The Partnership's cash is on deposit with MS&Co., in Futures Interests trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed.  Each month, MS&Co. pays the Partnership interest income on 100% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership's account during such month at a rate equal to 80% of the monthly average of the 4-week U.S. Treasury bill discount rate.  For purposes of such interest payments, daily funds do not include monies due to the Partnership on or with respect to futures, forwards or options contracts that have not been received.  MS&Co. retains any interest earned in excess of the interest paid to the Partnership.  The Partnership pays a flat rate brokerage fee to MS&Co.
