Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC

Core Macro Portfolio

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

1. Organization and Business
 
The Core Macro Portfolio (the “Fund”) is a series of Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC (“GAIF II”), a Delaware Series Limited Liability Company established through an amendment to the certificate of formation, effective March 28, 2013. Prior to March 28, 2013, GAIF II was organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company which was formed on May 16, 2006 and commenced operations on August 1, 2006. GAIF II is registered as a commodity pool and as such is subject to the oversight and jurisdiction of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”).
 
As a Series Limited Liability Company each series is legally segregated, and the assets associated with each series are held separately and accounted for in separate and distinct records from the assets of any other series of GAIF II. The debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series are enforceable against the assets of such series only, and not against the assets of GAIF II generally or any other series thereof. Further, none of the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to GAIF II are enforceable against the assets of any other series.

The Fund offers members Class 0 and Class 2 Units, and effective March 19, 2024, formed Class 3-A Units and Class 3-B Units (collectively the “Units”). Class 0 Units and Class 2 Units are currently issued. As of March 31, 2024, there were no subscriptions or redemptions of Class 3-A Units and Class 3-B Units. Graham Alternative Investment Ltd. (“GAI”) is a British Virgin Islands business company which was formed on June 1, 2006 and commenced operations on August 1, 2006. The Fund invests all of its assets dedicated to trading in Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC (“GAIT”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company which was formed on May 18, 2006 and commenced operations on August 1, 2006, through an investment in GAI’s Core Macro Portfolio. GAIT invests in various master trading vehicles (“Master Funds”) and Graham Cash Assets LLC (“Cash Assets”), all of which are managed by Graham Capital Management, L.P. (the “Advisor” or “Manager”). The Fund is the sole owner of GAI’s Core Macro Portfolio and GAI’s Core Macro Portfolio invests all of its assets into GAIT. The Manager is the director of GAI and the sole investment advisor of GAI, GAIT and the Fund. The Manager is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator and Commodity Trading Advisor with the CFTC and is a member of the National Futures Association. The Manager is also registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser. The Fund’s Units are registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through professionally managed trading in both U.S. and foreign markets primarily in futures contracts, forwards contracts, spot currency contracts, and associated derivative instruments, such as options and swaps, through its investment in GAIT, which in turn invests in various Master Funds. The Master Funds seek to profit from opportunities in the global financial markets, including interest rate futures, foreign exchange, global stock indices and energy, metals and agricultural futures, as professionally managed multi-strategy investment vehicles. The Fund may also trade futures on virtual currencies. Each of the investment programs consists of multiple trading strategies of the Manager, which the Manager has combined in an effort to diversify the Fund’s investment exposure and to make the Fund’s performance returns less volatile and more consistently profitable.
 
SEI Global Services, Inc. (“SEI”) is the Fund’s independent administrator and transfer agent. SEI is responsible for certain matters pertaining to the administration of the Fund.
 
The Fund will terminate on December 31, 2050 or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as outlined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) of the Fund.

See attached financial statements of Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC.

Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC

Core Macro Portfolio

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. Organization and Business (continued)

The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of GAIT; therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the attached financial statements of GAIT, including the condensed schedules of investments.
 
Duties of the Manager
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement, the Manager has complete and exclusive responsibility for managing and administering the affairs of the Fund and for directing the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund, GAI, and GAIT.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. The Fund is an investment company and applies specialized accounting guidance as outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The Fund owns 100% of GAI’s Core Macro Portfolio and as such these consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Fund and GAI’s Core Macro Portfolio. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Creditors of the Fund have recourse to all assets of the Fund for amounts due to them, while creditors of GAI would have recourse only to the assets of GAI.
 

Investment in Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC
 
The Fund records its investment in GAIT at fair value based upon the Fund’s proportionate share of GAIT’s reported net asset value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In determining its net asset value, GAIT records its investments in the Master Funds and Cash Assets at fair value based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of the Master Funds’ and Cash Assets’ reported net asset value. The Fund records its proportionate share of GAIT’s investment income and loss, expenses, fees, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on a monthly basis and includes them in the consolidated statements of operations. Purchases and sales of units in GAIT are recorded on a trade date basis. The accounting policies of GAIT are described in its attached financial statements.
 
GAIT charges its investors, including the Fund, an advisory fee, sponsor fee, and incentive allocation, all of which are described in detail in Note 4. The Fund does not charge any additional fees; however, each investor in the Fund indirectly bears a portion of the advisory fee, sponsor fee, and incentive allocation charged by GAIT.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Fund owned 52.75% and 52.41%, respectively of GAIT.

See attached financial statements of Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC.

Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC

Core Macro Portfolio

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Fair Value
 
The fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Fund and GAIT, which qualify as financial instruments under U.S. GAAP, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Changes in these carrying amounts are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Fund follows U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. The Fund reports the fair value of its investment related assets and liabilities in accordance with the hierarchy established under U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP uses a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the activeness of the market and the transparency and independence of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy categorizes asset and liability positions into one of three levels, as summarized below, based on the inputs and assumptions used in deriving fair value.
 

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted closing or settlement prices for such assets or liabilities as published by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities obtained from independent brokers and/or market makers in each security.

Level 3 inputs are those which are considered unobservable and are significant in arriving at fair value.

The Fund’s investment in GAIT has been valued at net asset value using the practical expedient. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, this investment is excluded from categorization in the fair value hierarchy. There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities held at any point during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023 by the Fund, GAI, GAIT, the Master Funds or Cash Assets.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Fund classifies all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase as cash equivalents on the statements of financial condition. Cash deposited with a bank is subject to credit risk. In the event of the bank’s insolvency, recovery of the Fund’s cash would be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded by such deposit, which could be substantially less than the amount deposited. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Fund held $164,000 and $115,000, respectively, in cash and held no cash equivalents.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Master Funds, GAIT, Cash Assets, GAI, and the Fund enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. Such contracts may include those by Cash Assets and the Master Funds with their brokers and trading counterparties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses with respect to such indemnifications and considers the risk of loss to be remote. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no accruals have been recorded by the Fund for indemnifications.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
3. Capital Accounts
 
The Fund offers members Class 0 and Class 2 Units, and effective March 19, 2024, formed Class 3-A Units and Class 3-B Units. Class 0 Units and Class 2 Units are currently issued. As of March 31, 2024, there were no subscriptions or redemptions of Class 3-A Units and Class 3-B Units. The Fund may issue additional Classes in the future subject to different fees, expenses, or other terms, or invest in other investment programs or combinations of investment programs managed by the Manager.
 
A separate capital account is maintained for each member with respect to each member’s Class of Units. The initial balance of each Member’s capital account is equal to the initial subscription to the Fund by such member with respect to the Class to which such capital account relates. Each Member’s capital account is increased by any additional subscription and decreased by any redemption by such member of Units of such Class to which the capital account relates. All income and expenses of the Fund are allocated among the Members’ Capital accounts in proportion to the balance that each capital account bears to the balance of all capital as of the beginning of such fiscal period.
 
Subscriptions
 
Units may be purchased at a price equal to the Net Asset Value per Unit of the relevant Class as of the immediately preceding Valuation Day, as defined in the LLC Agreement. The minimum initial subscription from each investor in each Class is $10,000. Members may subscribe for additional Units in a minimum amount of not less than $5,000. Any initial or additional cash received prior to period end or on period end, if any, for Fund shares related to the subsequent period is considered a subscription received in advance on the period end date. The new subscription does not receive an allocation of income or expense from the Fund and is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Financial Condition as subscriptions received in advance.
 
Units are available for subscription as of the first business day of each month upon written notice of at least three business days prior to the last business day of the preceding month.
 
Redemption of Units
 
Units are not subject to any minimum holding period. Members may redeem Units at the Net Asset Value thereof as of each Valuation Day, as defined in the LLC Agreement, upon not less than three business days’ prior written notice to the administrator. A partial redemption request for an amount less than $10,000 will not be accepted, nor will a redemption request be accepted to the extent that it would result in an investor owning less than $10,000. The redemption proceeds will normally be remitted within 15 business days after the Valuation Day, without interest for the period from the Valuation Day to the payment date. Redemptions paid after the end of a period, based upon end-of-period share values, if any, are reflected as redemptions payable on the Statement of Financial Condition.
 
4. Fees and Related Party Transactions
 
Advisory Fees
 
Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT paid the Manager an advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”) at an aggregate annual rate of 1.50% of the Members’ Capital of such Class. Class 3-A and Class 3-B have an advisory fee at an aggregate annual rate of 1.50% and 2.00% of the Members’ Capital of such Class, respectively. The Advisory Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month and any other date the Manager may permit, in its sole and absolute discretion, as of which any subscription or redemption is affected with respect to Units of such Class during the month. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Advisory Fees allocated to the Fund by Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT totaled $132,311 and $120,223, respectively.

4. Fees and Related Party Transactions (continued)

Sponsor Fees
 
Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT paid the Manager a sponsor fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) at an annual rate of the Members’ Capital specified in the table below. Class 3-A and Class 3-B of GAIT have no sponsor fee. The Sponsor Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month in the same manner as the Advisory Fee. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Sponsor Fees allocated to the Fund by Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT totaled $65,440 and $61,844, respectively.
 
Class 0
Class 2
0.50%
1.25%
 
Incentive Allocation
 
At the end of each calendar quarter, Graham Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Manager, will receive a special allocation of net profits (the “Incentive Allocation”) in an amount equal to 20% of the New High Net Trading Profits of each Class of GAIT, as defined in the LLC Agreement. The Incentive Allocation is also accrued and allocable on the date of redemption with respect to any Units that are redeemed prior to the end of a calendar quarter. Additionally, any loss carryforward attributable to any class of GAIT shall be proportionately reduced, effective as of the date of any redemption of any Units of such class, by multiplying the loss carryforward by the ratio that the amount of Members’ Capital redeemed from such class bears to the Members’ Capital of such class immediately prior to such redemption. The loss carryforward of a class must be recouped before any subsequent Incentive Allocation can be made to Graham Capital LLC. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Incentive Allocation of $171,726 was allocated to the Fund by GAIT. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was an incentive allocation reversal in the amount of $(430) that was allocated to the Fund.
 
Any portion of any of the above fees, including the Incentive Allocation, may be paid by the Manager to third parties as compensation for selling activities in connection with the Fund.
 
Administrator’s Fee

Operating Expenses

In accordance with the LLC Agreement dated May 2, 2022, GAIT shall pay, or reimburse the Manager, for expenses arising in connection with the Fund’s investments, operations, and business (“operating expenses”). For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, GAIT reimbursed the Manager for operating expenses which were comprised of market data and technology costs associated with its assets allocated to the various Master Funds. The total operating expenses allocated to the Fund by GAIT for the three months ended  March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $5,569 and $5,406, respectively.

5. Income Taxes
 
No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as members are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of the Fund’s income and expenses for income tax purposes.
 
U.S. GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as the U.S. for Federal tax purposes, Connecticut for state tax purposes and various international jurisdictions. The Manager has evaluated the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years under the respective statutes of limitations (generally three years in the U.S. but varying in non-U.S. jurisdictions) and has concluded that there are no significant tax positions requiring recognition, measurement, or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Manager is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will change materially in the next twelve months. Tax years which are considered open by the relevant jurisdiction are subject to potential examination. Any assessment for interest or penalties on taxes related to uncertain tax positions, when present, would be included in interest and penalties on tax on the consolidated statements of operations. No such interest and/or penalties were assessed to the Fund for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
 
6. Risk Factors
 
Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect the Fund’s operations. The current global financial market situation, as well as various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Such impacts may affect the financial markets in which the Fund operates.

Total return is calculated for Class 0 and Class 2 Units taken as a whole. Total return is calculated as the change in total Members’ Capital adjusted for subscriptions or redemptions during the period. An individual member’s return may vary from these returns based on the timing of capital transactions and the applicability of Advisory Fees, Sponsor Fees, Administrator’s Fee, and the Incentive Allocation. The net investment (loss) income and total expense ratios (including Incentive Allocation) are calculated for Class 0 and Class 2 Units taken as a whole and include net amounts allocated from GAIT. The computation of such ratios is based on the amount of net investment (loss) income, expenses, and Incentive Allocation. Net investment (loss) income and total expense ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of Members’ Capital for Class 0 and Class 2 Units of the Fund for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and are not annualized.

Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

1. Organization and Business
 
Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC (“GAIT”) was formed on May 18, 2006, commenced operations on August 1, 2006 and is organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company. Graham Capital Management, L.P. (the “Manager”) is the Manager and the sole investment advisor. The Manager is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator and Commodity Trading Advisor with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and is a member of the National Futures Association. The Manager is also registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser. GAIT is a commodity pool, and as such is subject to the oversight and jurisdiction of the CFTC.
 
The investment objective of GAIT is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through professionally managed trading through its investment in various master trading vehicles (“Master Funds”). As more fully described in Notes 2 and 3, these Master Funds invest in a broad range of derivative instruments such as currency forward and futures contracts; bond, interest rate, and index futures contracts; commodity forward and futures contracts, and options and swaps thereon traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges, as well as over-the-counter (“OTC”).
 
Graham Alternative Investment Fund I LLC Core Macro Portfolio and Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC Core Macro Portfolio (through its investment in Graham Alternative Investment Ltd.) are the primary investors of GAIT.
 
SEI Global Services, Inc. (“SEI”) is GAIT’s independent administrator and transfer agent. SEI is responsible for certain matters pertaining to the administration of GAIT.
 
GAIT will terminate on December 31, 2050 or at an earlier date if certain conditions occur as outlined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”).
 
Duties of the Manager
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement, the Manager has complete and exclusive responsibility for managing and administering the affairs of GAIT and for directing the investment and reinvestment of the assets of GAIT.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. GAIT is an investment company and applies specialized accounting guidance as outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Investments in Master Funds
 
GAIT invests in various Master Funds which are managed by the Manager. These investments are valued in the accompanying statements of financial condition at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of the Master Funds’ reported net asset values. Gains and losses are allocated monthly by each Master Fund to GAIT based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of the net asset value of each Master Fund and are included in the statements of operations and incentive allocation.

Graham Alternative Investment Trading LLC

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Due from/to Brokers
 
Due from/to brokers on the Master Funds’ financial statements primarily consist of cash balances carried as margin deposits with clearing brokers for the purpose of trading in futures contracts, foreign currency contracts and other derivative financial instruments and securities, and receivables/payables for unsettled transactions. Substantially all of the Master Funds’ cash and investments are held as collateral by its brokers to secure derivative instruments and securities.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
All positions in financial instruments are recorded on the trade date at fair value. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on open derivative financial instruments is included in the Master Funds’ statements of financial condition as the difference between the original purchase price and the current market value at year end. Any change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation from the preceding period is reported in the Master Funds’ statements of operations. Interest income and expense are recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are net of applicable withholding taxes. All other expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are calculated based on the specific identification method.
 
Brokerage Commissions and Fees
 
Brokerage commissions and fees on the Master Funds’ financial statements represent all brokerage commissions and other fees incurred in connection with the Master Funds’ trading activity and are recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are calculated using daily exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date. The Master Funds do not isolate the portion of results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and cash from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of investments held. The Master Funds’ currency translation gains and losses are included in the statements of operations and incentive allocation within net realized gain and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation on investments.
 
Fair Value
 
The fair value of GAIT’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under U.S. GAAP, approximates the carrying amounts presented in the statements of financial condition. Changes in these carrying amounts are included in the statements of operations and incentive allocation.
 
GAIT follows U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. GAIT reports the fair value of its investment related assets and liabilities in accordance with the hierarchy established under U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP uses a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the activeness of the market and the transparency and independence of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

Fair Value (continued)
 
The fair value hierarchy categorizes asset and liability positions into one of three levels, as summarized below, based on the inputs and assumptions used in deriving fair value.
 

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted closing or settlement prices for such assets or liabilities as published by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities obtained from independent brokers and/or market makers in each security.

Level 3 inputs are those which are considered unobservable and are significant in arriving at fair value.
 
GAIT’s investments in the Master Funds and Graham Cash Assets LLC (“Cash Assets”) have been valued at net asset value using the practical expedient. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, these investments are excluded from categorization in the fair value hierarchy. GAIT’s investments in the Master Funds and Cash Assets are discussed in Notes 3 and 4. There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities held at any point during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023 by GAIT, the Master Funds, or Cash Assets.
 
Derivative Instruments
 
In the normal course of business, the Master Funds utilize derivative financial instruments in connection with their trading activities. Derivative instruments derive their value from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Investments in derivative financial instruments are subject to additional risks that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The Master Funds’ derivative financial instruments are classified by the following primary underlying risks: interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity price, and equity price risks. These risks can be in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition. In addition, the Master Funds are also subject to additional counterparty risk should their counterparties fail to meet the terms of their contracts. Management of counterparty risk involves a number of considerations, such as the financial profile of the counterparty, specific terms and duration of the contractual agreement, and the value of collateral held, if any. The Master Funds have established initial credit approval, credit limits, and collateral requirements and may reduce their exposure to any counterparties they deem necessary. Trading in non-U.S. dollar denominated derivative instruments may subject the value of, and gains and losses associated with, such contracts to additional risks related to adverse changes in the applicable exchange rates.
 
Unrealized appreciation and depreciation from derivative financial instruments are recorded based on changes in their fair value. Realized gains and losses are recorded when the positions are closed. All unrealized and realized gains and losses related to derivative financial instruments are included in net realized gain and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation on investments in the Master Funds’ statements of operations.
 
Futures Contracts
 
The Master Funds use futures contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in the value of equities, commodities, interest rates, bonds, and foreign currencies. Futures contracts are valued based upon the closing price as of the valuation date established by the primary exchange upon which they are traded.

Derivative Instruments (continued)
 
Futures Contracts (continued)
 
A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset or cash settlement based on the value of an asset on a specified date. The purchase and sale of futures contracts are executed on an exchange which requires margin deposits with a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”). Subsequent payments are made or received by the Master Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. These changes in valuation are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation and depreciation by the Master Funds. Relative to over-the-counter derivative financial instruments, futures contracts provide reduced counterparty risk to the Master Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchanges’ clearing house guarantees the futures against default. However, some non-U.S. exchanges are “principals’ markets” in which no common clearing facility exists, and the Master Funds may look only to the clearing broker for performance of the contract. The U.S. Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all funds received from such FCM’s customers in respect of regulated futures transactions. If the FCM were not to do so to the full extent required by law, the assets of the Master Funds might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the FCM. In that case, the Master Funds would be limited to potentially recovering only a pro-rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the FCM’s combined customer accounts, even though certain property specifically traceable to the Master Funds was held by the FCM. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of an exchange or an affiliated clearing house, the Master Funds might experience a loss of funds deposited through its FCM as margin with such exchange or affiliated clearing house, the loss of unrealized profits on its open positions, and the loss of funds owed to it as realized profits on closed positions.
 
Forward Contracts
 
The Master Funds enter into foreign currency forward contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in exchange rates. Forward currency transactions are contracts or agreements for delivery of specific currencies or the cash equivalent value at a specified future date and an agreed upon price. Forward contracts are not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house and therefore the risks include the inability of counterparties to meet their obligations under the terms of the contracts as well as the risks associated with movements in fair value.
 
All forward contracts are valued based upon a forward curve constructed using independently quoted forward points. Changes in fair value of each forward contract are recognized as unrealized appreciation and depreciation.

Swap Contracts
 
The Master Funds may enter into various swap contracts in an attempt to take advantage of changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and asset values. Exchange cleared swap contracts are cleared on an exchange which requires margin deposits with a Central Clearing Counterparty (“CCP”). Subsequent payments are made or received by the Master Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. These changes in valuation are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation by the Master Funds. The Master Funds records realized gains or losses when a swap contract is terminated. Relative to OTC interest rate swap contracts, exchange cleared interest rate swap contracts provide reduced counterparty risk since they are exchange-cleared, and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees against default. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a CCP to segregate all funds received from such CCP’s customers in respect of exchange cleared interest rate swaps. If the CCP were not to do so to the full extent required by law, the assets of the Master Funds might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the CCP. In that case, the Master Funds would be limited to recovering only a pro-rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the CCP’s combined customer accounts, even though certain property specifically traceable to the Master Funds is held by the CCP. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of an exchange or an affiliated clearing house, the Master Funds could experience a loss of funds deposited through its CCP as margin with such exchange or affiliated clearing house, the loss of unrealized profits on its open positions, and the loss of funds owed to it as realized profits on closed positions. All funds deposited with both U.S. and non-U.S. CCPs are included in due from brokers on the statement of financial condition of the Master Funds. OTC swap contracts are not guaranteed by an exchange or an affiliated clearing house or regulated by any U.S. or foreign government authorities. Failure of a counterparty to meet its obligation under the terms of the swap contract could result in the loss of any unrealized appreciation on open positions. It may not be possible to dispose of or close out a swap position without the consent of the counterparty, and the Master Funds may not be able to enter into an offsetting contract in order to cover its risk.
 
An interest rate swap contract is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified rates for a specified notional amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to another. Interest rate swap positions are generally valued as the present value of the net future cash flows as estimated by the Advisor using a discount curve constructed from independently obtained future interest rate assumptions. Interest is calculated and accrued throughout the life of each swap and is included in interest receivable and interest payable on the Master Funds’ statements of financial condition. Payments received at the end of each reset period are recorded against such accruals.
 
A total return swap contract is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange cash flows calculated by reference to changes in specified prices for a specified notional amount of the underlying assets. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to another. Total return swaps are generally valued based upon the value of the underlying instruments and terms of the contract as determined by the primary exchange on which they are traded.

Options

The Master Funds may buy and sell covered and uncovered exchange-traded and over-the-counter options on futures, foreign currencies, commodities, interest rates and equities to take advantage of the price movements of the financial instrument underlying the option or to hedge positions in the underlying assets. Option contracts give one party the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a limited time or on a specified date, a financial instrument, commodity, or currency at a contracted price. Options may also be settled in cash, based on differentials between specified indices or prices.
 
When purchasing options, the Master Funds are exposed to counterparty risk to the extent that a seller of an over-the-counter option does not meet its obligations under the terms of the option contract. The maximum risk of loss to the Master Funds is the unrealized appreciation of the contracts and the premiums paid to purchase its open option contracts. Relative to over-the-counter options, exchange-traded options provide reduced counterparty risk to the Master Funds since the exchanges’ clearinghouse guarantees the option against default.
 
Selling uncovered options may subject the Master Funds to unlimited risk of loss. As the writer of an option, the Master Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying instrument.
 
Exchange-traded options are valued based upon the settlement prices published as of the valuation date by the principal exchange upon which they are traded. In the absence of an exchange published settlement price, the option will be valued using the last reported sales price reported on the exchange for the valuation date. Over-the-counter options and exchange-traded options with no reported sales price on the valuation date will generally be valued at the average of the last reported bid and offer quotes from independent brokers or from the exchange, respectively.
 
Credit Risk Related Contingent Features
 
OTC derivative instruments are subject to ISDA Master Agreements which generally require among other things, that the Master Funds maintain a predetermined level of net assets or rate of return and provide limits with respect to any decline in value over 1-month, 3-month and 12-month periods. If the Master Funds were to violate such provisions, the counterparty to these instruments could demand liquidation of the outstanding positions. There were no events that occurred throughout the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 which caused any counterparty to demand liquidation of any outstanding positions. Graham K4D Trading Ltd. had derivative instruments subject to credit risk related contingent features in a net liability position in the amount of $0 and $8,339,776 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Graham Commodity Strategies LLC had derivative instruments subject to credit risk related contingent features in a net liability position in the amount of $3,504 and $0 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Graham Derivatives Strategies LLC had derivative instruments subject to credit risk related contingent features in a net liability position of $0 and $4,589 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The table also displays the fair value of derivative contracts held by Graham Commodity Strategies LLC at March 31, 2024 categorized by primary underlying risk. The fair value of derivative contracts is included in derivative financial instruments on the statements of financial condition. Derivatives denominated in foreign currencies have been converted to U.S. dollars. Derivative asset and derivative liability balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty netting. The Master Funds trade derivative instruments on a leveraged basis. Due to the low margin deposits normally required for trading these derivative financial instruments, the gross notional exposure as displayed in the tables below may exceed the net asset value of the Master Funds by a significant amount. As a result, a relatively small price movement in an underlying derivative financial instrument may result in immediate and substantial effect on the net income and net asset value of the Master Funds and GAIT.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (continued)
3. Investments in Master Funds (continued)
 
When multiple derivative contracts are held with the same counterparty, the Master Funds will net the contracts in an asset position with the contracts in a liability position when covered by a master netting agreement or similar arrangements, for presentation in the statements of financial condition. The table below displays the amounts at March 31, 2024 by which the fair values of both derivative assets and derivative liabilities were reduced within the Master Funds’ statements of financial condition as a result of this netting. Gross amounts below correspond to the total derivative asset and derivative liability balances categorized by primary underlying risk and product type in the preceding tables. Collateral pledged (received) for derivative assets and derivative liabilities represent the cash amounts which are included in due from brokers on the statements of financial condition. Actual collateral pledged or received by the Master Funds may exceed these amounts.

3. Investments in Master Funds (continued)
 
The following table displays the gross volume of derivative activities categorized by primary underlying risk of Graham Commodity Strategies LLC based on its average quarterly notional amounts and number of contracts for the year ended December 31, 2023. The table also displays the fair value of derivative contracts held by Graham Commodity Strategies LLC at December 31, 2023 categorized by primary underlying risk. The fair value of derivative contracts is included in derivative financial instruments on the Master Funds’ statements of financial condition. Derivatives denominated in foreign currencies have been converted to U.S. dollars. Derivative asset and derivative liability balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty netting. The Master Funds trade derivative instruments on a leveraged basis. Due to the low margin deposits normally required for trading these derivative financial instruments, the gross notional exposure as displayed in the tables below may exceed the net asset value of the Master Funds by a significant amount. As a result, a relatively small price movement in an underlying derivative financial instrument may result in immediate and substantial effect on the net income and net asset value of the Master Funds and GAIT.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (continued)
3. Investments in Master Funds (continued)
 
When multiple derivative contracts are held with the same counterparty, the Master Funds will net the contracts in an asset position with the contracts in a liability position when covered by a master netting agreement or similar arrangements, for presentation in the statements of financial condition. The table below displays the amounts at December 31, 2023 by which the fair values of both derivative assets and derivative liabilities were reduced within the Master Funds’ statements of financial condition as a result of this netting. Gross amounts below correspond to the total derivative asset and derivative liability balances categorized by primary underlying risk and product type in the preceding tables. Collateral pledged (received) for derivative assets and derivative liabilities represent the cash amounts which are included in due from brokers on the statements of financial condition. Actual collateral pledged or received by the Master Funds may exceed these amounts.

4. Graham Cash Assets LLC
 
GAIT invests a portion of its excess liquidity in Cash Assets, an entity for which the Manager is also the sole investment advisor. Cash Assets commenced operations on June 22, 2005 and was formed as a Delaware Limited Liability Company for the purpose of consolidating investment activity of multiple funds managed by the Manager. Its objective is to preserve capital while enhancing return on cash balances and providing daily liquidity. Cash Assets maintains cash and cash equivalents on deposit with major U.S. institutions, which may exceed federally insured limits. It also invests in debt obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Federal government, which generally range in maturity from one day to thirty months. Cash Assets  currently intends to hold all fixed income securities until maturity and values them at amortized cost which approximates fair value.  If Cash Assets were forced to sell some of its securities in the open market before they mature to meet unanticipated redemption requests (whether from GAIT or other entities affiliated with the Manager), the market value of the securities at such time may be below their amortized cost, causing a loss for GAIT’s investors. GAIT’s investment in Cash Assets is valued in the accompanying statements of financial condition at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP based upon GAIT’s proportionate share of Cash Assets’ reported net asset value. GAIT’s investment in Cash Assets at
March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $62,016,363 and $59,261,119 which represents a percentage of GAIT’s Members’ Capital of 91.56% and 91.33%, respectively.
 
GAIT records its proportionate share of Cash Assets’ investment income and expenses on a monthly basis.  For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the total amount recognized by GAIT with respect to its investment in Cash Assets was $756,689 and $363,869, respectively.  These amounts are included in interest income in the statements of operations and incentive allocation. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, GAIT owned approximately 0.91% and 1.02%, respectively, of Cash Assets. The following table summarizes the financial position of Cash Assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

5. Capital Accounts
 
GAIT offers members Class 0 and Class 2 Units, and effective March 19, 2024, formed Class 3-A Units and Class 3-B Units (collectively the “Units”). Class 0 Units and Class 2 Units are currently issued. As of March 31, 2024, there were no subscriptions or redemptions of Class 3-A Units and Class 3-B Units. GAIT may issue additional classes in the future subject to different fees, expenses or other terms, or invest in other investment programs or combinations of investment programs managed by the Manager. GAIT also has Management Units (“Class M units”) which are solely for the investment of the Manager.
 
A separate capital account is maintained for each member with respect to each Class of Units held by such member. The initial balance of each Member’s Capital account is equal to the initial contribution to GAIT with respect to the Class to which such capital account relates. Each Member’s Capital Account is increased by any additional subscription and decreased by any redemption by such member of Units of such Class to which the capital account relates. All income and expenses of GAIT are allocated among the capital accounts of the members in proportion to the balance that each capital account bears to the balance of all capital accounts as of the beginning of such fiscal period.
 
Subscriptions
 
Units may be purchased at a price equal to the Net Asset Value per Unit of the relevant Class as of the immediately preceding Valuation Day, as defined in the LLC Agreement. There is no minimum subscription amount.
 
Units are available for subscription as of the first business day of each month upon written notice of at least three business days prior to the last business day of the preceding month.
 
Redemptions
 
Units are not subject to any minimum holding period. Members may redeem Units at the Net Asset Value thereof as of the last business day of each month upon not less than three business days’ prior written notice to the administrator.
 
6. Fees and Related Party Transactions
 
Advisory Fees
 
Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT paid the Manager an advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”) at an aggregate annual rate of 1.50% of the Members’ Capital of such Class. Class 3-A and Class 3-B have an advisory fee at an aggregate annual rate of 1.50% and 2.00% of the Members’ Capital of such Class, respectively. The Advisory Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month and any other date the Manager may permit, in its sole and absolute discretion, as of which any subscription or redemption is affected with respect to Units of such Class during the month. Class M has no sponsor fee. The Advisory Fees paid to the Manager by Class 0 and Class 2 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $243,556 and $227,889, respectively.

Class 0 and Class 2 of GAIT paid the Manager a sponsor fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) at an annual rate of the Members’ Capital specified in the table below. Class 3-A, Class 3-B and Class M of GAIT have no sponsor fee. The Sponsor Fee is payable monthly in arrears calculated as of the last business day of each month in the same manner as the Advisory Fee. The Sponsor Fees paid to the Manager by Class 0 and Class 2 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $125,132 and $122,253, respectively.

Incentive Allocation
 
At the end of each calendar quarter, Graham Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Manager, will receive a special allocation of net profits (the “Incentive Allocation”) in an amount equal to 20% of the New High Net Trading Profits of each Class as defined in the LLC Agreement. The Incentive Allocation is also accrued and allocable on the date of redemption with respect to any Units that are redeemed prior to the end of a calendar quarter. Additionally, any loss carryforward attributable to any class of GAIT shall be proportionately reduced effective as of the date of any redemption of any Units of such class by multiplying the loss carryforward by the ratio that the amount of assets redeemed from such class bears to the net assets of such class immediately prior to such redemption. The loss carryforward of a class must be recouped before any subsequent Incentive Allocation can be made. The Incentive Allocation for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $312,502 and $132, respectively.
 
Any portion of any of the above fees, including the Incentive Allocation, may be paid by the Manager to third parties as compensation for selling activities in connection with GAIT.
 
Administrator’s Fee
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, GAIT paid SEI a monthly administrator’s fee based on GAIT’s Members’ Capital, calculated as of the last business day of each month. In addition, GAIT reimbursed SEI for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of GAIT. The total administrator’s fees, including out-of-pocket expenses, incurred by GAIT were $21,103 and $19,978, respectively.
 
Professional Fees
 
GAIT shall pay, or reimburse the Manager, for expenses arising in connection with GAIT’s audit, tax and legal fees (“professional fees”). The total professional fees incurred by GAIT for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $106,420 and $15,314, respectively.
 
Operating Expenses
 
GAIT shall pay, or reimburse the Manager, for expenses arising in connection with the GAIT’s investments, operations, and business (“operating expenses”).  For the three months ended March 31, 2024, GAIT reimbursed the Manager for operating expenses which were comprised of market data and technology costs associated with its assets allocated to the various Master Funds. The total operating expenses incurred by GAIT for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $10,637 and $10,627, respectively.

7. Income Taxes
 
No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as members are individually responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of GAIT’s income and expenses for income tax purposes.
 
U.S. GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing GAIT’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. GAIT identifies its major tax jurisdictions as the U.S. for Federal tax purposes, Connecticut for state tax purposes and various international jurisdictions. The Manager has evaluated GAIT’s tax positions for all open tax years under the respective statutes of limitations (generally three years in the U.S. but varying in non-U.S. jurisdictions) and has concluded that there are no significant tax positions requiring recognition, measurement, or disclosure in the financial statements. The Manager is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will change materially in the next twelve months. Tax years which are considered open by the relevant jurisdiction are subject to potential examination. Any assessment for interest or penalties on taxes related to uncertain tax positions, when present, would be included in interest and penalties on tax on the statements of operations and incentive allocation. No such interest and/or penalties were assessed to GAIT for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
 
8. Risk Factors

Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect GAIT’s operations. The current global financial market situation, as well as various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide.  Such impacts may affect the financial markets in which the GAIT operates.

Total return is calculated for Class 0 and Class 2 units taken as a whole. Total return is calculated as the change in total Members’ Capital, excluding that of the Manager, adjusted for subscriptions or redemptions during the period. An individual member’s return may vary from these returns based on the timing of capital transactions and the applicability of Advisory Fees, Sponsor Fees, Administrator’s Fees, and the Incentive Allocation. The net investment income (loss) and total expense ratios (including Incentive Allocation) are calculated for the Class 0 and Class 2 units taken as a whole and include amounts from GAIT and net investment income (loss) and expenses allocated from Master Funds and investment income from Cash Assets. The computation of such ratios is based on the amount of net investment income (loss), total expenses and Incentive Allocation. Net investment income (loss) and total expense ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of Members’ Capital of GAIT, excluding that of the Manager, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and have not been annualized.

(a)
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of our current financial position and results of operations. This discussion should be read together with our annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024. This discussion should also be read in conjunction with “Item 1: Financial Statements”, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The information contained therein is essential to, and should be read in conjunction with, the following analysis. For the purposes of this filing beginning with Item 2, the term “Fund” shall include the Core Macro Portfolio of GAIF II, GAI, GAIT, and the Master Funds in which they invest, unless the context implies otherwise. The Fund does not engage in the sale of goods or services. The Fund’s capital consists of capital contributions of the members, as increased or decreased by gains and losses from its investments in the Master Funds, interest, expenses, and redemptions. Its only assets are its investments in the Master Funds. The Master Funds do not engage in the sale of goods or services. Their assets are comprised of fixed income positions, the equity in their accounts with clearing brokers and OTC counterparties, in each case consisting of cash, open trade equity on derivatives and the net option premium paid or received. In the case of Graham Cash Assets LLC (“Cash Assets”), the assets consist of investments in debt obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Federal government, as well as cash and cash equivalents.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Core Macro Portfolio’s Members’ Capital increased by $1,724,171 or 5.1%. The net increase in the Core Macro Portfolio was attributable to a net income of $2,964,907 or 8.7% and subscriptions of $338,000 or 1.0%, offset by redemptions totaling $1,578,736 or - 4.6% for the period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Core Macro Portfolio’s Members’ Capital decreased by $497,107 or -1.5%. The net decrease in the Core Macro Portfolio was attributable to redemptions totaling $171,935 or -0.5% and a net loss of $815,172 or -2.5%, offset by subscriptions totaling $490,000 or 1.5% for the period.

  (i)
Results of Operations

The Fund’s success depends primarily upon the Manager’s ability to recognize and capitalize on market trends in the different and varied sectors of the global financial markets in which it trades.

2024 Summary

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Core Macro Portfolio experienced a net trading gain of $3,004,802. The trading results are attributable to the following sectors:

Agriculture / Softs
 
$
283,230
 
Base Metals
   
8,669
 
Energy
   
376,986
 
Equities

Precious Metals
   
192,398
 
Short Term Rates
   
85,417
 
   
$
3,004,802
 

The Core Macro Portfolio began 2024 with a strong start, with trading gains across all sectors during Q1. Equities were the top performing sector due to long positions in U.S., Japanese, and European benchmark index futures. In commodities, gains resulted from long positions in energy, softs, and gold. Mixed long and short positions across the yield curve in the U.S. led to profits in fixed income. The portfolio also produced positive performance in currencies, mainly due to long U.S. dollar exposure versus various global counterparts, including the Swiss franc, Chinese yuan, Japanese yen, and Canadian dollar.

Advisory, Sponsor, and Administrator’s Fees are calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions into and redemptions out of the Fund. Accordingly, the fluctuations in these amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value which are discussed in detail herein.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Advisory Fees increased by $12,088 or 10.1%, Sponsor Fees increased by $3,596 or 5.8%, and Administrator’s Fees increased by $883 or 8.7% in the Fund over the corresponding period of the preceding year. The movements are consistent with the timing of profit and loss and capital activity during the quarter. During the same period, interest income increased by $208,782 or 97.8%. Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 4.99% for the three months ended
March 31, 2024 compared to 2.57% for the same period in 2023.

The Incentive Allocation is based on the New High Net Trading Profits of the portfolio. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Incentive Allocation was $171,726 and $(430), respectively. The Incentive Allocation of $171,726 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was the result of a net gain before Incentive Allocation. The Incentive Allocation of $(430) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to the Fund’s larger proportionate ownership of GAIT during the time of incentive fee reversal relative to the time of the accrual.

The following table illustrates the sector distribution of the Fund’s investments in Master Funds as of March 31, 2024 based on the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities in each Master Fund including both long and short positions. Positive percentages represent net assets whereas negative percentages represent a net liability.

2023 Summary

The Core Macro Portfolio recorded a net loss for the first quarter of 2023. The majority of losses were in commodities and resulted mainly from long positions in various energy markets, with smaller losses from long positions in silver. The portfolio also experienced losses in fixed income, mainly due to short positions across the yield curve in Japan and Europe. In currencies, losses resulted from long exposure to several global currencies versus the U.S. dollar, particularly the Japanese yen, Australian dollar, and the euro. The portfolio generated gains in equity indices from long positions in European benchmark indices, as well as evolving positions in U.S benchmark indices.

Advisory, Sponsor, and Administrator’s Fees are calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value as of the end of each month and are affected by trading performance, interest income, subscriptions into and redemptions out of the Fund. Accordingly, the fluctuations in these amounts are directly correlated to the changes in net asset value which are discussed in detail herein.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Advisory Fees increased by $5,090 or 4.4%, Sponsor Fees increased by $2,661 or 4.5%, and Administrator’s Fees increased by $396 or 4.1% in the Fund over the corresponding period of the preceding year. The movements are consistent with the timing of profit and loss and capital activity during the quarter. During the same period, interest income increased by $202,673 or 1865.9%. Interest was earned on free cash at an average annualized yield of 2.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 0.18% for the same period in 2022.

The Incentive Allocation is based on the New High Net Trading Profits of the portfolio. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Incentive Allocation was $(430) and $678,638, respectively. This was due to the Fund’s larger proportionate ownership of GAIT during the time of incentive fee reversal for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, where the portfolio experienced a net gain before incentive allocation.

The following table illustrates the sector distribution of the Fund’s investments in Master Funds as of March 31, 2023 based on the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities in each Master Fund including both long and short positions.

Variables Affecting Performance
 
The Fund’s performance is affected by net profitability resulting from the trading operations of the Master Funds, the fees charged by the Fund, and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents. The Master Funds acquire and liquidate fixed income positions, long and short positions in futures contracts, forwards contracts, spot currency contracts and associated derivative instruments such as options and swaps. These instruments are carried at fair value, which is heavily influenced by a wide variety of factors including but not limited to, the level and volatility of exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, and commodity prices as well as global macro political events. These factors generate market movements affecting the fair value of these instruments and in turn the net gains and losses allocated from the Master Funds.

Advisory, Sponsor, and Administrator’s Fees are calculated based on a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value. Changes in the net assets of the Fund resulting from subscriptions, redemptions, interest and trading profits allocated from the Master Funds can therefore have a material impact on the fee expense of the Fund.

A portion of the assets of the Fund is held in cash and cash equivalents. Changes in the net assets of the Fund as well as changes in the interest rates earned on these investments can have a material impact on interest income earned.

 
(ii)
Liquidity

There are no known demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties that will result in or are reasonably likely to result in the Fund’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

A portion of the Fund’s assets is generally held as cash or cash equivalents, which are used to margin the Fund’s investments.  It is expected that the average margin the Fund will be required to post to support the Fund’s trading may range between 10% and 30% of the Fund’s total assets, which will be segregated or secured by the futures brokers in accordance with the CEA and with CFTC regulations or be maintained on deposit with over-the-counter counterparties. In exceptional market conditions, this amount could increase. The Master Funds are subject to margin calls on a constant daily and intra-day basis, whether in connection with initiating new investment positions or as a result of changes in the value of current investment positions. These margin requirements are met through the posting of additional margin with the applicable futures or FX clearing broker, on an almost daily basis. The Manager generally expresses its margin requirements for the portfolios in terms of the aggregate of the margin requirements for the underlying strategies plus the net option premium costs for the underlying strategies. The following table shows these amounts as of the date indicated:

 
 
Core Macro
Portfolio
 
March 31, 2024
   
9.24%

December 31, 2023
   
10.04%

March 31, 2023
   
7.91%


Other than any potential market-imposed limitations on liquidity, the Fund’s assets are highly liquid and are expected to remain so. Market-imposed limitations, when they occur, can be due to limited open interest in certain futures markets or to daily price fluctuation limits, which are inherent in the Fund’s futures trading. Through March 31, 2024, the Fund experienced no meaningful periods of illiquidity in any of the markets traded by the Manager on behalf of the Fund.

65

  (iii)
Capital Resources

The Fund raises additional capital through the sale of Units and capital is increased through trading profits (if any) and interest income. The Fund may borrow money from brokers or their affiliates and other lenders. Units may be offered for sale as of the beginning, and may be redeemed as of the end, of each month. The amount of capital raised for the Fund should not have a significant impact on its operations, as the Fund has no significant capital expenditure or working capital requirements other than for monies to pay trading losses, brokerage commissions and expenses.

The Fund participates in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts, substantially all of which are subject to margin requirements. The minimum amount of margin required for each contract is set from time to time in response to various market factors by the respective exchanges. Further, the Fund’s brokers may require margin in excess of minimum exchange requirements. The Fund bears the risk of financial failure of the brokers through which it clears trades and maintains margin in respect of any such trades and of its counterparties for its foreign exchange and swap trades with whom it also maintains margin.

 
(iv)
Critical Accounting Estimates

Presentation – Graham Alternative Investment Fund II LLC is a series Limited Liability Company under Delaware law. The financial statements and corresponding footnotes are presented solely for the Core Macro Portfolio, except where otherwise noted.
 
Use of Estimates – The Fund’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and all amounts are stated in U.S. dollars except where noted. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements.
 
Fair Value Measurement – The Fund follows U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. U.S. GAAP uses a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the activeness of the market and the transparency and independence of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The Fund reports the fair value of its investment-related assets and liabilities in accordance with the hierarchy established under U.S. GAAP.
 
The Fund records its investments in GAIT at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In determining its net asset value, GAIT records its investments in Master Funds at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Fund records its proportionate share of GAIT’s investment income and loss, expenses, fees, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on a monthly basis. Purchases and sales of units in GAIT are recorded on a trade date basis.
 
The Master Funds record all their financial instruments at fair value, which is derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation from these instruments are recorded based on changes in their fair value. Realized gains and losses are recorded when the positions are closed. All unrealized and realized gains and losses related to financial instruments are included in net gain (loss) on investments in the Master Funds’ statements of operations.
 
Investment CompanyThe Fund is an investment company and applies specialized accounting guidance as outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Update 2013-08, Financial Services – Investment Companies, Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. The Manager has evaluated this guidance and has determined the Fund meets the criteria to be classified as an investment company.
 
Cash Assets – GAIT invests a portion of its excess liquidity in Cash Assets, an entity for which the Manager is also the sole investment advisor. The financial information of Cash Assets is included in the notes to the financial statements of GAIT.
 
66

Income Taxes – No provision for income taxes has been made in the Fund’s financial statements, as each member is responsible for reporting income or loss based upon the member’s respective share of the Fund’s revenues and expenses for income tax purposes.
 
U.S. GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year and the Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Connecticut State. The Manager has evaluated the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that there are no significant tax positions requiring recognition, measurement, or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements for all open tax years. The Manager is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will change materially in the next twelve months. Tax years which are considered open by the relevant jurisdiction are subject to potential examination.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

No disclosure is required hereunder as the Fund is a “smaller reporting company”, as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

The Fund has established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Fund in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Manager and the Fund’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2024, the Manager, along with the Manager’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that the Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective.
