Critical Accounting Policies |
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Partnership’s Investments. All commodity interests (including derivative financial instruments
and derivative commodity instruments) are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are
recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described below) at the
measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or
losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are
included as a component of equity in trading account on the Statements of Financial Condition.
Net realized gains or losses and any change in net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period
are reported in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
Partnership’s Fair Value Measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date
under current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to
fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The
level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value
measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. GAAP also requires the need to use judgment in determining if a
formerly active market has become inactive and in determining
fair values when the market has become inactive. Management has concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, the Partnership’s
Level 1 assets and liabilities are actively traded.
The Partnership will separately present purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements in its reconciliation of
Level 3 fair value measurements (i.e., to present such items
on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and make
disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs
and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for
measurements that fall within either Level 2 or
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as required under GAAP.
The Partnership considers prices for exchange-traded commodity futures and options contracts
to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The
values of forwards, swaps and certain options contracts for which market quotations are not readily
available are priced by broker-dealers that derive fair values for those assets from observable
inputs (Level 2). As of and for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the
Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments that were priced by broker-dealers that derive
fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2) or that were priced at fair value
using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal
valuation pricing models (Level 3).
Options. The Partnership may purchase and write (sell), both exchange listed and
OTC, options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract
allowing, but not requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard
commodity or financial instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option
premium is the total price paid or received for the option contract. When the Partnership writes an
option, the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition
and marked to market daily. When the Partnership purchases an option, the premium paid is recorded
as an asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Net realized gains
(losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the
Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for
the taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial
statements and requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in the course of preparing the
Partnership’s financial statements to determine whether the
tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be
sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with
respect to tax at the Partnership level not deemed to meet the
“more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as
a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The General
Partner has concluded that no provision for income tax is
required in the Partnership’s financial statements.
The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state and
local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under
examination. Generally, the 2007 through 2010 tax years remain
subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax
authorities. Management does not believe that there are any
uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax
liability.
Subsequent
Events. The General Partner evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet
date but before financial statements are filed. The General Partner has
assessed the subsequent events through the date of filing and
determined that there were no subsequent events requiring
adjustment of or disclosure in the financial statements.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04,
“Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure
Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting
Standards” (“IFRS”).
The amendments within this ASU change the wording used to describe many of the
requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information
about fair value measurements to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between
U.S GAAP and IFRS. However, some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the
application of existing fair value measurement requirements and other amendments
change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing
information about fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for annual and interim
periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public entities. This new guidance is not
expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.
Net Income (Loss) per Unit. Net income (loss)
per unit is calculated in accordance with investment company
guidance. See Note 2, “Financial Highlights”.

Trading Activities |
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a variety of commodity
interests, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments. The
results of the Partnership’s trading activities are shown in the Statements of Income and Expenses
and Changes in Partners’ Capital.
The Customer Agreement between the Partnership and CGM gives the Partnership the legal right
to net unrealized gains and losses on open futures contracts on the Statements of Financial
Condition.
All of the commodity interests owned by the
Partnership are held for trading purposes. The average number of futures contracts traded during the three months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010 based on a monthly calculation were 0 and 368, respectively. The average number of futures contracts
traded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 based on a monthly calculation were 145 and 184, respectively.
The average number of option contracts traded during
the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 based on a monthly calculation were 13,452 and 13,814, respectively. The
average number of option contracts traded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 based on a monthly calculation
were 18,107 and 15,014, respectively.
Brokerage fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value on
the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and redemptions.
The
following table indicates the gross fair values of derivative instruments of option contracts as
separate assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
The following table indicates the trading gains and losses, by market sector, on derivative
instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | Â | |||
Financial Instrument Risks |
In the normal course of business, the Partnership is party to financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity
instruments. These financial instruments may include futures, forwards and options, whose values are based
upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally represent future commitments to
exchange currencies or cash balances, to purchase or sell other financial instruments on specific
terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative commodity instruments, to have a
reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical delivery or with another financial
instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”).
Exchange-traded instruments are standardized and include futures and certain option contracts. OTC
contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and include
certain options. Specific market movements of commodities or futures
contracts underlying an option cannot accurately be predicted. Each of these
instruments is subject to various risks similar to those related to the underlying financial
instruments, including market and credit risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts
are greater than those associated with exchange-traded instruments because of the greater risk of
default by the counterparty to an OTC contract.
The risk to the Limited Partners that have purchased interests
in the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital
contributions to the Partnership and their share of the
Partnership’s assets and undistributed profits. This
limited liability is a result of the organization of the
Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by
the Partnership due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements and
fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility
and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The Partnership is
exposed to market risk equal to the value of futures contracts purchased and unlimited liability on
such contracts sold short.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to
perform according to the terms of a contract. The Partnership’s risk of loss in the event of a
counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of Financial
Condition and is not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The
Partnership’s risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting
agreements with counterparties that permit the Partnership to offset unrealized gains and losses
and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain events.
The Partnership has credit risk and concentration risk, as the sole counterparty or broker with
respect to the Partnership’s assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with respect to
exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that, through CGM, the Partnership’s
counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
As both a buyer and seller of options, the Partnership pays or receives a premium at the
outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the
option. Written options expose the Partnership to potentially unlimited liability; for purchased
options, the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options permit cash
settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The Partnership does
not consider these contracts to be guarantees.
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Partnership’s risk exposure on a
daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly,
believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks
to which the Partnership may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General
Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators
and correlation statistics. In addition, online monitoring systems provide account analysis of
futures and options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and
collateral positions.
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due
to the nature of the Partnership’s business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | Â | |||
General |
Warrington Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized on November 28,
2005, under the partnership laws of the State of New York to engage in the speculative trading of
commodity interests including futures and options contracts. The
Partnership trades futures in the stock indices sector. The Partnership commenced trading on February 21,
2006. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership are volatile and involve a high
degree of market risk. The Partnership privately and continuously offers redeemable
units of limited partnership interest (“Redeemable Units”) in the Partnership to qualified
investors. There is no maximum number of Redeemable Units that may be sold by the Partnership.
Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner
(the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. The General Partner is
wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (“MSSB
Holdings”). Morgan
Stanley, indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns a majority equity
interest in of MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. (“CGM”), the commodity broker and a selling
agent for the Partnership, owns a minority equity interest in of
MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns
CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General
Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner of which is Citigroup.
As of June 30, 2011, all trading decisions for the Partnership are made by Warrington
Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). In addition, Warrington
Trading LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor, is a special limited partner (the “Special
Limited Partner”) of the Partnership.
The General Partner and each limited partner of the Partnership (each, a “Limited Partner”)
share in the profits and loss of the Partnership, after the allocation to the Special Limited
Partner, in proportion to the amount of Partnership interest owned by each except that no Limited
Partner shall be liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of its capital
contribution and profits, if any, net of distributions.
The Partnership’s trading of futures, forwards and options contracts, if applicable, on
commodities is done primarily on United States of America and foreign commodity exchanges. It
engages in such trading through a commodity brokerage account maintained with CGM.
The accompanying financial statements and accompanying notes are unaudited but, in the opinion
of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair statement of the Partnership’s financial condition at June 30, 2011 and December
31, 2010 and the results of its operations and changes in
partners’ capital for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements present the results of interim
periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. You
should read these financial statements together with the financial statements and notes included in
the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Due to the nature of commodity trading, the results of operations for the interim periods
presented should not be considered indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
year.
