Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity - The Partnership deposits its assets with Morgan
Stanley DW as non-clearing broker and MS & Co. and MSIL as
clearing brokers in separate futures, forwards and options trading
accounts established for the Trading Advisor, which assets are
used as margin to engage in trading. The assets are held in either
non-interest-bearing bank accounts or in securities and
instruments permitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
for investment of customer segregated or secured funds. The
Partnership's assets held by the commodity brokers may be used as
margin solely for the Partnership's trading. Since the
Partnership's sole purpose is to trade in futures, forwards and
options, it is expected that the Partnership will continue to own
such liquid assets for margin purposes.
The Partnership's investment in futures, forwards and options may,
from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges limit
fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred
to as "daily price fluctuations limits" or "daily limits". Trades
may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If the
price for a particular futures or options contract has increased
or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in
that futures or options contract can neither be taken nor
liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or
within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the
daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no
trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership
from promptly liquidating its futures or options contracts and
result in restrictions on redemptions.
The Partnership has never had illiquidity affect a material
portion of its assets.
Capital Resources. The Partnership does not have, nor expect to
have, any capital assets. Redemptions, exchanges and sales of
additional Units in the future will affect the amount of funds
available for investment in futures, forwards and options in
subsequent periods. It is not possible to estimate the amount and
therefore the impact of future redemptions of Units.
Results of Operations.
General. The Partnership's results depend on the Trading Advisor
and the ability of the Trading Advisor's trading programs to take
advantage of price movements or other profit opportunities in the
futures, forwards and options markets. The following presents a
summary of the Partnership's operations for the three years ended
December 31, 2001, and a general discussion of its trading
activities during each period. It is important to note, however,
that the Trading Advisor trades in various markets at different
times and that prior activity in a particular market does not
mean that such market will be actively traded by the Trading
Advisor or will be profitable in the future. Consequently, the
results of operations of the Partnership are difficult to discuss
other than in the context of the Trading Advisor's trading
activities on behalf of the Partnership and how the Partnership
has performed in the past.
At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's total capital was
$12,974,679, a decrease of $7,225,302 from the Partnership's total
capital of $20,199,981 at December 31, 2000. For the year ended
December 31, 2001, the Partnership generated a net loss of
$4,888,302, total subscriptions aggregated $1,838,372 and total
redemptions aggregated $4,175,372.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership recorded
total trading losses, net of interest income, of $3,751,629 and
posted a decrease in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant losses of approximately 9.7% were recorded in the
energy markets throughout a majority of the year from long
positions in natural gas futures as prices reversed the sharp
upward trend experienced in late 2000 amid reports of increased
inventories and forecasts for favorable weather. In the metals
markets, losses of approximately 6.5% were experienced throughout
a majority of the year from long positions in copper and aluminum
futures as the slowdown in the U.S. economy and weak demand drove
prices lower. In the agricultural markets, losses of
approximately 5.8% were incurred from long positions in corn and
wheat futures as prices moved lower due to favorable weather
forecasts and on reports of declining demand. In the soft
commodities markets, losses of approximately 2.3% were recorded
throughout a majority of the year from long cotton futures
positions as prices moved lower on weak export sales and low
demand. Total expenses for the year were $1,136,673, resulting
in a net loss of $4,888,302. The net asset value of a Unit
decreased from $7.85 at December 31, 2000 to $5.84 at December 31,
2001.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership's total capital was
$20,199,981, a decrease of $3,440,489 from the Partnership's total
capital of $23,640,470 at December 31, 1999. For the year ended
December 31, 2000, the Partnership generated net income of
$622,362, total subscriptions aggregated $2,115,964 and total
redemptions aggregated $6,178,815.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $2,176,463
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. The most
significant gains of approximately 16.4% were recorded in the
energy markets primarily during May from long positions in
natural gas futures as prices trended higher, as data released by
the American Gas Association further confirmed fears that
inventory levels remain low. During August, November and
December, additional gains were recorded from long positions in
natural gas futures as prices climbed to all time highs amid
supply and storage concerns. Additional gains were recorded
during January and February from long futures positions in crude
oil and its refined products as oil prices increased on concerns
about future output levels from the world's leading producer
countries amid dwindling stockpiles and increasing demand. A
portion of the Partnership's overall gains was partially offset
by losses of approximately 5.6% recorded in the metals markets
throughout a majority of the year from long silver futures
positions as silver prices declined on technically-based factors.
Additional losses were incurred from long aluminum and copper
futures positions as prices moved lower during February and
October due primarily to technically-based selling. In soft
commodities, losses of approximately 4.6% were experienced
primarily during January and February from long coffee futures
positions as coffee prices declined in the wake of forecasts for
a bumper crop in Brazil. Additional losses were recorded
throughout a majority of the second and fourth quarters from long
coffee futures positions as prices decreased. Total expenses for
the year were $1,554,101, resulting in net income of $622,362.
The net asset value of a Unit increased from $7.61 at December
31, 1999 to $7.85 at December 31, 2000.
At December 31, 1999, the Partnership's total capital was
$23,640,470, a decrease of $1,267,846 from the Partnership's total
capital of $24,908,316 at December 31, 1998. For the year ended
December 31, 1999, the Partnership generated net income of
$3,375,789 and total redemptions aggregated $4,643,635.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership recorded
total trading revenues, including interest income, of $5,045,724
and posted an increase in net asset value per Unit. During 1999,
commodity market price behavior returned to the more normal
pattern of some commodities gaining in price, while other
commodities declined in price. Of the seventeen components of
the Bridge Commodity Research Bureau Index ("CRB"), ten increased
in price during 1999, while the remaining seven declined in
price. This was noticeably different from 1998, when all but one
of the components of the CRB declined in price. Energy markets,
which had been the worst performing sector during 1998, rebounded
strongly to become the best performing commodity sector in 1999,
which resulted in gains for the Partnership of approximately
13.35%. OPEC, which had suffered economically as their late 1997
decision to expand production coincided with the onset of
economic difficulties in virtually all of the world's emerging
economies, cooperated with other major global oil producing
countries to rein in production and allow for the drawing down of
inventories that had grown steadily throughout 1998. Crude oil,
its refined products, and natural gas all benefited from the
improving global demand for energy and the decreased supply of
crude oil. Base metals markets also improved in price during
1999 resulting in gains of approximately 8.55%. Historically,
copper has been referred to by some as "the world's economist",
rising in price as economic activity improves and falling in
price when economic difficulties are encountered. During both
1998 and 1999, copper served as an accurate barometer of global
economic health. Copper producers' decisions to curtail
production in the short-term helped support prices. Perhaps more
importantly for the long-term, the consolidation of major mining
companies in both copper and aluminum bodes well for less over-
expansion during future periods of elevated prices, likely
leading to "higher highs" and "higher lows" in future price
cycles. Precious metals prices also improved modestly during
1999. After several years of lower gold prices, with central
banks continuing to sell despite the lower prices, an announcement
by a group of European central banks abruptly reversed the price
slide and caught many short-sellers off guard. For 1999, gold was
up in price by less than 1%, while silver and platinum, which have
significant industrial demand, fared much better. Grain markets
continued to suffer in price during 1999 resulting in a loss of
approximately 5.37%. Despite an early summer scare caused by dry
weather, overall conditions were favorable for another good
harvest. As the year drew to a close, improved demand finally
surfaced, perhaps signaling an end to multi-decade low prices.
Total expenses for the year were $1,669,935, resulting in net
income of $3,375,789. The net asset value of a Unit increased
from $6.57 at December 31, 1998 to $7.61 at December 31, 1999.
The Partnership's overall performance record represents varied
results of trading in different futures, forwards and options
markets. For a further description of 2001 trading results, refer
to the letter to the Limited Partners in the accompanying Annual
Report to Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 2001,
which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form
10-K. The Partnership's gains and losses are allocated among its
partners for income tax purposes.
Credit Risk.
Financial Instruments. The Partnership is a party to financial
instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit
risk. The Partnership may trade futures, forwards and options in
precious and base metals, agricultural and energy products, and
other commodity interests. In entering into these contracts, the
Partnership is subject to the market risk that such contracts may
be significantly influenced by market conditions, resulting in
such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move
against all of the positions held by the Partnership at the same
time, and if the Trading Advisor were unable to offset positions
of the Partnership, the Partnership could lose all of its assets
and investors would realize a 100% loss.
In addition to the Trading Advisor's internal controls, the
Trading Advisor must comply with the trading policies of the
Partnership. These trading policies include standards for
liquidity and leverage with which the Partnership must comply.
The Trading Advisor and Demeter monitor the Partnership's trading
activities to ensure compliance with the trading policies.
Demeter may require the Trading Advisor to modify positions of
the Partnership if Demeter believes they violate the
Partnership's trading policies.
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward and
options contracts there is a credit risk to the Partnership that
the counterparty on a contract will not be able to meet its
obligations to the Partnership. The ultimate counterparty or
guarantor of the Partnership for futures contracts traded in the
United States and the foreign exchanges on which the Partnership
trades is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In
general, a clearinghouse is backed by the membership of the
exchange and will act in the event of non-performance by one of
its members or one of its member's customers, which should
significantly reduce this credit risk. For example, a
clearinghouse may cover a default by drawing upon a defaulting
member's mandatory contributions and/or non-defaulting members'
contributions to a clearinghouse guarantee fund, established
lines or letters of credit with banks, and/or the clearinghouse's
surplus capital and other available assets of the exchange and
clearinghouse, or assessing its members. In cases where the
Partnership trades off-exchange forward contracts with a
counterparty, the sole recourse of the Partnership will be the
forward contracts counterparty.
There is no assurance that a clearinghouse, exchange or exchange
member will meet its obligations to the Partnership, and Demeter
and the commodity brokers will not indemnify the Partnership
against a default by such parties. Further, the law is unclear as
- 19 -
to whether a commodity broker has any obligation to protect its
customers from loss in the event of an exchange or clearinghouse
defaulting on trades effected for the broker's customers. Any
such obligation on the part of a broker appears even less clear
where the default occurs in a non-U.S. jurisdiction.
Demeter deals with these credit risks of the Partnership in
several ways. First, it monitors the Partnership's credit
exposure to each exchange on a daily basis, calculating not only
the amount of margin required for it but also the amount of its
unrealized gains at each exchange, if any. The commodity brokers
inform the Partnership, as with all their customers, of its net
margin requirements for all its existing open positions, but do
not break that net figure down, exchange by exchange. Demeter,
however, has installed a system which permits it to monitor the
Partnership's potential margin liability, exchange by exchange.
As a result, Demeter is able to monitor the Partnership's
potential net credit exposure to each exchange by adding the
unrealized trading gains on that exchange, if any, to the
Partnership's margin liability thereon.
Second, the Partnership's trading policies limit the amount of
its net assets that can be committed at any given time to futures
contracts and require, in addition, a minimum amount of
diversification in the Partnership's trading, usually over
several different products. One of the aims of such trading
policies has been to reduce the credit exposure of the
Partnership to a single exchange and, historically, the
Partnership's exposure to any one exchange has typically amounted
to only a small percentage of its total net assets. On those
relatively few occasions where the Partnership's credit exposure
may climb above that level, Demeter deals with the situation on a
case by case basis, carefully weighing whether the increased
level of credit exposure remains appropriate. Material changes
to the trading policies may be made only with the prior written
approval of the limited partners owning more than 50% of Units
then outstanding.
Third, with respect to forward contract trading, the Partnership
trades with only those counterparties which Demeter, together
with Morgan Stanley DW, have determined to be creditworthy. The
Partnership presently deals with MS & Co. as the sole
counterparty on forward contracts.
Inflation has not been a major factor in the Partnership's
operations.
See "Financial Instruments" under Notes to Financial Statements
in the Partnership's Annual Report to Limited Partners for the
year ended December 31, 2001, which is incorporated by reference
to Exhibit 13.01 of this Form 10-K.
Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Introduction
The Partnership is a commodity pool engaged primarily in the
speculative trading of futures, forwards and options. The market-
sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired for
speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets are at risk of
trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-
sensitive instruments is central, not incidental, to the
Partnership's main business activities.
The futures, forwards and options traded by the Partnership
involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is
often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of
interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial
instruments and commodities. Fluctuations in market risk based
upon these factors result in frequent changes in the fair value
of the Partnership's open positions, and, consequently, in its
earnings and cash flow.
The Partnership's total market risk is influenced by a wide
variety of factors, including the diversification among the
Partnership's open positions, the volatility present within the
markets, and the liquidity of the markets. At different times,
each of these factors may act to increase or decrease the market
risk associated with the Partnership.
The Partnership's past performance is not necessarily indicative
of its future results. Any attempt to numerically quantify the
Partnership's market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its
speculative trading. The Partnership's speculative trading may
cause future losses and volatility (i.e. "risk of ruin") that far
exceed the Partnership's experiences to date or any reasonable
expectations based upon historical changes in market value.
Quantifying the Partnership's Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's
market risk exposures contain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for
such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All
quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-
looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for
statements of historical fact.
The Partnership accounts for open positions using mark-to-market
accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of the
Partnership's open positions is directly reflected in the
Partnership's earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and its
cash flow. Profits and losses on open positions of exchange-
traded futures, forwards and options are settled daily through
variation margin.
The Partnership's risk exposure in the market sectors traded by
the Trading Advisor is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk
("VaR"). The VaR model used by the Partnership includes many
variables that could change the market value of the Partnership's
trading portfolio. The Partnership estimates VaR using a model
based upon historical simulation with a confidence level of 99%.
Historical simulation involves constructing a distribution of
hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio.
The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to price and
interest rate risk. Market risks that are incorporated in the
VaR model include equity and commodity prices, interest rates,
foreign exchange rates, and correlation among these variables.
The hypothetical changes in portfolio value are based on daily
percentage changes observed in key market indices or other market
factors ("market risk factors") to which the portfolio is
sensitive. The historical observation period of the Partnership's
VaR is approximately four years. The one-day 99% confidence
level of the Partnership's VaR corresponds to the negative change
in portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors,
would have been exceeded once in 100 trading days.
VaR models, including the Partnership's, are continuously
evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling
techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that
the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for
historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either
Demeter or the Trading Advisor in their daily risk management
activities.
The Partnership's Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors
The following table indicates the VaR associated with the
Partnership's open positions as a percentage of total net assets
by primary market risk category at December 31, 2001 and 2000. At
December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's total
capitalization was approximately $13 million and $20 million,
respectively.
Primary Market December 31, 2001 December 31, 2000
Risk Category Value at Risk Value at Risk
Commodity (1.55)% (1.64)%
The table above represents the VaR of the Partnership's open
positions at December 31, 2001 and 2000 only and is not
necessarily representative of either the historic or future risk
of an investment in the Partnership. Because the Partnership's
only business is the speculative trading of futures, forwards and
options, the composition of its trading portfolio can change
significantly over any given time period, or even within a single
trading day. Any changes in open positions could positively or
negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.
The table below supplements the December 31, 2001 VaR by
presenting the Partnership's high, low and average VaR, as a
percentage of total net assets for the four quarterly reporting
periods from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001.
Primary Market Risk Category High Low Average
Commodity (1.58)% (1.55)% (1.57)%
Limitations on Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk
The face value of the market sector instruments held by the
Partnership is typically many times the applicable margin
requirements. Margin requirements generally range between 2% and
15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of leverage
causes the face value of the market sector instruments held by
the Partnership to typically be many times the total
capitalization of the Partnership. The value of the
Partnership's open positions thus creates a "risk of ruin" not
typically found in other investments. The relative size of the
positions held may cause the Partnership to incur losses greatly
in excess of VaR within a short period of time, given the effects
of the leverage employed and market volatility. The VaR tables
above, as well as the past performance of the Partnership, give
no indication of such "risk of ruin". In addition, VaR risk
measures should be viewed in light of the methodology's
limitations, which include the following:
? past changes in market risk factors will not always result in
accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of
future market movements;
? changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may
differ from those of the VaR model;
? VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk
depends on future positions;
? VaR using a one-day time horizon does not fully capture the
market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged
within one day; and
? the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation
may provide only limited insight into losses that could be
incurred under certain unusual market movements.
The VaR tables above present the results of the Partnership's VaR
for the Partnership's market risk exposure at December 31, 2001
and 2000, and for the end of the four quarterly reporting periods
during calendar year 2001. Since VaR is based on historical
data, VaR should not be viewed as predictive of the Partnership's
future financial performance or its ability to manage or monitor
risk. There can be no assurance that the Partnership's actual
losses on a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts
indicated above or that such losses will not occur more than once
in 100 trading days.
Non-Trading Risk
The Partnership has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash
balances not needed for margin. These balances and any market
risk they may represent are immaterial.
At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's cash balance at Morgan
Stanley DW was approximately 95% of its total net asset value. A
decline in short-term interest rates will result in a decline in
the Partnership's cash management income. This cash flow risk is
not considered to be material.
Materiality, as used throughout this section, is based on an
assessment of reasonably possible market movements and any
associated potential losses, taking into account the leverage,
optionality and multiplier features of the Partnership's market-
sensitive instruments, in relation to the Partnership's net
assets.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Partnership's
market risk exposures - except for (A) those disclosures that are
statements of historical fact and (B) the descriptions of how the
Partnership manages its primary market risk exposures -
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act. The Partnership's primary market risk
exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by
Demeter and the Trading Advisor for managing such exposures are
subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any
one of which could cause the actual results of the Partnership's
risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such
strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expro-
priations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant
fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical
price relationships, an influx of new market participants,
increased regulation and many other factors could result in
material losses as well as in material changes to the risk
exposures and the risk management strategies of the Partnership.
Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of
their investment in the Partnership.
The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the
Partnership at December 31, 2001, by market sector. It may be
anticipated, however, that these market exposures will vary
materially over time.
Commodity.
Soft Commodities and Agriculturals. At December 31, 2001,
the Partnership had exposure to the markets that comprise
these sectors. Most of the exposure was to the cocoa,
coffee, wheat and corn markets. Supply and demand
inequalities, severe weather disruption and market
expectations affect price movements in these markets.
Metals. The Partnership's metals exposure at December 31,
2001 was to fluctuations in the price of precious metals,
such as gold, silver and to a lesser extent, platinum, and
base metals, such as copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc and
lead. Economic forces, supply and demand inequalities,
geopolitical factors and market expectations influence price
movement in these markets. The Trading Advisor has, from
time to time, taken positions when market opportunities
develop. Demeter anticipates that the Partnership will
continue to be exposed to the precious and base metals
markets.
Energy. At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's energy
exposure was shared primarily by futures contracts in crude
oil and its related products, and natural gas. Price
movements in these markets result from political
developments in the Middle East, weather patterns and other
economic fundamentals. It is possible that volatility will
remain high. Significant profits and losses, which have
been experienced in the past, are expected to continue to be
experienced in these markets. Natural gas has exhibited
volatility in prices resulting from weather patterns and
supply and demand factors and may continue in this choppy
pattern.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure
At December 31, 2001, there was no non-trading risk exposure
because the Partnership did not have any foreign currency
balances.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
The Partnership and the Trading Advisor, separately, attempt to
manage the risk of the Partnership's open positions in
essentially the same manner in all market categories traded.
Demeter attempts to manage market exposure by diversifying the
Partnership's assets among different markets and trading
approaches, and monitoring the performance of the Trading Advisor
daily. In addition, the Trading Advisor establishes
diversification guidelines, often set in terms of the maximum
margin to be committed to positions in any one market sector or
market-sensitive instrument.
Demeter monitors and controls the risk of the Partnership's non-
trading instrument, cash. Cash is the only Partnership
investment directed by Demeter, rather than the Trading Advisor.

Annual Report
2001
Dear Limited Partner:
This marks the eighth annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Global
Balanced, Morgan Stanley Spectrum Strategic and Morgan Stanley Spectrum
Technical, the eleventh annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Select, the
fourth annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Commodity and the second
annual report for Morgan Stanley Spectrum Currency. The Net Asset Value per
Unit for each of the six Morgan Stanley Spectrum Funds as of December 31, 2001
was as follows:
Funds N.A.V. % change for year
----- ------ -----------------
Spectrum Commodity $ 5.84 -25.6%
Spectrum Currency $12.41 11.1%
Spectrum Global Balanced $16.21 -0.3%
Spectrum Select $23.96 1.7%
Spectrum Strategic $10.55 -0.6%
Spectrum Technical $14.93 -7.2%
Spectrum Commodity
During the year, the Fund recorded a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant losses were experienced in the energy markets throughout a
majority of the year from long positions in natural gas futures as prices
reversed the sharp upward trend experienced in late 2000 amid reports of
increased inventories and forecasts for favorable weather. In the metals
markets, losses were experienced throughout a majority of the year from long
positions in copper and aluminum futures as the slowdown in the U.S. economy
and weak demand drove prices lower. In the agricultural markets, losses were
incurred from long positions in corn and wheat futures as prices moved lower
due to favorable weather forecasts and on reports of declining demand. In the
soft commodities markets, losses were recorded throughout a majority of the
year from long cotton futures positions as prices moved lower on weak export
sales and low demand.
Spectrum Currency
During the year, the Fund recorded an increase in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant gains were recorded primarily in the South African rand from
previously established short positions in September, November and December as
its value trended lower relative to the U.S. dollar on global economic jitters
and emerging market concerns following Argentina's debt default. Profits were
recorded from previously established short positions in the Japanese yen early
in the year and again in December as the value of the yen weakened relative to
the U.S. dollar on continuing concerns for the Japanese economy. A portion of
the Fund's overall gains was partially offset by losses recorded in the British
pound primarily during May and early June from previously established long
positions as its value reversed lower relative to the U.S. dollar in reaction
to reports that British Prime Minister Blair will push for Great Britain's
entry into the European Monetary Union.
Spectrum Global Balanced
During the year, the Fund recorded a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant losses were incurred primarily in the global stock index
futures markets throughout a majority of the first three quarters from long
positions in FTSE, DAX and S&P 500 Index futures as equity prices moved lower
amid worries regarding global economic uncertainty. In the energy markets,
losses were recorded throughout the year from positions in crude oil futures
and its related products as a result of volatility in oil prices due to a
continually changing outlook for supply, production and demand. A portion of
the Fund's overall losses was partially offset by gains recorded in the global
interest rate futures markets primarily during January and again in the third
quarter from previously established long positions in U.S. and European
interest rate futures as prices trended higher amid continued economic concerns
and interest rate cuts by the U.S. and European central banks. In the currency
markets, profits were recorded throughout a majority of the fourth quarter from
previously established short positions in the South African rand as its value
trended lower relative to the U.S. dollar while global economic jitters
persisted.
Spectrum Select
During the year, the Fund recorded an increase in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant gains were recorded primarily in the global interest rate
futures markets during August, September and October from previously
established long positions in U.S. interest rate futures as prices trended
higher following interest rate cuts by the U.S. and European central banks. In
the global stock index futures markets, profits were recorded throughout a
majority of the third quarter from previously established short positions in
DAX, Hang Seng, Nikkei and S&P 500 Index futures as the trend in equity prices
continued sharply lower amid worries regarding global economic uncertainty. A
portion of the Fund's overall gains was partially offset by losses recorded in
the energy markets throughout a majority of the fourth quarter from volatile
price movement in natural gas futures as a result of a continually changing
outlook for supply, production and demand.
Spectrum Strategic
During the year, the Fund recorded a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant losses were experienced primarily in the currency markets
throughout a majority of the fourth quarter from transactions involving the
euro and Swiss franc. In the global stock index futures markets, losses were
experienced throughout a majority of the first quarter from long positions in
U.S. stock index futures as U.S. stock prices declined after discouraging
corporate earnings warnings, inflationary news and on worries of a U.S.
economic slowdown. A portion of the Fund's overall losses was partially offset
by gains recorded in the soft commodities markets primarily during September
and November from long cocoa futures positions as prices soared higher on
expectations that global demand will outpace production. Additional gains were
recorded primarily during April, May and December from long lumber futures
positions as prices increased amid low inventories and on hopes of a pickup in
the U.S. economy.
Limited Partners of Spectrum Strategic are advised of a change in trading
personnel at one of the trading advisors employed by the Fund. Effective
January 1, 2002, Allied Irish Capital Management, Ltd., a trading advisor
to the Fund, announced the retirement of Mr. David Tease, a Director of Allied
Irish. Allied Irish trades its allocated portion of Fund assets pursuant to the
Worldwide Financial Futures Program, a portion of which was traded by Mr.
Tease, as discussed on page 101 of the Prospectus dated March 23, 2001.
Commencing on or about January 17, 2002, that portion of the Worldwide
Financial Futures Program previously traded by Mr. Tease (approximately $8.1
million, or 11.8% of Fund assets) is being traded by Mr. Gerry Grimes. Mr.
Grimes is Managing Director and a founding member of Allied Irish, with nearly
twenty years of experience in investment management. Mr. Grimes will employ a
discretionary trading approach based upon his fundamental economic analysis of
markets. He believes that the positioning of individual markets is a critical
factor in determining trading opportunities. Hence, he will place strong
emphasis on the gathering of intelligence in relation to market sentiment and
trade flow indicators to determine how individual markets are positioned. Mr.
Grimes will attempt to profit from those instances in which he determines that
a market is positioned in a manner contrary to his own fundamental view.
Pre-determined stop loss levels will be applied to all trades in an effort to
manage trade risk. In addition to trading a portion of the Fund's assets, Mr.
Grimes will continue in his role as trading controller for all three programs
employed in the Worldwide Financial Futures Program.
Spectrum Technical
During the year, the Fund recorded a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit. The
most significant losses were recorded primarily in the energy markets
throughout the first nine months of the year from trading in crude oil futures
and its related products as a result of volatility in oil prices due to a
continually changing outlook for supply, production and demand. A portion of
the Fund's overall losses was partially offset by gains recorded in the global
interest rate futures markets primarily during August, September and October
from previously established long positions in U.S. interest rate futures as
prices trended higher following interest rate cuts by the U.S. and European
central banks. In the global stock index futures markets, profits were recorded
throughout a majority of the third quarter from previously established short
positions in DAX and Nikkei index futures as the trend in equity prices con-
tinued sharply lower amid worries regarding global economic uncertainty.
