THE CAMPBELL FUND TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. General Description of the Trust

The Campbell Fund Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust which operates as a commodity investment pool. The Trust engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts and forward currency contracts.

Effective August 31, 2008, the Trust began offering units of beneficial interest classified into Series A units, Series B units and Series W units. The rights of the Series A units, Series B units and Series W units are identical, except that the fees and commissions vary on a Series-by-Series basis. Series A and Series W commenced trading on October 1, 2008 and March 1, 2009, respectively. The initial minimum subscription for Series A units and Series W units is $25,000. Series B units are only available for additional investments by existing holders of Series B units. See Note 1F, Note 1H, Note 2 and Note 6 for an explanation of allocations and Series specific charges.

B. Regulation

As a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Trust is subject to the regulatory requirements under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. As a commodity investment pool, the Trust is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, an agency of the United States (U.S.) government which regulates most aspects of the commodity futures industry; rules of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization; and the requirements of the various commodity exchanges where the Trust executes transactions. Additionally, the Trust is subject to the requirements of futures commission merchants (the "futures brokers") and interbank market makers through which the Trust trades.

C. Method of Reporting

The Trust's financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of certain estimates made by the Trust's management. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trust’s Annual Report Form 10 -K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2016. All adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included herein.

The Trust meets the definition of an investment company according to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 946-10, Financial Services - Investment Companies.

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade value and fair value) are reported in the Statements of Financial Condition as a net gain or loss, as there exists a right of offset of unrealized gains or losses in accordance with ASC 210-20, Offsetting - Balance Sheet. The fair value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is based on the various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of forward currency (non-exchange traded) contracts was extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period.

The fixed income investments are marked to market on the last business day of the reporting period by the Administrator using a third party vendor hierarchy of pricing providers who specialize in such markets. The prices furnished by the providers consider the yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized and accreted for financial reporting purposes.

The short term investments represent cash held at the custodian and invested overnight in a money market fund.
 
For purposes of both financial reporting and calculation of redemption value, Net Asset Value per unit is calculated by dividing Net Asset Value by the number of outstanding units.

D. Fair Value

The Trust follows the provisions of ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." ASC 820 provides guidance for determining fair value and requires increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value 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.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The value of the Trust's exchange-traded futures contracts fall into this category.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This category includes forward currency contracts that the Trust values using models or other valuation methodologies derived from observable market data. This category also includes fixed income investments.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability (including the Trust's own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments). Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Trust did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Trust's investments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The gross presentation of the fair value of the Trust's derivatives by instrument type is shown in Note 10. See Condensed Schedules of Investments for additional detail categorization.

E. Income Taxes

The Trust prepares calendar year U.S. federal and applicable state information tax returns and reports to the unitholders their allocable shares of the Trust's income, expenses and trading gains or losses. No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements as each unitholder is individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on such unitholder's respective share of the Trust's income and expenses as reported for income tax purposes.

Management has continued to evaluate the application of ASC 740, Income Taxes, to the Trust, and has determined that no reserves for uncertain tax positions were required. There are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. The Trust files federal and state tax returns. The 2013 through 2016 tax years generally remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

F. Offering Costs

Campbell & Company, LP ("Campbell & Company") has incurred all costs in connection with the initial and continuous offering of units of the Trust ("offering costs") . Series A units and Series W units will each bear the offering costs incurred in relation to the offering of Series A units and Series W units, respectively. Offering costs are charged to Series A and Series W at a monthly rate of 1/12 of 0.5% (0.5% annualized) of each Series' month-end net asset value (as defined in the Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement) until such amounts are fully reimbursed. Such amounts are charged directly to unitholders' capital. Series A and Series W are only liable for payment of offering costs on a monthly basis. The offering costs allocable to the Series B units are borne by Campbell & Company.

If the Trust terminates prior to completion of payment to Campbell & Company for the unreimbursed offering costs incurred through the date of such termination, Campbell & Company will not be entitled to any additional payments, and Series A units and Series W units will have no further obligation to Campbell & Company. At June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the amount of unreimbursed offering costs incurred by Campbell & Company is $655,529 and $1,221,734 for Series A units and $320,098 and $367,121 for Series W units, respectively.

G. Foreign Currency Transactions

The Trust'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 income.

H. Allocations

Income or loss (prior to calculation of the management fee, service fee, offering costs and performance fee) is allocated pro rata to each Series of units. Each Series of units is then charged the management fee, service fee, offering costs and performance fee applicable to such Series of units.

I. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which aims to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement. The amendment is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Management has evaluated the amendment and does not anticipate a material impact on the Trust's financial statement disclosures.

Note 2. MANAGING OPERATOR AND COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR

The managing operator of the Trust is Campbell & Company which conducts and manages the business of the Trust. Campbell & Company is also the commodity trading advisor of the Trust.

Series A units and Series B units pay the managing operator a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 4% (4% annually) of the Net Assets (as defined) of Series A units and Series B units, respectively, as of the end of each month. Series W units pay the managing operator a monthly management fee equal to 1/12 of 2% (2% annually) of the Net Assets (as defined) of Series W units as of the end of each month. Each Series of units will pay the managing operator a quarterly performance fee equal to 20% of the aggregate cumulative appreciation in Net Asset Value per Unit (as defined) exclusive of appreciation attributable to interest income on a Series-by-Series basis.

The performance fee is paid on the cumulative increase, if any, in the Net Asset Value per Unit over the highest previous cumulative Net Asset Value per Unit (commonly referred to as a High Water Mark). In determining the management fee and performance fee (the "fees"), adjustments shall be made for capital additions and withdrawals and Net Assets shall not be reduced by the fees being calculated for such current period. The performance fee is not subject to any clawback provisions. The fees are typically paid in the month following the month in which they are earned. The fees are paid from the available cash at the Trust's bank, broker or cash management custody accounts.

Note 3. TRUSTEE

The trustee of the Trust is U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking corporation. The trustee has delegated to the managing operator the duty and authority to manage the business and affairs of the Trust and has only nominal duties and liabilities with respect to the Trust.

Note 4. ADMINISTRATOR

Northern Trust Hedge Fund Services LLC serves as the Administrator of the Trust. The Administrator receives fees at rates agreed upon between the Trust and the Administrator and is entitled to reimbursement of certain actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred while performing its duties. The Administrator's primary responsibilities are portfolio accounting and fund accounting services.

JUNE 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Note 5. CASH MANAGER AND CUSTODIAN

PNC Capital Advisors, LLC serves as the cash manager under the Investment Advisory Agreement to manage and control the liquid assets of the Trust. PNC Capital Advisors, LLC is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC of the United States under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

The Trust has a custodial account at the Northern Trust Company (the "custodian") and has granted the cash manager authority to make certain investments on behalf of the Trust provided such investments are consistent with the investment guidelines created by the managing operator. All securities purchased by the cash manager on behalf of the Trust will be held in its custody account at the custodian. The cash manager will have no beneficial or other interest in the securities and cash in such custody account.

Note 6. SERVICE FEE

Prior to March 1, 2017, the selling firms who sold Series W units received a monthly service fee equal to 1/12 of 0.25% of the month-end Net Asset Value (as defined) of the Series W units, totaling approximately 0.25% per year. Effective March 1, 2017, a monthly service fee will no longer be paid by the Series W units.

Note 7. DEPOSITS WITH FUTURES BROKERS

The Trust deposits assets with UBS Securities LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. as the futures brokers, subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations and various exchange and futures broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of U.S. Treasury Bills and cash with such futures brokers. The Trust typically earns interest income on its assets deposited with the futures brokers.

Note 8. DEPOSITS WITH INTERBANK MARKET MAKER

The Trust's counterparty with regard to its forward currency transactions is the Royal Bank of Scotland PLC ("RBS"). The Trust has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement ("ISDA Agreement") with RBS which governs these transactions. The credit ratings reported by the three major rating agencies for RBS were considered investment grade as of June 30, 2017. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of U.S. Treasury Bills and cash with RBS. The Trust typically earns interest income on its assets deposited with RBS.

Note 9. SUBSCRIPTIONS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS

Investments in the Trust are made by subscription agreement, subject to acceptance by Campbell & Company.

The Trust is not required to make distributions, but may do so at the sole discretion of Campbell & Company. A unitholder may request and receive redemption of units owned, subject to restrictions in the Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement. Units are transferable, but no market exists for their sale and none is expected to develop. Monthly redemptions are permitted upon ten (10) business days advance written notice to Campbell & Company.

Redemption fees, which are paid to Campbell & Company, apply to Series A units through the first twelve month-ends following purchase (the month-end as of which the unit is purchased is counted as the first month-end) as follows: 1.833% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the second month-end, 1.666% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the third month-end, 1.500% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the fourth month-end, 1.333% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the fifth month-end, 1.167% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the sixth month-end, 1.000% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the seventh month-end, 0.833% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the eight month-end, 0.667% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the ninth month-end, 0.500% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the tenth month-end, 0.333% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the eleventh month-end and 0.167% of Net Asset Value per unit redeemed through the twelfth month end. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, Campbell & Company received redemption fees of $9,752 and $17,974, respectively.

Note 10. TRADING ACTIVITIES AND RELATED RISKS

The Trust engages in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts and forward currency contracts (collectively, "derivatives"). Specifically, the Trust trades a portfolio focused on futures and forward contracts, which are instruments designed to hedge changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, stock index values, metals, energy and agriculture values. The Trust is exposed to both market risk, the risk arising from changes in the fair value of the contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.

Market Risk

For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the fair value of the contracts. Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Trust's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Trust's market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of exchange rates, interest rates, equity price levels, the fair value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Trust's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades. Theoretically, the Trust is exposed to a market risk equal to the notional contract value of futures and forward currency contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short. See Note 1. C. for an explanation of how the Trust determines its valuation for derivatives as well as the netting of derivatives.

The Trust adopted the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, ("ASC 815"). ASC 815 provides enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

The following tables summarize quantitative information required by ASC 815. The fair value of the Trust's derivatives by instrument type, as well as the location of those instruments on the Statements of Financial Condition, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is as follows:

THE CAMPBELL FUND TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the monthly average of futures contracts bought and sold was approximately 75,200 and 123,100, respectively, and the monthly average of notional value of forward currency contracts was $2,752,800,000 and $5,390,000,000, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the monthly average of futures contracts bought and sold was approximately 71,000 and 108,000, respectively, and the monthly average of notional value of forward currency contracts was $2,758,900,000 and $5,349,000,000, respectively.

Open contracts generally mature within three months; as of June 30, 2017, the latest maturity date for open futures contracts is September 2018 and the latest maturity date for open forward currency contracts is September 2017. However, the Trust intends to close all futures and forward currency contracts prior to maturity.

Credit Risk

The Trust trades futures contracts on exchanges that require margin deposits with the futures broker. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a futures broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such futures broker's proprietary activities. A customer's cash and other property (for example, U.S. Treasury Bills) deposited with a futures broker are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the futures broker's segregation requirements. In the event of a futures broker's insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than total cash and other property deposited.

The Trust trades forward currency contracts in unregulated markets between principals and assumes the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. Accordingly, the risks associated with forward currency contracts are generally greater than those associated with exchange traded contracts because of the greater risk of counterparty default.
Additionally, the trading of forward currency contracts typically involves delayed cash settlement.

The Trust has a portion of its assets on deposit with PNC Bank. In the event of a financial institution's insolvency, recovery of the Trust's assets on deposit may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded such deposits.

Under the terms of the ISDA Agreement with RBS, upon the designation of an Event of Default, as defined in the ISDA Agreement, the non-defaulting party may set- off any sum or obligation owed by the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party against any sum or obligation owed by the non-defaulting party to the defaulting party. If any sum or obligation is unascertained, the non-defaulting party may in good faith estimate that sum or obligation and set-off in respect to that estimate, accounting to the other party when such sum or obligation is ascertained.

Under the terms of each of the master netting agreement with UBS Securities and Goldman Sachs, upon occurrence of a default by the Trust, as defined in respective account documents, UBS Securities and Goldman Sachs have the right to close out any or all open contracts held in the Trust's account; sell any or all of the securities held; and borrow or buy any securities, contracts or other property for the Trust's account. The Trust would be liable for any deficiency in its account resulting from such transactions.

The amount of required margin and good faith deposits with the futures broker and interbank market maker usually range from 10% to 30% of Net Asset Value. The fair value of securities held to satisfy such requirements at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $169,210,663 and $148,721,267, respectively, which equals approximately 28% and 20% of Net Asset Value, respectively. The cash deposited with the interbank market maker at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $82,879 and $ 63,587, respectively, which equals approximately 0% and 0% of Net Asset Value, respectively. These amounts are included in cash. Included in cash deposits with the brokers and interbroker market maker at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was restricted cash for margin requirements of $32,089,108 and $0, respectively, which equals approximately 5% and 0% of Net Asset Value, respectively.

THE CAMPBELL FUND TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Campbell & Company has established procedures to actively monitor market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so. Campbell & Company's basic market risk control procedures consist of continuously monitoring open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio that rarely exceeds 30%. Campbell & Company's attempt to manage the risk of the Trust's open positions is essentially the same in all market categories traded. Campbell & Company applies risk management policies to its trading which generally limit the total exposure that may be taken per "risk unit" of assets under management. In addition, Campbell & Company follows diversification guidelines (often formulated in terms of the balanced volatility between markets and correlated groups), as well as reducing position sizes dynamically in response to trading losses. Campbell & Company controls the risk of the Trust's non-trading fixed income instruments by limiting the duration of such instruments and requiring a minimum credit quality of the issuers of those instruments.

Campbell & Company seeks to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and maintaining the Trust's assets at financial institutions and brokers which Campbell & Company believes to be credit worthy. The unitholder bears the risk of loss only to the extent of the market value of their respective investments and, in certain specific circumstances, distributions and redemptions received.

Note 11. INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The Trust expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.

Note 12. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Statements of Financial Condition, including the Condensed Schedules of Investments, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Statements of Operations and Financial Highlights for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the Statements of Cash Flows and Changes in Unitholders’ Capital (Net Asset Value) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments, which were of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the results of operations and financial highlights for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and cash flows and changes in unitholders’ capital (Net Asset Value) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Note 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management of the Trust has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were filed. There are no subsequent events to disclose or record.
 
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Introduction

The Campbell Fund Trust (the "Trust") is a business trust organized on January 2, 1996 under the Delaware Business Trust Act, which was replaced by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act as of September 1, 2002. The Trust is a successor to the Campbell Fund Limited Partnership (formerly known as the Commodity Trend Fund) which began trading operations in January 1972. The Trust currently trades in the U.S. and international futures and forward markets under the sole direction of Campbell & Company, LP, the managing operator of the Trust. Specifically, the Trust trades in a diverse array of global assets, including global interest rates, stock indices, currencies and commodities. The Trust is an actively managed account with speculative trading profits as its objective.

Effective August 31, 2008, the Trust began offering Series A, Series B, and Series W Units. The units in the Trust prior to that date became Series B Units. Series B Units are only available for additional investment by existing holders of Series B Units.

As of June 30, 2017, the aggregate capitalization of the Trust was $599,118,931 with Series A, Series B and Series W comprising $460,508,139, $76,231,979 and $62,378,813, respectively, of the total. The Net Asset Value per Unit was $2,421.99 for Series A, $2,620.31 for Series B, and $2,726.26 for Series W.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of 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 and prudent; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Trust's significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 of the Financial Statements.

The Trust records all investments at fair value in its financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of realized and change in unrealized trading gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Generally, fair values are based on market prices; however, in certain circumstances, estimates are involved in determining fair value in the absence of an active market closing price (i.e., forward contracts which are traded in the inter-bank market).

Capital Resources

The Trust will raise additional capital only through the sale of Units offered pursuant to the continuing offering, and does not intend to raise any capital through borrowing. Due to the nature of the Trust's business, it will make no capital expenditures and will have no capital assets which are not operating capital or assets.

The Trust generally maintains 60% to 75% of its net asset value in cash, cash equivalents or other liquid positions in its cash management program over and above that needed to post as collateral for trading. These funds are available to meet redemptions each month. After redemptions and additions are taken into account each month, the trade levels of the Trust are adjusted and positions in the instruments the Trust trades are added or liquidated on a pro-rata basis to meet those increases or decreases in trade levels.

Liquidity

Most United States futures exchanges limit fluctuations in futures contracts prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." During a single trading day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a futures contract has reached the daily limit for that day, positions in that contract can neither be taken nor liquidated. Futures prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Similar occurrences could prevent the Trust from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the Trust to substantial losses which could exceed the margin initially committed to such trades. In addition, even if futures prices have not moved the daily limit, the Trust may not be able to execute futures trades at favorable prices, if little trading in such contracts is taking place. Other than these limitations on liquidity, which are inherent in the Trust's futures trading operations, the Trust's assets are expected to be highly liquid.
 
The entire offering proceeds, without deductions, will be credited to the Trust's bank, custodial and/or cash management accounts. The Trust meets margin requirements for its trading activities by depositing cash and U.S. government securities with the futures broker and the over-the-counter counterparty. This does not reduce the risk of loss from trading activities. The Trust receives all interest earned on its assets. No other person shall receive any interest or other economic benefits from the deposit of Trust assets.

Approximately 10% to 30% of the Trust's assets normally are committed as required margin for futures contracts and held by the futures brokers, although the amount committed may vary significantly. Such assets are maintained in the form of cash or U.S. Treasury Bills in segregated accounts with the futures brokers pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and regulations thereunder. Approximately 5% to 15% of the Trust's assets are deposited with the over-the-counter counterparty in order to initiate and maintain forward contracts. Such assets are not held in segregation or otherwise regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act, unless such over-the-counter counterparty is registered as a futures commission merchant. These assets are held either in U.S. government securities or short-term time deposits with U.S.-regulated bank affiliates of the over-the-counter counterparty.

The managing operator deposits the majority of those assets of the Trust that are not required to be deposited as margin with the futures brokers and over-the-counter counterparties in a custodial account with Northern Trust Company. The assets deposited in the custodial account with Northern Trust Company are segregated. Such custodial account constitutes approximately 60% to 75% of the Trust's assets and are invested directly by PNC Capital Advisors, LLC ("PNC"). PNC is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. PNC does not guarantee any interest or profits will accrue on the Trust's assets in the custodial account. PNC invest the assets according to agreed upon investment guidelines that first preserve capital, second allow for sufficient liquidity, and third provide a yield beyond the risk-free rate. Investments can include, but are not limited to, (i) U.S. Government Securities, Government Agency Securities, Municipal Securities, banker acceptances and certificates of deposits; (ii) commercial paper; (iii) short-term investment grade corporate debt; and (iv) Asset Backed Securities.

The Trust occasionally receives margin calls (requests to post more collateral) from its futures brokers or over-the-counter counterparty, which are met by moving the required portion of the assets held in the custody account at Northern Trust to the margin accounts. In the past three years, the Trust has not needed to liquidate any position as a result of a margin call.

The Trust's assets are not and will not be, directly or indirectly, commingled with the property of any other person in violation of law or invested in or loaned to Campbell & Company or any affiliated entities.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The term "off-balance sheet risk" refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in future obligation or loss. The Trust trades in futures and forward contracts and is therefore a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts there exists a risk to the Trust, market risk, that such contracts may be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interests positions of the Trust at the same time, and if the Trust's trading advisor was unable to offset futures interests positions of the Trust, the Trust could lose all of its assets and the Unitholders would realize a 100% loss. Campbell & Company, the managing operator (who also acts as trading advisor), minimizes market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio that rarely exceeds 30% however, these precautions may not be effective in limiting the risk of loss.
 
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures and forward contracts there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Trust. The counterparty for futures contracts traded in the United States and on most foreign exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions.

In the case of forward contracts, which are traded on the interbank market rather than on exchanges, the counterparty is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. Campbell & Company trades for the Trust only with those counterparties which it believes to be creditworthy. All positions of the Trust are valued each day at fair value. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to the Trust.

Disclosures About Certain Trading Activities that Include Non-Exchange Traded Contracts Accounted for at Fair Value

The Trust invests in futures and forward currency contracts. The market value of futures (exchange-traded) contracts is determined by the various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close of the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of forward (non-exchange traded) contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) of the last business day of the reporting period.

FX and commodity losses offset gains in stock indexes and led to a down January as losses came from foreign exchange, commodity, and interest rate positions while stock index holdings produced some partially offsetting gains. Foreign exchange (FX) produced some of the largest losses during the month. Positioning within FX was broadly long the US dollar versus most other major currencies. Following the election of Donald Trump, the US dollar strengthened and our trading systems generally aligned positioning with that momentum. However, January saw a reversal of this trend as investors pared back their bullish bets on the greenback amid worries that President Trump was focusing more on protectionism than on pro-growth economic policies. Our FX holdings suffered as a result of this broad reversal in the US dollar. Commodity holdings added to the January losses. Within the energy sub-sector, long positioning on gasoline produced losses amid bearish inventory data. Short soybean holdings, part of the grains sub-sector, experienced losses due to a weakening US dollar and flood conditions in Argentina. In the softs sub-sector, a short on coffee saw losses due to a stronger Brazilian real and a downgrade to Brazil’s output forecast. Some partially offsetting gains came from the industrial metals sub-sector. Long positioning on zinc, copper, and aluminum all saw gains amid a combination of bullish fundamentals, especially from China, and some supply disruptions. Interest rate holdings also produced losses. Long holdings on the German 10-year note saw declines as bond prices fell amid rising inflation in the Eurozone. Inflation reached a 4-year high and approached the ECB’s stated 2% target. Stock index holdings contributed some offsetting gains. Long holdings across our universe of global stock indexes benefited from a continuation of the rally that started with the election of Trump and his expected reflationary policies. Concerns over President Trump’s Executive Order limiting some immigration into the US capped gains late in the month as some investors became unnerved by the action.

Gains in stock indexes, FX, and interest rates led to a profitable February as profits came from stock indexes, foreign exchange, and interest rate positions while commodity holdings produced some partially offsetting losses for the Trust. Stock index holdings contributed some of the strongest gains to the Trust. Long holdings across the Trust’s universe of global stock indexes benefited from generally better than expected economic data. The Bloomberg US indicator of economic surprises reached its strongest level since 2012. Solid fourth quarter 2016 corporate earnings reports also helped to fuel the rally, along with a steadily improving US labor market. Stock markets continued to look past the new Trump administration’s lack of policy implementation details and focused more on the potential benefits that tax reform, deregulation, and infrastructure spending might provide to global economies. Foreign exchange (FX) produced some additional gains as the Trust's models took advantage of the mixed performance among the developed and emerging FX markets. Long positioning on higher-yielding currencies, such as the South African rand which rallied over 3% in February, proved profitable. A short position on the euro also showed a gain when it weakened on the back of French election concerns in the EU. Interest rate holdings also produced profits. Long positioning on longer-dated instruments within Germany provided some of the best gains. German 5-year and 10-year notes both rallied on a flight to quality move as investors grew more concerned about the spring French Presidential election. Marine Le Pen, the head of the far-right French Front National Party who has threatened to try to pull France out of the EU if elected, rose in the polls during the month. Commodity holdings modestly detracted from the February gains for the Trust. Profits from precious metals (mostly from silver) and industrial metals (mostly from aluminum) were more than offset by losses in the other sub-sectors. Grains were one of the worst performing sub-sectors as a short position on wheat suffered as the market rose to a 7-month high amid tight global ending stock projections.
 
Mixed performance across the asset classes traded led to a down March as losses came from interest rate, foreign exchange, and commodity positions while stock index holdings produced some partially offsetting gains. Interest rate holdings produced some of the largest losses during the month. Long positioning on instruments within Germany sold off on higher EU inflation readings and as investors grew more comfortable that anti-EU political populism in France and the Netherlands was stalling. Short positioning within the US was hurt when fixed income instruments reversed the recent downtrend mid-month amid a less hawkish Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) message communicated after their decision to hike interest rates on March 15th. Foreign exchange produced some additional losses as our models failed to successfully navigate a choppy month of price action for the US dollar. For example, long positioning on the New Zealand dollar (kiwi) suffered early in the month as that currency weakened against the US dollar leading up to the mid-month FOMC meeting which was widely expected to be hawkish. Our models then flipped to short the kiwi only to see the currency begin to strengthen when the US dollar sold off on the more dovish than expected message delivered by the Federal Reserve. Commodity holdings modestly detracted from the Trust during March. Some of the largest monthly losses came from the energy, precious metal, industrial metal, and meat sub-sectors. Partially offsetting gains were found in the soft commodity and grain sub-sectors, with some of the best profits coming from sugar and wheat. Stock index holdings contributed the strongest profits to the Trust during the month. Some of the best gains were found via long positions on European stock indexes which benefited from the ongoing global reflation trade and dampening concerns around anti-EU political populism in the region. Our models also saw success in Asia as long positioning within Australia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan proved profitable as ongoing improvements in the Chinese economy, linked with enduring hopes for US tax reform and infrastructure spending, supported shares around the globe.

April gains came from stock index, foreign exchange, and interest rate holdings while commodities produced some partially offsetting losses for the Trust. Stock index holdings contributed the strongest profits to the Trust during the month. Global stock markets generally shook off new tensions with North Korea and a US cruise-missile strike on targets in Syria. A market-friendly French election outcome, above-trend US earnings growth, and movement on a number of policies by the White House all provided a positive offset to the worrisome news. Long positioning on global stock indexes benefitted from the gains shown by equities during the month with some of the best profits coming from the United States and Hong Kong. Foreign exchange holdings added to the Trust gains during April. A short position on the Canadian dollar (versus the US dollar) benefitted as the loonie fell in value after President Trump announced a planned tariff on softwood lumber imports from Canada and also threatened to withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Some partially offsetting losses were seen from a short on the euro (versus the US dollar) when currency markets cheered the French election outcome and sent the euro sharply higher late in the month. Interest rate positions produced some additional profits. Long positioning on 10-year notes in Canada and Japan saw some of the best monthly gains within the sector as yields fell in those countries which sent bond prices higher. Commodity holdings produced losses during the month. Long positioning on crude suffered when that market saw a price drop as record US crude stockpiles began to raise doubts about OPEC’s ability to curtail a global supply glut. Long holdings on the industrial metals showed losses when an unwind of the global reflation trade pushed commodity prices lower. Some gains were found in long positioning on live cattle which saw sharp price gains amid supply concerns following declines in slaughter estimates and a drop in cold storage inventories.

May shows losses caused by foreign exchange and commodity positions, while stock index and interest rate holdings produced partially offsetting gains for the Trust. Foreign exchange holdings produced some of the largest losses during May. Long positioning on the US dollar against most developed currencies drove the decline. An ongoing unwind of the Trump-induced reflation-trade, linked with some mixed US economic data and generally stronger European data, conspired to send the greenback lower during the month. The political turmoil that gripped Washington DC added to the US dollar angst while a soothing of political tensions in Europe, due to the election of Emmanuel Macron in France, helped support European currencies. Commodity holdings also produced losses during the month. Long positioning on natural gas suffered when that market saw a price drop as mild weather in the US reduced demand and as a new trade agreement with China is expected to encourage US drillers to produce more of the commodity. A short cocoa position suffered amid flood conditions and unrest in the Ivory Coast which sent prices higher. The grains produced some partially offsetting gains as a short soybean position profited from a sell-off in that market due to continued concerns surrounding increased South American planting expectations and steady US planting progress. Long holdings on global stock indexes contributed some of the strongest profits to the Trust. Some of the best gains were seen in Hong Kong and the US as technology stocks performed particularly well. Improving global growth, linked with still-accommodative central banks and ongoing hope the Trump administration will ultimately get tax reform and infrastructure spending passed, kept the buy-the-dip mentality firmly in place. Interest rate positions produced additional profits. Long positioning on 10-year notes in Canada, Australia, and Germany produced gains as central banks in those regions indicated they planned to remain patient with their accommodative policies.
 
The Trust showed a loss in June led down by Interest Rate Holdings as losses came from interest rate, commodities and foreign exchange positions, while stock index holdings had little impact on the Trust’s profit & loss (P&L) during the month. Interest rate positions produced the largest losses for the Trust during June. Long positioning on European, Australian, United Kingdom, and Canadian interest rate notes were some of the worst performing markets within the sector for the Trust. Late in the month, Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), gave a speech at the opening of the ECB's Forum on Central Banking which heightened expectations for monetary policy tapering in Europe. In subsequent days, several other major central banks, such as the Bank of England (BOE) and the Bank of Canada (BOC), also delivered more hawkish messages. The US has already embarked on a series of interest rate hikes and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has indicated that more hikes are likely to come. The specter of an end to ultra-loose monetary policy on both sides of the Atlantic triggered a widespread sell-off in global fixed income markets which sent global yields higher and had a detrimental impact on the Trust. Commodity holdings produced additional losses during June. Some of the worst losses came from short positioning on wheat which rose amid declines in crop conditions, strong export sales, and a weaker US dollar. Partially-offsetting gains were found in short energy positions as the crude complex saw a broad-based sell-off. Short soft commodity holdings benefitted from a decline fueled by ample supply expectations. Foreign exchange markets also contributed to losses this month. Long holdings on the US dollar against the Canadian dollar was one of the worst performing FX positions. The loonie appreciated about 4% versus the US dollar as the BOC kick-started the theme of policy normalization which led to losses. Long holdings on global stock indexes ended the month showing little impact on the Trust. Early month gains were given back late in June as investors were unnerved by the global rise in rates which pushed many markets down from recent highs.

2016 (For the Six Months Ended June 30)

Of the (4.26)% year to date return for Series A, approximately (2.07)% due to trading losses (before commissions) and approximately (2.64)% due to brokerage fees, management fees, operating costs and offering costs, offset by approximately 0.45% due to investment income earned by Series A.

Of the (4.02)% year to date return for Series B, approximately (2.07)% due to trading losses (before commissions) and approximately (2.40)% due to brokerage fees, management fees, and operating costs, offset by approximately 0.45% due to investment income earned by Series B.

Of the (3.41)% year to date return for Series W, approximately (2.07)% due to trading losses (before commissions) and approximately (1.79)% due to brokerage fees, management fees, service fees, operating costs and offering costs, offset by approximately 0.45% due to investment income earned by Series W.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Trust accrued management fees in the amount of $17,578,678 and paid management fees in the amount of $17,699,313. No performance fees were accrued or paid during this period.

The Trust showed a gain during January as profits came from foreign exchange, interest rate, and commodity holdings while stock indexes provided small offsetting losses during the month. Foreign exchange positions from both trend following and non-trend strategies produced some of the best gains. Long US dollar positioning versus short commodity currencies, such as the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, and South African rand, showed gains as the commodity sell-off continued, especially within the energy complex. Short positioning on the British pound versus the US dollar also benefitted as global growth concerns reduced the likelihood of a Bank of England interest rate hike and on heightened speculation of a UK exit from the European Union (the so-called "BREXIT"). Interest rate positions provided additional gains to the Trust during January, particularly from the non-trend systems. Long positioning on both long-dated and short-dated instruments experienced profits. The sharp sell-off in global stock indexes fueled safe-haven buying in interest rate products. In addition, ongoing dovish commentary from global central banks added to the upward price pressure. In fact, near month-end, the Bank of Japan adopted a new, and unexpected, negative interest rate policy that fueled additional buying of global interest rate markets. Some additional gains during the month came from commodity positions, with both trend and non-trend strategies contributing. Short positioning within the energy complex, namely on WTI and Brent, produced some of the best gains. Oil prices touched a 12-year low during the month as Iranian export sanctions were lifted which only added to the persistent oversupply within global markets as world demand continued to wane. Short positioning on copper returned profits as that metal saw lower prices amid ongoing economic weakness within China. A short position on gold produced some offsetting losses as risk-off sentiment produced safe-haven buying of the metal. Stock indexes showed losses as long positioning from the trend systems suffered amid the steep sell-off in equities as global growth concerns persisted to start the New Year.

February for the Trust comprised of profits from interest rate, commodity, and stock index holdings while foreign exchange positions provided some offsetting losses during the month. Interest rate positions provided some of the best gains to the Trust during February, particularly from the non-trend systems. Long positioning on long-dated instruments experienced profits, while short-dated products saw small losses. The best sector gains were found within Germany and the UK. Concerns about European bank stocks were a major contributor to the risk-off sentiment during February which provided a tailwind to interest rate markets in the region. Anxieties over a possible BREXIT also drove safe-haven buying. Additional gains during the month came from commodity positions, with both trend and non-trend strategies contributing. Shorts within the energy complex, namely on natural gas, produced some of the best gains. Natural gas prices fell to a 17-year low amid milder temperatures and abundant production. Short positioning on the grains, especially corn and wheat, benefitted when prices dropped due to weaker export sales and healthy global supplies. Short positions on gold and silver produced some offsetting sector losses as the risk-off environment produced safe-haven buying of those metals. Stock index holdings showed a very small gain. A short position on the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong was one of the best performing trades as that index fell amid ongoing concerns over the health of the Chinese economy. Foreign exchange positions from both trend following and non-trend strategies produced losses for the Trust. February saw some very choppy price action within the various currency pairs making for a difficult trading environment. The Trust was short the Japanese yen versus the US dollar and experienced losses when the yen strengthened despite the Bank of Japan's recent negative interest rate policy announcement. Trend following systems saw some offsetting gains from a short on the British pound as BREXIT concerns drove the currency to new multi-year lows.

The Trust declined in March due to losses driven by commodity positioning, while foreign exchange, interest rate and stock index holdings had only a slightly negative impact during the month. Commodity positions from both the trend and non-trend systems provided some of the biggest losses during March. Short positioning across the petroleum complex suffered when those markets moved higher in response to an Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) announcement that the organization had scheduled a mid-April meeting to discuss output levels. Natural gas shorts hurt the Trust as well as that product rallied amid larger than expected inventory draws. Short holdings on the grain markets also led to losses with soybeans being one of the worst performers. Strong exports, political tensions in Brazil, and lower inventory projections were all behind the move higher. Coffee shorts also suffered as the political tensions in Brazil drove prices up. Foreign exchange positions added small additional losses. Long positioning on the Australian dollar produced profits as a dovish U.S. Federal Reserve and ultra-loose policies in Japan and Europe collectively boosted the appeal of higher yielding currencies. A short on the British pound produced some offsetting losses as that currency experienced an oversold bounce fueled in part by a more dovish US Fed. Interest rate holdings had a slightly negative impact on the monthly P&L. Price action during March was very choppy making it difficult for some systems to find and hold profitable trades. The first half of the month saw fixed income prices chop lower as stock prices moved higher. The second half of the month saw a sharp reversal higher as the US Fed took a more dovish than expected stance on interest rate policy. Stock index holdings also had only a slightly negative monthly P&L impact. Global equity indexes generally moved higher during March as commodity prices bounced and global central banks continued to provide an accommodative backdrop for stocks. The Trust held a mix of long and short holdings leading to offsetting gains and losses that left the sector nearly flat at month-end.
 
The Trust showed a decline in April. Losses came from interest rate, commodity, stock index, and foreign exchange holdings. Interest rate holdings had the largest negative impact on the monthly P&L with both trend following and non-trend systems suffering. Fixed income prices saw a sharp reversal lower during the month which hurt long positioning within the Trust. Increasing inflation expectations amid a sharp bounce in crude oil prices, which have rallied over 60% from the decade-plus low seen in February, pushed interest rate yields higher and prices lower. Tentative signs that Chinese economic activity was beginning to stabilize only added to the downward pressure as money rotated to riskier assets, such as stocks and commodities. Commodity positions from both the trend and non-trend systems also provided losses to the Trust during April. Short positioning on the energies, industrial metals, soft commodities, and grain markets all contributed to the losses. Many markets in each of these sub-sectors saw sharp intra-month reversals to the upside fueled by short covering amid a revived "risk-on" environment. A weaker US dollar also contributed upward momentum to many of the dollar-denominated commodity markets. Some offsetting gains came from long positioning on silver which benefitted from the weaker US dollar and low inventory levels and short holdings on the cattle complex as those markets retreated on the back of slow seasonal demand and oversupply concerns. Stock index holdings showed a negative monthly P&L impact, especially from the trend models. Global equity indexes generally moved higher during April as commodity prices bounced and global central banks continued to provide an accommodative backdrop for stocks. Foreign exchange positions added additional losses. Short positioning on the British pound versus the US dollar showed losses when the pound strengthened as fears began to subside that the United Kingdom might vote to exit the European Union at a planned referendum in June (the so-called BREXIT).

Losses in commodities and foreign exchange left the Trust with a decline in May, while interest rate and stock index holdings produced gains. Commodity positions from both the trend and non-trend models provided losses to the Trust. Long holdings on gold and silver both suffered as the US dollar strengthened during the month. Short positioning within the energy complex generated losses as the price of crude rallied on back of the supply and demand equilibrium showing tentative signs of rebalancing. In the meats, short cattle positions suffered as those markets rose amid signs of increased demand. Small offsetting profits were found within the grains sub-sector as a long soybean position profited due to strong US export sales and South American crop concerns. Foreign exchange positions from both the trend and non-trend systems also showed losses during May. After weakening for several months in a row, the US dollar steadily strengthened throughout most of the month hurting the Trust's short dollar positions against a variety of currencies. Front-end US yields repriced higher as the Fed reminded markets through multiple channels that all FOMC meetings going forward are "live" with respect to potential policy change, fueling US dollar strength. Interest rate holdings had one of the largest positive impacts on the monthly P&L with both trend following and non-trend systems showing gains. Long positioning on long -dated markets in Europe, Australia, and the UK produced some of the best gains. A mix of weaker economic data, dovish central bank actions, and concern over the late June UK referendum to leave the Euro-zone (i.e. "BREXIT") all helped to push prices higher in those regions during May. Stock index holdings showed a positive monthly P&L impact, especially from the non-trend models. The faster-reacting non-trend systems were able to successfully navigate the choppy price action seen in many of the global stock indexes. A short position on the S&P 500 volatility index benefitted from the general risk-on environment in the second half of the month which pushed that index sharply lower.

The Trust showed a profit in June as gains came from interest rate and commodity markets, while stock index and foreign exchange holdings produced some losses. Interest rate holdings had the largest positive impact on the monthly P&L with both trend following and non-trend systems showing gains. Long positions across global interest rate markets showed strong profits, especially within Europe. United Kingdom voters surprised and shocked markets worldwide with their decision to leave the European Union. The so-called BREXIT sparked a risk-off reaction globally, with government bond futures among the largest beneficiaries, as investors accepted record low bond yields in multiple markets in exchange for the safety of government paper. Commodity positions from the trend models provided some additional gains. Long positioning on the precious metals was one of the best performing sub-sectors. The flight to safety triggered by the UK BREXIT vote along with dampened expectations of additional US FOMC interest rate hikes this year pushed gold and silver prices sharply higher. The grains sub-sector contributed additional profits led by a long soybean holding which rose amid a bullish June crop report. Short positioning on natural gas produced some offsetting losses as lower average inventories, as calculated by the US EIA, helped contribute to a short squeeze in that market. Stock index holdings produced some of the largest monthly losses with both the trend following and non-trend systems contributing. Long global stock index exposure suffered from risk-off selling caused by the uncertainty that the UK BREXIT vote created. In addition, a short position on the CBOE volatility index future produced losses amid the sharp spike in volatility due to the UK referendum. Foreign exchange positions showed some small losses during June. Mixed FX positioning against the US dollar led to mostly offsetting gains and losses. Profits were seen on a long Japanese yen position which strengthened in a flight-to safety trade. Losses were produced by positioning on the Euro which saw choppy price action leading up to and after the surprising BREXIT decision.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Introduction

Past Results Not Necessarily Indicative of Future Performance

The Trust is a speculative commodity pool. The market sensitive instruments held by it are acquired for speculative trading purposes, and all or a substantial amount of the Trust's 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 Trust's main line of business.

Market movements result in frequent changes in the fair market value of the Trust's open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Trust's market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of exchange rates, interest rates, equity price levels, the market value of financial instruments and contracts, the diversification effects among the Trust's open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.

The Trust rapidly acquires and liquidates 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 Trust's past performance is not necessarily indicative of its future results.

Standard of Materiality

Materiality as used in this section, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and the potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account the leverage and multiplier features of the Trust's market sensitive instruments.

Quantifying the Trust's Trading Value at Risk

Quantitative Forward-Looking Statements

The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Trust's market risk exposures contain "forward- looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact (such as the dollar amount of maintenance margin required for market risk sensitive instruments held at the end of the reporting period).

The Trust's risk exposure in the various market sectors traded is estimated in terms of Value at Risk (VaR). The Trust estimates VaR using a model based upon historical simulation (with a confidence level of 97.5%) which involves constructing a distribution of hypothetical daily changes in the value of a trading portfolio. The VaR model takes into account linear exposures to risks, including equity and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and correlation among these variables. The hypothetical changes in portfolio value are based on daily percentage changes observed in key market indices or other market factors to which the portfolio is sensitive. The Trust's VaR at a one day 97.5% confidence level corresponds to the negative change in portfolio value that, based on observed market risk factors, would have been exceeded once in 40 trading days or one day in 40. VaR typically does not represent the worst case outcome.
 
The Trust uses approximately one quarter of daily market data and revalues its portfolio for each of the historical market moves that occurred over this time period. This generates a probability distribution of daily "simulated profit and loss" outcomes. The VaR is the 2.5 percentile of this distribution.

The VaR for a sector represents the 2.5 percentile of outcomes for the aggregate exposures associated with that sector alone. The current methodology used to calculate the aggregate VaR represents the VaR of the Trust's open positions across all market sectors, and is less than the sum of the VaRs for all such market sectors due to the diversification benefit across asset classes.

The Trust's VaR computations are based on the risk representation of the underlying benchmark for each instrument or contract and does not distinguish between exchange and non-exchange dealer-based instruments. It is also not based on exchange and/or dealer-based maintenance margin requirements.

VaR models, including the Trust's, are continually evolving as trading portfolios become more diverse and modeling techniques and systems capabilities improve. Please note that the VaR model is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by the Trust in its daily risk management activities. Please further note that VaR as described above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.

Because the business of the Trust is the speculative trading of futures and forwards, the composition of the Trust's trading portfolio can change significantly over any given time period, or even within a single trading day, which could positively or negatively materially impact market risk as measured by VaR.

Material Limitations of Value at Risk as an Assessment of Market Risk

The following limitations of VaR as an assessment of market risk should be noted:

1)
Past changes in market risk factors will not always result in accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of future market movements;

2)
Changes in portfolio value caused by market movements may differ from those of the VaR model;

3)
VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk depends on future positions;

4)
VaR using a one day time horizon does not fully capture the market risk of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged within one day; and

5)
The historical market risk factor data for VaR estimation may provide only limited insight into losses that could be incurred under certain unusual market movements.
 
VaR is not necessarily representative of historic risk nor should it be used to predict the Trust's future financial performance or its ability to manage and monitor risk. There can be no assurance that the Trust's actual losses on a particular day will not exceed the VaR amounts indicated or that such losses will not occur more than once in 40 trading days.

Non-Trading Risk

The Trust has non-trading market risk on its foreign cash balances not needed for margin. However, these balances (as well as the market risk they represent) are immaterial. The Trust also has non-trading market risk as a result of investing a portion of its available assets in U.S. Treasury Bills held at the broker and over-the-counter counterparty. The market risk represented by these investments is minimal. Finally, the Trust has non-trading market risk on fixed income securities held as part of its cash management program. The cash manager will use its best endeavors in the management of the assets of the Trust but provide no guarantee that any profit or interest will accrue to the Trust as a result of such management.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Primary Trading Risk Exposures

The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Trust's market risk exposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact and (ii) the descriptions of how the Trust manages its primary market risk exposures — constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. The Trust's primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by Campbell & Company for managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of the Trust's risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures and the risk management strategies of the Trust. There can be no assurance that the Trust's current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short- or long-term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Trust.

The following represent the primary trading risk exposures of the Trust as of June 30, 2017 by market sector.

Currencies

The Trust's currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. These fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Trust trades in a large number of currencies, including cross-rates — i.e., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Campbell & Company does not anticipate that the risk profile of the Trust's currency sector will change significantly in the future.

Interest Rates

Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond positions held by the Trust and indirectly the value of its stock index and currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries materially impact the Trust's profitability. The Trust's primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and the other G-7 countries. Campbell & Company anticipates that G-7 interest rates will remain the primary rate exposure of the Trust for the foreseeable future. Changes in the interest rate environment will have the most impact on longer dated fixed income positions, at points of time throughout the year the majority of the speculative positions held by the Trust may be held in medium to long-term fixed income positions.
 
Stock Indices

The Trust's primary equity exposure is to equity price risk in the G-7 countries as well as Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Netherlands, India, South Africa and Sweden. The stock index futures traded by the Trust are by law limited to futures on broadly based indices. The Trust is primarily exposed to the risk of adverse price trends or static markets in the major U.S., European and Japanese indices. Markets that trade in a narrow range could result in the Trust's positions being "whipsawed" into numerous small losses.

Energy

The Trust's primary energy market exposure is to natural gas, crude oil and derivative product price movements often resulting from international political developments and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and the perceived outcome. Oil and gas prices can be volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.

Metals

The Trust's metals market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of aluminum, copper, gold, nickel, palladium, platinum, silver and zinc.

Agricultural

The Trust's agricultural exposure is to fluctuations of the price of cattle, cocoa, coffee, corn, cotton, hogs, soy, sugar and wheat.

Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposure

The following were the primary non-trading risk exposures of the Trust as of June 30, 2017.
 
Foreign Currency Balances

The Trust's primary foreign currency balances are in Australian Dollar, British Pounds, Canadian Dollar, Euros, Hong Kong Dollar, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollar, South African Rand and Swedish Krona. The Trust controls the non-trading risk of these balances by regularly converting these balances back into dollars (no less frequently than twice a month, and more frequently if a particular foreign currency balance becomes unusually large).

Fixed Income Securities

The Trust's primary market exposure in instruments (other than treasury positions described in the subsequent section) held other than for trading is in its fixed income portfolio. The cash manager, PNC, has authority to make certain investments on behalf of the Trust. All securities purchased by the cash manager on behalf of the Trust will be held in the Trust's custody account at the custodian. The cash manager will use its best endeavors in the management of the assets of the Trust but provides no guarantee that any profit or interest will accrue to the Trust as a result of such management.

U.S. Treasury Bill Positions Held for Margin Purposes

The Trust also has market exposure in its U.S. Treasury Bill portfolio. The Trust holds U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities no longer than six months. Violent fluctuations in prevailing interest rates could cause minimal mark-to-market losses on the Trust's U.S. Treasury Bills, although substantially all of these short-term investments are held to maturity.
 
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure

The means by which the Trust and Campbell & Company, severally, attempt to manage the risk of the Trust's open positions is essentially the same in all market categories traded. Campbell & Company applies risk management policies to its trading which generally limit the total exposure that may be taken per "risk unit" of assets under management. In addition, Campbell & Company follows diversification guidelines (often formulated in terms of the balanced volatility between markets and correlated groups), as well as reducing position sizes dynamically in response to trading losses.

General

The Trust is unaware of any (i) anticipated known demands, commitments or capital expenditures; (ii) material trends, favorable or unfavorable, in its capital resources; or (iii) trends or uncertainties that will have a material effect on operations. From time to time, certain regulatory agencies have proposed increased margin requirements on futures contracts. Because the Trust generally will use a small percentage of assets as margin, the Trust does not believe that any increase in margin requirements, as proposed, will have a material effect on the Trust's operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Campbell & Company, the managing operator of the Trust, with the participation of the managing operator's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) with respect to the Trust as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on their evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in the managing operator's internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Trust identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Trust.
