The units are classified as a liability when the limited partner elects to redeem, and informs the Funds.
     Management and incentive fees are charged at the Partnership level. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and National Futures Asscociation fees are borne by the Partnership through its investment in the Funds.
