Trading Performance
The Fund’s A Units returned 3.95% in October. Positive stock market earnings announcements, continued speculation about the magnitude and extent of a further round of quantitative easing and a general increase in risk appetite saw stocks and commodity markets rise in October against a backdrop of a further weakening US dollar and increasing Treasury yields. The Fund’s long bond positions incurred losses as the threat of a double-dip recession waned. For the first time ever, US TIPS maturing in five years time were sold at a negative yield, highlighting the overwhelming demand for inflation protection. Meanwhile the Fund made gains in stocks and currencies. The US dollar continued its slide against major trading partners, reaching 15-year lows against the Japanese yen and briefly touching parity with the commodity-led Australian dollar. Most stock indices rose in the month but Japan struggled and profits were made on both the long and short positions in this sector. The Fund also capitalized on its commodity positions, particularly in agriculturals and precious metals. A report by the USDA early in the month highlighted the effects of adverse weather on harvests in grains and softs making the agricultural sector the Fund’s best performer for the month. Precious metals rallied in response to the weakening dollar while industrial metals such as copper and zinc reacted to the positive growth outlook.

PRO FORMA RETURNS: Historical returns presented in the performance table above show the trading results of a representative account, which account is an investment fund, traded pursuant to the Aspect Diversified Program. The results have been adjusted to reflect the Fund’s Series A Unit fee structure and reflect the increased leverage used by the Fund of approximately 1.2 times the normal leverage of the trading program. Series A Unit fees include a 2.40% Trading Advisor Management Fee, 20% Trading Advisor Incentive Fee, 0.75% Offering Expenses, 1.10% General Partner Fee, 2.00% Selling Agent Fees, 0.95% Administrative Expenses, 0.15% Broker Dealer Servicing Fee and 0.30% Brokerage Commissions and Trading Expenses, per the Fund’s prospectus. Interest income is calculated to reflect the Fund’s cash management policies, using historical rates. For further information about these Units and their fee structure, please refer to the Fund’s current prospectus. The General Partner believes that the method used in the table above provides a fair representation of the pro forma effect of fees, expenses and leverage on the performance results of the trading program.
 
**In February 2008, Aspect Capital Limited made a 10% allocation to a proprietary systematic trading strategy (the “Stock Sector Strategy”) within the representative account. The Stock Sector Strategy is not currently applied to other accounts trading the Aspect Diversified Program, including the Fund. Therefore, the pro forma performance figures for February 2008 onwards represent the adjusted performance of the representative account to exclude the effect of the Stock Sector Strategy allocation (i.e., the figures above are pro forma performance figures based on the version of the Aspect Diversified Program that is traded by the Fund).

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

PRO FORMA RETURNS: Historical returns presented in the performance table above show the trading results of a representative account, which account is an investment fund, traded pursuant to the Aspect Diversified Program. The results have been adjusted to reflect the Fund’s Series I Unit fee structure and reflect the increased leverage used by the Fund of approximately 1.2 times the normal leverage of the trading program. Series I unit fees include a 2.40% Trading Advisor Management Fee, 20% Trading Advisor Incentive Fee, 0.75% Offering Expenses, 1.10% General Partner Fee, 0.95% Administra­tive Expenses, and 0.30% Brokerage Commissions and Trading Expenses, per the Fund’s prospectus. Interest income is calculated to reflect the Fund’s cash management policies, using historical rates. For further information about these Units and their fee structure, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus. The General Partner believes that the method used in the table above provides a fair representation of the pro forma effect of fees, expenses and leverage on the performance results of the trading program.
 
**In February 2008, Aspect Capital Limited made a 10% allocation to a proprietary systematic trading strategy (the “Stock Sector Strategy”) within the representative account. The Stock Sector Strategy is not currently applied to other accounts trading the Aspect Diversified Program, including the Fund. Therefore, the pro forma performance figures for February 2008 onwards represent the adjusted performance of the representative account to exclude the effect of the Stock Sector Strategy allocation (i.e., pro forma performance figures are based on the version of the Aspect Diversified Program that is traded by the Fund).
 
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
