Sector Commentary

Overall Fund performance was negative for the month., The fixed income, grains/foods, metals  and energies sectors contributed to losses while gains in the equities and currencies sectors partially offset trading losses.

Negative fixed income performance was driven by positions in the German Bund, U.S. Treasury Bonds and Euro-OAT futures.  Negative performance in grains/foods was driven by positions in cocoa, cotton, soybean meal, wheat and coffee.  The metals sector negative performance was led by positions in gold and zinc; small gains from positions in palladium reduced negative performance.  The energies sector negative performance was led by positions in gas oil, heating oil and natural gas.

The equities sector performance was positive, led by positions in the FTSE, Euro Stoxx and S&P 500 indices.  Performance in the currencies sector was positive, led by gains in foreign exchange positions in the U.S. dollar against the euro and Japanese yen  and in euro positions.
