1. General:
Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P. (the Partnership) is a limited partnership that was organized on
July 7, 2003 under the partnership laws of the State of New York. The objective of the Partnership
is to achieve capital appreciation through the allocation of assets to a blind pool of
early-stage commodity trading advisors which engage, directly and indirectly, in speculative
trading of a diversified portfolio of commodity interests, including futures contracts, options and
forward contracts. The Partnership may also enter into swap and other derivative transactions with
the approval of the General Partner (defined below). The sectors traded include currencies,
livestock, energy, grains, metals, indices, softs, and U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates. The
Partnership and the Funds, (as defined in Note 5 Investment in Funds) may trade futures, forward
and option contracts of any kind. The commodity interests that are traded by the Partnership and
the Funds are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk.
Between December 1, 2003 (commencement of the offering period) and August 5, 2004, 20,872
redeemable units of limited partnership interest (Redeemable Units) were sold at $1,000 per
Redeemable Unit. The proceeds of the initial offering were held in an escrow account until August
6, 2004, at which time they were remitted to the Partnership for
trading. The Partnership privately and continuously offers Redeemable
Units in the Partnership to qualified investors. There is no maximum
number of Redeemable Units that may be sold by the Partnership.
Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner
(the General Partner) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. The General Partner is
wholly owned by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (MSSB Holdings). Morgan Stanley,
indirectly through various subsidiaries, owns a majority equity interest in MSSB Holdings.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (CGM), the commodity broker and a selling agent for the
Partnership, owns a minority equity interest in MSSB Holdings. Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup),
indirectly through various subsidiaries, wholly owns CGM. Prior to July 31, 2009, the date as of
which MSSB Holdings became its owner, the General Partner was wholly owned by Citigroup Financial
Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., the sole owner
of which is Citigroup.
As of March 31, 2011, all trading decisions are made for the Partnership by its eleven trading
advisors (the Advisors) either directly, through individually managed accounts, or indirectly,
through investments in other collective investment vehicles. As indicated above, the Partnership
allocates its assets to a blind pool of trading advisors which refers to the fact that detailed
information about the advisors, such as their backgrounds, individual trading strategies and past
performance records has not been, and is not expected to be, provided to investors. The General
Partner has chosen not to disclose such information because, among other reasons, the advisors
engaged to trade on behalf of the Partnership may have little or no performance histories and the
mix of advisors may change frequently as new advisors are identified and others progress beyond the
emerging stage. The Advisors are not affiliated with one another, are not affiliated with the
General Partner or CGM and are not responsible for the organization or operation of the
Partnership.
The accompanying financial statements and accompanying notes are unaudited but, in the opinion
of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair statement of the Partnerships financial condition at March 31, 2011 and December 31,
2010, and the results of its operations and changes in partners capital for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements present the results of interim periods and do
not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. You should read these
financial statements together with the financial statements and notes included in the Partnerships
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for the
year ended December 31, 2010.
The General Partner and each limited partner of the Partnership (each a Limited Partner)
share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of Partnership
interest owned by each except that no Limited Partner shall be liable for obligations of the
Partnership in excess of such Limited Partners capital contribution and profits, if any, net of
distributions.
The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Due to the nature of commodity trading, the results of operations for the interim periods
presented should not be considered indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
year.

The Partnership was formed for the purpose of trading contracts in a variety of commodity

4. Fair Value Measurements:
Partnerships and the Funds Investments. All commodity interests held by the Partnership and
Funds (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held
for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are
recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity
interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates
prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated.
Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading
account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and any change in
net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income
and Expenses and Changes in Partners Capital.
Partnerships and the Funds Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable
inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in
its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement in its entirety. Management has concluded that based on available
information in the marketplace, the Partnerships and the Funds Level 1 assets and liabilities are
actively traded.
GAAP also requires the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has
become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. Management has
concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a significant
decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Partnerships and the Funds Level 2 assets and
liabilities.
The Partnership and the Funds will separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and
settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value
measurements (i.e., to present such items
on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and make disclosures regarding the level of
disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements
that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as required under GAAP.
The Partnership and the Funds consider prices for exchange-traded commodity futures, forwards
and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange-traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts
for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair
values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). Investments in funds (other commodity
pools) where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held
by the Partnership are priced based on the end of the day net asset value (Level 2). The value of
the Partnerships investments in the Funds reflects its proportional interest in the Funds. As of
and for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership and the Funds did
not hold any derivative instruments that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through
the application of managements assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

6. Financial Instrument Risks:
In the normal course of business, the Partnership and the Funds are parties to financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk, including derivative financial instruments and derivative
commodity instruments. These financial instruments may include forwards, futures, options and
swaps, whose values are based upon an underlying asset, index, or reference rate, and generally
represent future commitments to exchange currencies or cash balances, to purchase or sell other
financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates, or, in the case of derivative
commodity instruments, to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash, through physical
delivery or with another financial instrument. These instruments may be traded on an exchange or
over-the-counter (OTC). Exchange-traded instruments are standardized and include futures and
certain forwards and option contracts. OTC contracts are negotiated between contracting parties and
include certain forwards and option contracts. Each of these instruments is subject to various
risks similar to those related to the underlying financial
instruments, including market and credit
risk. In general, the risks associated with OTC contracts are greater than those associated with
exchange-traded instruments because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to an OTC
contract.
The risk to the Limited Partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited
to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of the
Partnerships assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the
organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by
the Partnership/Funds due to market changes, including interest and foreign exchange rate movements
and fluctuations in commodity or security prices. Market risk is directly impacted by the
volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying assets are traded. The
Partnership/Funds are exposed to a market risk equal to the value of futures and forward contracts
purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to
perform according to the terms of a contract. The Partnerships/Funds risk of loss in the event of
a counterparty default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of
Financial Condition and is not represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments. The
Partnerships/Funds risk of loss is reduced through the use of legally enforceable master netting
agreements with counterparties that permit the Partnership/Funds to offset unrealized gains and
losses and other assets and liabilities with such counterparties upon the occurrence of certain
events. The Partnership/Funds have credit risk and concentration risk as the sole counterparty or
broker with respect to the Partnerships/Funds assets is CGM or a CGM affiliate. Credit risk with
respect to exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent, that through CGM, the
Partnerships/Funds counterparty is an exchange or clearing organization.
As both a buyer and seller of options, the Partnership/Funds pay or receive a premium at the
outset and then bear the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the contract underlying the
option. Written options expose the Partnership/Funds to potentially unlimited liability; for
purchased options the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. Certain written put options
permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder to own the reference asset. The
Partnership/Funds do not consider these contracts to be guarantees.
The General Partner monitors and attempts to control the Partnerships/Funds risk exposure on
a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly,
believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks
to which the Partnership/Funds may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General
Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk-adjusted performance indicators
and correlation statistics. In addition,
15
Emerging CTA Portfolio L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
March 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
online monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures, exchange-cleared swaps, forwards and
options positions by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral
positions.
The majority of these instruments mature within one year of the inception date. However, due
to the nature of the Partnerships/Funds business, these instruments may not be held to maturity.
7. Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Partnerships and Funds Investments. All commodity interests held by the Partnership and the
Funds (including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments) are held
for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are
recorded at fair value (as described below) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity
interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates
prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated.
Unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading
account on the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and any change in
net unrealized gains or losses from the preceding period are reported in the Statements of Income
and Expenses and Changes in Partners Capital.
Partnerships and Funds Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable
inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in
its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement in its entirety. Management has concluded that based on available
information in the marketplace, the Partnerships and the Funds Level 1 assets and liabilities are
actively traded.
GAAP also requires the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has
become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. Management has
concluded that based on available information in the marketplace, there has not been a significant
decrease in the volume and level of activity in the Partnerships and the Funds Level 2 assets and
liabilities.
The Partnership and the Funds will separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and
settlements in their reconciliation of Level 3 fair value
measurements (i.e., to present such items
on a gross basis rather than on a net basis), and make disclosures regarding the level of
disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for measurements
that fall within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as required under GAAP.
The Partnership and the Funds consider prices for exchange-traded commodity futures, forwards
and options contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange-traded forwards, swaps and certain options contracts
for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers who derive fair
values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). Investments in funds (other commodity
pools) where there are no other rights or obligations inherent within the ownership interest held
by the Partnership are priced based on the end of the day net asset value (Level 2). The value of
the Partnerships investments in the Funds reflects its proportional interest in the Funds. As of
and for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Partnership and the Funds did
not hold any derivative instruments that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through
the application of managements assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).
Futures
Contracts. The Partnership and the Funds trade futures contracts and exchange-cleared
swaps. Exchange-cleared swaps are swaps that are traded as futures. A futures contract is a firm
commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of investments, currency or a standardized amount of
a deliverable grade commodity, at a specified price on a specified future date, unless the contract
is closed before the delivery date or if the delivery quantity is something where physical delivery
cannot occur (such as the S&P 500 Index), whereby such contract is settled in cash. Payments
(variation margin) may be made or received by the Partnership and the Funds each business day,
depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying contracts, and are recorded as
unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and the Funds. When the contract is closed, the
Partnership and the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value
of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Transactions in
futures contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or other assets
and variation margin deposits directly with the exchange on which the contracts are traded. Net
realized gains (losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are
included in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners Capital.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Foreign currency contracts are those contracts where the
Partnership and the Funds agree to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an
agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily, and the
Partnerships and Funds net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts
as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into
the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of
Financial Condition. Net realized gains (losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on
foreign currency contracts are recognized in the period in which the contract is closed or the
changes occur and are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners
Capital.
The
Partnership and the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising
from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes
in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in net gain (loss) on
investments in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners Capital.
London Metals Exchange Forward Contracts. Metal contracts traded on the London Metals Exchange
(LME) represent a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of aluminum, copper, lead,
nickel, tin or zinc. LME contracts traded by the Partnership and the Funds are cash settled based
on prompt dates published by the LME. Payments (variation margin) may be made or received by the
Partnership and the Funds each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of
the underlying contracts, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Partnership and the
Funds. A contract is considered offset when all long positions have been matched with a like number
of short positions settling on the same prompt date. When the contract is closed at the prompt
date, the Partnership and the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between
the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Transactions in LME contracts require participants to make both initial margin deposits of cash or
other assets and variation margin deposits, through the broker, directly with the LME. Net realized
gains (losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on metal contracts are included in the
Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners Capital.
Options. The Partnership/Funds may purchase and write (sell) both exchange listed and OTC
options on commodities or financial instruments. An option is a contract allowing, but not
requiring, its holder to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific or standard commodity or financial
instrument at a specified price during a specified time period. The option premium is the total
price paid or received for the option contract. When the Partnership/Funds write an option, the
premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to
market daily. When the Partnership/Funds purchase an option, the premium paid is recorded as an
asset in the Statements of Financial Condition and marked to market daily. Net realized gains
(losses) and changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on options contracts are included in the
Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners Capital.
Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for
the taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnerships income and expenses.
GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured,
presented and disclosed in the financial statements and requires the evaluation of tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnerships financial statements to
determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the applicable
tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Partnership level not deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year.
The General Partner has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnerships
financial statements.
The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax
returns are currently under examination. Generally, the 2007 through 2010 tax years remain subject
to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. Management does not believe that
there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Subsequent Events. Management of the Partnership evaluates events that occur after the balance
sheet date but before financial statements are filed. Management has assessed the subsequent events
through the date of filing and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring
adjustment of or disclosure in the financial statements.
Net Income (Loss) per unit. Net income (loss) per unit is calculated in accordance with
investment company guidance. See Note 2, Financial Highlights.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. Its assets are its (i)
investment in the Funds, (ii) equity in its trading account, consisting of cash, net unrealized
appreciation on open futures contracts and net unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts,
and (iii) interest receivables. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in futures
trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership,
through its direct investments and investment in the Funds. While substantial losses could lead to
a material decrease in liquidity, no such illiquidity occurred in the first quarter of 2011.
The Partnerships capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased
or decreased by net realized and/or unrealized gains or losses on trading and by expenses, interest
income, subscriptions, redemptions of Redeemable Units and distributions of profits, if any.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, Partnership capital increased 5.4% from
$183,525,601 to $193,377,072. This increase was attributable by the subscriptions of 14,087.7825
Redeemable Units totaling $20,606,111, which was partially offset by a net loss from operations of
$5,306,211 coupled with the redemption of 3,763.4126 Redeemable Units resulting in an outflow of
$5,448,429. Future redemptions can impact the amount of funds available for investment in commodity
contract positions in subsequent periods.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Management believes that the
estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. The Partnerships significant accounting policies are described in
detail in Note 7 of the Financial Statements.
The Partnership records all investments at fair value in its financial statements, with
changes in fair value reported as a component of net realized and change in net unrealized trading
gain (loss) in the Statements of Income and Expenses and Changes in Partners Capital.
Results of Operations
During the Partnerships first quarter of 2011, the net asset value per unit decreased 2.7%
from $1,479.60 to $1,439.23 as compared to an increase of 0.2% in the first quarter of 2010. The
Partnership experienced a net trading loss before brokerage fees and related fees in the first
quarter of 2011 of $1,959,067. Losses were primarily attributable to the Partnership/Funds trading
of commodity futures in currencies, U.S. and non-U.S. interest rates, livestock, and indices and
were partially offset by gains in energy, grains, metals, and softs. The Partnership experienced a
net trading gain before brokerage fees and related fees in the first quarter of 2010 of $3,359,837.
Gains were primarily attributed to the Partnership/Funds trading of commodity futures in energy,
grains, non-U.S. interest rates, metals, softs and indices and were partially offset by losses in
currencies, U.S. interest rates and livestock.
The most significant losses were incurred within the global interest rate sector. In January,
losses were recorded from long positions in European fixed-income futures as prices declined after
European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said inflationary pressures in the euro region
may increase. Additional losses were recorded in February due to short positions in U.S. and
European fixed-income futures as prices increased amid a flight-to-safety spurred by geopolitical
concerns in the Middle East and North Africa. Within the currency sector, losses were recorded
primarily in January as the value of the Australian dollar, Swiss franc, Japanese yen, and Canadian
dollar moved lower against the U.S. dollar following stronger-than-expected U.S. factory data and
the release of minutes from the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting that showed optimism about the
U.S. economy. The U.S. dollar was further supported by positive reports on American jobs growth and
optimistic forecasts on the service industries, boosting demand for the U.S. currency. Within the
global stock index markets, losses were experienced primarily during March from long positions in
the global equity index futures as prices moved sharply lower following the worst earthquake and
tsunami in Japanese history. Within the livestock sector, losses were registered in March as prices
whipsawed. Initially meat prices dropped following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan due to lower
demand expectation. However, prices unexpectedly rebounded in the second half of the month as
speculation that the natural disaster and the radiation leaks will force the country to import more
processed food and meat.
A portion of the Partnerships losses for the quarter was offset by gains achieved within the
energy markets from long futures positions in crude oil and its related products as prices rose
after political tension in Egypt stoked worries that protests may spread to crude-producing parts
of the Middle East. Further gains were experienced in February due to long futures positions in
brent crude and heating oil as prices rose sharply after violence escalated in the Libya, prompting
fear of contagion to other nations in the region and causing concern that crude oil supplies may be
disrupted. Gains were achieved within the agricultural complex, primarily during January and
February, due to long futures positions in cotton as prices increased on signs that global output
may fail to keep pace with
18
rising demand in China, the worlds biggest buyer of the fiber. Additional gains were earned
in trading corn and coffee throughout the quarter.
Commodity futures markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation
increase the risks involved in commodity trading, but also increases the possibility of profit. The
profitability of the Partnership/Funds depends on the existence of major price trends and the
ability of the Advisors to correctly identify those price trends. Price trends are influenced by,
among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural,
commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic
events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Advisors are
able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
Interest
income is earned on 100% of the Partnerships average daily
equity maintained in cash in its (or the Partnerships allocable portion of a Funds) account during each month at the 30-day
U.S. Treasury bill rate determined weekly by CGM based on the average noncompetitive yield on
3-month U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 30 days from the date on which such weekly rate is
determined. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by $21,013, as
compared to the corresponding period in 2010. The increase in interest income is due to higher U.S.
Treasury bill rates during the three ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period
in 2010. Interest earned by the Partnership will increase the net asset value of the Partnership.
The amount of interest income earned by the Partnership and the Funds depends on the average daily
equity in the Partnerships/Funds account and upon interest rates over which neither the
Partnership and the Funds nor CGM has control.
Brokerage fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnerships adjusted net asset value on
the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and redemptions.
Brokerage fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by $349,563, as compared to the
corresponding period in 2010. The increase in brokerage and fees is due to higher average net
assets during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period in
2010.
Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnerships adjusted net asset value
on the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions and
redemptions. Management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by $16,083, as
compared to the corresponding period in 2010. The increase in management fees is due to higher
average net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2010.
Administrative fees are paid to the General Partner for administering the business and affairs
of the Partnership. These fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnerships adjusted net
asset value on the last day of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions
and redemptions. Administrative fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by
$31,002, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010. The increase in administrative fees is
due to higher average net assets during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the
corresponding period in 2010.
Incentive fees paid by the Partnership to the Advisors are based on the new trading profits
generated by each Advisor at the end of the quarter, as defined in the management agreements among
the Partnership, the General Partner and each Advisor. Trading performance for the three ended
March 31, 2011 resulted in incentive fees of $119,461. Trading performance for the three months
ended March 31, 2010, resulted in incentive fees of $115,578.
In allocating the assets of the Partnership among the Advisors, the General Partner conducts
proprietary research and considers the background of the Advisors principals, as well as the
Advisors trading styles, strategies and markets traded, expected volatility, trading results (to
the extent available) and fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the
allocation of assets among the Advisors and may allocate assets to additional advisors at any time.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Partnership/Funds are speculative commodity pools. The market sensitive instruments held
by them are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or substantially all of the
Partnerships/Funds assets are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company,
the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not incidental, to the Partnerships main
line of business.
The risk to the Limited Partners that have purchased interests in the Partnership is limited
to the amount of their capital contributions to the Partnership and their share of the
Partnerships assets and undistributed profits. This limited liability is a consequence of the
organization of the Partnership as a limited partnership under applicable law.
Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnerships/Funds open
positions and, consequently, in their earnings and cash balances. The Partnerships/Funds market
risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest
rates, exchange rates, equity price levels, the fair value of financial instruments and contracts,
the diversification effects among the Partnerships/Funds open contracts and the liquidity of the
markets in which they trade.
The Partnership/Funds rapidly acquire and liquidate both long and short positions in a wide
range of different markets. Consequently, it is not possible to predict how a particular future
market scenario will affect performance, and the Partnerships/Funds past performance is not
necessarily indicative of their future results.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership/Funds could
reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the
Partnerships/Funds speculative trading and the recurrence in the markets traded by the
Partnership/Funds of market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or
non-trading losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnerships/Funds experience to
date (i.e., risk of ruin). In light of the foregoing, as well as the risks and uncertainties
intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not
be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnerships/Funds losses in
any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnerships/Funds attempts to
manage their market risk.
Exchange maintenance margin requirements have been used by the Partnership/Funds as the
measure of their Value at Risk. Maintenance margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or
exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given
contract in 95%-99% of any one-day interval. Maintenance margin has been used rather than the more
generally available initial margin, because initial margin includes a credit risk component, which
is not relevant to Value at Risk.
Value at Risk tables represent a probabilistic assessment of the risk of loss in market risk
sensitive instruments. Some of the Partnerships Advisors currently trade the Partnerships assets
indirectly in master fund managed accounts over which they have been granted limited authority to
make trading decisions. Other Advisors directly trade managed accounts in the Partnerships name.
The first two trading Value at Risk tables reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the
Partnership directly and through its investments in the Funds. The remaining trading Value at Risk
tables reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership directly (i.e., in the
managed accounts in the Partnerships name) and indirectly by each Fund separately.
The following tables indicate the trading Value at Risk associated with the Partnerships open
positions by market category as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, the

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Partnership on the reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods expected in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files is accumulated and communicated to management,
including the Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (the CFO) of the
General Partner, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC
filings.
Management is responsible for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for
establishing, maintaining and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the Partnerships
external disclosures.
The General Partners CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnerships
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act) as of March 31, 2011 and, based on that evaluation, the General Partners CEO and CFO have
concluded that at that date the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
The Partnerships internal control over financial reporting is a process under the supervision
of the General Partners CEO and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These
controls include policies and procedures that:
| pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership; | ||
| provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) the Partnerships receipts are handled and expenditures are made only pursuant to authorizations of the General Partner; and | ||
| provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnerships assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
There were no changes in the Partnerships internal control over financial reporting process
during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Partnerships internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
This section describes the major pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine
litigation incidental to the business, to which CGM is a party or to which any of their property is
subject. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership or the General
Partner.
CGM is a New York corporation with its principal place of business at 388 Greenwich St., New
York, New York 10013. CGM is registered as a broker-dealer and futures commission merchant (FCM),
and provides futures brokerage and clearing services for institutional and retail participants in
the futures markets. CGM and its affiliates also provide investment banking and other financial
services for clients worldwide.
There have been no material administrative, civil or criminal actions within the past five
years against CGM (formerly known as Salomon Smith Barney) or any of its individual principals and
no such actions are currently pending, except as follows.
Mutual Funds
Several issues in the mutual fund industry have come under the scrutiny of federal and state
regulators. Citigroup has received subpoenas and other requests for information from various
government regulators regarding market timing, financing, fees, sales practices and other mutual
fund issues in connection with various investigations. Citigroup is cooperating with all such
reviews. Additionally, CGM has entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC with respect to
revenue sharing and sales of classes of funds.
On May 31, 2005, Citigroup announced that Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and CGM completed a
settlement with the SEC resolving an investigation by the SEC into matters relating to arrangements
between certain Smith Barney mutual funds, an affiliated transfer agent and an unaffiliated
sub-transfer agent. Under the terms of the settlement, Citigroup agreed to pay fines totaling
$208.1 million. The settlement, in which Citigroup neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing or
liability, includes allegations of willful misconduct by Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and CGM
in failing to disclose aspects of the transfer agent arrangements to certain mutual fund investors.
In May 2007, CGM finalized its settlement agreement with the NYSE and the New Jersey Bureau of
Securities on the matter related to its market-timing practices prior to September 2003.
FINRA Settlement
On October 12, 2009, FINRA announced its acceptance of an Award Waiver and Consent (AWC) in
which CGM, without admitting or denying the findings, consented to the entry of the AWC and a fine
and censure of $600,000. The AWC includes findings that CGM failed to adequately supervise the
activities of its equities trading desk in connection with swap and related hedge trades in U.S.
and Italian equities that were designed to provide certain perceived tax advantages. CGM was
charged with failing to provide for effective written procedures with respect to the implementation
of the trades, failing to monitor Bloomberg messages and failing to properly report certain of the
trades to the NASDAQ.
Auction Rate Securities
On May 31, 2006, the SEC instituted and simultaneously settled proceedings against CGM and 14
other broker-dealers regarding practices in the auction rate securities market. The SEC alleged
that the broker-dealers violated Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
broker-dealers, without admitting or denying liability, consented to the entry of an SEC
cease-and-desist order providing for censures, undertakings and penalties. CGM paid a penalty of
$1.5 million.
On August 7, 2008, Citigroup reached a settlement with the New York Attorney General, the SEC,
and other state regulatory agencies, pursuant to which Citigroup agreed to offer to purchase at par
auction rate securities from all Citigroup individual investors, small institutions (as defined by
the terms of the settlement), and charities that purchased auction rate securities from Citigroup
prior to February 11, 2008. In addition, Citigroup agreed to pay a $50 million fine to the State
of New York and a $50 million fine to the other state regulatory agencies.

Subprime Mortgage-Related Actions
The SEC, among other regulators, is investigating Citigroups subprime and other
mortgage-related conduct and business activities, as well as other business activities affected by
the credit crisis, including an ongoing inquiry into Citigroups structuring and sale of
collateralized debt obligations. Citigroup is cooperating fully with the SECs inquiries.
On July 29, 2010, the SEC announced the settlement of an investigation into certain of
Citigroups 2007 disclosures concerning its subprime-related business activities. On October 19,
2010, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia entered a final judgment
approving the settlement, pursuant to which Citigroup agreed to pay a $75 million civil penalty and
to maintain certain disclosure policies, practices and procedures for a three-year period.
Additional information relating to this action is publicly available in court filings under the
docket number 10 Civ. 1277 (D.D.C.) (Huvelle, J.).
The Federal Reserve Bank, the OCC and the FDIC, among other federal and state authorities, are
investigating issues related to the conduct of certain mortgage servicing companies, including
Citigroup affiliates, in connection with mortgage foreclosures. Citigroup is cooperating fully
with these inquiries.
Credit Crisis Related Matters
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007, certain of Citigroups, and CGM regulators and other
state and federal government agencies commenced formal and informal investigations and inquiries,
and issued subpoenas and requested information, concerning Citigroups subprime mortgage-related
conduct and business activities. Citigroup and certain of its affiliates, including CGM, are
involved in discussions with certain of its regulators to resolve certain of these matters.
Certain of these regulatory matters assert claims for substantial or indeterminate damages.
Some of these matters already have been resolved, either through settlements or court proceedings,
including the complete dismissal of certain complaints or the rejection of certain claims following
hearings.
In the course of its business, CGM, as a major futures commission merchant and broker-dealer,
is a party to various civil actions, claims and routine regulatory investigations and proceedings
that the general partner believes do not have a material effect on the business of CGM.
