NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

_______________

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. General Description of the Partnership

Altegris Winton Futures Fund, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was organized as a Colorado limited partnership in March 1999, and will continue until December 31, 2035, unless sooner terminated as provided for in the Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Agreement”), as amended and restated from time to time. The Partnership's general partner is Altegris Advisors, L.L.C. (the “General Partner”). The General Partner has the overall responsibility for the management, operation and administration of the Partnership, including the selection of its commodity trading adviser. The Partnership's trading activities are conducted pursuant to an advisor contract with Winton Capital Management Limited (the "Advisor"). The Partnership speculatively trades commodity futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward contracts and other commodity interests. The objective of the Partnership’s business is appreciation of its assets. The Partnership 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 registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, as an investment adviser and is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator, and is a member of the National Futures Association, an industry self-regulatory organization.

B. Method of Reporting

The Partnership’s financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Partnership follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and reported amounts of income and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 differences could be material.

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the General Partner, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim period.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

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 from 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.

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

Foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. The Partnership includes forward currency contracts in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of U.S. government agency bonds and notes is 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 that 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 generally categorized in Levels 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, none of the Partnership’s holdings in U.S. government agency bonds and notes were fair valued using valuation models.

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, bond, 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, 2020 or December 31, 2019, none of the Partnership’s holdings in corporate notes were fair valued using valuation models.

The fair value of certificates of deposit is determined based on a constant maturity curve for comparable instruments denominated in USD. This valuation method represents both a market and income approach to fair value measurement. Certificates of deposit are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 specific identification cost method. Change in net unrealized gain or loss from the preceding period is reported in the Statements of Income (Loss). Brokerage commissions 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, options on futures contracts and forward currency 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 and options on futures contracts include other trading fees 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, 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 gain (loss) on other assets and other liabilities denominated in foreign currency arise from changes in the value of assets, other than investments in securities, and liabilities at quarter end, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) is the Partnership’s custodian. SG Americas Securities, LLC (the “Clearing Broker”) is the Partnership’s commodity broker. A portion of the Partnership’s assets are held as initial margin or option premiums (in cash or Treasury securities) in the Partnership’s brokerage accounts at the Clearing Broker. The Clearing Broker may convert the Partnership’s cash in U.S. dollar to foreign currency to facilitate the Partnership’s commodity trading activities. At times, the Partnership may carry foreign cash on loan with the Clearing Broker. Any net foreign currency on loan will be recognized in Foreign Currency Due to Broker on the Statements of Financial Condition.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income (continued)

The Partnership’s Clearing Broker holds margin balances in a single currency, in which all margin requirements can be satisfied in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency balances can also be used to satisfy margin requirements. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Partnership’s Segregated cash balance on the Statements of Financial Condition of $3,909,156 and $7,510,328, respectively, represents the collateral pledged by the Partnership to satisfy the Clearing Broker’s margin requirements in US Dollars. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Partnership’s Segregated foreign currency balance on the Statements of Financial Condition of $754,927 and $1,582,344, respectively, represents the collateral pledged by the Partnership to satisfy the Clearing Broker’s margin requirements in foreign currency. The Partnership’s assets not deposited at the Clearing Broker are deposited with either the Custodian or held in bank cash accounts at Northern Trust Company (and used to pay Partnership operating expenses). For the Partnership’s cash deposited at the Custodian, the Partnership receives cash management services from J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”).

Option Contracts

Generally, an option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the premium paid, the right to buy a specified security, currency or other instrument (an ‘‘underlying instrument’’) from the writer of the option (in the case of a call option), or to sell a specified security, currency, or other instrument to the writer of the option (in the case of put option) at a designated price. Put and call options that the Partnership may purchase or write may be traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. All option positions entered into on a national securities exchange are cleared and guaranteed by the options clearing corporation, thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default. There can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold.

As the buyer of an option, the Partnership has a right to buy (call option) or sell (put option) the underlying instrument at the exercise price. The Partnership may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to options, exercise them, or permit them to expire unexercised. When buying options, the potential loss is limited to the cost (premium plus transaction costs) of the option.

As the writer of an option, the Partnership has the obligation to buy (call option) or sell (put option) the underlying instrument at the exercise price. When the Partnership writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Partnership is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. If the written option expires unexercised, the Partnership realizes a gain in the amount of the premium received. If the Partnership enters into a closing transaction, it recognizes a gain or loss, depending on whether the cost of the purchase is less than or greater than the premium received. If the option is exercised, the Partnership will incur a loss to the extent the difference between the current market value of the underlying instrument and the exercise price exceeds the premium received.

_______________

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Option Contracts (continued)

As the writer of a call option, the Partnership retains the risk of loss should the underlying instrument increase in value. If the option is exercised, the Partnership will be required to buy or sell the instrument at the exercise price. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance sheet risk, as the Partnership’s ultimate obligation may exceed the amount indicated in the Statements of Financial Condition.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Partnership did not hold any option contracts.

Futures Contracts

The Partnership engages 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 settled variation margin on the Statements of Financial Condition. Due from / Due to broker amounts on the Statements of Financial Condition represent receivables / payables related to the Partnership’s required cash margin. The Partnership recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are reflected within the Condensed Schedules of Investments.

Forward Currency Contracts

Forward currency contracts are entered into as an economic hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk related to portfolio positions. A forward currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a currency against another currency at a future date at an agreed upon price and quantity. Forward currency contracts are traded over-the-counter and not on an organized exchange. Forward currency contracts help to manage the overall exposure to the foreign currency backing some of the investments held by the Partnership. Each contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Partnership as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Partnership records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of forward currency contracts involves the risk that counterparties may not meet the terms of the agreement or unfavorable movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Open forward currency contracts at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are reflected within the Condensed Schedules of Investments.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Partnership’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, it may transact 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).

Cash

The Partnership maintains a custody account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Northern Trust Company. 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.

Both segregated cash and segregated foreign currency are held as margin collateral for futures transactions.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, the partners are individually liable for their own distributable share of taxable income or loss. No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for U.S., federal, state, or local income taxes.

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’ capital. Based on its analysis, the Partnership has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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 is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for all tax years since 2016.

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 months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

The Partnership did not post any collateral as of September 30, 2020 and had posted additional $1,582,675 collateral for December 31, 2019 with the Clearing Broker. There was no cash collateral receivable by the Partnership from the Clearing Broker as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Partnership may post collateral due to a variety of factors that may include, without limitation, initial margin or other requirements that are based on notional amounts, which may exceed the fair value of the derivative contract.

NOTE 8 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Partnership participates in the speculative trading of commodity futures contracts and forward currency 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 and interbank market makers. Further for futures contracts and options on futures contracts, 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 or interbank market makers to perform under the terms of their contracts (credit risk).

ALTEGRIS Winton Futures Fund, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

_______________

NOTE 8 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONTINUED)

All of the contracts, with the exception of forward currency 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. For forward currency contracts, the Partnership is 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 on forward currency contracts.

The Partnership also has credit risk since 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.

NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management of the Partnership evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued, and concluded that no events subsequent to September 30, 2020 have occurred that would require recognition or disclosure, except as noted below.

From October 1, 2020 through November 11, 2020, the Partnership had redemptions of $1,660,151.

On September 9, 2020, Artivest Holdings, Inc. (“Artivest”), the current parent company of the General Partner publicly announced the entry into a definitive agreement with Altegris Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) to sell all of the outstanding ownership interests of the General Partner to Holdings (the “Acquisition”). Holdings is a newly-formed holding company that will, as of the closing of the Acquisition, be owned by Continuum Capital Managers, LLC (“Continuum”) and AV5 Acquisition, LLC (“AV5”). AV5 is a newly-formed holding company that is solely owned by Matthew C. Osborne. Subsequent to the quarter ending September 30, 2020, Holdings will acquire the General Partner and all related assets from Artivest, including its commodity pool business. The close of this transaction is contemplated to be completed at or about December 31, 2020, or as soon thereafter as possible, at which time the General Partner will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, its new parent company and which will be controlled by Mr. Osborne (through his ownership of AV5) and Continuum.

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, 2020, 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, 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.

Contracts currently traded by the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership include exchange-traded futures contracts and over-the-counter forward currency contracts. 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. The credit risk from counterparty non-performance associated with the Partnership’s over-the-counter forward currency transactions is the net unrealized gain on such contracts plus related collateral held by the counterparty.

The Partnership bears the risk of financial failure by the Clearing Broker and Newedge Alternative Strategies, Inc. (which may from time to time execute spot and other over-the-counter foreign exchange transactions as a counterparty to the Partnership) and/or other clearing brokers or counterparties with which the Partnership trades.

Results of Operations

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 seeks 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.

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.

Performance Summary

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

During the third quarter of 2020, the Partnership achieved net realized and unrealized losses of $3,141,170 from its trading activities, and net of brokerage commissions of $232,823. The Partnership accrued total expenses of $548,906 including $149,945 in management fees paid to the General Partner, $0 in incentive fees, and $203,949 in service and professional fees. The Partnership earned $3,848 in interest income during the third quarter of 2020. An analysis of the profits and losses generated from the Partnership’s commodity futures trading activities for the third quarter of 2020 is set forth below.

Third Quarter 2020. The second quarter’s “risk-on” rally continued through to early September, with global equities reaching a new all-time high by the final week of August and gains for metals and emerging market currencies. Stock markets stumbled in September, amid the prospect of new lockdowns, yet the MSCI World Index still ended the quarter up 7.9%, led by gains in consumer discretionary stocks. Silver and iron ore were the top performers in metals, each rising by about a third, while US dollar weakness was the overarching theme in currencies. The euro appreciated 4.4% and the Japanese yen appreciated 2.4%, against the US dollar during the three-month period. Fixed income markets generally rose as well, with the yield on the US 10-year Treasury note falling to a new record low of 0.52% in August. While the technical macro cluster profited in July from trends in precious metals and fixed income, it gave back these gains in September, amid a reversal in precious metals and currencies. Fundamental signals detracted from performance, due largely to negative performance from carry and seasonality signals in commodities. Performance in commodities was challenging during the quarter, with losses across the metals, energies and agriculture sectors. The negative performance was led by short exposure to US natural gas, aluminum, silver and zinc, all of which rallied over the three months. The fund benefited from its mostly long exposure to fixed income, with Italian BTP, Euribor and short sterling futures leading the gains. Losses, however, accrued from positions in currencies and stock indices. G10 currencies accounted for most of the negative performance, with the British pound, euro and Canadian dollar representing the largest detractors from returns. Performance was more positive in emerging market currencies, with long positions in the Indian rupee, Mexican peso and Chinese yuan generating profits. The fund’s net short position in stock indices, which is driven by fundamental signals, continued to weigh on returns. That said, trend-following signals have turned around in the sector and the short position was much reduced by quarter-end. The fund’s defensive positioning began to turn around in the third quarter, with short stock index positions reducing and exposure to metals and agriculture turning net long.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

During the third quarter of 2019, the Partnership achieved net realized and unrealized gains of $5,067,517 from its trading activities, and net of brokerage commissions of $390,458. The Partnership accrued total expenses of $1,118,253 including $266,052 in management fees paid to the General Partner, $121,298 in incentive fees, and $388,187 in service and professional fees. The Partnership earned $535,417 in interest income during the third quarter of 2019. An analysis of the profits and losses generated from the Partnership’s commodity futures trading activities for the third quarter of 2019 is set forth below.

Third Quarter 2019. The Partnership generated gains in the third quarter of 2019. Stock markets and government bonds continued to rise over the three months to September 30, with the S&P 500 climbing to an all-time high in July and yields on German 10-year bunds falling to a record low in August. The dollar strengthened against most major currencies and gold prices rallied above $1,500 an ounce for the first time since 2013. Oil prices briefly spiked in September after an attack on a Saudi refinery, but ended the quarter lower than where they started. The fund’s positive return was driven by both technical and fundamental signals. The fund gave back some profits during September, due to a two-week period that saw sharp reversals in fixed income markets. However, performance improved towards the end of the month. From a sector perspective, gains were largely driven by long fixed income positions and short positions in G10 currencies. In commodities, returns in the agriculture sector were offset by losses in energies and metals. Bond yields continued to trend downwards in the third quarter, lifting the fund’s long fixed income positions, particularly in longer-dated US government bonds, Italian BTP’s and euro-dollar futures. These profits were reduced when yields rose in the first half of September, but the sector remained the largest positive contributor to performance over the full quarter. Currencies were the second most profitable sector due to short positions in G10 currencies, most notably the euro. The Chinese yuan depreciating against the US dollar to its lowest level in 11 years was also beneficial for the fund, although returns in non-G10 currencies were flat overall. The fund’s performance in commodities was mixed, with gains in agriculture cancelled out by losses in energies and metals. The positive performance in agriculture was largely driven by short positions in coffee and sugar, with smaller contributions from soybeans and soymeal. Long positioning in nickel and short exposure to copper made money, but these gains were not enough to offset losses in precious metals. In energies, a long position in Brent crude was profitable after the Saudi refinery attack on September 14, but generated losses over the full three months. The fund’s positioning in gasoline and carbon emissions also lost money.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Partnership achieved net realized and unrealized losses of $16,885,370 from its trading activities, and net of brokerage commissions of $845,338. The Partnership accrued total expenses of $1,965,548 including $554,353 in management fees paid to the General Partner, $0 in incentive fees, and $730,086 in service and professional fees. The Partnership earned $298,442 in interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. An analysis of the profits and losses generated from the Partnership’s commodity futures trading activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is set forth below.

Second Quarter 2020. Global equities recovered most of their year-to-date losses in the second quarter of 2020, as surging technology stocks drove the MSCI World up 19.4%, the index’s largest quarterly gain since 2009. Several other sectors experienced a “risk on” rally: prices in energies, base metals and commodity currencies all rose. WTI crude climbed back to near US$40 a barrel; copper prices increased by a quarter; and the Australian dollar, Norwegian krone and Russian ruble posted high single to double-digit gains against the US dollar. Elsewhere, returns in fixed income and agricultural commodities were mixed. While performance was varied across the fund’s portfolio, its overall defensive positioning during the quarter resulted in a negative return. Technical signals accounted for most of the negative performance, largely due to losses in major-market futures trend following, while fundamental signals also added to negative returns. The fund made money from long fixed income exposure, particularly in emerging markets. However, these profits were not enough to offset losses from short positions in metals, stock market indices and energies. The negative performance in currencies was largely due to short positions in G10 currencies versus the US dollar. By contrast, appreciating emerging market currencies were slightly profitable for the fund overall. The fund maintained its defensive posture throughout the quarter, leaving it positioned to profit from any further market declines.

First Quarter 2020.The first quarter of 2020 was a tumultuous time for the world as the Covid-19 crisis escalated, leading to increased volatility across financial and commodities markets. Stocks suffered their largest fall since 2008, with the MSCI World falling 34.0% below its peak and crude oil prices sliding by around two thirds, reaching lows not seen since 2003. The Partnership’s returns for the quarter were largely driven by long positions in equity index futures, with the remaining losses mostly split between currencies and energies. From a strategy perspective, technical signals (mostly trend following) were positive, while losses were concentrated in fundamental signals. Trend-following signals performed well over the quarter, despite the sharp reversal in equity markets. Faster versions of the signal caught onto the developing bear market and went short quickly enough to profit from some of the downward movement in March. Even the slower trend-following signals that remained long stocks still made profits in commodities, currencies and fixed income that outweighed losses from equity indices. Fundamental signals, on the other hand, performed poorly, because they were positioned long equities, short fixed income, long oil and long emerging market currencies. In summary, these signals were positioned against the “risk-off” sentiment that swept over markets as the potential economic impact of the virus became apparent.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Partnership achieved net realized and unrealized gains of $4,255,420 from its trading activities, net of brokerage commissions of $1,264,420. The Partnership accrued total expenses of $3,355,625, including $869,969 in management fees paid to the General Partner, $122,089 in incentive fees, and $1,332,032 in service and professional fees. The Partnership earned $1,873,897 in interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. An analysis of the profits and losses generated from the Partnership’s commodity futures trading activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is set forth below.

Second Quarter 2019. The Partnership generated a loss in the second quarter of 2019, as the S&P 500 climbed to an all-time high and yields on US 10-year Treasuries fell below 2% for the first time since 2016. In commodities, WTI crude briefly dropped to below US$55 a barrel, while gold prices rose to their highest level in six years. From a sector perspective, financial futures contributed positively performance over the three months due to long fixed income and equity index positions. At the same time, losses accrued from positioning in commodity futures, particularly the agriculture and energies sectors. Long fixed income positions profited alongside dovish outlooks from policymakers at the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank. Positioning in Europe proved particularly beneficial, with yields on German 10-year bunds falling below a record -0.3%. Positions in Euribor, bund and BTP futures all made money for the fund. Longer-dated US and Japanese government bonds were also among the top contributors to performance. A similarly buoyant environment for equities resulted in profits from stock indices, mostly from long positions in US, Australian and European markets. Negative performance in commodities was led by losses in agriculture and energies, with corn, natural gas and crude oil among the largest detractors from performance. Corn rallied to a five-year high after heavy rain led to flooding in the US Midwest. US natural gas prices continued to slide from their December highs, while an uptrend in crude oil since the beginning of the year reversed course in April. Losses in metals were driven by a short position in gold, which cancelled out profits from positioning in copper and aluminum.

First Quarter 2019. The Partnership posted a near flat return in the first quarter of 2019, as global equity indices rebounded from December lows, yields on US Treasuries fell and most major commodity markets gained. From a sector perspective, performance in commodities was mixed: the fund generated profits in agriculture and lost money in energies. Falls in certain crop markets were behind the fund’s positive return in agriculture, with short positions in corn, wheat and coffee accounting for a large part of the profits. In energies, the fund’s negative performance was the result of short positions in crude oil, gasoline and heating oil, which all posted double-digit returns over the three months. The fund started the year with short positions in all three markets, but these exposures had turned long by quarter-end. Profits from fixed income were the result of the fund’s long positions in government bonds and short-term interest rates, with notable contributions to returns from bund, JGB and Euribor futures. Yields on German and Japanese 10-year government bonds turned negative during the quarter. At the same time, net long exposure to equities indices, particularly in US and European markets, generated a positive return. The S&P 500 rose 13% and Eurostoxx 50 climbed 10% during the quarter, with both indices recovering most of the losses sustained in the final three months of 2018. Heading into the second quarter, the fund maintains long positions in bond markets and a positive beta to the US Dollar Index, and now has modest long exposure to the stock market.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Partnership does not engage in off-balance sheet arrangements with other entities.

Contractual Obligations

The Partnership does not enter into contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments of a type that would be typical for an operating company or that would affect its liquidity or capital resources. The Partnership’s sole business is trading futures, related option and forward currency contracts, both long (contracts to buy) and short (contracts to sell). All such contracts are settled by offset, not delivery. Substantially all such contracts are for settlement within four months of the trade date and substantially all such contracts are held by the Partnership for less than four months before being offset or rolled over into new contracts with similar maturities. The Partnership’s financial statements present a Condensed Schedule of Investments setting forth net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the Partnership’s open futures and forward currency contracts, both long and short, at September 30, 2020.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Due to the nature of the Partnership as a speculative commodity pool, changes from December 31, 2018 are not material.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures.
