Item 8.01 Other Events
Campbell & Company, Inc. (Campbell), managing owner and trading advisor of the Campbell Alternative Asset Trust (Trust), has made the decision to cease the Trust offering, effective April 22, 2011. The decision to cease the offering is the precursor to closing the Trust as of May 31, 2011. The Trust initially began trading in October 2001 but has not offered units to the public since December 2002; however, the registered units continued to be offered exclusively for sale to the Campbell & Company, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan).
The assets of the Trust are largely comprised (87%) of affiliated entities of Campbell; Campbell’s management team has elected to construct a more suitable entity to facilitate the Plan. The current, non-affiliated, investors in the Trust may have opportunities to invest in other Campbell fund or trust offerings based on suitability requirements and in consideration with ERISA capacity. This change is part of Campbell’s continuing efforts to focus administrative resources on our currently available offerings which hold the majority of Campbell & Company, Inc. assets.
