful for the existence of the Trust to be continued or require dissolution of the Trust.

Table of Contents

A portion of the Trust’s net assets are deposited in the Trust’s accounts with RJO, the Trust’s clearing broker and currency dealer. For U.S. dollar deposits, 100% of interest earned on the Trust’s assets, calculated by the average four-week Treasury bill rate, is paid to the Trust. For non-U.S. dollar deposits, the current rate of interest is equal to a rate of one-month LIBOR less 100 basis points. Any amounts received by RJO in excess of amounts paid to the Trust are retained by RJO. On October 6, 2010, the Managing Owner appointed RJO Investment Management LLC (“RJOIM”), an affiliate of the Managing Owner, to manage the Trust’s cash deposited with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells”). As of September 30, 2015, Wells held approximately $1.4 million of the Trust’s assets. To the extent excess cash is not invested in securities, such cash will be subject to the creditworthiness of the institution where such funds are deposited.

As of September 30, 2015, accounting and transfer agency services for the Trust are provided by NAV Consulting, Inc., the Trust’s administrator.

In 2005, certain assets held by the Trust’s prior clearing broker, Refco Capital Markets, LTD (“REFCO, LTD”), were determined to be illiquid. On October 31, 2005, $57,544,206 of equity was moved to a separate non-trading account (the “Non-Trading Account”) and 2,273,288 in substitute units were issued to the unitholders at that time, pro rata to their share in the Trust. At December 31, 2005, the illiquid assets were determined to be impaired and were reduced by $39,580,944 for impairment, based on management’s estimate at that time.

Through 2006, the Trust received $10,319,318 from the prior clearing broker in bankruptcy court and distributed $9,335,669 to unitholders in the manner as described in (a) and (b) below.

Effective January 1, 2007, JWH Special Circumstance LLC (the “LLC”), a limited liability company, was established to pursue additional claims against REFCO, LTD, and all Non-Trading Accounts were transferred to the LLC. Any new funds received from REFCO, LTD by the LLC were distributed to unitholders who were investors in the Trust at the time of the bankruptcy of REFCO, LTD and Refco, Inc. U.S. Bank National Association (“US Bank”) was appointed as manager of the LLC. US Bank made distributions to the unitholders, as defined above, upon collection, sale, settlement or other disposition of the bankruptcy claim and after payment of all fees and expenses pro rata to the unitholders, as explained above, as follows:

(a) Any unitholder who had redeemed their entire interest in the Trust prior to distribution received cash (“Non-Participating Owners”).

(b) Any unitholder who had continued to own units in the Trust received additional units in the Trust at the then net asset value of the Trust (“Participating Owner”).

The unitholders had no rights to request redemptions from the LLC.

The LLC compensated US Bank, as manager, the following: (1) an initial acceptance fee of $120,000, (2) an annual fee of $25,000, (3) a distribution fee of $25,000 per distribution, (4) out-of-pocket expenses, and (5) an hourly fee for all personnel at the then expected hourly rate (initially $350 per hour).

Effective as of June 15, 2015 (the “Termination Date”), the LLC was dissolved by US Bank. US Bank effected the dissolution based upon their belief that substantially all of the LLC’s claims had been liquidated and the related proceeds had been distributed to the unitholders, and that the LLC was not likely to receive further significant recoveries related to such claims. Accordingly, the LLC has ceased to carry on its business as of the Termination Date except insofar as may be necessary for the winding up of its business. As of the Termination Date, the LLC has taken full account of its assets and liabilities, and has made payment or has otherwise provided for all of its remaining debts and liabilities. US Bank has established a contingency reserve with all remaining funds from the LLC in its possession in the approximate amount of $475,000 to pay for any future wind up expenses of, or other claims made against, the LLC on or prior to June 15, 2017 (the “Reserve Termination Date”). To the extent no claims or obligations of the LLC remain outstanding as of the Reserve Termination Date (as determined in US Bank’s reasonable discretion), US Bank will distribute the then remaining funds to the unitholders, provided, however, if the amount of remaining funds available for distribution does not significantly exceed the cost of making such distribution, US Bank reserves the right to donate the remaining amounts to a nationally recognized charity.

Accordingly, the LLC/Non-trading unitholders capital accounts were distributed to US Bank on the Termination Date. Amounts estimated to be due to Participating Owners aggregating $21,358 are reflected as a distribution payable and a receivable from US Bank in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

See Note (6) for further detail regarding collection and distribution activity related to the assets held at REFCO, LTD.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Trust conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to practices in the commodities industry. The following is a description of the more significant of those policies that the Trust follows in preparing its consolidated financial statements.

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Trust have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations of the Trust for the periods presented have been included.

The Trust’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

While the Trust is not registered, and is not required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, it meets the definition of an investment company within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, and follows the accounting and reporting guidance therein.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust, its wholly-owned subsidiaries: the LLC through the Termination Date (see Note (1) above), the OASIS Centurion Investment Mgmt Series, OASIS Turing Wheel Capital Series, and OASIS Claughton Capital Series. The consolidated financial statements also include the controlling and majority equity interest in the OASIS Revolution Capital Mgmt Series, OASIS PGR Capital Series and OASIS ROW Asset Mgmt Series. Interests in such series of RJ OASIS not wholly-owned by the Trust are shown as non-controlling interests. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Commodity futures contracts, forward contracts, physical commodities, and related options are recorded on their trade date. All such transactions are recorded on a mark-to-market basis and measured at fair value daily. Unrealized gains on open contracts reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition represent the difference between original contract amount and fair value (as determined by exchange settlement prices for futures contracts and related options and cash dealer prices at a predetermined time for forward contracts, physical commodities, and their related options) as of the last business day of the reporting period or as of the last date of the consolidated financial statements. As the broker has the right of offset, the Trust presents unrealized gains and losses on open futures contracts (the difference between contract trade price and quoted market price) as a net amount in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss on futures and forward contracts from the preceding period is reported in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated.

The Trust may write (sell) and purchase exchange listed options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Trust writes an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the statement of financial condition and measured at fair value daily. When the Trust purchases an option, the premium paid is recorded as an asset in the consolidated statements of financial condition and measured at fair value daily. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the consolidated statements of operations. When a written option expires or the Trust enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid at expiration or on executing a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is recognized as a component of realized gain (loss) on closed positions. When a purchased option is exercised, the proceeds on the sale of an underlying instrument (for a purchased put option), or the purchase cost of an underlying instrument (for a purchased call option) is adjusted by the amount of the premium paid.

Table of Contents

For each series of RJ OASIS in which the Trust invests, that portion of the Trust’s net assets are deposited into an account of the relevant Trading Company held at RJO, the clearing broker and currency dealer for each Trading Company. For U.S. dollar deposits, 100% of interest earned on the series’ assets, calculated by the average four-week Treasury bill rate, is paid to the series. For non-U.S. dollar deposits, the current rate of interest is equal to a rate of one-month LIBOR less 100 basis points. Any amounts received by RJO in excess of amounts paid to the series are retained by RJO. On October 6, 2010, the Managing Owner appointed RJOIM, an affiliate of the Managing Owner, to manage the Trust’s cash deposited with Wells. As of September 30, 2015, Wells held approximately $1.4 million of the Trust’s assets. To the extent excess cash is not invested in securities, such cash will be subject to the creditworthiness of the institution where such funds are deposited.

(d) Ongoing Offering Costs

Ongoing offering costs, subject to a ceiling of 0.50% of the Trust’s average month-end net asset value, are paid by the Trust and accrued monthly.

(e) Foreign Currency Transactions

Trading accounts in foreign currency denominations are susceptible to both movements in the underlying contract markets as well as fluctuation in currency rates. Foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars for closed positions at an average exchange rate for the year, while year-end balances are translated at the year-end currency rates. The impact of the translation is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

(f) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(g) Valuation of Assets Held at Refco Capital Markets, Ltd.

The Trust recorded an impairment charge against its assets held at REFCO, LTD at December 31, 2005, based on management’s estimate of fair value at that time. Subsequent recoveries from REFCO, LTD were credited against the then book value of the claim. On June 28, 2007, the Trust’s cumulative recoveries from REFCO, LTD exceeded the book value of the impaired assets held at REFCO, LTD, which resulted in no remaining book value for those assets. All recoveries in excess of the book value of the impaired assets have been recorded as “Collections in excess of impaired value” on the Trust’s consolidated statements of operations. As part of the winding down of the LLC, US Bank, as Manager of the LLC, has taken into full account the LLC’s liabilities and assets, and has made payment and otherwise provided for all remaining LLC’s debts and liabilities. See Note (6) for further details.

(h) Recent Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In July 2015, the FASB voted to delay the effective date of this ASU by one year. The ASU will now be effective commencing with the Trust’s quarter ending March 31, 2018. Early adoption of this ASU is allowed no sooner than the original effective date. The Trust has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern: Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This ASU also requires management to disclose certain information depending on the results of the going concern evaluation. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. This amendment is applicable to the Trust beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 amends the consolidation considerations when evaluating certain limited partnerships, variable interest entities and investment funds. The ASU is effective for the Trust in the first quarter of 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance also requires retrospective or modified retrospective application to all prior periods presented. The Trust is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). ASU 2015-07 removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for the Trust in the first quarter of 2016, with early adoption permitted. The guidance also requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented. The Trust is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

(3) Fees

Management fees are accrued and paid monthly by the relevant series’ Trading Company. Incentive fees are accrued monthly and paid quarterly, as applicable, by the relevant series’ Trading Company. Trading decisions for the period of these financial statements were made by the Trading Advisors.

Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust pays the Managing Owner a fee of 0.50% of the Trust’s month-end net assets on an annual basis. The Managing Owner fee is not paid on the LLC’s net assets.

Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Trust pays RPM a monthly management fee at a rate of 0.0625% (a 0.75% annual rate) of the Trust’s month-end net asset calculated after determined and before reduction for any RPM management fees then being calculated and all other fees and expenses as of such month end, and before giving effect to any subscriptions for units in the Trust made as of the beginning of the month immediately following such month end and to any distributions or redemptions accrued during or as of such month end. These management fees are not paid on the LLC’s net assets.

Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, RPM will receive from the Class C and D units a quarterly incentive fee of 10% of any “New Appreciation”, if any, of any New Assets. “New Assets” are that portion of the assets contributed to the Trust from the date of the Investment Management Agreement. New Appreciation in any quarter is equal to the amount by which the net asset value of the New Assets, prior to reduction for any accrued RPM performance fee, but after reduction for all other fees and expenses allocable to the New Assets (including the RPM management fee and management and incentive fees paid to the Trading Advisors, as described below), exceeds the cumulative trading profit as of any previous calendar quarter-end. Interest income shall not be taken into account in calculating New Appreciation. This incentive fee is not paid on the LLC’s capital appreciation (if any).

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreements, each Trading Advisor receives from the relevant series’ Trading Company a monthly management fee at the rate of up to 0.083% (a 1% annual rate) of the Trust’s month-end net assets calculated after deduction of brokerage fees, but before reduction for any incentive fee or other costs and before inclusion of new unitholder subscriptions and redemptions for the month. These management fees are not paid on the LLC’s net assets.

Pursuant to its Advisory Agreement, each Trading Advisor may also receive from the relevant series’ Trading Company a quarterly incentive fee of up to 25% of the “New Trading Profit,” if any, of the Trust. The incentive fee is based on the performance of each Trading Advisor’s portion of the assets allocated to them. New Trading Profit in any quarter is equal to the “Trading Profit” for such quarter that is in excess of the highest level of such cumulative trading profit as of any previous calendar quarter-end. Trading Profit is calculated by including realized and unrealized profits and losses, excluding interest income, and deducting the management fee and brokerage fee. These incentive fees are not paid on the LLC’s capital appreciation (if any).

For a description of the fees paid by the Trust to RJOIM, the Trust’s cash manager, see Note (10).

(4) Income Taxes

It is expected that that the Trust will be treated as a “partnership” for both U.S. federal and state tax purposes. As such, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as each beneficial owner is responsible for reporting income (loss) based on its pro rata share of the profits or losses of the Trust. The only significant differences in financial and income tax reporting basis are ongoing offering costs.

The Trust files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and local jurisdictions. The Trust’s U.S. federal income tax returns for all tax years ended on or after December 31, 2012, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Trust’s state and local income tax returns are subject to examination by the respective state and local authorities over various statutes of limitations, generally ranging from three to five years from the date of filing.

(5) Trading Activities and Related Risks

The Trust, through its indirect investment in the Trading Companies, engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and international futures contracts, options, and forward contracts (collectively derivatives). These derivatives include both financial and non-financial contracts held as part of a diversified trading strategy. The Trading Companies are exposed to both market risk - the risk arising from changes in the market value of the contract - and credit risk - the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.

The purchase and sale of futures requires initial and on-going margin deposits with a futures commission merchant (“FCM”). The CE Act requires an FCM to segregate or secure all customer transactions and assets from the FCM’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property, such as U.S. Treasury Bills, deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM’s segregation requirements. In the event of an FCM’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a customer’s pro rata share of segregated funds. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than the total of cash and other property deposited by the customer.

The Trust, through its indirect investment in the Trading Companies, has cash on deposit with the FCM in connection with its trading of forward contracts. In the normal course of business, the Trust does not require collateral from such interbank market maker. Due to forward contracts being traded in unregulated markets between principals, the Trust also assumes a credit risk, the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the market value of the contracts. Theoretically, the Trading Companies are exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.

A Trading Company, as writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (called) and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option. There is also the risk the Trading Company may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

The Trading Companies may purchase exchange-traded options. As such, the relevant Trading Company pays a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the option. Purchased options expose the Trading Companies to a risk of loss limited to the premiums paid.

Net trading results from derivatives for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and are equal to the gain or loss from trading less brokerage commissions. Such trading results reflect the net gain or loss arising from the Trust’s speculative trading of futures contracts, options and forward contracts through its indirect investment with the Trading Companies.

The Trust invests its margin in fixed income securities as permitted by CFTC regulations regarding acceptable securities for investment of segregated assets and the RJOIM agreement with the Trust. Such acceptable securities, include, but are not limited to, U.S. Treasury and government agencies’ securities, purchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury and government agencies, corporate debt securities, and bank debt securities. The Trust’s total investment in corporate debt securities, bank deposit securities, and certificate of deposits combined cannot exceed 40% of the Trust’s total assets.

The Beneficial Owners bear the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective investments in the Trust.

See Note (11) for further details on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

(6) Assets Held at Refco Capital Markets, Ltd.

Effective October 31, 2005, $57,544,206 of equity and 2,273,288 in substitute units, which represented the assets held at REFCO, LTD plus $1,000,000 in cash, were transferred to a Non-Trading account, as explained in Note 2(g). On December 31, 2005 the $56,544,206 of assets held at REFCO, LTD were reduced by $39,580,944 for impairment to $16,963,262, or 30% of the original value of the assets. See Note (1) for discussion of the termination of LLC. The table below summarizes all recoveries from REFCO, LTD and distributions to redeemed and continuing unitholders prior to the Termination Date.

*The collections on June 4, 2010 were from a settlement agreement reached with Cargill, Inc. and Cargill Investors Services, Inc. (together, "Cargill"). The gross collections of $15,300,000 on June 4, 2010, were reduced by $970,550, which represented Cargill's percentage of distributions, as defined in the Settlement Agreement. All subsequent collections are shown net and were reduced by Cargill's percentage of distributions at 57.25% of the gross collections.

See Item I: Note (1) for additional information on dissolution of the non-trading entity, JWH Special Circumstance, LLC.

(7) Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, the Trust established a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The value of any exchange-traded futures contracts and options fall into this category.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This category includes forward currency contracts, options on forward currency contracts and fixed income securities that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies derived from observable market data.

Table of Contents

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Trust did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

An asset or liability’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The Trust’s exchange-traded futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Trust’s forward currency contracts and options on forward currency contracts are based on third-party quoted dealer values on the interbank market, based on similar assets or liabilities.

The following table presents the Trust’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

(8) Operations

Redemptions

A beneficial owner may cause any or all of his or her units to be redeemed by the Trust effective as of the last business day of any month based on the net asset value per unit on such date on five business days’ written notice to NAV Consulting, Inc., the Trust’s administrator, or the Managing Owner. Payment will generally be made within 10 business days of the effective date of the redemption. The Trust Agreement contains a full description of redemption and distribution policies.

Subscriptions

Investors that are eligible to participate in the private offering of the units may purchase units in the Trust pursuant to the terms of the Trust’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum and disclosure document (the “Memorandum”) and a signed subscription form. The Trust Agreement and the Memorandum contain a full description of subscription policies. An investment in the Trust does not include a beneficial interest or investment in the LLC.

Commissions

The Managing Owner and/or affiliates act as commodity brokers for the Trust through RJO. Commodity brokerage commissions are typically paid upon the completion or liquidation of a trade and are referred to as “round-turn commissions,” which cover both: the initial purchase (or sale) and the subsequent offsetting sale (or purchase) of a commodity futures contract.

“Commission fee” includes the following across each class of units (1):

Recipient	Nature of Payment	Class A Units			Class B Units			Class C Units			Class D Units (2)
Managing Owner	Managing Owner Fee		0.50	%		0.50	%		0.50	%		0.50	%
Selling Agents	Selling Commission (monthly)		2.00	%		0.00	%		0.00	%		2.00	%
Selling Agents	Selling Commission (initial sales charge) (3)		0.00	%		0.00	%		0.00	%		2.00	%
Managing Owner	Wholesale Fee (4)		0.00	%		0.00	%		0.35	%		0.35	%
Clearing Broker	Clearing, NFA and exchange fees (approximately) (5)		2.60	%		2.60	%		2.60	%		2.60	%

			5.10	%		3.10	%		3.45	%		7.45	%

(1) The above costs, fees and expenses are reflected in the commission by class line on the consolidated statement of operations. Commissions are not paid with respect to the LLC’s net assets.

(2) As of September 30, 2015, no Class D units had been sold.

(3) Class D units may be subject to an initial sales charge of up to 2.00% of the subscription amount upon investment.

(4) The Class C and Class D units are subject to a wholesaling fee of .35% to the Managing Owner to compensate agents who may facilitate distribution of such units.

(5) Fees are charged as actually incurred.

(9) Financial Highlights

The following financial highlights show the Trust’s financial performance of the Trading units by class for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical beneficial owner’s investment over the entire period, and is not annualized. Total return is calculated based on the aggregate return of the Trust’s Trading units taken as a whole. As of September 30, 2015, no Class D units had been sold and, therefore, the Trust’s financial performance with respect to the class D units is not reflected below.

	Class A						Class B						Class C				Class A						Class B						Class C

The calculations above do not include activity within the Trust’s Non-Trading Accounts.

The net income and expense ratios are computed based upon the weighted average net assets for the Trust for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The amounts are not annualized.

(10) Cash Management Agreement with Affiliate

On October 6, 2010, the Managing Owner retained RJOIM, an SEC registered investment adviser and an affiliate of the Managing Owner, as cash manager. The assets managed by RJOIM are held in segregated accounts in custody at Wells. RJOIM is paid an annual fee, currently 0.20% calculated and accrued daily at a rate equal to 1/360 of the principal balance. As of August 1, 2014, RJOIM agreed to waive all advisory fees previously charged to the Trust, back to January 1, 2014, in response to a request by the Managing Owner for said rebate. This request was made due to the decrease in the size of the Trust’s deposit with RJOIM and the current interest rate environment. The total amount waived as of July 31, 2014, was $3,483. As of September 30, 2015, the Trust’s deposits held by RJOIM consisted of cash of $1.4 million. Since August 1, 2014, RJOIM continues to wiave its advisory fee.

(12) Offsetting

As indicated in Note (1), the Trust’s assets are currently indirectly allocated to each of the Trading Companies. All of the Trading Companies utilize RJO as their clearing broker. Each Trading Company has its own separate clearing agreement with RJO, under which each of the Trading Companies are subject to master netting agreements or similar arrangements that allow RJO to offset any assets of the individual entity by any liabilities of the individual Trading Company, as necessary, if RJO determines that the amount of margin is not appropriate or the Trading Company is not able to perform. Each of the Trading Companies hold significant cash deposits with RJO, which can be and is used by the Trading Companies to settle any obligations due to RJO. The master netting agreements or similar arrangements do not apply to amounts owed to/from different counterparties and they do not apply across different Trading Companies.

For financial reporting purposes, the Trust nets its similar derivative assets and liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Financial Condition. The following tables present the Trust’s derivative assets and liabilities by investment type and by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement, along with the related collateral received or pledged by the Trading Companies (cash on deposit with broker) as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(a) Introduction

R.J. O’Brien Fund Management, LLC, the managing owner of the Trust, (“RJOFM” or the “Managing Owner”) acquired the managing owner interest in the Trust from Refco Commodity Management, Inc. (“RCMI”) on November 30, 2006. The Managing Owner of the Trust was initially formed as an Illinois corporation in November 2006, and became a Delaware limited liability company in July of 2007. The Managing Owner has been registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator, and has been a member in good standing of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) in such capacity, since December 1, 2006. The Managing Owner is registered as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (“CE Act”), and is responsible for administering the business and affairs of the Trust. The Managing Owner is an affiliate of R.J. O’Brien & Associates LLC, the clearing broker for the Trust (“RJO” or the “Clearing Broker”).

·	Short-Term Trading. A strategy that refers to all futures and currency investment strategies with a trading horizon ranging from intraday to less than a month, which seeks to exploit short-term price inefficiencies. This is typically done using technical analysis.

Table of Contents

On January 31, 2015, the Trust entered into the Tenth Amended and Restated Declaration and Agreement of Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) to aggregate comments made through previous amendments to the Ninth Amended and Restated Declaration and Agreement of Trust, as well as to: (i) make certain clarifying edits; (ii) reflect certain updates to the language regarding the fees and expenses of the Trust; and (iii) revise language regarding certain regulatory requirements of the Trust that are no longer applicable. None of the foregoing items are expected to significantly affect the unitholders.

Through 2006, the Trust received $10,319,318 from the prior clearing broker in bankruptcy court and distributed $9,335,669 to unitholders in the manner as described in (a) and (b) below.

(a) Any unitholder who had redeemed their entire interest in the Trust prior to distribution received cash.

(b) Any unitholder who had continued to own units in the Trust received additional units in the Trust at the then net asset value of the Trust.

The unitholders had no rights to request redemptions from the LLC.

Table of Contents

See Item 1: Note (6) for further detail regarding collection and distribution activity related to the assets held at REFCO.

(b) Capital Resources

The Trust’s capital resources fluctuate based upon the purchase and redemption of units and the gains and losses of the Trust’s trading activities. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, no Class A, and no Class B, units were purchased by the Beneficial Owners and, no Class A units were converted to Class B units. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, 6,569 units of Class C units for $500,000, were purchased by Beneficial Owners. The Managing Owner did not purchase any units during this time. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, the Beneficial Owners redeemed a total of 24,916 units for $1,676,731. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, the Beneficial Owners redeemed a total of 18,281 Class A units for $1,151,864 and 66 Class B units for $4,847 and 6,569 Class C units for $520,020. The Managing Owner did not redeem any units during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.

The Trust’s involvement in the futures and forward markets exposes the Trust to both market risk — the risk arising from changes in the market value of the futures and forward contracts held by the Trust — and credit risk — the risk that another party to a contract will fail to perform its obligations according to the terms of the contract. The Trust is exposed to a market risk equal to the value of the futures and forward contracts purchased and theoretically unlimited risk of loss on contracts sold short. The Trading Advisors monitor their respective Trading Company’s trading activities and attempt to control the Trust’s exposure to market risk by, among other things, refining their respective trading strategies, adjusting position sizes of the Trading Company’s futures and forward contracts and re-allocating Trading Company’s assets to different market sectors. As of September 30, 2015, the market sectors where the Trust maintained an investment having the highest exposure were: Energy have a net long value of $42,204, Interest Rates have a net long value of $35,660, Indices having a net long value of $19,449, Currencies having a net long value of $6,577, Metals having a net short value of $3,453, and Agricultural having a net short value of $47,590. The Trust’s primary exposure to credit risk is its exposure to the non-performance of the Trust’s forward currency broker. The forward currency broker generally enters into forward contracts with large, well-capitalized institutions and then enters into a back-to-back contract with the Trust. The Trust also may trade on exchanges that do not have associated clearing houses whose credit supports the obligations of its members and that operate as principals markets, in which case the Trust will be exposed to the credit risk of the other party to such trades.

The Trust’s trading activities involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby changes in the market values of the futures and forward contracts underlying the financial instruments or the Trust’s satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in the statement of financial condition of the Trust.

The amount of assets invested in the Trust generally does not affect its performance, as typically this amount is not a limiting factor on the positions acquired by the Trading Advisors, and the Trust’s expenses are primarily charged as a fixed percentage of its asset base, however large, or by number of investors. To a lesser extent, some expenses are incurred as minimums regardless of the size of the asset base, such as audit and legal fees.

The Trust borrows only to a limited extent and only on a strictly short-term basis in order to finance losses on non-U.S. dollar denominated trading positions pending the conversion of the Trust’s dollar deposits. These borrowings are at a prevailing short-term rate in the relevant currency and have been immaterial to the Trust’s operation to date and are expected to continue to be so.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, the Trust had no credit exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign commodities exchange which was material.

There are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, that would affect, nor any expected material changes, to the Trust’s capital resource arrangements at the present time.

The Trust’s net assets are held in brokerage accounts with RJO. Such assets are used as margin to engage in trading and may be used as margin solely for the Trust’s trading. Except in very unusual circumstances, the Trust should be able to close out any or all of its open trading positions and liquidate any or all of its securities holdings quickly and at market prices. This should permit the Trading Advisors to limit losses as well as reduce market exposure on short notice should their programs indicate reducing market exposure.

Table of Contents

The Trust earns interest on 100% of the Trust’s average daily balances on deposit with RJO during each month at 100% of the average four-week Treasury bill rate for that month in respect of deposits denominated in dollars. For deposits denominated in other currencies, the Trust earns interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR less 100 basis points. For the three month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, RJO had paid or accrued to pay interest to the Trust of $166, and $469, respectively.

Additionally, effective October 6, 2010, the Managing Owner retained RJOIM, an affiliate of the Managing Owner, to serve as a cash manager to the Trust. The Trust’s assets which are managed by the cash manager are held by Wells as custodian. As of September 30, 2015, Wells held approximately $1.4 million of the Trust’s assets. For the three month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the assets held in this account earned $549 and $280 of interest income, respectively.

Most United States commodity exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation in commodity futures contract prices during a single trading day by regulations. These regulations specify what are referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” The daily limits establish the maximum amount the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day’s settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular commodity, no trades may be made at a price beyond the limit. Positions in the commodity could then be taken or liquidated only if traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit during the period for trading on such day. Because the “daily limit” rule only governs price movement for a particular trading day, it does not limit losses. In the past, futures prices have moved the daily limit for numerous consecutive trading days and thereby prevented prompt liquidation of futures positions on one side of the market, subjecting commodity futures traders holding such positions to substantial losses for those days.

It is also possible for an exchange or the CFTC to suspend trading in a particular contract, order immediate settlement of a particular contract, or direct that trading in a particular contract be for liquidation only.

There are no known material trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties at the present time that are reasonably likely to result in the Trust’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way, and there are no material unused sources of liquid assets.

(d) Results of Operations

The Trust’s success depends on the Trading Advisors’ ability to recognize and capitalize on major price movements and other profit opportunities in different sectors of the world economy. Because of the speculative nature of its trading, operational or economic trends have little relevance to the Trust’s results, and its past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results. The Managing Owner believes, however, that there are certain market conditions — for example, markets with major price movements — in which the Trust has a better opportunity of being profitable than in others.

The summaries set forth below outline certain performance factors which may have affected the performance of the Trading Advisors for the periods presented. During this time, the Trust’s assets were allocated to different combinations of Trading Advisors over time. As of September 30, 2015, trading decisions for the Trust have been delegated to six independent Trading Advisors: RCM, PGR, CIM, ROW, TWC and Claughton.

The performance summaries are an outline description of how the Trust performed in the past, and not necessarily any indication of how it will perform in the future. Furthermore, the general causes to which certain trends or market movements are attributed may or may not in fact have caused such trends or movements, as opposed to simply having occurred at about the same time.

Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2015

The Trust posted a loss of $(263,785) or $(2.18) per trading unit for Class A units and a loss of $(2,112) or $(2.15) for Class B units. There were no Class C units held during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 (please see Note (2) and Note (9) in the notes to financial statements for more information with respect to the calculation of net asset value). As of September 30, 2015, Class A units have lost 29.96% since their first issuance in June 1997. Class B units have lost 5.05% since their first issuance in January 2009.

As of September 30, 2015, the Trust’s assets were indirectly allocated to the following Trading Advisors as follows: RCM (16.43%), PGR (18.35%), CIM (22.56%), ROW (14.62%), TWC (4.04%) and Claughton (3.52%), with the remaining percentage allocated to cash.

In July 2015, directionless volatility remained high in global equity and fixed income markets where indices and yields fluctuated in response to developments in China and Greece. In the first half of the month, indices dropped and yields jumped in response to tumbling Chinese equity markets and another acceleration in the Greek bailout drama as voters there favored not to accept creditors’ bailout terms. By mid-month, however, these trends reversed due to a rebound in Chinese equities and the Greek parliament agreeing to its creditors’ bailout plan after all. Elsewhere, moves were more sustainable. In currencies, the U.S. dollar renewed its rally seen in the first quarter of the year following upbeat comments by the Federal Reserve as economic data reinforced expectations of at least one rate hike later this year. In commodities, market direction was also quite clear, i.e. the stronger dollar, higher U.S. interest rate expectations, concerns over weaker Chinese growth, and rising supply sent prices in oil, grains, copper, and especially gold downward.

The main event in August was the People’s Bank of China devaluating its currency, which sent shockwaves through the financial system. The devaluation was the renminbi’s biggest drop in decades raising fears about the condition of the world’s second largest economy and, thus, about global growth itself. The move dominated market action as the VIX (markets’ “fear gauge”) reached levels not seen since the European debt crisis in 2011. Equities tumbled, along with emerging market currencies and commodities, as nervous market participants moved into government bonds and gold. However, in the last few days of the month, markets rebounded forcefully creating the second coordinated market sell-off (rather “buy-in”) for the year on August 27. Equities bounced back, bond yields jumped, and the VIX dropped to long-term average levels as expectations for the Federal Reserve’s first rate hike were pushed back by officials’ dovish comments. Global growth fears also seemed exaggerated after a hefty upward revision of U.S. 2015Q2 GDP growth to an annual rate of 3.7% (from 2.3%). The reversal in crude oil was particularly brutal with oil prices rocketing more than 25% in three successive trading sessions amid vague hints of a change in OPEC’s supply policy.

In September, market sentiment stayed largely gloomy amid global growth concerns. Although volatility indices retreated a bit towards more long-term average levels, the market environment remained volatile and difficult to trade. For example, in the beginning of the month, following weak manufacturing figures out of China and the US, the strong rally in oil prices seen at the end of the previous month reversed sharply. Following the reversal of the reversal, oil prices then continued lower throughout the month. Equities started the month on a positive note, with bond yields rising as well, following strong U.S. employment figures. However, by mid-month, stock markets and bond yields sounded the retreat as the cautious tone of the FOMC latest policy statement seriously undermined confidence among market participants. Towards month-end, the fallout from the VW emission scandal provided another knock to sentiment, as car making stocks on both sides of the Atlantic suffered further steep falls. In currencies, the U.S. dollar appreciated towards month-end, reversing its previous course once again, following an upward revision to U.S. 2015Q2 GDP growth and Federal Reserve boss Janet Yellen indicating that an interest rate rise later this year was still in the cards.

Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2014

The Trust posted a gain of $180,556 or $1.24 per trading unit for Class A units and a gain of $2,368 or $1.74 per trading unit for Class B units for the quarter ending September 30, 2014 (please see Note (2) and Note (9) in the notes to financial statements for more information with respect to the calculation of net asset value). As of September 30, 2014, Class A units have lost 22.79% since their first issuance in June 1997. Class B units have lost 40.64% since their first issuance in January 2009.

As of September 30, 2014, the Trust’s assets were indirectly allocated to the following Trading Advisors as follows: RCM (27.28%), PGR (22.22%), Bleecker Street Capital, LLC (‘Bleecker”) (5.27%), Paskewitz Asset Management (“PAM”) (6.28%) and CIM (33.78%), with the remaining percentage allocated to cash.

Underlying bullish trends in risky assets as well as in fixed income markets continued during the first part of July. However, as the month progressed markets turned more nervous; heightened concerns about the situation in Ukraine following the shooting down of a Malaysian Airlines passenger jet, jitters about potential interest rate hikes following a rise in the U.S. Employers Cost Index and the Standard & Poor’s default downgrade on Argentina after the government missed a deadline for paying interest on $13 billion of restructured bonds all added to anxiety. Equity markets sold off sharply towards month end as volatility came back into the picture with the VIX surging 27% on the very last trading day of the month. In energies, crude oil snapped a three month winning streak slipping below the $100 per barrel mark on bearish U.S. inventory data. In fixed income, the German 10-year bond yield fell to a record low by mid-month; however, yields inched higher towards month end leading U.S. treasury prices to their third monthly loss of the year. In agricultural commodities, corn continued to slide as the U.S. Department of Agriculture in a report predicted that U.S. farmers may harvest the second biggest corn crop ever this year.

The bullish trends in fixed income and equity markets seen during the first half of July resurfaced in August. In fixed income, yields turned lower as soft unemployment data coming out of the U.S. pushed investors’ expectations on coming interest rate hikes forward. Continued tensions between Russia and Ukraine coupled with concerns for European growth prospects also added to upward pressure in bonds. However, equity markets managed to shrug off geopolitical tensions and marched higher, building on what has been a long-lasting bullish trend. In currencies, the U.S. dollar recorded gains against major currencies while in agricultural commodities, Vladimir Putin’s decision to ban imports of agricultural products from countries that have imposed sanctions on Russia had a negative impact on certain contracts, most notably within meats.

Most of last month’s market action was seen in currency and fixed income. The prospect of higher U.S. interest rates, fueled by indications from the Fed that rate hikes are likely to come sooner than the market had anticipated, supported the U.S. dollar which continued to strengthen significantly against other major currencies. The Japanese yen sold off sharply plummeting to a 6-year low against the greenback. In fixed income markets, yields on shorter-dated U.S. government bonds climbed mid-month to the highest levels in more than three years as worries over higher interest rates drove investors to cut holdings. In the commodity sector, U.S. corn prices fell to a 5-year low on higher-than-expected supplies. Wheat futures also fell after the USDA's stockpile estimates topped analysts’ expectations. In metals, gold and silver prices dropped 6% and 12% respectively during the month as a consequence of the rise in the U.S. currency.

Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2015

The Trust posted a loss of $(1,136,424) or $(8.85) per trading unit for Class A units and a loss of $(9,456) or $(9.70) for Class B units. There were no Class C units held during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 (please see Note (2) and Note (9) in the notes to financial statements for more information with respect to the calculation of net asset value). As of June 30, 2015, Class A units have lost 27.29% since their first issuance in June 1997. Class B units have lost 43.25% since their first issuance in January 2009.

As of June 30, 2015, the Trust’s assets were indirectly allocated to the following Trading Advisors as follows: RCM (18.12%), PGR (12.94%), CIM (20.71%), ROW (18.17%), TWC (4.24%) and Claughton (2.80%), with the remaining percentage allocated to cash.

In April, the rally in the US dollar, which had started in 2nd half of 2015, halted and reversed course as expectations of tighter policy by the Federal Reserve had faded amid a series of weaker-than-expected statistics casting doubt over the apparent strength of the US economy. Even though, the Fed said current US economic weakness reflected only “transitory factors” the first rate hike now seems to be postponed until after the summer. The reversal in the dollar was mirrored by the action in fixed income markets, where bond yields jumped towards month-end on signs of progress in Greek debt negotiations and as German consumer prices held above zero for a second successive month igniting premature talk of tapering the ECB’s monthly bond purchases. Most equity markets were up on the month but provided a volatile trading environment as market participants digested increasing and fading Greek debt default worries, new stock market regulations in China, recent US activity data weakness and the Fed’s changing attitude coupled with anxiety about upcoming earnings reports. In commodity markets, crude oil prices posted the strongest monthly gain since 2009 as US production showed signs of slowing and as traders worried over potential supply disruptions in the Middle East.

May was characterized by choppy market conditions as trendiness grinded to a halt. The sell-off, which had started in April, continued well into the first half of May before partially reversing course during the second half. In currencies, the US dollar strengthened again – especially against the Euro – as the ECB signaled a higher pace of its upcoming bond-purchasing program and despite the last FOMC minutes making a June rate hike rather unlikely. The apparent postponement of the Federal Reserve’s first rate hike until after the summer provided a stimulus for global equities although the Fed’s announced “data dependency” of its monetary policy going forward, mixed messages on the state of the ongoing Greek debt negotiations, and Chinese “bubble” fears significantly added to uncertainty. In fixed income, after last month’s major sell-off, bond prices remained unsteady and did not return to their long-term bullish trend as forecast-beating inflation figures were balanced by weaker-than-expected economic data. In commodities, the resurgent dollar helped drive prices down, especially in precious metals, whereas crude remained unchanged on a month-to-month basis despite a volatile trading session.

In June, market volatility stayed elevated. In early June, the sell-off in bonds continued as a robust US jobs report reassured market participants that the Federal Reserve would start raising rates later this year. In currencies, however, renewed US dollar strength was short-lived. The greenback retreated against most of its major counterparts following a more dovish FOMC statement at mid-month. In equities, the Fed and Greece vied for investors’ attention, which created a see-saw market environment. However, at the end of June, Athens’ call for a public referendum on the terms of its creditors’ final bailout offer pulled the rug from under global stock markets as the country is now edging ever closer to exiting the Eurozone in an unorderly fashion. In commodities, corn and soybean markets surged towards month-end after a pair of government reports suggested a tighter supply situation going forward.

Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2014

The Trust posted a loss of $(171,100) or $(0.89) per trading unit for Class A units and a loss of $(2,249) or $(0.64) per trading unit for Class B units for the quarter ending June 30, 2014 (please see Note (2) and Note (9) in the notes to financial statements for more information with respect to the calculation of net asset value). As of June 30, 2014, Class A units have lost 24.32% since their first issuance in June 1997. Class B units have lost 42.10% since their first issuance in January 2009.

As of June 30, 2014, the Trust’s assets were allocated to the following Trading Advisors as follows: RCM (18.50%), PGR (25.66%), Bleecker (5.14%), PAM (5.85%) and CIM (30.05%), with the remaining percentage allocated to cash.

The month of April was characterized by continued investor anxiety over the escalating tensions in Ukraine which translated into highly choppy market action. Despite strong warnings from the European leaders and US president Barack Obama hinting of further significant sanctions against the country, the violence reportedly continued adding pressure to financial markets early in the month. Standard & Poor’s also cut Russia’s credit rating to one notch above junk, citing large capital outflows in the first quarter. Having experienced selling pressure in the first half of the month, equities recovered towards month-end with the S&P 500 ending just shy of record levels. In the energy sector, the geopolitical tensions pushed prices higher early in the month but turned lower as the month progressed. Fixed income markets experienced falling yields and higher prices, especially in Europe where the central bank hinted of potential large scale asset purchases in order to battle low inflation. In commodity markets, the crop sector experienced higher prices fueled by reports showing increased international demand for US crops.

In May, despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, financial markets took little notice with US equity markets, as measured by the S&P 500 ending at all-time-high levels. Stocks were primarily supported by dovish language in the latest FOMC meeting minutes. Fixed income markets experienced higher prices and falling yields on expectations for a continued low rate environment, especially in Europe where the European Central Bank (“ECB”) is now expected to reduce its target rate further next month. Thus, in currencies, the euro reversed its long-term bullish trend against the greenback with weak inflation numbers coming out of the Eurozone supporting the view of a quantitative easing approach from the ECB. In commodity markets, supported by the Ukraine conflict, the price of oil continued to march higher. Towards the end of the month, gold drifted down to a 3-month low amid the broadly positive mood in equity markets and little inflation fears.

Central bank action and language was in the spotlight in June. In the US, Federal Reserve chairman Janet Yellen stated that the Federal Reserve is now expecting the US economy to expand at a slower-than-previously-expected rate. At the same time, the ECB took measures to come to terms with a potentially deflationary environment by lowering key interest rates. In the UK, the Bank of England surprised the market by hinting that interest rates might rise sooner than anticipated. The continued dovish Federal Reserve language sent US equity markets to record highs, while fixed income markets were on the rise in Europe. In response to the Bank of England announcement, the British pound surged to a 5-year high against the US dollar. In commodity markets, recent bearish trends in precious metals reversed sharply on geopolitical tensions, this time in Iraq. For the same reason, the price of crude oil continued higher on the back of fears for supply disruptions, thereby supporting the existing bullish trend.

Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2015

The Trust posted a gain of $117,185 or $0.84 per trading unit for Class A units, a gain of $1,358 or $1.34 for Class B units, and a gain of $20,020 or $3.05 per trading unit for Class C units for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 (please see Note (2) and Note (9) in the notes to financial statements for more information with respect to the calculation of net asset value). As of March 31, 2015, Class A units have lost 16.47% since their first issuance in June 1997. Class B units have lost 35.14% since their first issuance in January 2009.

As of March 31, 2015, the Trust’s assets were indirectly allocated to the following Trading Advisors as follows: RCM (15.14%), PGR (23.47%), CIM (36.00%) and ROW (21.21%), with the remaining percentage allocated to cash.

Market action in January 2015 was dominated by central bank activity. On January 15th, the Swiss National Bank’s surprising decision to remove its currency peg against the Euro sent shock waves through global markets, with at least two big retail FX brokerages going bust overnight. A week later, in a dramatic change of policy, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) finally announced its own long-awaited quantitative easing program, which turned out to be much bigger-than-expected, further hurting the Euro but providing support for equity markets. Yet another week later, this was followed by rather dovish FOMC statements indicating patience on raising rates amid weaker economic conditions in the U.S., which partly reversed the previous moves in stocks and FX. The Greek leftist party, Syriza, winning the election in Greece further added to overall uncertainty towards month-end. Thus, whereas the currency and, in particular, equity markets provided managers with choppy trading conditions, global bond markets continued to rally amid the gloomy mood providing managers with profitable trading conditions. In commodity markets, with no production cuts insight and weaker global demand in general, oil continued on its downward path dropping below U.S. $50 per barrel.

February started out quite dramatic as February 3rd was the first “coordinated market sell-off” this year with longer term trends reversing forcefully across many different markets. In commodities, oil prices soared on producers’ spending cuts announcements reversing the bearish trend which had been running since July 2014. Easing tensions over Greece and Ukraine, as well as further central bank policy accommodation, boosted stocks but lead to sharp falls in government bonds prices. In currencies, the bullish trend in the U.S. dollar reversed as well, but, given the relative hawkishness of the Fed, the single currency soon stabilized trading in a tight range against other majors for the rest of the month. Whereas the sell-offs in energy and fixed income markets weighed on performance, the rebound in equities provided well-needed balancing profits. Throughout the month, equity markets rose notably on the back of easing geopolitical tensions and because overall economic momentum remained largely intact. While energy markets stayed choppy, European bond yields hit record lows towards month-end ahead of the imminent start of the ECB’s QE program, thus partially reducing losses seen in the first half of the month.

In March, hawkish expectations of the FOMC meeting were in the spotlight in the first half of the month. Eventually, the Fed dropped the word ‘patience’ from the FOMC statement but indicated that they would not be impatient raising interest rates. As the projected fund rate for the year-end, and for the next year, came in much lower than what had been projected by the Fed previously, it sent the dollar lower after reaching 12-year high against its major pairs. In commodities, oil prices had first plunged to multi-year low then reversed back sharply on U.S. dollar weakness and tensions in Yemen. At month-end when the U.S. dollar was on the rise again, energy commodities were sliding towards previous lows. Equities were mixed in March, in the U.S., macro data trailed expectations pushing stocks lower, whereas ECB’s bond purchases along with improving economic environment boosted equities in Europe to new all-time highs. Dovish stance from all major central banks around the world has kept long-term interest rates low and driven yields to new all-time lows in major euro economies.

Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2014

The Trust posted a loss of $(1,593,513) or $(8.44) per trading unit for Class A units and a loss of $(36,798) or $(8.97) per trading unit for Class B units for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 (please see Note (2) and Note (9) in the notes to financial statements for more information with respect to the calculation of net asset value). As of March 31, 2014, Class A units have lost 48.90% since their first issuance in June 1997. Class B units have lost 41.56% since their first issuance in January 2009.

As of March 31, 2014, the Trust’s assets were allocated to the following Trading Advisors as follows: RCM (20.31%), PGR (20.62%), Bleecker (16.22%) and PAM (9.16%), with the remaining percentage allocated to cash.

A sudden pick-up in risk aversion brought about by speculation about a Chinese credit crisis and escalating political tensions in Ukraine, Thailand and Turkey was the major theme in January. As a result, equity markets sold off broadly, particularly in emerging markets, thereby reversing the rally experienced in late December. Investors instead bought into the safe haven appeal of bonds and gold sending prices higher in related securities. In the currency sector, the U.S. dollar reversed its long term bullish trend against the Japanese yen while the Canadian dollar hit a four-year low amid speculation that slowing economic growth will push the Bank of Canada closer to considering lowering interest rates. In energy markets, natural gas surged to a four-year high as forecasts for tumbling stockpiles during a frigid winter prompted the strongest rally in 19 months.

The month of February started off with yet another market sell off as a disappointing ISM Manufacturing Report pushed stocks down sharply. However, equity markets recovered strongly with global indices ending the month shy of historical record high levels amid confidence about the economy being strong enough to withstand future cuts to monetary stimulus. Weather-related soft data coming out of the U.S. and escalating political tensions in Ukraine were not enough to dampen the optimism in the equity sector. Most of the price action was otherwise seen in soft commodities where the price of soybeans reacted positively to the hot and dry weather in the world’s top exporting countries Argentina and Brazil.

The equity rally seen in late February was – once again – reversed during the first half of the March, this time around, on escalating tensions in Ukraine where Russia reclaimed Crimea despite threats of international sanctions. Equity indices were also weighed down by the fact that China experienced its first domestic corporate bond default in recent history while at the same time presenting data that pointed to a continued decline in manufacturing growth. Furthermore, the accompanying statements from Janet Yellen’s first meeting as new FOMC chairman, where she said that the Fed’s stimulus program would most likely be finished by the fall and that a rate hike could come as soon as early 2015, added to investor anxiety. As a result, equity markets remained weak throughout the first half of March while bond yields and the U.S. dollar edged higher following FOMC. However, in the latter part of the month, risky assets were again on the rise on easing concerns for Russia and supported by strong economic data. Elsewhere, soft commodities such as meat and soybeans rallied throughout the month as supplies remain tight due to droughts, higher feed costs, and lower profitability for farmers and high demand especially from emerging markets.

(e) Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Trust does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements (as defined in Regulation S-K 303(a)(4)(ii)) that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
