ALTEGRIS QIM FUTURES FUND, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_______________

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
A.
General Description of the Partnership
 
Altegris QIM Futures Fund, L.P. (“Partnership”) was organized as a Delaware limited partnership in June 2009.  The Partnership's general partner is Altegris Portfolio Management, Inc. (d/b/a Altegris Funds) ("General Partner").  The Partnership speculatively trades commodity futures contracts, and may trade options on futures contracts, forward contracts and other commodity interests.  The objective of the Partnership’s business is appreciation of its assets. It is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”), an agency of the United States (“U.S.”) government that regulates most aspects of the commodity futures industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization; and the requirements of commodity exchanges and Futures Commission Merchants (brokers) through which the Partnership trades.
 
The General Partner is controlled by AqGen Liberty Holdings LLC ("AqGen"), an entity owned and controlled by (i) private equity funds managed by Aquiline Capital Partners LLC and its affiliates ("Aquiline"), and by Genstar Capital Management, LLC and its affiliates ("Genstar"), and (ii) certain senior management of the Partnership's general partner and its affiliates.  Aquiline is a private equity firm located in New York, New York, and Genstar is a private equity firm located in San Francisco, California.  Neither AqGen nor any of its beneficial owners has committed itself to increase or maintain the General Partner's capital or provide any direct or indirect financial support to the General Partner, and the General Partner is not reliant on AqGen, its direct or indirect subsidiaries or its beneficial owners to provide it with operating capital.
 
B.
Method of Reporting
 
The Partnership’s financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported fair value of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and reported amounts of income and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Partnership’s financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates and it is reasonably possible that the differences could be material.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosure required under U.S. GAAP.  The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed financial statements for the interim period.
 
C.
Fair Value
 
In accordance with the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
_______________

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
C.  Fair Value (continued)
 
In determining fair value, the Partnership uses various valuation approaches. The authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Partnership.
 
Unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s assumption about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary among assets and liabilities and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of asset or liability, whether the asset or liability is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the asset or liability existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Partnership in determining fair value is greatest for assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
C.  Fair Value (continued)
 
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Partnership’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Partnership uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including prices and inputs during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many assets and liabilities. This condition could cause an asset or liability to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

The Partnership values futures contracts at the closing price of the contract’s primary exchange.  The Partnership includes futures contracts in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are exchange traded derivatives.

The fair value of U.S. government agency bonds and notes is generally based on quoted prices in active markets. When quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined based on a valuation model that uses inputs which include interest-rate yield curves, cross-currency-basis index spreads, and country credit spreads similar to the bond in terms of issue, maturity and seniority. U.S. government agency bonds and notes are categorized in Level I or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 none of the Partnership’s holdings in U.S. government agency bonds and notes were fair valued using valuation models.

The fair value of U.S. treasury obligations is generally based on quoted prices in active markets. U.S. treasury obligations are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The fair value of corporate notes is determined using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (where observable), notes spreads or credit default swap spreads. The spread data used are for the same maturity as that of the notes. If the spread data does not reference the issuer, data that references a comparable issuer is used. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on cash flow models with yield curves, notes, or single-name credit default swap spreads and recovery rates based on collateral values as key inputs. These valuation methods represent both a market and income approach to fair value measurement. Corporate notes are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; however, in instances where significant inputs are unobservable, they are categorized in Level 3 of the hierarchy. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 none of the Partnership’s holdings in corporate notes were fair valued using valuation models.

D.  Investment Transactions and Investment Income
 
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes.  Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined using the identified cost method. Change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Income (Loss). Brokerage commissions on securities and other trading fees are reflected as an adjustment to cost or proceeds at the time of the transaction.  Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
 
Gains or losses on futures contracts are realized when contracts are closed. Net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and quoted market price) are reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Income (Loss). Brokerage commissions on futures contracts include other trading fees and are incurred as an expense when contracts are opened, and are recognized as trading gains and losses.

Net realized gains and losses from foreign currency related transactions represent gains and losses from sales of foreign currencies, sales and maturities of foreign currency forward contracts, currency gains and losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Partnership’s books and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency denominated other assets and liabilities arise from changes in the value of assets, other than investments in securities, and liabilities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) is the Partnership’s custodian. The Partnership has cash deposited with the Custodian.  For cash not held with J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC, the Partnership’s commodity broker (the “Clearing Broker”), the Partnership receives cash management services from an affiliate of the Custodian, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”).  
 
E.  Futures Contracts
 
The Partnership may engage in futures contracts as part of its investment strategy. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Partnership is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Partnership each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are included in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts. The Partnership recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
E.  Futures Contracts (continued)
 
There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts as an investment option. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their underlying instruments. In addition, there is the risk that the Partnership may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market. Open positions in futures contracts at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are reflected within the Condensed Schedules of Investments.
 
F.  Foreign Currency Transactions
 
The Partnership’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it transacts business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the date of the Statements of Financial Condition.  Income and expense items denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect during the period.  Gains and losses resulting from the translation to U.S. dollars are reported in the Statements of Income (Loss).
 
G.  Cash
 
Restricted cash is held as maintenance margin deposits for futures transactions.
 
The Partnership maintains a custody account with a major financial institution. At times, the Partnership’s cash balance could exceed the insured amount under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not subject to any significant counterparty risk related to its cash account.
 
H.  Income Taxes
 
As an entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes; the Partnership itself is not subject to federal income tax. The Partnership prepares and files calendar year U.S. and applicable state information tax returns and reports to the partners their allocable shares of the Partnership’s income and expenses.
 
The Partnership is required to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority.  De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized results in the Partnership recording a tax liability that reduces ending partners’

Based on its analysis, the Partnership has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  However, the Partnership’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. 
 
The Partnership recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and other expenses, respectively.  No interest expense or penalties have been recognized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
The Partnership is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for all tax years since 2010. 
 
I.  Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts in the December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012 financial statements were reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.
 
NOTE 2 - PARTNERS’ CAPITAL
 
A.  Capital Accounts and Allocation of Income and Loss
 
The Partnership accounts for subscriptions and redemptions on a per partner capital account basis.

The Partnership consists of the General Partner’s Interest, Class A Interests, Class B Interests and Institutional Interests (collectively referred to as “Interests”).  Income or loss (prior to management fees, administrative fees, service fees and incentive fees) is allocated pro rata among the partners based on their respective capital accounts as of the end of each month in which the items accrue, pursuant to the terms of the Partnership’s agreement of limited partnership, as may be amended and restated from time to time (the “Agreement”).  Special Interests, Class A Interests, Class B Interests and Institutional Interests are then charged with their applicable management fee, administrative fee, service fee and incentive fee in accordance with the Agreement.

No limited partner of the Partnership (each, a “Limited Partner” and collectively the “Limited Partners”) shall be liable for any debts or liabilities of the Partnership or any losses thereof in excess of such Limited Partner's capital contributions, except as may be required by law.

NOTE 6 - BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS
The Partnership pays brokerage commissions to the Clearing Broker for clearing trades on its behalf, which are reflected in the Statements of Income (Loss) as Brokerage Commissions. The Partnership pays to its Clearing Broker a monthly brokerage commission equal to the greater of: (1) actual brokerage commissions, which are based upon trading volume, or (2) a flat rate of 0.125% (1.5% annually) (the “Minimum Amount”) of the Partnership’s management fee net asset value.

If actual brokerage commissions paid to the Clearing Broker are less than the Minimum Amount, the Partnership will pay to the introducing broker, the difference. However, if actual brokerage commissions are greater than the Minimum Amount, the Partnership only pays the actual brokerage commissions.
 
 NOTE 7 - FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
 
The Partnership engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts for the purpose of achieving capital appreciation.  None of the Partnership’s derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments, nor are they used for other risk management purposes.  The Advisor and General Partner actively assess, manage and monitor risk exposure on derivatives on a contract basis, a sector basis (e.g., interest rate derivatives, agricultural derivatives, etc.), and on an overall basis in accordance with established risk parameters.  Due to the speculative nature of the Partnership’s derivative trading activity, the Partnership is subject to the risk of substantial losses from derivatives trading.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Partnership adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (the “ASU,” “ASU 2011-11”).  The amendments to this standard require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.
 
With respect to futures contracts and options on futures contracts, the Partnership has entered into an agreement with the Clearing Broker which  grants the Clearing Broker the right to offset recognized derivative assets and derivative liabilities if certain conditions exist, which would require the Clearing Broker to liquidate the Partnership’s positions. These events include the following: (i) upon the dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or merger of the Partnership, (ii) failure to maintain initial margin or failure to make timely payment of additional variation margin, (iii) failure to pay the premium on any option purchased, (iv) upon the commencement of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding for the protection of creditors against the Partnership, (v) the Clearing Broker determines, at its discretion, that the risk in the Partnership’s account must be reduced for protection of the Clearing Broker, or (vi) if the Partnership’s registration status is suspended or is pending suspension.

NOTE 8 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
The Partnership participates in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts, substantially all of which are subject to margin requirements.  The minimum amount of margin required for each contract is set from time to time in response to various market factors by the respective exchanges.  Further, the Clearing Broker has the right to require margin in excess of the minimum exchange requirement.  Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) and the potential inability of brokers to perform under the terms of their contracts (credit risk).
 
All of the contracts currently traded by the Partnership are exchange traded.  The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are generally perceived to be less than those associated with over-the-counter transactions because, in over-the-counter transactions, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of its respective individual counterparties.  However, in the future, if the Partnership were to enter into non-exchange traded contracts, it would be subject to the credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance.  The credit risk from counterparty non-performance associated with such instruments is the net unrealized gain, if any.
 
The Partnership also has credit risk because the sole counterparty to all domestic futures contracts is the exchange clearing corporation.  In addition, the Partnership bears the risk of financial failure by the Clearing Broker. The Partnership's policy is to continuously monitor its exposure to market and counterparty risk through the use of a variety of financial, position and credit exposure reporting and control procedures.  In addition, the Partnership has a policy of reviewing the credit standing of each clearing broker or counterparty with which it conducts business.
 
The Partnership has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with the Custodian in U.S. government agency bonds and notes and corporate notes.  Risks arise from investments in bonds and notes due to possible illiquidity and the potential for default by the issuer or counterparty.  Such instruments are also sensitive to changes in interest rates and economic conditions.
 
NOTE 9 - INDEMNIFICATIONS
 
In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications.  The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Partnership that have not yet occurred.  The Partnership expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
 
Item 2:   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Reference is made to “Item 1: Financial Statements.” The information contained therein is essential to, and should be read in conjunction with, the following analysis.

Liquidity
 
The Partnership’s assets are generally held as cash or cash equivalents, which are used to margin the Partnership’s futures positions and are sold to pay redemptions and expenses as needed.  Other than any potential market-imposed limitations on liquidity, the Partnership’s assets are highly liquid and are expected to remain so.  Market-imposed limitations, when they occur, can be due to limited open interest in certain futures markets or to daily price fluctuation limits, which are inherent in the Partnership’s futures trading.  A portion of the Partnership’s assets not used for margin and held with the Custodian, are invested in liquid, high quality securities.  Through September 30, 2013 the Partnership experienced no meaningful periods of illiquidity in any of the markets traded by the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership.

Capital Resources
 
The Partnership raises additional capital only through the sale of Interests and capital is increased through trading profits (if any) and interest income.  The Partnership does not engage in borrowing.
 
The amount of capital raised for the Partnership should not have a significant impact on its operations, as the Partnership has no significant capital expenditure or working capital requirements other than for capital to pay trading losses, brokerage commissions and expenses.  Within broad ranges of capitalization, the Partnership’s trading positions should increase or decrease in approximate proportion to the size of the Partnership.

The Partnership participates in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts and may trade options on futures contracts and forward contracts, substantially all of which are subject to margin requirements.  The minimum amount of margin required for each contract is set from time to time in response to various market factors by the respective exchanges.  Further, the Partnership’s Futures Commission Merchants and brokers may require margin in excess of minimum exchange requirements.
 
All of the futures contracts currently traded by the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership are exchange-traded.  The risks associated with exchange-traded contracts are generally perceived to be less than those associated with over-the-counter transactions because, in over-the-counter transactions, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of its trading counterparties, whereas exchange-traded contracts are generally, but not universally, backed by the collective credit of the members of the exchange.  In the future, the Partnership anticipates that it will enter into non-exchange-traded foreign currency contracts and be subject to the credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance.
 
The Partnership bears the risk of financial failure by the Clearing Broker and/or other clearing brokers or counterparties with which the Partnership trades. 

Results of Operations
 
Performance Summary
 
The Partnership’s success depends primarily upon the Advisor’s ability to recognize and capitalize on market trends in the sectors of the global commodity futures markets in which it trades.  The Partnership intends to produce long-term capital appreciation through growth, and not current income.  The past performance of the Partnership is not necessarily indicative of future results.
   
Results of Operations
 
Due to the nature of the Partnership’s trading, the results of operations for the interim period presented should not be considered indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013

During the third quarter of 2013, the Partnership achieved net realized and unrealized gains of $395,019 from its trading activities, net of brokerage commissions of $380,768.  The Partnership incurred total expenses of $747,421, including $292,415 in management fees paid to the General Partner, and $320,390 in service and professional fees.  The Partnership did not incur incentive fees for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. The Partnership earned $27,741 in interest income during the third quarter of 2013.  An analysis of the profits and losses generated from the Partnership’s commodity futures trading activities for the third quarter of 2013 is set forth below. 

Third Quarter 2013.  The Partnership was nearly flat in July 2013 as the strength of short positions in U.S. Treasuries and long positions in energies, gold, and U.S. and European stock indices was offset by losses from short European interest rates, as well as poor positioning in futures contracts on Japanese stock indices and all currencies.  The primary driver of July performance was short futures contracts on U.S. Treasuries that delivered impressive month-long returns. Long positions in futures contracts on U.S. and European stock indices and energies contributed further to profits as those markets rallied through month-end.  Positive performance was tempered by short positions in futures contracts on European interest rates, and a long Nikkei position.  The Partnership achieved a gain in August 2013 driven by profitable positioning in futures contracts on interest rates and stock indices.  Long positions in futures contracts on U.S. stock indices exploited a surge in U.S. equities. A long crude oil position delivered steady profits, which continued for practically the entire month as tensions in the Middle East bolstered prices.  A short position on futures contracts on U.S. equities provided a welcome offset to otherwise poor performance during the last few days of the month.  The Partnership experienced a loss in September 2013 with the bulk of the poor performance driven by futures contracts on U.S. stock indices. Gains from Nikkei, interest rates, and currencies provided only partial offset, while energies and metals contributed additional losses. The Partnership took a strong short position in futures contracts on the S&P for the first half of the month, hampering performance as all U.S. stock indices trended higher. Losses were compounded when the Partnership switched to a long position in futures contracts on U.S. stock indices just as the markets began to fall in the last week of the month. Long positions in crude oil and gold delivered further setbacks as both markets receded. Long positions in futures contracts on the Nikkei and the Euro compensated for some of the losses during the month.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
 
During the third quarter of 2012, the Partnership incurred net realized and unrealized losses of $ 1,928,350 from its trading activities, net of brokerage commissions of $487,139.  The Partnership incurred total expenses of $856,671, including $369,203 in management fees paid to the General Partner, $7,091 in incentive fees, and $371,956 in service and professional fees.  The Partnership earned $36,454 in interest income during the third quarter of 2012.  An analysis of the profits and losses generated from the Partnership’s commodity futures trading activities for the third quarter of 2012 is set forth below.
 
Third Quarter 2012.  The Partnership experienced a loss in July 2012 as poor employment numbers in the U.S. and continued concern about the fiscal health of Spain and Italy caused the equity markets to slide and treasury prices to rise, both working against the Partnership’s positions.  The Eurobund accounted for over half of the losses for the month. The Partnership also struggled in the stock index sector, with futures contracts on the S&P being the worst performer.  Short positions in Crude Oil also hurt performance as prices spiked during the month. Short positions in most of the foreign currencies contributed positively with a short Euro position being the best performer.  The Partnership finished August 2012 with a slight gain.  Long stock index futures positions drove performance during the month. The month began negatively for stocks and treasuries, but the outlook changed with an unexpectedly positive U.S. employment report. Interest rates generated significant losses for the month, with a short Eurobund position in the second half of the month being the biggest loser. Crude oil prices rose steadily, contravening our mostly month-long short position. Currencies additionally dragged down returns as long positions in the Australian Dollar and Euro yielded losses.  The Partnership ended September relatively flat with equity positions having delivered the bulk of the gains, offset by losses in interest rate positions. Other notable contributors were profitable positions in futures contracts on energies, particularly Crude Oil, as well as lucrative positions in Gold and Copper. Interest rate futures and currency futures hurt performance considerably.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Partnership incurred net realized and unrealized losses of $9,657,853 from its trading activities, net of brokerage commissions of $1,322,289.  The Partnership incurred total expenses of $2,456,990, including $1,010,312 in management fees paid to the General Partner, and $1,061,932 in service and professional fees.  The Partnership did not incur incentive fees for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The Partnership earned $98,860 in interest income during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013.  An analysis of the profits and losses generated from the Partnership’s commodity futures trading activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is set forth below. 

Third Quarter 2013.  The Partnership was nearly flat in July 2013 as the strength of short positions in U.S. Treasuries and long positions in energies, gold, and U.S. and European stock indices was offset by losses from short European interest rates, as well as poor positioning in futures contracts on Japanese stock indices and all currencies.  The primary driver of July performance was short futures contracts on U.S. Treasuries that delivered impressive month-long returns. Long positions in futures contracts on U.S. and European stock indices and energies contributed further to profits as those markets rallied through month-end.  Positive performance was tempered by short positions in futures contracts on European interest rates, and a long Nikkei position.  The Partnership achieved a gain in August 2013 driven by profitable positioning in futures contracts on interest rates and stock indices.  Long positions in futures contracts on U.S. stock indices exploited a surge in U.S. equities. A long crude oil position delivered steady profits, which continued for practically the entire month as tensions in the Middle East bolstered prices.  A short position on futures contracts on U.S. equities provided a welcome offset to otherwise poor performance during the last few days of the month.  The Partnership experienced a loss in September 2013 with the bulk of the poor performance driven by futures contracts on U.S. stock indices. Gains from Nikkei, interest rates, and currencies provided only partial offset, while energies and metals contributed additional losses. The Partnership took a strong short position in futures contracts on the S&P for the first half of the month, hampering performance as all U.S. stock indices trended higher. Losses were compounded when the Partnership switched to a long position in futures contracts on U.S. stock indices just as the markets began to fall in the last week of the month. Long positions in crude oil and gold delivered further setbacks as both markets receded. Long positions in futures contracts on the Nikkei and the Euro compensated for some of the losses during the month.

Second Quarter 2013.  The Partnership experienced a loss in April 2013 as futures positions in equity indices, energies, and gold suffered disappointing reversals and dragged into negative territory. When the Bank of Japan announced a desire to double the monetary base within two years, a steady, month-long rally moved against short positions. A short S&P signal proved profitable through the middle of the month, until a sustained rally delivered heavy losses. Additional losses were averted by moving to long positions. Also in April, Gold plunged on its biggest single day selloff, in percentage terms, since 1983. Further losses were delivered by long positions in energies as those markets receded. The Partnership experienced a loss in May 2013 as strong returns in non-Japanese stock indices, non-Yen currencies, and energies were flattened by negative results in futures contracts on Japanese stock indices, Yen, U.S. Treasuries, and Gold. The Partnership had temporary relief and saw gains towards the end of May, but losses increased on long positions in futures contracts on stock indices against a lockstep global retreat. Further losses were added by short positions in futures contracts on U.S. Treasuries and long signals in Gold. The Partnership experienced a loss in June 2013 when losing positions in futures contracts on currencies, energies, non-U.S. stock indices, and Gold eclipsed winning positions in interest rates and U.S. stock indices. The Partnership suffered losses from short positions in Japanese and European stock indices, and unprofitable short positions in most currencies.  After these losses, the Partnership realized temporary gains from short Japanese equities and a short position on futures contracts on the S&P as U.S. equities dropped. However, the end of the quarter delivered frustrating setbacks as short Japanese and U.S. equities, long Gold, and short currencies dragged performance into negative territory.

First Quarter 2013.  The Partnership experienced a loss in January 2013 as an equity rally that began in December continued into January causing losses in the Partnership’s short positions in futures contracts on stock indices.  A corresponding long position in futures contracts on the Eurobund added to losses as that market fell.  The markets that contributed positively to performance were a long position on the Euro, and long positions in futures contracts on energies as those markets rose steadily. The Partnership experienced a loss in February 2013 as short positions in futures contracts on interest rates and long positions on futures contracts on energies furnished losses that marginally exceeded gains from varied positions in contracts on stock indices and steady short signals in Gold and Silver. Early in the month, long positions in Yen, German interest rates, and U.S. Treasuries teamed with short positions across the Japanese stock indices to produce heavy losses. Later in the month, the Partnership suffered from the combined effects of long positions in the S&P and short positions in Japanese stock indices, as both markets moved sharply opposite these signals. The Partnership experienced a loss in March 2013. Trading in futures contracts on interest rates and Japanese stock indices accounted for the bulk of the month’s losses. U.S. and European stock indices delivered positive returns that slightly offset other losses. Trading futures contracts on the U.S. 10-Year Note generated the bulk of the losses in the portfolio for the month.   For the entire month, the Partnership maintained a short position in futures contracts on all Japanese stock indices that added to losses as the Nikkei surged upward.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Partnership incurred net realized and unrealized gains of $13,636,187  from its trading activities, net of brokerage commissions of $1,415,197.  The Partnership incurred total expenses of $6,858,689, including $1,071,706 in management fees paid to the General Partner, $4,302,850 in incentive fees, and $1,100,888  in service and professional fees.  The Partnership earned $107,234 in interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  An analysis of the profits and losses generated from the Partnership’s commodity futures trading activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is set forth below.

Third Quarter 2012.  The Partnership experienced a loss in July 2012 as poor employment numbers in the U.S. and continued concern about the fiscal health of Spain and Italy caused the equity markets to slide and treasury prices to rise, both working against the Partnership’s positions.  The Eurobund accounted for over half of the losses for the month. The Partnership also struggled in the stock index sector, with futures contracts on the S&P being the worst performer.  Short positions in Crude Oil also hurt performance as prices spiked during the month. Short positions in most of the foreign currencies contributed positively with a short Euro position being the best performer.  The Partnership finished August 2012 with a slight gain.  Long stock index futures positions drove performance during the month. The month began negatively for stocks and treasuries, but the outlook changed with an unexpectedly positive U.S. employment report. Interest rates generated significant losses for the month, with a short Eurobund position in the second half of the month being the biggest loser. Crude oil prices rose steadily, contravening our mostly month-long short position. Currencies additionally dragged down returns as long positions in the Australian Dollar and Euro yielded losses.  The Partnership ended September relatively flat with equity positions having delivered the bulk of the gains, offset by losses in interest rate positions. Other notable contributors were profitable positions in futures contracts on energies, particularly Crude Oil, as well as lucrative positions in Gold and Copper. Interest rate futures and currency futures hurt performance considerably.
 
Second Quarter 2012. The Partnership achieved a gain in April 2012. The Partnership held long positions for the entire month in interest rate futures contracts, as poor March U.S. employment data and Spain’s downgrade by S&P drove interest rate futures higher. The Partnership started the month short futures contracts on stock indices and reversed to a long position after the S&P declined five consecutive days. The Partnership stayed with that long position for the rest of the month as the S&P was able to recover most of its losses from earlier in the month. Trading in currency, metal, energy and agricultural sectors all produced losses, but the Partnership’s exposure in these sectors was less significant. The Partnership achieved a gain in May 2012, as poor U.S. employment data in the beginning of the month started equities on a downward slide. The Partnership’s short positions in futures contracts on stock indices were well positioned to profit during the decline. The Partnership also benefitted from its long positions in the 10-year note and 30-year bond throughout the month. The most significant contributions to performance during the month came from trading in futures contracts on stock indices, interest rates and currencies. The Partnership achieved a gain in June 2012 based largely on long futures contracts on stock indices. Equity markets rallied on the release of strong U.S. economic data. Futures contracts on crude oil led the Partnership’s energy sector trading. Trading in futures contracts on currencies was the worst performing sector during the month as the dollar struggled during the first three weeks of the month, while the Partnership held short positions.

First Quarter 2012. The Partnership experienced a loss in January 2012, with losses highly concentrated in the interest rate sector. Positions in futures contracts on US Treasuries were the worst performing during the month, however, the Partnership also struggled with positions in futures contracts on the Euro currency, Euro-Bund and Dax. The Partnership earned gains in its trading of futures contracts on US equity indices, but it was not enough to offset losses elsewhere in the portfolio. The Partnership experienced a loss in February 2012 on poor trading in interest rate futures for the second consecutive month. Energy trading buoyed the month’s performance with futures contracts on crude oil and brent crude representing the month’s two best performing contracts as the Partnership took advantage of the long rally in oil prices. The Partnership achieved a gain in March 2012. During the first half of March, the positive economic data in the US drove interest rate futures down at a time when the Partnership was heavily short that sector. Subdued data from China, Europe and the US housing market also contributed to the rally in interest rate futures for the remainder of the month. While the Partnership lightened its exposure to US interest rates, positions in the European rates lead to losses in those markets. The Partnership profited from its trading of futures contracts on the short side of the Yen and on the long side of E-mini S&P contracts during the month.
