“General Economic and Market Conditions. The success of the Partnership’s activities will be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, market disruptions and recessionary concerns. These factors may affect the level and volatility of the prices and liquidity of the Partnership’s investments. Volatility or illiquidity could impair the Partnership’s profitability or result in losses. …”see in full comparison
“Tariffs and “Trade Wars”. The imposition of substantial tariffs by the United States on other nations, along with retaliatory measures by such other nations, has created a period of increased economic volatility. The future of the trading relationships between the United States and such other nations is uncertain, and the failure of those countries to resolve their current disputes could have materially adverse effects on the global economy. …”see in full comparison

Tariffs and “Trade Wars”. The imposition of substantial tariffs by the United States on other nations, along with retaliatory measures by such other nations, has created a period of increased economic volatility. The future of the trading relationships between the United States and such other nations is uncertain, and the failure of those countries to resolve their current disputes could have materially adverse effects on the global economy. This, and/or future downturns in the global economy, significant introductions of barriers to trade or even bilateral trade frictions between the United States and its trading partners or countries representing key export markets could adversely affect the financial performance of the Partnership.
General Economic and Market Conditions. The success of the Partnership’s activities will be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, market disruptions and recessionary concerns. These factors may affect the level and volatility of the prices and liquidity of the Partnership’s investments. Volatility or illiquidity could impair the Partnership’s profitability or result in losses. The Partnership may maintain substantial trading positions that can be adversely affected by the level of volatility in the financial markets; the larger the positions, the greater the potential for loss. It is important to understand that the Partnership can incur material losses even if it reacts quickly to difficult market conditions and there can be no assurance that the Partnership will not suffer material adverse effects from broad and rapid changes in market conditions.

“Commodities were the bright spot for the Partnership in January. Long soyabeans and corn were the top contributors to the Partnership’s gains, as well as crude oil, which Crude oil also rose over 7% on the month, benefitting the Partnership’s long positions. Similarly, in February, long commodity positions were top performers for the Partnership as crude oil rose almost 20% and sugar rose 10% on the month, and the Partnership’s copper position was the top performer in the entire portfolio rising 15%. …”see in full comparison
“In January, the Partnership’s currencies trading was negative. A long U.S. dollar position stumbled mid-month amid underlying tariff uncertainties, and crosses against the Brazilian real and Japanese yen were the worst affected. A long U.S. dollar position against the Canadian dollar, however, benefited the Partnership over the course of the month. In February, the Partnership’s currencies trading was negative. The Partnership experienced losses in currency pairs such as the Swedish krona and Chilean peso, but the greatest loss was seen for the Japanese yen, which rose against the U.S. …”see in full comparison
“In January, yields across developed markets generally rose on the month. US bond yields breached 1%, hurting the Partnership’s broadly long positions in US bonds, which more than offset the gains posted in its short position in long-dated bonds. Fixed income generated a positive return as positioning shifted from net long to net short mid-way through the month of February. Top performers were shorts in German bunds and Australian 10-year bonds, while losses were led by Italian 10-year bonds which switched positions from long to short as the month progressed. …”see in full comparison

A long position in the FTSE Taiwan Index caused minor losses on the month overall, but there were significant gains from long positions in European indices such as Germany’s DAX Index and FTSE Italia All Share Index. In February, the Partnership’s equities trading was positive. Trading in risk assets finished the month in the black, but there was considerable dispersion. Technology stocks experienced another month of volatility, leading to losses from the Partnership’s longs in both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices. …”see in full comparison
“In January, the Partnership’s credit trading was positive. The Partnership’s gains were made primarily in European investment-grade and high-yield indices.

In March, the Partnership’s credit trading was negative. In April, the Partnership’s credit trading was also negative. Long credit positions generated losses. In May, the Partnership’s credit trading turned positive. …”see in full comparison
“In January, trading in fixed income generated losses for the Partnership as prices fluctuated with mixed news on inflation. The Partnership’s short positions in both the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) and Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor) were worst affected, although most positions generated losses. However, a short position in Japanese bonds benefited the Partnership. In February, the Partnership experienced losses in fixed income trading from short positions in U.S. Treasuries across the maturity spectrum. …”see in full comparison

In January, the Partnership’s equities trading was positive. A long position in the FTSE Taiwan Index caused minor losses on the month overall, but there were significant gains from long positions in European indices such as Germany’s DAX Index and FTSE Italia All Share Index. In February, the Partnership’s equities trading was positive. Trading in risk assets finished the month in the black, but there was considerable dispersion. Technology stocks experienced another month of volatility, leading to losses from the Partnership’s longs in both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices. Europe’s equities proved far more resilient, where the Partnership’s long position in the FTSE Italia All-Share Index performed positively. In March, the Partnership’s equities trading was negative. The Partnership’s equity positions, many of which had transitioned from long to short by the end of the month, posted losses. Within indices, the worst performers were Sweden’s OMX Stockholm 30 and India’s Nifty, while long positions in South Africa’s All Share and the Hang Seng generated offsetting gains. In April, the Partnership’s equities trading was negative. The Partnership’s positions in the Swiss Market Index and the Hang Seng indices produced losses, while a short position in the Russell 2000 Index generated a small offsetting gain. In May, the Partnership’s equities trading was positive. In a similar vein to earlier in the year, longs across Europe led gains, notably in FTSE Italia and DAX indices. In June, the Partnership’s equities trading was positive. June saw risk assets advance with both the S&P 500 and Korean KOPSI indices hitting all-time highs leading to gains in long Korean KOPSI. Gains in stocks were led by long KOPSI. The Partnership’s long positions in MSCI EM and U.S. indices extended gains. In July, the Partnership’s equities trading was positive. Long exposure to stock indices generated gains. Positions in the FTSE and Asian indices led contributions, boosted by U.S. indices amid major trade announcements. Decreases in a long position in the Euro STOXX index coincided with investors uncertain on the value of the U.S.-European trade deal. In August, the Partnership’s equities trading was positive. Gains were geographically diversified, led by long positions in the FTSE China A50 and Canada’s S&P/TSX 60 indices. Positions in the S&P/ASX 200 and TOPIX indices also generated gains. In September, the Partnership’s equities trading was positive. Equities drove performance as broad-based long positioning benefited the Partnership. A long position in the MSCI Emerging Markets index led the way, closely followed by Asia-Pacific indices. Positions in the Korean KOPSI, FTSE Taiwan and Hang Seng indices generated gains. In October, equities trading was positive, driven by long positioning in the Asia-Pacific markets. The top performer was a long KOSPI position, coinciding with the index hitting record highs to become the best-performing global equity benchmark year-to-date. Long Nikkei and FTSE Taiwan indices positions also added. In November, equities trading was negative amid intra-month volatility. Long Nasdaq and Nikkei positions led declines. Long positions in the Swiss Market Index and S&P/TSX 60 Index provided small offsetting gains. In December, a broad-based long position across global equity markets generated gains, particularly in European and Asian-Pacific regions. Long Swiss Market Index and Swedish OMX Stockholm 30 indices led gains in Europe, while long KOSPI and FTSE Taiwan indices positions drove gains in Asia-Pacific. Gains more than offset minor losses from a long position in the Nasdaq Index.
In January, the Partnership’s credit trading was positive. The Partnership’s gains were made primarily in European investment-grade and high-yield indices. In February, the Partnership’s credit trading was positive. The Partnership had a loss from a long credit position in U.S. high yield which was more than offset by a gain from similar positioning in European high yield. In March, the Partnership’s credit trading was negative. In April, the Partnership’s credit trading was also negative. Long credit positions generated losses. In May, the Partnership’s credit trading turned positive. The Partnership’s net long positioning was profitable. In June, the Partnership’s credit trading was positive. Gains were compounded by high yield credit exposure in both the U.S. and Europe. In August, the Partnership’s credit trading was muted, as marginal gains from long U.S. credit risk were largely offset by European exposure. In October, credit trading was flat. In November, credit trading was marginally positive, with short (long credit risk) positions in European and U.S. investment grade and high yield credit default swap indices adding small gains. In December, long credit risk (short credit default swap) exposure in European high-yield and investment grade credit default swap indices generated gains.
In January, the Partnership’s commodities trading was positive. Within commodities, agricultural were profitable while returns from trading metals and energies were more muted. The Partnership’s long positions in coffee and live cattle were profitable. Within metals, gains from long gold positions were offset by losses trading copper. Energies trading was also flat overall, with profits from long positions in European Union Allowance Carbon Emissions offset by losses from trading crude oil. In February, the Partnership experienced losses across all three commodity sub-sectors. The Partnership’s long position in cocoa fell amid softening prices, reversing recent trends. The Partnership’s long positions in U.S. natural gas generated gains, but its metals trading generated losses, mainly resulting from longs in platinum and silver. In March, the Partnership’s commodities trading was positive, driven by metals where gold had its largest quarterly rise since 1986 and a long silver position was also a top performer for the Partnership. Comparatively, the Partnership experienced some losses as oil prices continued to fluctuate, though a long U.S. natural gas was also a top performer for the Partnership. Long positions in live and feeder cattle, however, helped generate gains for the Partnership’s agricultural trading, coinciding with new price highs. In April, the Partnership’s commodities trading was negative. Within commodities, the main driver of negative performance was in metals, but there was dispersion. A long gold position was profitable. A long silver position on the other hand, was unprofitable. Within energies, U.S. natural gas generated a loss, and in agricultural, profits from trading wheat were offset by losses from soybeans. In May, the Partnership’s commodities trading was negative. Commodities trading proved challenging as all sleeves ended in the red, and energies led losses. Long coffee drove agricultural to losses. Gains from longs in livestock were only able to partially offset. Metals compounded losses, with long precious the primary detractors. In June, the Partnership’s commodities trading was positive. Commodities were mixed, with gains from agricultural and metals trading offsetting losses from energies. Shorts in sugar and corn proved profitable, with sugar prices falling. Long platinum and silver pushed metals into the black but were countered by losses from long exposure across the oil complex. In July, the Partnership’s commodities trading was positive, as gains in energies and agricultural outweighed metal losses. In energies, a short U.S. natural gas position and long positions across the oil complex were profitable. Long cattle positions gained as prices rose amid sustained demand and reduced supply. The primary detractor was a long copper position, during a period when copper was excluded from tariffs and the price premium on U.S. futures decreased. In August, the Partnership’s commodities trading was positive. Commodities were bifurcated, with gains from metals and agricultural offsetting losses in energies. Long exposure across the precious metals complex gained, led by silver and gold. In agricultural, gains from long cattle contracts were offset by coffee, where the Partnership changed its positioning from short to long. In energies, gains from short U.S. natural gas positions were offset by longs across the oil complex. In September, the Partnership’s commodities trading was positive. Gains were driven by metals, primarily long precious metals exposure, amid U.S. rate cut expectations, a potential government shutdown, and geopolitical tensions. In commodities, gold led the performance charts. Trading in agricultural also proved accretive, led by a short position in wheat. Gains were partially offset, however, by detractors in energies, namely a short European energy position. In October, commodity performance was mixed, as profits from precious metals were offset by losses in energies and agricultural. A long gold position led gains. In energies, a short U.S. natural gas position declined as prices increased. In agricultural, short soymeal and wheat positions drove losses, which were partially offset by a short sugar position. In November commodities, metals and energies trading added to gains, with agricultural trading mostly flat. In metals, long positions across the precious complex drove profits. In energies, long European carbon emissions and short Dutch and United Kingdom natural gas led gains. Agricultural were muted as a profitable short cocoa position was offset by a short sugar position. In December, commodities gained as profits from metals trading offset losses from agricultural and energies. Long precious metals exposure drove gains, with platinum and silver leading the way, and copper further adding gains. Trading in long coffee and short U.S. natural gas positions proved challenging.
In January, the Partnership’s currencies trading was negative. A long U.S. dollar position stumbled mid-month amid underlying tariff uncertainties, and crosses against the Brazilian real and Japanese yen were the worst affected. A long U.S. dollar position against the Canadian dollar, however, benefited the Partnership over the course of the month. In February, the Partnership’s currencies trading was negative. The Partnership experienced losses in currency pairs such as the Swedish krona and Chilean peso, but the greatest loss was seen for the Japanese yen, which rose against the U.S. dollar, coinciding with strong economic data. However, the Partnership generated a gain from a short position in the New Taiwanese dollar. In March, the Partnership’s FX trading was negative. The Partnership’s short positions against the U.S. dollar, such as the Indian rupee and Swiss franc, experienced losses, while offsetting gains were seen in the Partnership’s positions in the Polish zloty and Brazilian real that were long or moved to long against the U.S. dollar early in the month. In April, the Partnership’s currencies trading was negative. The U.S. dollar trade-weighted index fell. Emerging market currencies fell relative to the U.S. dollar. Losses were incurred in the South African rand and Brazilian real. U.S. dollar positions against the Swedish krona and Indian rupee generated small offsetting gains. In May, the Partnership’s FX trading was negative. In June, the Partnership’s FX trading was positive. The Partnership’s broad-based short U.S. dollar exposure contributed to gains as well as a host of Latin American-U.S. dollar crosses, in particular the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso against the U.S. dollar. Long Euro further added, along with gains from other emerging market and developed market U.S. dollar crosses. In July, the Partnership’s FX trading was negative. A broad-based short U.S. dollar position generated losses. As the U.S. dollar strengthened against most developed and emerging market currencies, long positions in the Great British pound, the Singapore dollar, and the Euro led declines, compounded by losses in Latin American-U.S. dollar crosses. A short Japanese yen position, however, generated gains. In September, the Partnership’s FX trading was positive. The Partnership’s short positioning against the U.S. dollar was beneficial, particularly in Latin American-U.S. dollar crosses. Amid policy uncertainty, long positions in the Brazilian real and Mexican peso led gains. Short exposure to the Indian rupee and Japanese yen against the dollar further added to gains. In October, FX trading was positive and benefited from exposure to Asian-Pacific regions, notably a short position in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar. A short position in the New Taiwan dollar further contributed; however, these gains were partially offset by long positions in the Mexican dollar and Norwegian krone as the U.S. dollar rebounded. In November, currencies trading was positive as the Partnership built a net long U.S. dollar position. The top performer was a short Japanese yen position, which depreciated against the U.S. dollar. A short New Taiwanese dollar position further added to the gains. Long exposure in Latin American currencies remained profitable, notably in Mexican dollar, Brazilian real and Columbian peso. In December, FX trading gained as the Partnership built back into its net short U.S. dollar positioning having briefly moved net long the month prior. Long positions in the South African rand, Mexican peso and Chilean peso topped performance charts. Short positions in the Japanese yen and Indian rupee were further accretive.
In January, trading in fixed income generated losses for the Partnership as prices fluctuated with mixed news on inflation. The Partnership’s short positions in both the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) and Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor) were worst affected, although most positions generated losses. However, a short position in Japanese bonds benefited the Partnership. In February, the Partnership experienced losses in fixed income trading from short positions in U.S. Treasuries across the maturity spectrum. However, a short position in Japanese bonds provided some marginal offsetting gains. In March, the Partnership’s fixed income trading was mostly flat, but there was dispersion in individual positions. Losses were seen in the Partnership’s position on European short-term rates, while offsetting gains were seen in the Partnership’s long position in German bonds. In April, the Partnership’s fixed income trading finished the month in the black, with gains from long positions in short-term rates almost offset by losses from mixed positioning in longer duration trades in the U.S. and Germany. In May, the Partnership’s fixed income trading was negative. Long SONIA and Euribor suffered. Further out the curve, long Korean index positions added to losses. In June, the Partnership’s trading was slightly negative, as long-end exposures contributed to offsetting gains from rates trading. Long Euribor led declines, while shorts in U.S. Treasuries compounded losses. Profits from a long SONIA position provided some relief. In July, the Partnership’s fixed income trading was negative. Long Euribor and SONIA positions led declines in rates trading, while long Swedish swaps and Italian government bonds (BTPs) also detracted. In August, the Partnership’s fixed income trading was positive, as mixed positioning across the curve proved beneficial. At the short end, a position in Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) led gains amid investors appearing to position for more immediate U.S. rate cuts. At the longer end, German government bonds and U.S. mortgage-backed securities (MBS) generated gains. Long SONIA and Australian inflation-linked government bonds detracted from performance. In September, the Partnership’s fixed income trading was negative. Losses were led by a long SOFR position. Elsewhere, losses were muted but broad-based as mixed positioning struggled. Long Australian bonds detracted alongside short positions in Gilts. In October, fixed income positions across the yield curve generated losses. At the shorter end, long Euribor and SOFR positions decreased, adding to losses from a long position in SONIA. Further out, a short Bunds position decreased amid a decline in German interest rates, while long Australian and U.S. bonds also contributed to declines. In November, fixed income trading was positive as short fixed income positions further out the maturity curve drove profits, led by 3-year Korean and Australian bonds. Short 10-year Japanese bonds further added as yields hit levels last seen in 2008. Rates trading was more muted as a long SOFR position offset losses from a short Euribor position. In December, intertest rates trading was bifurcated with losses from shorter tenors outweighing marginal gains further out the curve. A short SOFR position proved challenging alongside a long SONIA position, although short Japanese bonds helped offset losses as yields hit their highest level since 1999.
In January, commodity trading, while largely flat, had some of the Partnership’s worst performing positions, including shorts in natural gas, gold and copper. In February, the Partnership’s commodities trading turned positive, as agricultural delivered strong returns driven by a short position in corn and a long position in cocoa and energies saw gains accrued from a short in natural gas, while metals trading detracted, led by copper. In March, energies trading was positive, driven by a short in US natural gas and long positions in crude oil gold, and cocoa, while shorts in soybeans and corn provided offsetting losses. In April, metals did the best, with long positions in copper and gold generating positive returns. Returns from trading agricultural were more muted, with losses from a short wheat position offset by gains from long coffee. Energies trading generated losses from short US natural gas, long gas oil and short carbon emissions. In May, commodities trading generated losses, with energies doing the worst, as the Partnership’s short in US natural gas was one of the worst performers. Within agricultural, losses stemmed from short positions across the soy complex. Metals trading, however, provided gains through long silver and copper positions. The Partnership’s energies trading was negative in June. Trading in metals struggled with losses seen in copper, and energy trading dipped into the red, driven by losses from a short heating oil position. Agricultural trading, on the other hand, generated gains via short positions in corn and in the soy complex. In July, trading in agricultural generated gains, most notably from short soybeans position, while energies trading was broadly flat, with gains from short US natural gas being offset by losses from long oil positions. Within metals, longs in both silver and copper detracted. In August, commodities trading losses stemmed from metals (notably short aluminum) and energies trading (long oil). Agricultural trading partially offset losses as coffee surged. In September, the Partnership’s metals trading turned positive on the whole, offset by losses from agricultural and energies trading. Trading in commodities was mixed as a declining US dollar and falling rates were positive for longs in precious metals. A short US natural gas position was hurt as prices rose. Within agricultural, returns were quite disparate; a long in coffee was beneficial, while losses were seen in the soy complex. In October, commodities trading was positive, with gains from metals (gold in particular) and agriculturalsagricultural (shorts in soybeans) outweighing losses from energies, principally from the oil complex (including crude and heating oil). In November, positive returns from agriculturals,agricultural, specifically long positions in coffee, failed to offset losses from short positions in US natural gas and long positions in gold and silver. Similarly in December, commodity trading lost out overall, with losses from long positions US natural gas and gold and short positions in wheat and soyameal more than offsetting gains from long cocoa and short platinum positions.
The Partnership’s equity trading in January was positive, due to gains from the Australian SPI 200 index. Nasdaq rose 11% after a -33% return in 2022, which did not benefit the Partnership’s short position. Losses were incurred via short in the Korean Kospi. In February, the Partnership’s equity trading was down due to long positions in the Australian SPI 200 and MSCI Emerging Markets indices. The trend continued in March as a long position in the FTSE 100 as well as a short in the Australian SPI 200 detracted from an equity standpoint. In April, the Partnership’s long positions were generally profitable, along with its short positioning in the VIX volatility index, with long positions in MSCI Taiwan and India’s Nifty index generating offsetting losses. In May, the Partnership’s equity trading was profitable, with the Nikkei as the most profitable, and the Partnership’s position in the Taiwan MSCI also performing well. In June, front-end positions had the best returns, including SONIA and SOFR rates. Taiwan’s MSCI performed well, along with longs in Japanese stock indices, while losses were incurred in trading the Hang Seng and H-Shares Index. In July, equity trading incurred gains from longs in the S&P500, Italian and Taiwanese indices, overcoming losses from shorts in the Hang Seng and H-Shares Index. The Partnership’s equity trading registered a loss in August, with shorts in the MSCI Singapore and MSCI EM indices generated a share of such losses. In September, the Taiwan MSCI index suffered a loss, while shorts in the MSCI EM and Hang Seng indices gained. The Partnership began October net short equities, generating gains from a short in the Korean Kospi index. A short in the Korean Kospi benefittedbenefited when the index fell. In November, gains from the Partnership’s short position in FTSE China A50 were offset by losses in its positions in the Korean Kospi and MSCI EM index. The Partnership ended the year in December with a net long positioning in stocks, bringing in gains as globally stocks finished the year strong.
In January, several of the Partnership’s short positions, such as Italian and Australian government bond futures, flipped to long, incurring losses in the process. In February, the aggregate short position benefitted,benefited, though the greatest beneficiaries were US instruments at the 3m, 2y, and 5-year points. Canadian bonds and the US 5 year treasury generated losses in fixed income trading in March, as all markets were contributed negatively. In April, the Partnership’s small and varied positions in bonds detracted over the month as well. Losses continued into May as European bonds rallied sharply, leading to losses from a short Italian government bond position. The Partnership incurred positive returns in June with fixed income trading turning in the best performance over the month from shorts. US Treasuries out to the 10-year point performed best, though there were offsetting losses trading French and German bonds. In July, fixed income trading generated losses. Longs in the Italian 10 year bond detracted the most, while shorts in US and Canadian instruments attributed positively. Trading in fixed income was flat in August. Primarily short positions were beneficial in the first half of August, most notably in long-dated US treasuries which remained beneficial overall. Positioning in Italian 10-year government future bonds was long at the start of the month and was hurt by the inflation data in Europe. In September, the Partnership’s short positions in fixed income, particularly in longer-dated US bonds and Italian bonds were profitable. A short in 3-month Sonia was the sole detractor. In October, the Partnership’s bond exposure was short and stable, with Australian bonds topping the table. Short positions in European bonds from Italy and Germany contributed losses. In November, the Partnership’s short positioning in bonds generated losses as market moves went against positioning. Losses were greatest across tenors in US futures, though there were also losses from shorts in Australia and Italy. In December, the Partnership’s aggregate positioning in bonds moved from flat to long as the month progressed, rewarding the Partnership as yields compressed. Italian bonds performed best, while Australian and long-dated US instruments were slower to move from short to long and incurred small losses.
In January, the Partnership generated a positive return with gains in commodities. Profits in commodity trading originated mostly from energy and metals, specifically China’s long copper and gold positions. The price of natural gas fell on both sides of the Atlantic, and profited the Partnership. Short positions in coffee and platinum generated small losses. In February, the Partnership suffered losses from commodities. Losses in commodities were driven by metals, most notably longs in precious metals, and gold. Losses from generally short positions in the oil complex led to an overall negative return in energies. Gains were generated in agricultural trading, led by a short in wheat. In March, a silver position generated a loss as it flipped from short to long. Prices of EUA carbon emissions fell, along with risk assets, generating losses for the Partnership’s long position. Sugar trading was beneficia,beneficial, as prices hit a 10-year high. Trading in commodities was mixed in April. Agricultural, in particular a long position in sugar, were the standout, while volatile oil prices were detrimental to the Partnership’s positions in oil. Trading in metals was positive, with profits generated from a short zinc position, while a long in copper detracted. In May, all sub-components of the Partnership’s commodities trading were beneficial. Prices across the soy complex fell, benefittingbenefiting the Partnership’s short positioning, while a long sugar position lost out as prices fell. Energies notched up a small gain in aggregate, benefittingbenefiting from a US natural gas short. Within metals, long precious positions detracted from the Partnership’s returns. In June, the Partnership suffered losses, primarily due to energies. Metals and agricultural trading also experienced difficulties, with copper and soybean prices in particular suffering significant reversals. Gains were accrued from a cocoa long. Commodity markets were mixed in July. Metals trading generated losses, with Aluminum in particular bouncing off a multi-month low. Trading in agricultural was flat, with gains from long cocoa positions offsetting losses from short corn. Energies represented the sole gain as longs in the crude complex generated gains for the Partnership. Commodity trading was difficult in August, as observed in metals, where silver positioning whipsawed, and US natural gas prices were volatile. However, gains were made in agricultural through cocoa longs and wheat shorts. By September, commodity gains were dominated by long oil positions, both Brent and WTI crude. Metals was slightly lower, as losses in aluminum and zinc shorts outweighed gains short nickel positions. Within agricultural, long sugar positions generated a gain while long cocoa lost out. Commodities trading was difficult in all sub-sectors in October. Oil was volatile, leading to losses from long positions. Gold spiked, reversing its multi-month downward trend. In the aggregate, there were losses in agricultural commodities, but the standout positive performer was a long in cocoa. In November, short US natural gas positions profited along with the Partnership’s long position in cocoa, though offsetting losses came from a short position in copper. Commodities trading finished the year in December with losses. Metals were the worst performer, with silver being the worst individual performer. Trading in agricultural was broadly flat.
Credit spreads narrowed over the month of January, benefittingbenefiting short protection CDS positions in US investment-grade and European higher-yielding indices. There were no offsetting profitable fixed income positions in January. The Partnership generated a positive return with gains from credit. Fixed income prices rallied in January on expectations that central banks may ease their rate-hiking plans. In February, trading in credit suffered losses in US CDS indices overcoming smaller gains in European indices. Risk-on positions in CDS indices were hurt in March, with European and US investment-grade companies in the crosshairs. A decline of 61bp on 13th of March for US 2-year Treasury yields was the largest decline in over 40 years and was detrimental to a short in the instrument and indeed all other tenors of US treasuries traded by the Partnership. Credit trading was slightly positive for the Partnership in April. In May, the Partnership generated a positive return net of fees with gains generated across all asset classes. However, the Partnership’s credit trading was flat for May. In June, the credit trading generated a positive return. Credit spreads tightened, resulting in small gains for the Partnership’s long credit positions. In July, long credit positions in Europe across both investment grade and high-yield names, implemented via short CDS indices, generated losses. July was positive for the Partnership’s risk assets, with key US indices delivering their fifth successive positive month. Long credit positions generated losses in August and September. Credit positions flipped from long to short as October progressed, leading to a loss in aggregate, with European investment-grade and crossover indices suffering most. In November, the Partnership’s credit position migrated from short to long early in the month, and generated net gains, primarily in European investment grade and high-yield indices. The Partnership’s long credit positioning in December generated gains.
Net assets increased $7,800,168 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was attributable to subscriptions in the amount of $2,352,800, redemptions in the amount of $7,685,154 and net income from operations of $13,132,522.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Partnership accrued or paid total expenses of $4,824,641, including $979,160 in servicing fees, $2,925,061 in General Partner administrative fees and Trading Advisor management fees, and $920,420 in other expenses. and interest of $1,367,524 was earned or accrued on the Partnership’s share of the Trading Company’s cash and cash equivalents and broker balances.

The Partnership’s equity trading in January was marginally positive, as gains were accrued from longs in North American capital goods, and Taiwanese indices. A short position in the VIX volatility index, on the other hand, caused losses as the index spiked in the final few days. The Partnership’s equity trading also finished February in positive territory, with the Partnership’s positions in the S&P TSX 60 and Nikkei futures being top performers. In March, the Partnership’s gains in equity trading was led by its dominantly long equity positions, as well as its positions in Sweden’s OM index and Germany’s Dax indices. A short VIX volatility position was also beneficial as, as were long credit positions particularly in Europe. In April, positive overall performance in equities was topped by longs in Australia’s SPI 200 and Taiwan’s MSCI indices. Longs in the Japan’s TSE index marginally detracted. Credit spreads also tightened, with gains dominated by short CDS positions in US indices. However, in May, trading in equities finished slightly down. Top performer was a long in the Canadian TSX index, spurred by rising commodities, while longs in Taiwanese indices generated losses as the rise in prices due to a global semiconductor shortage took a breather. Equities’ path through June was much smoother than currencies and bonds, and the Partnership’s long position in the Australian SPI 200 benefited. Bullishness for risk assets also fed into the Partnership’s credit positions, with gains being made across the board, most notably European 5y Crossover. Although many equity indices ended July in positive territory, their route was impeded mid-month in part by coronavirus worries. Overall in July, net long positioning led to negative performance for the asset class, led by the MSCI EM and Russell 2000 indices, although there were pockets of strength in trading the Swedish OM and NASDAQ 100 indices. In August, several key benchmarks such as the S&P 500 hit fresh all-time highs. This benefitted dominantly long positions in the Partnership, with India’s Nifty Index as the top performer. A long in the Singapore MSCI Index, on the other hand, lost out on Covid-19 Delta variant concerns and negative pressure on Asian technology stocks. In September, the macro-economic environment had its greatest impact on the Partnership’s generally risk-on positioning in equities, and the effect was compounded by sector rotation. Worst performers were longs in the Australian SPI 200 and S&P 500 indices, while smaller gains were made in long Tokyo stock exchange and Nifty indices. More mixed positioning in equities in October resulted in a slight gain on the month. Positive returns from shorts in Chinese indices and Hang Seng were able to offset by losses from shorts in the S&P 500 and Russell 2000. In November, trading in equities was flat. Asian indices rebounded particularly strongly with the news of China moving away from its zero Covid policy, and the Hang Seng’s 27% rise hurt the Partnership’s small short position. On the positive side, gains were made from a long in the Euro-STOXX and short in the VIX volatility index. December’s losses in equity markets were against the grain of the previous two months which were, in fact, the only two consecutive up-months in 2022. This countertrend move hurt the Partnership’s predominantly long positions. The worst hit were Asia and Asia-Pacific indices, notably in Australia, Taiwan and Japan.
In January, yields across developed markets generally rose on the month. US bond yields breached 1%, hurting the Partnership’s broadly long positions in US bonds, which more than offset the gains posted in its short position in long-dated bonds. Fixed income generated a positive return as positioning shifted from net long to net short mid-way through the month of February. Top performers were shorts in German bunds and Australian 10-year bonds, while losses were led by Italian 10-year bonds which switched positions from long to short as the month progressed. In March, fixed income trading generated a small positive return, as gains from short positions in 10y and 30y US treasuries offset losses from short positions in German 5y and 10y bonds. Fixed income yields in April took a respite from their recent rising theme, which resulted in a slight loss from the Partnership’s small aggregate short positions. Losses were dominated by Canadian and US instruments, while small gains were made in their European counterparts. In May, a combination of little movement in fixed income yields and low bond risk levels meant that trading in the asset class was subdued. Overall there was a loss, with gains from US 2yr and 5yr treasuries being slightly offset by losses from shorts in UK and longs in Canadian bonds. In June, long positions in U.S. bond markets long-dated futures made small gains, while short positions in 2- and 5-year futures lost out. A long position in the Eurodollar also contributed to losses. However, in July, bond markets did not encounter a sell-off, even with the additional news of consumer price inflation in the US hitting its highest levels since 2008. Dominantly long fixed income positions were top performers for the Partnership. Italian, German, and French 10-year bonds topped the list for the asset class while losses were incurred from positions in German and US 2-year bonds amid spikes in the number of coronavirus cases. Fixed income positions detracted in August amidst overall subdued price moves. European bonds fared worst, with German, French, and Italian bonds all selling-off to the detriment of the Partnership’s long positions, while a long in Australian 10-year bonds generated a small profit. In September, long positions in Italian bonds caused the greatest losses, although there were small offsetting gains from a short in the UK 10-year gilts. Rising US bond yields helped provide a tailwind to the US dollar. In October, trading in fixed income instruments tipped into the black overall with no real direction to markets. US yields generally rose, leading to profits from short positions across the Treasury curve. Shorts in Italian government bonds, on the other hand, generated a loss, as did shorts in UK gilts which were impacted by volatility surrounding the regime change in the UK government. Within short-term rates, patterns were similar, with US shorts generating a profit while UK sterling shorts lost out. The prospect of fewer rate rises to combat inflation sent fixed income yields lower, generating losses for the Partnership’s dominantly short positions in November. The worst offenders were long-dated US Treasuries. In December, ECB President Lagarde’s comment, “Anybody who thinks this is a pivot from the ECB is wrong”, dashed the hopes of dovish bond investors, sending yields of European bonds higher and resulted in gains for short positions in German bonds in particular. The Bank of Japan’s decision to double the effective yield cap on 10y Japanese government bonds, on the other hand, caught the Partnership’s small long position off-guard.
In January, a bounce in the US dollar versus a basket of currencies representing the United States’ trading partners hurt the Partnership’s short positions in the US dollar, particularly in such positions against the South African rand and Japanese yen. Longs in the Chinese renminbi and Indian rupee made token gains. Additionally, in February, the majority of the Partnership’s losses on the month were generated in its FX trading, though such losses were mild. Long Australian dollar positions versus both the US dollar and Japanese yen performed well along with long in the Swiss franc versus the US dollar; none of those gains were enough to offset the losses from long positions in the Indian rupee, EURO Mexican Peso and Japanese yen against the US dollar. However, in March, FX was fruitful for the Partnership, with short positions in the Swiss franc and Japanese yen against the US dollar, as well as a short position in the Euro against the Canadian dollar, the top performers. Some losses were seen in the Partnership’s long positions against the dollar in the Euro and UK Stirling, as well as a flat position in the Turkish Lira. In April, losses in FX trading were small in aggregate, and individual gains or losses depended broadly on positioning against the US dollar. Long positions in the greenback against the Swiss franc and New Zealand dollar were worst hit as the US Federal Reserve struck a dovish tone and US Treasury yields declined. Similar reasoning played out well for US dollar shorts against the Euro and Canadian dollar. Currencies was a fertile trading ground for the Partnership in May. Rising risk appetite in markets led to rising EM FX rates in general, with the primary beneficiary in the Partnership being the South African rand. Confidence in the British pound continued as Brexit recedes further into the rear-view mirror and vaccination success continues to be newsworthy, leading to gains against the US dollar and the Japanese yen. Losses were incurred from short positions in the Chilean peso and New Zealand dollar against the greenback. In June, currency trading was hardest hit by the perceived more hawkish tone from the Fed, with losses experienced in a number of positions as the US dollar spiked. Worst offenders were euro and Canadian dollar longs versus the greenback, although a similar position in the Brazilian real profited as the country hiked rates by 75bp. Trading in currencies finished July in the red, with losses predominantly from a long Brazilian real position against the US dollar driven in part by corruption scandals involving President Jair Bolsonaro. Offsetting this loss, however, were gains made through shorts in the Australian dollar against both the greenback and Great British pound as major cities such as Sydney and Melbourne went into lockdown. In August, FX trading finished the month in the red and there were few significant gains or losses. A long position in the Mexican peso against the US dollar lost out mid-month despite the Banco de Mexico raising rates. A long position in the Indian rupee against the greenback, on the other hand, gained towards the end of the month. In September, the Mexican peso declined against the greenback despite the Banco de Mexico raising rates for the third time this year, generating the asset class’s biggest loss in the Partnership. A short in the Swiss franc, on the other hand, was beneficial. In October, currencies trading generated a gain overall as the DXY dollar index declined on the month on resurgent risk assets. The Mexican peso continued its strong run against the greenback, resulting in a gain for the Partnership’s long position. However, losses were experienced from long dollar positions against the Singapore dollar and Euro, for example. FX trading was the greatest detractor from the Partnership’s November performance. These losses were most apparent in Asian currency crosses, most notably the South Korean won and Chinese Renminbi. A long position in the Mexican Peso against the greenback was the biggest gainer on the month. In December, currency trading finished the month down. Gains were generated in pairs featuring short US dollar positions, in particular European currencies such as the Euro and Polish zloty. One exception was the Israeli Shekel which depreciated versus the greenback, benefitting the Partnership’s short position. On the debit side, long positions in the Australian dollar, UK sterling and Euro all lost out against the Japanese yen as the currency chalked up its largest daily gain this century in response to the BoJ’s change in yield curve policy.
Commodities were the bright spot for the Partnership in January. Long soyabeans and corn were the top contributors to the Partnership’s gains, as well as crude oil, which Crude oil also rose over 7% on the month, benefitting the Partnership’s long positions. Similarly, in February, long commodity positions were top performers for the Partnership as crude oil rose almost 20% and sugar rose 10% on the month, and the Partnership’s copper position was the top performer in the entire portfolio rising 15%. These gains were more than enough to offset the Partnership’s losses from a short position in natural gas. Reversing course from February, the Partnership’s commodities trading ended March down. The Partnership’s long positions, most notably in agricultural commodities such as cocoa and sugar, and metals such as nickel, posted the largest losses, while small offsetting gains were made in individual markets such as lean hogs and palladium. In April, long commodity positions continued to make hay as economic optimism lifted and talk of inflation in earnings calls increased, although long positions in coffee and gold made losses. In May, long positions in crude and the oil complex were broadly gainful, as was a long position in carbon emissions whose year-to-date gain as of May was just shy of 60%. In metals the story was similarly positive. In addition to copper, long positions in silver, aluminum and gold were profitable. The main detractor in the commodities complex was a long in wheat, which retraced half of April’s 20% gain. Commodity performance was mixed in June. Long positions in agricultural and metals suffered, particularly soybean, copper and precious metals holdings. Prices in the energy complex, on the other hand, continued their ongoing rally. Nowhere was this more apparent than in gas markets on both sides of the Atlantic. Indeed, the long in US natural gas ended the month as the top performer across the Partnership. In July, the price of natural gas continued its recent upward trajectory on tight supply and increasing demand. The prices of natural gas in the US and in the UK/EU extended their rise, spurred in part by forecasts of above normal temperatures in central USA regions, and generated the greatest returns for the Partnership. Long coffee positions were also beneficial, with prices at seven-year highs amid extreme weather in Brazil, the world’s biggest coffee exporter. Prices of sugar and corn, on the other hand, were rangebound and led to losses. August saw marked dispersion across the commodity spectrum. Natural gas prices continued to rally; in the US, one reason cited was a low inventory forecast for the beginning of the winter heating season by the Energy Information Administration, while in Europe there was news that Russia was pumping less gas to the continent. Whatever the reason, profits resulted for the Partnership’s long positions. The oil complex, on the other hand, deviated from its previously strong 2021 performance, declining on concerns of slowing demand in China and the rise of the Covid-19 Delta variant, and incurred losses. In commodities, a long sugar position generated a gain on reports of a frost in Brazil, the world’s top producer, while a long copper position generated a loss. In September, commodities was the only asset class to maintain its recent direction of travel, and once again it was the energies sub-component that generated the greatest attention. Trading in US natural gas generated the greatest gains for the Partnership as prices rose to seven-year highs, propelled by surging demand. A long copper position generated a loss as prices fell 6% on the month. Commodities trading finished October with losses from all three sub-sectors. Trading in oil dipped into the red amidst mixed positioning as the price of the complex broadly rose. Carbon emissions prices were also volatile, resulting in losses, and short positions in silver also lost out on rangebound prices. Small gains were made from positions in live cattle, zinc and Dutch natural gas. In November, within the commodities complex, trading in metals and energies generated losses while agricultural was flat. Short positions in gold and silver were caught off guard by the low CPI print. Positioning in energy markets was mixed over the month with the largest detractor being US natural gas. Within agricultural returns were mixed with gains coming from short wheat and long soybeans positions. Prices across the soy complex rose in December as demand from a re-opening of China, the world’s largest buyer, was coupled with dry conditions in supplier countries in South America. The Partnership saw gains in soymeal and soybeans as a result, but losses from soyoil. Energy trading lost out overall as gains from short European gas positions were more than offset by losses in gasoline, gas oil, and carbon emissions.
Credit trading dipped into the red towards the end of January as short CDS positions in European high-yield and US investment grade names posted losses. In February, the Partnership’s credit trading was slightly lower on the month, as short CDS positions in US high yield names generated a small gain while similar positioning in US investment names generated a marginally larger loss. In March, long credit positions particularly in Europe were beneficial to the Partnership. In April, credit spreads also tightened, with gains dominated by short CDS positions in US indices. Similarly, in May, credit trading resulted in a small gain. Bullishness for risk assets also fed into the Partnership’s credit positions in June, with gains being made across the board, most notably European 5y Crossover. Credit trading finished July down. In August, credit spreads also tightened over the month, benefitting long credit positions, most notably the US investment grade CDS index. In September, losses were seen in the Partnership’s long credit positions, most notably in the US. Government bond yields, which rose for the second month running. The “dot plots” may have given an indication of the timing of future rises in the US, but elsewhere - Czech Republic for example - actual rises in interest rates came in ahead of market expectations. In October, short positioning in credit at the start of the month transitioned to long as risk assets rallied, resulting in losses across most indices traded by the Partnership. However, trading in credit proved a welcome bright spot for the asset class in November after a difficult year. Positions were broadly short CDS when the CPI news emerged, and hence gains were generated as risk assets rallied. Top performers were in US investment grade and European crossover indices. There were no meaningful detractors. In December, long credit positions also generated losses, with US investment grade and high yield indices affected worst.

The Partnership ended April with positive returns, with gains from currencies, commodities, stocks, and fixed income trading partially offset by credit trading. Stocks generated the largest gains as long exposure across Asia-Pacific indices appreciated. The top performer was a long position in FTSE Taiwan Index. Long positions in the Korean Kospi, Nikkei and MSCI Emerging Markets indices also contributed to gains, whereas a short position in the Nifty 50 Index detracted from performance. Credit trading detracted from performance; positioning rotated from short to long credit risk through short credit default swaps positions as European iTraxx and U.S. CDX index spreads compressed. Currency trading generated gains. A long position in Brazilian real was profitable, with long positions in Israeli shekel and Norwegian krone also adding to performance. The Partnership reduced its net long dollar exposure as Asian currencies recovered against the U.S. dollar, and short positions in Japanese yen, Taiwanese dollar and Korean won detracted from performance. Commodities trading was also positive, though results were mixed. Energies led in performance, as a short position in U.S. natural gas was profitable in addition to a long position in RBOB gasoline. The Partnership marginally reduced long energy exposure as the month progressed. Agricultural detracted from performance. Metals were flat as gains in nickel offset a decrease in precious metals. Fixed income trading contributed to gains, led by short ten-year Japanese Government Bond positions. Short two-year U.S. bond positions and short three-year Australian bond positions were also profitable, and a short SOFR position was the top contributor in rates.
The Partnership ended May with positive returns, with gains from stocks, credit and currency trading offset by commodities and fixed income trading. Stocks generated profits, with long positions in the Korean Kospi, FTSE Taiwan and NASDAQ indices leading gains. Credit trading was also profitable, led by short positions in the European high-yield and investment-grade credit default swap indices. Currencies trading was positive overall, with profits generated from short positions that captured gains as the Japanese yen and South Korean won depreciated against the U.S. dollar. Losses from long exposures to the Colombian peso and Brazilian real partially offset gains. Commodities trading generated losses, primarily driven by positions across the energy complex, lead by a short position in U.S. natural gas. Long positions in middle distillates, including gas, oil and RBOB gasoline, also resulted in losses. These losses offset gains in the metals sector from long positions in copper and aluminum. In agricultural, a long position in corn and a short position in cocoa resulted in losses, which were partially offset by small gains from a short position in sugar. Fixed income trading finished negative for the month. Short positions in Australian bonds and Euro-Schatz futures generated losses. Short positions in European and U.K. short-term rates, via Euribor and SONIA, also detracted.
In June, performance was negative for the month, with gains in currencies, stocks and credit trading outweighed by losses in commodities and fixed income trading. Commodities trading resulted in the most losses. Metals performed worst, with long positions in aluminum, gold, nickel and silver generating losses, while a short position in lead provided partially offsetting gains. Agricultural also contributed to losses, with short positions in cocoa and coffee detracting from performance the most. Long positions in soybean oil and soybeans also generated losses. In energies, a long position in crude oil resulted in losses, with only a short U.S. natural gas position generating profits. Currencies trading produced the most gains, although results were mixed. A short position in the Japanese yen resulted in positive returns as the currency depreciated against the U.S. dollar, and short positions in the Canadian dollar and Singapore dollar and a long position in the Colombian peso also generated gains. Long positions in the Norwegian krone, Israeli shekel and Australian dollar also resulted in losses. Stocks trading partially offset losses for the month. A long position in the Swiss Market Index led gains, with a short Hang Seng China Enterprises Index position and a long Russell 2000 Index position also resulting in profits. A long position in the S&P 500 Index and a short position in the Nifty 50 Index detracted from performance. Credit trading produced gains, with a long position in credit risk through short protection across European iTraxx indices contributing to performance. Fixed income trading was negative, with losses resulting from positions in longer-dated maturities. Gains derived from short positions in two-year U.S. Treasury bonds were outweighed by short positions in Euro-Bund Long-Term Futures (BUXL) bonds and Korean bonds. Rates trading produced gains with a short position in SOFR that was partly offset by short Euribor and SONIA positions.

The Partnership’s other expenses paid or accrued for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $ 237,337 In April, the Partnership returned a negative return with losses in FX, credit, commodities, and stocks outweighing gains from fixed income. The Partnership's positions in Switzerland's SMI and the Hang Seng produced losses, while a short position in the Russell 2000 Index generated a small offsetting gain. Long credit positions also generated losses. The US dollar trade-weighted index fell. Emerging Market currencies fell relative to the US dollar. Losses were incurred in the South African rand, and Brazilian real. US dollar positions against the Swedish krona and Indian rupee generated small offsetting gains. Within commodities, the main driver of negative performance was in metals, but there was far from a uniform story. A long gold position was profitable. A long silver, position on the other hand, was unprofitable . Within energies, US natural gas generated a loss, and in agricultural, profits from trading wheat were offset by losses from soybeans. Fixed income trading finished the month in the black, with gains from long positions in short-term rates almost offset by losses from mixed positioning in longer duration trades in the US and Germany.
In May, the Partnership’s performance was negative with losses in FX, commodities, and bonds outweighing gains from equities and credit. Long SONIA and Euribor suffered. Further out the curve, long Korean index positions added to losses. Commodities trading proved challenging as all sleeves ended in the red and Energies led losses. Long coffee drove agricultural to losses. Gains from longs in livestock were only able to partially offset. Metals compounded losses, with long precious the primary culprits. Currencies also were negative. The Partnership’s net long positioning in Credit was profitable. In a similar vein to earlier in the year, longs across Europe led gains, notably in FTSE Italia and DAX.
In June the performance of the Partnership was positive with gains in stocks, FX, credit and commodities offsetting minor losses in fixed income. June saw risk assets advance with both the S&P 500 and Korean Kospi hitting all-time highs leading to gains in long Korean Kospi. The Partnership’s broad-based short dollar exposure contributed to gains as well as a host of Latin American-dollar crosses, in particular the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso against the US dollar. Long Euro further added, complemented by gains from other emerging market and developed market dollar crosses. Gains in stocks were led by long Kospi. The Partnership's long positions in MSCI EM and US indices extended gains which were further compounded by high yield credit exposure in both the US and Europe. Commodities were mixed, with gains from agricultural and metals trading offsetting losses from energies. Shorts in sugar and corn proved profitable, with sugar prices falling. Long platinum and silver pushed metals into the black but were countered by losses from long exposure across the oil complex. In fixed income, long-end exposures contributed to offsetting gains from rates trading. Long Euribor led declines, while shorts in US treasuries compounded losses. Profits from long SONIA provided some relief.
The Partnership finished the quarter with negative returns in March net of fees, with losses from equities, credit and FX trading outweighing gains in commodity trading and nearly-flat performance from fixed income. The Partnership’s equity positions, many of which had transitioned from long to short by the end of the month, posted losses. Within indices, the worst performers were Sweden’s OM and India’s Nifty, while long positions in South Africa’s All Share and the Hang Seng generated offsetting gains. In FX trading, the Partnership’s short positions against the US dollar, such as the Indian rupee and Swiss franc, experienced losses, while offsetting gains were seen in the Partnership’s positions in the Polish zloty and Brazilian real that were long or moved to long against the US dollar early in the month. In the aggregate, fixed income trading was flat, but there was dispersion in individual positions. Losses were seen in the Partnership’s position on Euro short-term rates, while offsetting gains were seen in the Partnership’s long position in German bonds. Commodities trading finished in positive territory for the Partnership, driven by metals where gold had its largest quarterly rise since 1986 and a long silver position was also a top performer for the Partnership. Comparatively, the Partnership experienced some losses as oil prices continued to fluctuate, though a long US natural gas was also a top performer for the Partnership. Long positions in live and feeder cattle, however, helped generate gains for the Partnership’s agricultural trading, as prices hit new highshighs.
