Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Ceres Managed Futures LLC, the general partner of the Registrant (the “General Partner”), and the Registrant entered into a management agreement dated as of March 1, 2018 (the “Management Agreement”) with Buttonwood Merchants, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buttonwood”). The Management Agreement was entered into as a result of Launchpad Capital Management, LLC (“Launchpad”) transferring all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Registrant to Buttonwood. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Buttonwood (i) has assumed the rights and obligations of Launchpad with respect to the Registrant and (ii) manages the portion of the Registrant’s assets allocated to it.
The General Partner has initially selected Buttonwood’s Liquid Commodity Strategy, a proprietary, systematic strategy, to manage the Registrant’s assets allocated to Buttonwood. Buttonwood will trade the Registrant’s assets allocated to it directly through a managed account in the Registrant’s name. The General Partner and Buttonwood have agreed that Buttonwood will trade the Registrant’s assets allocated to Buttonwood at a level that is up to 2.0 times the amount of such assets.
Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Registrant will pay Buttonwood a monthly fee for professional management services equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% per year) of the month-end net assets (as defined in the Management Agreement) allocated to Buttonwood. Buttonwood will also receive a quarterly incentive fee equal to 20% of new trading profits (as defined in the Management Agreement) earned by Buttonwood for the Registrant in each calendar quarter.
The Management Agreement expires on July 31, 2018. If it is not terminated as of that date, it shall automatically renew for an additional one-year period and shall continue to renew for additional one-year periods until it is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement.
A copy of the Management Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
