Note 4. Commodity Trading Advisors and Reference Traders

The Partnership, through the Trading Companies, allocates assets to the commodity trading advisors or through swap transactions based on reference programs of such advisors. Each trading advisor that receives a direct allocation from the Partnership has entered into an advisory contract with the Partnership. As of December 31, 2019, the commodity trading advisors are EMC Capital Advisors, LLC (“EMC”), Episteme Capital Partners (UK) LLP (“Episteme”) and Quantica Capital AG (“Quantica”) (collectively, the “Advisors”). The Partnership will obtain the equivalent of net profits or net losses generated by H2O AM, LLP (“H2O”) and Winton Capital Management Limited (“Winton”) as reference traders (“collectively, the “Reference Traders”) through off-exchange swap transactions and will not allocate assets to H2O or Winton directly. As of October 1, 2019, Sterling Partners Quantitative Investments LLC (“Sterling”), and as of December 1, 2019, Transtrend B.V. (“Transtrend”), are no longer trading advisors of the Partnership. The assets of the Partnership previously allocated to Sterling and Transtrend were reallocated to the Partnership’s existing trading advisors as of that date.  The Advisors and Reference Traders are paid a quarterly consulting fee, directly or through swap transactions, ranging from 0.2 percent to 1 percent per annum of the Partnership’s month-end allocated net assets and a quarterly or semi-annual incentive fee, directly or through swap transactions, ranging from 0 percent to 20 percent of the new trading profits on the allocated net assets of the Advisor or Reference Trader.
