The Investment Funds engage primarily in speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts and options on U.S. and foreign futures contracts, and foreign currency transactions. The Investment Funds are exposed to both market risks – the risk arising from changes in the market value of the contracts and credit risk – the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract. Furthermore, certain of the Investment Funds include restrictions as to the minimum amount of time that an investor must remain invested in the Investment Fund.

 

The Fund is required to disclose any investments that exceed 5% of the Fund’s net assets at year end.  Information is not available to determine if an individual investment held by any of the Investment Funds exceeded 5% of the Fund’s net assets at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Fund had remitted $-0- and $16,600,000, respectively, to Investment Funds that was not credited to the Fund’s respective capital accounts until the first day of the following month.  These amounts have been recorded as investments in transit.
