Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Ceres Managed Futures LLC, the general partner of the Registrant (the “General Partner”), and the Registrant have entered into a management agreement dated as of January 1, 2017 (the “Management Agreement”) with AE Capital PTY Limited, a Victoria, Australia limited proprietary company (“AE Capital”), pursuant to which AE Capital shall manage the portion of the Registrant’s assets allocated to it.
The General Partner has initially selected AE Capital’s AE Systematic FX Fund Program, a proprietary, systematic strategy, to manage the Registrant’s assets allocated to AE Capital.  The AE Systematic FX Fund Program is a systematic strategy that dynamically adapts to the fundamental themes quantified to be driving markets. New themes are identified by AE Capital primarily through fundamental research. Once a new theme is scientifically tested and deemed eligible it is incorporated into the theme adapting system framework. Capital is only allocated to a theme if the theme adapting system determines that the theme carries statistically significant information and improves the overall portfolio. Risk is minimized through a proprietary portfolio construction technique that diversifies the portfolio in terms of the underlying currency exposures, trade time horizons and fundamental views.
Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Registrant pays AE Capital a monthly management fee equal to 1.5% per year of the month-end net assets allocated to AE Capital.  AE Capital also receives a quarterly incentive fee equal to 20% of new trading profits (as defined in the Management Agreement) earned by AE Capital in each calendar quarter.
The Management Agreement expires on December 1, 2017.  If it is not terminated as of that date, it shall automatically renew for an additional one-year period and shall continue to renew for additional one-year periods until it is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement.
The Management Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
