PART I

Item 1. Business

(a)
General development of business

Man-AHL Diversified I L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), was organized in September 1997 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and commenced trading operations on April 3, 1998, for the purpose of engaging in the speculative trading of physical commodities, futures and forward contracts and related instruments. The Partnership was formerly named AHL Diversified (USA) L.P., but was renamed in February 2002. The Partnership is a “feeder” fund in a “master-feeder” structure, whereby the Partnership invests substantially all of its assets in Man AHL-Diversified Trading Company L.P. (the “Trading Company”). AHL Partners LLP (the “Trading Advisor”), a United Kingdom limited liability partnership, is the Partnership’s and the Trading Company’s trading advisor. The Trading Advisor also serves as the Partnership’s commodity pool operator. Man Investments (USA) Corp. (the “General Partner”), a Delaware corporation, is the Partnership’s general partner. The Trading Advisor is an affiliate of the General Partner. Man Investments Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company, that is part of Man Group plc (“Man Group”), is the managing member of the Trading Advisor, and Man Investments Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation that is part of Man Group, is the sole shareholder of the General Partner.

On January 28, 2008, the Partnership filed a registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). The registration statement, which was subsequently amended, became effective on or about March 28, 2008. The Partnership offers two classes of units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership (“Units”): Class A Units are generally offered; Class B Units are offered to employee benefit plans, IRAs and other retirement plans and accounts. The two Classes of Units are identical to each other except that Class B Units may be purchased, transferred, held and redeemed in a minimum amount of $10,000. On April 1, 2009, the Partnership added two new series of Units: Class A Series 2 Units (“Class A-2”) and Class B Series 2 Units (“Class B-2”). Except as described in section (c) below, Class A-2 and Class B-2 units are identical to Class A and B units, respectfully. Previously offered Class B-2 units are no longer offered by the Partnership, and units have been redeemed as of November 30, 2018.

Although the Partnership uses the term “class” to distinguish between certain interests in the Partnership, the Partnership does not believe that the differences between such interests are sufficient to make them separate “classes” under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, as all of the interests in the Partnership, regardless of “class,” are of substantially similar character and the holders of which enjoy substantially similar rights and privileges. The holders of interests in the Partnership (regardless of “class”) share pro rata in the Partnership’s profits and losses, enjoying no preferences over one another during the life of the Partnership or upon dissolution and otherwise have identical rights under the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”). The only differences among the “classes” relate to fees and minimum investment.

The General Partner became the general partner of the Partnership as of April 1, 2005 when Man-AHL (USA) Corp., the Partnership’s original general partner and trading advisor (“Man-AHL”), appointed it as such. In addition to the appointment of the General Partner, Man-AHL appointed Man-AHL (USA) Limited to serve as the trading advisor to the Partnership commencing as of April 1, 2005. Following the appointments of the General Partner as a general partner and Man-AHL (USA) Limited as the trading advisor, Man-AHL resigned as a general partner and trading advisor of the Partnership. The General Partner agreed to continue the Partnership without interruption or change. On June 1, 2014, the General Partner appointed the Trading Advisor as trading advisor of the Partnership, and Man-AHL (USA) Limited resigned as trading advisor. The Trading Advisor implements the same trading program and employs substantively the same personnel as did Man-AHL (USA) Limited. The General Partner controls and manages the business of the Partnership, but has otherwise delegated its investment management authority and commodity pool operator responsibilities with respect to the Partnership to the Trading Advisor. Purchasers of Units, as the Partnership’s “Limited Partners,” have no right to participate in management or control of the Partnership. The offices of the Partnership, where its books and records are kept, are located at the office of the General Partner: 1345 Avenue of the Americas., Floor 21, New York, NY, 10105; telephone (212) 649-6600.

Narrative description of business

The Partnership engages in speculative trading, directly and indirectly, of physical commodities, futures contracts, spot and forward contracts, swaps and options on the foregoing, exchanges of futures for physical transactions and other investments on domestic and international exchanges and markets (including the interbank and over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets). The Partnership’s indirect investments will be made through an investment in the Trading Company, pursuant to the trading strategies employed by the Trading Advisor. The Partnership invests substantially all of its assets in the Trading Company.

The investment objective of the AHL Diversified Program is to deliver capital growth for commensurate levels of volatility over the medium term, independent of the movement of the stock and bond markets, through the speculative trading, directly and indirectly, of futures, options and forward contracts, swaps and other financial derivatives both on and off exchange. The AHL Diversified Program trades globally in several market sectors, including without limitation, currencies, bonds, energies, stock indices, interest rates, credit, metals, agricultural and volatility. In the future, the AHL Diversified Program may, to a limited extent, invest in stocks.

The AHL Diversified Program employs a systematic, statistically based investment strategy that is designed to identify and capitalize on trends and other inefficiencies in markets around the world. Trading signals are generated and executed via a finely tuned trading and implementation infrastructure. This process is quantitative, meaning that investment decisions are entirely driven by mathematical models based on quantitative analysis of historical relationships. It is underpinned by rigorous risk control, ongoing research, diversification and the constant quest for efficiency. Trading takes place around-the-clock and real-time price information is used to respond to price moves across a diverse range of global markets.

As well as emphasizing sector and market diversification, the AHL Diversified Program has been constructed to achieve diversification by combining various investment strategies. The AHL Diversified Program invests in a diversified portfolio of instruments which may include futures, options and forward contracts, swaps and other financial derivatives both on and off exchange. The AHL Diversified Program trades a broad range of markets and these markets may be accessed directly or indirectly and include, without limitation, stock indices, bonds, currencies, short-term interest rates, energies, credits, metals, agricultural and volatility.

Another important aspect of diversification is the fact that the models generate signals across different timeframes, ranging from intra-day to several months. In line with the principle of diversification, the approach to portfolio construction and asset allocation is premised on the importance of deploying investment capital across the full range of sectors and markets. Particular attention is paid to correlation of markets and sectors, expected returns, trading costs and market liquidity. Portfolios are regularly reviewed and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect changes in these factors. The Trading Advisor also has a systematic process for adjusting market risk exposure in real time to reflect changes in the volatility of individual markets.

The AHL Diversified Program uses margin and considerable leverage to reach model allocations.

The AHL Diversified Program is supported by a dedicated investment team, focused on the continual refinement of its trading models as well as the identification of new opportunities. These are gradually introduced into the AHL Diversified Program following extensive research and testing. The number and diversity of markets and strategies traded directly or indirectly by the AHL Diversified Program are therefore likely to continue to expand over time. It should also be noted that the implementation of the AHL Diversified Program by the Trading Company may differ from the way in which the AHL Diversified Program is implemented by other investment products managed by entities within the Man Group. These differences generally include, among other things, differences in the types of financial instruments, markets and asset classes traded which arise out of legal structuring, applicable law and other restrictions and/or considerations with respect to such investment products.

The Trading Advisor is paid a monthly management fee, payable in arrears, in an amount equal to 1/6th of 1% of the month-end Net Asset Value of the Partnership (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement) whether or not the Partnership is profitable (approximately 2% annually). The General Partner is paid a monthly general partner administrative fee in an amount equal to 1/12th of 1% of the month-end Net Asset Value of the Partnership whether or not the Partnership is profitable (approximately 1% annually) in respect to Class A-1 and Class B-1 units. The Trading Advisor may pay a portion of its management fee to the General Partner, and the General Partner may share a portion of its administrative fee with the Placement Agent (as defined below).

The Partnership will pay the Trading Advisor an incentive fee equal to 20% of the Net New Appreciation (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement), if any, achieved by the Partnership as of the end of such calendar month. Trading Advisor will be entitled to retain all incentive fees previously paid to it even if subsequent losses are incurred. However, no subsequent incentive fees will be paid to the Trading Advisor until the Trading Advisor has again achieved Net New Appreciation for the Partnership. Net New Appreciation achieved during a calendar month means the excess, if any, of (a) the Net Asset Value of the Partnership as of the end of a calendar month (without reduction for any incentive fees accrued or paid to the Trading Advisor for the calendar month or for any redemptions or distributions effected during or as of the end of such calendar month and without increase for any additional capital contributions effected during or as of the end of such calendar month) over (b) the Net Asset Value of the Partnership as of the end of the most recent prior calendar month for which an incentive fee was accrued or paid to the Trading Advisor, with clause (b) reduced by the amount of the incentive fee accrued or paid for such prior calendar month and also reduced by any redemptions or distributions, and increased by any contributions, effected as of or subsequent to the end of such prior calendar month through the first day of the calendar month referred to in clause (a), above.

Man Investments Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner and Trading Advisor, is the lead placement agent for the Partnership (the “Placement Agent”). In connection with various services provided by the Placement Agent to the Partnership related to the offer and sale of interests in the Partnership and the ongoing servicing of its investors, the Partnership will pay the Placement Agent a servicing fee equal to, in respect to Class A-1 Units and Class B-1 Units, 1/12th of 1% of the month-end Net Asset Value of such Units (approximately 1% annually), and in respect of Class A-2 Units, 1/12th of 0.75% of the month-end Net Asset Value of such Units (approximately 0.75% annually). The Placement Agent may pass all or a portion of the servicing fee on to certain other selling and services agents. In addition, Class A-1 and Class B-1 Units purchased through a Selling Agent may be subject to the payment of an additional upfront selling commission of up to 3% of the purchase price of such Units.

The Partnership’s organizational and initial offering fees and expenses were paid by the Partnership and have been completely amortized. The Partnership pays all of its expenses incurred in the ordinary course of its business. The Partnership also pays its extraordinary expenses, if any.

The Trading Company utilizes multiple brokers in the performance of its trading activities. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. serve as the Trading Company’s futures brokers; Natwest Markets plc, HSBC Bank PLC, Citibank, N.A. London Branch and BNP Paribas serve as the Trading Company’s foreign exchange prime brokers; J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Barclays Capital Inc. act as the clearing members for centrally cleared credit default swap index transactions engaged in by the Trading Company; and the Trading Company conducts certain OTC interest rate swap trading through

2


 

J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A. (collectively, the “Brokers”). The Partnership is charged brokerage commissions at institutional rates, inclusive of all applicable National Futures Association (the “NFA”), exchange, clearing and other transaction fees. In connection with trading spot and forward contracts in the interbank foreign currency markets, the Partnership pays clearing fees of between $3.25 and $4.00 per transaction as well as dealer profits, which cannot be quantified, embedded in dealer quotes.

The Partnership invests substantially all of its assets in the Trading Company. All of the Trading Company’s assets will be held in cash or United States (“U.S.”) government securities in accounts in the name of the Trading Company at the Brokers or a bank, which currently is The Bank of New York Mellon, and in order to conduct futures trading activities, will be transferred, as necessary, into segregated accounts at the Brokers. Approximately 10% to 40% of the Trading Company’s assets will be committed as margin for derivative positions. The Brokers may receive compensating balance treatment and excess interest income on the Partnership’s assets, through the Trading Company, held at the Brokers in the form of cash.

The Trading Company engages in trading on non-U.S. exchanges and markets. In connection with trading on non-U.S. exchanges and markets, the brokers may either maintain Trading Company assets in accordance with the requirements of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) Rule 30.7 or may redeposit Trading Company assets with non-U.S. banks and brokers which may not be subject to regulatory schemes comparable to those applicable to the Brokers.

Regulation

Under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”), commodity exchanges and trading in futures and swaps (as defined in the CEA) are subject to regulation by the CFTC. The NFA, a “registered futures association” under the CEA, is the only non-exchange self-regulatory organization for futures industry professionals. The CFTC has delegated to the NFA responsibility for the registration of “commodity trading advisors,” “commodity pool operators,” “futures commission merchants,” “swap dealers,” “introducing brokers” and their respective associated persons and “floor brokers” and “floor traders.” The CEA requires commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisors, such as the General Partner and Trading Advisor, respectively, and commodity brokers, swap dealers, or futures commission merchants to be registered and to comply with various reporting and record keeping requirements. The CFTC may suspend a commodity pool operator’s or trading advisor’s registration if it finds that its trading practices tend to disrupt orderly market conditions or in certain other situations. In the event that the registration of the Trading Advisor as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor were terminated or suspended, the Trading Advisor would be unable to fulfill its obligations as the Partnership’s commodity pool operator or implement the AHL Diversified Program on behalf of the Partnership. Should the Trading Advisor’s registrations be suspended, termination of the Partnership might result.

In addition to such registration requirements, the CFTC and certain commodity exchanges have established limits on the maximum net long or net short position which any person may hold or control in particular commodities. Most exchanges also limit the changes in futures contract prices that may occur during a single trading day.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risk of Loss. Investing in the Partnership is speculative and involves substantial risks. You should not invest unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.

General. The transactions in which the Trading Advisor generally will engage on behalf of the Partnership involve significant risks. Growing competition may limit the Trading Advisor’s ability to take advantage of trading opportunities in rapidly changing markets. No assurance can be given that investors will realize a profit on their investment. Moreover, investors may lose all or some of their investment. Because of the nature of the trading activities, the results of the Partnership’s operations may fluctuate from month to month and from period to period. Accordingly, investors should understand that the results of a particular period will not necessarily be indicative of results in future periods.

Markets Are Volatile and Difficult to Predict. Trading in futures is a speculative activity. Futures prices may be highly volatile. Market prices are difficult to predict and are influenced by many factors, including: changes in interest rates; governmental, agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies; weather and climate conditions; changing supply and demand relationships; national and international political and economic events; and the changing philosophies and emotions of market participants. In addition, governments intervene in particular markets from time to time, both directly and by regulation, often with the intent to influence prices. The effects of government intervention may be particularly significant in the financial instrument and currency markets, and may cause such markets to move rapidly.

Trading Is Highly Leveraged. The low margin deposits normally required in futures trading permit an extremely high degree of leverage. A relatively small movement in the price of a futures contract may result in immediate and substantial loss or gain to a trader holding a position in such contract. For example, if at the time of purchase 10% of the price of a futures contract is deposited as margin, a 10% decrease in the price of the futures contract would, if the contract were then closed out, result in a total loss of the margin deposit before any deduction for brokerage commissions. Consequently, like other leveraged investments, a futures trade may result in losses in excess of the amount invested. Forward contracts involve similar leverage and also may require deposits of margin as collateral. Swaps and OTC derivative instruments are also highly leveraged transactions.

3


 

Markets May Be Illiquid. At times, it may not be possible for the Trading Advisor to obtain execution of a buy or sell order at the desired price or to liquidate an open position, either due to market conditions on exchanges or due to the operation of “daily price fluctuation limits” or “circuit breakers.” For example, most U.S. commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in most futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” During a single trading day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Futures contract prices occasionally have moved to the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading.

Even when futures prices have not moved to the daily limit, the Trading Advisor might not be able to obtain execution of trades at favorable prices if little trading in the contracts which the Trading Advisor wishes to trade is taking place. Also, an exchange or governmental authority may suspend or restrict trading on an exchange (or in particular futures traded on an exchange) or order the immediate settlement of a particular instrument.

Options trading may be restricted in the event that trading in the underlying instrument becomes restricted. Options trading also may be illiquid at times regardless of the condition of the market in the underlying instrument. In either event, it will be difficult for the Trading Advisor to realize gains or limit losses on option positions by offsetting them or to change positions in the market.

Trading in OTC derivative instruments is conducted with individual counterparties rather than on organized exchanges. There have been periods during which forward contract dealers have refused to quote prices for forward contracts or have quoted prices with an unusually wide spread between the bid and asked price.

Speculative Position Limits May Restrict Futures Trading. Speculative position limits prescribe the maximum net long or short futures contract and options positions which any person or group may hold or control in particular futures contracts. All futures contracts and options on futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges located in the United States, with the exception of contracts on certain major non-U.S. currencies, are subject to speculative position limits established either by the CFTC or the relevant exchange.

All trading accounts owned or managed by the Trading Advisor and its principals will be combined for the purposes of speculative position limits. Such limits could adversely affect the profitability of the Trading Company and, consequently, of the Partnership. For example, the Trading Advisor could be required to liquidate futures positions at an unfavorable time in order to comply with such limits. However, the Trading Advisor does not believe that existing speculative position limits will materially adversely affect its ability to manage the Trading Company’s account.

Cash Flow. Futures contract gains and losses are marked-to-market daily for purposes of determining margin requirements. Option positions generally are not, although short option positions will require additional margin if the market moves against the position. Due to these differences in margin treatment between futures and options, there may be periods in which positions on both sides must be closed down prematurely due to short-term cash flow needs. If this were to occur during an adverse move in a spread or straddle relationship, a substantial loss could occur.

Decisions Based on Trends and Technical Analysis. The trading decisions of the Trading Advisor will be based in part on trading strategies which utilize mathematical analyses of technical factors relating to past market performance. The buy and sell signals generated by a technical, trend-following trading strategy are based upon a study of actual daily, weekly and monthly price fluctuations, volume variations and changes in open interest in the markets. The profitability of any technical, trend-following trading strategy depends upon the occurrence in the future of significant, sustained price moves in some of the markets traded. The Trading Company and, consequently, the Partnership may incur substantial trading losses:

during periods when markets are dominated by fundamental factors that are not reflected in the technical data analyzed by the program;
during prolonged periods without sustained moves in one or more of the markets traded; or
during “whip-saw” markets, in which potential price trends start to develop but reverse before actual trends are realized.

In the past there have been prolonged periods without sustained price moves in various markets. Presumably, such periods will recur. A series of volatile reverses in price trends may generate repeated entry and exit signals in trend-following systems, resulting in unprofitable transactions and increased brokerage commission expenses. Technical, trend-following trading systems are used by many other traders. At times, the use of such systems may:

result in traders attempting to initiate or liquidate substantial positions in a market at or about the same time;
alter historical trading patterns;
obscure developing price trends; or
affect the execution of trades.

Model and Data Risk. The Trading Advisor relies heavily on proprietary mathematical quantitative models (each a “Model” and collectively, “Models”) and data developed both by the Trading Advisor and those supplied by third parties (collectively, “Data”) rather than granting trade-by-trade discretion to the Trading Advisor’s investment professionals. In combination, Models and Data are used to construct investment decisions, to value both current and potential investments (including, without limitation, for trading purposes, and for the purposes of determining the Net Asset Value of the Partnership), to provide risk management insights and to assist in hedging the Partnership’s positions and investments. Models and Data are known to have errors, omissions, imperfections and malfunctions (collectively, “System Events”).

The Trading Advisor seeks to reduce the incidence and impact of System Events, to the extent feasible, through a combination of internal testing, simulation, real-time monitoring and the use of independent safeguards in the overall portfolio management process, often in the software code itself. Despite such testing, monitoring and independent safeguards, System Events will result in, among other things, the execution of unanticipated trades, the failure to execute anticipated trades, delays in the execution of anticipated trades, the failure to properly allocate trades, the failure to properly gather and organize available data, the failure to take certain hedging or risk reducing actions and/or the taking of actions which increase certain risk(s)—all of which may have materially adverse effects on the Partnership. System Events in third-party provided Data is generally entirely outside of the control of the Trading Advisor.

The research and modeling processes engaged in by the Trading Advisor on behalf of its managed funds is extremely complex and involves the use of financial, economic, econometric and statistical theories, research and modeling; the results of this investment approach must then be translated into computer code. Although the Trading Advisor seeks to hire individuals skilled in each of these functions and to provide appropriate levels of oversight and employ other mitigating measures and processes, the complexity of the individual tasks, the difficulty of integrating such tasks, and the limited ability to perform “real world” testing of the end product, even with simulations and similar methodologies, raise the chances that Model code may contain one or more coding errors, thus potentially resulting in a System Event and further, one or more of such coding errors could adversely affect the Partnership’s investment performance.

The investment strategies of the Trading Advisor are highly reliant on the gathering, cleaning, culling and performing of analysis of large amounts of Data. Accordingly, Models rely heavily on appropriate Data inputs. However, it is impossible and impracticable to factor all relevant, available Data into forecasts, investment decisions and other parameters of the Models. The Trading Advisor will use its discretion to determine what Data to gather with respect to each investment strategy and what subset of that Data the Models take into account to produce forecasts which may have an impact on ultimate investment decisions. In addition, due to the automated nature of Data gathering, the volume and depth of Data available, the complexity and often manual nature of Data cleaning, and the fact that the substantial majority of Data comes from third-party sources, it is inevitable that not all desired and/or relevant Data will be available to, or processed by, the Trading Advisor at all times. Irrespective of the merit, value and/or strength of a particular Model, it will not perform as designed if incorrect Data is fed into it which may lead to a System Event potentially subjecting the Partnership to a loss. Further, even if Data is input correctly, “model prices” anticipated by the Data through the Models may differ substantially from market prices, especially for financial instruments with complex characteristics, such as derivatives, in which the Partnership may invest.

Where incorrect or incomplete Data is available, the Trading Advisor may, and often will, continue to generate forecasts and make investment decisions based on the Data available to it. Additionally, the Trading Advisor may determine that certain available Data, while potentially useful in generating forecasts and/or making investment decisions, is not cost effective to gather due to, among other factors, the technology costs or third-party vendor costs and, in such cases, the Trading Advisor will not utilize such Data. The Trading Advisor has full discretion to select the Data it utilizes. The Trading Advisor may elect to use or may refrain from using any specific Data or type of Data in generating forecasts or making trading decisions with respect to the Models. The Data utilized in generating forecasts or making trading decisions underlying the Models may not be (i) the most accurate data available or (ii) free of errors. The Data set used in connection with the Models is limited. The foregoing risks associated with gathering, cleaning, culling and analysis of large amounts of Data are an inherent part of investing with a quantitative, process-driven, systematic adviser such as the Trading Advisor.

When Models and Data prove to be incorrect, misleading or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon expose the Partnership to potential losses and such losses may be compounded over time. For example, by relying on Models and Data, the Trading Advisor may be induced to buy certain investments at prices that are too high, to sell certain other investments at prices that are too low, or to miss favorable opportunities altogether. Similarly, any hedging based on faulty Models and Data may prove to be unsuccessful and when determining the Net Asset Value of the Partnership, any valuations of the Partnership’s investments that are based on valuation Models may prove to be incorrect. In addition, Models may incorrectly forecast future behavior, leading to potential losses on a cash flow and/or a mark-to-market basis. Furthermore, in unforeseen or certain low-probability scenarios (often involving a market event or disruption of some kind), Models may produce unexpected results which may or may not be System Events.

Errors in Models and Data are often extremely difficult to detect, and, in the case of Models, the difficulty of detecting System Events may be exacerbated by the lack of design documents or specifications. Regardless of how difficult their detection appears in retrospect, some System Events may go undetected for long periods of time and some may never be detected. When a System Event is detected, a review and analysis of the circumstances that may have caused a reported System Event will be completed and is overseen by an escalation committee made up of appropriate senior personnel. Following this review, the Trading Advisor in its sole discretion may choose not to address or fix such System Event, and the third party software will lead to System Events known to the Trading Advisor that it chooses, in its sole discretion, not to address or fix. The degradation or impact caused by these System Events can compound over time. When a System Event is detected, the Trading Advisor generally will not, as part of the review of circumstances leading to the System Event, perform a materiality analysis on the potential impact of a System Event. The Trading Advisor believes that the testing and monitoring performed on Models and the controls adopted to ensure processes are undertaken with care will enable the Trading Advisor to identify and address those System Events that a prudent person managing a quantitative, systematic and computerized investment program would identify and address by correcting the underlying issue(s) giving rise to the System Events, but there is no guarantee of the success of such processes. Investors should assume that System Events and their ensuing risks and

5


 

impact are an inherent part of investing with a process-driven, systematic investment manager such as the Trading Advisor. Accordingly, the Trading Advisor does not expect to disclose discovered System Events to the Partnership or to its investors.

The Partnership will bear the risks associated with the reliance on Models and Data including bearing all losses related to System Events other than in relation to losses arising from the Trading Advisor’s willful misconduct, negligence or breach of fiduciary obligations.

Trade Systems and Execution of Orders. The Trading Advisor relies extensively on computer programs, systems, technology, Data and Models to implement its execution strategies and algorithms. The Trading Advisor’s investment strategies, trading strategies and algorithms depend on its ability to establish and maintain an overall market position in a combination of financial instruments selected by the Trading Advisor. There is a risk that the Trading Advisor’s proprietary algorithmic trading systems may not be able to adequately react to a market event without serious disruption. Further, trading strategies and algorithms may malfunction causing severe losses. While the Trading Advisor has employed tools to allow for human intervention to respond to significant system malfunctions, it cannot be guaranteed that losses will not occur in such circumstances as unforeseen market events and disruptions and execution system issues.

Orders may not be executed in a timely and efficient manner due to various circumstances, including, without limitation, trading volume surges or systems failures attributable to the Trading Advisor, the Trading Advisor’s counterparties, brokers, dealers, agents or other service providers. In such event, the Trading Advisor might only be able to acquire or dispose of some, but not all, of the components of such position, or if the overall position were to need adjustment, the Trading Advisor might not be able to make such adjustment. As a result, the Partnership would not be able to achieve the market position selected by the Trading Advisor, which may result in a loss.

Trade Error Risk. The complex execution modalities operated by the Trading Advisor and the speed and volume of trading invariably result in occasional trades being executed which, with the benefit of hindsight, were not required or intended by the execution strategy or occasional trades not being executed when they should have been. To the extent a trade error is caused by counterparty, such as a broker, the Trading Advisor generally, to the extent reasonable and practical, attempts to recover any loss associated with such trade error from such counterparty. To the extent a trade error is caused by the Trading Advisor, a formalized process is in place for the documentation and resolution of such trade errors. Given the volume, diversity and complexity of transactions executed by the Trading Advisor on behalf of the Partnership, investors should assume that trade errors will occur on occasion. If such trade errors result in gains to the Partnership, such gains will generally be retained by the Partnership. However, if a trade error result in losses, they will be borne by the Trading Advisor in accordance with its internal policies unless otherwise determined by the General Partner.

Trading in OTC Markets Will Expose the Partnership to Risks Not Applicable to Trading on Organized Exchanges. The Partnership, through the Trading Company, may engage in OTC derivative transactions, such as: currency forward contracts traded in the interbank market; options on currency forward contracts; and swap transactions.

In general, there is much less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than of transactions entered into on organized exchanges. Most of the protections afforded to participants on U.S. and certain non-U.S. exchanges, such as daily price fluctuation limits and the performance guarantee of an exchange clearinghouse, will not be available in connection with OTC transactions. Consequently, the Partnership will be exposed to greater risk of loss through default than if it confined its trading to organized exchanges.

A portion of the Partnership’s assets may be traded in forward contracts. Such forward contracts are generally not traded on exchanges and are executed directly through forward contract dealers. However, certain forward currency exchange contracts are regulated as swaps by the CFTC and have begun being voluntarily traded on swap execution facilities. Some of these contracts may be required to be centrally cleared by a regulated U.S. clearinghouse, and may be required to be traded on a regulated exchange in the future. There is no limitation on the daily price moves of forward contracts, and a dealer is not required to continue to make markets in such contracts. There have been periods during which forward contract dealers have refused to quote prices for forward contracts or have quoted prices with an unusually wide spread between the bid and asked price. Arrangements to trade forward contracts may therefore experience liquidity problems. The Partnership therefore will be subject to the risk of credit failure or the inability of or refusal of a forward contract dealer to perform with respect to its forward contracts.

When trading currency forward contracts, the Trading Company may hedge the foreign currencies in order to limit the Trading Company’s exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. However, there is no guarantee that such hedging will be successful.

Enhanced Regulation of the OTC Derivatives Markets. The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR”) seeks comprehensively to regulate the OTC derivatives market in Europe including, in particular, imposing mandatory central clearing, trade reporting and, for non-centrally cleared trades, risk management obligations on counterparties. Similarly, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Reform Act”), enacted in July 2010, includes provisions that substantially increase the regulation of the OTC derivatives markets. The Reform Act requires that a substantial portion of OTC derivatives must be executed in regulated markets and be submitted for clearing to regulated clearinghouses, subject to margin requirements. OTC derivative dealers also are required to post margin to the clearinghouses through which they clear their customers’ trades instead of using such margin in their operations as was widely permitted before the Reform Act. Taken together, these regulatory developments have increased and will continue to increase the OTC derivative dealers’ costs, and these increased costs are generally passed through to other market participants in the form of higher upfront and mark-to-market margin, less favorable trade pricing, and the imposition of new or increased fees including clearing account maintenance fees.

The CFTC requires, and the SEC may in the future require, certain derivatives transactions that were previously executed on a bilateral basis in the OTC markets to be executed through a regulated futures or swap exchange or execution facility. Similarly, under EMIR, European regulators may require a substantial proportion of such derivatives transactions to be bought on exchange and/or centrally

6


 

cleared. Such requirements may make it more difficult and costly for investment funds, including the Partnership and/or the Trading Company, to enter into highly tailored or customized transactions. They may also render certain strategies in which the Partnership might otherwise engage impossible or so costly that they will no longer be economical to implement. The overall impact of EMIR and the Reform Act on the Partnership remains uncertain and it is unclear how the OTC derivatives markets will adapt to these new regulatory regimes.

Exchanges for Physicals/Swaps/Risk. While not a regular practice for the Trading Company, it may in rare instances engage in transactions known as exchanges for physicals (“EFP”), exchanges for swaps (“EFS”), or exchanges for risk/OTC derivatives (“EFR”). An EFP/EFS/EFR is a purchase or sale of a spot commodity/swap/derivative, as applicable, in conjunction with an offsetting sale or purchase of a corresponding futures contract involving the same or equivalent underlying commodity or instrument, without making an open and competitive trade for the futures contract on the exchange. EFPs, EFSs and EFRs are a permitted exception to the general requirement of the CEA that all futures contracts must be competitively executed on an exchange. They are permitted pursuant to the rules of the relevant exchanges, which vary from exchange to exchange. If the EFP, EFS or EFR does not comply with specific exchange requirements, particularly regarding possessing documentation evidencing possession of the underlying commodity or instrument, then the CFTC or the exchange may deem the transaction to be an illegal off-exchange futures contract. In addition, every EFP, EFS or EFR involves the transfer of an underlying commodity or entry into a swap or derivative on a bilateral basis, as applicable, with a counterparty in exchange for a related cleared futures contract. There is, therefore, counterparty credit risk if the counterparty or its clearing member on the futures leg fails to perform. Unlike other futures contracts that are deemed cleared by the clearinghouse upon trade matching or at the end of the business day, futures contracts arising out of EFPs, EFSs or EFRs may, under various clearinghouse rules, not be deemed accepted by the clearinghouse until the next business day.

Options on Futures Contracts May Be More Volatile Than Futures Contracts. The Trading Advisor may trade options on futures contracts. Options are speculative in nature and are highly leveraged. The purchaser of an option risks losing the entire purchase price of the option. The seller (writer) of an option risks losing the difference between the premium received for the option and the price of the underlying futures contract that the writer must purchase upon exercise of the option. Additionally, the seller and writer of the options lose any commissions and fees associated with such transactions. This could subject the writer to unlimited risk in the event of an increase in the price of the contract to be purchased or delivered. Successful trading of options on futures contracts requires a trader to accurately determine near-term market volatility because it often has an immediate impact on the price of outstanding options. Accurate determination of near-term volatility is more important to successful options trading than it is to long-term futures contract trading strategies because such volatility generally does not have as significant an effect on the prices of futures contracts.

Trading on Non-U.S. Exchanges and Markets Will Expose the Partnership to Risks Not Applicable to Trading on U.S. Exchanges and Markets. The Partnership, through the Trading Company, may engage in trading on non-U.S. exchanges and markets. The Partnership will be subject to the risk of fluctuations in the currency exchange rate between the local currency and the U.S. dollar and to the possibility of exchange controls. Trading on such exchanges and markets generally involves other risks not applicable to trading on U.S. exchanges and markets.

For example, such exchanges and markets:

may not provide the same assurances of the integrity (financial and otherwise) of the marketplace and its participants as do U.S. exchanges and markets;
may exercise less regulatory oversight and supervision over transactions and participants in transactions;
may not afford all participants an equal opportunity to execute trades;
may be subject to a variety of political influences and the possibility of direct governmental intervention;
may have different clearance and settlement procedures for transactions than U.S. exchanges and markets. There have been times when settlement procedures have been unable to keep pace with the volume of transactions on certain exchanges and markets, making it difficult to conduct trades; and
may be “principals’ markets” in which performance is the responsibility only of the member with whom the trader has dealt (the counterparty) rather than the responsibility of an exchange or clearing association. Each transaction on such an exchange or market may subject the Partnership to the risk of the counterparty’s credit failure or inability or refusal to perform its obligations.

Institutional Risks. Institutions, such as the banks and brokers, will have custody of the assets of the Partnership. These firms may encounter financial difficulties that impair the operating capabilities or the capital position of the Partnership, the Trading Company or the General Partner.

Counterparty Risk. The Partnership will be subject to the risk of the inability of counterparties to perform with respect to transactions, particularly uncleared swap and currency forward transactions, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other causes, which could subject the Partnership to substantial losses. In an effort to mitigate such risks, the General Partner and Trading Advisor will attempt to limit transactions to counterparties, which are established, well-capitalized and creditworthy.

Affiliated Parties — Conflicts of Interest. Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has the authority to engage trading advisors to make trading decisions for the Partnership. Since the Trading Advisor is an affiliate of the General Partner, the General Partner has a conflict of interest with respect to its responsibilities to manage the Partnership for the benefit of the Limited Partners, and to prevent violations of the Partnership’s trading policies and to monitor for excessive trading by the Trading Advisor. In addition, the General Partner has a conflict of interest with respect to its responsibility to review the trading performance of the Partnership and a disincentive to terminate the advisory relationship between the Trading Advisor and the Partnership. There have been no arm’s-length negotiations with respect to the management and incentive fees that the Trading Advisor will charge the Trading Company or with respect to the other terms of the advisory agreement entered into with the Trading Advisor.

MiFID II. Each of the European Union’s re-cast Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (2014/65/EU) (the “MiFID II Directive”), the delegated and implementing European Union (“EU”) regulations made thereunder, the laws and regulations introduced by Member States of the EU to implement the MiFID II Directive and the EU’s Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (600/2014) (“MiFIR” and, together with the MiFID II Directive, “MiFID II”) impose new regulatory obligations on the Trading Advisor. These regulatory obligations may impact on, and constrain the implementation of, the investment strategy of the Partnership and lead to increased compliance obligations upon and accrued expenses for the Trading Advisor and/or the Partnership.

Effects of Health Crises and Other Catastrophic Events. Health crises, such as pandemic and epidemic diseases, as well as other catastrophes such as natural disasters, war or civil disturbance, acts of terrorism, power outages and other unforeseeable and external events, that result in disrupted markets and/or interrupt the expected course of events, and public response to or fear of such crises or events, may have an adverse effect on the operations of and, where applicable, investments made by the Partnership and the Trading Company. For example, any preventative or protective actions taken by governments in response to such crises or events may result in periods of regional, national or international business disruption. Such actions may significantly disrupt the operations of the Partnership, the Trading Company, the General Partner and the other service providers to the Partnership. Further, the occurrence and duration of such crises or events could adversely affect economies and financial markets either in specific countries or worldwide. The impact of such crises or events could lead to negative consequences for the Partnership, including, without limitation, significant reduction in the Net Asset Value of the Partnership, reduced liquidity of the Partnership’s investments, restrictions on the ability of the Partnership to value its investments and the potential suspension of the calculation of Net Asset Value and the suspension of issues and/or redemptions of Interests.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

Not applicable.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Risk Management and Strategy. The General Partner has written plans, procedures and policies that govern the Partnership’s general information security program. The General Partner has a Risk and Control Self-Assessment (“RCSA”) framework to help identify, measure, monitor and report important operational risks faced by the General Partner. Man Group has a Cyber Incident Response Plan (“CIRP”) which dictates how the Partnership reviews and responds to security alerts, events and incidents. Pursuant to the written incident response plan, in the event of a cybersecurity incident, the security team first identifies the incident, triages, and responds. The General Partner’s compliance team is also notified of the cybersecurity incident and, in conjunction with the legal team, assists in incident remediation and determining the materiality. As applicable, RCSAs are filed with the General Partner’s operational risk team in order to keep the General Partner informed on cyber risks. Ultimately, an aggregate response to a cyber incident is reported to Man Group’s risk committees, creating awareness and consideration of the top risks and overall levels of risk exposure.

The operational risk team also has service provider monitoring in place in order to oversee and identify cybersecurity threats associated with the Partnership’s use of third-party service providers. Prior to onboarding, the Partnership conducts due diligence for key new third-party services providers. This involves a diligence questionnaire sent by a cybersecurity training company that is then reviewed by the Partnership. The training company also assess the Partnership’s security status during onboarding for services providers and, for critical suppliers, at regular intervals throughout the life of the supplier’s contract.

The Audit and Risk Committee (“ARCom”) of the board of directors of the General Partner’s parent entity, (the “Board”) is responsible for risk governance and management frameworks, determining risk strategy and ensuring that risk is monitored and controlled effectively. The risk management framework requires that the Partnership operates within acceptable risk tolerances, while risk governance provides a foundation for potential oversight in an evolving cyber environment. The ARCom meets quarterly to discuss cybersecurity risks and events and reports its findings to the Board. The chief information security officer presents to the ARCom quarterly, including providing incident reports for potentially material security incidents, and all Board members have the opportunity to ask questions. The full Board also discusses cybersecurity risks and events quarterly.

The General Partner uses both internal and external auditors for cybersecurity services. The General Partner maintains an Information Security Steering Committee chaired by Man Group’s chief information security officer (“CISO”) and which contains, among other members, Man Group’s chief technology officer (“CTO”). The CISO is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (“CISSP”) and has over a decade of experience in the fields of technology and security. The General Partner utilizes a Security Operations Center (“SOC”) model and annual reports to prevent, detect, and respond to cybersecurity incidents. The General Partner has regular cybersecurity audits conducted by KPMG. Further, the General Partner contracts third parties to perform quarterly phishing testing, annual penetration tests, and a bi-annual red team exercise. These exercises consist of virtual simulations of cybersecurity incidents in order to test the effectiveness of the General Partner’s cybersecurity protection program. The exercises also help prepare the General Partner and Partnership to sufficiently respond in the instance of cybersecurity incidents. The General Partner also has a dedicated

8


 

compliance function that focuses on the General Partner’s international operations in order to comply with international cybersecurity laws. The General Partner uses these processes as well as the RCSA and CIRP to stay informed about and monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents.

Employees are required to complete annual cybersecurity training. The training is updated periodically in order to stay up to date with current laws and was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2023. The General Partner models risks, including security risks, and allocates risk capital accordingly, and does not carry cyber insurance.

In the past, the Partnership has experienced actual and attempted cybersecurity events and incidents. While prior incidents have not materially affected the General Partner’s or the Partnership’s business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, and although the General Partner’s processes are designed to help prevent, detect, respond to, and mitigate the impact of such incidents, there is no guarantee that a future cyber incident would not materially affect the General Partner’s or the Partnership’s business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. To date, the General Partner has not identified any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected the General Partner, the Partnership, the General Partner’s business strategy, the Partnership’s results of operation or the Partnership’s financial conditions.

Breaches in Information Technology Security. The General Partner and the Trading Advisor maintain information technology systems, consisting of infrastructure, applications and communications networks to support the Partnership as well as its own business activities. These systems could be subject to security breaches such as ‘cyber-crime’ resulting in theft, a disruption in the Trading Advisor’s ability to close out positions and the disclosure or corruption of sensitive and confidential information. Security breaches may also result in misappropriation of assets and could create significant financial and/or legal exposure for the Partnership. The General Partner and the Trading Advisor seek to mitigate attacks on their own systems but will not be able to control directly the risks to third-party systems to which it may connect. Any breach in security of the General Partner’s or the Trading Advisor’s systems could have a material adverse effect on the General Partner or the Trading Advisor and may cause the Partnership to suffer, among other things, financial loss, the disruption of its business, liability to third parties, regulatory intervention or reputational damage.

Item 2. Properties.

The Partnership does not own or use any physical properties in the conduct of its business. The General Partner and various service providers perform services for the Partnership from their offices.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

The General Partner is not aware of any pending legal proceedings to which either the Partnership is a party or to which any of its assets are subject. In addition there are no pending material legal proceedings involving either the General Partner or Trading Advisor.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Reference is made to “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” The information contained therein is essential to, and should be read in conjunction with, the following analysis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Units may be offered for sale as of the first business day, and may be redeemed as of the last business day, of each month.

The Partnership raises additional capital only through the sale of Units and capital is increased through trading profits (if any) and interest income. The Partnership does not engage in borrowing. The Partnership, not being an operating company, does not incur capital expenditures. It functions solely as a passive trading vehicle, investing the substantial majority of its assets in the Trading Company. Its remaining capital resources are used only as assets available to make further investments in the Trading Company and to pay Partnership expenses. Accordingly, the amount of capital raised for the Partnership should not have a significant impact on its operations.

Partnership assets not invested in the Trading Company are maintained in cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts or accounts with The Bank of New York Mellon and are readily available to the Partnership. The Partnership may redeem any part or all of its limited partnership interest in the Trading Company at any month-end at the net asset value per unit of the Trading Company. The Trading Company’s assets are generally held as cash or cash equivalents which are used to margin futures and provide collateral for forward contracts and other OTC contract positions and are withdrawn, as necessary, to pay redemptions (to the Partnership and other investors in the Trading Company). Other than potential market-imposed limitations on liquidity, due, for example, to limited open interest in certain futures markets or to daily price fluctuation limits, which are inherent in the Trading Company’s futures trading, the Trading Company’s assets are highly liquid and are expected to remain so.

During its operations through December 31, 2023, the Partnership experienced no meaningful periods of illiquidity in any of the numerous markets in which it trades.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Partnership records its transactions in futures contracts, forward contracts and other derivatives, including related income and expenses, on a trade-date basis. Open futures contracts traded on an exchange are valued at fair value, which is based on the closing settlement price on the exchange where the futures contract is traded by the Partnership on the day with respect to which the Partnership’s Net Asset Value is being determined. Open forward contracts and other derivatives are valued at fair value using independent pricing services, which use market observable inputs in their valuations. If the General Partner determines the fair value of an investment cannot be accurately determined pursuant to the foregoing methods, such investment shall be assigned such fair value as the General Partner may determine in its sole discretion.

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, such as accrual of expenses, that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements. Based on the nature of the business and operations engaged in by the Partnership, the General Partner believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Partnership’s financial statements are appropriate and reasonable; however, actual results could differ from the estimates. The estimates do not provide a range of possible results that would require the exercise of subjective judgment. The General Partner further believes that, based on the nature of the business and operations of the Partnership, no other reasonable assumptions relating to the application of the Partnership’s critical accounting estimates other than those to be used would likely result in materially different amounts from those reported. The Partnership’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 2 to the Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

Due to the nature of the Partnership’s trading, the Partnership’s income or loss from operations may vary widely from period to period. Management cannot predict whether the Partnership’s future Net Asset Value per Unit will increase or experience a decline. The Partnership was organized in September 1997 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and commenced operations on April 3, 1998.

Performance Summary

The Partnership is a speculative managed futures fund which trades pursuant to the AHL Diversified Program, indirectly through its investment in the Trading Company. The AHL Diversified Program is a futures and forward OTC price trend-following, trading system. The AHL Diversified Program is entirely quantitative in nature and implements trading positions on the basis of statistical analyses of past price histories. The AHL Diversified Program, like most trend-following systems, is designed in the anticipation that most of its trades will be unprofitable; the objective of overall profitability depends on the system identifying certain major trends which occur and recognizing significant profits from participating in such trends.

The past performance of the AHL Diversified Program is not necessarily indicative of its future results. This is the case with all speculative trading strategies. Moreover, the markets in which the AHL Diversified Program is active have seen major changes in recent years, including the influx of entirely different classes of market participants. These changed circumstances may mean that the markets in which the Trading Advisor has previously traded on behalf of the Trading Company are not necessarily representative of those in which it trades on behalf of the Trading Company currently.

As a speculative futures fund, the Partnership (through the Trading Company) effectively maintains all of its capital in reserve. The Trading Company does not “buy” or “sell” futures or forward contracts in the traditional sense; rather, through taking positions in these markets, the Trading Company, and thus the Partnership indirectly, acquires loss/profit exposure and uses its capital to cover losses and provide margin (which constitutes a good faith deposit towards the Trading Company’s (but not the Partnership’s) obligation to pay such losses) to support its open positions. Each of the Partnership and the Trading Company maintains most of its capital in cash and cash equivalents.

Futures trading programs are proprietary and confidential. As is the case with any speculative futures fund, it is impossible to predict how the Partnership will perform. It is not possible, as it is in the case of an operating business, to predict performance trends, analyze future market conditions or evaluate the likely success or failure of the Partnership.

There are certain general market conditions in which the Partnership is more likely to be profitable than in others. For example, in trendless or stagnant markets, the AHL Diversified Program is unlikely to be profitable. On the other hand, trending markets with substantial price change momentum can be favorable to the AHL Diversified Trading Program. However, because of the continually changing population of market participants as well as supply and demand characteristics, it cannot be predicted how the AHL Diversified Program, and thus the Partnership, will perform in any given market conditions.

2023

Partner's capital decreased $9,250,710 for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was attributable to subscriptions in the amount of $ 1,570,000 , redemptions in the amount of $ 6,623,950 and net loss from operations of $4,196,760.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Partnership accrued or paid total expenses of $4,801,483, including $925,054 in servicing fees, $ 2,764,467 in General Partner administrative fees and Trading Advisor management fees, and $1,111,962 in other expenses. Interest of $4,448,208 was earned or accrued on the Partnership’s share of the Trading Company’s cash and cash equivalents and broker balances.

The Net Asset Value of a Class A-1 Unit decreased by $230.78 to $4,816.17. The Net Asset Value of a Class B-1 Unit decreased by $230.76 to $4,815.96. The Net Asset Value of a Class A-2 Unit decreased by $202.01 to $5,794.47 .

The Partnership’s equity trading in January was positive, due to gains from the Australian SPI 200 index. Nasdaq rose 11% after a -33% return in 2022, which did not benefit the Partnership’s short position. Losses were incurred via short in the Korean Kospi. In February, the Partnership’s equity trading was down due to long positions in the Australian SPI 200 and MSCI Emerging Markets indices. The trend continued in March as a long position in the FTSE 100 as well as a short in the Australian SPI 200 detracted from an equity standpoint. In April, the Partnership’s long positions were generally profitable, along with its short positioning in the VIX volatility index, with long positions in MSCI Taiwan and India’s Nifty index generating offsetting losses. In May, the Partnership’s equity trading was profitable, with the Nikkei as the most profitable, and the Partnership’s position in the Taiwan MSCI also performing well. In June, front-end positions had the best returns, including SONIA and SOFR rates. Taiwan’s MSCI performed well, along with longs in Japanese stock indices, while losses were incurred in trading the Hang Seng and H-Shares Index. In July, equity trading incurred gains from longs in the S&P500, Italian and Taiwanese indices, overcoming losses from shorts in the Hang Seng and H-Shares Index. The Partnership’s equity trading registered a loss in August, with shorts in the MSCI Singapore and MSCI EM indices generated a share of such losses. In September, the Taiwan MSCI index suffered a loss, while shorts in the MSCI EM and Hang Seng indices gained. The Partnership began October net short equities, generating gains from a short in the Korean Kospi index. A short in the Korean Kospi benefitted when the index fell. In November, gains from the Partnership’s short position in FTSE China A50 were offset by losses in its positions in the Korean Kospi and MSCI EM index. The Partnership ended the year in December with a net long positioning in stocks, bringing in gains as globally stocks finished the year strong.

In January, several of the Partnership’s short positions, such as Italian and Australian government bond futures, flipped to long, incurring losses in the process. In February, the aggregate short position benefitted, though the greatest beneficiaries were US instruments at the 3m, 2y, and 5-year points. Canadian bonds and the US 5 year treasury generated losses in fixed income trading in March, as all markets were contributed negatively. In April, the Partnership’s small and varied positions in bonds detracted over the month as well. Losses continued into May as European bonds rallied sharply, leading to losses from a short Italian government bond position. The Partnership incurred positive returns in June with fixed income trading turning in the best performance over the month from shorts. US Treasuries out to the 10-year point performed best, though there were offsetting losses trading French and German bonds. In July, fixed income trading generated losses. Longs in the Italian 10 year bond detracted the most, while shorts in US and Canadian instruments attributed positively. Trading in fixed income was flat in August. Primarily short positions were beneficial in the first half of August, most notably in long-dated US treasuries which remained beneficial overall. Positioning in Italian 10-year government future bonds was long at the start of the month and was hurt by the inflation data in Europe. In September, the Partnership’s short positions in fixed income, particularly in longer-dated US bonds and Italian bonds were profitable. A short in 3-month Sonia was the sole detractor. In October, the Partnership’s bond exposure was short and stable, with Australian bonds topping the table. Short positions in European bonds from Italy and Germany contributed losses. In November, the Partnership’s short positioning in bonds generated losses as market moves went against positioning. Losses were greatest across tenors in US futures, though there were also losses from shorts in Australia and Italy. In December, the Partnership’s aggregate positioning in bonds moved from flat to long as the month progressed, rewarding the Partnership as yields compressed. Italian bonds performed best, while Australian and long-dated US instruments were slower to move from short to long and incurred small losses.

In January, the US dollar continued to fall from its peak in November 2022. This trend was picked up through long positions in commodity currencies, primarily the Mexican and Chilean pesos. Short positions in the Colombian peso and Israeli shekel against the US dollar generated losses. Trading in currencies generated a positive return for the month of February. However, a long position in the UK 10 year gilts generated a loss. The Partnership produced a gain from long US dollar currency crosses as the US dollar rose. Top performers in February included the Swiss franc and the Israeli shekel. Short dollar positions against the Euro and Singapore dollar generated losses. Currency trading in March was mixed, with an overall net loss. Short positions in safe-haven currencies, including the Swiss franc and Japanese yen, generated losses. A long Euro against the Norwegian krone, as well as a long Chilean peso against the US dollar generated modest gains. In April, the Partnership’s FX trading saw profitable short positions in the Japanese yen against the Euro and British pound and losses from its mixed positions in the Swiss franc and Canadian dollar against the US dollar. The Partnership’s FX trading turned in the strongest performance over the month of May, most notably long US dollar crosses as markets perceived possibly more rate rises from the Fed. The Chinese renminbi and Norwegian krone were standouts, while a trade in the Euro against the US dollar lost out as the position flipped from long to short. Trading in fixed income was also profitable for the Partnership, most notably from shorts in 3m Sonia and UK Gilts. In June, there was a positive return. Currency trading maintained strong, as the Partnership’s long position in the Mexican Peso against the US dollar proved profitable. Longs in the British pound against the Japanese yen also generated gains. Losses were incurred in trades on the Australian dollar. However, in July, currencies detracted the most. Shorts in the Japanese yen against US dollar, Australian dollar and Euro crosses were the main culprits as the currency advanced. In general, long US dollar crosses such as those against the Swiss franc and South Korean won generated losses, while short crosses against commodity currencies such as the Mexican and Colombian pesos generated gains. In August, currency trading was beneficial, particularly from pairs featuring a long US dollar position. The Australian dollar fell relative to the US dollar, generating gains for the Partnership. A long position in the Brazilian real generated losses. The Partnership saw a mix of gains and losses in the month of September, with gains from a short Swiss franc position against the US dollar and offsetting losses from long positions in the Sterling

against the Japanese Yen, the Australian dollar and US dollar. In October, the Partnership’s broad long US dollar position against a wide basket of currencies, including the Israeli Shekel, the Canadian Dollar and the Japanese Yen was profitable. Long positions in emerging market currencies such as the Mexican and Colombian Pesos detracted from the Partnership’s gains. November saw losses in the Partnership’s net long US dollar position against currencies such as the South Korean won, Swiss franc, and Japanese yen. Short positions in the US dollar against commodity currencies, for example, the Brazilian real and Mexican peso, provided small offsetting gains. The year ended with a slight downturn in currencies, with losses driven by pairs with long US dollar crosses. This affected the Japanese yen in particular. Longer positions in commodity currencies, such as the Colombian pesos, against the US dollar were profitable.

In January, the Partnership generated a positive return with gains in commodities. Profits in commodity trading originated mostly from energy and metals, specifically China’s long copper and gold positions. The price of natural gas fell on both sides of the Atlantic, and profited the Partnership. Short positions in coffee and platinum generated small losses. In February, the Partnership suffered losses from commodities. Losses in commodities were driven by metals, most notably longs in precious metals, and gold. Losses from generally short positions in the oil complex led to an overall negative return in energies. Gains were generated in agricultural trading, led by a short in wheat. In March, a silver position generated a loss as it flipped from short to long. Prices of EUA carbon emissions fell, along with risk assets, generating losses for the Partnership’s long position. Sugar trading was beneficia, as prices hit a 10-year high. Trading in commodities was mixed in April. Agricultural, in particular a long position in sugar, were the standout, while volatile oil prices were detrimental to the Partnership’s positions in oil. Trading in metals was positive, with profits generated from a short zinc position, while a long in copper detracted. In May, all sub-components of the Partnership’s commodities trading were beneficial. Prices across the soy complex fell, benefitting the Partnership’s short positioning, while a long sugar position lost out as prices fell. Energies notched up a small gain in aggregate, benefitting from a US natural gas short. Within metals, long precious positions detracted from the Partnership’s returns. In June, the Partnership suffered losses, primarily due to energies. Metals and agricultural trading also experienced difficulties, with copper and soybean prices in particular suffering significant reversals. Gains were accrued from a cocoa long. Commodity markets were mixed in July. Metals trading generated losses, with Aluminum in particular bouncing off a multi-month low. Trading in agricultural was flat, with gains from long cocoa positions offsetting losses from short corn. Energies represented the sole gain as longs in the crude complex generated gains for the Partnership. Commodity trading was difficult in August, as observed in metals, where silver positioning whipsawed, and US natural gas prices were volatile. However, gains were made in agricultural through cocoa longs and wheat shorts. By September, commodity gains were dominated by long oil positions, both Brent and WTI crude. Metals was slightly lower, as losses in aluminum and zinc shorts outweighed gains short nickel positions. Within agricultural, long sugar positions generated a gain while long cocoa lost out. Commodities trading was difficult in all sub-sectors in October. Oil was volatile, leading to losses from long positions. Gold spiked, reversing its multi-month downward trend. In the aggregate, there were losses in agricultural commodities, but the standout positive performer was a long in cocoa. In November, short US natural gas positions profited along with the Partnership’s long position in cocoa, though offsetting losses came from a short position in copper. Commodities trading finished the year in December with losses. Metals were the worst performer, with silver being the worst individual performer. Trading in agricultural was broadly flat.

Credit spreads narrowed over the month of January, benefitting short protection CDS positions in US investment-grade and European higher-yielding indices. There were no offsetting profitable fixed income positions in January. The Partnership generated a positive return with gains from credit. Fixed income prices rallied in January on expectations that central banks may ease their rate-hiking plans. In February, trading in credit suffered losses in US CDS indices overcoming smaller gains in European indices. Risk-on positions in CDS indices were hurt in March, with European and US investment-grade companies in the crosshairs. A decline of 61bp on 13th of March for US 2-year Treasury yields was the largest decline in over 40 years and was detrimental to a short in the instrument and indeed all other tenors of US treasuries traded by the Partnership. Credit trading was slightly positive for the Partnership in April. In May, the Partnership generated a positive return net of fees with gains generated across all asset classes. However, the Partnership’s credit trading was flat for May. In June, the credit trading generated a positive return. Credit spreads tightened, resulting in small gains for the Partnership’s long credit positions. In July, long credit positions in Europe across both investment grade and high-yield names, implemented via short CDS indices, generated losses. July was positive for the Partnership’s risk assets, with key US indices delivering their fifth successive positive month. Long credit positions generated losses in August and September. Credit positions flipped from long to short as October progressed, leading to a loss in aggregate, with European investment-grade and crossover indices suffering most. In November, the Partnership’s credit position migrated from short to long early in the month, and generated net gains, primarily in European investment grade and high-yield indices. The Partnership’s long credit positioning in December generated gains.

2022

Net assets increased $7,800,168 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was attributable to subscriptions in the amount of $2,352,800, redemptions in the amount of $7,685,154 and net income from operations of $13,132,522.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Partnership accrued or paid total expenses of $4,824,641, including $979,160 in servicing fees, $2,925,061 in General Partner administrative fees and Trading Advisor management fees, and $920,420 in other expenses. and interest of $1,367,524 was earned or accrued on the Partnership’s share of the Trading Company’s cash and cash equivalents and broker balances.

The Net Asset Value of a Class A Unit increased by $644.12 to $5,046.95. The Net Asset Value of a Class B Unit increased by $644.08 to $5,046.72. The Net Asset Value of a Class A-2 Unit increased by $830.46 to $5,996.48.

The Partnership’s equity trading in January was marginally positive, as gains were accrued from longs in North American capital goods, and Taiwanese indices. A short position in the VIX volatility index, on the other hand, caused losses as the index spiked in the final few days. The Partnership’s equity trading also finished February in positive territory, with the Partnership’s positions in the S&P TSX 60 and Nikkei futures being top performers. In March, the Partnership’s gains in equity trading was led by its dominantly long equity positions,

15


 

as well as its positions in Sweden’s OM index and Germany’s Dax indices. A short VIX volatility position was also beneficial as, as were long credit positions particularly in Europe. In April, positive overall performance in equities was topped by longs in Australia’s SPI 200 and Taiwan’s MSCI indices. Longs in the Japan’s TSE index marginally detracted. Credit spreads also tightened, with gains dominated by short CDS positions in US indices. However, in May, trading in equities finished slightly down. Top performer was a long in the Canadian TSX index, spurred by rising commodities, while longs in Taiwanese indices generated losses as the rise in prices due to a global semiconductor shortage took a breather. Equities’ path through June was much smoother than currencies and bonds, and the Partnership’s long position in the Australian SPI 200 benefited. Bullishness for risk assets also fed into the Partnership’s credit positions, with gains being made across the board, most notably European 5y Crossover. Although many equity indices ended July in positive territory, their route was impeded mid-month in part by coronavirus worries. Overall in July, net long positioning led to negative performance for the asset class, led by the MSCI EM and Russell 2000 indices, although there were pockets of strength in trading the Swedish OM and NASDAQ 100 indices. In August, several key benchmarks such as the S&P 500 hit fresh all-time highs. This benefitted dominantly long positions in the Partnership, with India’s Nifty Index as the top performer. A long in the Singapore MSCI Index, on the other hand, lost out on Covid-19 Delta variant concerns and negative pressure on Asian technology stocks. In September, the macro-economic environment had its greatest impact on the Partnership’s generally risk-on positioning in equities, and the effect was compounded by sector rotation. Worst performers were longs in the Australian SPI 200 and S&P 500 indices, while smaller gains were made in long Tokyo stock exchange and Nifty indices. More mixed positioning in equities in October resulted in a slight gain on the month. Positive returns from shorts in Chinese indices and Hang Seng were able to offset by losses from shorts in the S&P 500 and Russell 2000. In November, trading in equities was flat. Asian indices rebounded particularly strongly with the news of China moving away from its zero Covid policy, and the Hang Seng’s 27% rise hurt the Partnership’s small short position. On the positive side, gains were made from a long in the Euro-STOXX and short in the VIX volatility index. December’s losses in equity markets were against the grain of the previous two months which were, in fact, the only two consecutive up-months in 2022. This countertrend move hurt the Partnership’s predominantly long positions. The worst hit were Asia and Asia-Pacific indices, notably in Australia, Taiwan and Japan.

In January, yields across developed markets generally rose on the month. US bond yields breached 1%, hurting the Partnership’s broadly long positions in US bonds, which more than offset the gains posted in its short position in long-dated bonds. Fixed income generated a positive return as positioning shifted from net long to net short mid-way through the month of February. Top performers were shorts in German bunds and Australian 10-year bonds, while losses were led by Italian 10-year bonds which switched positions from long to short as the month progressed. In March, fixed income trading generated a small positive return, as gains from short positions in 10y and 30y US treasuries offset losses from short positions in German 5y and 10y bonds. Fixed income yields in April took a respite from their recent rising theme, which resulted in a slight loss from the Partnership’s small aggregate short positions. Losses were dominated by Canadian and US instruments, while small gains were made in their European counterparts. In May, a combination of little movement in fixed income yields and low bond risk levels meant that trading in the asset class was subdued. Overall there was a loss, with gains from US 2yr and 5yr treasuries being slightly offset by losses from shorts in UK and longs in Canadian bonds. In June, long positions in U.S. bond markets long-dated futures made small gains, while short positions in 2- and 5-year futures lost out. A long position in the Eurodollar also contributed to losses. However, in July, bond markets did not encounter a sell-off, even with the additional news of consumer price inflation in the US hitting its highest levels since 2008. Dominantly long fixed income positions were top performers for the Partnership. Italian, German, and French 10-year bonds topped the list for the asset class while losses were incurred from positions in German and US 2-year bonds amid spikes in the number of coronavirus cases. Fixed income positions detracted in August amidst overall subdued price moves. European bonds fared worst, with German, French, and Italian bonds all selling-off to the detriment of the Partnership’s long positions, while a long in Australian 10-year bonds generated a small profit. In September, long positions in Italian bonds caused the greatest losses, although there were small offsetting gains from a short in the UK 10-year gilts. Rising US bond yields helped provide a tailwind to the US dollar. In October, trading in fixed income instruments tipped into the black overall with no real direction to markets. US yields generally rose, leading to profits from short positions across the Treasury curve. Shorts in Italian government bonds, on the other hand, generated a loss, as did shorts in UK gilts which were impacted by volatility surrounding the regime change in the UK government. Within short-term rates, patterns were similar, with US shorts generating a profit while UK sterling shorts lost out. The prospect of fewer rate rises to combat inflation sent fixed income yields lower, generating losses for the Partnership’s dominantly short positions in November. The worst offenders were long-dated US Treasuries. In December, ECB President Lagarde’s comment, “Anybody who thinks this is a pivot from the ECB is wrong”, dashed the hopes of dovish bond investors, sending yields of European bonds higher and resulted in gains for short positions in German bonds in particular. The Bank of Japan’s decision to double the effective yield cap on 10y Japanese government bonds, on the other hand, caught the Partnership’s small long position off-guard.

In January, a bounce in the US dollar versus a basket of currencies representing the United States’ trading partners hurt the Partnership’s short positions in the US dollar, particularly in such positions against the South African rand and Japanese yen. Longs in the Chinese renminbi and Indian rupee made token gains. Additionally, in February, the majority of the Partnership’s losses on the month were generated in its FX trading, though such losses were mild. Long Australian dollar positions versus both the US dollar and Japanese yen performed well along with long in the Swiss franc versus the US dollar; none of those gains were enough to offset the losses from long positions in the Indian rupee, EURO Mexican Peso and Japanese yen against the US dollar. However, in March, FX was fruitful for the Partnership, with short positions in the Swiss franc and Japanese yen against the US dollar, as well as a short position in the Euro against the Canadian dollar, the top performers. Some losses were seen in the Partnership’s long positions against the dollar in the Euro and UK Stirling, as well as a flat position in the Turkish Lira. In April, losses in FX trading were small in aggregate, and individual gains or losses depended broadly on positioning against the US dollar. Long positions in the greenback against the Swiss franc and New Zealand dollar were worst hit as the US Federal Reserve struck a dovish tone and US Treasury yields declined. Similar reasoning played out well for US dollar shorts against the Euro and Canadian dollar. Currencies was a fertile trading ground for the Partnership in May. Rising risk appetite in markets led to rising EM FX rates in general, with the primary beneficiary in the Partnership being the South African rand. Confidence in the British pound continued as Brexit recedes further into the rear-view mirror and vaccination success continues to be newsworthy, leading to gains against the US dollar and the Japanese yen. Losses were incurred from short positions in the Chilean peso and New Zealand dollar against the greenback. In June, currency trading was hardest hit by the perceived more hawkish tone from the Fed, with losses experienced in a number of positions as the US dollar spiked. Worst offenders were euro and Canadian dollar longs versus the greenback, although a similar position in the Brazilian real profited as the country hiked rates by 75bp. Trading in currencies finished July in the red, with losses predominantly from a long Brazilian real position against the US

16


 

dollar driven in part by corruption scandals involving President Jair Bolsonaro. Offsetting this loss, however, were gains made through shorts in the Australian dollar against both the greenback and Great British pound as major cities such as Sydney and Melbourne went into lockdown. In August, FX trading finished the month in the red and there were few significant gains or losses. A long position in the Mexican peso against the US dollar lost out mid-month despite the Banco de Mexico raising rates. A long position in the Indian rupee against the greenback, on the other hand, gained towards the end of the month. In September, the Mexican peso declined against the greenback despite the Banco de Mexico raising rates for the third time this year, generating the asset class’s biggest loss in the Partnership. A short in the Swiss franc, on the other hand, was beneficial. In October, currencies trading generated a gain overall as the DXY dollar index declined on the month on resurgent risk assets. The Mexican peso continued its strong run against the greenback, resulting in a gain for the Partnership’s long position. However, losses were experienced from long dollar positions against the Singapore dollar and Euro, for example. FX trading was the greatest detractor from the Partnership’s November performance. These losses were most apparent in Asian currency crosses, most notably the South Korean won and Chinese Renminbi. A long position in the Mexican Peso against the greenback was the biggest gainer on the month. In December, currency trading finished the month down. Gains were generated in pairs featuring short US dollar positions, in particular European currencies such as the Euro and Polish zloty. One exception was the Israeli Shekel which depreciated versus the greenback, benefitting the Partnership’s short position. On the debit side, long positions in the Australian dollar, UK sterling and Euro all lost out against the Japanese yen as the currency chalked up its largest daily gain this century in response to the BoJ’s change in yield curve policy.

Commodities were the bright spot for the Partnership in January. Long soyabeans and corn were the top contributors to the Partnership’s gains, as well as crude oil, which Crude oil also rose over 7% on the month, benefitting the Partnership’s long positions. Similarly, in February, long commodity positions were top performers for the Partnership as crude oil rose almost 20% and sugar rose 10% on the month, and the Partnership’s copper position was the top performer in the entire portfolio rising 15%. These gains were more than enough to offset the Partnership’s losses from a short position in natural gas. Reversing course from February, the Partnership’s commodities trading ended March down. The Partnership’s long positions, most notably in agricultural commodities such as cocoa and sugar, and metals such as nickel, posted the largest losses, while small offsetting gains were made in individual markets such as lean hogs and palladium. In April, long commodity positions continued to make hay as economic optimism lifted and talk of inflation in earnings calls increased, although long positions in coffee and gold made losses. In May, long positions in crude and the oil complex were broadly gainful, as was a long position in carbon emissions whose year-to-date gain as of May was just shy of 60%. In metals the story was similarly positive. In addition to copper, long positions in silver, aluminum and gold were profitable. The main detractor in the commodities complex was a long in wheat, which retraced half of April’s 20% gain. Commodity performance was mixed in June. Long positions in agricultural and metals suffered, particularly soybean, copper and precious metals holdings. Prices in the energy complex, on the other hand, continued their ongoing rally. Nowhere was this more apparent than in gas markets on both sides of the Atlantic. Indeed, the long in US natural gas ended the month as the top performer across the Partnership. In July, the price of natural gas continued its recent upward trajectory on tight supply and increasing demand. The prices of natural gas in the US and in the UK/EU extended their rise, spurred in part by forecasts of above normal temperatures in central USA regions, and generated the greatest returns for the Partnership. Long coffee positions were also beneficial, with prices at seven-year highs amid extreme weather in Brazil, the world’s biggest coffee exporter. Prices of sugar and corn, on the other hand, were rangebound and led to losses. August saw marked dispersion across the commodity spectrum. Natural gas prices continued to rally; in the US, one reason cited was a low inventory forecast for the beginning of the winter heating season by the Energy Information Administration, while in Europe there was news that Russia was pumping less gas to the continent. Whatever the reason, profits resulted for the Partnership’s long positions. The oil complex, on the other hand, deviated from its previously strong 2021 performance, declining on concerns of slowing demand in China and the rise of the Covid-19 Delta variant, and incurred losses. In commodities, a long sugar position generated a gain on reports of a frost in Brazil, the world’s top producer, while a long copper position generated a loss. In September, commodities was the only asset class to maintain its recent direction of travel, and once again it was the energies sub-component that generated the greatest attention. Trading in US natural gas generated the greatest gains for the Partnership as prices rose to seven-year highs, propelled by surging demand. A long copper position generated a loss as prices fell 6% on the month. Commodities trading finished October with losses from all three sub-sectors. Trading in oil dipped into the red amidst mixed positioning as the price of the complex broadly rose. Carbon emissions prices were also volatile, resulting in losses, and short positions in silver also lost out on rangebound prices. Small gains were made from positions in live cattle, zinc and Dutch natural gas. In November, within the commodities complex, trading in metals and energies generated losses while agricultural was flat. Short positions in gold and silver were caught off guard by the low CPI print. Positioning in energy markets was mixed over the month with the largest detractor being US natural gas. Within agricultural returns were mixed with gains coming from short wheat and long soybeans positions. Prices across the soy complex rose in December as demand from a re-opening of China, the world’s largest buyer, was coupled with dry conditions in supplier countries in South America. The Partnership saw gains in soymeal and soybeans as a result, but losses from soyoil. Energy trading lost out overall as gains from short European gas positions were more than offset by losses in gasoline, gas oil, and carbon emissions.

Credit trading dipped into the red towards the end of January as short CDS positions in European high-yield and US investment grade names posted losses. In February, the Partnership’s credit trading was slightly lower on the month, as short CDS positions in US high yield names generated a small gain while similar positioning in US investment names generated a marginally larger loss. In March, long credit positions particularly in Europe were beneficial to the Partnership. In April, credit spreads also tightened, with gains dominated by short CDS positions in US indices. Similarly, in May, credit trading resulted in a small gain. Bullishness for risk assets also fed into the Partnership’s credit positions in June, with gains being made across the board, most notably European 5y Crossover. Credit trading finished July down. In August, credit spreads also tightened over the month, benefitting long credit positions, most notably the US investment grade CDS index. In September, losses were seen in the Partnership’s long credit positions, most notably in the US. Government bond yields, which rose for the second month running. The “dot plots” may have given an indication of the timing of future rises in the US, but elsewhere - Czech Republic for example - actual rises in interest rates came in ahead of market expectations. In October, short positioning in credit at the start of the month transitioned to long as risk assets rallied, resulting in losses across most indices traded by the Partnership. However, trading in credit proved a welcome bright spot for the asset class in November after a difficult year. Positions were broadly short CDS when the CPI news emerged, and hence gains were generated as risk assets rallied. Top performers were in US investment grade and European crossover indices. There were no meaningful detractors. In December, long credit positions also generated losses, with US investment grade and high yield indices affected worst.

The Partnership’s equity trading opened the year marginally positive, as gains accrued from longs in North American capital goods and Taiwanese indices, offsetting losses from a short position in the VIX volatility index. Continuing the trend the partnership experienced strong equity performance in February and March, with positions in the S&P TSX 60 and Nikkei futures being top performers February and long equity positions as well as positions in Sweden’s OM index and Germany’s Dax indices leading the way in March. A short VIX volatility position was also beneficial in March. To start the second quarter, April saw positive overall performance in equities, topped by longs in Australia’s SPI 200 and Taiwan’s MSCI indices, while longs in the Japan’s TSE index marginally detracted. In May, trading in equities finished slightly down, as longs in Taiwanese indices generated losses to offset gains from a long in the Canadian TSX index. In June, the Partnership’s long position in the Australian SPI 200 was a top performer. Although many equity indices ended July in positive territory, overall, net long positioning led to negative performance for the asset class, led by the MSCI EM and Russell 2000 indices, although there were pockets of strength in trading the Swedish OM and NASDAQ 100 indices. In August, the Partnership’s dominantly long positions were profitable, lead by a position in India’s Nifty Index, while a long in the Singapore MSCI Index was down. In September, the Partnership’s equity positions were down, with the worst performers being longs in the Australian SPI 200 and S&P 500 indices, while smaller gains were made in long Tokyo stock exchange and Nifty indices. To start the third quarter, long positions in the S&P 500 and Toronto Stock Exchange 60 indices did best for the Partnership, while Japanese indices such as the Nikkei 225 underperformed. In November, a sell-off in equities towards the end of the month hurt the Partnership’s dominantly long positioning. Worst affected were longs in the MSCI EAFE and the Singapore MSCI Index which lost almost 7% on the month. December saw equities shrug off their November Omicron coronavirus variant woes with the S&P 500, for example, hitting an all-time high. Top performers were longs in Taiwan’s MSCI index alongside Canada’s S&P TSX 60 index. FTSE China A50 index futures attributed negatively on the month.

The Partnership’s fixed income trading opened 2021 by posting a loss, driven by the Partnership’s broadly long positions in US bonds, which more than offset the gains posted in its short position in long-dated bonds. In February, fixed income positions generated a positive return as positioning shifted from net long to net short mid-way through the month, with top performers being shorts in German bunds and Australian 10-year bonds, while losses were led by Italian 10-year bonds which switched positions from long to short as the month progressed. A small positive return was seen in March, as gains from short positions in 10y and 30y US treasuries offset losses from short positions in German 5y and 10y bonds. The start to the second quarter small aggregate losses were dominated by Canadian and US instruments, while small gains were made in their European counterparts. Similarly, in May and June, the Partnership experienced losses, with gains from US 2yr and 5yr treasuries being slightly offset by losses from shorts in UK and longs in Canadian bonds, and long positions in long-dated futures making small gains, while short positions in 2- and 5-year futures losing out, respectively. The trend changed course in July, as dominantly long fixed income positions were top performers for the Partnership, led by positions in Italian, German, and French 10-year bonds. Fixed income positions detracted in August; European bonds fared the worst, with German, French, and Italian bonds all selling-off to the detriment of the Partnership’s long positions, while a long in Australian 10-year bonds generated a small profit. The losing trend continued to finish out the third quarter, as losses were seen in the Partnership’s long US. Government positions, though long positions in Italian bonds caused the greatest losses. In October, gains in fixed income were predominantly driven by shorts: Australian bond short positions benefitted, as did short positions in Euribor and Short Sterling, though trading ended in the red with losses from short positions in long-dated bonds in the US. November saw plenty of volatility in fixed income markets, as shorts in Italian and Australian 10-year bonds posted losses, while a long position in longer-dated German bond futures provided a small offsetting gain. To end the year, December saw long positions in German bonds and a short position in Italian 10-year bonds generate losses that offset marginal gains in a position in Canadian 10y bonds.

The Partnership’s currency trading started the year down in January, when the Partnership’s short positions in the US dollar against the South African rand and Japanese yen were down, and longs in the Chinese renminbi and Indian rupee only made token gains. The losses continued in February, as long Australian dollar positions versus both the US dollar and Japanese yen and long positions in the Swiss franc versus the US dollar mitigated some losses from long positions in the Indian rupee, EURO Mexican Peso and Japanese yen against the US dollar, though FX trading turned a corner in March to finish the first quarter up, with short positions in the Swiss franc and Japanese yen against the US dollar, as well as a short position in the Euro against the Canadian dollar, the top performers. April’s losses in FX trading were small in aggregate, as long positions in the greenback against the Swiss franc and New Zealand dollar outweighed profitable US dollar shorts against the Euro and Canadian dollar. In May, FX took a profitable turn, and the Partnership’s position in the South African rand lead gains, which were bolstered by gains in the British pound against the US dollar and the Japanese yen. June saw currency trading take a hard hit, with losses experienced in a number of positions as the US dollar spiked. Worst offenders were euro and Canadian dollar longs versus the greenback, although a similar position in the Brazilian real profited as the country hiked rates by 75bp. Over the third quarter, FX trading posted losses each month. In July, losses came predominantly from a long Brazilian real position against the US dollar, which were not offset from gains made through shorts in the Australian dollar against both the greenback and Great British pound. In August, a long position in the Mexican peso against the US dollar lost out mid-month, and a long position in the Indian rupee against the greenback, on the other hand, gained towards the end of the month. To finish out the quarter, in September, gains from the Partnership’s short position in the Swiss franc could not offset large losses as the Mexican peso

declined against the US dollar. For the last quarter of the year, the Partnership’s FX positions were profitable in October, with a short in the Japanese yen versus the US dollar leading the way, though shorts in the Swiss franc and Norwegian krone against the US dollar generated losses. In November, the Partnership saw the FX trading post losses, with the worst performing currency pair being a long Canadian dollar versus US dollar, while a short Norwegian krone position, also against the greenback, generated a gain. Finally, to finish the year, the Partnership’s short emerging-market and commodity currency positions against the US dollar did not fair too well, with the worst performers being the Australian dollar and Mexican peso (both against the US dollar), while a short Japanese yen, also against the greenback, generated a small offsetting gain.

Commodities were the bright spot for the Partnership in January. Long soyabeans and corn were the top contributors to the Partnership’s gains, as well as crude oil, which rose over 7% on the month, benefitting the Partnership’s long positions. Similarly in February, commodity positions were top performers for the Partnership as crude oil rose almost 20% and sugar rose 10% on the month, and the Partnership’s copper position was the top performer in the entire portfolio rising 15%, offsetting losses from a short position in natural gas. Reversing course from February, the Partnership’s commodities trading ended March down as the Partnership’s long positions, most notably in agricultural commodities such as cocoa and sugar, and metals such as nickel, posted the largest losses, while small offsetting gains were made in individual markets such as lean hogs and palladium. In April, long commodity positions continued their gains, although long positions in coffee and gold made losses. May similarly saw gains in long positions in crude and oil, carbon emissions, metals such as copper, silver, aluminum and gold. The main detractor in the commodities complex was a long in wheat, which retraced half of April’s 20% gain. In June, commodity performance was mixed, as long positions in agricultural and metals suffered, particularly soybean, copper and precious metals holdings. Prices in the energy complex, on the other hand, continued their ongoing rally, and a long in US natural gas ended the month as the top performer across the Partnership. July’s top performer overall was the Partnership’s positions in natural gas, and long coffee positions also provide gains to offset losses in sugar and corn. August again saw profits in the Partnership’s long positions in natural gas, though the positions in the oil complex incurred losses. That same month, the Partnership’s sugar position generated a gain, while a long copper position generated a loss. In September, commodities was the only asset class to maintain its recent direction of travel, and once again it was the energies sub-component that generated the greatest attention. Trading in US natural gas generated the greatest gains for the Partnership as prices rose to seven-year highs, propelled by surging demand. A long copper position generated a loss as prices fell 6% on the month. October continued to see gains in commodities trading, where energies generated a positive return, mainly through shorts in German power and longs in the oil complex with WTI crude, for example, rising 11%. Long positions in US natural gas lost out as prices fell by 7% after September’s 34% rise. Trading in agricultural commodities scraped into the black while metals trading was detrimental in aggregate, particularly from gold and silver. In November, the Partnership’s long positions across the crude complex saw losses, as well as its long gold position, while a gain was made from a long coffee position. Long commodity positions also generated gains in aggregate in December, led by positions in energy and corn. A short silver position was loss-generating as the price of the precious metal remained rangebound.

The first two months of the first quarter saw mostly losses for the Partnership’s credit trading, as short CDS positions in European high-yield and US investment grade names posted losses in January and short CDS positions in US high yield names generated a small gain while similar positioning in US investment names generated a marginally larger loss in February. This trend reversed in March, as long credit positions in Europe saw gains. To start the second quarter, credit spreads tightened, and gains were dominated by short CDS positions in US indices. In May, these gains continued, and the Partnership saw a small gain from its credit positions, which continued into June as bullishness for risk assets also fed into the Partnership’s credit positions, with gains being made across the board, most notably European 5y Crossover. In July, credit trading finished the month down, though reversed course in August as credit spreads tightened over the month, benefitting long credit positions, most notably the US investment grade CDS index. In the fourth quarter, credit trading finished October in the red, with a long credit position in the European 5y Crossover iTraxx index the worst performer. This continued into November, where losses were seen across all of the Partnership’s long credit positions. To end the year, the Partnership’s credit trading made back some gains with its long credit positions, most notably in US high yield and investment grade indices.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Introduction

Past Results Are Not Necessarily Indicative of Future Performance

The Partnership is a speculative commodity pool. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnership’s main line of business.

Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Partnership’s open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Partnership’s market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Partnership’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.

The Partnership can rapidly acquire and/or liquidate both long and short positions in a wide range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future market scenario will affect performance, and the Partnership’s past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.

Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Partnership of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership’s experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing as well as the risks and

19


 

uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification included in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s attempts to manage its market risk.

Materiality, as used in this section “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account the leverage, optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership’s market sensitive instruments.

Quantifying the Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk

Quantitative Forward-Looking Statements

The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact.

The Partnership’s risk exposure in the various market sectors traded by the General Partner is quantified below in terms of Value at Risk. Due to the Partnership’s mark-to-market accounting, any loss in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership’s earnings (realized or unrealized) and cash flow (at least in the case of exchange-traded contracts in which profits and losses on open positions are settled daily through variation margin).

For regulatory purposes, initial margin requirements have been used by the Partnership as the measure of its Value at Risk. For trading and internal risk monitoring purposes, a different approach based on simulated market movements is used. Initial margin requirements include a credit risk factor and a maintenance margin factor and thus overstate the maximum one-day loss reflected by the maintenance margin requirement by the amount of the credit risk factor used in setting initial margin requirements. Maintenance margin requirements are set by dealers, exchanges and OTC clearing counterparties to equal or exceed 95-99% of the maximum one-day losses in the fair value of any given contract incurred during the time period over which historical price fluctuations are researched for purposes of establishing margin levels. The maintenance margin levels are established by dealers, exchanges and OTC clearing counterparties using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term one-day price fluctuation.

In the case of market sensitive instruments that are not exchange traded (almost exclusively currencies in the case of the Partnership), dealers’ margins have been used as Value at Risk.

The fair value of the Partnership’s futures and forward positions does not have any optionality component. However, the General Partner may also trade commodity options on behalf of the Partnership. The Value at Risk associated with options would be reflected in the margin requirement attributable to the instrument underlying each option.

In quantifying the Partnership’s Value at Risk, 100% positive correlation in the different positions held in each market risk category has been assumed. Consequently, the margin requirements applicable to the open contracts have simply been aggregated to determine each trading category’s aggregate Value at Risk. The diversification effects resulting from the fact that the Partnership’s positions are rarely, if ever, 100% positively correlated have not been reflected.

The Partnership’s Trading Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors

The following table indicates the average, highest and lowest amount of trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnership’s open positions by market category for the year ended December 31, 2023. During 2023, the Partnership’s average quarter-end capitalization was $91,812,216.

Average, highest and lowest Value at Risk amounts relate to the quarter-end amounts during the fiscal year. Average capitalization is the average of the Partnership’s capitalization at the end of each quarter during the fiscal year 2022.

Material Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk

The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership is typically many times the applicable initial or maintenance margin requirement (maintenance margin requirements generally ranging between approximately 1% and 10% of contract face value) as well as many times the capitalization of the Partnership. The magnitude of the Partnership’s open positions creates a “risk of ruin” not typically found in most other investment vehicles. Because of the size of its positions, certain market conditions — unusual, but historically recurring from time to time — could cause the Partnership to incur severe losses over a short period of time. The foregoing Value at Risk table — as well as the past performance of the Partnership — gives no indication of this “risk of ruin.”

Non-Trading Risk

The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as any market risk they represent) are immaterial.

The Partnership also has non-trading cash flow risk as a result of holding a substantial portion of its assets in U.S. government securities (Treasury Bills) and interest-bearing bank accounts. These cash and cash equivalents are placed with highly rated counterparties with a priority placed on preservation of capital and reputation (i.e., appropriate level of credit risk, market risk and reputation risk) and liquidity (i.e., appropriate level of liquidity risk).

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures

The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s market risk exposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the General Partner manages the Partnership’s primary market risk exposures — constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The Partnership’s primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the General Partner for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership’s risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Partnership. There can be no assurance that the Partnership’s current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long-term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Partnership.

The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of December 31, 2023, by market sector.

Fixed Income. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Partnership and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries may materially impact the Partnership’s profitability. The Partnership’s primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in Italy, Germany, Japan, the UK, and France. However, the Partnership also may take positions in futures contracts on the government debt of smaller nations. The General Partner anticipates that G-7 interest rates, both long-term and short-term, will remain the primary market exposure of the Partnership for the foreseeable future.

21


 

Currencies. Exchange rate risk is the principal market exposure of the Partnership. The Partnership’s currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Partnership trades in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates — i.e., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2023, the Partnership’s primary currency exposures were in the U.S. Dollar versus the Mexican Peso, Japanese Yen, UK Sterling, Brazilian Real and Colombian Peso.

Stock Indices. The Partnership’s primary equity exposure, through stock index futures, is to equity price risk in the G-20 countries. As of December 31, 2023, the Partnership’s primary exposures were in the Korean Kospi Index, Australian SPI 200 Index, Taiwan MSCI Index, FTSE100 China A50 Index, and Nikkei Index. The Partnership is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major North American, European and Asian indices. (Static markets would not cause major market changes but could make it difficult for the Partnership to avoid numerous small losses.)

Metals. The AHL Diversified Program used for the Partnership trades precious and base metals. As of December 31, 2023, the Partnership’s primary metals market exposures were in Gold, Nickel, Copper and Platinum.

Agricultural. The Partnership’s has exposure to agricultural price movements, which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions. Coffee, Corn, Wheat and Soyaoil accounted for the substantial bulk of the Partnership’s commodities exposure as of December 31, 2023.

Energy. The Partnership’s primary energy market exposure is to gas and oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East and economic conditions worldwide. Energy prices are volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market. As of December 31, 2023, the main exposures were in US Natural Gas, European Natural Gas, European Electricity and Carbon Emissions.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure

The following were the only non-trading risk exposures of the Partnership as of December 31, 2023.

Foreign Currency Balances. The Partnership’s primary foreign currency balance is in Euro. The Partnership controls the non-trading risk of these balances by regularly converting these balances back into U.S. dollars (no less frequently than twice a month).

Cash Positions. The Partnership’s only market exposure in instruments held other than for trading is in its cash portfolio. The Partnership holds only cash in U.S. Treasury Bills and interest-bearing bank accounts. This cash is placed with highly rated counterparties with a priority placed on preservation of capital and reputation (i.e., appropriate level of credit risk, market risk and reputation risk) and liquidity (i.e., appropriate level of liquidity risk) with durations no longer than 1 year.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure

Risk management is an essential component of AHL’s investment management process. AHL has put in place a risk management framework which is designed to identify, monitor and mitigate the portfolio, operational and outsourcing risks relevant to its operations. AHL’s risk management framework is part of, and is supported by, the overarching risk management framework of its parent company, Man Group plc. Key principles of AHL’s risk management framework include the segregation of functions and duties where material conflicts of interest may arise and having an appropriate degree of independent and senior management oversight of business activities. As part of this independent oversight, AHL’s activities are subject to regular review by an internal audit function.

The AHL Diversified Program employs a systematic, statistically based investment strategy that is designed to identify and capitalize on trends and other inefficiencies in markets around the world. Trading signals are generated and executed via a finely tuned trading and implementation infrastructure. This process is quantitative, meaning that investment decisions are entirely driven by mathematical models based on quantitative analysis of historical relationships. It is underpinned by rigorous risk control, ongoing research, diversification and the constant quest for efficiency. Portfolio risk management consists primarily of monitoring risk measures and ensuring the systems remain within prescribed limits. The major risk monitoring measures and focus areas include value-at-risk, stress testing, implied volatility, leverage, margin-to-equity ratios and net exposures to sectors and different currencies.

Diversification is also a key feature of AHL’s risk management, as well as its investment, process. As well as emphasizing sector and market diversification, the AHL Diversified Program has been constructed to achieve diversification by combining various investment strategies. The AHL Diversified Program trades approximately 250 markets and these markets may be accessed directly or indirectly and include, without limitation, stock indices, bonds, currencies, short-term interest rates, energies, credits, metals and agricultural. Another important aspect of diversification is the fact that the models generate signals across different timeframes, ranging from two to three days to several months. In line with the principle of diversification, the approach to portfolio construction and asset allocation is premised on the importance of deploying investment capital across the full range of sectors and markets. Particular attention is paid to correlation of markets and sectors, expected returns, trading costs and market liquidity. Portfolios are regularly reviewed and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect changes in these factors. AHL also has a systematic process for adjusting its market risk exposure in real time to reflect changes in the volatility, a measure of risk, of individual markets.

The General Partner, with the participation of the General Partner’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year for which this Annual Report on Form 10-K is being filed.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the General Partner to evaluate annually the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting in all annual reports. There were no significant changes in the General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The General Partner is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the financial reporting of the Partnership. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements of the Partnership in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the General Partner; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The management of the General Partner assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting with respect to the Partnership as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the General Partner’s internal control over financial reporting with respect to the Partnership is effective based on those criteria.

There were no significant changes in the General Partner’s internal controls with respect to the Partnership or in other factors applicable to the Partnership that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

Item 9B. Other Information.

(a)
Not applicable.
(b)
During the year ended December 31, 2023, neither the General Partner nor its directors or officers adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Partners of Man-AHL Diversified I L.P.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Man-AHL Diversified I L.P. (the “Partnership”), as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statement of changes in partners’ capital, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its partners’ capital, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

MAN-AHL DIVERSIFIED I L.P.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

img26256093_1.jpg 

 

1.
ORGANIZATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

Man-AHL Diversified I L.P. (a Delaware Limited Partnership) (the “Partnership”) was organized in September 1997 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, and commenced operations on April 3, 1998, for the purpose of engaging in the speculative trading of futures and forward contracts and related instruments. The Partnership is a “feeder” fund in a “master-feeder” structure, whereby the Partnership invests substantially all of its assets in Man-AHL Diversified Trading Company L.P. (the “Trading Company”). Man Investments (USA) Corp. (the “General Partner”), a Delaware corporation, serves as the Partnership’s General Partner. The General Partner is a subsidiary of Man Group plc, a Jersey public limited company that is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The General Partner oversees the operations and management of the Partnership.

AHL Partners LLP (the “Advisor”), a limited liability partnership established in England and Wales, acts as trading advisor to the Partnership. The Advisor is an affiliate of the General Partner and a subsidiary of Man Group plc. The Advisor is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity trading adviser and commodity pool operator and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) in such capacities, in addition to registration with the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom.

Man Investments Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company that is part of Man Group plc, is the managing member of the Advisor, and Man Investments Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation that is part of Man Group plc, is the sole shareholder of the General Partner.

The Partnership’s units are distributed through the Partnership or other selling agents, including Man Investments Inc. (“MII”), an affiliate of the Advisor and General Partner. MII is a registered broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).

The Partnership filed a registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which became effective in March 2008. The Partnership’s units are not, however, registered for sale through a public offering, and the General Partner does not intend to cause them to be so registered.

The Partnership offers two classes of units of limited partnership interests; Class A units are generally offered and Class B units are offered to employee benefit plans, IRAs and other retirement plans and accounts. The two classes of units are identical to each other except that Class B units may be purchased, transferred, held and redeemed in a minimum amount of $10,000. Within Class A and Class B, units are issued in two separate series. They are Class A Series 1, Class A Series 2, Class B Series 1 and Class B Series 2.

The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the administrator to the Partnership.

2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Partnership prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The General Partner has evaluated the structure, objectives and activities of the Partnership and the Trading Company and determined that the Partnership and the Trading Company meet the characteristics of an investment company. As such, these financial statements have applied the guidance as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the financial statements.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the General Partner 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.

Investment in Man-AHL Diversified Trading Company L.P. — The Partnership’s investment in the Trading Company is valued at the fair value of the Partnership’s proportionate interest in the partners’ capital of the Trading Company. The fair value of the Partnership’s investment in the Trading Company approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Statements of Financial Condition. The Partnership records its proportionate share of the Trading Company’s income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. In addition, the Partnership accrues its own expenses. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of the Trading Company. Attached are the financial statements of the Trading Company, including the condensed schedules of investments, which are an integral part of these financial statements. Valuation of investments held by the Trading Company is discussed in the Trading Company’s notes to financial statements.

MAN-AHL DIVERSIFIED I L.P.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

img26256093_1.jpg 

 

As at December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Partnership owned 3,232.95 and 3,571.81 units, respectively, of the Trading Company. The Partnership’s aggregate ownership percentage of the Trading Company as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 48.91% and 51.38%, respectively.

The Partnership is able to redeem its investment from the Trading Company on a monthly basis. As at December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Partnership could redeem its investment without restriction at the month-end net asset value of the Trading Company.

Due from Man-AHL Diversified Trading Company L.P. — The amounts Due from Man-AHL Diversified Trading Company L.P. represent redemption requests made by the Partnership relating to its investment in the Trading Company. The requests have been received and recorded by the Trading Company but the proceeds have not been received by the Partnership. These amounts are ultimately due to limited partners of the Partnership as redemptions payable.

Expenses — The Advisor earns a monthly management fee in an amount equal to 0.1667% (2% annually) of the Partnership’s month-end Net Asset Value, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”). In addition, the General Partner earns a monthly general partner fee in an amount equal to 0.0833% (1% annually) of the month-end Net Asset Value of Class A Series 1 and Class B Series 1 units. The general partner fee is included in management fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Advisor also earns a monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of any Net New Appreciation, as defined in the Agreement, achieved by the Partnership, with new appreciation generally tracked on a class-by-class basis. The incentive fee is retained by the Advisor even if subsequent losses are incurred; however, no subsequent incentive fees will be paid to the Advisor until any such trading losses are recouped by the Partnership. Because the incentive fees are paid on the Net New Appreciation of the Partnership as a whole, it is possible that certain Limited Partners may experience increases in the Net Asset Value of their units while paying no incentive fees on such increases in the Net Asset Value of such units as a result of the timing of the purchase of units. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, no incentive fees were earned by the Advisor.

The Partnership pays a monthly servicing fee to MII in an amount equal to 0.0833% (1.00% annually) of the month-end Net Asset Value of Class A Series 1 and Class B Series 1 units and 0.0625% (0.75% annually) of the month-end Net Asset Value of Class A Series 2 and Class B Series 2 units. MII serves as the placement agent for all classes of units of the Partnership. As at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, there are no Class B series 2 units outstanding.

Revenue Recognition — Income and expense are recognized on an accrual basis in the period in which they are incurred.

Derivative Contracts — The Partnership’s operating activities involve trading, indirectly through its investment in the Trading Company, in derivative contracts that involve varying degrees of market and credit risk. With respect to the Partnership’s investment in the Trading Company, the Partnership has limited liability, and, therefore, its maximum exposure to either market or credit loss is limited to the carrying value of its investment in the Trading Company, as set forth in the Statements of Financial Condition.

Net Income/(Loss) Per Unit — Net income/(loss) per unit of Class A Series 1, Class A Series 2, Class B Series 1, or Class B Series 2 partnership interest is equal to the net income/(loss) per class divided by the weighted average number of units outstanding per class. Weighted average number of units outstanding is the average of the units outstanding for each day during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Income Taxes — The Partnership is not subject to federal, state, or local income tax. Such taxes are the liabilities of the individual partners and the amounts thereof will vary depending on the individual situation of each partner. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. ASC 740, Income Taxes, defines how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements and is applied to all open tax years. The Partnership has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Based on this analysis of all tax jurisdictions and all open tax years subject to examination, there were no material tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not-threshold. Therefore, no tax expense, including interest or penalties, was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. To the extent that the Partnership records interest and penalties, they would be included in interest expense and other expenses, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Trading Company and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States – 2020.

Other income — Other income included in the Statements of Operations includes the proceeds received by the Trading Company relating to a class action award.

3.
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The General Partner and each limited partner share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of capital held by each partner. However, no limited partner is liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of its capital subscription and net profits or losses, if any.

The Partnership’s units are continuously offered as of the first business day of each month at Net Asset Value, as defined in the Agreement. Limited partners may redeem any or all of their units as of the end of any month at Net Asset Value per unit on 10 days prior written notice to the General Partner. The Partnership will be dissolved on December 31, 2037, or upon the occurrence of certain events, as specified in the Agreement.

The General Partner is required to make and maintain a general partner investment in the Partnership in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of 1.01% of the net aggregate capital subscriptions of all partners, or $500,000.

Distributions (other than redemptions of units), if any, are made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of the General Partner. No distributions were declared or paid during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Partnership is liable for all costs associated with executing its business strategy. These costs include, but are not limited to, expenses associated with operations of the Partnership, such as management and incentive fees and other operating expenses, such as legal, audit, and tax return preparation fees.

4.
FINANCIAL GUARANTEES

The Partnership enters into administrative and other professional service contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is not known; however, the Partnership has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Partners of Man AHL-Diversified Trading Company, L.P.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Man AHL-Diversified Trading Company, L.P. (the “Trading Company”), including the condensed schedule of investment, as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statement of changes in partners’ capital, the financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trading Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its partners’ capital, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trading Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trading Company's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trading Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trading Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trading Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

MAN-AHL DIVERSIFIED TRADING COMPANY L.P.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

img26256093_1.jpg 

 

1.
ORGANIZATION OF THE TRADING COMPANY

Man-AHL Diversified Trading Company L.P. (a Delaware Limited Partnership) (the “Trading Company”) was organized in November 1997 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, and commenced operations on April 3, 1998, for the purpose of engaging in the speculative trading of futures and forward contracts and related instruments. Man Investments (USA) Corp. (the “General Partner”), a Delaware corporation, serves as the Trading Company’s general partner. The General Partner is a subsidiary of Man Group plc, a Jersey public limited company that is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The General Partner oversees the operations and management of the Trading Company.

The Trading Company was formed to serve as a trading vehicle for certain limited partnerships sponsored by the General Partner in a “master-feeder” structure. The limited partners, Man-AHL Diversified I L.P. and Man-AHL Diversified II L.P., are limited partnerships whose general partner is the General Partner.

AHL Partners LLP (the “Advisor”), a limited liability partnership established in England and Wales, acts as the trading advisor to the Trading Company. The Advisor is an affiliate of the General Partner and a subsidiary of Man Group plc. The Advisor is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity trading adviser and commodity pool operator and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) in such capacities, in addition to registration with the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom.

Man Investments Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company that is part of Man Group plc, is the managing member of the Advisor, and Man Investments Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation that is part of Man Group plc, is the sole shareholder of the General Partner.

The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the administrator to the Trading Company.

2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Trading Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The General Partner has evaluated the structure, objectives and activities of the Trading Company and determined that the Trading Company meets the characteristics of an investment company. As such, these financial statements have applied the guidance as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the financial statements.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the General Partner 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.

Due from Brokers — Due from brokers may consist of balances due from BNP Paribas (“BNP”), Citigroup, N.A. (“Citi”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) (“CS”), J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPM”), Natwest f/k/a Royal Bank of Scotland (“RBS”), Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (“DB”), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“ML”), HSBC and Goldman Sachs (“GS”) (the “Brokers”). In general, the Brokers pay the Trading Company interest monthly, based on agreed upon rates, on the Trading Company’s average daily balance.

Restricted cash is subject to a legal or contractual restriction by third parties as well as a restriction as to withdrawal or use, including restrictions that require the funds to be used for a specified purpose and restrictions that limit the purpose for which the funds can be used. The Trading Company considers cash held at counterparties for derivative contracts to be restricted cash.

25,743,967

 

 

Due to Brokers — Due to brokers may consist of balances owed to its Brokers, as well as balances due to The Bank of New York Mellon relating to securities or contracts, the Trading Company has purchased or entered into, but have not yet settled as at December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The amount included in due to brokers in the Statements of Financial Condition is $0 as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Revenue recognition — Income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis in the period in which they are incurred.

Realized gains and losses from periodic payments and settlements and unrealized changes in fair values are included in realized gains/(losses) and change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on contracts/agreements, respectively, in the Statements of Operations. All trading activities are accounted for on a trade-date basis. The cost of securities sold is accounted for on a first in first out basis.

Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective interest method and included within interest income in the Statements of Operations.

Derivative Contracts — In the normal course of business, the Trading Company enters into derivative contracts (“derivatives”) for trading purposes. Derivatives traded by the Trading Company include futures and forward contracts and swap agreements. The Trading Company records derivatives at fair value. Futures contracts, which are traded on a national exchange, are valued at the close price as of the valuation day, or if no sale occurred on such day, at the close price on the most recent date on which a sale occurred. Forward contracts, which are not traded on a national exchange, are valued at fair value using independent pricing services, which mainly use market observable inputs in their valuations. Swaps are contractual agreements between two parties to exchange streams of payments over time based on specified notional amounts. The Trading Company’s swap agreements may consist of interest rate swaps and credit default swaps. Swap agreements are valued at fair value using independent pricing services. Upfront premiums paid or received by the Trading Company upon entering a credit default swap agreement are treated as part of the cost/proceeds of the credit default swap agreement and are reflected as part of net premiums paid or received in the Statements of Financial Condition. Upon termination of a credit default swap transaction, the amount included in the cost is reversed and becomes part of realized gain or loss.

Foreign Currency — All assets and liabilities of the Trading Company denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the mean between the bid and ask market rates for such currencies on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of foreign investments are converted at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of such transactions. The Trading Company does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such changes are included with the net realized gains or losses on trading activities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include unrestricted cash, short-term interest-bearing money market accounts and U.S. government securities with original maturities of 90 days or less, held with The Bank of New York Mellon. As at December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Trading Company maintains cash balances with The Bank of New York Mellon. As at December 31, 2023, the Trading Company held foreign cash balances totaling $565,304 with a cost of $565,257, which are included in cash and cash equivalents. As at December 31, 2022, the Trading Company held foreign cash balances totaling $364,848 with a cost of $352,306, which are included in cash and cash equivalents. As at December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Trading Company did not hold any U.S. Treasury Bills in cash and cash equivalents.

Investments in Securities — Investments in Securities include U.S. government securities with original maturities of more than 90 days, held with The Bank of New York Mellon.

Income Taxes — The Trading Company is treated as a partnership for tax purposes and therefore is not subject to federal, state, or local income tax. Such taxes are the liabilities of the individual partners and the amounts thereof will vary depending on the individual situation of each partner. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. ASC 740, Income Taxes, defines how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements and is applied to all open tax years. The Trading Company has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trading Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Based on this analysis of all tax jurisdictions and all open tax years subject to examination, there were no material tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not-threshold. Therefore, no tax expense, including interest or penalties, was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. To the extent that the Trading Company records interest and penalties, they would be included in interest expense and other expenses, respectively, in the Statements of Operations. The following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Trading Company and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States – 2020.

Net Income/(Loss) Per Unit — Net income/(loss) per unit of partnership interest is equal to the net income/(loss) divided by the weighted average number of units outstanding. Weighted average number of units outstanding is the average of the units outstanding for each day during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021.

Other Income — Other income included in the Statements of Operations includes the proceeds received by the Trading Company relating to a class action award.

3.
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The General Partner and limited partners share in the profits and losses of the Trading Company in proportion to the amount of capital held by each partner. However, no limited partner is liable for obligations of the Trading Company in excess of its capital contribution and net profits or losses, if any. The General Partner owned no direct interest in the Trading Company during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Distributions (other than redemption of units), if any, are made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of the General Partner. No distributions were declared or paid during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Partner contributions occur as of the first day of any month at the opening net asset value. Limited partners may redeem any or all of their units as of the end of any month at the net asset value per unit with 10 days prior written notice to the General Partner. The General Partner may suspend redemptions of units of the Trading Company if the Trading Company’s ability to withdraw capital from any investment is restricted. The Trading Company will be dissolved on December 31, 2037, or upon the occurrence of certain events, as specified in the Trading Company’s limited partnership agreement.

4.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Trading Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Trading Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Statements of Financial Condition.

The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Trading Company’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — investments with significant market observable inputs
Level 3 — investments with significant unobservable inputs, which may include the Trading Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments

Futures contracts are valued based on end of day quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 investments in the fair value hierarchy. Treasury bills, forward contracts and swap agreements are valued at fair value using independent pricing services, which use market observable inputs in their valuations, and are categorized as Level 2 investments in the fair value hierarchy. As at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Trading Company did not have any positions categorized as Level 3 investments in

* The Fair Value of credit default swaps excludes upfront premiums received/paid which are presented separately in the Statements of Financial Condition. Refer to Note 2 for further details on the accounting treatment of premiums on credit default swaps.

The Trading Company discloses the amounts of transfers and reasons for those transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, based on the levels assigned under the hierarchy at the reporting period end. There were no transfers between levels as at December 31, 2023 or 2022 based on the levels assigned at December 31, 2022 or 2021. The Trading Company did not hold any Level 3 investments as at or during the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Trading Company seeks to achieve its investment objective by participation in the AHL Diversified Program directed on behalf of the Trading Company by the Advisor. The AHL Diversified Program is a price trend-following trading system, entirely quantitative in nature, and implements trading positions on the basis of statistical analyses of past price histories. The objective of the AHL Diversified Program is to deliver substantial capital growth for commensurate levels of volatility over the medium term, independent of the movement of the stock and bond markets, through the speculative trading, directly and indirectly, of physical commodities, futures contracts, spot and forward contracts, swaps and options on the foregoing, exchanges of futures for physical transactions and other investments on domestic and international exchanges and markets (including the interbank and over-the-counter markets (“OTC”)). The AHL Diversified Program trades globally in several market sectors, including, without limitation, currencies, bonds, energies, stock indices, interest rates, metals and agriculture.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

img26256093_1.jpg 

 

All of the strategies and systems of the AHL Diversified Program are designed to target defined volatility levels rather than returns, and the investment process is underpinned by computer-supported analytical instruments and disciplined real-time risk and management information systems. A proprietary risk measurement method similar to the industry standard “value-at-risk” helps ensure that the rule-based decisions that drive the investment process remain within pre-defined risk parameters. Margin-to-equity ratios are monitored daily, and the level of exposure in each market is quantifiable at any time and is adjusted in accordance with market volatility. Market correlation is closely monitored to prevent over-concentration of risk and ensure optimal portfolio weightings. Market liquidity is examined with the objective of ensuring that the Trading Company will be able to initiate and close out trades as indicated by AHL Diversified Program’s systems at market prices, while brokerage selection and trade execution are continually monitored with the objective of ensuring quality market access.

Futures contracts, forward contracts and swap agreements are recorded on the trade date. Upon entering into futures contracts, forward contracts and swap agreements, the Trading Company may be required to deposit cash or collateral with the brokers. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are matured or closed. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts and agreements (the difference between contract trade price and fair value) are reported in the Statements of Financial Condition.

Interest rate swaps relate to agreements taken out by the Trading Company with major brokers in which the Trading Company either receives or pays a floating rate of interest in return for paying or receiving, respectively, a fixed rate of interest, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. In the normal course of business, the payment flows are netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Changes in the value of the interest rate swap agreements and amounts received or paid in connection with those changes, are recognized as realized trading gains/(losses) on closed contracts/agreements in the Statements of Operations. The risks related to trading in interest rate swaps include changes in market value and the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the agreement. As at December 31, 2023, the Trading Company does not hold any open interest rate swap agreements.

The Trading Company may enter into short sales. In order to facilitate a short sale, the Trading Company borrows the applicable financial instrument from a broker or counterparty and delivers it to a buyer. A short sale by the Trading Company creates an obligation on the part of the Trading Company to thereafter purchase the financial instrument in the market at the prevailing market price and deliver it to the broker or counterparty from which it was borrowed. The Trading Company is exposed to the risk of loss to the extent that the price of a financial instrument sold short by the Trading Company increases from the time the Trading Company borrows the financial instrument to the time the Trading Company purchases it in the market to satisfy the Trading Company’s delivery obligation. Consequently, the ultimate cost to the Trading Company to acquire a financial instrument sold short may exceed the amount recognized in financial statements.

The Trading Company may enter into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against the default of an issuer (as buyer of protection) and/or gain credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed (as seller of protection). Credit default swaps are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place (e.g. default, bankruptcy, debt restructuring, etc.). The Trading Company may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps. As a buyer, upon the occurrence of a specified negative credit event, the Trading Company will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising an index or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the agreed upon recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising an index. As a seller (writer), upon the occurrence of a specified negative credit event, the Trading Company will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising an index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the agreed upon recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising an index. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Trading Company may recover amounts paid under the agreement either partially or in total by offsetting any payables and/or receivables with collateral held or pledged. The counterparty risk for centrally-cleared credit default swap agreements is generally lower than for credit default swap agreements not centrally-cleared. However, there can be no assurance that the clearing organization, or its members, will satisfy its obligations to the Trading Company.

These periodic payments received or made under swap agreements by the Trading Company are included in net realized trading gains/(losses) on closed contracts/agreements in the Statements of Operations. When the swap is terminated, the Trading Company will record a realized gain/(loss) equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) closing the transaction and the Trading Company’s basis in the contract, if any.

Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial Condition. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty or the clearing organization to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.

The notional amount represents the maximum potential pay out that the Trading Company could be required to make if a credit event were to occur under each agreement. The maximum payout amount may be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained via the execution of a payout event, upfront fees received upon entering into the contracts, or net amounts received from the settlement of offsetting purchased protection in credit default swap contracts entered into by the Trading Company for the same reference entity or entities. As at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all credit default swap contracts entered into by the Trading Company are on indices. The credit spread is generally indicative of the status of the underlying risk of default by the applicable reference entity or index and is likely to be different than the contractual spread on the credit default swap. Higher credit spreads are indicative of a higher likelihood of non-performance by the underlying reference entity.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Trading Company traded the following derivative contracts:

The trading activity of open future, forward and swap contracts as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 is indicative of the trading activity throughout the respective years.

The Trading Company trades derivative financial instruments that involve varying degrees of market and credit risk. Market risks may arise from unfavorable changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, or the fair values of the instruments underlying the contracts. All contracts are stated at fair value, and changes in those values are reflected in the net change in unrealized trading appreciation/(depreciation) on open contracts/agreements in the Statements of Operations. Credit risk arises from the potential inability of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of a contract. The credit risk for OTC derivative contracts is limited to the net unrealized gain plus any collateral posted net of unrealized losses or upfront fees posted, if any, for each counterparty for which a netting agreement exists and is included in the Statements of Financial Condition. Upfront fees are listed in the Statements of Financial Condition as net premiums paid/received on credit default swap agreements and are shown net by counterparty for which a netting agreement exists. Counterparty relationships are governed by various contracts. These contracts can be based on industry standard agreements, such as International Swap and Derivatives Association agreements for OTC contracts. These agreements set forth each party’s basic rights, responsibilities, and duties. These agreements also contain information regarding financial terms and conditions, as well as termination and events of default provisions. Certain agreements contain provisions that require the Trading Company to post additional collateral upon the occurrence of specific credit risk related events or upon notice from the counterparty. As the Trading Company’s trading strategies are dependent upon the existence of these agreements, the Trading Company’s counterparties usually have multiple specified events under which they can terminate individual transactions or the entire agreement. These are most commonly related to declines in assets under management and performance below certain thresholds during a specified period. It is not guaranteed that counterparties will move to terminate individual transactions or entire agreements if a “trigger event” were to occur; however, it is their right to do so, and such a move could severely impact the Trading Company’s portfolio. As at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the OTC contracts subject to such trigger events in a net liability position were the foreign currency forward

contracts. The details of the net liability positions by counterparty are disclosed later in this note on the additional disclosures regarding the offsetting of derivative liabilities table. The ultimate amounts that may be required as payment to settle the derivative instruments in connection with the triggering of such credit contingency features as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, may differ from the net liability amounts recorded as at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and such differences can be material.

For exchange-traded futures contracts, the clearing organization functions as the central counterparty for each transaction and, therefore, bears the risk of settlement to and from counterparties, which mitigates the credit risk of these instruments.

As at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all credit default swaps held by the Trading Company are centrally cleared swaps.

Amounts in the table above exclude foreign exchange spot contracts.

As described above, the Trading Company may enter into netting agreements with its derivative contract counterparties whereby the Trading Company may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. As at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Trading Company was subject to netting agreements that allowed for amounts owed between the Trading Company and its counterparty to be netted. The party that has the larger payable pays the excess of the larger amount over the smaller amount to the other party. The netting agreements do not apply to amounts owed to or from different counterparties.
